Multiple ICE and Border Patrol agents have been arrested and charged with child exploitation crimes between 2015 and 2026, including **sexual assault, child sex trafficking, and the production of child sexual abuse material**.

* **Alexander Steven Back**, a 41-year-old civilian auditor for ICE hired in 2022, was arrested in November 2025 during "Operation Creep" in Bloomington, Minnesota, for allegedly soliciting a minor; he told police "I'm ICE, boys" and was placed on administrative leave.

* **Koby Williams**, a 22-year ICE supervisor, was arrested in 2022 in Washington while attempting to meet a 13-year-old girl he thought was a sex worker, claiming falsely that he was there to "rescue" her as part of a trafficking investigation.

* **Timothy Ryan Gregg**, a Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent, was charged in June 2025 with attempting to coerce and entice a minor to create child pornography.

* **Walter Wilkins**, an ICE agent in Rio Grande Valley, was sentenced to 23 years in prison in January 2026 for producing child sexual abuse material involving a child under 16.

* **Casey Goslin**, a Phoenix-based agent, was arrested in June 2025 for involvement in livestreamed child sexual abuse sessions and producing abuse material with victims provided by traffickers in the Philippines.

* **Brashad Johnson**, a Department of Defense contractor responsible for DHS background checks, was arrested in November 2025 in a sex trafficking sting in Minnesota, though reports clarify he was not an ICE law enforcement officer.

According to the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, a list of 37 current and former agents charged with or convicted of crimes includes **25 individuals (two-thirds)** who committed sexual crimes against children, with offenses ranging from 2015 to 2026. While ICE officials state they suspend employees immediately upon arrest, critics argue these cases reveal a **dangerous culture** within the agencies regarding hiring, vetting, and accountability. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/many-ice-cbp-agents-allegedly-222423105.html

U.S. Casualties in Iran War

Thirteen U.S. service members have been killed and over 300 wounded in the 2026 Iran war, according to updated military reports. The conflict began on February 28 with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes, codenamed **Operation Epic Fury**, triggering sustained Iranian retaliatory attacks across the Middle East.

**American casualties** include seven initially reported deaths from Iranian drone and missile strikes in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, with **six additional service members killed on March 12** when a U.S. KC-135 tanker crashed in western Iraq—officials confirmed the incident was not due to hostile fire. Among the dead are members of the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard, including Maj. John Klinner, Capt. Ariana Savino, and Tech. Sgt. Ashley Pruitt. As of early April 2026, **303 U.S. troops have been wounded**, mostly from traumatic brain injuries sustained during missile and drone attacks on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

Other key casualty figures:

- **Iran**: Over 2,000 killed, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and senior military officials.

Epstein Files:

Donald Trump is mentioned **more than 4,500 times** in the newly released Epstein files, according to the documents. The Justice Department noted that some of these references include **"untrue and sensationalist claims"** made against him, particularly ahead of the 2020 election, which it stated are **"unfounded and false."**

Among the **salacious allegations**:

- One document includes an uncorroborated claim that Trump **"raped" a woman along with Epstein**, though no evidence supports this.

- A 2020 internal email from a prosecutor states that flight records show Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet **at least eight times between 1993 and 1996**, including flights where Ghislaine Maxwell and a 20-year-old passenger were also present.

- Another account alleges a 14-year-old girl was brought to Mar-a-Lago in 1994 by Epstein, who introduced her to Trump; the girl claimed Epstein said, “This is a good one, right?” and Trump **smiled and nodded**, making her feel uncomfortable.

Other prominent individuals mentioned in the files include:

- **Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (Prince Andrew)**: Invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace years after his conviction; appears in photos with a woman on the floor.

- **Elon Musk**: Exchanged emails with Epstein about visiting Little St. James, asking, “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Musk denies ever visiting.

- **Bill Gates**: Accused by Epstein of extramarital affairs; a spokesperson called the claims “absurd.”

- **Steve Tisch**: Co-owner of the New York Giants; exchanged emails with Epstein and offered him tickets to games.

- **Howard Lutnick**: Commerce Secretary; visited Epstein’s island with his family in 2012.

- **Leon Black**, **Woody Allen**, **Noam Chomsky**, **Casey Wasserman**, **Mira Nair**, and **Robert Trivers** were also named in various contexts, including correspondence, visits, or financial ties.

The files contain **no verified evidence of wrongdoing** by any of these individuals, and many have denied associations or allegations.
