New York Times is getting absolutely hammered online for sympathetic article about criminal illegal alien
As the debate over immigration continues, the New York Times tried to put a sympathetic light on an illegal alien who committed identity theft and instead radicalized many on the right.
The article contrasts the lives of Romeo Perez-Bravo from Guatemala and Dan Kluver, the man whose identification records were stolen to secure employment for Perez-Bravo in the Midwest.
‘The disgusting New York Times writes this story … as if they are BOTH victims.’
Kluver was forced to pay thousands of dollars to resolve the tax debts that had been racked up by Perez-Bravo under his credentials.
The Times portrays the identify theft as an unfortunate feature of the employment system and frames it as a “survival tactic” of illegal immigrants.
His case was one version of a problem that’s been spreading across the country for years. The government estimates that as many as one million undocumented workers are using fraudulent or stolen Social Security numbers — a survival tactic used to pass background checks and get jobs. The numbers are skimmed from data breaches, sold in black markets online for as little as $150, or handed out in border towns by human smugglers. Many numbers connect back to US citizen children, dead people, or Puerto Ricans whose numbers circulate easily across the mainland.
The article was immediately assailed by many online, and the Department of Homeland Security responded by setting the record straight about the extent of the criminal convictions against Perez-Bravo.
“The violent criminal illegal alien who stole Daniel Kulver’s identity is Guatemalan National Romeo Perez Bravo,” replied DHS Assistant Sec. Tricia McLaughlin.
She added that he had a rap sheet including convictions for terroristic threats and assault and four convictions for driving under the influence.
“He reentered the U.S. a third time after being removed, which is a felony,” she added. “Behind every stolen Social Security number is a real American: mothers, fathers, students, and workers facing devastating financial, personal and legal fallout.”
He was also involved in a traffic accident that resulted in the death of a 68-year-old grandfather, according to the Times.
The Times, meanwhile, is getting decimated.
“An illegal alien was using the stolen identity of an American citizen — and the disgusting New York Times writes this story … as if they are BOTH victims,” replied political consultant Steve Cortes.
“This is just a completely infuriating story,” responded Ohio state Rep. Josh Williams (R). “When you see Democrats fight back against mass deportations to the extent they have, think about men like Daniel Kluver, who have had their shot at the American Dream turned upside down because of the left’s desire to protect illegals over Americans.”

“One selfish man destroyed another man’s life, killed a grandpa, and sent a young girl to the hospital. It’s incredible to see how hard you strain to varnish over this ugly story,” read another response.
“The worst part of this article is how the @nytimes tries to paint a sympathetic story about the illegal alien. He was involved in a fatal crash and handed over the identity of the American whose name he’d stolen. The actual victim of the ID theft ended up getting sued for it,” replied the account for the Project for Immigration Reform.

‘Reminiscent of the Manhattan Project’: Trump administration launches massive next-gen AI program
As the AI arms race continues at breakneck pace, the United States is stepping up its game to stay on the cutting edge of information technology. To that end, the Trump administration is launching a new initiative: the Genesis Mission.
On Monday, the White House announced the creation of the Genesis Mission under the purview of the Department of Energy.
‘The Genesis Mission marks a defining moment for the next era of American science.’
The Genesis Mission is described as a “national effort to accelerate the application of AI for transformative scientific discovery focused on pressing challenges.”

More concretely, the Department of Energy has been ordered to “build an integrated AI platform to harness federal scientific datasets.”
In its announcement on X, the Department of Energy said the Genesis Mission will be “reminiscent of the Manhattan Project and Apollo programs.”
In the promotional video, the DOE suggested that this initiative is not unlike what visionaries such as G.W. Liebniz, Claude Shannon, and Alan Turing could have only dreamed of in their scientific endeavors to understand the world.
Dr. Dario Gil, undersecretary for science and Genesis Mission director, said in a press release: “The Genesis Mission marks a defining moment for the next era of American science. We are linking the nation’s most advanced facilities, data, and computing into one closed-loop system to create a scientific instrument for the ages, an engine for discovery that doubles R&D productivity and solves challenges once thought impossible.”
Energy Secretary Chris Wright explained the scope and goal of the project: “This Genesis Mission is going to bring together industry, the national labs, data sets all tied together in a closed-loop system to just rapidly advance the pace of scientific and engineering progress.”
“It will be transformative,” Wright added.
This announcement comes just months after the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan, a comprehensive plan to win the global AI race.

‘Santa, I want the head of a Nazi under my tree’: Masked creeps deliver Christmas cards with threatening leftist messages
Jaret McComas told KCBS-TV last week that he found a Christmas card left on his doorstep in Yucaipa, California, and was taken aback by what was written inside.
“I pick it up, open it, and it reads, ‘Santa, I want the head of a Nazi under my tree,'” McComas told the station.
‘When you have people roaming your neighborhood in black face masks, leaving violent notes and warnings, it’s kind of disturbing.’
But he wasn’t the only resident in his neighborhood to receive such a card.
Another card read, “Merry Christmas and f**k you Nazi,” KCBS said.
Neighborhood resident Scott Ungar told KABC-TV that each card contained a different message: “The one over there said a date, and they said, ‘You’ve been warned,’ like they were warning something is going to happen on a specific date.”
Ungar added to KABC that “all of the stuff that they were putting in [the cards was] stuff you have been hearing for Antifa.”
More from KCBS:
Doorbell camera footage from some of the homes shows masked men placing the cards in various locations, such as planter boxes and on doormats, and then blowing a kiss to the camera. Another home’s surveillance camera captured the suspects spitting on a Tesla belonging to their neighbor.
Simona Stacks, another neighbor who got one of the cards, told KCBS that “it’s really terrifying, to be honest with you, because we’re home. I have my 14-year-old daughter — what if she was outside? What if you see four men with masks on?”
Ungar added to KABC that “when you have people roaming your neighborhood in black face masks, leaving violent notes and warnings, it’s kind of disturbing.”
Stacks wondered to KCBS why her home and others were targeted — and she has one theory: “Maybe it’s all the American flags, Trump flags. … It really does feel like a bit of a hate crime.”
San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer Jenny Smith told KCBS that officials there are “investigating to see what that crime could lead to, or what was the purpose of those letters. We don’t have a specific crime indicated as of yet.”
Deputies told KCBS that at least two suspects were involved in last Monday’s incident and that they ran away on foot when one of the homeowners approached them.
McComas noted to KABC that neither he nor his neighbors who received the cards display political signs or affiliations.
“I am not a heavy conservative,” he added to KABC. “I’m gay, engaged to my fiancé, Roger. So it’s just kind of concerning for me because I am like, ‘What did I do?'”
McComas told KABC he also wondered if the American flag outside his home might have been what attracted the culprits’ attention, but he said that not every targeted house had an American flag.

Either way, the sheriff’s department told KCBS that patrols in the area would increase while the investigation continues.
What’s more, the neighbors added to KCBS that they are not letting the disturbing cards dampen their holiday activities.
“Gonna bring the Christmas spirit back to the street, and hopefully that cheers everybody else up,” McComas told KCBS.
Investigators believe there may be other unidentified victims and are asking those who have more information to contact them at 909-918-2330, KCBS said.
