An illegal alien suspected of terrorism put many American lives in danger earlier this month after he allegedly crashed his car into stopped traffic and fled the scene during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest.Felipe Linares De Oliveira Dell Aquilla is a "criminal illegal alien from Brazil" who held his wife hostage and was known as a commander of foreign terror organizations, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.'This guy is no friend of America, nor our citizens, nor anybody else in this country.'Law enforcement officers were performing a traffic stop on June 5 when Aquilla allegedly tried to speed away in Mooresville, North Carolina.After the crash, Aquilla's wife confirmed to police that she had been taken hostage by her husband as he tried to escape to Mexico, the department said. Numerous laptops and cell phones were reportedly found in his car along with money and a 9mm handgun."This guy is no friend of America, nor our citizens, nor anybody else in this country," said Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell to WJZY-TV about the arrest. "He didn’t know we were actively looking for him, but once he seen a car, he got uncomfortable. And of course, we were already in position to do the arrest." Aquilla was booked into the county jail on felony charges of fleeing to elude arrest, and the DHS said it was pursuing kidnapping charges as well as firearm charges related to his immigration status.ICE also lodged a detainer on Aquilla. The DHS said it was unclear when Aquilla entered the U.S.According to jail records, Aquilla is 40 years old and has a court date scheduled for July 2. He was denied bond on account of the deportation order.Aquilla had allegedly been a commander of the Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho terror groups and has outstanding arrest warrants for extortion and criminal association in his home country, according to the DHS.InSight Crime expert Steven Dudley told WJZY that the two gangs are some of the largest in South America. "They traffic drugs. They are involved in human trafficking, human smuggling, contraband, local drug peddling, et cetera," he explained. "The United States has a big appetite for drugs. There is a lot of money laundering that happens in the United States."

"[Homeland Security Investigations] will continue to pursue those who endanger our communities and bring them to justice."Like Blaze News?

President Trump blasted critics of the Iran deal as "fools" for not thinking he was tough on Tehran, describing them as "either jealous, bad people, or stupid."
It's not an elimination game, but Czechia and South Africa will be desperate to get a result on Thursday.
The Department of Defense revealed it used Elon Musk’s Grok AI to fire 2,000 missiles at Iran.In a sworn statement in federal court, the DOD’s chief digital and artificial intelligence officer, Cameron Stanley, defended the chatbot’s existence as a “a matter of paramount national security,” saying that it was used to fire “2,000 munitions at 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours” in the Iran war.Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI is being sued by the NAACP in Mississippi for allegedly running at least 57 gas-burning turbines to power its Colossus 2 data center without the necessary permits or pollution controls required by the Clean Air Act. Stanley issued his statement as part of the federal government’s effort to get the lawsuit tossed out on national security grounds.It’s the first time that the Trump administration has admitted to using Musk’s AI in the Iran war, following reports that the military may have used AI targeting in its bombing of a girls’ school in Minab, Iran, that killed at least 175 people. Last year, the DOD awarded xAI a $200 million federal contract to install “Grok for Government” into its systems, ignoring a laundry list of issues with the platform.Grok has often gone on antisemitic rants; it has pushed debunked claims of white genocide in South Africa, insulted X CEO Linda Yaccarino with sexual comments, and been used to generate explicit photos of women and children. Other government agencies even see the tool as a security risk. Why, then, is the DOD defending its existence and continued use for the military?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has accused President Donald Trump of “coming after” him and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, claiming that the president directed the Department of Justice to investigate the couple. Newsom posted a video on social media on Monday, stating that he and his wife had “joined Donald Trump’s hit list” because the governor is “considering running for president.” 'It has been apparent ever since their maskless dinner party at the French Laundry during COVID that the Newsoms feel themselves above the law.'Newsom, who referred to Trump as “the most corrupt president in American history,” claimed that federal agents had “knocked on the doors of family, friends, and former employees.”“Not because they found a crime, because they’re simply trying to find one,” Newsom stated, adding that the federal agents were “digging through years and years of random documents.” “To get me, he’s coming after my wife, Jen, a public servant, a woman who’s dedicated her life to supporting women and girls,” Newsom continued. “We have nothing to hide,” he added.Newsom’s office stated that it believes grand jury subpoenas had been issued for records to financial institutions, ABC News reported. The governor’s office submitted a public records request seeking “all documents and records” from the DOJ that pertain to Newsom and his wife from the beginning of the second Trump administration.RELATED: 'Come after me': Gavin Newsom challenges Trump after claiming DOJ is investigating his wife Gavin Newsom, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. David Paul MorrisA source familiar with the situation informed Blaze News that multiple ongoing investigations relating to Newsom have been initiated since last year by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of California. One of those investigations concerns Siebel Newsom’s tax activities, and a separate probe concerns Newsom’s former chief of staff and potentially current staff members, the source confirmed. Local sources and whistleblowers reportedly triggered the investigations. Siebel Newsom, a documentary filmmaker, leads two tax-exempt nonprofits, the Representation Project and the California Partners Project. She also runs a film production company, Girls' Club Entertainment LLC, and works as a director for her family’s private foundation, the Siebel Family Charitable Foundation.The Sacramento Bee previously reported potential conflict-of-interest concerns related to one of Siebel Newsom’s nonprofits, writing, “In 2015, the year Newsom announced he would run for governor, the Representation Project’s contributions increased by 30% to almost $1.6 million.”The Representation Project’s tax filings show that the nonprofit funneled over $1.5 million to Siebel Newsom’s for-profit production company from 2015 through the first quarter of 2025. Siebel Newsom has received roughly $150,000 to $160,000 annually as the founder and chief creative officer for the Representation Project, which reported revenue of $1.2 million from April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025.It is unclear whether Siebel Newsom receives compensation from the other two nonprofits, though tax filings from the Siebel Family Charitable Foundation indicate she does not draw a salary there, and she is not listed on the tax filings for California Partners Project.Tax documents from 2015 to 2023 showed that the Siebel Family Charitable Foundation gave $35,000 in charitable donations, classified as “support,” to the Representation Project.RELATED: VIDEO: Gavin Newsom's wife explains how she's raising children to 'deconstruct' the 'limiting narratives' about gender Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Shannon Finney/Getty Images"It has been apparent ever since their maskless dinner party at the French Laundry during COVID that the Newsoms feel themselves above the law,” Michael Chamberlain, the director of the government watchdog Protect the Public's Trust, told Blaze News. "What is interesting is that the accusations of financial corruption originated in Sacramento," Chamberlain continued. "If the governor of a one-party state like California is feeling heat from his own capital, it would be no surprise if people tended to ignore his protestations of politicized justice and believe there may be some egregious self-dealing going on."The second alleged investigation is likely tied to Dana Williamson, who previously served as Newsom’s chief of staff and is a former consultant for current Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Xavier Becerra. Williamson pleaded guilty in May to three counts related to campaign finance fraud, filing a false tax return, and lying to federal investigators.Williamson was caught up in a scandal in which she was accused of conspiring with Sean McCluskie, Becerra’s former chief of staff, and a Sacramento lobbyist to funnel $225,000 from Becerra’s state campaign account to McCluskie.
