Nearly Every Federal Judge Obstructing Trump Has a Spouse or Child Drawing a Paycheck From a Democrat-Aligned NGO

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Judge’s are supposed to recuse themselves from any decisions that could even remotely look like there’s a conflict of interest. But these judges aren’t ruling on cases, they are left-wing activists who are also protecting their families’ livelihoods. The conflict of interest is glaring.

James Boasberg’s daughter works for nonprofit whose founder said judge ‘rightly’ blocked deportations of alleged Venezuelan gangbangers — and opposes Laken Riley Act

By Victor Nava, NY Post, March 29, 2025:

The daughter of DC District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg is employed by a nonprofit that received millions in government funding, opposes the Laken Riley Act — and whose founder argued that the jurist “rightly” blocked President Trump from swiftly deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members.

Katharine Boasberg, the daughter of the federal judge who halted the Trump administration from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to send alleged Tren de Aragua members to a megaprison in El Salvador, conducts “capacity building work in public defender offices across the nation” for the nonprofit group Partners in Justice.

Partners in Justice removed Boasberg’s biography page from its website after her father was assigned to the Alien Enemies Act case.

The group’s latest tax filings show it received more than $3.3 million in government grants in 2023, which made up about half of the nonprofit’s total revenues, and public social media posts from the group’s founder demonstrate that it staunchly pro-immigrant.

“That was (rightly) quick,” Partners in Justice founder and executive director Emily Galvin-Almanza tweeted on March 15, in response to a news report on Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from using the 18th-century law to deport alleged criminal illegal migrants.

Last month, Galvin-Almanza railed against the Laken Riley Act in a video on X bearing her nonprofit’s logo.

The activist slammed the law, which requires the detention of illegal immigrants charged with certain crimes, as “horrible” and “cruel” because it reduces the power judges have in cases involving criminal migrants.

One of Trump’s closest advisers, Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk, described Katharine Boasberg’s ties with the nonprofit as “concerning.”

Musk’s comment came in response to an X post alleging that Partners in Justice “provides legal advice and representation to criminal illegal aliens,” including “TDA and MS-13 members.”
Judge Boasberg halted the Trump administration from sending alleged gang members to a mega-prison in El Salvador.

Illegal Migrants Hit Exit As Trump Rolls Up Biden’s Welcome Mat

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Faced with a new administration laser focused on mass deportation and the real possibility of being sent to a mega-prison in Central America, many illegal migrants are choosing to hit the exit button voluntarily.

A number of foreign nationals in Denver, the city that absorbed the most illegal migrants per capita than any other major U.S. city, are becoming far more receptive to the idea of self-deportation, according to a report from the New York Times. The current sentiment is a sea change from the Biden-era, when immigration officials allowed millions of foreign nationals to apply for asylum and remain.

Christian, a 29-year-old Venezuelan national who arrived in Denver in 2023, obtained a work permit and requested asylum, according to the NYT. However, he told the outlet that his feelings have changed “360 degrees” since Trump returned to the White House, and he has since made an appointment with a judge to request voluntary departure from the U.S.

“I just hope to manage to leave before they deport me,” Jesus, a 29-year-old Venezuelan, said to the NYT. He arrived in the U.S. in 2024 and was detained for some time before being released. He now says he’d rather return voluntarily to his home country rather than be detained again.

The current crackdown is a major deviation from the asylum policies implemented in the past four years. The Biden administration expanded the CBP One app, constructed Safe Mobility Offices across Latin America and established the CHNV program — all of which streamlined migrants’ ability to apply for asylum and enter the U.S. en masse before the Trump administration scrapped or defunded them all.

More than 18 million illegal migrants are estimated to be living in the U.S., according to the most recent study released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Those new figures were released after 8.5 million migrant encounters were recorded along the U.S.-Mexico border during the four fiscal years of the Biden administration.

The Biden White House oversaw the worst humanitarian crisis at the southern border in history, with fiscal years 2023 and 2024 being the highest and second highest, respectively, of recorded migrant encounters, according to Customs and Border Protection data. Before Biden finally issued an election-year directive that began a slowdown of encounters, millions of illegal migrants had already entered the country.

After winning election to a second term in an electoral landslide, in part on a pledge to crack down on the illegal immigration crisis, President Donald Trump got to work on enforcement reforms. The Trump administration deployed troops at the southern border, successfully coerced Canada and Mexico to put more effort into border security and designated a number of transnational gangs and cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Trump also threw the hammer down on interior enforcement, successfully pushing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to apprehend tens of thousands of illegal migrants in the first months of his administration. The ICE arrests, which far surpass the rate of the previous administration, included convicted criminals and gangbangers loyal to Tren de Aragua, MS-13 and other ruthless crime syndicates.

In an unprecedented agreement, the Trump administration reached a deal with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele allowing U.S. authorities to transport criminal illegal migrants to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), a mega-prison in El Salvador that has the capacity to hold up to 40,000 inmates. The maximum-security prison is not known for being a relaxing venue, where prisoners are packed tightly into cells, recreation and visitation are forbidden and cellphone signals are blocked.

While Trump fights a court challenge on his use of wartime powers to deport Tren de Aragua gang members, media attention has surrounded the Venezuelan nationals who were already deported to the mega-prison.

While Venezuelans see some of their countrymen be sent to one of the largest prisons in the world, the Trump administration is encouraging all illegal migrants to leave on their own accord. Earlier in March, the administration rolled out the CBP Home app — a relaunch of the Biden-era CBP One app that now includes a feature for illegal migrants to declare their intentions to self-deport.

“The Biden Administration exploited the CBP One app to allow more than 1 million aliens to illegally enter the United States,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem previously said. “With the launching of the CBP Home app, we are restoring integrity to our immigration system.”

“The CBP Home app gives aliens the option to leave now and self-deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream,” Noem went on. “If they don’t, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return.”

Ranjani Srinivasan, an Indian national student allegedly involved in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, notably used the app to leave the U.S. after the State Department revoked her student visa. Foreign nationals in Chicago, Ohio, and elsewhere across the U.S. have also self-deported, according to the NYT.

The monumental push for self-deportation —  and the subsequent signs of success of this effort —  appear as a far cry from years past. When then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney touted self-deportation as a viable immigration enforcement plan during a 2012 GOP debate, he drew audible laughs from the audience. Other critics at the time blasted the idea as a strategy blunder.

However, under Trump’s unprecedented crackdown on illegal immigration, the policy appears to be all the more realistic.

Rather than go through the trouble of remaining on the run, one 23-year-old Venezuelan illegal migrant walked into a Detroit ICE office building in February and surrendered himself to authorities. The migrant reportedly told agents he needed to be taken into custody or else he’d go on to commit crimes.

The First 238 Gang Members of the Venezuelan Terrorist Organization, Tren de Aragua, Land in El Salvador

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

It’s a pity Judge James Boasberg wasn’t on that plane as well.

WATCH: 238 Gang Members of the Venezuelan Terrorist Organization Tren de Aragua Land in El Salvador

And then we have this from El Salvador President Nayib Bukele:

Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).

The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.

Over time, these actions, combined with the production already being generated by more than 40,000 inmates engaged in various workshops and labor under the Zero Idleness program, will help make our prison system self-sustainable. As of today, it costs $200 million per year.

On this occasion, the U.S. has also sent us 23 MS-13 members wanted by Salvadoran justice, including two ringleaders. One of them is a member of the criminal organization’s highest structure.

This will help us finalize intelligence gathering and go after the last remnants of MS-13, including its former and new members, money, weapons, drugs, hideouts, collaborators, and sponsors.

As always, we continue advancing in the fight against organized crime. But this time, we are also helping our allies, making our prison system self-sustainable, and obtaining vital intelligence to make our country an even safer place. All in a single action.

May God bless El Salvador, and may God bless the United States.

Wins the internet.

Notorious Migrant Route To U.S. Suddenly Shows Signs Of Life As Migrants Hoof It Back Home With Trump’s Return

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Migrants who once flooded the U.S. southern border under the Biden-Harris administration are now using the Darien Gap to head home or travel to other foreign countries instead of heading toward the U.S.

The border crisis, which became a major issue for both former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris during their campaigns, saw record-high encounters, with officials estimating a total of 10.8 million encounters since fiscal year 2021. With the new administration tightening immigration policies, migrants are reportedly in a “reserve flow,” returning home through routes like the Darien Gap, according to the Associated Press.

One major route used to travel to the U.S. southern border, the Darien Gap—a dense jungle region—is now reportedly being used by migrants to flee from the U.S. border due to Trump’s efforts to secure it. Smugglers, according to AP News, are charging between $200 and $250 per person to transport people back through this “reverse flow,” including minors.

In Trump’s first month at the White House, both the U.S.-Mexico border and international crossing ports went quiet, with reports showing sharp declines in illegal migrant encounters. Since his inauguration, Trump has signed a series of executive orders aimed at ending taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal migrants, designating cartels and other organizations as foreign terrorist entities, and declaring a national emergency at the southern border.

Over the years, the Darien Gap has been a treacherous passage for illegal migrants due to the presence of organized crime and smugglers making as much as $14 million per day. Spanning 40 miles wide and 100 miles long between Panama and Colombia, over half a million migrants crossed through the Darien Gap in 2023, contributing to a record number of encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border that year.

However, in July 2024, Panama’s National Border Service, which functions as the country’s version of border patrol, reported a 9,000-person drop in crossings from Colombia compared to the same time the year prior, crediting their efforts to reduce illegal migration through the Darien Gap.

Along with his executive orders, Trump gave Border Czar Tom Homan and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem the authority to direct U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to arrest “criminal aliens,” including rapists and murderers.

But, according to AP News, not all migrants are returning home despite the stricter border crackdown; some are heading to other countries.

“There’s no way I’m going back to Venezuela. There are many of us who don’t want to go back. They are going to Peru, Ecuador, Colombia—just like before,” Celia Alcala, a woman waiting for a boat ride through the Darien Gap, told the outlet.

Since Trump’s inauguration, the president has pushed to fulfill his campaign promise of conducting a mass deportation operation and addressing the border crisis, with one of his first actions being the shutdown of the CBP One app. The app, which gained popularity under Biden, had allowed an estimated 166 million asylum seekers to secure appointments with U.S. immigration officials over the past two years, according to CBS News.

“When Trump arrived and eliminated the application (CBP One), all our hopes went up in smoke,” 36-year-old Venezuelan Karla Castillo, traveling with her younger sister, told AP News.

With mass deportations still underway, it remains unclear exactly how many illegal migrants were exactly allowed to pass through the southern border under the Biden-Harris administration. However, Noem estimated on Fox News that hundreds of thousands of criminal migrants have been allowed into the U.S. over the past four years, including thousands connected to gangs.

‘Trump Administration Is Serious’: America’s Southern Border Hasn’t Been This Quiet Since The 1960s

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

As the Trump administration continues to overhaul the country’s immigration enforcement apparatus, encounters along the southern border are bottoming out to levels not experienced in decades, federal data shows.

Border czar Tom Homan, who is spearheading the White House’s ambitious deportation operation, revealed Monday that there were merely 229 Border Patrol encounters along the U.S.-Mexico border within the previous day, a figure he suggested to be the lowest rate since he first joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 1984.  A review of past Border Patrol encounters, which are encounters made between ports of entry, shows he’s correct — and the numbers haven’t been this low since the 1960s.

If Border Patrol agents working along the southern border encountered 229 migrants every single day, the fiscal year total would equate to 83,585. If encounters continue to decline throughout the year, the final tally for fiscal year 2025 could be even lower.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provides annual encounter numbers along the U.S.-Mexico border dating back more than half a century. Calculating the daily average encounter rate from the CBP data shows Border Patrol agents haven’t experienced average numbers this low since fiscal year 1968, when there were only 62,640 reported encounters along all of the southwest sectors.

While daily encounters fluctuate throughout the year, immigration experts say the recent drop in numbers is a clear consequence of the policy changes handed down by President Donald Trump.

“We’re seeing an unprecedented decrease in the number of encounters at the border,” Eric Ruark, research director for NumbersUSA, a Washington, D.C.,-based immigration organization, said to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Obviously, that is a Trump effect.”

“There’s every reason to believe that we’re going to see historic lows when it comes to encounters now between ports of entry and people trying to sneak across,” Ruark said of future border activity under Trump. “The Trump administration is serious and they’re going to continue to be serious about not just talking about ending illegal immigration, but doing everything they can do to prevent it going forward.”

On average, the Biden administration was overseeing about 5,605 Border Patrol encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border every single day. The highest single-day record was broken on Dec. 18, 2023 when more than 12,600 migrant encounters were made on just that one day.

Since returning to office, Trump has undertaken an exhaustive list of actions aimed at controlling and discouraging illegal immigration, such as executive orders declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border and ending birthright citizenship to individuals born on American soil to illegal migrant parents. The administration has defunded or entirely nixed Biden-era initiatives that promulgated immigration, such as the Safety Mobility Initiative, the CBP One app and parole programs for foreign nationals.

In the most recent action, Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that directs federal agencies to identify programs that provide taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal migrants and cease action. The order further prohibits federal funds from being used to promote sanctuary policies at the state and local level.

Soldiers deployed along the southern border have been able to assist Border Patrol agents and other CBP personnel with their mission, providing an added layer of security to stem the flow of illegal immigration and illicit drugs.

Many illegal migrants waiting in Latin America simply gave up and turned around after Trump was elected in November, figuring there was no hope of making it through under the new administration. That many migrants are not even bothering to attempt to reach the southern border is indicated in the incredible drop in crossings through the Darien Gap — a large jungle region between Panama and Colombia traversed by northbound migrants hoping to make it into the U.S.

The current border numbers are a far cry from the illegal immigration crisis that waged under the Biden administration.

There were roughly 2,045,800 Border Patrol encounters along the southern border in fiscal year 2023 and roughly 1,530,500 encounters in fiscal year 2024, according to CBP data. When including both Border Patrol and CBP encounters at ports of entry, fiscal years 2023 and 2024 were the highest and second highest in the country’s history, respectively.

Faced with tough re-election prospects and sinking approval ratings on his handling of the immigration crisis, then-President Joe Biden issued an executive order in June that limited the number of asylum seekers appearing before the border. That order began a downward trend in activity, but the numbers plummeted even further after Trump entered office and got to work on his immigration enforcement agenda.

“The actions taken by President Trump to secure our border and make America safe again have been nothing less than historic, including by reducing illegal border crossings by over 60 percent in his first week in office alone,” House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green said in a Wednesday press release. Green pointed to Trump policies for the downturn, such as the rollback of the CBP One app and the “fraud-ridden” CHNV program that paroled thousands of Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan migrants into the country.

The administration’s border enforcement effort is “without question” the biggest crackdown in American history, according to Ruark, who pointed out that Trump’s second term will likely far outpace the immigration record of his first administration.

“You had a lot of people initially who weren’t really on board with Trump’s immigration agenda,” Ruark said of the president’s first-term staff. “That’s totally different in the second term, and these are people who, from day one, and we’ve seen the results, have come in and are putting in effective policies that are in line with what Trump campaigned off.”

“We have every reason to be optimistic going forward, so we’ve certainly been happy, but again, the big challenge is, ‘what do you do you do about all the people who are who are here?’” Ruark pointed out. “And that’s going to be, I think, a huge challenge for the Trump administration because you had anywhere from seven to nine million people who got in illegally under the Biden administration, and many of them are still here.

Biden’s HHS Left Taxpayers on the Hook for $22.6 BILLION for Giveaways to Illegals for Cars, Homes, Startup Businesses

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

You don’t hate them enough. More evidence of why the Democrats has been so defensive about DOGE and Mr. Musk exposing the enormous reckless and corrupt spending.

HHS splurged more than $22B on grants for migrants — including cash for cars, home loans and startups

By Josh Christenson, NY Post, Feb. 13, 2025:

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ramped up grants for migrants from 2020 to 2024 — which included cash assistance to buy cars, homes and even build credit for startup businesses, according to a shocking watchdog report that found taxpayers were left on the hook for $22.6 billion.

HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) — which came under fire last year for having lost track of 32,000 migrant kids in the US — handed out the high sum to a host of nonprofits, effectively acting as a “giant magnet” for those crossing the US border and claiming asylum, auditors from the money monitor OpenTheBooks revealed exclusively to The Post.

Tasked with settling migrants, asylum seekers and other refugees in America, ORR drastically increased the number of noncitizens eligible to receive funding over the bulk of President Joe Biden’s term, with more than $10 billion shelled out to grant-receiving organizations just in fiscal year 2023.

That coincided with all-time records being set for southern border crossings into the US, with 2.4 million apprehensions by Customs and Border Protection over the same period.

Non-governmental groups bilked taxpayers for up to $1.7 billion in services including dollar-for-dollar matching savings plans for cars, homes, college educations or startups; small-business loans of up to $15,000; loans to repair credit history of up to $1,500; “cultural orientation,” “emergency housing support,” legal assistance and Medicaid care.

Some programs were only available to migrants or refugees who had been living in the US for several years, who were employed or who were making around double the federal poverty level or less, among other stipulations.

The most funding, however, was spent on unaccompanied migrant children, with $12.4 billion obligated over the five years — even as federal whistleblowers were calling out ORR for placing many of the 291,000 kids in their care with unvetted and at times abusive sponsors.

“The Shining City on a Hill, with its walls and doors, makes room for legal immigrants and legitimate refugees and asylum seekers, but the ORR has made a mockery of that vision in recent years,” OpenTheBooks CEO John Hart told The Post.

“ORR is part of a troubling trend of using nonprofit groups as ideological proxies. Vast sums are being outsourced to evade accountability and prop up an immoral, exploitive system that is hurtful to both American citizens and people in other countries who are longing for a better life.”

Thursday’s report comes after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) came under fire for sending around $80 million — subsequently clawed back by the Trump administration Tuesday — to put migrants up in New York City hotels and provide other services.

More than $2.6 billion went out the door in fiscal year 2020, $2.3 billion in fiscal year 2021, $3.3 billion in fiscal year 2022, $10 billion in fiscal year 2023 and $4.2 billion in fiscal year 2024.

Trump DHS Chucks Two Biden-Era Immigration Policies Into Dustbin

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The Trump administration rescinded two major Biden-era immigration initiatives Tuesday, further cementing the White House’s dedication to tougher enforcement policies.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a directive that rescinds the Biden administration’s guidelines on so-called “sensitive locations” where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are prohibited from conducting enforcement activities. The administration also announced it would be rolling back the “broad use” of humanitarian parole and returning it to a case-by-case basis.

The Trump administration lauded the moves as a step away from the soft-on-enforcement approach taken by the previous White House.

“This action empowers the brave men and women in [Customs and Border Protection] and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and catch criminal aliens — including murders and rapists — who have illegally come into our country,” a DHS spokesperson said of the revocation of sensitive locations. “Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest.”

“The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense,” the spokesperson continued.

An ICE memo establishing “sensitive locations” was introduced in October 2011, which mostly prohibited ICE agents from entering schools, hospitals or churches. However, this list was expanded incredibly under the Biden administration to include broad areas of social services and public spaces, limiting the scope where ICE agents could work.

The second directive announced Tuesday includes a phaseout of parole programs that allowed migrants to enter and work in the U.S. en masse under the Biden administration. Republicans have long criticized parole initiatives such as the CHNV program for being rife with fraud and allowing hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela into the U.S.

“The Biden-Harris Administration abused the humanitarian parole program to indiscriminately allow 1.5 million migrants to enter our country,” the DHS spokesperson said. “This was all stopped on day one of the Trump Administration.”

“This action will return the humanitarian parole program to its original purpose of looking at migrants on a case-by-case basis,” the spokesperson continued.

The two directives were issued by acting DHS Director Benjamine Huffman. If confirmed, South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem will be taking the reins at the department.

On his first day back in office, President Donald Trump issued a slate of executive orders that declared a national emergency at the border, designated cartels as terrorist organizations and sought to reinterpret the 14th Amendment as denying birthright citizenship for individuals born on U.S. soil by illegal migrant parents.

Illegal Migrant Who Voted In Multiple Elections Slapped With Jail Time

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

An illegal migrant will serve five years in jail for assuming a false identity and voting in multiple U.S. elections, federal prosecutors said Thursday.

Angelica Maria Francisco, a 42-year-old Guatemalan national living unlawfully in the country, was sentenced to a 60-month prison sentence for stealing a U.S. citizen’s identity, using that identity to fraudulently obtain several U.S. passports and participating in the 2016 and 2020 elections, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced. Francisco was living in the Russellville, Alabama, area at the time of her arrest in 2024.

“This sentence sends a clear message that any attempts by non-U.S. citizens to vote in the Northern District of Alabama are unacceptable and will result in serious consequences,” U.S. Attorney Prim Escalona said in a prepared statement. “Maintaining the sanctity of the U.S. election system is one of the most important responsibilities of federal law enforcement.

“My office will remain vigilant in carrying out this mission and, to that end, will continue to work with our federal, state, and local partners to investigate and prosecute individuals who seek to undermine our elections,” Escalona continued.

Francisco assumed the identity of an American citizen in 2011 and used it to score a U.S. passport that same year, which enabled her to travel to and from her home country of Guatemala, according to the DOJ. Using this same false identity, she registered to vote in Alabama in 2016 and voted in the primary and general elections in 2016 and 2020.

The illegal migrant pleaded guilty to two counts of false claims of citizenship in connection to voting, one count of aggravated identity theft, five counts of use of a United States passport obtained by false statements and one count of false statements in application for a United States passport, according to the DOJ.

The sentencing showcases how noncitizens, and illegal migrants in particular, are capable of participating in U.S. elections, despite objections from liberal groups.

The Biden administration in October successfully blocked the Alabama Secretary of State from implementing a program meant to remove noncitizens from the state’s voter rolls. Earlier that month, America First Legal sued Arizona for withholding the names of around 200,000 registered voters in the state who allegedly did not provide proof of citizenship.

Just days before the 2024 presidential election, state officials in Michigan charged a Chinese national for allegedly voting in the election.

A spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement was not able to provide further details about Francisco to the Daily Caller News Foundation by the time of publication for this article.

House Lawmakers Overwhelmingly Pass Legislation To Crack Down On Illegal Migrant Criminals

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed legislation Tuesday to require federal immigration authorities to detain illegal migrants who commit theft-related crimes in the United States.

The legislation passed decisively 264-159 with every Republican lawmaker that voted supporting the bill, which would give Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and state governments more authority to curtail illegal immigration. Nearly 160 Democratic lawmakers opposed the bill’s passage.

The bill, known as the Laken Riley Act, is sponsored by Georgia Republican Rep. Mike Collins and seeks to honor the memory of Laken Riley, a University of Georgia nursing student who was murdered by an illegal immigrant while out on a run near her college campus in February 2024.

“An illegal criminal came into my district and killed Laken Riley because our law enforcement did not have the tools to stop him,” Collins told the Daily Caller News Foundation Monday. “Laken fought until her last breath, and so will I until this bill crosses the finish line and lands on the President’s desk.”

Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision to make the Laken Riley Act the first bill the House voted on during the 119th Congress signals addressing border security and cracking down on illegal immigration will be a top priority for House Republicans this year.

The Laken Riley Act seeks to address a policy failure regarding ICE and local law enforcement’s failure to detain illegal migrant criminals that commit low-level crimes that became glaringly obvious to lawmakers in the wake of Riley’s murder, Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters during a House GOP press conference Tuesday.

“There are real consequences to policy decisions, and this one was deadly,” Johnson told reporters.”

Riley’s killer, Venezuelan national Jose Antonio Ibarra, had a criminal record in the United States prior to murdering Riley. Ibarra was arrested in October 2022 for allegedly shoplifting at a Walmart in Athens, Georgia, but was ultimately released because the shoplifting charge was a misdemeanor.

If the Laken Riley Act passes the Senate and is signed into law by President-elect Donald Trump, ICE would be required to detain illegal migrants like Ibarra who commit theft-related crimes in the United States, according to the bill text.

“Right now, ICE is unable to detain and deport these illegal criminals who commit these minor level crimes, but the Laken Riley Act will fix this and give ICE and our local law enforcement the tools to get these criminals out of our country and make our communities safer,” Collins said during floor debate on the bill.

“With Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and the party of lawlessness out of the way, the radical left’s mission to enable criminal illegal aliens…at the expense of law-abiding Americans is no longer going to be tolerated,” Republican Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer, House Majority whip, said during a House GOP leadership press conference on the Laken Riley Act Tuesday. “The tragic and preventable murder of Laken Riley serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of failed leadership.”

Many House Democratic lawmakers, led by Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, slammed the bill for expanding the number of illegal migrants in the United States that could be required to be detained by ICE, and voiced concern that the bill’s passage would lead to illegal migrants who are wrongly accused of theft-related crimes being detained by federal immigration authorities.

“Their bill [Laken Riley Act] today is an empty and opportunistic measure,”  said during floor debate on the bill. “This is a radical departure from current law, which since 1996 has generally required mandatory detention only for persons who are criminally convicted or who admit to having committed certain serious crimes.”

The Laken Riley Act was notably backed by Riley’s family who believe the bill’s passage will prevent the deaths of additional Americans at the hands of illegal migrants.

“The Laken Riley Act has our full support because it would help save innocent lives and prevent more families from going through the kind of heartbreak we’ve experienced,” Allyson and John Phillips, Laken Riley’s mother and stepfather, told the DCNF. “Laken would have been 23 on January 10th.  There is no greater gift that could be given to her and our country than to continue her legacy by saving lives through this bill.”

“Every single member of Congress should be able to get behind this purely commonsense bill that will make our country and communities safer,” Riley’s mother and stepfather added. “We thank Congressman Mike Collins, Senator Katie Britt, and Senator Ted Budd for continuing to work to honor Laken’s legacy and get this legislation enacted into law.”

Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt introduced companion legislation in the Senate Tuesday with every Senate Republican supporting the bill’s passage and Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman signing on as a cosponsor. The Senate is slated to vote on the legislation as early as Friday, a senior GOP aide told the DCNF.

“Congress has an obligation to Laken, her family, and to families in every corner of our country to do everything in our power to help prevent this type of tragedy from occurring again,” Britt told the DCNF. “That’s why it’s imperative we pass the commonsense Laken Riley Act with all due haste.”

Collins originally introduced the Laken Riley Act in the House last Congress following Riley’s murder. The House passed Collins’ legislation in March 2024 with most House Democrats — 170 Democratic lawmakers in total — opposing the legislation.

Former Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer did not formally move to take up the legislation, forcing Collins to reintroduce his bill in the 119th Congress, which began Friday.

‘The People’s Patrol’: Guardian Angels Keep Watch Over Subways After Woman Burned Alive

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

New York City’s Guardian Angels will resume patrolling the city’s subway system after a Guatemalan illegal immigrant allegedly burned a homeless straphanger alive, killing her, on a Brooklyn subway car Dec. 22.

Curtis Sliwa, head of the all-volunteer organization, spoke at the Stillwell Avenue-Coney Island station in Brooklyn where the woman was killed and where the group’s patrol would start, the Post reported.

Three-person patrols would now resume walking through the subway cars, “which is something the police no longer do,” Sliwa said. He reportedly said “hundreds of citizens” had requested the organization’s return as “the subways are out of control.”

The currently 150-strong group last patrolled subway trains during anti-Asian hate attacks in 2020.

Guatemalan illegal immigrant Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, 33, faces first- and second-degree murder charges for allegedly burning the still-unidentified woman to death and could be jailed for life without parole if found guilty. Sliwa rued the lack of potentially life-saving intervention for the victim.

In a separate video Sliwa shared, he said the New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers started patrolling the subway cars back in 1979 but now are limited to the platforms and turnstiles amid personnel shortage, resulting in a security void. He added that dehydration often made homeless persons prone to hallucination.

“We are the people’s patrol,” he said.

“We’re going to have to increase our numbers, increase the training and increase our presence as we did back in 1979,” Sliwa said.

Sliwa also slammed the city’s criminal justice system.

“Notice there are no mental health workers, you know, crisis interven[tion] — they have all these fancy names — I’ve never seen them,” he said. “And we spent millions of dollars, I might add.”

The Guardian Angels will conduct welfare checks and “can have a calming effect” on emotionally disturbed persons — as some of such persons know the group, Sliwa said. The group would also work with conductors to alert the police.

Citizens would not intervene in such instances “because, unfortunately, the Daniel Penny effect has frozen them,” Sliwa added. “I’ve seen grown men who normally might have gotten involved — they’re just not getting involved anymore.”

“And we’re here to say, ‘You see something, you say something.’ You gotta do something,” he said.

Democratic former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio inaugurated a task force in 2014 to see that “where appropriate,” suspects with mental health issues do not go on to face criminal justice, or are treated outside jails if they do get charged with crimes, or can receive therapeutic rather than punitive treatment if they are jailed, among other proposed steps, a 2014 action plan report revealed. De Blasio’s council committed $130 million over four years to the project.

The City Council under Democratic Mayor Eric Adams called for $8.9 million to be added to the amount budgeted for mental health courts in the city’s 2025 fiscal year budget to prevent the city’s jails from becoming mental asylums amid the city’s struggle with recidivism.

Adams and NYPD Transit Chief Michael Kemper expressed frustration early March with recidivist crimes in the city’s subway system and the apparent failures of prosecutors and judges who themselves reportedly were hamstrung by state legislation. New York State’s 2019 bail reform also remains a fraught subject.

The Guardian Angels have had a rocky relationship with the police and repeatedly suffered attacks from criminals. Sliwa’s son and fellow Guardian Angel, Anthony, was injured while fending off an attack in early October on him and his stepfather, Democratic former New York State Governor David Paterson.

DHS secretary announces ‘jobs giveaway’ for newly arrived migrants with work permits

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

What about Americans seeking jobs?

America doesn’t need to be supporting jobless illegals. Americans also need jobs. Responsible governments control migration, properly vet migrants, and put the needs of their home country first. Biden is doing none of those things. Instead, his administration is rewarding multitudes of unvetted foreign illegals, with criminals and terrorists among them.

Demonstrating how lightly the Biden administration regards American safety and well-being, Biden waived sanctions on Iran three days after the November election, providing the terrorist regime “access upward of $10 billion in once-frozen funds.” Why?

He also gave away a billion tax dollars to Africa, while residents of North Carolina are still struggling from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

“DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas Announces Jobs Giveaway for Migrants,” by John Binder, Breitbart, December 10, 2024:

In the final weeks of President Joe Biden’s administration, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is announcing a jobs giveaway for newly arrived migrants with work permits.

On Tuesday, Mayorkas announced a final rule from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that will allow millions of migrants, many of whom have been released into the U.S. interior by the Biden administration, to keep their work permits for up to 540 days when they seek a renewal.

Migrants previously could renew their work permits for 180 days. For years, Democratic mayors had lobbied DHS to extend such automatic employment authorization for migrants. The rule will go into effect on Jan. 13, 2025.

Mayorkas said in a statement the move is meant to help “businesses fill” American jobs with more migrants:

Increasing the automatic extension period for certain employment authorization documents will help eliminate red tape that burdens employers, ensure hundreds of thousands of individuals eligible for employment can continue to contribute to our communities, and further strengthen our nation’s robust economy. [Emphasis added]…

Indeed, in the last year, more than a million foreign-born workers have secured American jobs while nearly 800,000 native-born Americans have dropped out of the workforce.

In July of this year, a Pew Research Center study found that as of 2022, more than 30 million legal immigrants and illegal aliens were holding American jobs — a 20-percent increase over the last 15 years….

Trump Reportedly Has Ace Up His Sleeve For Countries That Refuse To Take Back Their Illegal Migrants

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The incoming Trump administration is reportedly devising a plan to remove illegal migrants from the United States, even if their home countries refuse to accept them.

Illegal migrants that have been ordered deported by an immigration judge, but hail from a country that refuses to take them back, may be sent to Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Grenada, Panama or possibly elsewhere once President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House, according to NBC News. Such a plan, which has yet to be confirmed by the transition team, could prove to be a game-changer in the president-elect’s promised goal of conducting the largest deportation initiative in U.S. history.

It’s not immediately clear if these illegal migrants would be allowed to remain and work in the countries in which they are deported, or what type of pressure Trump officials are applying to these host governments. A spokesperson for the Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Foreign governments that refuse to take back deportees have long frustrated federal immigration authorities in multiple administrations. In lieu of remaining in detention indefinitely, many of these individuals may simply be released back into the U.S., even if an immigration judge has ordered them to be removed.

Under the Biden administration, federal immigration authorities and major cities across the country experienced an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis. Management of this crisis was made more difficult when Venezuela, the second-highest source of illegal immigration into the U.S., stopped accepting deportation flights in February.

Nearly 8 million Venezuelans have fled the country under Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a leftist authoritarian who has overseen rampant inflation, economic turmoil and political repression. Trump is reportedly being pushed to make a deal with Maduro’s government, which would involve them accepting deportees again in exchange for an easing of U.S. sanctions, but it’s not clear if the incoming president is receptive to such an idea.

In the past, the Chinese and Cuban governments have also proven uncooperative with deportation flights from the U.S. However, both countries have begun accepting more flights from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) once again.

During Trump’s first White House term, he secured safe third country agreements with El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, which were intended to keep asylum seekers at bay by forcing them to seek refuge in those countries first before applying in the U.S. However, the Biden administration suspended those deals immediately upon entering office — part of a massive unraveling of Trump-era immigration policies by President Joe Biden that helped spark the current southern border crisis.

Trump plans to enter office and begin to not only conduct the largest deportation program ever witnessed in U.S. history, but he has also vowed to resume border wall construction, end birthright citizenship for those born to illegal migrant parents, restart the travel ban and bring back the Remain in Mexico program — which kept asylum seekers waiting in Mexico while their claims were adjudicated in immigration court.

NEW YORK CITY: Illegals Protest End Of Their Free Housing and Weekly Grocery Stipends

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Who is organizing these mass protests? Who is paying for them? It speaks to something much larger, the destruction of our country.

WATCH: New York City Hall OVERTAKEN by Migrants Demanding All Biden Promised Them! INVASION!

Migrants New York City are getting more food money than New Yorkers.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the end of a program that provided prepaid debit cards worth up to $18,500 annually to migrant families. The decision follows growing criticism of the multi-million dollar initiative, which had been heavily scrutinized by political leaders and the public alike.

It’s an outrage.

NYC to stop giving migrants prepaid debit cards for food

by Ray Lewis, | The National News Desk, November 8th 2024:

NEW YORK CITY (TNND) — A spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams’s office said it will not renew the “immediate response cards pilot program.” The program directed funds toward migrant families in the city’s Housing Preservation and Development system that were living in hotels.

The city awarded an emergency contract to Mobility Capital Finance at the end of January to launch the program, but will not renew the agreement, the spokesperson said. The contract will end in January 2025.

“As we move towards more competitive contracting for asylum seeker programs, we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract for this pilot program once the one-year term concludes,” Mayor Adams’s office said.

The contract, which was for $53 million, helped the city “redirect” money to the local economy while providing “culturally relevant” food to more than 2,600 migrant families, the spokesperson noted.

“Thanks to our resettlement efforts, intensive case management, and national-leading Asylum Application Help Center, more than 160,000 migrants have left our shelter system and taken their next steps towards self-sufficiency,” the statement reads.

Power Malu, described as a “migrant advocate,” expressed concern to CBS New York over the quality of food that families in the program will receive once the contract expires.

“I am worried about these families ’cause we’re gonna go right back to where we were in the beginning when families used to come to me and say, ‘I’m getting frozen meals at the shelters, I’m getting these boxed meals with just crackers and sandwiches, and this is all I’m getting,’” CBS New York quoted Malu as saying.

However, the New York State Republican Party celebrated New York City’s move Friday as a “step in the right direction.” David Laska, the director of communications for the party, said both the city and state must also “immediately stop spending taxpayer money to house illegal immigrants in luxury hotels and public facilities,” as well as “prepare to cooperate with the Trump administration to remove from the country anyone here illegally.”
