The chief of the nation's Federal Bureau of Investigation warns criminals and wannabes that "swatting" "will not be tolerated."
Swatting is when someone calls police with a fake report that there's some sort of violence crime occurring at a specific address.
Police department SWAT teams show up, expecting to confront violent criminals. But in swatting cases, they find only innocent people who are unaware their addresses have been targeted by the criminals.
Kash Patel, FBI chief, said, "I want to address the alarming rise in 'Swatting' incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable. This isn't about politics—weaponizing law enforcement against ANY American is not only morally reprehensible but also endangers lives, including those of our officers. That will not be tolerated. We are fully committed to working with local law enforcement to crack down on these crimes. More updates to come."
The comments follow a long list of swatting attacks in recent days, including on conservative personalities Gunther Eaglement, Nick Soretor and Shawn Farash.
And it's just a week after Infowars journalist Jamie White was brutally murdered in Austin.
According to a report in Newsweek, radio show host Joe Pagliarulo and Infowars' Chase Geiser also have been targeted.
Eagle said on social media someone called in a "fake hostage situation," and Geiser shared on X he had been swatted for the second time in 12 hours.
And Catturd, a popular pro-Trump social media account with more than 3.4 million X followers, wrote Friday morning that he was "swatted again for the fourth time" at his home, reported the Gateway Pundit.
The Pundit also reported that independent journalist Breanna Morello has "discovered an important clue: the individuals swatting conservative influencers are sending pizza delivery orders to their homes before placing the distress call to 9-1-1. Specifically, the orders are coming from Domino's and Papa John's."
The report advised, "Unless you specifically ordered pizzas from those locations, do not eat the food and contact authorities immediately."

WASHINGTON – For the hundreds of January 6 prisoners pardoned by President Donald Trump – surveilled, hunted down and terrorized by the FBI and designated as insurrectionists and criminals under the Biden administration, incarcerated for years in pretrial detention alongside murderers and terrorists, sentenced to decades in prison by federal judges for crimes that would normally amount to misdemeanor offenses if anything – many are not going "silently into the night" after being released.
In fact, many pardoned political prisoners are now working tirelessly to seek justice and expose to the American people exactly how the U.S. government operated as a criminal organization, conspiring to entrap good Americans at the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
Upon his release from prison, Chris Quaglin, 39, who spent two of his four years in pretrial detention in solitary confinement, has nothing left.
His son was 2 months old on April 7, 2021, when Chris walked outside his New Jersey home to an FBI SWAT team deploying flashbang grenades and hauling him off to jail for what turned out to be four years.
If not for Trump's pardon, he would still be serving a 12-year prison sentence.
As an electrician, Quaglin earned a good living. However, returning to the life he once knew after enduring hell on earth is not an option for him.
For the foreseeable future, Quaglin is on a mission to raise awareness about what goes on behind the cinderblock walls of correctional facilities nationwide and exposing how "the government unprecedentedly entrapped Americans on January 6" – and to ensure that it "never happens again."
Within days of walking out of the Wisconsin prison FCI Oxford as a free man, and with just a truck and an American flag to his name, Quaglin joined forces with Veterans for Trump and the Stop Hate Awareness Program, an organization that led forensic investigations of the Capitol riot to launch the J6 Freedom Tour.
"I am so hell-bent on prison reform. I can't just go back to work and be an electrician," Quaglin told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview. "This has been going on for 50 years. January 6 just exposed it. J6ers have a voice that other inmates don't have. This is not just a January 6 problem."
The "persecution for wrongthink" has taken a mental and physical toll on him, the pardoned Quaglin explained.
"I absolutely have PTSD," he confided. "There's always something hanging over you. I feel nervous. I feel upset. I am upset at the government. I'm upset at what they did to me for four years," he told WND. "I have night terrors, nightmares. I don't sleep anymore. I maybe get four or five hours of sleep. That's it. I can forget about getting eight hours. And there's a lot of demons running around my head."
"This sort of government overreach – this persecution of Americans," he said, "can never be done again. We are demanding prison reform because what they're doing in these prisons is absolutely disgusting, and it's un-American."
"People don't understand that the Capitol building was stormed twice after January 6 by all the pro-Hamas protesters. They all got $50 fines. As a first-time offender, I got 12 years in prison. It's absolutely insane. The goal of this tour is to usher in prison reform across the country, actually doing something about it, and showcase to the world how J6 was the biggest setup in American history."
Quaglin kicked off the tour with a trip to Northern Neck Regional Jail, the Warsaw, Virginia, correctional facility notorious for beating prisoners unconscious, where he almost starved to death.
In a speech to the NNJR board, Quaglin recounted his harrowing experience at the jail – being denied soap, water and proper medical care, getting punished for lawyer calls and being locked down in solitary confinement 24/7 for nearly the entire year he was incarcerated there.
"From rats and mice to roaches and food, to guards beating on inmates, to a superintendent and a captain who think they make up their own rules and there are no such things as prisoner rights or human rights," he told the board Feb. 14, "I have been treated like a guinea pig by medical personnel who don't know what they're doing."
By the time Quaglin was transferred from NNRJ to the Washington, D.C. Central Detention Facility, widely referred to in recent years as the "D.C. gulag," he was skin and bones and hadn't seen sunlight or eaten a real meal for months.
Days following his speech at NNRJ, a bill mandating that sheriffs investigate abuse among correctional officers in Virginia and hold the government employees accountable for subjecting inmates to torture, was expedited by the state lawmakers to Gov. Glenn Youngkin's desk.
Under §53.1-116.2:1 of HB 2105, sheriffs and jail superintendents must "designate local law-enforcement agency to investigate acts of violence occurring within local correctional facilities."
"The legislation is awaiting signature from the governor as we speak. HB 2105 states, in a nutshell, if there's any abuses that happen inside of the jail, whether it's inmate-on-inmate or staff-on-inmate, the sheriffs must investigate," Quaglin said. "After I gave that speech, the bill immediately got put in front of the House and Senate of Virginia on hyper drive."
Shockingly, according to Quaglin, multiple times daily inmates are nearly beaten to death by guards at Northern Neck.
"It happens all the time and falls under the radar. Countless times, I've seen guards beat inmates after they were handcuffed," he said. "I've seen someone who was handcuffed and shackled kicked in the back. He fell forward, bit a metal window ledge. Every single one of his teeth was shattered.
"The guards specifically targeted me because I documented every illegal thing they did by filing grievances. I have 4,000 pages of daily notes that explain everything that happened over a four-year period. The worst part was not eating for weeks at a time. I have Celiac disease; I need a special diet. At one point, while I was incarcerated in that jail, we had about 300 people call up the sheriff's office saying, 'This guy is going to die in Northern Neck.' The sheriffs turned around and said, 'This isn't our jurisdiction.'
"This bill makes it their jurisdiction and holds the prison responsible. Now, a guard who beats inmates can get arrested themselves. The point of this is to hold these guards responsible, and not just give them free rein."
Quaglin intends to make 150 stops on the Freedom Tour over the next six months to educate the public about what January 6ers were subjected to and pressure lawmakers to institute prison reform, as he did in Northern Neck, Va.
"We are going to be going cross country because the prison system must change in America. We are better than what we do here in this country in the prison system. We have more incarcerations than anywhere else in the world. We have to save our country," he said. "We have meetings with the local Republican clubs and next we are steamrolling into college campuses."
Quaglin was among protesters who demonstrated on the restricted grounds on the Capitol during the first breach on Jan. 6, 2021, when police began indiscriminately shooting demonstrators in the face with rubber bullets and throwing flashbang grenades into the crowd.
As Quaglin confronted the cops for using excessive force against the moderately peaceful crowd, Landon Copeland, a known member of Antifa, is seen in footage repeatedly shoving Quaglin into the police line.
Quaglin was convicted of 12 felonies and two misdemeanors related to his actions at the Capitol riot.
The battle for his freedom has destroyed his family and his life.
"I walked outside to my work truck, and I heard a flash bang go off behind me. Three FBI agents ran up my sidewalk. A fourth FBI agent was beelining from across the street with a firearm pointed at my head. His finger was on the trigger, and if he had pulled it, it would have been game over. That was the last time I saw my wife and son.
"Then I laid on the ground in the middle of the street. They had barricaded my whole block with multiple vehicles, and it was absolutely insane. I mean, I'm an electrician from New Jersey with no criminal record.
"They told me they were outside my house since midnight the day before. I told them, they could have just knocked on my door and said, 'Hey, you got to come with me."
Hours after he was arrested, FBI Special Agent Benjamin Fulps made clear to Quaglin during interrogation that the Justice Department was willing to mitigate his prison sentence and potentially drop all of the charges if he agreed to cooperate and corroborate the government's conspiracy narratives about the riot.
WATCH:
"You're not the only person [we're] arresting today. We are arresting more people, Thursday, Friday, over the weekend, you're like number 350," agent Fulp told him. "A lot of those people are talking and giving us information, which will be used to arrest other people. I tell you that so that you know that this is kind of a time-sensitive proposal that I'm offering you right now.
"So, I'm here to kind of throw you that raft right now to help you from drowning … because I don't want you to go away for 40 years and not see your [child] grow up and, of course, your wife."
Quaglin refused to cooperate.
"Eventually my son is going to be old enough to hear about all of this. I wasn't going to teach my son that it's OK to lie if you get in trouble. I wouldn't take another man away from his family."
A day before his trial began, Quaglin received divorce papers from his wife. She has since issued a restraining order against him. After doling out approximately $200,000 in attorneys for his criminal case, he must now muster up thousands of dollars more to cover impending legal fees in a custody battle.
"Again, I lost everything. So, I don't have a house. I don't have a family right now. I'm going through custody battles. I have to start completely over at 39 years old."
The most important thing to Chris Quaglin right now is getting his story out. "We can do some good," he told WND. "Democrats have been talking about fixing the prison system for decades. It's time we actually do something about it. Just wait, the j6ers' arrest will be the best thing to happen for jail reform in the past 50 years."
The National Transportation Safety Board has found that helicopter traffic out of Ronald Reagan International Airport posed an “intolerable risk to aviation safety by increasing the chances of a mid-air collision” ahead of a crash in January that resulted in the deaths of over 60 people.
“It is stronger than an oversight,” said NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy at a news conference in Arlington, Virginia, where the DCA airport is located, on Tuesday while announcing the agency’s preliminary report into the incident, as Reuters reported.
Sixty-seven people were killed on January 29, when a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines regional jet mid-air over the Potomac River in Washington D.C.
American Airlines Flight 5342 was on its descent from Wichita, Kansas, with 64 people on board, as three soldiers on the helicopter participated in a training mission.
It’s believed the service members were traveling above their 200-foot allocated air clearance and wearing night-vision goggles that could have obscured their vision.
Black Hawk helicopters frequently flew along Route 4, an airway spanning from Hains Point to Wilson Bridge in Washington D.C., before the U.S. Transportation Department restricted the airspace after the crash until March 31.
The restriction does not apply to helicopters entering the airspace for lifesaving medical support, active law enforcement, air defense and presidential transport, but operations outside of those exemptions are prohibited.
“As that deadline nears, we remain concerned about the significant potential for a future mid-air collision at DCA, which is why we are recommending a permanent solution today,” Homendy said. “We believe a critical safety issue must be addressed without delay.”
According to Homendy, the Transportation Department should prohibit helicopter operations along the route when airport runways one, five, and 33 are being used for departures and arrivals.
Following the release of the report it was recommended that the Transportation Department establish an alternative route to allow travel for law enforcement and military personnel when the segment of the route is closed.
This organization has thus far only made the request of the FAA to find an appropriate airway; it is not offering any alternate routes.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy responded to Homendy's comments and consented to comply with the suggestions.
Initial data analysis by the NTSB revealed that between 2011 and 2024, airport officials received one traffic collision alarm each month as a result of helicopters.
The helicopters may have been operating above the 200-foot route altitude restriction in more than half of those reports. Two-thirds of those incidents took place during the night.
Additionally, helicopters flying along Route 4 and planes landing on Runway 33 accounted for a significant amount of the near misses.
There were 15,214 instances of close proximity events that took place between commercial aircraft and helicopters from October 2021 to December 2024, in which the lateral separation distance was less than one nautical mile and the vertical separation was less than 400 feet.
About 944k flights were recorded at the airport during that period. Within the past two and a half years, 85 near misses have occurred within a vertical separation of 200 feet.
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency canceled an apartment lease used by the Secret Service to protect Ashley Biden - but the Secret Service is pushing back.
As reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, DOGE said it cancelled a lease for a 1,000 square foot apartment in Philadelphia, where Biden's daughter lives. Secret Service said it is unaware of changes to the lease, however.
"This Secret Service work site is essential to our operations and necessary to effectuate our protective functions,” agency spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said Monday.
All presidents and their spouses, and their children under 16 are entitled to Secret Service protection, but security can be extended.
Before he left office, former President Biden extended the protective detail for his daughter until July, an official told the Inquirer. The Secret Service said DOGE did not necessarily compromise her safety by sharing the lease information, but the lease agreement remains "essential" for Biden's protection.
"Disclosing the address of a Secret Service work site does not necessarily compromise security for a protectee,” Guglielmi said. “We are very cognizant of these possibilities and take all of it into consideration when developing our protective posture,” he added.
The DOGE website lists over 700 cancelled leases across different government agencies. Three of those leases are listed in Delaware, in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, where President Biden owns two homes.
The Delaware leases collectively add up to $1 million a year. The Philadelphia apartment for Ashley Biden's security detail cost taxpayers $36,348 every year.
The General Services Administration, which manages government real estate holdings and leases, said the Philadelphia and Wilmington leases are intact.
"None of the leases cited were flagged by GSA for termination,” GSA spokesperson Will Powell said. “Both the Philadelphia and Wilmington leases are intact until the end of their term.”
Ashley Biden, 43, is the only child of Joe Biden and Jill Biden. Ashley Biden's diary was infamously stolen in 2020, leading to the prosecution of two individuals who sold it to a conservative news outlet, Project Veritas.
The Justice Department in February said it would not bring charges against Project Veritas, which declined to publish the diary.
In the notebook, Ashley Biden described her troubles with sex and drugs - and mentioned "showers with dad" that she said were "probably not appropriate."
"I have always been boy crazy," she wrote. "Hyper-sexualized @ a young age. What is this due to? Was I molested. I think so – I can't remember specifics but I do remember trauma."

Infowars founder Alex Jones has announced the murder of investigative reporter Jamie White.
The Austin American-Statesman reported the death may have been by criminals who were burglarizing his vehicle.
The Austin Police Department said White was found lying on the ground in a parking lot of the apartment complex where he lived.
He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
"We pledge that Jamie's tragic death will not be in vain, and those responsible for this senseless violence will be brought to justice," Jones said.
Sources told Bloomberg Government in February that the Department of Homeland Security is using polygraph examinations, or lie detector tests, with its employees to ferret out leakers who may have told press outlets about impending immigration raids.
Secretary Kristi Noem issued an internal directive that all polygraphs administered by the department were required to include a question about unauthorized communications with media and nonprofit organizations, the sources said.
“The Department of Homeland Security is a national security agency,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in an emailed statement to The Hill about the report. “We can, should, and will polygraph personnel.”
Noem and Border Czar Tom Homan have blamed internal leaks for low numbers of arrests during some raids.
They have vowed to get to the bottom of any leaks, not only to catch more illegal immigrants, but to keep their people safe.
“Their job is dangerous enough. So we are going to address this very seriously,” Homan told reporters in early February.
Noem said that the polygraphs could also help to determine whether employees could continue to have access to classified or sensitive information and what positions they can hold within the agency.
Noem said that two leakers had been identified and would be referred to the Justice Department for prosecution.
They could get up to 10 years in prison for leaking classified information, and they will likely be looking for new jobs after they get out.
“We will find and root out all leakers. They will face prison time & we will get justice for the American people," Noem said.
While Democrats want to facilitate more immigration, even if it is illegal, Republicans and the majority of American citizens don't want to see illegal immigration at the levels it was during the Biden administration.
Illegal immigration/border security was one of the biggest issues in the 2024 election, second only to the economy.
A majority, 55%, said in a Gallup poll before the election that they wanted to see immigration decrease. That was a significant jump from the 41% that said so the year before.
Pew Research reported last week that 59% of Americans supported increasing deportations, and would presumably take a dim view toward DHS employees leaking information about raids so that illegal immigrants, many of whom have committed other crimes, could avoid arrest and deportation.

It's being described as a First Amendment victory and it involves a town in Ohio abandoning its censorship of political signs on private property.
A report from the American Center for Law and Justice explains the fight got its start when police officers in Carrollton, Ohio, showed up at a front door and ordered a resident to remove a political sign from his front yard.
It was because of an ordinance that read, "Political signs may be exhibited not more than thirty days before nor more than seven days after the date of any election."
The residents, confronted with the town's censorship plan, contacted the ACLJ, which has a long history of fighting for constitutional rights.
"On behalf of our clients, the ACLJ sent a demand letter to the village of Carrollton, demanding that it stop enforcing this unconstitutional ordinance and preventing our clients from displaying political signs in their yard. Only one day after receiving our letter, the village of Carrollton responded and agreed to meet our demands – a major victory for free speech," the legal team reported.
"We are also thankful because the village has now completely repealed the political sign prohibition. In a newly revised ordinance, the village explicitly acknowledged that 'governmental regulation of the posting of political signs implicates free speech rights under the First Amendment.' It stated the desire to 'avoid the threatened free speech litigation over the Village of Carrollton's current regulation and restriction of political signs,'" the report said.
The result was an amended ordinance that entirely eliminates a subsection that had banned political signs.
The report said the residents initially thought the police officers were joking, as their order to remove a political sign "was so egregious."
The political sign that prompted the fight, in fact, was one promoting now-President Donald Trump.
Capitol Police arrested a Republican chief of staff for drunk driving shortly after President Trump's speech to Congress on Tuesday night.
Hayden Haynes, the longtime top aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), reportedly backed into a parked vehicle near the Capitol around midnight.
There were no reported injuries in the incident, which occurred shortly after Trump wrapped up his speech to a joint session of Congress. Speaker Johnson sat directly behind Trump throughout his remarks, which ran for nearly two hours.
Around 11:40 p.m. Johnson's chief of staff backed into a parked vehicle near the Capitol, police said. Haynes was given a citation to appear in court and released.
"A driver backed into a parked vehicle last night around 11:40 p.m.,” United States Capitol Police confirmed in a statement to Breitbart News. “We responded and arrested them for DUI."
Haynes has been Johnson's chief of staff since the formerly obscure Republican from Louisiana entered the spotlight with his election as Speaker in 2023.
Defending Haynes, Johnson said he has "full confidence" in his loyal aide, who has an "esteemed reputation."
"The Speaker is aware of the encounter that occurred last night involving his Chief of Staff and the Capitol Police,” spokesperson Taylor Haulsee said. “The Speaker has known and worked closely with Hayden for nearly a decade and trusted him to serve as his Chief of Staff for his entire tenure in Congress.
"Because of this and Hayden’s esteemed reputation among Members and staff alike, the Speaker has full faith and confidence in Hayden’s ability to lead the Speaker’s office.”
President Trump has pledged to clean up the nation's capital, which, like many liberal cities, has seen a spike in crime and homelessness.
Trump's new acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, is launching a crackdown on gun crimes to "Make D.C. Safe Again" after violent crime rose under his leftist predecessor, former U.S. attorney Matthew Graves.
While the U.S. Attorney handles most crimes in the city, drunk driving offenses are an exception. The DUI case against Haynes will be prosecuted by a Democrat, D.C. Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb.
Meanwhile, the city began clearing tent encampments Friday after Trump threatened to intervene.
"Washington, D.C. must become CLEAN and SAFE! We want to be proud of our Great Capital again. Thank you Mayor Bowser for your efforts on behalf of the Citizens of our Country. Hopefully you will be successful!" Trump wrote in a post.
A suspect was arrested Tuesday in Fort Worth, Texas, for the murder of G$ Lil Ronnie, whose real name is Ronnie Sibley, and his five-year-old daughter R’mani Sibley, Breitbart reported. The pair were gunned down at a car wash in Forest Hill, Texas, on Monday.
Forest Hill Police Chief David Hernandez announced that Adonis Robison, 24, was apprehended in Livingston, Texas, at a Chevron station. The Fort Worth resident and career criminal has been charged with capital murder for his role in the crime.
Another suspect in the murder remains at large. Video first released by TMZ showed the moments before Sibley's death as he attempted to flee from the killers before being gunned down in a hail of bullets.

Police have been searching for Robinson and 21-year-old Jakobie Russel, who is believed to be the other shooter, the New York Post reported. "Now we’ve identified the two cowards who took the lives of these innocent people," Hernandez said in a news conference Wednesday.
"We have public enemy No. 1, Adonis Robinson, who’s also a registered sex offender. Public enemy No. 2, Jakobie Russell, who’s on the run," Hernandez went on.
As Breitbart noted, Robinson is no stranger to violent crime. He was convicted of attempted sexual assault after accosting a 55-year-old woman who was walking alone on a trail. He was also charged with failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements.
In August 2024, he was released from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Russell, who is still on the run, also has criminal convictions, including firearms possession, assault bodily injury, and assault of a pregnant woman.
"They’re scared. They’re cowards," Hernandez said of the suspects.
There's no indication of a motive for the brutal murder of the rapper and his child. The day before she died, R'Mani had just celebrated her fifth birthday.
Video footage from the scene showed Sibley in a bright orange tracksuit attempting to flee from his killers. The aftermath revealed at least 30 police markers at the scene indicating the spots where bullets fell on the pavement.
Sibley's aunt expressed the family's immense grief at this senseless crime. "Somebody came through shooting and killed him and the baby. A baby!" the rapper's aunt said.
"He was a rapper. He didn’t bother nobody. He didn’t target nobody. He was a family man, and he was going around rapping, okay. Why would you target him?" the aunt lamented.
This was a heinous crime that took the lives of two people and was brazenly committed in broad daylight. Police have been successful at taking at least one of his alleged killers off the street, but their job is far from over with Russell still at large.
The chief of staff to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Hayden Haynes, was arrested for drunk driving on Tuesday night.
The arrest came shortly after President Trump wrapped up his speech to a joint session of Congress. Johnson sat directly behind Trump throughout the boisterous address, which ran for almost two hours.
About 45 minutes after Trump was done speaking, Haynes backed into a parked vehicle near the Capitol around 11:40 p.m.
NBC News was first to report the incident.
Haynes was arrested for driving under the influence and released with a citation.
"A driver backed into a parked vehicle last night around 11:40 p.m.," the U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement to NBC News. "We responded and arrested them for DUI.”
Haynes has worked as chief of staff to Johnson for almost a decade, long before the Louisiana Republican rose from obscurity almost overnight to become the House Speaker in 2023.
The case against Haynes is being prosecuted by D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwab, a Democrat, instead of the Trump-aligned U.S. Attorney in D.C., Eric Martin. While the U.S. attorney prosecutes most crimes in the capital, DUI offenses are an exception.
Haynes' arrest came after a rowdy evening in the House chamber, as Democrats repeatedly interrupted Trump's remarks about a new "golden age" in America.
Within minutes of beginning his speech, Trump was heckled by Democrat Rep. Al Green (TX), who was then expelled by Johnson in a dramatic scene. The House formally voted to censure Green on Thursday.
Johnson, known for his mild, socially conservative demeanor, said his confidence in Haynes is intact despite his arrest.
“The Speaker is aware of the encounter that occurred last night involving his Chief of Staff and the Capitol Police,” spokesperson Taylor Haulsee said in a statement.
“The Speaker has known and worked closely with Hayden for nearly a decade and trusted him to serve as his Chief of Staff for his entire tenure in Congress,” Haulsee added. “Because of this and Hayden’s esteemed reputation among Members and staff alike, the Speaker has full faith and confidence in Hayden’s ability to lead the Speaker’s office.”
Meanwhile, Johnson affirmed his support for Haynes when asked about it directly Wednesday.
“I’ve worked with him. He’s trusted and respected. And he has my full faith and confidence,” he told Politico.
