Hollywood Panic Attack: Jimmy Kimmel’s Wife Says “Freedom” Is Hanging By A Thread Under Trump

A twice-deported illegal immigrant with a rap sheet allegedly brutally stabbed a man on a Charlotte, North Carolina, train. Honduran illegal immigrant Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia is accused of stabbing a man with a “large fixed-blade knife” on a light rail train Friday, leaving him in critical condition, according to the Charlotte Observer. He was first deported from the United States on March 9, 2018, before he crossed the border illegally again and was removed in 2021, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Solorzano-Garcia snuck back in undetected for a third time on an unknown date. He was previously arrested for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, destroying evidence, resisting arrest, using a false ID, and has convictions for robbery and illegal re-entry. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called it a “heinous” attack, saying that her agency has taken action to ensure he faces justice. 50% off DailyWire+ annual memberships will not return for another year, so don’t miss this deal!

Make no mistake: We will not rest until every depraved criminal illegal alien is removed from our communities,” Noem said. Both President Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy commented on the incident: ?An illegal immigrant who was previously deported is now accused of attempted murder for stabbing a man on the Charlotte Light Rail this week? This is just MONTHS AFTER the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska.@POTUS is right… ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We need justice NOW! pic.twitter.com/rnQBer1W3L — Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) December 7, 2025 The latest stabbing comes just four months after the unprovoked murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, 23, in Charlotte. Decarlos Brown Jr. allegedly stabbed Zarutska repeatedly in the neck as she was commuting from her job at a local pizza joint. Last month, the Trump administration deployed federal immigration agents to Charlotte, leading to hundreds of arrests of illegal immigrants in response to local sanctuary policies.

Kevin Smith gave us some of the most memorable independent films and characters of the 1990s. If you love Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, or Jay and Silent Bob, you have Kevin to thank. But before you thank Kevin, he’d probably prefer that you thank his mom, Grace V. Smith, as he credits her as the person who made him who he is. Grace passed away on December 1, and Kevin wrote a beautiful tribute to the first woman he ever loved. “The bill for 55 years of unconditional love came due on December 1st, and the costly price was having to watch the strongest person I’ve ever known – my absolute favorite person in the world – exit the stage after a lifetime of setting it for her children. My Mom is gone,” Kevin wrote. Kevin Smith Always Felt His Mother’s Love Grace Smith gave Kevin Smith and her other children the kind of love many wish they had. “She was a lioness, fiercely protective of her pride, who lived for her kids,” he added of his mom, “so there’s never been a day in my life when I didn’t know in my bones that I was valued as human being, cherished as a child, and deeply loved beyond reason. My Mom made me feel like I mattered – to our family, to the world, and especially to her.” Kevin Smith closed his post with gratitude, thanking his mom for “Making me and taking me on the journey of a lifetime. I love you so much, Mom. You’ve always been, and will forever be, my hero. Love, Tiger.” Fans left Kevin kind words of support and thanked Grace for giving them her son. “Sorry for your loss, Kevin. She will be remembered by many as a wonderful woman who loved her family and many who loved her back. She was more than just a fan of Kevin Smith; She made Kevin Smith, who he is today,” a fan shared. This story’s featured image is by Matt Winkelmeyer/WireImage.
