Maryland Man Uses Sledgehammer to Behead Iwo Jima Statue at the Marines' Quantico Base
A 27-year-old man accused of using a sledgehammer to decapitate a soldier on the Iwo Jima statue and cause extensive damage to the monument at Marine Corps Base Quantico is living in the U.S. illegally, Fox News reports. Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin reported that multiple federal sources confirmed Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano is a Mexican national living in the country illegally. Melugin reported that Maldonado Soriano is a former Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient whose legal status expired earlier this year. According to federal sources, Melugin said Maldonado Soriano entered the U.S. illegally in December 1999. He was granted temporary protection under the Obama administration's DACA immigration policy in 2014 and received multiple extensions, most recently from the Biden administration in 2024. Melugin reported that Maldonado Soriano lost his DACA status in August after it was not renewed by the Trump administration. Officers responded around 10:13 p.m. Wednesday to the statue near Richmond Highway and Fuller Road in Quantico, where they found Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, of Stafford, actively damaging the structure, according to police. Maldonado Soriano was quickly detained at the scene. Damage to the monument, which included the removal of one depicted soldier's head along with additional destruction, is estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, police say. Maldonado Soriano was arrested and charged with felony destruction of property, trespassing with intent to damage property, and felony injury to a monument.So which is this one -- a Doctor or an Engineer? Virginia is a sanctuary state now that the "moderate" CIA Wine-Aunt was elected to the governor's mansion. The leftwing lunatic and Soros DA Steve Descano of Fairfax County continues treating actual American citizens more harshly than illegal aliens, because he doesn't want to convict any illegal aliens of crimes for which they may be deported.
Just some light "consensual" sex with a minor. And note this was a plea -- the actual charge was sexual assault. Involuntary sex with a child.
The Fairfax County Sheriff's Office in Virginia ignored at least 1,670 immigration detainers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement between 2023 and 2025, releasing criminal illegal immigrants back into the community instead of transferring them to federal custody, according to a new House Judiciary Committee report. The interim staff report -- obtained by Fox News before its noon Tuesday release by the committee's Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement -- also accuses Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano of treating illegal immigrant defendants differently from similarly situated American citizens to limit their immigration consequences. "This interim report provides evidence of the ways in which just one local jurisdiction has implemented policies that allow dangerous foreign nationals to reoffend and avoid deportation," the report, issued under House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Chair Tom McClintock, R-Calif., concluded.
"But Fairfax County and prosecutor Steve Descano are not outliers. They are indicative of a modern, radical, socialist Democrat Party that seeks to erase national borders and place illegal alien criminals ahead of law-abiding American citizens," the report added. "The policies supported by these Democrats, including sanctuary policies, will have negative and lasting consequences for Americans. The Committee and Subcommittee will continue to conduct oversight of these sanctuary policies to inform potential legislative reforms to better protect American communities." The committee said a preliminary review of more than 1,100 criminal cases identified more than 100 previously unreported illegal immigrants who benefited from Descano's prosecutorial decisions. The report said Descano's office rarely pursued charges against illegal immigrants accused of crimes including driving under the influence, felony drug possession, felony grand larceny, shoplifting, fraud, trespassing, destruction of property and assaulting a law enforcement officer. The committee accused Descano's office of "de facto" decriminalizing some offenses and said most of the defendants reviewed went on to reoffend, in some cases escalating to violent crimes and murder. The report, titled "Fairfax County, Virginia: The dangerous consequences of sanctuary policies," also alleges that Descano misled Congress about the scope of his policies. "The Biden-Harris Administration worked to weaken the first Trump Administration's efforts to hold sanctuary jurisdictions accountable for undermining immigration enforcement," the report read. "In addition to dropping federal litigation relating to sanctuary jurisdictions' policies, the Biden-Harris Administration's Justice Department, beginning in April 2021, no longer required jurisdictions to cooperate with ICE as a condition of receiving federal grant funding."
During testimony before the committee in May, Descano said his policy was "written with legal permanent residents in mind for minor crimes." But in a September letter, the committee said Descano acknowledged that prosecutors could consider immigration consequences in cases involving illegal immigrants as well. Descano's campaign website previously stated that when "possible," his office would "make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences." He also argued that "if two people commit the same crime, but only one's punishment includes deportation, that's a perversion of justice and not a reflection of the values of Fairfax County. The committee cited numerous cases in which it said criminal defendants benefited from reduced or dismissed charges. In one example, prosecutors allegedly reduced felony charges involving the sexual assault of a child to misdemeanor "consensual sex with a child" and offered a 90-day suspended jail sentence.
... One case involved Marvin Morales-Ortez, an alleged MS-13 member whose charges were dropped before the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office released him in December 2025. The report said Morales-Ortez allegedly murdered a man in Reston, Virginia, one day later. ... The report highlighted the case of Stephanie Minter, who was fatally stabbed in February. The suspect, Abdul Jalloh, is an illegal immigrant with more than 40 prior charges in Fairfax County. The committee said Descano's office had dropped charges against Jalloh in almost every case and that police warned prosecutors before the killing that "it is not a question of if, but rather when [Jalloh] will maliciously wound -- or worse -- again." Cheryl Minter, Stephanie's mother, told the committee that "a system failed my daughter." "When policies protect people who are a known threat, innocent lives are put at risk," she said. "When warnings are ignored, families like mine pay the price."
NEW: Multiple federal sources confirm to @FoxNews that the suspect arrested for using a sledgehammer to behead a WW2 Iwo Jima monument in Quantico, VA on Tuesday is a Mexican illegal alien & former DACA recipient whose legal status expired this year.
Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano has now been charged with felony destruction of property and trespass with intent to damage property. Per federal sources, Soriano illegally crossed into the U.S. in December 1999. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration in 2014 and had it extended for years, most recently by the Biden admin in 2024, but he lost his DACA status in August of this year when it wasn’t renewed by the Trump administration.— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) October 23, 2026

"By ‘Fascism’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come."

Retardo it's impossible they commit the same crime because being in the country is illegal thus one has committed a different crime that requires deportation.

Not that he actually did any thinking in saying that, but IIRC elective abortion was banned both by the Taliban and the Northern Alliance. I think it is illegal under the PA and Hamas as well

It's not that I don't care, it's just like, okay is this different from Hegseth on any given Thursday as far as fucking something up? Like at least this wasn't a wing of the white house?

About 13% of the citizens in NOVA work for Uncle Sugar. And of course many of those working in the area also work for business supported by Uncle Sugar employees. So this is the problem, this gives a comfortable margin of victory for Dems since of course these people are going to try and vote themselves more money every election

Walz pardoned a pedo to try and stop him from being deported.
I don't understand why the Federal government tolerates this - they are not obligated to accept local jurisdictions undercharging illegals.
If a local jurisdiction does this, deport them anyway.

Just one example:
Buchanan County, VA.
Turnout statewide in the 2025 election was about 58%.
Buchanan? 38%.
It's a small county, but rurals don't turn out. It's a tiny county whose biggest city is about 800 people, but it's R+36 on PVI. Total population is about 18,000.
It's one of about 3 dozen small rurals that could have had 80% turnout because they hated Democrats so much but instead had below average turnout instead.
How do you move a population like that organizationally (not excusing the VAGOP, they seem to suck, but this is a real issue) when the central population hub is 800 people?

It'd work better than almost anything else.
But, the problem is ultimately cultural. They just don't consider voting very important. They live in the sticks. Their government is their local sheriff. The governor for most of them might as well be in a different state or country.
To address it is a generational issue, not one fixed with a quick promise of $5,000 tax rebates.

📰 The city's 911 system has been offline since 8:30 p.m. Wednesday night, according to mayor Barbara Lee and police.
📰 Reports show large fiber optic and copper cables sliced away by an apparent "bad actor," according to police chief James Beere.
📰 The police department's 911 call center has been re-routed to the county's system.
📰 Police say they are answering the phone but can only respond to "Priority One" calls.

False flag operation. Get an immigrant to destroy prideful American history so Trump and FoxNews can complain how the left hates America and loves crime,
Oh, here we go (as SugarTits likes to say).
Whenever someone on your team does something evil and retarded, it's always a "false flag" from our team.
Every time I read this, it is always an admission they fucked the dog and are trying to pin it on someone else.

How do you move a population like that organizationally (not excusing the VAGOP, they seem to such, but this is a real issue) when the central population hub is 800 people?
Easiest way? Give them a concrete pay out if they do vote R. Something Trump has been trying to build.
Because this is how Dems get people to the polls - "vote for us and you get paid"
I have real doubts that knocking on doors would motivate them. If the results of the last 20 years haven't done it, a door knock won't.
As TJM said, the problem is largely cultural. I'm less diplomatic than him, though. I think they're lazy, and would rather bitch than get off the damn sofa on the porch and go vote. (Yes, that's a bit of hyperbole)

No, gas prices are not nearly high enough to be some kind of material shock to the electoral system. You'd expect to see metros turning out at serious numbers even in red states if gas was a major factor at this point. And, no, that's not happening. It's motivating no one.

What does the GOP have to offer rural voters? It has been very disinterested in its base (as opposed to its donors) for a long time.
You can't scare them to the polls, because they don't believe urban ills are going to affect them. They're wrong. But they don't seem to think so.

At least three men in South Africa ambushed a father and his children as they were leaving their home. One put a gun to the son's head as he opened the gate. Two other armed males exited a car and rushed at the family.
The father killed all three attackers.

Yes, they would be turning out more. It would be animating them.
Gas prices do not, never have, and never will predict elections.
It's like wanting special elections to predict the next general. There's history upon history upon history showing that no, they don't have predictive power.
But year after year, "Oh, sure, maybe they've never been predictive before, but this year is totally happening."
Gas prices were actually higher under Biden and under Obama (adjusted for inflation) and neither saw serious punishment for gas prices.
If gas prices killed the party in power, Democrats would have lost California 20 years ago.

ace you shoulda tossed in the report from your burg about ignored detainers and the thousands of felonies by those released (NY Post last week).
But all of this is really the same thing. The populace and its elected reps just can't bestir themselves to do anything. Not as a whole, or a working majority. The vile degraded institutions ("courts") complete the picture mostly made up of accountable officials whom the electorate never holds to account.

TJM, not disputing your basic thesis on gas prices/elections at all, but CA - sort of a bad case to base any generalizations on. The state's politically dead. There's only one party, really, but more importantly, the electorate is self-destructively idiotic (like much of the US).
In the largest political earthquake in modern American history (down to county level), 2010, I believe exactly one incumbent in CA was booted. One deceased incumbent was re-elected as well.
This is how dead the state is. It's bizarre. Gas prices here should resemble those in TX. CA is an oil-rich state that formerly had a substantial % of American refining capacity. Both things, of course, dramatically damaged or limited, while an idiotic public looks on, sucking its thumb.

Yea, Mary. Is she Trump's cousin or niece or something who is always yakking her stupid flapping dickhole mouth about how bad Trump is? The media is always promoting her as someone we should trust because she's a relative.
But when Acton's own mom says she's trash, that it not only not newsworthy but off limits entirely.

Yea, Mary. Is she Trump's cousin or niece or something who is always yakking her stupid flapping dickhole mouth about how bad Trump is? The media is always promoting her as someone we should trust because she's a relative.
But when Acton's own mom says she's trash, that it not only not newsworthy but off limits entirely.
Suck my balls.

We all have times where we're tired or don't feel well or are under stress where things don't come out as we might like, but she does this repeatedly. I think it's racist of white Dems to promote her simply because she's black . I expect that were she alive today, the black poet ( since the last thread was talking about poets) and former slave, Phyllis Wheatley, would be a better candidate for public office than Kamala.

There's only one party, really, but more importantly, the electorate is self-destructively idiotic (like much of the US).
I maintain the elections in Cali are so fucked there's no way to know what the electorate actually is, and that's why they're sweating about Trump's threats to arrest the election officials. Sort of like how Miami was assumed to be a deep blue city until DeSantis supervised their elections with a microscope and suddenly it wasn't.

There's a rumor that several Democrat Senate HQs, including those in Texas, Michigan, and North Carolina, are celebrating the destruction of the Iwo Jima statue. In NC, they even set up a mock statue with sex toys and hypodermic needles, and blindfolded people, gave them baseball bats, and let them swing at it pinata-style. I'm told that Roy Cooper, the Democrat candidate, himself took a swing at it.

Yes, the polling where "cost of living" is about 30% of the main issue.
That 30% is Democrats saying, "holy shit...things are suddenly really expensive!" after acting like prices weren't changing under Biden.
Democrats settled on the campaign message, and that 30% number is just proof that it's going nowhere outside their bubble.

Good morning, all. Ready for another twist on Ilhan?
From the internet: Somali tattletales say she is not the daughter of Nur Said Elmi either. She IS the daughter of SIAD BARRE, the former dictator. Elmi took her in, then proceeded with the name changes to "Omar" that added yet another layer of identity fraud on Ilhan.
Let's see what the DNA evidence says. She might not have married her brother after all!
However, Barre's two actual kids, Ayanla and Deka, are living in Ohio, where some local Somalis have called for investigations of them.

And, those are just their final polls.
They don't include the months of polls that were 20 points in different directions.
And...how hard is it to get two numbers between 47-53, like most close elections will fall? And to keep missing by 2 points in the same direction every time with even that small window?

Fraud does not explain the important CA retardation. It's obviously significant, but very unlikely to be material to outcomes. There's far too much collateral evidence to confirm that voters are clueless.
Absurd things like bullet trains, and de facto de-criminalization of larceny (backed by *sheriffs*), and a dozen other idiotic things are the choice of voters, and the margins aren't slim. Fraud in American elections is a spectacular scandal and disgrace - but it's often used as a very lazy cope to avoid dealing with the dumbing down of the country and the toxic degradation of the institutions.
Collapsed education and a farcical propaganda environment in lieu of a real press have consequences.

CA's biggest problems is its voter base. I have no doubt a lot of fraud on a lot of things occurs (and matters in congressional races) but its a solid blue state for sure.

I remember when they secured the hard drive from the shop in Delaware and the owner of that shop said to the two FBI agents... "Considering what's on this computer, I'm a little concerned about my safety." The FBI AIC rather flippantly responded by saying, "Well, if you don't tell anyone, you have nothing to worry about."
So, I have no sympathy for any FBI agent that goes down for this asinine protection racket. The execs. on the 7th floor at Quantico didn't just send random agents to that call.

She passed the California Bar which is arguably the toughest in the country.
So is there a way to cheat that ...or did the alcohol work its magic and wear her down?

This one is an architect, Ace.
And he shouldn't be deported. He should be forced to pick lettuce on a prison farm until restitution is made.

Involuntary sex with a child.
The thing is that a century of jurisprudence assumed ALL sex with a child was involuntary, since a child couldn't legally consent. (Unless the accused was also a minor.)

That's an impressive perversion of English. Who approves her scripts?
I think she just hears it in her head as a vague idea that sounds good to hear and just can't translate that into actual words. I doubt that she tries them out to anyone before going on stage because she just trusts herself to get it right the first time.

Maldonado Soriano was quickly detained at the scene.
The fact that this didn't read as "Maldonado Soriano was quickly castrated and beaten into something resembling sloppy lasagna." makes me fear for the Marine Corps.
