Media Miss by the left: Texas immigrant accused of using TikTok to encourage killing of ICE agents
An undocumented immigrant from Mexico living in Texas is facing federal charges after the Justice Department (DOJ) said he offered cash bounties for the killing of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on TikTok.
Officials say Eduardo Aguilar, 23, posted videos offering $10,000 per agent and was arrested with a loaded gun. Aguilar, who has a prior criminal record in the U.S., now faces up to five years in prison.

Media Miss by the right: Rubio gave Bukele MS-13 informants in exchange for El Salvador prison access
According to The Washington Post, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stuck a deal with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele that involved deporting nine MS-13 gang leaders – including several who were U.S. informants – to the country’s notorious CECOT prison.
The report says Rubio asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to terminate those informants’ cooperation agreements with the DOJ.
That same arrangement later enabled the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador in March.
Critics warn the move could jeopardize U.S. intelligence operations against one of the world’s deadliest gangs.
