The Hidden Workforce: How a Global Visa Cartel Captured America’s Job Market

Behind the neutral façade of 9170 Irvine Center Drive in Irvine, California, sits what investigators describe as a gateway to a sprawling underground labor market—one that thrives not on innovation, but on control. The office serves as the operational heart of a coordinated system that recruits abroad, manipulates U.S. visa programs, and replaces American professionals with cheaper, visa-dependent labor.

WorldNetDaily investigation found that this structure extends across the United States, Canada, and India—an invisible architecture of recruiting firms, staffing agencies, and shell corporations collectively functioning as a global labor cartel. Their product isn’t software or consulting expertise. It’s people.

At the center of this ecosystem is Rajendra “Raj” Maddula, whose flagship company, Denken Solutions, Inc., anchors a constellation of affiliated entities: Apeiro TechnologiesValiantica Inc.Sophlogic GlobalMedCadre LLCSkoolvilleGlobal Squirrels, and The Ashlar Group.

Each firm performs a defined task—recruiting, visa filing, payroll processing, training, or redeployment—creating a seamless international labor pipeline that moves foreign workers into U.S. companies at below-market wages.

The investigation found that these firms file speculative H-1B petitions and other employment visas for candidates with no guaranteed jobs, stockpiling them until client projects become available. Once inside the United States, these workers are placed “on the bench”—a euphemism for being unpaid or underpaid until a placement opens. It’s a violation of labor law, but one that remains widespread.

When a company needs talent, the benched worker can be sold immediately. The staffing firm bills the client a premium rate while paying the worker less than half that amount. The difference—what the brokers call “margin”—is the profit engine of the cartel.

Recruiters within the network use internal spreadsheets to track these workers like inventory, categorized by visa type, technical skill, and availability. It’s a model that converts immigration sponsorship into an asset—human labor ready for deployment on demand.



Internal Hamas Documents Reveal Terror Group’s Infiltration of UN-Affiliated Aid Groups in Gaza

Hamas operatives infiltrated dozens of U.N.-affiliated aid groups in Gaza between 2018 and 2022, embedding personnel into senior positions to direct humanitarian operations on the ground and ensure the groups served Hamas’s interests, internal security documents uncovered by Israeli forces and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.

The documents, authored by Hamas’s internal security apparatus, detail for the first time how the terror group systematically co-opted nonprofits affiliated with the United Nations and the governments of multiple Western countries, including the United States.

They reveal how Hamas placed its allies into key positions throughout these nonprofits, ensuring they “can be exploited for security purposes in order to infiltrate foreign associations, their foreign senior personnel and their movements,” according to one December 2022 document among a tranche the NGO Monitor watchdog group published Wednesday.

The revelations come as the United States and other Western governments chart a course for humanitarian operations in post-war Gaza. While the Trump administration has said the Hamas-tied U.N. Relief and Works Agency will not play a role in the region under President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan, the framework does authorize the U.N. and other NGOs to play a role in the humanitarian aid process.

If those groups include those Hamas has already penetrated, the terror group will control a lucrative aid pipeline that will help it stay in power.

Hamas’s scheme relies on a system of “guarantors,” or local Gazans—primarily Hamas loyalists and intelligence operators—who serve as points of contact between aid organizations and the terror group’s leadership.

In order for NGOs to operate in Gaza, Hamas requires that its guarantors “hold senior administrative positions” within the aid groups. The arrangement ensures that Hamas has “access to the highest levels of the NGOs’ local branches and operations,” according to NGO Monitor’s analysis of the documents.

The guarantors also allow Western NGOs to informally coordinate with Hamas and bypass government restrictions on direct engagement with the terror group.

An April 2022 Hamas intelligence report, for instance, makes clear that “American associations present in the Gaza Strip do not engage with the Gaza government directly, but via an intermediate individual” who offers the aid groups plausible deniability….

Obama-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump’s Planned Parenthood Defunding Measure

Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that Democrat attorneys general challenging the administration’s funding provision are likely to prevail, finding that the law imposes an unlawful, retroactive condition on state Medicaid programs. The preliminary injunction halts enforcement of the measure for now, though Talwani stayed her order for one week to allow the administration time to appeal.

The provision, part of the administration’s Reconciliation Act, sought to deny Medicaid reimbursements to any group that both performs abortions and received more than $800,000 in Medicaid funds in 2023. The restriction was a central piece of Trump’s legislation to eliminate taxpayer support for abortion-related services nationwide.

Earlier in the year, Talwani extended a temporary restraining order that prevented the law’s enforcement against Planned Parenthood clinics in Massachusetts and Utah. She wrote that the law’s reach into previously distributed federal funds overstepped Congress’s authority and destabilized existing state healthcare structures.

Planned Parenthood, which was required by the court to post a $100 bond by July 15, 2025, argued that cutting Medicaid funding would have caused widespread service interruptions for low-income patients. The organization said the measure threatened to eliminate access to cancer screenings, contraceptives, and other essential care for thousands of women and families.

The injunction remains in effect until at least July 21 unless superseded by further court action. While the ruling preserves Planned Parenthood’s funding in the short term, the administration’s expected appeal ensures that the legal battle over Medicaid and abortion funding will continue to play out in the coming months.


Cop torches career after home invasion, physical attack on former lover — and his girlfriend — plus threat to burn down house

Sayegh’s guilty plea stems from a violent home invasion of her ex-boyfriend’s home in Berkeley Township.

As Blaze News previously reported, Sayegh used her baton to smash through the front door of her ex-boyfriend’s home around 11:20 p.m. on April 25.

But the violent incident didn’t stop there.

Sayegh — who was off-duty at the time — engaged in a verbal confrontation with her former lover and his new girlfriend that quickly escalated into a physical attack, according to court documents NJ.com obtained.

Citing Assistant Prosecutor Isabella Young, NJ.com reported that the girlfriend suffered swelling to the eye when Sayegh poked her with her fingernail.

The couple was able to restrain Sayegh before she “broke free” and smashed items in the house and knocked photos off a wall, according to the affidavit of probable cause.

Billhimer said Sayegh damaged the hood of a vehicle belonging to one of the victims that was parked in the home’s driveway.

The New York Post reported, “As Sayegh continued on her chaotic rampage, the new girlfriend retreated into the backyard, where she called 911.”

The prosecutor’s office stated: “Sayegh was taken into custody at the scene — after having resisted efforts to peacefully place her under arrest.”

Citing police bodycam video, the Daily Mail reported that Sayegh appeared to tell her ex-boyfriend: “I’m going to f**king burn your house down next, you piece of s**t.”

Sayegh caused $2,000 in damage to the house and another $500 to a vehicle, Young said….


DHS slams Newsom over illegal alien accused in death of 11-year-old boy on Thanksgiving

The Department of Homeland Security is blasting California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) after an illegal alien was charged in the death of an 11-year-old boy on Thanksgiving.

Hector Balderas-Aheelor ran over Aiden Antonio Torres De Paz when the boy left his Escondido home to retrieve a soccer ball on Thanksgiving eve, according to police. The boy died the next day, on Thanksgiving morning.

Officials said Balderas-Aheelor did not stop and sped away from the scene. He was later apprehended and arrested for the alleged hit-and-run.

The 44-year-old Mexican national had been deported three times in 2004 and a fourth time in 2010, according to a DHS press release.

In a post from the agency on social media Wednesday, the agency accused Newsom of refusing to honor the immigration detainer on the man.

“Governor Newsom is REFUSING to honor the ICE detainer for an illegal alien who killed an 11-year-old boy,” read the statement in part.

“When will Governor Newsom stop releasing criminals into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk?”

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin added that the state’s “sanctuary laws threaten to put this killer back onto California’s streets.”

Newsom’s office responded with a brief statement.

“The federal government admits a failure to apprehend the suspect when he unlawfully entered the U.S., but California law does not prevent them from acting now,” said a spokesperson….


A MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT | Ep 47 | Going Rogue for Lara Logan


UNRWA in Gaza Has Been Replaced; It’s Time to Shutter the Agency

The UN Relief and Works Agency — or UNRWA — in Gaza has been replaced by over a dozen other aid organizations. UNRWA’s decades-long monopoly on aid and services has finally been broken, presenting a rare opportunity for deradicalization and, eventually, peace.

What’s more, the international community now has a model for how to replace UNRWA everywhere it operates, not just in Gaza.

The UN Security Council approved President Donald Trump’s proposal to build a “Board of Peace” on November 17 that will oversee the deradicalization of Gaza and the dismantlement of Hamas’ terror state. But Trump’s vision will not succeed until UNRWA is shuttered.

UNRWA was created with a temporary mandate after Israel’s 1947-1948 War of Independence to provide aid and services to approximately 750,000 Palestinian Arabs displaced by the war.

Over the past 75 years, UNRWA’s mandate has ballooned. Not only does UNRWA continue to provide a myriad of services in the jurisdictions where Arab refugees from 1948 immigrated, but refugee status has been passed from generation to generation. As a result, what was a relatively small refugee population in 1948 (compared to other 20th century refugee populations) is today a large and growing 21st century refugee population with no end in sight. UNRWA counts 5.9 million Palestinian refugees and has an annual budget of over a billion and half dollars.

UNRWA schools teach the belief that Palestinian refugees and their millions of descendants would all return to the modern state of Israel — an outcome that would immediately erase Israel’s Jewish majority.

The focus on “return,” coupled with the well-documented glorification of terror and incitement — including arithmetic problems involving numbers of Palestinian “martyrs,” antisemitic tropes, and naming schools and soccer fields after suicide bombers — has produced generations of indoctrinated and radicalized Palestinian children…..


Putin Resistant to Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan During Meeting With Witkoff and Kushner

Latest Developments

  • Accepted Some Provisions, Rejected Others: A five-hour-long meeting in Moscow on December 2 to present President Donald Trump’s plan to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to Russian President Vladimir Putin ended without any major breakthroughs. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated, “Some things were accepted [by Putin], some things were marked as unacceptable,” referring to a draft plan presented by the U.S. delegation. Putin’s foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov, said that “compromises have not yet been found.” Ushakov participated in the meeting alongside Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, while U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner represented the American side.
  • European Leaders Question Putin’s Seriousness: Following the meeting, European leaders accused Putin of feigning interest in peace. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper asserted that Putin “should end the bluster and the bloodshed and be ready to come to the table.” German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said that he saw “no serious willingness on the Russian side to enter into negotiations,” while Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze accused Putin of “trying to split NATO.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was visiting Ireland, said, “We have to stop the war in such a manner that in one year, Russia would not come back with a third invasion.”
  • Putin Threatens Europe: Putin gave a speech shortly before the meeting in which he harshly criticized a European counter-proposal drafted in response to the original 28-point U.S. plan. Putin accused European states of trying to undermine Trump’s peace efforts. “We can clearly see that all these changes are aimed at only one thing: to block the entire peace process altogether, to make such demands which are absolutely unacceptable to Russia,” Putin declared. Responding to Putin, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte stated, “Putin believes he can outlast us, but we are not going anywhere.”

FDD Expert Response

“The Kremlin remains unwilling to make the compromises necessary for a settlement Kyiv can live with. Until that changes, President Trump’s diplomatic efforts are unlikely to produce a deal, let alone one that protects U.S. and Ukrainian interests. Washington needs to work with its allies and Ukraine to maximize military, economic, and diplomatic pressure on Moscow.” …..

Trump admin sanctions bikini-loving Venezuelan actress with a taste for bad boys who meet gruesome deaths

A Venezuelan model, actress and DJ who is reportedly “romantically linked” to the leader of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang was sanctioned by the US Treasury Department on Wednesday, as part of an entertainment industry network providing material support for the foreign terror group.

The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced the designation against entertainer Jimena Romina Araya Navarro, also known as Rosita, a Venezuelan model with millions of social media followers who along with other entertainers has helped launder money for TdA.

Rosita also “reportedly helped the notorious head of TdA, Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, also known as “Niño Guerrero,” who is believed to have been her onetime lover, flee Venezuela’s Tocorón prison in 2012, according to the Treasury.

The sultry influencer has starred in popular Spanish-language TV shows and also moonlights as a DJ, spinning electronic house music in her home country, Colombia and Mexico, a review of her social media accounts shows.

But much of the profits from her glamorous lifestyle were later funneled to Venezuela’s most notorious gang — including through performances at a Bogota-based nightclub run by her ex-bodyman and manager Eryk Manuel Landaeta Hernandez…..

‘True extremist’: Minnesota Sen. Holmstrom torches judge who overturned $7.2M fraud conviction

A Republican state senator in Minnesota is calling one judge a “true extremist” after she overturned a $7.2 million taxpayer fraud conviction. Abdifatah Yusuf and his wife, Lul Ahmed, were charged in June 2024 and were accused of stealing $7.2 million from the state’s Medicaid program while operating a home healthcare business.

Yusuf directed over $1 million from the business account to his personal account and also withdrew over $387,000 in cash, the attorney general’s office said. A jury convicted Yusuf of six counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindling over $35,000 in August. However, that decision was thrown out by Judge Sarah West in a mid-November ruling.
