Jorginho James, former pro soccer player, accused of assaulting his estranged wife at Texas daycare

Jorginho James, a former professional soccer player who competed for MLS’ Houston Dynamo and the USL’s RGV Toros, was arrested for allegedly assaulting his estranged wife at a daycare.

James, of Pearland, Texas, was charged with assault causing bodily injury of a family member and violation of bond conditions on Aug. 30, the Houston Chronicle reported, citing court records. He allegedly choked the woman in a separate incident in March, according to officials.

The woman spoke to FOX 26 Houston after a video showing the incident circulated on social media.

“As soon as I parked, he jumped into my back seat,” she told the station. “I got out of the car. I went inside my daughters’ daycare, and I called 911. While I’m still on the phone with them, that is when he started hitting me.

“He punched me eight times. I feel like he wouldn’t have stopped if I wouldn’t have fallen. He already had his arm ready to go a ninth time.”

James told FOX 26 Houston that “this is not the right time for me to explain anything.” His attorney declined to comment on the incident to the Chronicle.

James, who is originally from Jamaica, has spent most of his time playing for the Toros – an affiliate of the Dynamo. He reportedly appeared in one game for the Dynamo.

Mother of young girl killed by illegal migrants blasts Cruz challenger's policies: 'Took my daughter's life'

Mother of young girl killed by illegal migrants blasts Cruz challenger's policies: 'Took my daughter's life'

FIRST ON FOX: The mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants, is weighing in on the Texas Senate race as she blames Democratic policies for the loss of her daughter.

Jocelyn Nungaray from Texas was strangled and thrown off a bridge by two illegal immigrants in June, according to authorities. Two Venezuelans have since been charged with capital murder in connection with Nungaray’s death.

In a new campaign ad, shared first with Fox News Digital, Alexis Nungaray details the tragic killing of her young daughter by Venezuelan nationals who illegally crossed the southern border.

Nungaray said that her “heart would break again” if Democratic Texas Senate candidate Rep. Colin Allred, who is running against Sen. Ted Cruz, wins the election in November.

According to police, Jocelyn Nungaray was strangled and thrown off a bridge by two illegal immigrants in June. 

BIDEN-HARRIS OPEN BORDER POLICY FREED ILLEGAL 3 WEEKS BEFORE JOCELYN NUNGARAY MURDER, MOTHER SAYS

“Jocelyn was murdered by two illegal migrants, each released on the same days they were detained. Not even 30 days later, she was found down there in the bayou. She had no pants on. They bounded her feet, and they just left her, like nothing. All because of that policy, catch and release,” she said in the new campaign ad, which was released by the Win It Back PAC, a Club for Growth-affiliated fundraising group.

Nungaray pointed to Allred’s policies for the implications of the ongoing migrant crisis.

“And Colin Allred pushing that policy ultimately took my daughter’s life. Her going away from her graduation, her having kids. If Colin Allred is elected, my heart would break again. It really would. Allred didn’t kill my daughter, but his policies are why she’s dead.”

Allred previously addressed Nungaray’s murder by calling it a “tragedy” and then attempted to deflect blame by accusing Cruz of using the murder as a “political attack.”

Nungaray testified before the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month regarding her daughter’s death where she slammed the Biden-Harris administration’s border policy.

“Because of the Biden-Harris administration open border policies, catch and release, they were enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program,” Nungaray told lawmakers. “This meant that they were released into the United States. It was not even a full three weeks later that they would take my daughter Jocelyn Nungaray’s life.”

“They saw a young girl, my daughter Jocelyn, and placed a target on her without her even knowing,” she said, referring to the murder suspects. “They were seen on video at 12:57 a.m. on June 17th, walking across the street down by the bayou under the bridge, at 3:04, for only the two illegal immigrants emerged. They were down there for two whole hours. I can’t even fathom what was going through Jocelyn’s mind, the amount of fear she was feeling in the last moments of her life.

Southern California wildfires are being contained, but there is still lots of work to be done

Southern California wildfires are being contained, but there is still lots of work to be done 

The three wildfires that have burned hundreds of thousands of acres this month in Southern California are starting to get under control, but the firefight is far from over. 

As of Sunday morning, the Airport, Bridge and Line fires all remained under 40% containment. 

Line Fire

The most contained of the three is the Line Fire, which started on Sept. 5 near Base Line Road in Highland.  

In an update issued at 6:42 a.m. Sunday, Cal Fire stated that the fire was active as Saturday turned to Sunday due to a dry airmass at higher elevations. 

“The fire smoldered and crept on the ground in the lower elevations under the marine layer,” Cal Fire said in their most recent situation summary.  “Cool conditions prevail across the fire area, and late Sunday and into Monday, light rain is possible. Firefighters are strengthening control lines and mopping up hot spots.”

The Line Fire stands at 38,421 acres with 36% containment as of Sunday morning.  Preliminary damage assessments indicate that only three structures have been damaged with one destroyed; three civilian and firefighter injuries have been reported due to the Line Fire, officials confirmed.

Evacuation orders remain in place for some areas.  More information can be found on Cal Fire’s Line Fire incident page. 

Airport Fire

The second most contained of the three fires is the Airport Fire in Orange and Riverside counties, which has been burning since Sept 9.   

On Saturday evening, the Orange County Fire Authority stated that the fire remained at 23,519 acres with 19% containment.

Despite the progress, crews still observed “active fire behavior” near Modjeska Peak and Sugar Loaf throughout the day. 

“Substantial progress was made toward Bell Canyon through the combined efforts of heavy equipment, hand tools and aerial support,” OCFA said in a post to Facebook.  “Ongoing efforts are focused on preventing further property loss and establishing a containment line to confine the fire within its current boundaries.”

According to OCFA, “favorable” weather conditions persisted Saturday and light precipitation in the forecast should aid in the firefight. They did note, however, that despite the break in the heat, the dry vegetation still exhibited active fire behavior, which indicates the continued risk of increased fire activity.

  • Airport Fire Home Destroyed

As of the latest assessment, 24 structures had been damaged by the Airport Fire, with a further 109 destroyed.  

A total of 14 injuries to civilians and firefighters have been reported. 

More information on the Airport Fire, including maps of areas still under evacuation orders, can be found here. 

Bridge Fire

The Bridge Fire, burning in both Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, is the least contained of the three active SoCal wildfires as of Sunday morning. 

Burning since Sept. 8, the Bridge Fire initially remained small before exploding late last week, eventually spanning over 51,000 acres at its peak on Thursday.

Cooler weather over the weekend aided fire crews, but in their latest status update, Cal Fire said that several parts of the blaze remain active. 

“The northwest corner of the fire was most active [Saturday] … although interior ‘islands’ of unburned vegetation remain in the northern part of the fire, firefighters also plan to go direct and continue holding and securing their containment lines to protect the communities of Wrightwood, Pinon Hills and beyond,” officials stated.  “To the northeast, the fire has reaches drainages on the west side of the north fork of Lytle Creek; however, firefighters are prioritizing dozer lines and direct attack wherever possible to stop the fire’s spread.” 

“The east side of the fire is less active, [but it] still presents risks to residents in the Mount Baldy area so evacuation orders remain in effect,” Cal Fire added. “On the south side, firefighters are still holding their containment line at Sunset Peak while they continue contingency line construction below it…this area of the fire is where they were able to increase containment percentage by two percent.” 

Six structures have been damaged and 19 have been destroyed as of the latest damage assessment, although Cal Fire noted that upwards of 11,500 structures remain threatened by the fire. 

Only two injuries have been reported as a result of the Bridge Fire. Click here for the latest updates from Cal Fire, including a map detailing evacuation order zones.

As for the causes of the three fires, the Line Fire was allegedly set intentionally by a 34-year-old man from Norco and the Airport Fire started due to a spark from heavy equipment being operated by Orange County Public Works employees, although some have accused the workers of negligence or even “accidental arson.”

The cause of the Bridge Fire remains under investigation.

According to Cal Fire, there have been 6,126 wildfires in California this year which have scorched over 992,000 acres, destroyed 1,229 structures and led to one civilian death.
