On Christmas Eve 2023, 41-year-old Sergeant Nicholas Van Pelt was killed, and a 40-year-old woman who was not his wife was on the ground bleeding from a bullet in the shoulder and one in the arm. Meanwhile, Homeland Security Agent Daniel Breijo patiently waited for the police to arrive with his hands on his head and a deadly weapon at his side in the bathroom.
The woman who was bleeding could tell the police, “Danny did it” as he was taken to safety and for medical attention. He has not been identified, other than he is a 40-year employee of the Ward County state’s attorney’s office. What he meant was Breijo who fired eight shots into the small apartment, six almost directly into Van Pelt’s chest as he answered the door.
Since that time, the criminal case in the state of North Dakota against the Federal DHS Agent Breijo has lingered and mostly stopped.
Nine months later and this case still has not set a date for the preliminary examination, and the defense uncharacteristically always tries to close all the details in this criminal case from public view.
North Dakota residents are wondering what is happening in their state where a federal authority is accused of killing another federal authority.
And those who know the Department of Homeland Security Breijo say, that a massive cover-up is underway.
The defense has asked the North Dakota state court to close the process in the murder case, a most unusual maneuver, experts say. The judge in the case was Judge Daniel El-Dweek, who denied a request to cover the proceedings in the case. The prosecutor, Amanda Engelstad, initially said that while she had no opinion on whether the case should be sealed to the public, it almost certainly would have been.
Local media refused to identify Breijo as a federal agent. Federal sources said that Breijo is a “connector” or “attached” between several state and federal agencies in the country, adding that “everyone knows Breijo.”
Breijo specifically is a “close friend” of the Minot Federal Bureau of Investigation who is close to the case. Specifically, Breijo is close to Special Agent Sarah Joyce. Joyce told people he was “very close” to Breijo and “implicitly trusted” him in many cases.
The FBI declined to comment for this article when asked about its connection to the killing of Air Force Master Sergeant Van Pelt.
Those who have opened to Breijo before believe there is a cover up going onand that Breijo’s accusation will be quietly pled down or dismissed. He said Breijo’s real motive: to interfere with a law enforcement investigation being conducted by Minot Air Force Base, is likely to be framed by authorities as a love triangle that could easily go wrong. Federal authorities say that if this happens, the motive has been cleared and there will be no attempt to cover up and cover up the proceedings of the case.
One North Dakota Senator who assessed the situation asked the authorities to intervene in this case, but his request fell on deaf ears.
“Breijo’s situation is not improving, something is not right,” North Dakota Senator Kent Weston (R) told Gateway Pundit. “It is very suspicious that he threatened other people in the country, and all the countries that happened in other cases involving Breijo, then he killed others and tried to kill others, and we suspect that we did not get information about the case, all while his charges continued What is this all about? Breijo’s situation is beyond strange, not at all strange.”
All the judges recused themselves from the case because they knew the female victim. There are also credible allegations that the judge knew there was a scandal in North Dakota’s political system involving DHS Agent Breijo.
The next action in the case is two weeks from Thursday, October 10, which will discuss the preliminary examination.
Court documents have so far failed to identify a motive for the killing. Breijo is currently being held at the Ward County Detention Center on a $2 million bond. Breijo is currently charged with Murder, Aggressive Assault, Reckless Endangerment, Terrorism, and Assault on a Correctional Officer.
Van Pelt is in the Air Force’s 219th Security Forces squadron. In 2021, there are 139 official personnel, 59 full-time and 80 part-time or traditional guard members, in the squadron.
At the funeral, squadron commander Maj. Greg Goodman said Master Sgt. Van Pelt and the rest of the squadron are tasked with providing security for the nation’s intercontinental ballistic missiles stationed at Minot Air Force Base.
Another of Breijo’s victims noted Gateway Pundit’s possible motive: “This case is over, why hasn’t there been a trial yet? It seems like they’re delaying this trial so they can continue to lower the charges against Breijo so they can get help and continue to cover up what’s going on here.
“Breijo and BCI (North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation) are accused of making false statements. If Breijo feels like people are going to burn him because the details are out and someone has to go down, then by choosing to kill the state area, he can save himself. The logic is the state won’t recognize the corrupt BCI agents if they have anything to do with Breijo. Breijo knows that the things that will come out are too sensitive and classified, so the federal authorities won’t recognize him and the state doesn’t know how to prosecute him, so he hopes that the charges will be dropped .He’s protecting himself by putting himself in prison now under state law because the feds won’t want to prosecute him or take him back.
“This is the retirement Danny Breijo is counting on.”
The Department of Homeland Security’s media office declined to comment or respond to this story.
