[FoxNews] Washington men Jose Zendejas and Benito Madrigal classified 'low risk,' released despite $750,000 fentanyl seizure during traffic stop.
Two accused drug traffickers busted with 150,000 fentanyl pills during a California traffic stop last month failed to show in court Thursday after being released on cashless bail.
Defendants Jose Zendejas, 25, and Benito Madrigal, 19 — released on their own recognizance less than 24 hours after their arrest with the large stash of illicit drugs — were scheduled to appear for their arraignments at the Tulare County Courthouse in central California on Thursday morning, but failed both men failed to show.
The judge called for Zendejas and Madrigal — both from Washington state — who were not in court, and the warrant for their arrest continues.
The judge withdrew the prior $2 million bond and directed each be held without bond if they pop up.
Before Thursday, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said he did not expect the defendants to show up. He placed blame on the state’s soft-on-crime attitude and so-called criminal justice reform for a policy that allowed the two alleged drug traffickers to go free with nothing but a promise to come to court.
"I didn't learn about the order until it was far too late," Boudreaux previously told Fox News. "I couldn't believe we had 150,00 fentanyl pills — one of the most dangerous epidemics facing our nation today — with people in custody that we may potentially be able to impact the future of this type of drug trafficking organization… and we let them go."
"Although there is a need for a pre-trial release program, to do it covertly in the middle of the night in a very nontransparent matter is extremely dangerous," Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward told Fox News on Thursday outside the courthouse, referring to the court’s initial decision to release the defendants. "What we discovered here was that it was occurring based on a decision without any foundation of the facts of the case. And I think going forward, I think everyone is realizing that’s a mistake and should not continue."
"The problem is once again the legislature and the state of California are trying to go down some social experiment born on the back of law-abiding citizens," Ward said. "I go out on a limb and say that had these defendants been subject to the million bail that was in place when they were arrested, and they made bail based on that amount, they would have some skin in the game, some financial obligation and motivation to return to court."
California Highway Patrol officers pulled over the suspects’ vehicle on June 24 at approximately 7:30 p.m. near Highway 99 and Tulare Avenue and requested assistance from the Tulare County High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Unit (HIDTA), which found 150 packages, each package containing 1,000 fentanyl pills, inside.
Neither the district attorney nor the sheriff said they were consulted on the release.

They'll show up eventually. Likely with their head in a ziploc bag. Cartels don't like careless traffickers who have incentive to talk

Somebody may have figured that out, Frank. Perhaps one of the Cartel 'insiders' within the law enforcement community transmitted the where and when for the releases (but then I do go to the dark side in some of my thoughts).
Will save the state a bit of cash for incarceration, court costs, etc.

So a judge released Jose Zendejas, and Benito Madrigal based on their word as "honest citizens" that they would appear? But when they failed to show, then somehow the judge "withdrew a prior $2 million bond".
Was it a Virtual $2 Million bond ????
I guess someone in California needs to explain that one to me?
But given it is California, will Tulare County hold a abandoned property sale and sell the 150,000 fentanyl pills to the highest "Honest citizen"?

Frank is probably right, they lost alot of money.

They lost inventory not money. If 10 percent or less is found, the massive wave of the stuff that Biden has promoted cannot be actually be being consumed or every town in America would look like SF - the final goal. The soldiers are probably worth more to the drug lords than the raw materials. That said - if they try to run they are dead.

fwiw, this is a very Republican county
3 Republican Congressman split parts of this county (districts run into other counties)
Trump carried county by about 8% over Biden.
Judge is apparently just executing State 'low bail/no bail' law.
Also, the release of the Fentanyl mules was three weeks ago.
Wonder what is taking place behind the scene.

[DW] Mali's military junta has asked the front man of the UN peacekeeping mission, MINUSMA, to leave the country after he tweeted about the 49 Ivorian soldiers who were arrested in Mali.
Malian authorities on Wednesday ordered Olivier Salgado, the front man of the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... peacekeeping mission, MINUSMA, to leave the country within 72 hours.
The move comes after Mali's military government ordered the temporary suspension of troop rotations by MINUSMA.
Mali has been at odds with its neighbors since the military seized power in August 2020. The recent arrest of the Ivorian soldiers further increased tensions between Mali and its neighbor, Ivory Coast.
Mali claimed that the 49 Ivorian soldiers were "mercenaries" who sought to topple the country's junta. They were arrested after arriving at Bamako airport aboard a special flight.
In turn, Salgado said the soldiers were working for a German company contracted by MINUSMA.
A statement by the Malian Foreign Ministry said the expulsion was due to social media posts.
"This measure follows the series of contentious and unacceptable publications by the person assigned to social networks declaring, without any proof, that Malian authorities were informed ahead of time of the arrival of 49 Ivorian military soldiers,'' the ministry said.
The UN, meanwhile, said it "deeply regrets" the requested departure of Salgado, MINUSMA's deputy director of communications.
"It is important to note that the doctrine of persona non grata does not apply to United Nations personnel," deputy UN front man Farhan Haq told news hounds in New York.
WHAT IS MINUSMA?
MINUSMA, or the United Nations' Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali, was created in 2013 to help the West African nation cope with a bloody jihadi campaign.
Mali has been battling an Islamist insurgency that emerged after an uprising in 2012 and has since spread to neighboring countries, killing thousands and displacing millions across West Africa's Sahel region ... North Africa's answer to the Pak tribal areas... MINUSMA is one of the UN's biggest peacekeeping operations. According to the mission's website, it had 17,609 soldiers, police, civilians and volunteers deployed as of April this year.
But it's also one of the most dangerous operations, with dozens of casualties of MINUSMA personnel reported each year.
Egypt, MINUSMA's biggest single troop contributor, said last week it would "temporarily suspend" its participation in operations after seven of its soldiers were killed this year.
La Belle France and Germany have been involved in MINUSMA. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... Gay Paree announced earlier this year that it would withdraw its troops.
Berlin, on the other hand, is set to increase German participation in MINUSMA.
The EU is also involved in two training missions in Mali — the EUTM and the EUCAP — alongside MINUSMA, but the bloc is reducing its operations due to continued cooperation between Russian mercenaries and Mali's junta.
A very strange little story, indeed. Diplomacy is usually more ...diplomatic.
[IsraelTimes] Tehran’s representative in Baku says ’evil Zionist’ crossed ’red line’ by reading history book about Iranian city
Iran’s ambassador to Azerbaijan threatened Israel’s envoy to the country on Wednesday, telling the Israeli he would be "buried" for reading a book.
Israel’s ambassador in Baku, George Deek, had posted a picture of himself on Twitter reading a book called "Mysterious Tales of Tabriz."
Tabriz is a city in Iran, near its border with Azerbaijan, and is the capital of Iran’s East Azerbaijan Province. The majority of the residents are Azerbaijani and their language is predominant.
"I’m learning so much about Azerbaijani history and culture in Tabriz in this great book I was recently presented," Deek said. Deek, a Christian Israeli-Arab from Jaffa, is a longtime diplomat and spokesperson for Israel overseas.
Iran’s ambassador to Azerbaijan, Seyed Abbas Mousavi, responded by posting a screenshot of Deek reading the book and threatening the Israeli envoy.
"For the information of this adventurous boy: Our beloved [Tabriz] is known as the land of FIRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... TS in [Iran’s] proud history," Mousavi said.
"Apparently, the FIRST Evil Zionist is going to be buried by the zealous people of Tabriz, too. Never cross our red-line, ever!" he wrote. Mousavi is also a former foreign spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry.
Joshua Zarka, the Foreign Ministry’s deputy director-general, responded to Mousavi, saying on Twitter, "Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... threatens to kidnap Swedish citizens because of a terrorist put in jail, Iran’s Ambassabor to Azerbaijan threatens our’s for reading a book."
"This regime is bringing its country and people, including in Tabriz, to its worst level ever and triggers conflicts with everyone," Zarka said.
Iran and Azerbaijan are neighbors with long ties, but have clashed over Israel and other issues.
A secular, Moslem-majority state, Azerbaijan has long had warm relations with Jerusalem. Baku has bought billions of dollars of weapons from Israel and provided the Jewish state with oil.
Last year, Iran claimed Israel maintained a military presence in Azerbaijan, vowed to take action and staged military drills near its border with Azerbaijan, which denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! The two countries later smoothed over the standoff through dialogue.
Azerbaijan and Iran have also been at odds over Tehran’s backing of Armenia in the decades-long Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Armenia has accused Azerbaijan of deploying Israeli-made kamikaze drones in that conflict.
Tehran has long been wary of separatist sentiment among its ethnic Azerbaijani minority, who make up around 10 million of Iran’s 83 million population.
The ties between Israel and Azerbaijan date back to the break-up of the USSR in the early 1990s.
The two countries forged diplomatic and trade relations, as Israel sought to build bridges with Moslem countries and Azerbaijan was working to build new relationships beyond its traditional ties with Moscow.
Azerbaijan is home to a small Jewish community numbering in the thousands.

If you want to read people saying vile, uninformative things, Xyz, get there before a moderator sees it. We each poke our heads in at various times during the day, but nobody has time to babysit.
It’s not about you not being permitted to read it, it’s that we are not interested in wasting Fred’s server memory on such things, and letting it call out to others on the internet searching for more of the same.

It's a civilization thing. It's not the pooping so much, but the fact that they insist pooping right here in the parlor while we're trying to have a conversation.
Appreciation for the people doing the housekeeping!
Pakistain on Thursday strongly condemned India for implicating Jammu Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Yasin Malik ...chairman of one of the two factions of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front. JKLF is a Kashmiri nationalist organization founded in Birmingham, UK in 1977. Branches weren't actually established in Kashmir for another ten years. It has the usual demands for separation of J&K from secular India so it can become an independent Islamic rathole. It seems to have no interest in Pak Kashmir breaking away to join it. In 1994 Malik renounced violence after he was released from jail and from that point he and his organization pursued peaceful means to impose their will on the region... in two more "three decades old fictitious cases in a clear attempt to politically victimise him and forcing him to observe hunger strike unto death".
In a statement, the Foreign Office said Malik was already serving a life sentence awarded to him after a "sham trial" by an Indian court on May 25, 2022.
"Yasin Malik is also being denied the right of personal appearance in the ongoing trial, in complete contravention of legal and democratic norms," the FO regretted.
The statement said India had employed judiciary as a tool to damage the morale of Kashmiris by subjecting their leadership to "flagrant prejudice".
The FO pointed out that Malik, having been left with no legal recourse, eventually took the "desperate decision of going on a hunger strike unto death from July 22, 2022."
The inhuman incarceration of Malik, his sham trials under fabricated cases, his fallacious conviction and the malfeasant attempts at defiling the legitimate struggle of the Kashmiris for their right to self-determination as "terrorism" is nothing but further corroboration of India’s known credentials of being a serial violator of human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. , the FO said.
"The Kashmiris’ struggle for the right of self-determination is indigenous and cannot be dampened by the draconian strong-arm tactics of the Indian government."

[OneIndia] There has been a substantial decline in terrorist attacks from 2018 to 2021, Union Minister Nityanand Rai informed the Rajya Sabha ...After the Libyan Civil War, Sabha grew in importance as a slave auctioning town. However, an investigation by the National Commission for Human Rights in Libya (NCHRL) revealed that while there was illegal slavery, reports were exaggerated, as slave auctions were rare and not made public. This was a great comfort to everyone but the slaves peddled in secret. The city was later seized by forces loyal to the Libyan National Army (LNA) and its leader Khalifa Haftar in January 2019, probably for its collection of MiG-25 aircraft.... on Wednesday.
In a written reply to Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, Rai said the Central government has a "policy of zero tolerance against terrorism and the security situation has improved significantly in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... The incidents of terrorist attacks also decreased significantly since 2018 in Jammu and Kashmir. A total of 229 terrorist attacks were reported in 2021; 244 in 2020; 255 in 2019; and 417 in 2018, the Minister of State for Home Affairs said.
In these attacks in the Union Territory, Rai said a total of 42 security force personnel were killed in 2021. Before that, 62 security personnel were killed in 2020, 80 in 2019 and 91 in 2018.
A total of 41 non-combatants were killed in 2021, following 37 in 2020 and 39 each in 2019 as well as 2018, he noted.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact... the incidents of Naxal
..they're the Maoists...
violence reduced by 77 per cent from all-time high of 2,258 in 2009 to 509 in 2021, Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai told the Rajya Sabha.
While giving a written reply to the query of Congress MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh, Rai said "The steadfast implementation of the 'national policy and action plan to address Left Wing Extremism (LWE) 2015 has resulted in a consistent decline in LWE violence".
"The incidents of LWE violence have reduced by 77 per cent from all-time high of 2,258 in 2009 to 509 in 2021. Similarly, the resultant deaths (civilians and security forces) have reduced by 85 per cent from all-time high of 1,005 in 2010 to 147 in 2021," the Minister said.
[IsraelTimes] The Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... rules that the state can revoke the citizenship of those who carry out terror attacks and commit other actions that constitute breach of trust against the State of Israel.
The court rules that carrying out terror attacks, actions that constitute treason, severe espionage, or acquiring citizenship with the right for permanent residency in an enemy state would constitute this kind of breach of trust.
The ruling states that citizens who carry out such actions can have their citizenship revoked even if they have no other citizenship, but said that the interior minister would then be obligated to provide that person with a residency permit.
Right-wing politicians warmly welcome the ruling. Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman says that a situation in which citizens can "commit cruel acts of terrorism [and] hold Israeli citizenship is intolerable" and he praises the court for "ending this absurdity."
[IsraelTimes] Move to build trench across 20 kilometers in Judean Desert comes after several terror attacks committed by Paleostinians who slipped through fence earlier this year
The Israel Defense Forces on Thursday announced it had launched a major engineering operation to strengthen defenses along the security barrier with the West Bank, following several terror attacks earlier this year that were committed by Paleostinians who easily managed to cross the existing security fence.
The IDF said 60 engineering vehicles and three battalions, led by the commander of the military’s Combat Engineering Corps, Brig. Gen. Ido Mizrahi, were working to build a barrier in the Judean Desert area of the West Bank.
The plan included digging a deep trench over some 20 kilometers (12 miles) to prevent the passage of people and vehicles.
Five kilometers of the trench have already been dug and another seven-and-a-half kilometers have been prepared, in coordination with the Nature and Parks Authority and the Israel Antiquities Authority, the IDF said.
The military said in a statement that the work has already led to a "significant decrease in the number of illegal infiltrations into Israeli territory."
"Along with forces in the area, we are protecting an area that several months ago was totally open," said the engineering commander of the IDF’s Central Command, Col. Ido Journo. "I believe this plan will prevent the passage of [people for] terror attacks as well as criminal activity."
Last month, the Defense Ministry began to upgrade a section of the barrier in the northern West Bank, and in April, the IDF began to patch up holes in other areas of the fence.
The work began following a spate of deadly terror attacks between mid-March and the beginning of May, including several in which Lions of Islam from the northern West Bank entered Israel via large holes in the barrier.
On April 7, a Paleostinian gunman — who entered Israel through a gap in the barrier — rubbed out three people in Tel Aviv. A week earlier, a Paleostinian who also crossed through the barrier illegally — with a vehicle — shot and killed five people in Bnei Brak. And on May 5 in Elad, two Paleostinians who entered Israel illegally killed three people in an ax attack.
"The construction at the barrier is a clear example of the development of our capabilities. The project was established with the goal of reducing the number of illegal infiltrations into Israel. By working on the barrier, we thwart terrorist attacks," IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi said in remarks provided by the military.
"Our mission is that there will be zero terrorist attacks, and we will continue to operate as needed to stop this wave of terror and complete the mission," he said.
In recent years, thousands of Paleostinians had been entering Israel every day through the gaps in the fence for work.
But in recent months, the IDF has dispatched thousands of troops to the seam zone area — a swath of West Bank land on the Israeli side of the barrier — to prevent Paleostinians from crossing into Israel.
The West Bank security barrier was first proposed in the 1990s by then-prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, who saw it as a way to separate Israel from the Paleostinians. But the project never materialized due to internal opposition.
It was only during the Second Intifada, as Israel fought waves of suicide kabooms and other terrorist attacks emanating from the West Bank, that the idea was revived and kicked into high gear.
Many credit the barrier with helping end that uprising, which lasted from 2000 to 2005, though of its planned 708-kilometer (440-mile) route, only 62 percent has been completed.
The security barrier did not come without controversy, as the fence sparked local demonstrations and international condemnation over its route, snaking into the West Bank through seized Paleostinian fields and sometimes cutting off farmers from their land.
About 85% of the barrier runs within the West Bank, with the remaining 15% running along the Green Line — the pre-1967 ceasefire line that delineates Israel from the West Bank — and within Israeli territory. In total, the barrier is estimated to have cost the country some NIS 9 billion ($2.8 billion) according to the Knesset Research and Information Center.
For most of its route, the barrier consists of a chain-link fence equipped with surveillance cameras and other sensors, buffered by barbed wire and a 60-meter (200-foot) wide exclusion area. In more urban areas — including around Jerusalem and Bethlehem — the barrier is not a fence but an eight- to nine-meter (26- to 30-foot) high concrete wall.
[IsraelTimes] The Saudi-sponsored London-based TV channel Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... International claims Israel’s Mossad spy agency captured a senior member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Iranian territory, interrogated him and had him confess "to his role in sending weapons to other countries."
The channel’s report on Yadollah Khedmati cannot be verified and its sourcing is unclear.
Eventually we’ll be informed. Or not, as the case may be — but in the meantime, isn’t it fun to think it’s true!

Saudi-sponsored London-based TV channel Iran International...
Eh? Why would the Saudis sponsor... wait, isn't that a good thing?
#6
Skidmark’s Jerusalem Post link is full of juicy goodness from the same single source:
Video recorded from the interrogation and obtained by Iran International showed Khedmati confirming his role in the Logistics Wing of the IRGC and admitting that he had been in contact with Ali Asghar Nowrozi, an IRGC Quds Force official who has been identified by the IDF as responsible for transferring precision weapon components from Iran to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Khedmati expressed regret for his operations sending weapons to Iranian proxies and asked his colleagues not to conduct such operations, according to the report. Khedmati is Nowrozi's deputy in the Logistics Wing. The IRGC official was reportedly released and allowed to return home safely after the interrogation.
The Iranian Student News Network (SNN) reported in June that a number of Iranians who had kidnapped and interrogated an unnamed IRGC official had been arrested.
Sources for Iran International stated that during the interrogation of Khedmati, information was obtained about Norozi's relationship with Fars Air Qeshm for transporting weapons.
In June, a Venezuelan cargo plane that had been purchased from the Iranian Mahan Air was detained in Argentina after Iranian citizens were found on the aircraft, including Gholamreza Ghasemi who has been linked in the past with the Quds Force’s Unit 190 and has been identified by the FBI as the CEO of Fars Air Qeshm.
The recent complaint that Mossad is running freely around Iran seems to be supported by all this. A worse nightmare even than the spy squirrels that were previously keeping the Mullahs up at night.
[NPASYRIA] Russia and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... marginalized, during Tehran’s summit on July 19, Ottoman Turkish potential military operation against north Syria, and thus The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... failed to obtain a green light to launch the military operation, political analyst and legal counsel, Ra’ouf al-Ali, from Aleppo Governorate, said Thursday.
The final statement of the Russian-Iranian-Ottoman Turkish tripartite summit in Tehran summarized the three countries’ determination to continue cooperation to eliminate terrorism and preserve Syrian territorial integrity.
The Tehran’s trilateral summit brought president of Iran Turkey and Russia together with the Syrian issue on the top of its agenda.
"Ottoman Turkish forces has not made any move until they obtain a go-ahead from its region’s allies, Russia and Iran, which have not granted Turkey, in turn, a sign of yes to move inside Syrian territory," al-Ali told North Press.
This indicates, according to the political analyst, "The Russian-Iranian marginalization of the military operation comes at a time when Turkey is seeking to implement its plans and move without any interference or support from any international party."
He believes that Turkey had knew the results of Tehran summit in advance, through recent changes that took place on the ground, and the agreement between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to defend and protect Syrian territorial integrity.
