Chicago horror homicide: 2 illegal aliens in custody.

Two migrant suspects in the U.S. illegally are in custody in relation to the death of a 63-year-old man whose body was found tied up at his home in Chicago late Sunday, the same day U.S. border czar Tom Homan and the Justice Department led a large immigration enforcement operation in that city, sources confirmed to Fox News.

Investigators found the man, George Levin, bound with duct tape near his face and mouth in his Norwood Park home, police sources said. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy that determined Levin died of multiple injuries related to assault and the death was ruled a homicide, a spokesperson said.

Multiple Chicago police sources tell Fox News the two suspects in custody are adult migrants, one from Venezuela and the other from Ecuador. A top U.S. official tells Fox News the migrants are believed to have crossed into the United States through the Texas border in the summer of 2023.

President Donald Trump is taking decisive action to protect Americans from the fentanyl crisis. Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45.

Today’s tariff announcement is necessary to hold China, Mexico, and Canada accountable for their promises to halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the United States.

➡️Here are the facts that you need to know:

President Trump is implementing a 25 percent tariff to be paid for by Mexican producers until Mexico cooperates with the U.S. in the fight against drugs.

Mexican cartels are the world’s leading traffickers of fentanyl, meth, and other drugs. These cartels have an alliance with the government of Mexico and endanger the national security and public health of the United States.

President Trump is implementing a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods and a 10 percent tariff on Canadian energy resources until Canada cooperates with the U.S. against drug traffickers and on border security.

There is growing production of fentanyl in Canada, and enough fentanyl was seized at the northern border last fiscal year to kill 9.8 million Americans.

Additionally, illegal border crossings from Canada reached historic new highs every year for the last four fiscal years.

President Trump is implementing a 10 percent tariff on China until we secure the full cooperation of the Chinese government in the fight against fentanyl. China plays the central role in the fentanyl crisis that is destroying American lives.

In fact, the Chinese Communist Party has subsidized Chinese chemical companies to export fentanyl. China not only fails to stem the source of illicit drugs but actively helps this business.

The Fake News is already lying about the impact of tariffs.

A 2024 study on the effects of President Trump’s tariffs during his first administration found that they “strengthened the U.S. economy” and “led to significant reshoring” in industries like manufacturing and steel production.

Even former Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen affirmed last year that tariffs do not harm consumers.

Governor Hochul’s plan to station officers on subways overnight is a positive step toward improving public safety. However, officers can’t combat crime alone. They need the support of politicians and legislators— not to be vilified and blamed by the media.

Enough with the empty rhetoric—action is needed now more than ever.

DEVELOPING! Firefighters battling fire at refinery in Martinez, California.

Crews from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District rushed to the Martinez Refining Company about 1:40 p.m., spokesperson Fire Prevention Capt. Ted Leach said. He added that it was unclear what they were facing, because crews initially struggled to make entry to the refinery.

The refining company in a statement confirmed the evacuations and said they had accounted for all of their employees.
