26/ RALEIGH: Transito Ortiz-Escareno charged with a fatal 3am hit-and-run from June Transito Ortiz-Escareno has been cited at least 18 times in North Carolina for driving without a license or driving with a revoked license, a common violation by illegals thisweekinthetriangle.com/i/…

Latest update in the (probably) illegals thread Apparently you can be caught driving nearly 20 times without a valid license in North Carolina and still be on our roads to run someone over at 3:15 in the morning (there's a good chance the pedestrian was to blame, but it's still a felony to drive off)

Nigerian kings too

Is it even legal for a town in America to extend an opportunity only to citizens who identify with a particular sexuality, given the new rights invented by SCOTUS? If they held an art gallery and only invited straight while male artists, they'd be drowning in lawsuits

The NC legislature instituted a requirement for judicial officials to attempt to determine the citizenship or legal residency of detainees in our state's jails, the result of which is documented in the court record But even in a red county like Johnston, foreign suspect with no verifiable legal status who are accused of violent crimes and have a track record of driving without a license are still allowed back into the public

If you have three Hispanics in a singlewide in Johnston County, odds are decent that at least one of them is an illegal alien In this case, it's Camilo Nunez-Perez (a Mexican) who is facing an ICE detainer after being charged with shooting at the feet of an acquaintance with whom he was arguing in the kitchen of his own home Court documents identify Ezequiel Diaz and Arturo Gonzalez as the victims who were inside the occupied dwelling at the time the firearm was discharged

Latest update on the Thread of Local Criminal Suspects of Dubious Legal Status (from @TriangleTrumpet) An ICE detainer has been issued for Camilo Nunez-Perez, a resident of southern Johnston County

UNC has shut down an exchange program with a Chinese university after the Department of War flagged it as engaging in "problematic activity" Fudan University in Shanghai is reportedly linked to military microelectronics and technology theft, with a spinoff manufacturing partner previously having been added to a Department of Commerce list for: - "acquiring and attempting to acquire U.S.- origin items in support of China’s military modernization" - "participating in China’s advanced computing and integrated circuit manufacturing and distribution sectors" - "directly supplying the military, government, and security apparatus of China" - "suppl[ying] technology to Russian military end users" More at @TriangleTrumpet: thisweekinthetriangle.com/i/…

When asked about alleged poor conditions due to overcrowding in the Wake County jails, Sheriff Willie Rowe told WRAL that "[it's] not the desirable outcome, but it's better to have them there than out on the street committing crimes" Seems like he has a better head on his shoulders than most Democrats

1/ ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIME THREAD🧵 Here's a list of (presumably) illegal aliens I've covered so far in 2026 at the @TriangleTrumpet for crimes they are alleged to have committed in North Carolina, from fraud to murder to abducting and molesting goats (I plan to continue updating)
