The Cuellar case is a demonstration of how entrenched political dynasties in South Texas use power, money, and institutions to insulate themselves from accountability. 

Congressman Henry Cuellar, indicted in 2024 for taking more than $600,000 in bribes from a Mexican bank and Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company, is at the center of it. 

But the pattern stretches across his family, his campaign, and the very elections that kept him in office.

Federal prosecutors have made clear that Cuellar and his wife profited directly from years of backroom arrangements that advanced foreign interests. 

Imelda Cuellar pocketed over $100,000 in consulting fees tied to the same entities listed in the indictment. 

At the same time, campaign filings show that the Cuellars benefited from ActBlue, a Democrat fundraising platform now under multiple investigations for foreign interference and donor fraud. In one cycle alone, 

Cuellar’s campaign took in more than $110,000 through the platform. Congressional investigators later revealed that ActBlue weakened its fraud-prevention systems during the 2024 election, accepting donations from foreign IP addresses, prepaid credit cards, and networks traced to countries such as Brazil and Saudi Arabia. 

A total of 1,900 suspicious transactions were flagged, including 237 that directly connected to foreign servers.

Meanwhile, Cuellar’s reelection in 2024 raised even more questions. 

Republican challenger Jay Furman submitted over 80 sworn affidavits from voters who claimed his name was missing from their ballots.

Despite a court order mandating a forensic review, County Judge Tano Tijerina refused to comply. 

Months later, Tijerina announced his own campaign for Congress, attempting to enter the very race he had shielded from scrutiny. 

For voters in South Texas, it appeared as though court orders could be ignored and electoral oversight could be manipulated by those with the right political connections.

The misuse of institutions was not limited to elections. Cuellar’s siblings also benefited from the family’s reach. 

Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar turned his office into an extension of the campaign, ordering deputies to spend county time and resources on fundraising, voter outreach, and logistical support for his brother’s reelection efforts. 

Public safety was compromised so that a political dynasty could maintain its hold on power. Rosie Cuellar, another sibling, was awarded a municipal judgeship in 2022 in a town that had no courthouse, no calendar, and no cases. 

She never presided over a single hearing, but taxpayers still funded her salary. The position existed only on paper, another example of public funds being converted into family income.

Through it all, Henry Cuellar remained on the ballot and won by five points in a district Donald Trump carried by seven. 

The swing was extraordinary, but Democrats and most media outlets dismissed concerns about voter integrity. Only outlets willing to publish voter affidavits and court records raised alarms.

The Cuellars have controlled politics in South Texas since 1987, and every level of government reflects that dominance. 

Law enforcement was diverted, judgeships were handed out as rewards, campaigns were financed with suspicious donations, and courts were ignored. 

What should concern Americans is that none of this stopped Cuellar from staying in power. 

Until legal barriers that shield entrenched families are removed, corruption will not just be tolerated—it will define the system.

An ICE agent saved a baby’s life in a TSA line at New York’s JFK Airport on Wednesday.

The Democrats have repeatedly voted to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security and TSA.

Major airports across the US are experiencing delays due to TSA staffing issues.

President Trump deployed ICE agents to airports across the country to help travelers swiftly get through security lines after Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

One of the ICE agents deployed to JFK saved a baby’s life.

An infant was unresponsive and wasn’t breathing when an ICE agent jumped into action and performed the Heimlich maneuver on the baby.

“DHS tells Fox News that an ICE agent saved the life of a 1-year-old boy who had gone unresponsive and wasn’t breathing while waiting in a TSA line at JFK airport yesterday.

Full statement from the DHS:

At JFK Airport, as travelers waited in hours-long lines, an infant became unresponsive and stopped breathing. The panic of the child’s family and nearby passengers were heard by an ICE agent stationed at a checkpoint.

This heroic officer immediately sprang into action—rushing toward the cries, taking the child, and performing a Heimlich maneuver that restored the infant’s breathing after nearly two minutes.

This officer’s extraordinary bravery embodies the selfless service of DHS law enforcement.

Video released by the DHS shows the agent running to help the baby.

‘The Era of Deportations Has Begun’: EU Parliament Approves Member Countries Setting up Return Hubs Outside the EU To Send Failed ‘Asylum Seekers’

What was once a ‘far-right’ idea is now a common-sense policy for Europe.

First, it was Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with her Albania plan, followed by former British PM Rishi Sunak with his ‘Rwanda plan’ – both blocked by activist judges because of the insane EU asylum legislation.

But today (26), after years of constant growth of right-wing parties across the old continent, things are changing for real, as European lawmakers voted to authorize the setting up of migrant detention centers outside the European Union, known as ‘return hubs’.

Associated Press reported:

“Members of the European Parliament voted 389-206 in favor, with 32 abstentions. Right-wing parties made an alliance with far-right groups that they had previously shunned to pass the measure, while parties of the left and center voted against.

Any EU nation can now negotiate on its own or in small coalitions to deport migrants not to their home countries but to facilities yet to be built outside the 27-nation bloc.”

“Already, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Denmark have entered into negotiations with governments mainly in Africa to host sites to hold migrants denied asylum.

[…] Charlie Weimers, a lawmaker from the right-wing Sweden Democrats: ‘There is a new consensus in Europe. The era of deportations has begun’, he said in a social media post.”

Euronews reported:

“The law will also increase the legal detention period to up to two years and impose practically unlimited entry bans in the EU on the returned people.

The final version of the law will now be discussed between the Parliament and EU member states. The negotiation is expected to be smooth, as there are no substantial differences between the two texts.

Both MEPs and EU countries want to include in the deportations to third countries families with children, excluding from the provision only the unaccompanied minors.”

The US and Russia are rebuilding ties.

On the one hand, the US supports Ukraine against Russia in their 4-year war, while Russia supports Iran against the US in their recent military confrontation.

But on the other hand, the United States and the Russian Federation have been engaged in a difficult but potentially rewarding détente.

Reuters reported:

“A delegation of Russian lawmakers has arrived in the United States for meetings with U.S. lawmakers, Russian media said, on the ​first such trip since relations between the world’s two biggest ‌nuclear powers hit rock bottom over the war in Ukraine.”

After the start of the war in Ukraine, US-Russian relations deteriorated to the worst level in history, but after the return of Donald J. Trump, the ties have improved considerably.

“The ⁠lawmakers’ visit to the United States, first reported by Russia’s Vedomosti ​newspaper, includes Vyacheslav Nikonov, a lawmaker who is the grandson of Josef ​Stalin’s foreign minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, according to Russian media reports.”

The Russian lawmakers met US lawmakers today and are expected to meet US officials tomorrow.

“The visit is ‘part of ​the normalization of relations with the United States of America’, Alexei Chepa, first deputy ‌chairman ⁠of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, told Izvestia.”
