An FBI agent faces accusations of luring women to a tattoo shop in Maryland before sexually assaulting them. Eduardo Valdivia, 40, was arrested on Monday and allegedly contacted his victims through an Instagram account for a tattoo parlor in Gaithersburg, police said. According to the Associated Press, Valdivia used aliases such as Lalo Brown and “El Boogie.” Both alleged victims reportedly said they went to the tattoo shop under the impression of receiving “free tattoos and modeling work.” “The FBI takes allegations of criminal violations and misconduct very seriously. We are aware of the matter involving the recent arrest of an FBI employee and are fully cooperating with the Montgomery County Police Department,” an FBI spokesperson said.

Both women told police that they feared Valdivia would have caused them more harm if they tried to resist or leave, according to a police affidavit. Valdivia presented the women with modeling contracts and threatened to take legal action if they didn’t return to model for him, Augustine said. Police detectives suspect that Valdivia may have sexually assaulted other women under similar circumstances, according to the assistant chief. “I would like to thank the victims that did come forward. They have now stopped this contact going on in our community and being brave to come forward to notify the police about what was going on, which most likely saved other people from being victimized,” Augustine said.

FBI agent acquitted in 2020 train shooting arrested in Maryland for alleged sexual assault against 2 women https://t.co/wsxez575nk — Fox News (@FoxNews) November 26, 2024 Per Fox News: Valdivia was previously charged with attempted second-degree murder and other charges in connection with a 2020 off-duty shooting aboard a Metro Red Line train near Bethesda, Maryland, but was acquitted two years later. He had allegedly engaged in a verbal exchange with a man who approached him asking for money. When Valdivia declined to give him any money, the man allegedly muttered expletives before turning away. Then, Valdivia shot the man from a distance of roughly two to three feet after repeatedly telling the man to back up, county prosecutor Robert Hill said in court. The wounded man had part or all of his spleen, colon and pancreas removed during surgery following the shooting, Hill said. The FBI agent was later charged with attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a violent crime and reckless endangerment. Valdivia turned himself in after he was indicted in 2021, but a jury found him not guilty of all charges last December. Now, Valdivia faces new felony and misdemeanor charges, including two counts of second-degree rape, over alleged incidents in May and September of this year, according to court records. WATCH:

Have you heard of “Boofing”? I have. I wish I hadn’t. Now you have to hear about it too…. Leave it to the druggies to come up with something as disgusting as this. If smoking the drugs or injecting the drugs or eating the drugs was not good enough, you now have an alternative….insert them into your anus for an even quicker “high”! What will they think of next? But that’s not even the main reason I’m showing you this. I’m showing you this because Maine is now using taxpayer dollars to support and sponsor this behavior, according to the Maine Wire. Stay classy, Maine! Just watch this video for yourself: “I always recommend people try boofing.” Watch as Maine’s “harm reduction” experts opine on the virtues of sticking fentanyl up your butt. pic.twitter.com/qZymOMWLod — The Maine Wire (@TheMaineWire) June 11, 2024 Backup video here if needed: Have you heard about BOOFING? pic.twitter.com/NbjeNbXEKP — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) June 15, 2024 Sticking fentanyl up your butt? Gee, what could possibly go wrong? Grok reports that the term “boofing” can have many different meanings and can I just suggest from experience in writing this article that you may not want to search for it on Google or Twitter? Pro tip! Here are more details on the taxpayer funded program, from the Maine Wire: Maine’s taxpayer-funded “harm reduction” specialists call it “boofing” or “booty dumping,” but those are just pleasant euphemisms referring to the practice of sticking heroin, fentanyl, or meth up your butt. Maine Access Points, a taxpayer-funded nonprofit based in Bangor, as well as the city of Portland’s city-run needle distribution center are both offering extensive how-to guides and — even anal injection kits — to help drug users squirt narcotics into their anuses. In Portland, the “Portland Public Health Boofing Kit” comes with a needleless syringe and an informational flyer explaining the proper technique for putting drugs up your butt. First, users are instructed to find a safe and private spot to “boof your drugs.” Then, you mix your drugs in a tin with saline and wipe your hands and anus clean. “Use the provided lube packet to coat the outside of the syringe, this will make insertion easier,” the flyer reads. The tin, saline, syringe, lube and wipes are all provided in the kit. “Lay on your side with your knees pulled up in a fetal position, or however is most comfortable. Insert the syringe into your rectum,” the flyer says, adding that the syringe need not go in all that far. Once the user has just the tip in, they’re instructed to push the syringe plunger and “release your mixture” into the rectum. Importantly, the guide advises to “let the syringe stay there for a minute so nothing leaks out.” According to the flyer, boofing is an alternative way to use drugs if your usual injection sites are no longer viable or your lungs need a break from freebasing. “If you are struggling to hit a vein, or would like to gives [sic] your lungs a break from smoking, boofing is a great option to do your drugs without using a needle or a pipe,” the city of Portland flyer says. The taxpayer-funded boofing supply guide also gives aspiring boofers this tantalizing tip: “Compared to smoking or sniffing your drugs, boofing may hit harder or faster.” Tuesday morning, the Maine Wire confirmed in-person that Portland is indeed still handing out free boofing kits. After a brief wait, the Maine Wire asked for an received a full boofing kit from Portland’s harm reduction clinic, along with two free doses of narcan — the opioid overdose reversal drug — and some fentanyl testing strips. “Boofing” sure doesn’t mean what I thought it used to mean!

President-elect Donald Trump incoming border czar said during an interview this week that he is absolutely willing to have far-Left Denver Mayor Mike Johnston thrown in jail after Johnston said that he would obstruct federal immigration officials from carrying out deportations in the city. Johnston said in an interview with a local publication that he would deploy the Denver Police Department “at the county line to keep them out.” He went even further, threatening to turn the situation into a “Tiananmen Square moment.” Homan said during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that impeding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials from removing illegal aliens was “absolutely breaking the law.” “But, look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing: He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail,” Homan added. Homan’s remarks come after Johnston was asked during a separate interview with local media if he was willing to go to jail to stop deportations from happening. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “Yeah, I’m not afraid of that,” Johnston said. “And I’m also not seeking that.” Homan noted that it is federal felony under Title 8 U.S.C. § 1324 to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien from immigration authorities. “President Trump has been clear, we want to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats,” he added. “I find it hard to believe that any [government official] would say they don’t want public safety threats removed from their neighborhoods.” WATCH: Border Czar Tom Homan on Denver Mayor Johnson’s threats to block deportations: “I’m willing to put him in jail” pic.twitter.com/cX393ay2LM — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) November 26, 2024 Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who sits on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told CBS News on Sunday that Johnston would be removed from office if he resisted federal immigration authorities. “The mayor of Denver, if he’s going to resist federal law, which there’s a longstanding history of the supremacy of federal law, if he’s going to resist that, it will go all the way to the Supreme Court,” he said. “And I would suspect that he would be removed from office.” “I don’t know whether or not there’d be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting federal law, but he will lose,” he continued. “And people need to realize that what he is offering is a form of insurrection, where the states resist the federal government.” “The mayor of Denver is on the wrong side of history, and, really, I think, will face legal ramifications if he doesn’t obey the federal law,” he added.
