Orleans Parish Sheriff Arrested in Connection with Last Year’s Jailbreak of 10 Inmates

 Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson and the CFO were both indicted on charges in connection with last year’s jailbreak.

Last May, 10 dangerous inmates, including murderers, at the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility escaped.

Some bolts were removed from the outside of the jail wall, so investigators were looking into who was in the area at the time, leading up to the breach.

Ten inmates broke free from the prison: Antoine Massey, Lenton Venburen, Leo Tate, Kendell Myles, Derrick Groves, Jermaine Donald, Corey Boyd, Gary Price, Robert Moody, Dkenan Dennis, and Keith Lewis.

Footage from inside the prison shows inmates attempting to rip a door open before fleeing, reportedly through a hole hidden behind a toilet.

Law enforcement was able to finally apprehend all of the escapees.

Thirteen people were charged with helping the inmates escape.

Susan Hutson was indicted on 30 felony counts, including malfeasance in office, obstruction of justice and other charges.

CNN reported:

Almost a year after 10 Louisiana inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail, the Orleans Parish sheriff and the office’s chief financial officer were indicted by a special grand jury on charges of malfeasance and other crimes in relation to the jailbreak.

Ten prisoners housed in the Orleans Justice Center made their escape last spring, maneuvering out of a small hole in a wall and making their way out into the night. All 10 escapees were eventually recaptured, and 13 people were charged with helping the escapees, both inside jail and once they were at large.

Susan Hutson, the current Orleans Sheriff, was indicted on 30 felony charges, including malfeasance in office, filing or maintaining false public records, and obstruction of justice, among other charges, the attorney general’s office said in a release Wednesday.

Bianka Brown, the chief financial officer for the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office, was also indicted on 20 similar felony charges of malfeasance in office, filing or maintaining false public records, and obstruction of justice, according to the attorney general’s office.

Trump DOJ, ATF Unleash Massive Second Amendment Overhaul — 34 New Reforms Slash Red Tape for Gun Owners, Dealers and Small Businesses

In a HUGE victory for the Second Amendment and law-abiding Americans everywhere, the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives announced this week they are unleashing 34 notices of final and proposed rulemaking to slash the mountain of Biden-era red tape strangling gun owners and Federal Firearms Licensees.

The move follows a top-to-bottom review of ATF regulations ordered by President Trump’s Executive Order 14206, “Protecting Second Amendment Rights.”

After years of the Biden ATF acting as an unaccountable attack dog against honest gun shops and citizens, the agency is finally being forced to listen to industry experts, FFLs, and everyday Americans who just want to exercise their God-given constitutional rights without the federal government breathing down their necks.

This is the first wave of reforms. More are coming. The Trump administration is keeping its promise to dismantle the deep-state gun-control apparatus piece by piece.

“The Second Amendment is not a second-class right,” said U.S. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “This Department of Justice is ending the weaponization of federal authority against law-abiding gun owners. We will continue to vigorously defend their rights as the Constitution demands.”

Below are the summary of the 34 proposed and final regulatory changes affecting firearms, explosives, importation, federal firearms licensees (FFLs), and ATF procedures.

  1. Modernize
    Updating recordkeeping and business practices, such as:
  • Electronic records for gun dealers
  • Changes to Form 4473
  • Defined retention periods for records
  • License verification updates
  1. Reduce Burden
    Removing or simplifying requirements seen as costly or unnecessary for lawful gun owners and businesses, such as:
  • Interstate transport procedures
  • Spousal registration for NFA firearms
  • Removing some notification requirements
  1. Clarify
    Providing clearer definitions and standards, including:
  • Straw purchase language
  • Mental health-related prohibitions
  • Biological sex designation on ATF forms
  • Business premises definitions
  1. Align
    Updating regulations to match court rulings, statutes, and partner agencies.
  2. Repeal
    Rescinding prior controversial rules, including:
  • 2023 Stabilizing Brace Rule
  • 2024 Engaged-in-the-Business Rule
  • Revising machine gun definitions after Garland v. Cargill

Liberals Losing Their Minds After California City Names Portion of ‘All American Way’ in Honor of Charlie Kirk

 Street signs for Charlie Kirk Way and All American Way with protest signs advocating for political change and voter participation.

The left is losing its collective mind after the California city of Westminster redesignated a portion of its “All American Way” in honor of the late Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk.

Earlier this week, the city installed new bright green street signs redesignating the road leading to City Hall as “Charlie Kirk Way.”

The road renaming was approved by the Westminster City Council in a 4-1 vote last November.

However, the installation of the signs triggered a fresh wave of outrage from local liberals.

ABC7 spoke to liberal residents about the signs:

“I thought it was a joke,” said Ann Galvan from Garden Grove.

“I think that’s so hateful,” said Ashley Lawrence from Los Angeles.

“Are you effing kidding me? Sorry, that was my gut reaction,” said Westminster resident Terry Rains.

Rains organized a protest back in December in an effort to stop what she says is causing division in her community.

“That street is called All American Way. That is inclusive. That welcomes everyone into our Civic Center,” Rains said. “These are all public buildings, and so tainting the name just completely denigrates the entire… what that stands for.”

Terry Rains was so upset that she held a protest against it in December.

“That street is called All American Way. That is inclusive. That welcomes everyone into our Civic Center,” Rains told the station. “These are all public buildings, and so tainting the name just completely denigrates the entire… what that stands for.”

The outraged liberals even launched a Change.org petition demanding the council reverse the decision.

Westminster Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen, a Republican who fled communism in Vietnam as a child, proposed renaming the street himself.

Nguyen said the move is a celebration of free speech and patriotism.

“By doing this, we promote the freedom, the freedom of speech, freedom for everyone to engage in open communication here in the city of Westminster,” Nguyen told the station.

Kirk, 31, was assassinated on September 10 while speaking at a “Prove Me Wrong” event at Utah Valley University.

The mayor added, “I myself am very inspired by what Charlie Kirk has been doing for the country, what he’s been doing to the younger people, for the next generation.”

“You can’t please everyone,” Nguyen said.

CRAZY VIDEO: Florida Democrat Rep. Angie Nixon STORMS HOUSE AISLE with Pink Bullhorn Screaming ‘Violation of the Constitution!’ as DeSantis’ Redistricting Map Passes

 Activist speaking into a pink megaphone during a legislative session, advocating for change in a government building.

Florida Democrat State Rep. Angie Nixon went completely unhinged on the House floor Wednesday, grabbing a bright pink bullhorn and storming up and down the aisle while screaming about the “Constitution” as Republicans passed Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new congressional redistricting map.

The map, which could deliver Republicans up to four additional House seats in the 2026 midterms, passed through the Florida House on an 83-28 party-line vote and the Senate on a 21-17 vote before heading to DeSantis for his signature.

Nixon, dressed in a hot-pink outfit and gripping a matching bullhorn, repeatedly yelled, “This is a violation of the Constitution!” as the vote proceeded.

The politician created enough chaos that two Democrats, Reps. Allison Tant and Marie Woodson, hilariously cast accidental “yes” votes, and later blamed the “commotion” and “bullhorn chaos” for the mix-up, according to a report from Florida Politics.

“I inadvertently voted yes because of the commotion with the bullhorn on the floor; I thought it was a quorum call. I debated against the bill and would not have voted yes,” Woodson said in a statement published to the state’s House website.

Their accidental votes have since been changed.

WATCH:

The bill still passed overwhelmingly, with only one Republican, former Democrat Rep. Hilary Cassel, voting against it.

No Democrats voted in favor of the proposal.

DeSantis’ map is a major win for Republicans.

It redraws the state’s 28 congressional districts to reflect the Sunshine State’s continued shift to the right.

The changes target four Democrat-held seats, potentially moving Florida from a 20 Republican-8 Democrat delegation to as strong as a 24 Republican-4 Democrat delegation.

Democrats and left-wing activists are already crying “gerrymandering” and promising lawsuits, claiming the map violates Florida’s Fair Districts amendments.

Nixon called it an “illegal mid-decade power grab” and a “slap in the face” to voters, claiming Republicans were only doing it to help President Donald Trump.

Perhaps someone should show her what her own party just did in Virginia.

Florida Republicans, meanwhile, pointed out that the map simply reflects the reality that Florida has become one of the most reliably red states in the country, thanks to strong conservative governance, economic growth, and an influx of voters fleeing blue states.

This isn’t the obnoxious politician’s first floor stunt.

Nixon, who is also running for U.S. Senate, participated in a sit-in protest during the 2022 redistricting battle.
