government's motion to dismiss the case without prejudice Villatoro Santos was charged with being in the U.S ICE officials previously stated that Villatoro Santos had received legal work authorization No reason for revoking Villatoro Santos work visa was given The Justice Department had filed the motion in the federal court in Alexandria where Villatoro Santos was ordered to remain in federal custody after his arrest in Dale City on March 27 Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have alleged that Villatoro Santos oversees East Coast activities for the MS-13 gang The federal prosecutor did not mention evidence in the April 1 hearing that proves Villatoro is a top MS-13 gang leader ICE officials claim that Villatoro Santos entered the U.S illegally in 2014 when he was around 13 or 14 years old He was apprehended at the Texas-Mexico border and placed in a juvenile detention center before being brought to Manassas Villatoro Santos being unlawfully deported by ICE without due process and removed to El Salvador where he would almost certainly be immediately detained at one of the worst prisons in the world without any right to contest his removal is substantial," said a portion of the defense's filing "The examples of the Government depriving immigrants of basic due process have become plentiful," the defense filing continued "In its rush to prove to the American public that this administration is tough on crime and immigration enforcement the Government wrongfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia despite a court order finding that he is likely to face persecution if removed to El Salvador." 7News has reached out to ICE to see if Villatoro Santos is still in ICE's custody This story will be updated when they respond Prospect De Los Santos making speedy progressApril 27th Like many kids growing up in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Marlins No.

Dorante Jr If De Los Santos continues to perform at Triple-A Jacksonville, that time should come soon enough – just like it recently did for Marlins No. 4 prospect Agustín Ramírez After opening the

League home run (40) and RBIs (120) leader with time spent at both the Double-A and Triple-A levels “That's something that I felt motivated and I did what I know what to do same thing I've been doing

baseball who have this kind of power He hit 40 home runs in a Minor League season He did it as one of the youngest players in Double-A and in Triple-A and he also has some clear flaws to his game “He knows that he needs to work on his pitch selection he knows that he needs to work on his plate discipline So it's about how quickly can we make those adjustments When the Marlins optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville after just six Grapefruit League games that was the organization’s message before he joined Minor League camp De Los Santos has shown progress staying in the zone with his swing decisions De Los Santos had 13 strikeouts and six walks “We forget this guy's 21 years old,” manager Clayton McCullough said and he's gotten to the upper levels in rapid fashion because of his ability The strike zone discipline and then challenge him on the defensive end to continue to appreciate every part of your game and the importance that it plays -- not just what happens in the

He will be added to Sporting’s roster pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate prior to the close of Major League Soccer’s Primary Transfer Window on Wednesday.

Remorseful?The length of Santos' sentence was expected to be determined based on whether he was remorseful for his actions Santos' attorneys had asked for the two-year minimum sentence set in law, citing his guilty plea in August 2024 to felony wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges he tearfully admitted at a prior hearing to filing false campaign finance reports charging donors’ credit cards without authorization and fraudulently receiving unemployment benefits among other acts that began years before he ran for Congress livid group of former constituents who surrounded his SUV saying he'd destroyed their faith in government He and his attorneys did not speak to reporters Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly who contributed to the federal investigation called Santos "the polar opposite of what a public servant should be." unconcerned with his constituents and self interested in every way," Donnelly told reporters "Designer clothes were more important to him than following the rule of law; luxury more important to him than the oath he took to serve his country and the people who elected him they got an empty man in an empty designer suit financed by fraud a man who to this day is not truly remorseful for his actions." Prosecutors specifically pointed to an April 4 post on X they are mad because they will NEVER break my spirit."

Though the North Shore Leader unearthed discrepancies with Santos’s financial disclosures prior to the election it wasn’t until he secured his victory that fall that more questions began to surface about his past What emerged was a seemingly endless wave of falsehoods: lies about Santos’s employment history and even the cause of his own mother’s death Deeper still were the inconsistencies with Santos’s campaign finances and his net worth including reports of dubious contributions The 23 total counts against Santos ranged from wire fraud aggravated identity theft to making false statements to the Federal Election Commission “But saying I’m sorry doesn’t require me to sit quietly while these prosecutors try to drop an anvil on my head.” I believe that also the president is aware of my situation I don’t think I need to petition him if he feels like I am worthy of a commutation or of clemency or whatever the case is,” he said “He can make that decision without me having to put a spectacle on television By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice and to receive email correspondence from us Password must be at least 8 characters and contain: you’ll receive occasional updates and offers from New York Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application She was the beloved wife of the late Felisbelo “Phil” L she was a daughter of the late Ceasar and Maria Gloria (Rose) Santos Bella was the sister of the late Emily (Santos) Booker She is survived by her niece Lori Russo of Johnston CA as well as many other nieces and nephews Funeral from the NARDOLILLO FUNERAL HOME & Crematory 2025 at 10:00am followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00am in St VISITING HOURS will be held on Tuesday morning from 9:00 – 10:00 am This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors Gothamist is funded by sponsors and member donations George Santos was sentenced Friday to more than seven years in prison according to federal prosecutors — roughly what they argued would be fair Santos sobbed as the judge handed down his sentence at federal court in Long Island “I offer my deepest apologies,” he said, according to the outlet attorney for the Eastern District of New York said at a press conference following the proceeding that Santos was being held accountable for “blatant corruption” that targeted innocent constituents and supporters in New York’s 3rd Congressional District “Santos’ victims were real people and they suffered real losses,” said Durham “Today’s sentence demonstrates that this egregious conduct will not and never will be tolerated.” said Santos’ behavior amounted to “an empty man in an empty designer suit In addition to serving 87 months in federal prison Santos will have to pay more than $370,000 in restitution that will go directly to those victims The ex-lawmaker will also forfeit more than $200,000 — money that the government determined Santos illegally amassed Santos said he would ask to serve prison time in solitary confinement because he fears for his safety “I take full responsibility for bad actions I've made, and I regret that,” Santos said Thursday night on “The Matt Gaetz Show.” “I don't know what would be fair but I know seven years [in prison] is pretty out there Prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York said earlier this month that they were seeking a prison sentence of 87 months for Santos as a way to “protect the public” from being cheated by him again “Santos’ conduct has made a mockery of our election system,” they wrote in a filing “From his creation of a wholly fictitious biography to his callous theft of money from elderly and impaired donors Santos’ unrestrained greed and voracious appetite for fame enabled him to exploit the very system by which we select our representatives.” Santos told former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, also a Republican, that prosecutors were trying to “drop an anchor” on his head by requesting so much prison time. In his own court filings, he asked the court for two years “I am allowed to make an application for protective custody because of who I am,” Santos said Thursday Santos was formally expelled from Congress after a House ethics committee found “substantial evidence” of misconduct and illegal activity he conceded he had deceived political donors and stolen the identities of nearly a dozen people Santos told the New York Times in a recent interview that he was “totally resigned” to the possibility of spending 87 months in prison. On social media, he has been counting down the days until his sentencing “Soon,” he tweeted early Friday Santos said Thursday that he had not directly asked President Donald Trump for a pardon, even though Trump has pardoned some other politicians in similar circumstances. “I do hope that hopefully he takes a look at me, too,” Santos said.
