🚨 CASE UPDATE—VERDICT REACHED: We're horrified and devastated to report this wrongfully charged officer has been convicted.

Brad Lunsford of the Las Cruces, NM police department was forced to use deadly force when Presley Eze violently resisted arrest, attempted to disarm another officer of his firearm, and grabbed that officer's taser while he was on top of him in a violent struggle.

For this lawful use of force, officer Lunsford was charged with voluntary manslaughter. The charges should never have been brought, but New Mexico’s Attorney General, Raúl Torrez, clearly wanted to build up his anti-police bona fides.

Torrez’ statement gloating about this wrongful conviction proves it.

The LELDF supports law enforcement officers around the country who have been wrongfully charged with crimes related to their duties. The vast majority of these cases end in NOT GUILTY jury verdicts.

Mr. Torrez surely wants to maintain ties with his benefactor, George Soros. Over the past decade, billionaire George Soros has spent more than $50 million to elect radical prosecutors across the country—and he funneled over $100,000 to a PAC supporting Torrez’ first campaign for district attorney.

Part of Soros’ “playbook” for DA’s is to charge police officers even if they haven’t committed a crime, but to defer real criminals from prosecution whenever possible.

We must stop these radical prosecutors—and end the war on cops.

We will continue to stand with officer Lunsford as his legal team explores appeal options.

NEW: ICE Boston has arrested a Turkish illegal alien in the sanctuary city of Somerville, MA after he was charged with assault & battery of an intellectually disabled person & witness intimidation. He had been released into the community by the Somerville District Court, which ICE says ignored their detainer request.

ICE statement:

“This is a tragic example of what can go wrong when local jurisdictions refuse to honor immigration detainers,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “The local jurisdiction ignored our detainer and released Berkan Karamurtlu into the community. Unfortunately, he re-offended resulting in a second arrest for assaulting an intellectually disabled resident."

I’ve covered a lot of illegal immigration related stories around the country in recent years.

Massachusetts is the only state that frequently releases illegal aliens charged w/ aggravated child rape & refuses to cooperate w/ ICE on detainer requests for them. Even in other sanctuary states & cities, I almost never see a lack of cooperation for child rape.

In this case, a Guatemalan charged with 3x forcible child rape & 3x aggravated child rape was released on bail by Essex County, MA, with ICE Boston saying their detainer request was ignored & they were not notified of his release.

During one of my embeds with ICE Boston last year, they arrested four illegal aliens charged w/ child rape in a single morning. All of them had been released by local jurisdictions with ICE detainers ignored.

I asked a MA law enforcement source how this keeps happening there? And how does someone charged with so many counts of forcible & aggravated child rape even get bail in the first place?

“Welcome to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,” is the response I got.

The scumbag who ambushed officer Jason Roscow was convicted in 2019 for carrying a concealed weapon and had an active bench warrant out for his arrest.

GET THIS: He pleaded no contest to the gun charge, so a judge sentenced him to a suspended six-month jail sentence (meaning he’d only go to jail if he faced a new charge).

BREAKING: The Senate Judiciary Committee has advanced Kash Patel out of committee. He is now headed for a final, full Senate confirmation vote to become the next Director of the FBI.
