Chaotic car chase ends with ICE nabbing alleged foreign terrorist leader accused of holding wife captive

Chaotic car chase ends with ICE nabbing alleged foreign terrorist leader accused of holding wife captive

FIRST ON FOX: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a Brazilian illegal immigrant, who authorities say previously served as the commander of two designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations, after allegedly attempting to flee a North Carolina traffic stop while preparing to escape to Mexico. Felipe Linares de Oliveira Dell Aquilla, known as “Don,” was arrested June 5 in Mooresville, North Carolina, after allegedly leading law enforcement on a vehicle pursuit that ended in a crash before his arrest, according to a Department of Homeland Security press release obtained by Fox News Digital. Federal authorities say Dell Aquilla was wanted in Brazil on charges of criminal association and extortion and had been preparing to leave the United States for Mexico. Dell Aquilla previously served as a commander within the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (CV), two Brazil-based criminal organizations that were recently designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations by the Trump administration, according to DHS. ICE ARRESTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WITH ALLEGED TERROR TIES IN CALIFORNIA, ONE OF THE MOST WANTED MEN IN INDIA “This arrest demonstrates the unwavering commitment of HSI to protect our communities from dangerous international criminals,” Mark M. Zito, special agent in charge of HSI in North and South Carolina, said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital. “By removing a known leader of violent foreign terrorist organizations — wanted for serious crimes including criminal association and extortion — we have prevented further harm to innocent people here and abroad,” Zito said. EXCLUSIVE: ICE NABS MULTIPLE CONVICTED KILLERS IN SINGLE DAY AMID NATIONWIDE IMMIGRATION SWEEP Law enforcement intelligence indicated Dell Aquilla was holding his wife against her will as he plotted his escape to Mexico. Authorities said investigators later interviewed his wife, who confirmed she had been held against her will. Investigators said Dell Aquilla led authorities on a pursuit after officers initiated a traffic stop. The chase ended when he crashed into stopped traffic and allegedly attempted to flee on foot before being taken into custody. A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of multiple cellphones, laptops, cash and a 9 mm handgun, according to DHS. FIVE ANTI-ICE AGITATORS ARRESTED DURING CHAOTIC DELANEY HALL CONFRONTATIONS CAUGHT ON VIDEO “Our agents, working alongside dedicated state and local law enforcement partners, acted swiftly and decisively to ensure this individual will no longer threaten the safety of our neighborhoods,” Zito said. “HSI will continue to pursue those who endanger our communities and bring them to justice.” Dell Aquilla was transported to a county jail and faces a state felony charge of fleeing to elude arrest. HSI is pursuing additional charges of kidnapping and being an alien in possession of a firearm, according to DHS. ICE has also lodged a detainer on him. Dell Aquilla illegally entered the United States “at an unknown date and location,” according to federal authorities. HSI Greensboro and HSI Charlotte worked alongside HSI New England, the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office and the Mooresville Police Department in the operation.

Hillary Clinton’s White House UFC jab backfires after critics point out what her husband did in ‘our house’

Hillary Clinton’s White House UFC jab backfires after critics point out what her husband did in ‘our house’

Hillary Clinton’s criticism of President Donald Trump’s White House UFC event drew swift backlash from conservatives, who accused the former first lady of selective outrage by invoking scandals from her and her husband’s time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, first slammed the UFC idea last month before posting Sunday that the White House is “not his house” but “our house,” while promoting merchandise benefiting groups and candidates she said would “respect the form AND the function of the people’s house.” “Remember, during today’s literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it’s not his house. It’s our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form and the function of the people’s house,” she wrote in a post that had a disclaimer blocking most replies. Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., was one of many critics who sounded off by retweeting Clinton’s post — making light of President Bill Clinton’s salacious behavior with intern Monica Lewinsky in that same People’s House. JUSTIN GAETHJE TARGETS ILIA TOPURIA’S DIVORCE, IGNITING FEUD BEFORE WHITE HOUSE SHOWDOWN “They literally rented out the Lincoln Bedroom and don’t forget Bill’s activity in the Oval Office,” Burchett said. “The vandalism that went on when you left was also well-documented.” Clinton’s husband famously denied having “sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky,” at a January 1998 press conference during the heat of his independent counsel probe over the largely unrelated Whitewater real estate matter. Retired Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson, who said he carried Bill Clinton’s nuclear football, sharply criticized Hillary Clinton over her UFC comments. MONICA LEWINSKY SAYS ‘RIGHT WAY’ FOR BILL CLINTON TO HANDLE AFFAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN TO ‘RESIGN’ “I was the Air Force [lieutenant colonel] who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside that ‘people’s house’ you’re suddenly so precious about. I saw it all up close for two years,” Patterson said. “While Bill was getting b— j— in the Oval Office from an intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air Force One. You lecture about ‘respect for the institution’ while your husband lost the nuclear codes. And when you finally slinked out in 2001? You and your crew trashed the place—vandalism, theft, the GAO confirmed it. Sit down, b—–, the adults are back in charge.” “Woman who stole White House furniture has something to say about ‘our house’,” remarked conservative watchdog Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton. DEMOCRATS, LIBERAL MEDIA FIGURES FUME OVER TRUMP DEMOLISHING WHITE HOUSE EAST WING FOR BALLROOM The official Republican Party account simply suggested Clinton “sit this one out.” As for claims lodged by Patterson and others against the former first lady, a Government Accountability Office investigation requested by then-Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., estimated $15,000 in damage to the White House, according to news reports at the time. Barr had claimed that the administration treated the building “worse than college freshmen checking out of their dorm rooms.” The GAO concluded that some “pranks” were clearly intentional, which would constitute a criminal act, while Clinton’s supporters said the damage was commensurate with that of prior administrations, according to the Los Angeles Times. Fox News Digital reached out to the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton’s office for comment.
