Happy Easter! “He is not here; he has risen!” – Luke 24:6
President Trump was enthusiastically received over the weekend at UFC 314 in Miami with many members of the administration and the first family. He also restored God’s place in the White House with his calling for the best celebration of Holy Week in presidential history which included the White House Easter Prayer Dinner.
The President also welcomed The NCAA National Championship football team, THE Ohio State University, and presented the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy to the 2024 Navy Midshipmen football team.
President Trump was honored to host Angel Mom, Patty Morin, who spoke about the horrific murder of her daughter Rachel by an illegal alien. On the diplomacy front, he held bilateral meetings with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy.
Vice President Vance ensured Ohio State would be the last ones to win the National Championship by “breaking” the trophy. The Vice President is currently on a state visit to Italy and Vatican City, where he is meeting with Italian leaders and attending Good Friday Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica. The Second Family’s trip will continue into next week with a stop in India.

WHITE HOUSE ARTICLE
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) is currently in El Salvador out of concern for an illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member and human trafficker, for whom he “won’t stop fighting until he’s home.”
The criminal illegal immigrant is already home — he’s a Salvadoran citizen.
Where was the Maryland senator’s concern when one of his own constituents, Rachel Morin — an innocent mother of five — was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant? Van Hollen didn’t even bother to contact her family.
Where was his concern when an accused killer was allowed to roam free due to the so-called “sanctuary” policies of his state’s second-most populous county? Van Hollen didn’t say a word about the radical policies that put his constituents at risk.
And where was his concern for Maryland constituents put at risk by the many other illegal immigrants allowed to roam free until now? Here is a tiny sample of the criminal illegal immigrants arrested by ICE in Maryland in recent days:
Jing Ming Long, a 50-year-old citizen of China, arrested by ICE Baltimore. He has a conviction for sex trafficking in Bel Air, Maryland.
Salvador Vasquez-Rivera, a citizen of El Salvador, arrested in Hagerstown, Maryland, by ICE Baltimore. He has a conviction for sexual abuse of a minor.
David Alejandro Orellana-Aleman, a 27-year-old citizen of El Salvador, arrested in Hyattsville, Maryland, by ICE Baltimore. He is a high-ranking leader of the MS-13 gang who controlled gang operations across the U.S., Mexico, and Europe.
Edvin Giovanni Ceron-Reyes, a 37-year-old citizen of Guatemala, arrested in Cumberland, Maryland, by ICE Baltimore. He has a conviction for attempted first-degree murder.
Juan Carlos Vasquez-Natera, a 33-year-old citizen of Venezuela, arrested in Frederick, Maryland, by ICE Baltimore. He has a conviction for sexual solicitation of a minor.
Wilmer Antonio Echenique-Navarro, a 22-year-old citizen of Venezuela, arrested in Takoma Park, Maryland, by ICE Baltimore. He is a known member of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang.
German Ronal Del Cid Carranza, a 33-year-old citizen of El Salvador, arrested in Silver Spring, Maryland, by ICE Baltimore. He is a known member of the MS-13 gang with a conviction for possession of a loaded handgun.
Georges Olivier Daceus, a 27-year-old citizen of Canada, arrested in Hagerstown, Maryland, by ICE Baltimore. He has a conviction for third-degree sexual offense.
Chuan En Liu, a 48-year-old citizen of China, arrested in Gaithersburg, Maryland, by ICE Baltimore. He has a conviction for second-degree assault.
