New York woman pleads guilty to $30M investment scheme tied to political campaigns
A New York woman pleaded guilty on Wednesday in relation to a multi-year investment scheme, falsely promising investors permanent resident status in the U.S. and selling foreign investors access to American politicians, including President Trump. Sherry Xue Li, of Oyster Bay, N.Y., pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government by obstructing the Federal Election Commission's (FEC's) administration of campaign finance laws, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of New York. Li faced up to 20 years in prison and agreed to forfeit $31.5 million and property at three locations as part of her plea agreement. 'Li defrauded more than 150 victims in the United States and abroad through years of lies and deception and sought to profit by selling access to the democratic process. In doing so, she attempted to corrupt a fundamental institution in this country—fair and transparent elections free from unlawful foreign influence,' U.S. Attorney Nocella said in a statement. Li, along with her co-defendant Lianbo Wang, falsely promised foreign investors that by investing in a 'fictitious' development project called Thompson Education Center, they would be able to obtain lawful permanent residence through an EB-5 visa program. The duo defrauded investors of over $30 million, prosecutors said. Li and Wang 'siphoned off the money they fraudulently obtained from investors by transferring the funds through bank accounts held in the names of various companies that Li had created. Once the funds were in those accounts,' the pair used capital to pay for housing, jewelry, upscale dining, clothing and donate to U.S. politicians. The pair acted as so-called 'straw donors' for international investors to unlawfully donate to political campaigns and political action committees. They would promise access to lawmakers in exchange for a fee, according to prosecutors. The money they would gather would be utilized for political donations and they 'falsely identified themselves and other U.S. citizens as the contributors of the funds.' The pair charged 12 foreign nationals $93,000 per person to attend a fundraiser. Then they made $600,000 of political contributions in their own names to the committee that hosted the event, according to the criminal complaint. Trump's campaign was not accused of wrongdoing. 'Li, Wang, and their foreign national guests attended the June 28, 2017 Fundraiser and took photographs with the then-President of the United States [Donald Trump]. Li and Wang later used a photograph of Li and the President taken at the June 28, 2017 Fundraiser to solicit investments in the TEC Project,' U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of New York said in the press release.

Gov. Abbott Sounds Alarm: Nab Repeat Deportee For Grapevine Child Sex Crimes
Gov. Greg Abbott called to capture an illegal alien wanted in Grapevine for child sex assault, who had been deported multiple times. Jose Antonio Marquina-Bonilla, 33, is a Honduran illegal wanted in Grapevine for first-degree aggravated sexual assault of a child, as The Dallas Express previously reported. Abbott called for the public's help in finding the suspect on July 26. 'He is wanted for the alleged continuous sexual abuse of a young child,' Abbott posted to X. 'Help us capture this illegal immigrant and put him behind bars forever.' Marquina-Bonilla had been deported multiple times, most recently after an incident in Grapevine in October 2023. 'Following that deportation, Marquina-Bonilla returned to Texas and is believed to have started sexually abusing a young child in November 2024,' reads a release from the Texas Department of Public Safety. He stands 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 170 lbs. He is considered 'armed and dangerous.' Marquina-Bonilla is on the Texas DPS top-10 'Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants' list, as The Dallas Express previously reported. Texas Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of $5,000 for information leading to his arrest. U.S. Customs and Border Protection first arrested him in Texas in June 2016 for 'alien admissibility,' as The Dallas Express previously reported. Officers with the agency arrested him again in Arizona in 2016, and ICE deported him to Honduras. CBP found him yet again in California in January 2018, when they arrested him for 'alien removal.' The Grapevine Police Department then arrested Marquina-Bonilla in October 2023 for assault causing bodily injury to a family member, and he was convicted. ICE deported him to Honduras. Then, he returned to Texas. The Grapevine Police Department issued an arrest warrant for Marquina-Bonilla on June 16 for 'continuous sexual abuse of a young child.' 'Detectives have followed several investigative leads trying to find him, but so far have been unable to locate him,' said Amanda McNew, the department's media manager, said to The Dallas Express at the time. Investigators believed at that point he could have been hiding with family or friends in North Texas. Grapevine police are urging anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact Detective Velez by email at svelez@ or by phone at 817-410-3268. 'Most Wanted' Illegals In DFW Two other criminal illegals among Texas DPS' 'most wanted' also have ties to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Michael Yurit Zevallos Ramos, 42, is wanted in Dallas County for 'continuous' sex abuse of a child younger than 14, and 'indecency with a child' by sexual contact, according to Texas DPS. He is an illegal alien from Peru and was last seen south of Dallas in Lancaster. The Balch Springs Police Department arrested Ramos in October 2023 for 'indecency with a child by sexual contact, and the Dallas County Sheriff's Office arrested him again in May 2024 for continuous sex abuse of a child younger than 14. He stands 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 180 lbs. Angel Brahayan Guerrero-Gallegos is currently wanted in Fort Worth for two counts of 'indecency with a child by exposure,' as The Dallas Express previously reported. He is an illegal alien from Mexico and was last seen in Fort Worth. The Burleson Police Department initially arrested Guerrero-Gallegos in 2022 for assault causing bodily injury to a family member. He was given a year of probation in 2023. Then, the Johnson County Sheriff's Office, just south of Tarrant County, issued an arrest warrant in May 2024 for a probation violation. To be eligible for a reward, residents with information on the suspects can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-252-8477, submit a tip on the Texas DPS Facebook page, or submit a tip on the Texas DPS website.
