New York City DSA Official Accused of Being a Fraud – Humble Immigrant Backstory a Total Fabrication

Gustavo Gordillo is the New York City co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). He has an interesting backstory but it is all falling apart as people have dug into his background.

Gordillo was in the news recently when it was revealed that he lives in a Brooklyn home worth more than a million that his wealthy parents bought for him.

Is anything about this guy real?

The New York Post reports:

NYC DSA boss Gustavo Gordillo’s humble immigrant backstory in question — after caught faking address, job

NYC socialist honcho Gustavo Gordillo’s web of lies is unraveling fast after getting caught faking his address, his job, and apparently now — his own family’s immigration story.

Gordillo, 38, recently said his parents were poor immigrants from Peru.

“My parents came here, they had nothing,” he told the New York Times in a profile piece earlier this month, before lying in a follow-up article about living in a Crown Heights rental.

“Their first jobs were in fast food and cleaning houses. They built success in this country. And they’re absolutely the exception.”

But an unearthed 2021 obituary about his paternal grandfather, Manuel Gordillo — the first of the family to move to the US –paints a considerably different picture of the family’s American roots.

“Manuel earned a medical degree from San Marcos University in Lima, Peru, and emigrated to the US in 1958 as a medical resident,” it reads.

“He obtained his US citizenship in 1964. He built a long and respected career as a psychiatrist in the Cleveland area and reluctantly retired at 87 years old!”…

Public records show only one Gustavo Gordillo married to a woman named Elizabeth in the US. The DSA co-chair’s parents live in Miami, where his father, an engineer, founded a $90 million telecommunications firm.

He’s a phony.

It looks like he is just another rich kid cosplaying as a communist revolutionary.

“They Called Me a Liar”: Now Trump Goes After Letitia James and Her Property Valuation Agenda

 Letitia James, the attorney general in New York, brought a civil case against President Donald Trump for his business deals. She claimed he falsified the valuations of his properties to get better terms and make more money.

During the trial, lenders testified all the loans they made to Trump had been repaid on terms they liked, and they’d be happy to do business with him again.

Irrelevant, said James and leftist Democrat Judge Arthur Engoron, who later was investigated for apparently violating judicial norms by talking to outsiders about the Trump case. The statements were misleading. Pay nearly half a billion dollars, Mr. President.

Of course the penalty was thrown out on appeal almost immediate but James, who later was indicted for mortgage fraud herself, has continued to try to have them reinstated.

Now Trump’s lawyers are contending that she has refused to follow court requirements in the case, even though she says she has.

A report at Fox News reports they have charged that the case is riddled with errors and James may have key evidence she hasn’t turned over, such as communications with Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen.

He also was a key witness for the prosecution against Trump in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s criminal case against Trump – business expense reporting violations – and recently recanted his testimony. He previously was convicted of perjury.

“In a letter filed with the New York Supreme Court on Thursday, Trump’s representation is arguing that James failed to comply with a court order that required her to present ‘the preservation practices’ and ‘its preservation efforts,’” the report said.

“In seeking the discovery, defendants rely on a January 16, 2026 article by Cohen, published on the online platform Substack in which he asserted that, in meetings with lawyers from [James’s] office, he had ‘felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government’s desire to build the cases against and secure a judgement and convictions against President Trump,” a court filing reads.

The claim was that Trump routinely misrepresented the value of his properties. The judge is requiring the parties disclose relevant information and James must detail the process to maintain and preserve evidence, the report said.

“[New York Attorney General’s Office] also carefully avoids representing one way or the other whether any requested materials in fact exist, and, if they do, whether NYAG has confirmed that they are being preserved,” they charged. “Instead of actually complying with the Order, NYAG has simply recited in general terms that her ‘standard litigation hold procedures’ have been in place since the investigation phase of this matter.”

James’ civil case against Trump was in 2022, and the judge found Trump “liable” and ordered a $355 million penalty plus interest.

That financial penalty was vacated by an appeals courts, and Trump’s lawyers contend the case is so rife with errors it should be thrown out, but James is demanding the penalties be reinstated.

Trump’s lawyers have claimed James lacked authority to bring the case, since the transactions were private, and between agreeing parties, and the valuations were subjective estimates and lenders did their own calculations,

“The only supposed ‘victims’ here are a handful of ultrasophisticated banks and insurers that have never claimed to be injured, were eager to do business with President Trump and his family, and made over $100 million from these transactions,” the appeal states.

BREAKING: Trump says Michael Cohen has full RECANTED testimony against him in New York witch hunt cases

President Trump just revealed that Michael Cohen, his former attorney, has fully recanted his testimony against him in the New York State Attorney General and Manhattan DA witch hunt cases. Cohen claimed he was pressured and coerced to give false testimony against Trump, who is now praising Cohen over his act of bravery.

Here’s what Trump said:

I am pleased to report that Michael Cohen, the Prosecution’s Star Witness and, in actuality, only Witness in the New York State Attorney General and Manhattan DA Witch Hunt Cases brought against me, has just fully RECANTED his testimony. He was “pressured” and “coerced” to say things that were not true.

I would like to thank Michael for having the Wisdom and Courage to step forward and do the right thing! His Act of Bravery is a Great Credit to the Justice System in New York City and State. I am sure it was not easy for him!

Now we are asking that any remnant of those Politically Weaponized Cases against me be immediately terminated and dismissed. Their Star Witness said everything they did was WRONG and UNLAWFUL! Letitia James and Alvin Bragg broke the Law in order to do this in order to prevent me from becoming the President of the United States. Such a thing can never be allowed to happen again! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The witch hunt was real, and hopefully these cases will be quickly dismissed. But justice won’t be done until both James and Bragg are prosecuted and punished for this.

Parts of 1986 report on Nazis in Canada must be made public, court rules

This follows years of attempts to obtain an uncensored version of the 1986 study, which examined the circumstances under which alleged Nazi war criminals and collaborators came to Canada after WW2

"We deserve the opportunity to learn from our past and to come to terms with the shortcomings of Canada," said B'nai Brith Canada's Richard Robertson. 

A 618-page report from 1986 examining the postwar arrival in Canada of those alleged of Nazi war crimes still hasn’t been fully declassified, but certain segments must now be made public, according to a recent Federal Court ruling.

In a 21-page ruling issued Tuesday, Justice Simon Fothergill said the public interest in preserving the historical record, the many decades that have passed and the weakness of the government’s reasons for continued secrecy all weighed in favour of increased disclosure of historian Alti Rodal’s report.

“We deserve the opportunity to learn from our past and to come to terms with the shortcomings of Canada,” Richard Robertson, B’nai Brith Canada’s Director of Research and Advocacy said.

The decision follows years of attempts to obtain an uncensored version of the study, Nazi War Criminals in Canada: The Historical and Policy Setting from the 1940s to the Present, commonly called the Rodal Report.

Prepared for the Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals in Canada — the Deschênes Commission — the report examined the circumstances under which alleged Nazi war criminals and collaborators came to Canada after the Second World War. Although substantial parts of the previously unpublished study have become public, significant passages remained concealed.

Rodal concluded that weak screening procedures enabled some perpetrators of Nazi crimes to enter Canada.

Robertson told the National Post that it was his organization’s advocacy that pushed the case, as it was in February 2024, when Library and Archives Canada released new segments in response to an access-to-information request from B’nai Brith. The release revealed numerous passages that had previously been censored, but redactions remained on seven pages in one section and in RCMP file references contained in 14 endnotes.

The contents of newly declassified materials are as yet unknown, he said.

The still-withheld section concerned Canadian officials’ 1954 discovery of a covert U.S. intelligence initiative that allegedly helped Nazis and Nazi collaborators settle in Canada while bypassing normal security procedures.

Library and Archives Canada argued that the withheld text was protected by section 15(1)(a) of the Access to Information Act, which permits the government to refuse disclosure where release could harm Canada’s international relations. It also relied on section 13 for one passage: a U.S. official’s assessment of American immigration law that Canada had allegedly received in confidence from the United States.

The agency also withheld RCMP file numbers under section 15(1)(d)(ii), which covers intelligence information whose release could undermine efforts to detect, prevent, or suppress subversive or hostile activity.

Justice Fothergill dismissed all but one of Library and Archives Canada’s exemption arguments. He found that the institution had not established that releasing information of clear historical importance would, today, damage Canada’s international relations or national security.

Greater public knowledge of the country’s past, he added, promotes informed discussion and reinforces democratic life.

The judge allowed the continued withholding of the quoted U.S. official’s remarks under section 13, because the material had been received from a foreign government in confidence. Still, he described the contents as apparently “innocuous” and said Canada should continue seeking U.S. permission to disclose them.

“Frankly, I think the opening of the report, if that actually happens any time soon, is a non-event. There’s likely nothing in the report that’s not already known, or at least suspected by the Jewish community. I think the bigger story is how hard over the years the Canadian government has fought the Jewish community on every level regarding this issue. The non-release of this report until now is just a symptom of that,” said Steven Rambam, founder and CEO of Pallorium, Inc., a Brooklyn-based licensed investigative agency.

In the mid-1990s, Rambam and his associates compiled a list of 2,000 possible Nazi war criminals living in Canada, and winnowed them down to 200 of the worst to investigate. He located 170 suspected Nazi war criminals and collaborators living in Canada, and interviewed about 70 of them undercover.

“I can personally attest to the fact that all the war criminals were known decades ago. The Canadian government could have done much, much more,” he told the Post. “There’s no war criminal that entered Canada that wasn’t known to the RCMP. That I feel confident in saying.”

Steven Rambam, one-time Nazi hunter, and founder and CEO of Pallorium, Inc.

The federal government has 30 days to appeal the Sept. 1 ruling, and Robertson said that “it’s a real possibility” that they could do so, to delay even further.

“What will the unsealing of the few remaining portions of this report, if it happens, actually reveal to Canadians or to the Jewish community in particular? Nothing that hasn’t already been known for decades,” Rambam said. Complete accountability, in Robertson’s view, would look like “full disclosure of Canada’s Nazi past, the full release of the Rodal Report, the full release of the Deschenes Commission Part 2, and turning this into part of Canadian education, so that Canadians can learn from the mistakes of our past and can understand them and come to grips with them.”

He added: “Rather than try to sweep that history under the rug and to fight about whether or not that history should be disclosed to the public, our government should be exercising its ability in acting with moral fortitude, and leadership.”

The issue of Canada’s allowing in of suspected former Nazis returned sharply to public attention in September 2023, when MPs in parliament gave a standing ovation to Yaroslav Hunka, who had served in the Waffen-SS Galicia Division. The controversy prompted renewed scrutiny of Canada’s immigration, vetting, and historical-record practices concerning alleged Nazi war criminals and collaborators.

Principal Arrested After Four Hidden Cameras Allegedly Found in Girls’ Locker Rooms — Footage Reportedly Shows Him Positioning Device

West Virginia Regional Jail Authority photo

A West Virginia high school principal has been arrested after investigators allegedly discovered four hidden recording devices in areas where female students changed clothes.

Eric Michael James, 53, the principal of Brooke High School, faces felony charges involving the intentional interception of electronic communications and entering a nonresidential area with the intent to commit a crime.

He was being held at the Northern Regional Jail on a $100,000 cash-only bond, WTOV9 reported.

According to Brooke County Sheriff Richard Beatty, the investigation began after an alert custodian discovered what appeared to be an ink pen inside a girls’ changing area.

The custodian reportedly took the suspicious object home and later realized it was actually a recording device. He immediately turned it over to the sheriff’s office.

Deputies and West Virginia State Police then searched Brooke High School and the nearby middle school.

Investigators allegedly discovered four devices: two in a room used by the school’s dance team, one in the girls’ varsity locker room, and another in the girls’ physical education locker room.

Even more disturbing, Sheriff Beatty said investigators found footage allegedly showing James placing one of the devices and adjusting its angle.

“When we opened up that first device, there was actual footage of him setting it in place and adjusting the camera angle to be sure he was getting what he was looking for,” Beatty said.

Investigators reportedly stopped viewing the footage after the first frame revealed a female victim. All four devices were then sent to the West Virginia State Police forensic laboratory in Morgantown for a complete examination.

Authorities also searched James’ office, his school-issued phone, and his Marshall County residence. Electronic devices seized from his home are also being analyzed.

Officials have not yet determined how long the alleged surveillance operation had been underway or how many female students may have been recorded in compromising situations.

Additional charges could be filed once investigators finish reviewing the devices.

Brooke County Superintendent Jeffrey Crook immediately removed James from the school and suspended him indefinitely pending further proceedings.

“Our main priority is our kids,” Crook said. “The kids feel betrayed. I think we all feel a little bit betrayed by this.”

Police conducted additional sweeps of restrooms, locker rooms, stadium facilities, and other schools in the district. Officials said those locations were cleared and no additional devices were found.

James had served as principal of Brooke High School since June 2023. Before taking the position, he reportedly worked as a principal, physical education and health teacher, and athletic director at schools in West Virginia and Ohio.

A Brooke High School student has already filed a civil lawsuit against James and the Brooke County Board of Education.

The complaint alleges that minor female students were secretly recorded while changing, showering, and using the restroom. Those allegations have not yet been proven in court.

If James posts bond, authorities said he will be placed on home confinement and required to wear an electronic monitoring device.

The allegations represent a horrifying betrayal of students and parents who trusted school officials to protect children, not secretly violate their most basic privacy.
