ICE arrested 64-year-old Xiu Ying Zhang on February 17 in Boston after she overstayed her 1996 visitor visa by almost three decades. The agency called her a 'criminal illegal alien,' but experts like Aaron Reichlin-Melnick clarified that simple overstay is a civil violation, not a crime, while her separate charges include human trafficking and prostitution tied to a 2024 Revere raid. Supporters say the label fits her full record of serious offenses, highlighting tensions in how immigration violations and crimes are described amid calls to toughen overstay penalties.

Key Takeaway

Xiu Ying Zhang stayed in the U.S. nearly 30 years past her visa, running what authorities call a prostitution ring—prompting ICE to label her a 'criminal illegal alien' and igniting arguments over the facts.

On May 12, 2022, pilot Jorge A. Arteaga captured a 19-second video of a manta ray-shaped, shiny object passing close to his Cessna over Antioquia province near Medellín. Arteaga told ufologist Jaime Maussan the cold 5°C air and lack of prop wash ruled out a balloon, calling it compelling UAP evidence that first went viral in 2023 and resurfaced in 2026. Skeptics on Metabunk and aviation forums identify it as a common mylar party balloon from Colombia's festival region, tumbling in wind as the plane overtook it at 130-140 knots—no radar or extra witnesses support exotic claims. Skeptic Michael Shermer joked it's 'the most authentic balloon ever photographed at 12,500 feet,' capturing the ongoing debate.

Key Takeaway

A Colombian pilot circled his plane in 2022 to film a tumbling, metallic object racing toward his cockpit at 12,500 feet. The clip has reignited endless questions about what pilots really see up there.
