The Fallout From Corruption: How Did a Florida Mayor Defraud Thousands With a COVID-19 Program?
There’s nothing that bothers me more than when a person is elected to a position of power, but then chooses to abuse that power instead of actually doing something good with it. And that’s the case with Kissimmee, Fla., Mayor Jackie Espinosa, who has reportedly defrauded a large number of people with, of all things, a COVID-19 scheme.
The tenure of Chief Robert J. Tracy shows that one person truly can make a difference
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. If you ever think one person can’t make a difference in this world, think again. With the right amount of drive, dedication and confidence, there’s literally nothing that a person with a good heart and mind can’t accomplish. We’ve seen it so many times in the past, with officers rising to the challenge to keep others safe. And, as expected, many are promptly rewarded for it, with a Medal of Honor and, of course, a promotion.
The Situation With Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Her Husband Just Took a Dangerous New Turn Into Fraud
By now you’ve probably got an idea of what’s going on with the investigation against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. She’s been accused of fraudulently increasing finances for businesses owned by her husband, only to tell everyone that it was merely an oversight. Then there was the discussion surrounding a purportedly fraudulent marriage, which she reportedly put in place to keep her brother in the United States.
Are We Really That Surprised About the Raid on Ilhan Omar’s Home?
U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar is hiding something. And we definitely need to find out what it is, considering her suspicious actions. As you may have heard, Omar’s home was raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security agents earlier this week, authorized by the court. This was part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation surrounding her immigration paperwork, in which it’s rumored that she was “married” to her brother to allow him into the country.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani Has Once Again Turned His Back On Law Enforcement To Grandstand For a Dangerous Illegal Immigrant
by yourNEWS | Oct 10, 2026 By Michael Letts The law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder discusses the latest actions by the controversial Mayor – and why they may come back to haunt him. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is no stranger to showing his disdain for police, particularly the New York Police Department. He’s been a supporter of the dreaded Defund the Police campaign in the past, though he’s backed down from that stance (only slightly) after his appointing of Mayor.
The FBI Stopped a Major Terror Plot, and It’s Scary What This 18-Year-Old Reportedly Had Planned
I know there are a lot of people out there who are unhappy with the way things are going in the United States right now. Even though President Donald Trump is making changes for the better, there are some folks who are just unwilling to accept that. And, sadly, that includes people who plan to do others harm in an effort to make their voice heard.
ICE isn’t backing down from sanctuary cities – and definitely shouldn’t
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. The law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder explains why the Trump Administration has had enough of cities that try to protect violent illegal immigrants instead of its own citizens. I’ve said it for the longest time – administrations that deem their cities as “sanctuary cities” are creating problems.
Mayor Kaohly Her Has Gone Too Far Harassing Her Police Chief, and It’s Time for Her To Resign
When you hold any kind of legal office, it is your duty to make sure you live up to it responsibly – and that means performing as the said job asks you to do. That could be the case for any given government-based job, including police, executive officers, or especially a higher-up office for a small town. For instance, Mayor Kaohly Her has caused trouble in the past for her small town of St. Paul, Minn., since becoming mayor.
Seattle’s Mayor Would Rather Hire Private Security to Prevent Crime Than Help Her Police Force
Once again, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson just doesn’t “get it” when it comes to giving law enforcement the traditional funding it needs – and deserves, for that matter. She’s still seeing a lot of fallout from the controversial dismissal of Police Chief Shon Barnes, and no doubt she’s getting pressure from all sides with the increase in criminal activity within the city itself.
Zohran Mamdani Is Suddenly Walking Back His Comments Surrounding Protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s Visit To New York – And It’s Curious
by yourNEWS | Sep 21, 2026 By Michael Letts – The law enforcement vetera -n and InVest USA founder discusses the sudden turn events for the controversial mayor – and what could’ve driven them. It’s funny how someone can change around an opinion when they see that disaster could be on the horizon. Let’s talk about New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He’s obviously no stranger to controversy, especially when it comes to anything surrounding his own New York Police Department.
Charlie Kirk’s Family Upset Over the ‘Stunning Failures’ of Utah Valley University’s Security — and Rightfully So
Charlie Kirk speaking with attendees at the 2021 AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, December 2021. (Photo: Gage Skidmore) It always upsets me to see a tragedy take place when it could have been avoided by taking precautions — any sort of precautions, for that matter. And it still boggles my mind that someone was able to shoot Charlie Kirk on a university campus, ending his life at the young age of 31.
Ilhan Omar Has Been Cleared of Misconduct Accusations, but Something Doesn’t Add Up
Sometimes things just don’t make sense. Especially when someone like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is concerned. She’s been a controversial figure in the past, especially when it came to her “Somalia first” statements that she’s made – something that doesn’t reflect well on someone of her stature. But it’s her most recent case surrounding a mysterious increase in funds that I feel needs a bit more attention – especially considering the result.
9/11 family members and first responders have made it clear – they don’t want Mayor Mamdani at this week’s memorial service
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. The law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder explains why there’s such disdain for the Mayor, and why he’s not welcome at the ceremony. The anniversary of 9/11 is just about upon us, and it’s a day for us to reflect on the lives that were lost in that horrific event in New York City. The first responders, the officers, the innocent people…there were so many lives needlessly lost.
Trump Is Looking to Make Sanctuary Cities Pay the Price for Protecting Violent Immigrants
I’ve talked about the hindrance of sanctuary cities in the past, and for good reason. Sanctuary cities are the biggest protective barrier against the deportation of violent illegal immigrants in this country. In effect, they limit cooperation with local police and city workers and restrict resources for federal agents trying to arrest such criminals. Now, of course, these leaders who run such cities will say that such policies help build trust between local police and immigrant communities.
A Startling Report Just Revealed Millions of Driver’s Licenses Were ‘For Sale’ on the Dark Web
It’s scary how easily certain information about you and your family can be found on the “dark web.” What’s worse is how quickly that information can potentially be used against you—for illicit charges, spam emails, identity theft, and who knows what else. A new report revealed that a site on the dark web known as Nexus was recently offering citizens’ driver’s licenses for purchase, with more than 150 million records reportedly available. 150 million. That’s absolutely terrifying.
Pennsylvania Retired Officers Waited Decades for a COLA. What Does That Say About Today’s Police?
I remember reading a while back about the city of Harrisburg finally righting a wrong for its retired police officers, after failing to provide them with a proper cost-of-living increase (COLA for short) for – get this – over two decades. That’s right, the last COLA they received was back in 2002. “In the meantime, prices have risen over 70 percent. This is no way to honor our police officers and firefighters for their service,” Rep. Steven Malagari (alongside Rep. Sean Dougherty) said in a memo.
Minnesota Just Got Handed a Loss Following Its Absurd Request Over ICE Agent Christian Castro
Minnesota has been fighting for the longest time to override Texas's laws surrounding the incarceration of ICE agent Christian Castro. But a judge just reminded it that all the requests in the world from Gov. Tim Walz will fall on deaf ears when they don’t make any sense. As you know by this point, Minnesota has been showing absolute fury against ICE agents.
Cocaine college: The disheartening story of a busted cocaine ring being run out of Penn State
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. The law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder discusses a recent bust that resulted in the arrest of more than a dozen individuals. When you think of students entering college for the first time, what do you usually think of? You usually think of a key opportunity for young minds to be shaped for the future.
Why Is the San Diego Sheriff Barring ICE From Local Facilities? ‘Community Concerns’?
When it comes to law enforcement, I firmly believe that local police officers and national agencies are working towards the same common goal – law and order. Making sure that people are equally treated before the law. Going after criminals that are easily breaking said law and possibly hurting others. But the millisecond you create divide over that common goal – and for the sake of politics, no doubt – you introduce trouble.
How Mamdani and Hochul Are Making New York's Immigrant Problem Worse
Original Article Posted By: Mercedes44, 8/17/2026 6:24:37 PM I know a lot of police officers who have been through quite a bit over the past few years, whether because of the "defund the police" campaign, or poor leadership refusing to provide them with the proper funding they need to expand and properly do their jobs. But there's no one going through it worse right now than the New York Police Department.
How Mamdani and Hochul Are Making New York’s Immigrant Problem Worse
I know a lot of police officers who have been through quite a bit over the past few years, whether because of the “defund the police” campaign, or poor leadership refusing to provide them with the proper funding they need to expand and properly do their jobs. But there’s no one going through it worse right now than the New York Police Department. Their burden actually began a while back, with thousands being fired alongside public workers for refusing to be vaccinated for COVID-19.
One Year Later, Washington, D.C. Is a Safer Place Thanks to the National Guard
Original Article Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/14/2026 1:58:09 AM Some leaders don't want change. Some leaders believe that "their way" is the one that works, and that bringing in some outside force to dispense justice will throw a monkey wrench in the grand scheme of things. We've already seen it with ICE deployment in cities like Chicago and Minnesota, with leaders questioning the motives of agents who are trying to remove hostile illegal immigrants - and, might I add, being highly effective at it.

Zohran Mamdani May Not Be Able To Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, But He Just Created a Nightmare Scenario For His Visit
by yourNEWS | Aug 9, 2026 By Michael Letts The law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder discusses why Mamdani’s words are setting the stage for chaos – which NYPD officers will have to deal with. It was just a couple of weeks ago when New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani went onto his social media accounts and openly threatened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with arrest during his visit to the U.N. General Assembly in September.
Two More Cases Show How Dangerous Illegal Immigrants Can Be in the U.S. and Why ICE Does Its Job
It seems like every day I still see social media posts where people insist that “ICE is the problem.” The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents out there are continuing to do a solid job of rounding up dangerous illegal immigrants who made their way into the United States, and their track record is easy to see. But that isn’t stopping thousands from insisting that they’re the “Gestapo,” and merely doing “Donald Trump’s dirty work” in removing people they feel aren’t doing any harm.
There’s a Real Problem in Seattle, and With Its Clueless Mayor, It’s Hard to See Resolution
There’s been a real mess brewing in the city of Seattle, and things have just about reached a fever pitch. Criminal activity has reached an all-time high within the city, thanks to an inept Mayor, Katie Wilson, who can’t seem to figure out how to benefit her police department more. But then came a terrifying act – a mass shooting during the Bite of Seattle food event – on Sunday evening that has managed to leave three dead and a toddler wounded.
Tampa’s Police Department Just Found an Ingenious Way To Bring In New Recruits – and Other Departments Should Give This Plan Consideration
by yourNEWS | Jul 27, 2026 By Michael Letts The law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder discusses a new program that could help new police officers find a better route to a future. Over the past few years, we’ve seen thousands of police officers leave their post.
The Department of Justice Is Suing These Sanctuary Cities and States – And the Excuses They’re Providing Don’t Make Sense
These days, social media is having a field day trying to portray President Donald Trump and ICE agents as villains, where as illegal immigrants should be protected. But the truth of the matter is that these immigrant criminals are creating far worse harm than anyone could ever realize, harming American citizens to the point of assault – or even murder.
Canadian Woman Violently Expressed Opinion On Donald Trump and ICE – and Now She’s Being Deported
I will never understand why some people need to go to absolute extremes to express their opinion against someone. We’ve seen it countless times, from protests against ICE to full-on brawls between political parties in a number of locations. I’m not even sure where the blame can fall anymore, though social media definitely takes a big part of that. It’s just so easy to influence someone into “rage mode” these days.
The Passing of Lindsey Graham Is Painful, Especially When You Recall What He Did for Law Enforcement
A huge loss occurred this weekend when Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) passed away from a “brief and sudden illness” at the age of 71. Many have already spoken out about this unexpected passing, with many passing along condolences and – surprise – some making jokes about his demise. But there’s no joke when it comes to Graham’s determined devotion to law enforcement.
These YouTubers Helped Bring Down a $65 Million Multinational Fraud Ring – And We Should Commend Them
I hate scammers. I absolutely do. You’ve probably seen them trying to take action against those who don’t know any better. Conniving types both here in the U.S. and overseas (mainly in India) are using personal information to try to scam older citizens out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And they’re still at it, sending fake emails and placing phone calls in the hopes of snagging one more victim. But guess who’s doing something about it. You won’t believe this. YouTubers.
Operation New Dawn Success Due To Agencies Working Together
ICE and police deploy at 2025 Los Angeles ICE riots (Photo: ICE.gov) I hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July. It’s a fundamental celebration of America, and one that truly brings together friends and family to be thankful what we have been given. And with that, I want pesky Democrats to pay attention to something.
New York police officers are about to be worked to extremes – and Zohran Mamdani is to blame
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. The law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder discusses why many NYPD officers are in for a rough summer – without the Mayor to back them up. Upon election into office in New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani insisted he wasn’t against the police.
The Growing Danger of Human Smuggling
At one point in time, the huge concern about smugglers is how they were bringing drugs and guns into our country. But now there’s a much bigger one, with people becoming the bartering chips. Two cases surrounded human smuggling have emerged as of late, and that has resulted in agencies getting more involved in trying to stop them before more lives are lost. The first involves a so-called “stash house” that was actually located in Laredo, Texas.
There Was a 'Mass Casualty' Event Planned for the Recent UFC Event at the White House-and It Was Worse Than You Might Expect
Original Article Posted By: FlyRight, 6/27/2026 6:36:05 PM While there are certainly a number of heinous acts that have taken place over the years that have resulted in a number of casualties, we often hear about other "activities" that were planned by dangerous types, which could have been far more catastrophic. That includes a planned "event" that five individuals were planning to unleash during the recent UFC Freedom 250 event that took place at the White House earlier this month.

Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. The law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder discusses a new strategy by the Ocala Police Department and explains why others should take notice.
Tren de Aragua’s Merciless Kingpin Is Finally Dead, but There’s More Work to Do
There’s something to be said about true progress in a mission. Knowing that you’ve made enough accomplishments that a dent has been left, but there’s still work to be done. Still, I find more than enough reason to celebrate with the death of a much-feared leader of the Tren de Aragua gang.
This Florida town’s police department effectively took down a teen takeover event before it could even build steam — with a highly effective team
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. The law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder discusses a growing trend in the U.S. this summer, and how one team stopped them from “turning up” and “taking over.” Rowdy and out-of-control teenagers think they can take over spots in the U.S. with ease this summer – but the police are ready to fight back.
When you’re a judge and there’s a conflict of interest, it can pose a huge problem — especially with a controversial decision
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. Law enforcement veteran and InVest USA founder Michael Letts discusses the case with Judge Christopher Cooper – and why it needs a closer look. When you work in law enforcement, you cannot let personal feelings affect you on the job. You can’t.
When ‘Defund the Police’ Backfires: Seattle Residents Erect Barriers Against Rampant Gang Violence
For the longest time, Seattle has held a terrible grudge against police. It all started back in 2020, when the whole “defund the police” campaign was in full swing following the death of George Floyd. The Seattle City Council acted quickly, slashing the police budget by a whopping 20%. This, in turn, led to less support for our officers, resulting in hundreds of officer resignations. And where has that gotten them? Nowhere…fast.
The Latest Attack On the White House Shows Just How Disturbed Some Individuals Are
It’s one thing to have personal feelings against President Donald Trump. It’s another to think that, actively in your head, you believe you have the motivation to try and hurt him, let alone a member of his family or his Trump administration. And yet, we’ve heard about such disturbed individuals who try and charge forward with their mission, without logic entering in their heads within the least. The latest individual to attempt this is 21-year old Nasire Best.
The Senior Assassin Game Played By High School Teens Can Lead To a World of Trouble With the Police
With Memorial Day weekend finally upon us, many kids out there will find a way to kick back and relax with the added extra day off. But one thing they should probably hold off against is partaking in a game called “Senior Assassin.” Fox News recently discussed the seriousness of this game, which starts as an innocent water fight but could become something much worse. The game essentially “involves stalking and eliminating one another in water gun fights on their school campuses.
Justice Finally Comes For Raúl Castro, and Not a Moment Too Soon
President Donald Trump isn’t messing around when it comes to law and order. Not only is he actively pursuing illegal immigrants within the United States with help from thousands of ICE officers, but he’s also pursuing long-overdue charges on those who have hurt American citizens.
How In the World Did an Agent of China Become the Mayor of a Southern California City?
You just don’t know about people anymore. One minute you’re fraternizing with neighbors and co-workers and living a day to day life. The next you find out a secret about someone close to you that’s so devastating, you wonder how in the world you let them into your life to begin with. That’s not to say you should live suspiciously by any means, but you should certainly be aware. Because you never know when someone could turn out to be someone you never thought they’d be.
This Georgia Town Shut Down a Mayor’s Personal Grudge Against the Police Force
If there is one pivotal lesson when it comes to your job, it’s to never let your personal feelings take over. Ever. You may feel a certain way about people, religion, or even the company itself you’re working for. But the millisecond you let that creep into your work performance over the duties you’re sworn to follow, it shows. Believe me, it shows. You can have all the opinions in the world, but at the end of the day, you need to do your job and not let personal feelings take over.
With a new trial beginning this week, we’ll finally get answers about the ‘secret’ Chinese police station in New York
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. The law enforcement veteran of InVest USA discusses a trial that could divulge information on just how bad “spygate” is getting in the United States. For years, there has been a great deal of concern about potential “spygate” by the Chinese, with reported covert operations to “keep an eye” on American citizens.
Los Angeles PD’s Police Chief Just Warned That Security Isn’t Good Enough For the 2028 Olympics – and the City Should Listen
I’ve seen local governments cut the cost on police services in the past, namely after the horrifying effects of the “defund the police” campaign that took shape years ago. But in this particular case, the city just needs to shut up and pay up because it’s of vital importance. I’m talking about a recent article in Fox News, in which Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell recently spoke during a City Council Budget and Finance Committee meeting.
The arrest of former FBI Director James Comey shows just how seriously social media can make an impact
Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. The law enforcement veteran and inVest USA founder discusses the arrest, and why a simple social media post is being taken so seriously. Former FBI Director James Comey likely thought he was being “cute” with his social media post on Instagram in 2025 – but he probably doesn’t think it’s “cute” now, what with his recent indictment and arrest.
There Was Another Shooter Incident Surrounding Donald Trump, but This Time, They Were More Than Ready
It’s hard to believe that it’s been just under two years since the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. What’s even harder to believe, however, was just how badly the Secret Service had failed at the time, resulting in the resignation of then Director Kimberly Cheatle, who couldn’t even answer basic questions surrounding the incident. It left many wondering about the state of the Secret Service.
