She told police that she and the sisters were shot by her father. Chairez is being held without bond because he is believed to be in the U.S. illegally‚ according to jail records‚ Fox 4 reported.   Valdez and Bailon “were two sisters who were best friends &; were beautiful individuals who loved their family &; were so devoted to them‚” according to Bailon’s daughter Jasmin‚ who set up a GoFundMe to help pay for memorial service costs.   It remains unclear how Chairez knew the sisters as police continue their investigation into the alleged double homicide.  As illegal border crossings continue to rise at record levels under the Biden administration‚ communities across the nation have dealt with the consequences of dangerous criminals making their way into the U.S.  Last month‚ a Honduran man who had been deported twice was charged with murder in Tennessee after the body of a man was found in a burnt-out vehicle in Nashville.

Actress Julianna Margulies had some harsh words of condemnation for Hamas supporters who are also proponents of the LGBT social movement‚ saying their stance is contradictory. The 57-year-old “The Morning Show” star made the comments during an appearance on Andy Ostroy’s “Back Room” podcast.  “It’s those kids who are spewing anti-Semitic hate that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country‚ these people who want us to call them ‘they/them’ or whatever they want us to call them‚ which I have respectfully really made a point of doing. Like be whoever you want to be. It’s those people that will be the first people beheaded‚ and their heads played with as a soccer ball‚ like a soccer ball on the field‚” Margulies said.  “And that’s who they’re supporting? Terrorists who don’t want women to have their rights‚ don’t want LGB- LGBTQ people get executed bar none… and this is who you’re supporting‚” she added. “It is so insane to me that it is laughable if it wasn’t so sad.”  The Hollywood star referenced the demonstrators on college campuses specifically‚ saying‚ “Where are the professors calling all of these students into the auditorium and saying ‘Hold on a minute. Guys‚ do you understand what a terrorism organization is about? Learn what you are supporting.’” “There are Muslims‚ Christians‚ Catholics‚ Buddhists‚ and Jews that are being held hostage‚ and you’re ripping down posters? Why?” Margulies continued. “What is that going to do? What are you actually trying to say?” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP During the same interview‚ Margulies questioned a black lesbian club at Columbia University which made headlines for banning “Zionists” from a film screening on campus. “As someone who plays a lesbian journalist on ‘The Morning Show‚’ I’m more offended by it as a lesbian than I am as a Jew‚ to be honest with you‚ because I want to say to them‚ ‘You f***ing idiots‚'” Margulies said.  “‘You don’t exist. Like you’re even lower than the Jews. A‚ you’re black and B‚ you’re gay! And you’re turning your back against the people who support you? Because Jews‚ they rally around everybody.”  Margulies‚ who is Jewish‚ said she’s on board with supporting leftist causes‚ including Black Lives Matter and same-sex marriage. But she is frustrated how others who align with her politically have come out as pro-Hamas. “Hamas owns the media. Hamas puts out what they want the world to believe‚” she said. “…Of course‚ all the Jews are gonna speak up. It’s the non-Jews that need to speak up. And it really‚ it really brings me back tonight to the Holocaust and how our ancestors must have felt when their friends suddenly were like‚ ‘Sorry‚ you can’t come over anymore‚'” she said.

Actress Felicity Huffman is breaking her silence on her involvement in a college admissions scandal which included dozens of parents using bribery and cheating to help get their children into elite institutions.  Huffman served 11 days in jail in 2019 and completed 250 hours of community service after it was discovered that she paid $15‚000 to William “Rick” Singer so he would falsify her daughter’s SAT results. The Oscar-nominated actress said she didn’t set out to cheat‚ but was rather encouraged by Singer‚ who told her it was the only way for her daughter Sophia to be accepted into a top-tier school. “People assume that I went into this looking for a way to cheat the system and making proverbial criminal deals in back alleys‚ but that was not the case‚” Huffman said during an interview with ABC-7 Eyewitness News that aired Thursday. “I worked with a highly recommended college counselor named Rick Singer. I worked with him for a year and trusted him implicitly. And he recommended programs and tutors and he was the expert. And after a year‚ he started to say‚ ‘Your daughter is not going to get into any of the colleges that she wants to.’ And so‚ I believed him.” The “Desperate Housewives” alum said she participated in the crimes for the benefit of her daughter.  “When he slowly started to present the criminal scheme‚ it seemed like — and I know this seems crazy at the time — that that was my only option to give my daughter a future‚” Huffman told the outlet. “I know hindsight is 20/20 but it felt like I would be a bad mother if I didn’t do it. So‚ I did it.” “It felt like I had to give my daughter a chance at a future‚” she added. “And so it was sort of like my daughter’s future‚ which meant I had to break the law.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Huffman‚ 60‚ maintains that Sophia had no knowledge that her mother was helping her cheat. “She was going‚ ‘Can we get ice cream afterwards? I’m scared about the test. What can we do that’s fun?’ And I kept thinking‚ ‘Turn around‚ just turn around‚'” Huffman said. “To my undying shame‚ I didn’t.” Huffman pleaded guilty to paying to have a proctor change her daughter’s answers‚ ensuring a better score on the SAT. Sophia later took the SAT again and is currently in the theatre program at Carnegie Mellon University‚ per People. Singer was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison and fined $10 million for orchestrating the college admissions scheme. A federal investigation dubbed “Operation Varsity Blues” discovered that Singer collected more than $25 million from his wealthy clients and payed out bribes totaling more than $7 million to exam proctors‚ college administrators‚ and athletic coaches. “Full House” actress Lori Loughlin also participated in the scheme‚ allegedly paying more than $500‚000 to have her two daughters accepted into USC as members of the rowing team despite neither of them ever participating in the sport.
