Convicted Sex Offender Accused of Murder: A Florida man, who authorities say cut off his court-ordered GPS monitoring device, has been arrested for the recent murder of a woman and the sexual assault of her 10-year-old daughter.  The Associated Press reports that 34-year-old Donald Davidson, a convicted sex offender, was arrested early Tuesday morning after police say he was caught driving the dead woman's vehicle.  Davidson was recently released from prison after serving a four-year sentence for child molestation. 

Appeals Court Halts Execution: A federal appeals court in New Orleans has halted the execution of a Texas man that was scheduled to take place later today.  David Montgomery of the New York Times reports that the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals postponed the execution of 56-year-old Scott Panetti in order to allow more time to consider issues surrounding the case, particularly whether Panetti's mental illness disqualifies him from execution.  Panetti was sentenced to death for the 1992 murders of his wife's parents.  Had the execution gone as planned, he would have become the 11th person executed by the state of Texas in 2014. 

Convicted Murderers Caught Sneaking Across U.S. Border: Border Patrol agents have arrested two convicted murderers after the pair attempted to illegally cross the border on November 24.  Kristin Tate of Breitbart reports that the two men, who happen to be brothers, were convicted of first-degree murder in Illinois and each served between six and ten years before being deported back to Mexico.

Another example of the lies Obama and Holder have foisted upon the public regarding the security of our borders. In effect, there is no such thing as a secure deportation of anyone back to Mexico or any other Central American country as there is little to stop a deportee from reentering if he so chooses. There was another recent report of 2 Turkish men with terrorist ties who crossed the border and were later released from Immigration Custody.

Under Obama's leadership, we have a border that is structurally insecure and a demoralized Border Patrol Service who are unable to perform the jobs they were sworn to do because of Obama's executive edicts.
