What could possibly go wrong? It’s a religion of peace!

Border encounters of migrants with suspected terror ties jumped 15% last month

by Nicholas Ballasy, Just The News, August 22, 2023:

The number of migrants with suspected terror ties encountered at U.S. “land border ports of entry” increased 15% in one month, according to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.

A total amount of individuals who appear on the terrorist watchlist caught at ports of entry jumped from 382 to 442 after CBP publicly released its July 2023 operational data. So far into fiscal year 2023, 70 have been caught at the southwest border and 372 have been caught at the northern border.

This represents the highest amount for this category, formally referred to as Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS), since fiscal year 2020.

The number of individuals on the terrorist watchlist encountered “between ports of entry” rose from 143 to 149 so far into fiscal year 2023, according to the latest data. Of the 149 total, 146 have been encountered at the southwest border and 3 have been encountered at the northern border, which is the highest amount for this category of encounters since at least fiscal year 2017, the earliest year on the CBP data chart.

California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa pressed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the status of the suspected terrorists encountered at the U.S. border during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in July.

Issa asked Mayorkas how many suspected terrorists have been deported, put in jail or released but Mayorkas didn’t answer. Instead, he vowed to provide the information to Issa at a later date. When reached by Just the News, Issa’s office said it had not received that information yet, almost 1 month since the hearing took place….

‘Homicidal Maniacs’: Mother Of Murder Victim Chews Out Dem Rep. Jerry Nadler At Manhattan Crime Hearing

/in , , , , , , , /by

The mother of a 35-year-old man murdered in New York City passionately responded to Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler’s critical comment about her testimony at the House Judiciary Committee’s Monday Manhattan violent crime hearing, saying two more people should be serving life in prison for her son’s death.

Former Army Sgt. Hason Correa was murdered in a 2018 gang assault in Harlem, with Christopher and James Saunders being sentenced to 20 years to life in prison, Travis Stewart receiving a seven-year sentence and Mary Saunders getting a 14-month sentence of time already served in the case under Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, according to the New York Post.

After Hason’s mother, Victims Rights Reform Council Chairwoman Madeline Brame, declared during the Monday hearing that the criminals who murdered her son had “absolutely not” received justice, Nadler said she “failed to note” that two men were currently serving life sentences for the murder “as a result of DA Bragg’s prosecution.”

“There are four people directly responsible for his murder. Two people is not justice, and until there is justice for the murder of my son, there will be no peace, none,” Brame said. “I’m asking for a special prosecutor to reopen those murder and gang assault charges against Mary Saunders and Travis Stewart. Present that evidence, present that video to a jury, and allow them to decide those homicidal maniacs’ innocence or guilt.”

Republican California Rep. Darrell Issa later gave Brame the chance to respond to Nadler’s words. Brame emphasized that her son was “dead forever,” arguing that Stewart and Mary Saunders “deserve to be in prison forever” accordingly.

American stranded in Afghanistan says Taliban is ‘going door-to-door’ hunting for Americans

Meanwhile, Biden’s handlers won’t call the Taliban the enemy, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff claims that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was meticulously planned.

Taliban is ‘hunting Americans,’ says California mom-to-be left behind in Afghanistan

by Brie Stimson, Fox News, September 5, 2021:

House Foreign Affairs Committee member Darrell Issa on the fight to free trapped citizens in Afghanistan and bring them back to America.

A pregnant woman named Nasria, a California native, flew to Afghanistan in June to visit family and get married. As of early September, she remained one of the estimated 100 to 200 Americans left behind in the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces, according to a report.

Now that the U.S. military is gone, the Taliban is “hunting Americans,” she told the Voice of America.

“I think to myself, ‘Am I going to make it home? Am I going to end up living here? Am I going to end up dying here? What’s going to happen?’” Nasria, 25, who asked to be referred to only by her first name for safety reasons, said.

“Apparently they’re [the Taliban] going door-to-door … trying to see if anybody has a blue passport,” she said.

Last week, U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who has been working to rescue Americans remaining in Afghanistan, said during an appearance on Fox News that Nasria had been kicked in the stomach by Taliban fighters.

“Anyone who says there aren’t people stranded is wrong,” Issa said during the broadcast.

As the country fell to the Taliban, Nasria and her husband, an Afghan national, hurried to the overcrowded and chaotic Kabul airport in an effort to evacuate.

“It was so hard to get on a flight. There were a couple of days where we had to sleep on streets,” she said. “People were literally stepping over people. That’s how bad it was.”…
