An illegal alien who entered the U.S. under the Biden administration and was never deported, despite an order from a federal immigration judge, admitted to raping a young girl in New York City last week, prosecutors said on Wednesday. Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, 25, was arraigned on multiple charges this week after a group of Good Samaritans beat him up and held him until authorities were able to arrest him early on Tuesday. He had been on the run for several days after the attack on a 13-year-old girl in Kissena Park in Queens. The New York Post reported that the Ecuadorian migrant was charged with predatory sexual assault, first-degree rape, two counts of second-degree kidnapping, two counts of first-degree robbery, second-degree rape, first-degree sexual abuse, obstructing governmental administration, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Prosecutors said in court that Inga-Landi, who illegally entered the U.S. in 2021, stated during a videotaped confession: “I was nervous at first, then got comfortable and recorded it.” Assistant District Attorney Kasey Esposito reportedly read the transcript of the videotaped statement. Inga-Landi told law enforcement that he came across two teenagers who were having “sexual relations,” and he threatened them with a knife. The illegal alien tied them together, stuffed a bandana in the girl’s mouth and cut off her shorts and underwear, and then raped her. He then took their phones, ran away, and bought drugs, prosecutors said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP DNA from the crime scene matched a sample Inga-Landi gave to immigration authorities three years ago, the report said. Authorities were still investigating his claim that he recorded the rape, which could result in numerous additional charges being filed. The New York Post separately reported that a federal immigration judge ordered him to be deported in February 2022, according to sources at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The report said that Inga-Landi illegally crossed into the U.S. at Eagle Pass, Texas, in June 2021 as part of the unprecedented wave of illegal aliens pouring into the country under President Joe Biden. Inga-Landi entered the U.S. with his son, the report said, adding that they were “deemed ‘inadmissible’ by border agents because they lacked proper documentation to be in the U.S., but were released with the notice to appear in immigration court for ‘humanitarian’ reasons.”

Palaeontologists have struck giant new dinosaur gold with the discovery of Lokiceratops, an ornate beast that was approximately 22 feet (6.7 meters) long, weighed around 11,000 pounds (5 metric tonnes), and had a seriously fancy hat. It belonged to a group of vegetarian dinosaurs known as the “centrosaurines,” and dates back 78 million years.A spectacular dinosaur and one that’s been given a spectacular name, the new species has been crowned Lokiceratops rangiformis, meaning “Loki’s horned face that looks like a caribou.” It’s a hat tip to the Norse god Loki and his horned helmet, and the differing horn lengths of each side of its frill that are asymmetric, much like the antlers of a caribou.It sits within a group of horned dinosaurs known as ceratopsids that first evolved around 92 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous. We know that the group gave rise to several species of ornately decorated dinosaurs, but this discovery is shining a light on the previously unrecognized diversity of these animals.Fossil skull bones of Lokiceratops reconstructed and displayed at the Museum of Evolution in Maribo, Denmark.Image credit: Museum of Evolution“A new horned dinosaur found in the Cretaceous badlands of northern Montana reveals unexpectedly high diversity, suggesting elevated speciation rates and regional endemism in members of the group,” said study co-lead Dr Mark Loewen, a professor and lecturer at the University of Utah, to IFLScience. “Lokiceratops rangiformis is the fourth centrosaurine, and fifth horned dinosaur overall, from a single fauna, and is closely related to two of the other animals it lived alongside. Fossils from this region along the US-Canada border suggest horned dinosaurs were living, and evolving, in a small geographic area. The high endemism seen in centrosaurines implies that dinosaur diversity is presently underestimated and contrasts with the large (historic) geographic ranges seen in most large mammals today.”Reconstruction of Lokiceratops surprised by a crocodilian in the 78-million-year-old swamps of northern Montana, USA.Image credit: ©Andrey Atuchin for the Museum of Evolution in Maribo, Denmark“In addition to being one of the largest and most ornately decorated horned dinosaurs ever discovered, Lokiceratops also reveals an unexpectedly high level of richness in a Laramidia ecosystem,” added co-lead Dr Joseph Sertich, Affiliate Professor, Department of Geosciences, Colorado State University. It must have been so impressive to potential mates that it really was worth having such a huge head!Dr Mark Loewen“Even more surprising, three of the five horned dinosaurs that lived in this ecosystem are close relatives, revealing a surprising pattern of rapid, regionally restricted evolution in the centrosaurine group of horned dinosaurs, a pattern similar to birds and other animals that use display features.”Its headgear is weird even by ceratopsian standards, being one of the largest frill horns ever seen among this group of dinosaurs. Beyond being very fabulous, these ornaments provide a lot of information on the diversity of horned dinosaurs, helping us to build a more complete picture of the species richness of Cretaceous ecosystems. That said, carting it around wouldn’t have been easy.Portrait reconstructions of all four centrosaurine dinosaurs that lived together in the Kennedy Coulee Assemblage of northern Montana and southern Alberta.Image credit: Fabrizio Lavezzi © Evolutionsmuseet, Knuthenborg“Having a giant head like Lokiceratops required massive neck muscles to balance it on the body and lots of calories to grow as the animal matured,” continued Loewen. “At the same time, it must have been so impressive to potential mates that it really was worth having such a huge head!”Lokiceratops was the biggest horned dinosaur of its time, but remarkably it was one of five living together at the same time. It had been previously thought that no more than two species of horned dinosaurs could coexist, but Lokiceratops’ big head has blown that theory out of the water.The prehistoric behemoth is also unique in that it didn’t possess a nose horn, but what it lacked on the snoot it made up for on its frill, which was packing the two blade-like horns that inspired its name. The groundbreaking specimen was excavated from the badlands of northern Montana, and will go on display at the Natural History Museum of Utah, so you can see one of the largest and most ornate dinosaurs ever found for yourself.The study is published in PeerJ.

A Bronze-Age ship that sank around 3,300 years ago has been discovered on the Mediterranean Sea floor, along with its cargo of hundreds of intact jars that once stored merchandise. Located around 90 kilometers (56 miles) off the northern coast of Israel and at a depth of 1,800 meters (6,000 feet), the ancient vessel is the oldest ever found in the deep sea.Until now, all shipwrecks dated to the Bronze Age – which began a little over 5,000 years ago – had been discovered in shallow waters close to the shoreline. For instance, the world’s oldest known sunken vessel is located just off the coast of the Greek island of Dokos and is thought to have met its end around 4,200 years ago.As a result, “the academic assumption until now was that trade in that time was executed by safely flitting from port to port, hugging the coastline within eye contact,” explained Jacob Sharvit, Head of the Israel Antiquities Authority Marine Unit, in a statement via email. “The discovery of this boat now changes our entire understanding of ancient mariner abilities: It is the very first to be found at such a great distance with no line of sight to any landmass.”“To navigate they probably used the celestial bodies, by taking sightings and angles of the Sun and star positions,” he said.The ship and its cargo were spotted during a routine seafloor survey by a major natural gas exploration and production company. After mapping the site, the firm confirmed that the boat was between 12 and 14 meters (39 to 46 feet) long and was loaded with hundreds of Canaanite amphorae.Two of the many Canaanite jars found onboard the sunken ship.Image credit: Emil Aladjem, Israel Antiquities Authority“The vessel type identified in the cargo was designed as the most efficient means of transporting relatively cheap and mass-produced products such as oil, wine and other agricultural products such as fruit,” explained Sharvit. The presence of such a sizable booty hints at “significant commercial ties” between whichever country the ship came from and the ancient Levant, he added.At this stage, little is known about the vessel’s origin or history, although Sharvit says that “the ship seems to have sunk in crisis, either due to a storm or to an attempted piracy attack – a well-known occurrence in the Late Bronze Age.” Fortunately, the boat’s resting place at the bottom of the deep blue has protected it from waves, currents, and divers, all of which impact and damage shipwrecks in shallow waters.As a result, the ship’s body has remained well preserved for almost three-and-a-half millennia, with its wooden beams safely buried in the sediment on the ocean floor.“There is tremendous potential here for research,” said Sharvit. “The ship is preserved at such a great depth that time has frozen since the moment of disaster.”
