A Democrat prosecutor in D.C.&#8217;s most populous suburb allowed illegal immigrants to go unpunished for vicious crimes because a felony conviction might lead to their deportation, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares alleged in an investigation Friday.
Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano requires his staff to examine &#8220;immigration consequences&#8221; when considering cases, then often pleads them down to more minor crimes. That&#8217;s a leniency not always afforded to Americans, and it amounts to illegal discrimination, Miyares said in a report that encourages the federal Department of Justice to take action.
Descano &#8220;engaged in a pattern and practice of denying U.S. citizens the same rights, privileges and immunities as illegal aliens in charging decisions and plea agreements. That is a violation, not just of due process, [but of] a 1996 law signed by Bill Clinton called the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which prohibits states from providing benefits to illegal aliens that are denied to citizens,&#8221; Miyares said on Friday outside the Fairfax County Courthouse, where he was flanked by crime victims who said they were failed by Descano.
&#8220;By saying to prosecutors, &#8216;you are to consider an individual&#8217;s immigration status,&#8217; and giving sweetheart plea deals they would not give to a normal U.S. citizen, you&#8217;re in violation of that law and the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause,&#8221; he said.
In one case, Wilmer Ramos-Giron had already been deported from the U.S. twice, then came back and was convicted of possession of a firearm in 2020. This year, he choked his ex-wife and threatened her with a knife and was charged with felony abduction and strangulation. Descano downgraded it to a misdemeanor, which would be less likely to trigger another deportation. He told the judge the lenient plea deal was because it was what &#8220;the victim wanted.&#8221; The victim later told the media that was not true at all.
Hyrum Baquedano Rodriguez, an illegal alien from Honduras with a record of repeated sex crimes against minors, broke into a victim&#8217;s home and tried to abduct a sleeping four-year-old. He was charged with abduction with intent to defile, carrying life in prison. Descano attempted to downgrade his charges and cap his sentence at only two years in prison. After two judges refused to accept such a plea agreement, Descano&#8217;s office dropped the charges, Miyares said. Federal immigration authorities have since detained Rodriguez for deportation.

The impact of Descano&#8217;s charging decisions became clear when federal immigration officers recently arrested a man in D.C. Some Democrats expressed outrage, saying he should not have been a priority because he had not been convicted of any crime. It turned out that David Perez-Teofani, a repeat illegal immigrant with a final order of removal, had been arrested for aggravated sexual battery of a child and indecent liberties with a child; the reason he had no conviction is because Descano simply dropped the charges.
Miyares found that Descano&#8217;s leniency toward illegal immigrants also included:
<ul class="ul-list" data-mark="*">
<li class="md-list-item">Declining to prosecute illegal alien Maldin Anibal Guzman for aggravated malicious wounding, attempted malicious wounding, malicious wounding by mob, and obstruction of justice, instead allowing him to plead guilty to simple assault.

Harmeet Dhillon, the DOJ&#8217;s Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, declined to comment on whether it could be a violation of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits treating people differently based on certain characteristics including national origin.

Voisin/The Washington Post)</div>
Descano narrowly won a primary election in 2019 after a massive infusion of cash from George Soros. The county&#8217;s mainstream Democrat prosecutor quit the party as a result, warning that it is improper and impermissible for &#8220;progressive&#8221; prosecutors to simply refuse to enforce laws they disagree with. Miyares said that&#8217;s exactly what Descano has done, through policies prohibiting enforcement of mandatory minimum sentences, ignoring the requirement for cash bail for repeat felons, and essentially changing the dollar limit for grand larceny by refusing to prosecute thefts below $1,500. &#8220;He therefore essentially legalized theft for any item worth $1,500 or less,&#8221; Miyares said.
&#8220;While Descano is entitled to his opinions about cash bail, he is not entitled to ignore the General Assembly’s lawfully enacted command that no repeat felon may be released without a secure bond,&#8221; Miyares wrote in his report. He said that the Supreme Court of Virginia has held that it is an &#8220;obvious&#8221; violation of the Virginia Constitution and the so-called Suspension Clause &#8220;when an executive sets aside a generally applicable rule of law based solely upon his disagreement with it.&#8221;
Yet Miyares told The Daily Wire that when the person in charge of enforcing the law is also the one violating it, there are few mechanisms for recourse in Virginia, where the attorney general&#8217;s powers are limited. He has asked the legislature to give his office the power to take over criminal cases that local prosecutors refuse to pursue, but &#8220;every time we have sought expansive authority, it has tragically died on a party line vote,&#8221; he said.
With an election for Virginia&#8217;s top offices taking place in a month, Democrats&#8217; handling of criminal justice could be a liability, particularly after Descano refused to prosecute a registered sex offender named Dick Cox who exposed himself in the girls locker room at a gym. The gym was next to a playground, a violation of his sex offender terms, but Descano refused to prosecute after Cox claimed he was in the women&#8217;s locker room because he is transgender and was being discriminated against.
Crime victims described the pain of being victimized once by a criminal, and then again by a prosecutor&#8217;s office that seemed uninterested in punishing offenders. One crime victim is Janine, whose last name The Daily Wire is not using because she is the victim of sexual assault. Police secured two recorded confessions from her rapist, giving prosecutors what she called a &#8220;layup&#8221; case. Then Descano&#8217;s staff failed to file paperwork within a nine-month deadline, which allowed the rapist to go free. Janine told Descano&#8217;s staffer, &#8220;You&#8217;re telling me because you didn&#8217;t do your job, the judge is going to dismiss it with prejudice?&#8221;
&#8220;She said, &#8216;I&#8217;m really sorry Janine, it&#8217;s political,'&#8221; she told The Daily Wire. &#8220;It leads me to believe it was intentional, because she said it was political. &#8230; I was traumatized. I never thought that [the legal system] would not protect me.&#8221;
In a similar story, Ronnie Reel was indicted in 2021 for forcible sodomy of a child (carrying life in prison). Police had two confessions, but because the prosecutor missed deadlines by months, neither was admissible at trial. Descano allowed Reel to plead guilty to a misdemeanor carrying six months, and blamed the victim as a pretext for the downgrade, Miyares said. The victim&#8217;s mother told Miyares that &#8220;not once was the prosecution in contact with me or my lawyer during the process.&#8221;
Descano&#8217;s office had a pattern of siding with perpetrators and blaming victims, Miyares said. After a police officer used his Taser on a man on PCP who was resisting arrest, the police officer was charged, and Descano&#8217;s office withheld exculpatory evidence, with a judge noting the &#8220;appearance of the misrepresentation of statements made by the Commonwealth to a circuit court judge as it relates to exculpatory evidence.&#8221; The officer was acquitted on all charges.
Descano&#8217;s office has also been dishonest with judges in order to get criminals off the hook, Miyares said.
Bryan Humberto Ramos Rojas was charged for stabbing a kitten and swinging a machete at a police officer, and Descano sought to drastically downgrade the offenses, while describing the offenses in ways that minimized them. The judge said he had been misled by &#8220;the Commonwealth&#8217;s repeated failure to fully inform the Court of the severity, lethality, and brutality,&#8221; and rejected the plea deal. Descano then shopped a similar plea deal to a different judge.
Rey Amparado was charged with four counts of child rape, carrying a mandatory life sentence. To get around that, Descano offered a plea to much more minor charges and an agreement that he would only serve three years in prison, and wouldn&#8217;t have to admit guilt. Prosecutors told the judge &#8220;the victim and her mother were &#8216;angry&#8217; with the way the case was being resolved, but that they were &#8216;not objecting to it,'&#8221; Miyares wrote. A judge wrote that in light of &#8220;the Defendant&#8217;s repeated acts of raping this child &#8230; just three years of active incarceration does not remotely reflect the gravity of the Defendant&#8217;s misconduct,&#8221; noting that the defendant expressed no remorse.
As a crime victim wiped away tears behind him, Miyares said, &#8220;The fact that they have to go to their state attorney general to have their voices heard is a reflection on this weaponized incompetence that Steve Descano has turned the Fairfax Commonwealth Attorney&#8217;s office into. Stop being a social worker, stop being a criminal defense attorney, and start being a prosecutor. If you&#8217;re not willing to do your job, resign so somebody else can.&#8221;

The Trump administration has directed Justice Department prosecutors across the country to investigate whether George Soros’s grantmaking network has provided material support to terror groups. 
Federal prosecutors were instructed to look into bringing charges of racketeering, arson, wire fraud, and material support for terrorism against Soros&#8217; Open Society Foundations (OSF), <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/us/politics/justice-trump-george-soros-foundation.html">according</a> to a copy of a directive obtained by The New York Times. The organization has long been criticized by conservatives for financially backing left-wing causes.
“Everything is on the table right now,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday when asked about the report. 
The directive was issued to U.S. attorneys in California, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Detroit, and Maryland.
“This DOJ, along with our hard-working and dedicated U.S. attorneys, will always prioritize public safety and investigate organizations that conspire to commit acts of violence or other federal violations of law,” Justice Department spokesman Chad Gilmartin told the Times. 
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Get 40% off new DailyWire+ annual memberships with code FALL40 at checkout!</a> 
The directive cites a report from the Capital Research Center, a conservative watchdog group, which says that OSF has given more than $80 million to “groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence.”
That <a href="https://capitalresearch.org/app/uploads/Report.pdf">report</a> said that OSF funded groups that “trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots,” backed the violent Stop Cop City campaign in Atlanta, and instructed “activists in the use of false IDs, blockades, and economic disruption” to protest Israel. 
In a statement, OSF said that the investigation was a “politically motivated” attack on &#8220;civil society.&#8221; 
“The Open Society Foundations unequivocally condemn terrorism and do not fund terrorism. Our activities are peaceful and lawful, and our grantees are expected to abide by human rights principles and comply with the law,” the group said. 
Calls to investigate and crack down on leftwing violence have increased after the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stephen-miller-vows-to-destroy-vast-domestic-terror-movement-behind-charlie-kirks-assassination?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Stephen+Miller+Vows+To+Destroy+‘Vast+Domestic+Terror+Movement’+Behind+Charlie+Kirk’s+Assassination">said</a> that the administration would go after organizations like the Open Society Foundations that he accused of facilitating violence. 
Last month, President Donald Trump called for Soros to be prosecuted, claiming the Hungarian-born New York billionaire and his son, Alex, backed violent protests across the country. 
“George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you!”

A shadowy for-profit company and its nonprofit counterpart provide free services to at least 40 far-left prosecutor offices, raising questions about whether it&#8217;s working on behalf of taxpayers or of donors who have essentially bought government.
The Wren Collective is a shadowy group that emerged from a Cold War-era initiative aimed at promoting Soviet films in the United States. Its current iteration — funded by a former Enron executive and host of other leftist megadonors — claims that America&#8217;s &#8220;system of policing and mass incarceration is deeply flawed and intractably racist.&#8221;
The group has intervened on specific criminal cases, written policies that the district attorneys implement — such as eliminating cash bail — and strategized with at least one district attorney to mobilize activists to pressure judges who stood in the way.
That&#8217;s according to new research from the <a href="https://www.policedefense.org/outsourcing-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund</a>, which used public records laws to secure tens of thousands of communications between leftist prosecutors and Wren.
Emails suggest that the collective gets funding from donors contingent on government offices agreeing to do the group&#8217;s bidding, even demanding proof that an office is following Wren&#8217;s recommendations in order to satisfy donors. Those same donors often bankrolled the district attorney&#8217;s election campaign.
&#8220;Once in office, these donor-activist groups leverage their political relationships with prosecutors to embed The Wren Collective in their offices as the DAs&#8217; lead policy and communications advisors,&#8221; the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund said.
&#8220;The Wren Collective, a single obscure consulting group, could only make policy for dozens of progressive prosecutors&#8217; offices and nearly 50 million Americans if those district attorneys understood the group&#8217;s help was strongly suggested by their shared political donors and allies,&#8221; it added. &#8220;Wren&#8217;s fiduciary duty and client loyalty remained with their political and nonprofit donors — the same donors who got them &#8216;hired&#8217; as unpaid policy and communications consultants to the elected prosecutors.&#8221;
One donor is David Menschel, a Portland activist who has funded the campaigns of radical DAs across the country. Menschel was a top donor to Portland DA Mike Schmidt in 2020. After he won the election, Menschel connected Schmidt with Jessica Brand, a former public defender who runs the Wren Collective.
Wren employee Amy Weber wrote to Schmidt: &#8220;We do this work without any billing or publicity. These policies will be yours.&#8221; It soon became apparent that Menschel would be funding Wren for its quasi-governmental work – with conditions. &#8220;I spoke to Dave, and all he needs is for us to give him a final scope of work,&#8221; Weber wrote.
Another donor is oil heiress Stacy Schusterman. Schusterman donated $1.8 million to PACs supporting the election of José Garza in Austin, Texas. Brand then had Garza&#8217;s office speak directly with their shared funder about the work that Brand&#8217;s group could do inside government.
Wren stands at the ready anytime soft-on-crime policies create a mess for prosecutors. When Loudoun County, Virginia&#8217;s prosecutor, Buta Biberaj, personally tried to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/loudoun-county-schools-tried-to-conceal-sexual-assault-against-daughter-in-bathroom-father-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">jail the father of a girl who was raped</a> by a &#8220;genderfluid&#8221; boy in the school bathroom — while the boy went on to sexually assault a second girl — Wren asked whether &#8220;you would like some communications support.&#8221; Wren went on to form a relationship with Biberaj&#8217;s office that included drafting &#8220;diversion&#8221; policies, which involved even lighter penalties for crime.
George Soros has reshaped law enforcement in the United States by injecting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/documents-reveal-how-george-soros-controls-prosecutors-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">huge sums of money</a> into previously sleepy elections, with far-left candidates sometimes outspending their rivals tenfold, and still squeaking out only the narrowest victories. The strategy involves the idea that influence groups don&#8217;t have to convince legislatures to change laws if they can place prosecutors who will simply decline to enforce them.
But this new breed of candidate has often never worked as a prosecutor, instead coming from activism circles that defend the rights of criminals. Once they&#8217;re in office, that support never goes away, the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund report found.
&#8220;The node of this donor-backed prosecutor influence operation is The Wren Collective LLC,&#8221; it wrote. &#8220;The substance of those policies – abolishing bail and releasing dangerous offenders, declining to prosecute narcotics, shoplifting, prostitution, and rioting while increasing prosecutions of law enforcement officers – have had serious consequences for public safety.&#8221;
In San Antonio, Texas, the Wren Collective &#8220;developed and implemented prosecutorial policies&#8221; for DA Joe Gonzales, all without a public contract. Brand was Gonzales&#8217;s &#8220;shadow communications director and senior advisor–despite other holding those roles on the public payroll,&#8221; the report said.
Even as the group secretly worked for the DA, Brand presented herself to the media as an independent expert who sought to deflect blame from Gonzales when crime rose. When the police chief complained of an increase in homicides because criminals saw few consequences, Brand orchestrated a seemingly organic &#8220;op-ed from a community advocate&#8221; in response.
Text messages show that in March 2020, Brand told the San Antonio DA&#8217;s office to drop a death penalty case, and offered to use a political action committee to pressure judges. &#8220;You could settle that death penalty case right now and no one would bat an eye,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2024/01/31/take-a-closer-look-at-the-conversations-between-bexar-county-das-office-criminal-justice-reform-group/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;Are the judges being any better? Or would it be helpful if some real justice pac volunteers started calling?&#8221;
In 2022, when a police officer non-fatally shot a suspect who hit him with a car, Wren pushed to drop charges against the suspect and indict the officer instead. &#8220;We got an indictment on the officer,&#8221; Gonzales&#8217; deputy texted Brand. &#8220;Thanks for the help.&#8221; Brand&#8217;s group even told Gonzales what to say about it, with the deputy reassuring her that he &#8220;stuck to the talking points.&#8221;
When Gonzales faced a recall, Brand connected him with lawyers to fight it. Gonzales replied, &#8220;This was sent to my work email, and I do not always check my work emails as often as I do my personal.&#8221; He told her to communicate with him on his personal email &#8220;because my secretarial staff can see my emails.&#8221;
The group wrote policies eliminating cash bail that were adopted by prosecutors in Virginia, Texas, and Florida; a policy that resulted in Portland not charging left-wing rioters; and a &#8220;Sex Work Policy&#8221; to &#8220;mitigate the many harms and abuses plaguing sex workers, who often also struggle with poverty, discrimination, and marginalization, by declining to prosecute.&#8221; It held weekly calls with since-recalled San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin.
Yet the Wren Collective is shrouded in secrecy. The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund said many prosecutors refused to turn over communications with the group under public records laws, with some demanding up to $14,000 and others producing responses that omitted communications that the law enforcement group knew existed.
Wren&#8217;s nonprofit arm is structured as a &#8220;fiscally sponsored project&#8221; of a larger nonprofit: the shell of a group dedicated to pushing Soviet films in the United States before the fall of the Communist bloc. That intermediary serves as a black box, preventing its donors and its staff salaries from being directly disclosed. But the larger group, once known as the American-Soviet Film Initiative, has reported millions in funding from the foundations of Schusterman, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s wife, Priscilla, and Cari Tuna, the wife of Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz.
Another major funder is Arnold Ventures, the charity of former Enron executive John Arnold. Arnold Ventures&#8217; former COO now works for Wren.
Yet records show that even as billionaires wrote checks so the nonprofit could provide shadow government workers free of charge, which the Wren Collective used to gain easy access to offices, Brand would sometimes later ask DAs to pay an identically-named for-profit firm. One contract obtained by the law enforcement group showed that the money — $15,000 a month from the office of Los Angeles DA George Gascon — went to Wren Collective, LLC. The contract was awarded without competition.
Wren may have pulled the same bait-and-switch on Minneapolis prosecutor Mary Moriarty. In May, the Department of Justice said it was investigating Moriarty for civil rights violations after saying that charging decisions would <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/04/us/doj-minnesota-hennepin-moriarty-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">take into account a suspect&#8217;s &#8220;racial identity&#8221;</a>. The following month, Moriarty asked the Board of Supervisors for approval to pay Wren $150,000 to counteract &#8220;misinformation.&#8221;
Brand did not respond to The Daily Wire&#8217;s questions about the difference between the nonprofit and for-profit groups, how much she was paid, which prosecutors she had worked for, who funded the nonprofit, and whether providing donor-funded services to government offices posed ethical concerns.
The group works hand-in-hand with a second group that steers Soros prosecutors after their election, Fair and Just Prosecution. FJP&#8217;s founding executive director, Miriam Krinsky, resigned last year, the day that The Daily Wire published documents showing her staff accused her of racism and said she hypocritically <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/head-of-soros-prosecutor-group-resigns-following-daily-wire-report-on-staff-mutiny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called the police on them</a>. She was replaced by Aramis Ayala, a black former Orlando prosecutor who is married to a member of the Wren Collective&#8217;s board.
Ayala was replaced as Orlando prosecutor by Monique Worrell, who gave confidential files to Wren so that the group could write a memo justifying not charging a teen with murder. The suspect was found in possession of a machine gun months later and sent to prison by federal prosecutors.

(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that billionaire financier and major Democratic donor George Soros and his son, Alex, should be charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO.
Trump has embarked on a campaign of threats and lawsuits against political adversaries, news organizations, and law firms, using a mix of litigation, executive power, and his influence in what allies describe as an effort to hold the powerful accountable and opponents call a chilling assault on dissent.
Soros, 95, has long been considered a villain by Trump and his base. His philanthropic organization, Open Society Foundations, is one of the world&#8217;s largest funders of leftist causes.
&#8220;George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America,&#8221; Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. &#8220;That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you!&#8221;

A spokesperson for Open Society Foundations denounced Trump&#8217;s comments.
&#8220;These accusations are outrageous and false. The Open Society Foundations do not support or fund Violent Protests,&#8221; the spokesperson said. &#8220;Our mission is to advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles at home and around the world.&#8221;
Trump has also called for investigations into former national security adviser John Bolton, who broke with Trump after leaving the White House and has been a persistent opponent.
FBI agents searched Bolton&#8217;s home on Friday as part of a national security probe, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Trump Calls For Corruption Charges Against Left-Wing Megadonor George Soros And Son

Executive

The puppeteer behind the radical prosecutors who have enabled carnage in America’s major cities is no longer in her job after her own staff and the prosecutors she trained accused the white woman of being racist and authoritarian.
Miriam Krinsky, executive director of Fair and Just Prosecution, resigned on September 20, 2024, apparently as a result of a story in The Daily Wire that same day. The resignation has not been previously reported.
After The Daily Wire asked about damning months-old emails in September, Fair and Just Prosecution spokesman Christopher Gray said, “I’ve had a stressful weekend since your email,” but did not say Krinsky had quit. But a newly obtained email shows that hours after the story was published, Krisny wrote an email to staff saying that “After eight years at FJP, I will be moving on.”
“It has been heartening to see a table of 14 elected prosecutors FJP assembled in early 2017 grow to nearly 70 leaders nationwide — individuals I, and FJP, were privileged to have worked with,” she added of the Soros takeover of law enforcement.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/soros-anti-police-group-allegedly-called-cops-on-minority-staff-who-said-boss-is-racist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">story</a> reported that in April 2024, Sherry Boston, the elected district attorney of DeKalb County, Georgia, accused Krinsky of racism for excluding her from a New York City event, adding that the group had “failed miserably” when it came to diversity. Krinsky replied by disparaging Boston and saying she was excluded from events because of merit, not race. Krinsky appeared to suggest that Boston, a black Democrat, had failed to advance “racial justice” by prosecuting too many crimes.
That led to an uproar from Krinsky’s own staff and others, who began a campaign to oust her, only to face what they said was retaliation. Krinsky had led Fair and Just Prosecution since the group’s inception in 2017. A Daily Wire analysis of archived versions of the Fair and Just Prosecution <a href="https://fairandjustprosecution.org/about-fjp/our-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> shows significant staff turnover. The group lost six of 16 employees in 2020, seven more in 2021, and nine of 22 in 2023.
“The workplace culture under Miriam’s leadership is oppressively authoritarian,” disaffected employees, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Daily Wire in an email. “Miriam manipulates a predominantly young, minority staff — exploiting their inexperience and the existing racial dynamics within the organization to tighten her grip on power.”
They said that despite Fair and Just Prosecution’s position that police should not be involved in situations that could be handled by social workers, “FJP, backed by Tides, are using law enforcement to retaliate against both current and former employees who have raised concerns about the organization’s practices. Some of these employees were wrongfully terminated and now face legal threats simply for attempting to do the right thing. Disturbingly, the organization has even orchestrated fake wellness checks as a means to weaponize the police—the same police they advocate should be defunded.”
Spokesman Gray said, “Any personnel actions taken by the organization are in full compliance with applicable laws, our anti-harassment policies, and reflect our core values.”
The Soros strategy to install radical progressives in district attorney positions, which in blue areas are often decided in quiet, low-turnout primary elections, relies on the idea that the billionaire would not need to influence entire legislatures to change laws if he could simply implant prosecutors who would ignore them. Mainstream Democrat prosecutors of the past viewed it as unethical to simply ignore entire classes of crimes.
But when a prosecutor misbehaves, there is little that anyone can do. For a full year, for example, The Daily Wire has been seeking emails relevant to Fair and Just Prosecution from Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg — who previously prosecuted President Donald Trump — under public records laws. The office has failed to produce them, with an attorney instead sending a letter every 30 days saying that the records will be produced within the next 30 days.
Last August, The Daily Wire reported how, after Soros spent $117 million since 2016 on reshaping America’s justice system, three in 10 Americans now live under a Soros prosecutor. The Fair and Just Prosecution group is the mechanism used to continue to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/documents-reveal-how-george-soros-controls-prosecutors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">control them after they are elected</a>.
Fair and Just Prosecution had the Soros-backed attorneys sign 33 pledges not to enforce specific laws — including election integrity measures and immigration laws — and attend more than 50 meetings or “convenings,” some of which were “mandatory.” FJP pressed prosecutors to let criminals off the hook if they are black, having them pledge to “reduc[e] racial disparities in case outcomes by at least 20%.”
At the meetings, Soros prosecutors got talking points and marching orders. At one meeting, political consultants told the assembled prosecutors to frame ignoring property crime as “reprioritizing resources” to “solve more murders.” The consultants cited polling that showed this messaging was more popular than simply acknowledging that prosecutors were not prosecuting lesser crimes.

Head Of Soros Prosecutor Group Resigns Following Daily Wire Report On Staff Mutiny

Groups tied to the left-wing billionaire George Soros are rallying in support of a Republican congresswoman&#8217;s plan to give millions of illegal aliens legal status in the United States.
Rep. Maria Salazar&#8217;s (R-FL) Dignity Act would allow illegal aliens to apply for a renewable, seven-year legal status, so long as they don’t have a criminal record beyond illegal entry. Illegal aliens who’ve been shielded from deportation under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program would be allowed to gain permanent legal status.
Conservatives have slammed the legislation as a handout to illegal aliens. But liberal groups, some with a history of supporting the legalization of all illegal aliens, are lining up behind the joint effort from Salazar and Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX).
That includes several organizations with ties to George Soros, the leftist billionaire and Democrat donor who has <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2022/10/01/soros-open-society-foundation-millions-pro-amnesty-pro-illegal-immigration-groups/">bankrolled</a> efforts across the country to encourage mass immigration and offer mass amnesty to illegal aliens before leveraging new immigrants as a Democratic voting bloc.
One <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-soros-backed-organizations-leverage-waves-of-new-immigrants-to-sway-elections">Soros-backed group</a> tracked the demographics of key swing states and worked to naturalize immigrants to “sway the outcome of national, state, and local elections.”

Another Soros-backed group, called United We Dream, raked in $700,000 from the far-left billionaire as it called for an amnesty for all illegal aliens, the closing of ICE detention facilities, and the defunding of ICE and Border Patrol.
Now, Soros-aligned organizations are lining up behind the Dignity Act.
One radical organization that advocates for an amnesty for all illegal aliens, FWD.us, came out <a href="https://www.fwd.us/news/fwd-us-statement-on-reintroduction-of-the-bipartisan-dignity-act/">in support</a> of Salazar’s bill in a statement that also bashed President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and “attacks on immigrant communities.”
“The bipartisan Dignity Act is a much-needed step forward. We thank Congresswomen Salazar and Escobar, along with the bill’s other co-sponsors, for reintroducing this important bipartisan legislation,” the far-left group wrote.
The organization doubled down on its support for mass amnesty for all illegal aliens, framing the Dignity Act as a step towards the group’s end goal.
“We will continue to fight for a more fair and just immigration system, including a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants building their lives in the United States. We hope today’s reintroduction will be met by more steps towards commonsense immigration reform,” the group stated.
The organization frequently <a href="https://www.fwd.us/news/fwd-us-statement-on-trump-administrations-plan-to-end-tps-for-honduras-and-nicaragua/">criticizes</a> the Trump administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fwd.us/news/fwd-us-statement-on-trump-administration-executive-orders-on-immigration/">policies</a> on immigration and <a href="https://www.fwd.us/news/fwd-us-statement-on-the-2024-election-results/">complained</a> when he won the 2024 election.
The group’s partner organization, the Fwd.us Education Fund, has <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/past?filter_keyword=fwd.us">received nearly $600,000</a> from the Open Society Foundation, a project of billionaire Democrat donor and far-left philanthropist George Soros. One $125,000 grant bankrolled an effort “to catalogue and provide comprehensive legal analysis of federal immigration policy.” The Fwd.us Education Fund shares the same board members as Fwd.us.
The group also <a href="https://www.fwd.us/team/executive/todd-schulte/">opposed</a> the Trump administration&#8217;s Remain in Mexico policy, which bars illegal aliens from entering the country while asylum claims are being adjudicated. FWD.us did not respond to a request for comment.
FWD.us is far from the only leftist organization that has come out in support of the effort to grant legal status to millions of illegal aliens.
Far-left organization UnidosUS also sang the praises of the bill online. “The reintroduction of the Dignity Act comes at a critical time. Immigrant families across the country are living with fear and uncertainty amid rising enforcement and threats of mass deportation,” the group wrote in a <a href="https://x.com/weareunidosus/status/1945595952099721670?s=46&amp;t=Xt7LDGYR54I2nQa-aK0rOA">post on X</a>. “We welcome bipartisan efforts to protect long-residing immigrants who have built their lives here. Any serious solution must offer stability, legal status and a path forward.”
The organization was awarded a $22 million grant from the Biden administration to encourage that “vulnerable populations,” including illegal aliens, receive the COVID-19 vaccine, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-government-is-spending-22-million-to-help-illegal-immigrants-get-covid-vaccines">reported</a>.
The group also came out <a href="https://unidosus.org/press-releases/unidosus-condemns-us-senate-for-passing-president-trumps-cruel-costly-and-harmful-federal-budget-bill/">against</a> Trump&#8217;s budget bill, arguing that it will allow the administration to &#8220;turbocharge its chaotic, malicious and unlawful deportation machine.&#8221;
The group’s sister organization, UnidosUS Action, <a href="https://www.unidosusaf.org/pathtocitizenship">called</a> for illegal aliens to receive a pathway to citizenship in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. That group has raked in <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/past?filter_keyword=unidosus">half a million dollars</a> from the Open Society Foundations, with all of the money going to “support policy advocacy on immigration.”
UnidosUS told The Daily Wire that it has “consistently voiced support for bipartisan bills that offer immigrants the stability they deserve.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s why we welcome the Dignity Act, a genuine bipartisan effort that protects long-settled immigrants who contribute to our country from deportation while allowing employers to retain their workforce,&#8221; the group explained.
The American Immigration Council, which has received <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/past?filter_keyword=American+immigration+council+">nearly $2 million</a> from the Open Society Foundations and <a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/taking-action-trump-first-100-days/">dubbed</a> Trump&#8217;s immigration agenda &#8220;cruel,&#8221; also appears to support the legislation, favorably showcasing it on its site.
“Members of Congress reintroduced what has sadly become an increasingly rare bit of legislation: an immigration reform bill aimed at addressing large-scale systematic problems with our immigration system,” the organization wrote in a <a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/legislators-immigration-reform-reintroduced-dignidad-act/">glowing review</a> of the bill, which called it “one of the most sweeping attempts to modify the immigration system that has been proposed in years.”
The organization has received <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/past?filter_keyword=American+immigration+council+">numerous grants</a> from Soros’s foundation, including funding “to support strategies that ensure legal protections for immigrants and demonstrate the value of immigrants to America,” “to develop advocacy strategies around federal immigration policy,” and to “support policy advocacy on immigration.”
The American Immigration Council did not respond to a request for comment.
While Salazar’s legislation has been celebrated by leftist organizations, conservative politicians and organizations have spoken out against it.
“Some of my colleagues in Congress want to reward illegal aliens with amnesty,” Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) charged in a post on X in an apparent <a href="https://x.com/RepTiffany/status/1945944219438260265">reference</a> to Salazar’s effort to legalize illegal aliens. “No amnesty — only mass deportations.”
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) told The Daily Wire that it opposes the Dignity Act, calling it a “de facto amnesty.”
“‘A pathway to citizenship’ is just a more verbose term for amnesty. As for the non-DACA beneficiaries of this bill, being allowed to remain here legally indefinitely is still a de facto amnesty,” FAIR Media Director Ira Mehlman told The Daily Wire.
“The five-year requirement for eligibility seems to have been carefully chosen to predate the onset of the Biden administration. But, nevertheless, by FAIR&#8217;s estimates, there were some 15 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. prior to Biden taking office — which would mean that the bill would grant legal status to an enormous population of illegal aliens,” Mehlman added.
He added that the bill would almost certainly provide a way to give full citizenship to those granted renewable legal status under Salazar’s bill.
“There is also pretty much close to a 100% chance that within a few years, there would be an effort to put these millions of people with renewable status on ‘a pathway to citizenship’ as well,” Mehlman charged. “We would almost certainly hear the same arguments that are being made for granting DACA beneficiaries a full amnesty.”
Salazar did not respond to a request for comment.

On Monday, leftist billionaire George Soros, who has spent millions attempting to turn the conservative bastion of Texas blue, will launch a new initiative called “Blue Texas” as part of the efforts of Texas Majority PAC.
Blue Texas is aiming to recruit candidates and volunteers in conjunction with Texas’ state and county Democratic parties. “If a win is on the table in 2026, we don’t want to leave it there by not being organized,” Katherine Fischer, deputy executive director of Texas Majority PAC, declared. “There is no choice for Texas or for anyone else in the country who wants to see a Democrat in the White House after 2032 but to find a pathway through Texas.”
“Soros, the billionaire investor and philanthropist, <a href="https://archive.is/o/GN1E7/https:/www.wsj.com/us-news/elon-musk-texas-da-jose-garza-oust-atempt-206db043">has devoted millions</a> to turning Texas blue in the past and donated $2.1 million to Texas Majority in 2024 and $1 million in April, records show,” The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/group-backed-by-george-soros-to-plow-millions-into-turning-texas-blue-4dfa75bf">noted</a>. “Texas Majority, the Texas Democratic Party and the nearly dozen county parties under the Blue Texas alliance collectively spent about $35 million in the 2024 election cycle.” Organizers expect to raise even more money for 2026.
In the 2024 presidential election, President Trump crushed former Vice President Kamala Harris in Texas by almost 14 percentage points. The last Democrat president to win the state was Jimmy Carter in 1976; the last Democratic U.S. Senator from Texas was Lloyd Bentsen in 1988.
One possible target for Democrats is GOP Senator John Cornyn’s seat; he is being challenged in the GOP primary by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Polls show Democrat Colin Allred, who ran far better against GOP senator Ted Cruz than Harris did against Trump, is competitive with Paxton in a general election.
In 2022, Soros <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/george-soros-drops-50m-donation-dem-pac-doubling-midterm-spending">donated $50 million</a> to an American leftist PAC shortly after the November 2022 elections. Soros donated the funds to Democracy PAC, whose president was his son, Alexander, a source who examined the PAC’s new Federal Elections Commission filing reported to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/07/george-soros-midterm-super-pac-00072797">POLITICO</a>. That was in addition to the $125 million he gave the group in January 2022.
Soros invested tens of millions of dollars into getting progressive district attorneys elected in 75 cities across the United States, analysts with the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF) reported.

By late 2022, Soros had invested about $40 million over the past decade to elect dozens of progressive prosecutors, including many in the most populated U.S. cities. Soros-backed prosecutors represented one-fifth of all Americans, and they held office in half of the top 50 most populated U.S. cities and counties.
“Soros is using that campaign money and the hundreds of millions more for supporting organizations to quietly transform the criminal justice system for the worse, promoting dangerous policies and anti-police narratives to advance his radical agenda,” LELDF President Jason Johnson told <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/report-soros-spent-40-million-to-elect-75-social-justice-prosecutors">The Washington Examiner</a>, the first to publish the analysis.
“Over the past decade, George Soros has spent $40 million to elect 75 of his chosen prosecutors. In campaigns from Houston and Los Angeles to Philadelphia and Orlando, Soros was the campaign&#8217;s biggest spender by far — as much as 90% of the dollars spent in some races. Soros isn&#8217;t done yet — he&#8217;s already spent another million so far this year on his hand-picked district attorneys,” Johnson said.

Dems Backed By Soros Launch Huge New Initiative To Turn Texas Blue

Larry Krasner, the far-Left Philadelphia district attorney backed by George Soros, won the Democratic primary over a more moderate challenger on Tuesday night, likely securing a third term as he continues to push soft-on-crime policies.
Krasner was declared the winner over Pat Dugan, a U.S. Army veteran and former head administrative judge of the Philadelphia Municipal Court, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/philadelphia-district-attorney-election-31df19bdb5fb6e10ad65e5702468e2b9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>. With 83% of the vote counted as of Wednesday morning, Krasner was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/20/us/elections/results-pennsylvania-district-attorney-philadelphia-primary.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ahead</a> of Dugan by nearly 30 percentage points. Krasner&#8217;s primary victory all but ensures his third four-year term, as no Republican candidate is running in the general election in November in the deep blue city.
During the primary race, Dugan nearly doubled Krasner&#8217;s donations, raking in $900,700 to Krasner&#8217;s $499,900 between November 2024 and May 2025, Philadelphia&#8217;s public radio station WHYY <a href="https://whyy.org/articles/philadelphia-district-attorney-race-campaign-finance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. More than half of the money Krasner received for the primary came from people living outside of the city, including from wealthy leftists like Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s, and Patricia Quillin, the wife of Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings. Dugan, meanwhile, received most of his money from donors within Philadelphia.
Krasner focused his re-election messaging on national politics and President Donald Trump. In March, Krasner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/soros-das-comments-about-punching-trump-could-haunt-him-in-re-election-fight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> Trump and his supporters &#8220;fascists&#8221; and &#8220;bullies who need to be punched in the face as hard as possible.&#8221;
“Trump likes crime. Fascists like crime. Right-wing Republican MAGA people like crime and they like it because it gins up a crisis that doesn’t have to be, which allows them to scapegoat different groups of marginalized people so they can eliminate our rights. This is a very old playbook,” he added.

Dugan portrayed himself as a moderate compared to Krasner, slamming the district attorney&#8217;s policies. Some of Krasner&#8217;s lenient policies include ending cash bail for some offenses, cutting back on parole supervision, and pushing for reduced sentences for certain crimes. Krasner oversaw a massive spike in homicides after taking office in 2018. Homicides in the city jumped from 351 in 2018 to 562 in 2021, according to Fox News. Philadelphia <a href="https://pennsylvaniaindependent.com/politics/philadelphia-violent-crime-hits-20-year-low-as-trump-says-city-is-suffering/#:~:text=The%20nonprofit%20Pew%20Charitable%20Trusts,%2C%20while%20murder%20fell%2026.4%25." target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> a drop in violent crime to a 20-year low in 2024.
The district attorney was impeached by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 2022, but a Commonwealth Court judge ruled that the articles of impeachment didn&#8217;t meet the state constitution&#8217;s requirement.
The Philadelphia GOP <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/politics/philadelphia/patrick-dugan-gop-write-in-votes-pennsylvania-primary-election-2025-20250520.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urged</a> voters to write in Dugan&#8217;s name on the Republican line in the primary election. If he receives 1,000 write-in votes, he could run as a Republican in the November general election. Dugan&#8217;s campaign manager, however, said he would decline the GOP nomination.

Ten prisoners, including four charged with murder, escaped from the New Orleans jail on Friday after the city elected as sheriff a progressive activist who had never worn a badge.
Orleans Parish became a trial run in a plan by left-wing billionaires to extend George Soros&#8217; campaign of installing anti-police prosecutors even further, into electing anti-law-and-order sheriffs. Susan Hutson was elected in December 2021, with <a href="https://www.wwno.org/politics/2021-12-10/a-susan-hutson-win-could-give-new-orleans-and-the-u-s-its-1st-progressive-sheriff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Public Radio</a> saying at the time that “a Susan Hutson win could give New Orleans — and the U.S. — its 1st progressive sheriff.”
Hutson had never served as a law enforcement officer, but rather worked as an “independent police monitor” who criticized police, New Orleans Public Radio said. The outlet stated she would “reform the criminal justice system with a left-wing ideology.” The primary role of the sheriff in Orleans Parish is to run the jail.
Hutson squeaked into office after the incumbent, another black Democrat, got 48% in the primary compared to her 35%, which led to a runoff since the incumbent did not get 50%. In the runoff, the dynamic flipped with the assistance of big-money out-of-state groups, including PAC for Justice, which wants to divert the jail budget to “social programs.”
During the initial election, Hutson “struggled to pull in money, only taking in $131,000 from donors, but during the runoff, <a href="https://www.flipthebench2020.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PAC for Justice</a> received a $200,000 donation from a national group named FWD.us, which has also donated funds to end non-unanimous jury trials,” New Orleans Public Radio said. FWD.us was co-founded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. PAC for Justice&#8217;s other <a href="https://eap.ethics.la.gov/CFSearch/LA-108137.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donors</a>, almost all out-of-state, also included groups that were, in turn, funded by Soros.
“Hutson said if elected, she would also support promoting women to deputies to diversify the workplace, helping to buck the national trend of the white male sheriff,” the outlet added.
Sean Kennedy of Virginians for Safe Communities, which opposes lenient prosecutors, told The Daily Wire that Hutson “was an anti-police activist lawyer who never wore a badge but won anyway with $160,000 from Soros PACs and another $200,000 from Mark Zuckerberg — neither of which (last time I checked) are from New Orleans.”
“George Soros and his allies have expanded their attempted takeover of the criminal justice system. On top of the $50 million Soros spent on prosecutors, he is now spending millions more to buy local sheriff races and install radical incompetents like he did in New Orleans, Phoenix, and on Cape Cod,” he added.
Hutson lashed out on Friday about how having four accused murderers on the loose would affect her own election.
&#8220;Why did it happen just right now, right in the middle, as we&#8217;re getting ready to start this sheriff&#8217;s race?&#8221; she said at a press conference on the escape, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/11-men-escape-new-orleans-jail-considered-armed/story?id=121879077" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>. &#8220;This is very suspicious. We know that they had help. We&#8217;re showing you they had help. This was coordinated. There&#8217;s much more than meets the eye.&#8221;
The remark suggested that she believes that rather than the escape happening due to her incompetence, it was orchestrated by jail guards who wanted to see her replaced as sheriff.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/documents-reveal-how-george-soros-controls-prosecutors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soros takeover of the legal system</a> is one of the most remarkable political phenomena of the last decade. The billionaire financier, an expert in arbitrage, discovered that rather than influencing state legislators to change laws, it is cheaper and easier to elect prosecutors who will simply nullify laws they don’t like by refusing to prosecute them.
Mainstream Democrat and Republican prosecutors believe it is a violation of the separation of the branches of government to ignore laws. But Soros also discovered that by targeting cities where residents “vote blue no matter who,” it is possible to replace Democrat incumbents with leftists who don&#8217;t share those ethical concerns by injecting unheard-of amounts of cash into primary elections, which were historically cheap, low-turnout affairs.
Instead of donating to a candidate&#8217;s campaign, the Soros machine essentially runs it for the candidate, through &#8220;independent expenditures&#8221; such as ads and mailers that it designs, pays for, and runs on its own.
Putting national cash into local races for sheriff represents a significant advancement of the project, one that would place anti-police activists in charge of a region’s public safety.
Ten inmates left the jail through a hole behind a toilet at 1:01 a.m., while only one employee—a civilian rather than law enforcement—was assigned to watch their pod, and while that person left to get food, officials said. At 8:30 a.m., they were discovered missing.
&#8220;These folks that were able to get out did so because of defective locks on the cells,&#8221; Hutson said, while also saying, “We have the indication that these detainees received assistance in their escape from inside our department.”

Leftist Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner could be in trouble after he suggested last month that President Donald Trump and his supporters should be “punched in the face as hard as possible.&#8221; 
The Republican Party of Pennsylvania told The Daily Wire on Monday that it asked the Justice Department to investigate Krasner over his March suggestion that Trump and his supporters were “fascists” who needed to be “punched.” Krasner, a George Soros-backed district attorney who implements lax-on-crime policies, is running for a third term as Philadelphia’s top prosecutor. 
“Violence and threats are never acceptable, but they are particularly egregious when used as a political tool targeting the President of the United States of America and his supporters,” Pennsylvania GOP Chair Greg Rothman wrote to the Justice Department, according to a letter first shared with The Daily Wire. “The safety of President Trump, Republicans, and the integrity of our American republic rely on threats like District Attorney Krasner’s being investigated and, if appropriate, punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
The letter to Eastern District of Pennsylvania U.S. Attorney David Metcalf said that Krasner should be investigated for making a “potential criminal threat” against Trump during a March 25 <a href="https://www.cityandstatepa.com/personality/2025/03/q-philadelphia-district-attorney-larry-krasner/404028/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with City &amp; State Pennsylvania.
During that interview, Krasner compared Trump and his supporters to the Nazis. 
“Trump likes crime. Fascists like crime. Right-wing Republican MAGA people like crime and they like it because it gins up a crisis that doesn’t have to be, which allows them to scapegoat different groups of marginalized people so they can eliminate our rights. This is a very old playbook,” Krasner said, before adding that he knew a “hell of a lot” about World War II. 
“This is all stuff close to me, and I know exactly where we need to be with this one: loud, proud, standing up and in their faces,” he said. “These are fundamentally fascists, and it will not do us any good to try to appease them. They are bullies who need to be punched in the face as hard as possible, and that is the only way that all the people around us who are so frightened will understand they can stand up, too.”
Rothman wrote that those comments should be seen in the broader calls for violence against the Trump administration and Elon Musk and his efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). 
“Violent threats against President Trump, Republicans, Mr. Musk, DOGE staffers, and others have been rampant across the country recently. The clear intent of those doing so is to aid those intending to commit acts of violence,” Rothman wrote. 
The letter cited promises from interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin to investigate threats made toward Musk and members of DOGE, and urges Metcalf to take similar action. 
The last few months have seen a string of attacks targeting Tesla, including firebombings and acts of vandalism.

“Political violence is never the answer — not in our communities, not in our campaigns, and certainly not from those sworn to uphold the law,” the Pennsylvania GOP told The Daily Wire. “The words of District Attorney Larry Krasner weren’t just reckless, they were dangerous. When the top prosecutor in Philadelphia suggests that the President of the United States and his supporters should be ‘punched in the face,’ it’s not just political rhetoric, it’s a threat.”
While Krasner easily won his last two general elections in the deep blue city, he currently faces a primary challenge from Patrick Dugan, a former judge who is running on a law and order platform.

Soros DA’s Comments About Punching Trump Could Haunt Him In Re-Election Fight

Pennsylvania

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk mocked billionaire George Soros from a rally stage in Wisconsin on Sunday after leftist protesters attempted to disrupt his efforts to campaign for conservative Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel.
Musk declared that the Wisconsin Supreme Court race was about more than just who might serve on the court for the next decade — and could have a lasting impact on the balance of power in the United States House of Representatives.
As he spoke, however, protesters attempted to interrupt him — and he fired right back.

After pausing briefly to take in what the protesters were saying, Musk replied, &#8220;It was inevitable that at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience.&#8221;
The majority of the audience laughed and cheered as Musk waved at the protesters and smiled. &#8220;Give my regards to George,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Say hi to George for me.&#8221;
The crowd quickly broke out in chants of, &#8220;U.S.A.! U.S.A.!&#8221; — which Musk joined as well.
&#8220;I mean, it was inevitable,&#8221; Musk laughed as the chants died down. &#8220;I was waiting for that one.&#8221;
Wisconsin voters will decide on Tuesday whether to elect Schimel, currently a judge on the Waukesha County Circuit Court, or Dane County Circuit Court Judge Susan Crawford — and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-says-wisconsin-supreme-court-election-is-a-vote-for-which-party-controls-the-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Musk</a>, that election could ultimately impact the Republicans&#8217; very slim majority in the U.S. House.
&#8220;What’s happening on Tuesday is a vote for which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives. That is why it is so significant. And whichever party controls the House, to a significant degree controls the country, which then steers the course of Western Civilization,&#8221; Musk said.
The goal for Democrats, if they are able to elect Crawford, is to get the Supreme Court to order redrawn district maps that would allow them to map two typically Republican districts out of existence.
