Why is it so difficult for you to be honest? The sentences of the eight defendants were for the following offenses:  Rueda and Estrada were active members of a criminal conspiracy and did more than just hide magazines. Riot, with the intent to commit an act of violence, involving conduct such as shooting and throwing fireworks and explosives, slashing tires on a government vehicle, spraying graffiti on property and vehicles, destroying a closed circuit camera, shooting at officers, and dressing in black bloc. Defendants convicted: Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto  Providing Material Support to Terrorists, including property, services, training, communications equipment, weapons, explosives, personnel (including themselves), and transportation. Defendants convicted: Arnold, Evetts, Song, Batten, Morris, Rueda, E. Soto, and I. Soto Conspiracy to Use and Carry an Explosive, and Using and Carrying an Explosive, during a riot. Defendants convicted: Arnold, Evetts, Song, Batten, Morris, Rueda, E. Soto, and I. Soto Attempted Murder of Officers and Employees of the United States, involving the unlawful attempt to kill with malice aforethought an Alvarado Police Officer who was assisting federal officers/agents. Defendant convicted:  Song Discharging a Firearm During, and in Relation to, and in Furtherance of a Crime of Violence, i.e., the attempted murder of two correctional officers and an Alvarado Police Officer. Defendant convicted:  Song Corruptly Concealing a Document or Record, by transporting a box containing numerous Antifa materials, such as insurrection planning, anti-law enforcement, anti-government, and anti-immigration enforcement documents and propaganda from Sanchez Estrada&#x2019;s residence to a location in Denton, Texas, intending to conceal the box&#x2019;s contents and impair its availability for use in a federal grand jury and federal criminal proceeding. Defendant convicted: Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada Conspiracy to Conceal Documents and other objects that would implicate Maricela Rueda in the riot and shooting at the Prairieland facility. Defendants convicted: Sanchez Estrada and Maricela Rueda Defendants Song, Morris, Rueda, and E. Soto were sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Mark T. Pittman for the Northern District of Texas. When imposing the sentences, Judge Pittman said, &#x201C;It&#x2019;s by the grace of God that Song is not dead. He managed to get 11 shots in seconds; then the officer shooting blindly happened to hit the magazine well of Song&#x2019;s rifle. Mr. Song&#x2019;s lucky he isn&#x2019;t dead. We had a guardian angel that ensured that Mr. Song isn&#x2019;t dead, and we don&#x2019;t have several deceased people at Prairieland.&#x201D;  Defendants Arnold, Evetts, Batten, and Sanchez-Estrada were sentenced by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Reed O&#x2019; Connor for the Northern District of Texas. When imposing the sentences, Chief Judge O&#x2019; Connor said, &#x201C;The defendants&#x2019; violence and terrorism is an assault on Democracy. The defendants&#x2019; planning, staging, and execution of the attack led to the attempted murder of an officer who ironically is not even involved in enforcing immigration law.&#x201D;</description><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2026 13:54:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Blue bank refusal to issue Immigration bank letter</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397818-blue-bank-refusal-to-issue-immigration-bank-letter/?do=findComment&comment=20580380]]></link><description>Don't follow.

I wonder what the rules were. Leave China for Hong Kong for a few days before giving birth, give birth and head back across to China? Bingo one kid with UK citizenship. Not quite. I looked it up. AI Overview Children born in Hong Kong before July 1, 1997, did not automatically receive full British citizenship. Instead, they were granted a secondary nationality status known as British Dependent Territories Citizen (BDTC), which later transitioned to British National (Overseas) [BN(O)]. These BN(O) statuses granted British nationality and passport rights, but crucially did not include the automatic Right of Abode to live and work in the United Kingdom. Bit different in the US I guess. Cross the border illegally, drop your bundle and bingo your kid's a US citizen. Pay lots of money and go for a holiday in the US. Drop your bundle and go home with your baby and bingo you now have a US citizen in your family. Absolutely insane.</description><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2026 13:50:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>UN Urges Southeast Asia to End Drug Criminalisation</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397661-un-urges-southeast-asia-to-end-drug-criminalisation/?do=findComment&comment=20580375]]></link><description>You didnt get iit...

Promenade hotel on soi 8 is an oldie goldie that  still provides a decent room in a great location at a good price.  Stable Lodge across street also has been around a long time with lot of repeat guests.  Actually there are lots of very old hotels that are still going on small sois etc.  Most have been renovated with better a/c tv's etc but still represent good value for the baht.
