'Pure evil': Ex-migrant arrested for murdering DHS employee found dead in his prison cell

3 weeks 1 day ago


A naturalized citizen from the U.K. who allegedly went on a shooting spree in Georgia and murdered a DHS employee walking her dog has been found dead in his prison cell while awaiting trial.

Olaolukitan Adon Abel, 26, was arrested after a witness saw him last week standing over the body of Lauren Bullis, an auditor with the Department of Homeland Security.

Police said the killing was the third murderous attack Adon Abel had committed in a series that included the lethal shooting of a woman and another shooting that killed a homeless man.

The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Adon Abel was found unresponsive in his jail cell just after 6:48 p.m. Tuesday and was pronounced dead 29 minutes later after detention staff tried to revive him.

Officials said there was no evidence of foul play in his death, and an internal investigation will determine the circumstances of his death.

Bullis was walking her dog on April 13 when Adon Abel shot and stabbed her, according to police. Her neighbor said she saw the man trying to pull the victim's pants off after the attack before he fled.

Police said the killing was the third murderous attack Adon Abel had committed in a series that included the lethal shooting of a woman and another shooting that killed a homeless man.

DHS later released the man's extensive prior criminal convictions that included "sexual battery, battery against a police officer, obstruction, assault with a deadly weapon, and vandalism."

"These acts of pure evil have devastated our Department and my prayers are with the families of the victims," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.

Adon Abel was naturalized by the Biden administration in 2022.

Mullin went on to say that the Trump administration is making efforts to prevent dangerous criminals from entering the country through the immigration system.

"In an effort to remove murderers like this from our communities, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the creation of a new vetting center on December 5, 2025, to enhance screening and vetting of immigration applications, with a focus on identifying terrorists, criminal aliens, and other threats to public safety," reads a statement from DHS.

Peter Schweizer: Welfare Fraudsters Are Voters, Too

3 weeks 1 day ago

The California legislature wants to criminalize citizen journalists who try to expose massive fraud in the state’s “migrant services” programs. AB 2064, dubbed by its critics the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” would classify asking questions at migrant service centers in the state as harassment and expose the journalist to a $10,000 fine and possibly a year in jail.

'Very good news!' Imminent death sentence for 8 Iranian women halted, Trump says — because he intervened

3 weeks 1 day ago


President Donald Trump says he has secured an agreement with the Iranian regime to stop the planned execution of eight women who had reportedly protested against the ruling party.

The women were reportedly swept up in the regime's crackdown on protests in January that led to thousands being killed and tens of thousands of arrests. Official estimates of the death count vary widely.

'I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States.'

"Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed," the president wrote in a statement on Truth Social.

He went on to say that four of the women would be released immediately and another four would be sentenced to one month in prison.

"I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he added.

The Trump administration is negotiating with the remaining elements of the Iranian regime after devastating strikes from the U.S. and Israel.

On Tuesday, the president had posted a request to the Iranian regime to do no harm to the women as a show of good faith for their peace negotiations.

The president was responding to a post on social media by pro-Israel activist Eyal Yakoby that included photos of eight women. Among them was Bita Hemmati, a woman accused of committing violent acts in the protest, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran, an opposition organization.

On Tuesday, Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran in order to allow the regime to come up with a "unified proposal" for peace negotiations. Iran later announced that it had seized two tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

A Norwegian human rights group said that two of the women had already been let out on bail since late March, and the Iranian judiciary denied that the women were facing the death penalty.

Amnesty International said there was evidence to prove the regime had conducted "mass unlawful killings" on an "unprecedented scale" to quell the protests. Former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had admitted to "thousands" of deaths.

Iran claimed more than 3,000 people had been killed, but some estimates place the death toll to as many as 20,000, according to Amnesty.
