Radical leftist ideology at state-run Stagville | Honduran illegal charged with road rage murder was released into country by feds? | Anti-Trump threat lead to pipe bomb hoax at Raleigh police station
No. 181 — Jun. 14-Jun. 20, 2026
Court documents filed ahead of the trial for a Honduran illegal alien charged with a road rage murder last year reveal that the federal government released him into the interior of the country to live in North Carolina in 2018 when he snuck his minor son across the Southern border, despite being previously caught and removed when crossing illegally in 2014. Once in the country, he allegedly skipped his immigration check-ins, conspired with a family member to obtain a vehicle to drive unlicensed, illegally obtained two firearms, and shot a fellow driver on I-40 in Wake County.
A Georgia man is facing state and federal charges for bringing a hoax “pipe bomb” to a Raleigh police station after making threats to kill President Trump.
June isn’t the wokest month by happenstance, it’s actively promoted by our government institutions. Case in point, the state-run historical site at the Stagville plantation in rural Durham County, where the works of far-left racial activists are sold and the guides teach that “no enslaver can do anything good.”

A Spanish-speaking Honduran illegal alien charged with murdering a fellow motorist in Wake County last year had been released into the country to reside in North Carolina in 2018 due to detention overcrowding after being caught crossing illegally with his minor son, despite having been previously deported in 2014, according to federal court documents.
Josue Alejandro Quintanilla-Reyes, 34, of Honduras, has been now charged federally with possessing a firearm while being illegally and unlawfully present in the United States.
According to the accompanying affidavit, when Quintanilla-Reyes had been caught near the southern border in May 2014, he admitted that he had crossed the border illegally as a Honduran national without authorization to enter, and was removed from the country.
Four years later, in April 2018, Quintanilla-Reyes was once again caught by Border Patrol near the same location he had previously crossed the border illegally, this time with his “minor son” in tow. Despite admitting once again to being a Honduran who had entered the country without permission to enter, Quintanilla-Reyes and his son were released into the interior of the country on an order of supervision due to “insufficient detention space” for the pair.
Although Quintanilla-Reyes showed up for his first check-in at the ICE office in Charlotte in 2018, he failed to report in 2019, leading to him being classified as an “immigration fugitive.”
Quintanilla-Reyes was still in North Carolina, residing in a Durham apartment, when he allegedly murdered Ricardo Baez Cardenas, 35, in an early morning road rage shooting on I-40 East near North Harrison Avenue exit on March 7, 2025, which was caught on camera.
According to the federal affidavit, Quintanilla-Reyes admitted several facts relevant to the charges: that he possessed at least two firearms (which were found in a search of his apartment), that he discharged his Glock 23 in the I-40 incident, and that cleaned his vehicle and disposed of the broken glass/shell casings after the shooting.
The video shows the sedan continued down the highway after the driver shot out his own passenger’s side window, while the victim’s truck veered off the road, where it struck the guardrail; the driver was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
According to search warrants, state investigators were able to track the vehicle in the video to Quintanilla-Reyes’ cousin, Vilma Patricia Navarro Tejada, who admitted that she had allowed Quintanilla-Reyes’ vehicle to be registered in her name because he did not possess a driver’s license. Tejada does not appear to have been charged.
Although Quintanilla-Reyes has indicated his intent to make a self-defense argument at trial, which is set to begin on June 29, the Wake County District Attorney’s Office plans to use the evidence of his immigration status and firearm status to prove that Quintanilla-Reyes was committing a felony at the time of the shooting, which would bar any justification for use of defensive force by Quintanilla-Reyes under NC GS § 14‑51.4(1).
A search of the victim’s vehicle did reveal a handgun of his own as well as less than an ounce of marijuana.

Christopher Key-Torrion Carnes, 33, now faces both federal and state charges after fooling Raleigh Police with a PVC pipe he brought to a meeting with investigators at a Raleigh Police substation over making bomb threats against the president.
According to a federal affidavit, the Secret Service became aware of Facebook posts made by Carnes on his “Yage Sinbad Genie” page in May and June in which he made statements such as “Donald J, Trump, I’m going to kill you,” “the Government knows I have a live bomb in my car,” and “I want to tell you, Muslims like blowing up s--t” while demonstrating objects in his car which he claimed were a pipe bomb and detonator. (A review of the page shows numerous videos in which Carnes incoherently rants to the camera.)
When Raleigh Police and SS agents initially met with Carnes in May, he reportedly told them that he had been living out of his car since travelling to Raleigh from Georgia a few weeks prior, and that he was trying to get the attention of higher level government officials about some matter which he purportedly had knowledge of.
On June 10, Carnes brought his vehicle to the Raleigh Police Northeast District substation where he was detained for acting “erratically.” Although a bomb-sniffing dog alerted the police to potential explosive material in the vehicle, the RPD Bomb Squad located the alleged “PVC Blaster” and determined that it was an inert piece of pipe.
Carnes was charged by Raleigh police with two counts of perpetrating a hoax by use of a false bomb at a public building (NC GS § 14‑69.2(c)), a Class H felony.
Carnes has also been charged federally with one count of communicating a threat against the president of the United States (18 USC. §871(a)), which carries a maximum sentence of five years.
State government promotes radical leftist ideology at Durham plantation
For Juneteenth, Durham’s historic Stagville shines light on the past - ABC11
In 2017, President Donald Trump was pooh-poohed by the mainstream media and mainstream historians for suggesting that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would be next on the chopping block after the growing iconoclasm of Confederate statues.
Nearly 10 years later, that is not too far off from the exact ideology promoted at the state-run Historic Stagville site in rural Durham County.
To be clear, we’re not merely talking about the mainstream media coverage of the site’s celebration of “Juneteenth,” a niche holiday catapulted into national prominence by the Black Lives Matter movement as a “Black Independence Day.”
We’re also not merely talking about the site’s gift shop, most prominently featuring “The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story” by Nicole Hannah-Jones among material from a similar race-based leftist perspective. (At least as of last June, when I visited based on a tip regarding the extreme left-wing interpretation at the site.)
The ultimate conclusion to such an ideology was most explicitly laid out in the guided tour, which skipped the main house to focus exclusively on the slave experience and used the often inaccurate (but leftist-preferred) term of “enslaver,” even applied to a disabled child.
When asked about why the surviving slave quarters are relatively well-built and spacious, the guide cycled through a few possible explanations before concluding with the axiom that benevolence on the part of the plantation owners could not have possibly been the reason because, to paraphrase, “no enslaver can do anything good.”
If the North Carolina government is promoting no enslaver can do anything good, the logical conclusion is that George Washington did nothing good, Thomas Jefferson did nothing good, the Constitution and the founding of America was not good, etc.
