A state jury condemns the aggressor of Nancy Pelosi’s husband

A state jury condemned David DePape this Friday for assaulting the husband of the former leader of the U.S. House of Representatives. Nancy Pelosi on October 28, 2022 at her home in San Francisco (California).

The jury sentenced DePape for first-degree robbery, illegal detention, threats to a relative of a public official and kidnapping with aggravating circumstances, according to local media.

DePape had already pleaded guilty in a federal court and sentenced to 30 years in prison last month, but Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley decided to reopen the case days later because, she acknowledged, the aggressor was not given the opportunity to make a final plea before the sentence was handed down.

Then, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison on charges of assault and 20 years for attempted kidnapping, adding a maximum sentence of 50 years, but Scott Corley ordered that the sentences be served simultaneously for a total of 30 years, plus 5 years of probation.

“It was the responsibility of the court to personally ask Mr. DePape if he wanted to speak. Since the court didn’t do it, it made a clear mistake,” Scott Corley said.

As established during the litigation, DePape broke into the Pelosi’s house in San Francisco at night and hit Paul Pelosi (82 years old at the time) on the head with a hammer when the former president of the Lower House was out of town.

Paul Pelosi declared during the federal trial that on the day of the raid he was awakened by “a very burly man” with a hammer and bridles who asked him: “Where is Nancy?”

The husband of the Democratic politician managed to call 911 and the Police when DePape was not looking, but when the agents arrived the aggressor hit Paul Pelosi in the skull causing a fracture.

Senator Van Hollen Meets with Deported MS-13 Member in El Salvador; Trump and Bukele React

U.S. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, representing the state of Maryland, held a meeting in El Salvador with deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Ábrego García, a member of the criminal group classified by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization.

“Kilmar Ábrego García, miraculously resurrected from the ‘extermination camps’ and ‘torture chambers,’ now sipping margaritas with Senator Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” wrote President Nayib Bukeleon X (formerly Twitter), sharing photos of Van Hollen, Ábrego García, and a lawyer sitting together at a Salvadoran hotel.

The deported gang member is seen wearing a plaid shirt and a flat-brimmed cap, seated at a table with glasses and coffee cups. The senator also shared images of the meeting on his own social media accounts.

Bukele reaffirmed that Ábrego will remain in El Salvador and will not be returned to the United States.

“Now that his health has been confirmed, he has earned the honor of remaining under the custody of El Salvador,” Bukele added.

Pope Francis Appears for Easter Blessing, Calls for Peace and Religious Freedom

Pope Francis, still recovering from pneumonia, appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Easter Sunday and, with a faint voice, wished a “Happy Easter” to the thousands of faithful gathered to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.

A month after being discharged from a lengthy hospital stay, the presence of the 88-year-old pontiff had remained uncertain, with the Vatican not confirming his attendance ahead of time.

Eventually, the pope made a brief appearance in a wheelchair shortly after 12:00 p.m. (10:00 GMT) to deliver his traditional “Urbi et Orbi” blessing (“to the city and to the world”).

Although no longer wearing an oxygen cannula, the Argentine Jesuit relied on a close aide to read his Easter message, which touched on major global conflicts.

Francis condemned the “dramatic and unworthy humanitarian crisis” in Gaza and called for a ceasefire, while also expressing concern over the “growing climate of antisemitism spreading across the globe.”

He further emphasized the importance of religious freedom and freedom of thought, stating that without mutual respect, “peace is not possible.”

Thousands rally nationwide against Trump’s threat to U.S. democracy

Thousands of protesters gathered on Saturday (April 19, 2025) in major cities like New York and Washington, as well as in small communities across the United States, in a second wave of demonstrations against President Donald Trump. The crowds denounced what they view as growing threats to the country’s democratic ideals.

In New York City, demonstrators of all ages rallied in front of the Public Library near Trump Tower, holding signs accusing the president of undermining democratic institutions and judicial independence.

Many protesters also criticized Trump’s hardline immigration policies, including mass deportations and raids targeting undocumented migrants.

“Democracy is in grave danger,” said Kathy Valyi, 73, the daughter of Holocaust survivors. She told AFP that the stories her parents shared about Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1930s Germany “are happening here now.”

In Washington, demonstrators voiced concern over what they see as Trump’s disregard for long-standing constitutional norms, such as the right to due process.
