A former senior Department of Homeland Security intelligence official who accused agency leaders of downplaying the threat of Russian election interference and white supremacist groups, appeared on Capitol Hill Friday to testify to lawmakers behind closed doors.
Whistleblower details alleged politicization of intelligence at DHS
Brian Murphy, the former chief of the DHS intelligence agency, filed a 24-page whistleblower complaint over the summer accusing DHS leadership including former Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Acting Secretary Chad Wolf of trying to "censor" and "manipulate" intelligence for political purposes, in the months ahead of the presidential election.

Murphy claimed that he was instructed by Wolf "to cease providing intelligence assessments on the threat of Russian interference in the United States, and instead start reporting on interference activities by China and Iran."
The request, according to Murphy's complaint, originated with White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien.
He also said he was told to align intelligence assessments with President Trump's public comments about the threat of left-wing extremists, amid national protests over police brutality and racial inequality following the death of George Floyd
Murphy was initially asked to testify before the House Intelligence Committee in September, but the session was stalled over a dispute about Murphy and his legal team's access to classified information relevant to his complaint. He was scheduled to appear before the committee for a staff-led interview Friday morning.
Reassigned from his role at the DHS intelligence agency in August, Murphy still works at the department.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson did not respond to a message from ABC News seeking comment, but the agency "flatly" denied Murphy's claims as outlined in the whistleblower complaint.

Kevin McCarthy Had 'Dinner' With Klaus Schwab, Spoke At WEF With McConnell's Wife
Kevin McCarthy had dinner with Klaus Schwab while attending the World Economic Forum in 2018
Rep. Kevin McCarthy revealed he had "dinner" with billionaire Klaus Schwab at the World Economic Forum in 2018 during remarks he made on a panel with Mitch McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, a shipping heiress of Chinese descent.
McCarthy attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in 2018, the same year 45th President Donald Trump spoke to the elite group of wealthy businessmen, politicians, and journalists.
During a 30-minute panel discussion with Chao, formerly Trump's Secretary of Transportation, and Kirstjen Nielsen, formerly Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security, McCarthy remarked on having "dinner" with Schwab during the World Economic Forum while describing what "America First" means to the audience.
"As I sat around Klaus's dinner last night, what's interesting is the number of countries who are now talking about their tax system," said McCarthy while suggesting that Trump's "America First" message meant tax cuts, economic reforms, and strong borders.
McCarthy's remarks during the panel discussion appear to represent an attempt to develop an understanding between World Economic Forum attendees and Trump, with McCarthy serving as communicator to translate Trump's pro-America policies into jargon the international body could understand.
In one moment, against claims that Trump's economic tariffs would hurt American consumers, McCarthy defended him by asserting that he is "more concerned about my community having jobs over the next decade."
He also defended Trump's bombastic persona, noting that "You have to raise the temperature, just as other presidents have done in the past" in order to "get the debate going" with foreign leaders.

"Florida's legislators may well find plaintiffs' speech 'repugnant.' But under our constitutional scheme, the 'remedy' for repugnant speech is more speech, not enforced silence," wrote Judge Mark Walker, in a colorful opinion castigating the law.
The extent to which the DHS initiatives affect Americans' daily social feeds is unclear. During the 2020 election, the government flagged numerous posts as suspicious, many of which were then taken down, documents cited in the Missouri attorney general's lawsuit disclosed. And a 2021 report by the Election Integrity Partnership at Stanford University found that of nearly 4,800 flagged items, technology platforms took action on 35 percent - either removing, labeling, or soft-blocking speech, meaning the users were only able to view content after bypassing a warning screen. The research was done "in consultation with CISA," the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Prior to the 2020 election, tech companies including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media met on a monthly basis with the FBI, CISA, and other government representatives. According to NBC News, the meetings were part of an initiative, still ongoing, between the private sector and government to discuss how firms would handle misinformation during the election.
The stepped up counter-disinformation effort began in 2018 following high-profile hacking incidents of U.S. firms, when Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act, forming a new wing of DHS devoted to protecting critical national infrastructure. An August 2022 report by the DHS Office of Inspector General sketches the rapidly accelerating move toward policing disinformation.
From the outset, CISA boasted of an "evolved mission" to monitor social media discussions while "routing disinformation concerns" to private sector platforms.
In 2018, then-DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen created the Countering Foreign Influence Task Force to respond to election disinformation. The task force, which included members of CISA as well as its Office of Intelligence and Analysis, generated "threat intelligence" about the election and notified social media platforms and law enforcement. At the same time, DHS began notifying social media companies about voting-related disinformation appearing on social platforms.
Key Takeaways, Cont'd.
The work is primarily done by CISA, a DHS sub-agency tasked with protecting critical national infrastructure.
DHS, the FBI, and several media entities are having biweekly meetings as recently as August.
DHS considered countering disinformation relating to content that undermines trust in financial systems and courts.
The FBI agent who primed social media platforms to take down the Hunter Biden laptop story continued to have a role in DHS policy discussions.
In 2019, DHS created a separate entity called the Foreign Influence and Interference Branch to generate more detailed intelligence about disinformation, the inspector general report shows. That year, its staff grew to include 15 full- and part-time staff dedicated to disinformation analysis. In 2020, the disinformation focus expanded to include Covid-19, according to a Homeland Threat Assessment issued by Acting Secretary Chad Wolf.
This apparatus had a dry run during the 2020 election, when CISA began working with other members of the U.S. intelligence community. Office of Intelligence and Analysis personnel attended "weekly teleconferences to coordinate Intelligence Community activities to counter election-related disinformation." According to the IG report, meetings have continued to take place every two weeks since the elections.
Emails between DHS officials, Twitter, and the Center for Internet Security outline the process for such takedown requests during the period leading up to November 2020. Meeting notes show that the tech platforms would be called upon to "process reports and provide timely responses, to include the removal of reported misinformation from the platform where possible." In practice, this often meant state election officials sent examples of potential forms of disinformation to CISA, which would then forward them on to social media companies for a response.

Q Research General #21341: Can't Walk The Streets Edition
Exclusive - KushnerBook Reveals Inside Details About Border Wall Fight in Trump White House and Congress.Part 1 of 2
Matthew Boyle18 Aug 2022
According to an excerpt from Jared Kushner's forthcoming book exclusively provided to Breitbart News, then-President Donald Trump told his son-in-law and senior adviser that Trump would go to the mattress to fight for border wall funding.
In Breaking History: A White House Memoir, Kushner tells the story of how Trump had to fight some of his own aides and congressional Republicans to try to get border wall funding. Kushner writes that it was then-White House chief of staff John Kelly and then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen who directly undercut the president's agenda during border wall negotiations and that some congressional Republicans were more than willing to let the president's agenda to be undercut.
It is, of course, not new for Trump to talk about how the swamp constantly tried to undermine his agenda. Trump has repeatedly told people he did not realize when he got to Washington just how deep the bureaucracy really was-but that he knows now. Kushner's book sheds additional light on the many hurdles the then-president faced, even with a Republican-controlled Congress.
Kushner writes that Kelly and Nielsen pushed Congress in 2017 and 2018-when both the House and the Senate were controlled by Republicans and could have done more-for only $1.6 billion in border wall funding, an obviously inadequate number to achieve the president's agenda.
Kushner writes in the book:
By law, the president must submit a budget to Congress each year. It includes his funding requests for everything from roads and bridges to health care for veterans. In both the 2017 and 2018 submissions, Kelly and Nielsen had asked for $1.6 billion for the wall. When I asked Kelly and Nielsen why they had submitted such low requests, they argued that $1.6 billion was sufficient and implied that Trump simply didn't understand how the process worked and that there were too many bureaucratic hurdles to build the wall any faster. In a best-case scenario, it would take ten years to build the wall, they claimed. If we asked for more funding, we wouldn't be able to spend it before the next fiscal year.
According to Kushner, establishment Republicans in Congress were also not doing anything to help Trump fix this mess-Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell and then-House Speaker Paul Ryan just went along with what Kelly and Nielsen had proposed, even though they obviously knew that just going along would hurt Trump's chances of finishing the wall by 2020.
Kushner writes that when he saw Trump shortly after his conversation with Kelly and Nielsen, Trump was "seething" at McConnell and Ryan. But Kushner says he told Trump they delivered exactly what Nielsen and Kelly asked for.
By this point in the Trump presidency in late 2018, Kushner writes, Trump and Kelly were "barely speaking" to each other anymore, so he says Trump did not even waste his time calling Kelly.
"Around the West Wing, it felt like Kelly had checked out of the day-to-day operations for months, and it only worsened after Trump's announcement on December 8 that the chief of staff would leave at the end of the year," Kushner writes.
"A few hours later, I went back into the Oval Office, where the president was still seething over his predicament," Kushner writes. "He was particularly furious at Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell for sending him a bill without the wall funding."
Kushner says he told Trump to be upset with Kelly and Nielsen, not McConnell and Ryan. "Don't be mad at Paul or Mitch," Kushner says he told Trump. "They got you exactly what Nielsen and Kelly asked for in our budget."
Kushner then says he advised Trump against vetoing the spending bill, which is the route Trump chose pushing to fight a government shutdown showdown with congressional Democrats in his push for more wall funding. Kushner says he told Trump:
You have a terrible hand to play here. If you veto the spending bill, the Democrats will blame you for the shutdown. They won't cave on the wall and have no reason to, since they will control the House on January 3. Let's retreat today and find another way forward. We can look at ways to get the funding without a shutdown.
In response, Kushner writes: "Trump listened, but his resolve stiffened."

Release the warrant!
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Trump released the warrant!
President Trump and Breitbart Accused of "Doxxing" FBI Agents Who Signed a Public Document
August 14, 2022
In the aftermath of the raid on President Trump's Mar-A-Lago estate, one of the many skirmishes was over the search warrant. President Trump complained about the conduct of the search, but because the Department of Justice filed the warrant under seal, preventing its release. The left pointed out that the FBI was required to leave President Trump a copy of the warrant, and he should release his copy if he felt abused.
You have got to be sh***ing me.
A search warrant is a public document. The proof of that is that President Trump was given a copy and encouraged by the intellectual left to make it public. I don't have any sympathy for anyone involved in this assault on our Republic. While I don't wish them physical harm, I don't have a problem with them being peacefully, if loudly, confronted at home or while shopping or dining out. That's the standard.
So long as these agents aren't treated with any more violence or disrespect than Kirstjen Nielsen, I think it's completely fine.
Some of the usual suspects accuse Breitbart of "doxxing" the agents by posting a public document; see pages 5 and 7. This is utter nonsense. The only way "doxxing" could occur would have been if the Department of Justice had violated court rules when filing the search warrant.
Federal rules require that anyone filing a federal court document must redact certain personal information in the interest of privacy, including Social Security or taxpayer identification numbers, dates of birth, names of minor children, financial account information, and in criminal cases, home addresses.
If the agents were "doxxed" by publishing a public document, then the failure was on the part of the people who did not follow Federal court rules, not Breitbart News.
A genuine effort to "dox" the agents signing this search warrant would have required someone to have enough energy to find them in various public databases and publish that information. But that would be wrong. Right?
I don't see why people voluntarily involved in this search have any expectation that their role, even if it was "only following orders" (Ich habe nur Befehle ausgef?hrt, in the original German), should be some sort of state secret. It shouldn't. We have a right to know who we are dealing with. We have the right to balance out the scales of justice when our side is in charge. The people involved in planning and conducting this raid made a conscious decision to become participants in political warfare. If they are ashamed of what they did, maybe they shouldn't have done it. If they are afraid their neighbors, or society in general, may disapprove, perhaps they should think twice about being part of a political vendetta. If they believe what they did was right and in the nation's best interests, then they should hold their heads up and take full credit for the raid and for what comes next.

who stepped down today
Bryan Ware
Valerie Boyd
https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/12/politics/dhs-officials-forced-resign-white-house/index.html
Washington (CNN)Two senior Department of Homeland Security officials have been forced to resign by the White House, according to sources familiar with the resignations.
Among them was a top official in DHS's cyber arm, who resigned amid a national security shakeup by the Trump administration. Bryan Ware served as assistant director for cybersecurity at DHS' Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
DHS assistant secretary for international affairs Valerie Boyd also resigned amid pressure from the White House, officials tell CNN.
DHS, CISA and the White House declined to comment on the resignations.
Ware's resignation letter, seen by CNN, is addressed to President Donald Trump and says his resignation is effective Friday. In it, he writes that it has been an honor to serve, highlighting his work on election security and the Covid-19 response.
But his farewell letter to staff indicates that he did not want to step down. He says that he is leaving "with much sadness" and that "it's too soon." He went on to list their accomplishments during his tenure. "We secured election day from foreign interference. Boom!" he wrote of his resignation, which was first reported by CyberScoop.
In a letter to the workforce, CISA Director Christopher Krebs praised Ware's efforts on election security, defense of federal networks and work on defending healthcare systems.
"Bryan approached each new challenge with enthusiasm and a collaborative attitude, helping to drive forward changes necessary to mature CISA as an operational Agency" Krebs wrote.
Matt Hartman Ware's deputy will step into role of acting assistant director, according to Krebs' announcement.
The resignations come in the wake of sweeping changes atop the Defense Department's civilian leadership structure which has seen several of the Pentagon's most senior civilian officials replaced with perceived loyalists to the President. The changes started with Trump firing Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Monday and senior Pentagon officials have told CNN they are alarmed and concerned about what might happen next.
Boyd submitted her resignation on Thursday to acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, writing that it is "with sadness that I submit my resignation, effective November 13, 2020."
"It has been my belief that people of character should support the institution of the Presidency and work within it to inform and influence policy decisions that reflect well on the people's government. This belief has been tested many times these past few years, and it is my fervent prayer that I made the best possible choices. I wish you and our colleagues across the government the strength to act with honor in the months ahead," she wrote.
Leadership at the department has been unstable throughout Trump's presidency. DHS-the third-largest federal department-has had five secretaries, only two of whom have been confirmed by the Senate: John Kelly and Kirstjen Nielsen.

Peter Fonda (dead) (along with McCain) tweets he wants to 'rip Barron Trump from his mother' and put him in a 'cage with pedophiles'
Actor Peter Fonda has a social media army and the Secret Service on his back after a twisted Twitter call to "rip Barron Trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles."
The brother of Jane Fonda also called for violence against Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and called White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders a "c—."
A rep for Fonda told Fox News the actor "wanted to make sure that Melania and Ivanka communicate with the president the dire circumstances of separating mothers and young children." The rep added on behalf of Fonda, "My response is the move was evil - same as the Pope."
Hours later, Fonda released a statement to Fox News apologizing for his comments.
"I tweeted something highly inappropriate and vulgar about the president and his family in response to the devastating images I was seeing on television. Like many Americans, I am very impassioned and distraught over the situation with children separated from their families at the border, but I went way too far," he wrote. "It was wrong and I should not have done it. I immediately regretted it and sincerely apologize to the family for what I said and any hurt my words have caused."
Donald Trump Jr. stood up for his younger brother, who is 12, calling Fonda's since-deleted tweet "sick" and asking for Sony Pictures to drop the actor from "Boundaries," which is due out on Friday. Trump Jr. also called on his followers to go after Fonda on Twitter.
"As an FYI @SonyPictures has a movie with him dropping in a few days. I wonder if they will apply the same rules to @iamfonda that they did to @therealroseanne. I have a strange suspicion that they wont do anything. Please RT, we deserve an answer!," Trump Jr. tweeted on Wednesday.
Sony Pictures did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.
Stephanie Grisham, the first lady's spokesperson, called the tweet "sick and irresponsible" in a statement to Fox News and said the United States Secret Service has been notified of Fonda's threats.
The Oscar-nominated actor didn't stop with his tweet about President Trump's young son.
"See if mother [Melania Trump] will will [sic] stand up against the giant ahole she is married to," Fonda tweeted. "90 million people in the streets on the same weekend in the country. F-."
His tweets were in response to a Trump administration's policy which has reportedly separated nearly 2,000 immigrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The 78-year-old actor also went on a tirade against Sanders and Nielsen calling them "gh," saying the vulgar slang term is "much worse than c-."
Fonda called for violence against both of the women saying Sanders is a "lying g—" and that her children should be taken away and given to Trump adviser Stephen Miller "for safe keeping." He also compared Miller to Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels.
Fonda's tweet where he called for Nielsen to be stripped naked and publicly whipped was applauded by Nancy Sinatra.
Sinatra tweeted at Fonda, "Say how you really feel, Blues baby" followed by a heart emoji. The tweet apparently was deleted later. A rep for Sinatra did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.
Fonda's older sister, Jane, 80, is no fan of the Trump administration herself. At the 2017 Emmy Awards, Fonda made headlines for her comments about the president.
"In [the film '9 to 5'], we refused to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot. And in 2017, we still refuse to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot," Fonda and actress Lily Tomlin declared.
Peter Fonda joins a group of celebrities ? including Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, Kevin Costner and Willie Nelson ? in publicly denouncing Trump's border policy.

https://dailycaller.com/2018/03/01/chuck-grassley-russian-oligarch/
Grassley sent letters in February to a lobbyist named Adam Waldman and Paul Hauser, a London-based lawyer who represents Deripaska, asking about their connections to Steele. The Republican also asked whether Deripaska has ever hired Steele, a former MI6 officer who operates a private intelligence firm in London.
Waldman, who operates Endeavor Law Firm, discussed both Deripaska and Steele in text messages sent in 2017 to Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the Democratic vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
///
In his letter, Grassley is asking Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Department of Homeland Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen for Deripaska's visa records.
The billionaire was denied a visa to the U.S. back in 2006 because of State Department concerns about possible ties to Russian criminal organizations. He hired Waldman to help him obtain a visa in 2009. The next year, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov hired Waldman to help with the Deripaska visa issue. The Lavrov contract ended in 2017, according to documents filed with the Justice Department under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Deripaska's visa case remains unresolved, however, The New York Times reported in 2017 that he was allowed to travel to the U.S. on a diplomatic visa between 2011 and 2014.
Grassley is pressing for information about where and when Deripaska obtained visas and all entry and exit records.

"Here we fucking go"
Brian Murphy, the former chief of the DHS intelligence agency, filed a 24-page whistleblower complaint over the summer accusing DHS leadership including former Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Acting Secretary Chad Wolf of trying to "censor" and "manipulate" intelligence for political purposes, in the months ahead of the presidential election.

Murphy claimed that he was instructed by Wolf "to cease providing intelligence assessments on the threat of Russian interference in the United States, and instead start reporting on interference activities by China and Iran."
The request, according to Murphy's complaint, originated with White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien.
He also said he was told to align intelligence assessments with President Trump's public comments about the threat of left-wing extremists, amid national protests over police brutality and racial inequality following the death of George Floyd.

Left-leaning group to track which companies hire former top Trump aides
BY ZACK BUDRYK - 01/26/21 11:55 AM EST
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/535876-liberal-group-to-track-which-companies-hire-former-top-trump-aides
A left-leaning advocacy group has announced it will create a list tracking former Trump administration officials' future endeavors.
The Campaign Against Corporate Complicity has committed to tracking former administration personnel since fall 2020, but said the initiative has gained steam in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to Bloomberg.
The group is a collaboration between public interest organizations Accountable.US and American Oversight. While the group has labeled itself as nonpartisan, it does not officially disclose its funding and has major staffing overlap with Democratic and liberal groups, according to the news outlet.
The organization will specifically track several Trump administration officials associated with Trump's immigration policies, including former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and former top Trump adviser Stephen Miller. It will also monitor onetime counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway and former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt.
"As people leave government, we expect them to show up on the doorsteps of corporate America," American Oversight Executive Director Austin Evers told Bloomberg.
In a statement Tuesday officially announcing the initiative, Evers and Accountable.US President Kyle Herrig called on major corporations' CEOs not to hire the officials in question.
"The people who companies hire reflect their corporate values. If companies hire senior level officials that engaged in Trump's attempts to undermine and violate the rule of law, they are complicit in the cruel, undemocratic, and dangerous policies and rhetoric of his administration," Herrig said in a statement.
In the statement, the group said it would specifically apply pressure to CEOs of major media organizations, publishers and public speaking firms.
"Government service does not guarantee private employment. In fact, it should not. And American business should not reward the behavior of the Trump administration with the well-oiled revolving door that traditionally spins at moments of transition," the organization said in a statement.

Trump's Former DHS Secretary Lobbies Senate to Approve Biden's DHS Pick
Kevin McAleenan, former acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the Trump administration, is lobbying senators to approve President Joe Biden's pick to lead the agency, Alejandro Mayorkas.
In a letter leaked to CNN's Jake Tapper, McAleenan writes to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee asking members to quickly approve Mayorkas's nomination.
"Ali Mayorkas is ... committed to the success of the Department, the people who serve in it, and he understands the essential role it maintains in protecting our homeland and our values. ... I urge the Committee to complete its work and the Senate to confirm Alejandro Mayorkas as the next Secretary of Homeland Security," McAleenan wrote.
The letter comes despite Mayorkas's scandal-plagued background in the Obama administration where he was accused by the DHS inspector general of acting "improperly" for securing EB-5 visas for wealthy foreign investors.
During a hearing, Mayorkas defended his actions, saying he "fixed problems," and promised to help Congress pass an amnesty for 11 to 22 million illegal aliens despite its potential to drive an uncontrollable mass migration to the United States-Mexico border.
McAleenan was one of a handful of Washington, DC, insiders from the national security establishment who was promoted to the top job at DHS while Donald Trump was president. Others included Gen. John Kelly, Kirstjen Nielsen, Elaine Duke, and Chad Wolf.
Days before resigning, McAleenan gave an interview where he attacked Trump's policy at the U.S.-Mexico border. McAleenan claimed the Zero Tolerance policy "went too far" and repudiated the term "illegal alien."
McAleenan had also been accused of leaking the details of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids to the establishment media in order to stop the operation. About a month after his announced resignation, a report alleged that McAleenan had led a quiet front inside DHS to stoke opposition to Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), who sits on the committee, has said he will oppose Mayorkas's nomination.

Trump signs executive order on protecting US from potential EMP attacks (3/26/19)
Trump signs executive order on protecting US from potential EMP attacks
By Jacqueline Thomsen
March 26, 2019 - 04:25 PM EDT
President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order directing federal agencies to identify the threats posed by potential electromagnetic pulses (EMP), which are believed to be potentially dangerous to critical infrastructure like the electric grid, and find ways to guard against them.
Senior administration officials told reporters during a call Tuesday that the order will direct federal agencies to coordinate in assessing the threats that EMPs pose, and find ways to prevent their impact. An EMP is a burst of electromagnetic energy that can be caused by a nuclear weapon or solar storms.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement that the order will create an environment "that promotes private-sector innovation to strengthen our critical infrastructure."
"Today's executive order - the first ever to establish a comprehensive policy to improve resilience to EMPs - is one more example of how the administration is keeping its promise to always be vigilant against present dangers and future threats," she said.
The officials noted during the call with reporters that the national security strategy released in 2017 was the first to identify EMPs as a threat, and that the executive order will build off that work.
"We are taking concrete steps to address this threat," one senior administration official said. "The steps that we are taking are designed to protect key systems, networks and assets that are most at risk from EMP events."
The order signed by Trump directs agencies to identify pieces of critical infrastructure, like the electric grid, that could potentially be impacted by an EMP. It tasks national security adviser John Bolton with overseeing the order's implementation.
Under the directive, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has 90 days to create a list of national critical systems that, if disrupted, would cause harm to public safety or national security, and then a year to identify critical infrastructure that could be impacted by EMPs.
Other parts of the order require the Homeland Security chief to later review data on the potential impact of EMPs, and for the Energy Secretary to create benchmarks laying out the effects of different kinds of EMPs.
The secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense and Energy are also required to submit an annual report to the president on how to best make critical infrastructure resilient to EMP attacks.
The Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, Energy, Commerce and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence are among the agencies involved in the executive order.
Senior administration officials told reporters that the executive order was not in response to new intelligence showing that the U.S. could soon experience an EMP attack, but is rather "driven more on overall risk than just threat."
"We're taking action on longstanding recommendations from the scientific community," one senior administration official said, "and recognizing that we have to work with our partners across the board to make sure that we've got a risk-based approach here that balances threat but also looks at the vulnerabilities and potential consequences associated with EMP events."

Q Research General #15134: Watching the Hearings, Day 2 Edition
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/spooked-miles-taylor-the-man-behind-anonymous-op-ed-goes-into-hiding
Miles Taylor, the former Trump administration official who claimed to be a part of an internal government "resistance" through his work as "Anonymous," said he is in hiding after receiving death threats.
Taylor, who was a Homeland Security official until last year, told the Washington Post in an interview published on Tuesday that he has moved between nearly a dozen places, including private homes and hotels, since publicly revealing his alter ego one month ago.
"I'm so spooked," he said. The outlet said Taylor demanded they leave out the details pertaining to where the interview took place because he's afraid of being attacked. Taylor now has private security.
Taylor, 33, was chief of staff to then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. He was also a counterterrorism adviser to then-White House chief of staff John Kelly. He worked at the DHS between 2017 and 2019, and he later endorsed now-President-elect Joe Biden in August.

Department of Homeland Security acting Secretary Chad Wolf is defying President Trump's order to terminate election cybersecurity official Christopher Krebs, multiple sources tell The Post.
The White House on Wednesday evening instructed Wolf to fire Krebs after Krebs openly dismissed claims of voter fraud in the Nov. 3 election.
"He gave us a bunch of reasons why he didn't want to do it and he said no," a senior White House official told The Post about Wolf's refusal.
"If anything, Chad is carrying Krebs' water," the source added.
Krebs, a former Microsoft executive, has since 2017 led DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and recently launched a "Rumor Control" website to debunk claims of voter fraud. A CISA panel declared Thursday that the "November 3rd election was the most secure in American history," rejecting Trump's claims of widespread fraud.
A different administration official said "the president wants to fire him" and "Chad Wolf is refusing."

Both officials told The Post that there was no ambiguity about whether the termination order came from the president, who says fraud resulted in narrow unofficial losses to President-elect Joe Biden in crucial swing states.
"Honestly, it was the president saying, 'What the heck is this guy doing? He's giving me grief before the election and now he's saying there's nothing wrong in the world?'" the White House official said.
Krebs irked Trump allies even before he refuted claims that election fraud tilted results toward Biden. Foes claim he's close to former DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor, who recently outed himself as "Anonymous."
A third person familiar with the matter noted concern that Krebs employs an appointee of President Barack Obama, Matt Masterson, as his senior adviser for election security.
"Chad was asked by the president to fire Anonymous' best friend and he's refusing," the administration official said. "He is not managing his agency, but that should not surprise anyone because he is a [former DHS Secretary Kirstjen] Nielsen lackey."

A third person familiar with the matter noted concern that Krebs employs as his senior adviser for election security an Obama appointee, Matt Masterson.
"Chad was asked by the president to fire Anonymous' best friend and he's refusing," the administration official said. "He is not managing his agency but that should not surprise anyone because he is a [former DHS Sec. Kirstjen] Nielsen lackey."
Taylor did not respond to a request for comment from The Post about whether Krebs is indeed a friend.
It's unclear if Trump will use his unilateral right to dismiss Krebs from his post without Wolf's assistance, officials said.
A spokesman for Wolf said, "All political appointees serve at the pleasure of the president. The White House has unilateral authority in hiring and firing of presidential appointees."
Wolf, in office less than a year, immediately preceded Taylor as Nielsen's chief of staff. But he's an unlikely face of lame-duck resistance to Trump after regularly backing he president's policies in public and helping put down anti-police brutality riots this year.
Among Krebs' sins, according to sources, is his decision to host an election-night gathering at a northern Virginia office building - described by a detractor as a watch party. A document reviewed by The Post indicates it was attended by two staffers of Dominion Voting Systems, whose platform miscounted some Michigan votes.

Former DHS Chiefs Urge Donald Trump to OK Joe Biden Transition
Four former chiefs of the homeland security department are pressing President Donald Trump to quickly allow Joe Biden to set up offices in government agencies, regardless of incomplete ballot counts and unresolved legal claims.
"By all credible accounts, state election officials have been diligent in conducting a fair, legal, and accurate count - county by county, state by state," said the November 10 letter from the four former heads of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
"President Trump is assured the benefit of a fair process and the right to file legal challenges and request recounts, but his legal claims cannot and must not prevent the transition process from beginning," said the letter, signed by the four DHS chiefs for former Presidents George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.
The signatories are Tom Ridge, Michael Chertoff, Janet Napolitano, and Jeh Johnson. A reporter for Politico posted the letter to Twitter.
The four secretaries are the establishment guardians of the hugely lucrative white-collar visa-worker programs, including the H-1B program. The programs allow Silicon Valley's tech companies to consolidate their control of the nation's tech sector, and allow Fortune 500 companies to spike stock value for Wall Street by shriveling the salaries of American graduates.
The visa-worker programs are used by CEOs and investors to minimize the role of American professionals in the tech sector because Americans can quit established companies to create innovative rivals.
Throughout Trump's entire, the four guardians have consistently fought against any curbs on the visa programs. The all-hands defense by Fortune 500 companies - and universities - worked until August 2020, when Trump launched a series of reforms that would shrink the H-1B program.
The four chiefs' petition excludes Trump's two former DHS chiefs, Kirstjen Nielsen and Kevin McAleenan. Both of Trump's DHS leaders cracked down on the politically obvious problem of blue-collar migration - but both also used the border uproar to divert media attention from the more important white-collar programs.
Here's a brief glimpse of college-grad pocketbook politics amid the uproar:
DHS deputy says Trump's #H1B reforms will push up wages for American white-collars.

All of which are voting discrepancies whose math doesn't add up or make any logical sense-that's now been added to by the heightened scrutiny placed on Pennsylvania's top socialist Democrat Party election official, whom Republicans say has "fundamentally altered the outcome of this election", and whose lawsuit shows that over 21,000 dead people were included on Pennsylvania's voters rolls-been added to in the US House election race in Virginia being lost by former CIA official turned socialist Democrat Party Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, who yesterday was aided by over 14,000 votes for her found on a flash drive mysteriously appearing out of nowhere-and added to by the US federal lawsuit just filed in Nevada saying that thousands of illegal votes are being counted-a lawsuit most important to know about because it was announced by former US spy chief Ambassador Ric Grenell, who said: "The Harry Reid machine recklessly threw ballots into the mail, and now we cannot check whether or not there are non-residents, which we have evidence, publicly-available evidence that you all in the media should also be looking at".
And though for a certainty the leftist media should be looking at the illegal votes being counted for Biden in Nevada, they more importantly should have paid attention to understand what President Trump really meant by saying he would consider himself the winner in this election if "legal votes" are counted-and if paying attention, would have seen them discovering that the term "legal vote" doesn't mean what they think it does-as on 22 August 2018, its true meaning was redefined by then Director of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, who ordered election officials in all 50 states to ensure that ballots used during the 2020 presidential election be able to be audited-an election order followed on 12 September 2018, which was when President Trump signed into law for the 2020 presidential election "Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election"-the most critical parts of to be noticed are those saying: "the term "United States election" means any election for Federal office held on, or after, the date of this order…the term "foreign interference," with respect to an election, includes any covert, fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful actions or attempted actions of a foreign government, or of any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government…the term "covert," with respect to an action or attempted action, means characterized by an intent or apparent intent that the role of a foreign government will not be apparent or acknowledged publicly".
An Executive Order signed into law by President Trump in 2018 whose true purpose and intent of was not clear at the time-but exploded into its full meaning over the past month when the Biden Crime Family was conclusively linked to multiple foreign countries-and as best explained yesterday by former United States Department of State official Dr. Steve Pieczenik when he suddenly appeared on the War Room Pandemic programme hosted by top President Trump confidant Steve Bannon-which was where Dr. Pieczenik shockingly revealed to the American people the 2020 election was a "sophisticated sting operation" that has trapped the Democrats in the most massive criminal election fraud in history-saw him further revealing that the ballots used in the election were printed by the Department of Homeland Security and every legitimate ballot across America was watermarked with QFS blockchain encryption codes-and saw Dr. Pieczenik further stating that President Trump has revised the entire game of war based on Sun Tzu's Art of War strategy to pull back and let one's enemies make mistakes.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Wednesday called on election officials in all 50 states to ensure that ballots used during the 2020 presidential election are able to be audited.
Nielsen told a group of reporters touring the Department of Homeland Security's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) in Arlington, Va., that she wants "all state and local election officials to make certain that by the 2020 presidential election, every American votes on a verifiable and auditable ballot."
"Our systems must be resilient. We must be able to demonstrate that the votes count and that they are counted correctly," she added.

Nielsen told a group of reporters touring the Department of Homeland Security's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) in Arlington, Va., that she wants "all state and local election officials to make certain that by the 2020 presidential election, every American votes on a verifiable and auditable ballot."
"Our systems must be resilient. We must be able to demonstrate that the votes count and that they are counted correctly," she added.

DHS chief calls on officials in all 50 states to have 'verifiable' ballots by 2020 election

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Wednesday called on election officials in all 50 states to ensure that ballots used during the 2020 presidential election are able to be audited.
Nielsen told a group of reporters touring the Department of Homeland Security's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) in Arlington, Va., that she wants "all state and local election officials to make certain that by the 2020 presidential election, every American votes on a verifiable and auditable ballot."
"Our systems must be resilient. We must be able to demonstrate that the votes count and that they are counted correctly," she added.
Nielsen listed three ways states could audit their ballots: By using paper ballots, machines that print out an individual's vote so it can be verified that the machine correctly tabulated their choice, or using machines that send a duplication transmission when someone votes.
The DHS chief indicated that she will not direct states on what method to use, but said states should maintain a system of verifiable ballots in order to ensure trust in the election system.
"I don't know if we are interested in mandating how, I am just interesting in making sure each state can explain to their citizens what they have done to verify the vote count," she said.
The DHS chief emphasized that the Trump administration is "working with election officials in all 50 states," having "frequent and frank" dialogue with election officials and pushing to identify and help manage risks.
The remarks about verifying ballots comes amid heightened fears of foreign adversaries seeking to interfere in future U.S. elections, including the November midterms.

Christopher Krebs, who serves as the head of DHS's cyber office known as National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), noted that there is an "ongoing Russian effort to sow discord and divisiveness."
The remarks from the top DHS officials comes just days after several technology companies announced malicious cyber activity by foreign adversaries.
Microsoft announced earlier this week that it had shut down six websites created by a hacking group known as "Fancy Bear," which has been linked to Russia's intelligence agency. The hackers targeted two conservative think tanks that have been critical of the Kremlin, in addition to targeting the U.S. Senate, though Microsoft said the attacks were not specific to a "particular" office or senator.
Fancy Bear is an active, powerful hacking group whose attacks have included the successful hack of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in 2016.
Special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election, indicted a dozen Russian intelligence officials last month for their involvement in the DNC hack.

Q Research General #14492: E-Bake To Victory Edition
New York Times' Miles Taylor Op-Ed Shows Everything Wrong With Anonymous Sources
If The New York Times was willing to lie about its anonymous source for their high-profile information operation, imagine the lies they're willing to tell about all the other anonymous sources they use.
Two years after the New York Times published an op-ed from what they described as an anonymous, principled conservative "senior administration official," it turned out to have been written by a low-level bureaucrat who later worked for tech giant Google and gave money to far-left Democrats.
Miles Taylor revealed he was the author of the highly hyped op-ed headlined "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration." He claimed to secretly work to thwart Trump's policy goals as the elected president of the United States.
While constitutional scholars worried about implications of such unaccountable thwarting of the will of the people, most media focused instead on identifying who "Anonymous" was. The New York Times assured readers that when it said "senior administration official," it meant someone "in the upper echelon of an administration."
Not A Senior Administration Official
People took seriously the New York Times' claim that the anonymous writer was in the upper echelon of an administration. In "13 people who might be the author of The New York Times op-ed," CNN followed the New York Times' lead by offering the names of actual senior administration officials, such as Don McGahn, Dan Coats, Kellyanne Conway, Kirstjen Nielsen, John Kelly, Jeff Sessions, James Mattis, Nikki Haley, Jared Kushner, and Ivanka Trump. Chris Cillizza also suggested it might be Fiona Hill or Melania Trump.
He also wrote of the Times, "They aren't publishing an anonymous op-ed from just anyone in the Trump administration. They especially aren't publishing one that alleges a near-coup ... If some midlevel bureaucrat in the Trump administration comes to the Times - or has an intermediary reach out to the Times - asking to write a piece like this one without their name attached to it, the answer would be an immediate 'no.'" He added:
Given all of that, it's telling that the Times was willing to extend the cloak of anonymity to this author - especially, again, because of the stakes and the target. This is not a decision made lightly. That the decision was made to publish it should tell you that this isn't some disgruntled mid-to-upper manager buried in the bureaucracy. This is a genuine high-ranking official. A name most people who follow politics - and maybe some who don't - would recognize. The Times simply wouldn't do what it did for anything short of a major figure in Trump world.

'Anonymous' Never Trumper Miles Taylor Now Works for Google
Miles Taylor, the anti-Trump staffer who published an anonymous op-ed for the New York Times in 2018 declaring himself a part of the deep state "resistance" against the President before serving as chief of staff to former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, went to work for Google after leaving the government.
Taylor's move to Google, which came before he outed himself as a deep state leaker, caused significant controversy at the time. Democrats in congress found it unacceptable that a member of Trump's DHS could be allowed to seek employment at a tech company.
The Democrats were presumably unaware that Taylor was trying to undermine the Trump administration from the inside.
Via CNET:
Members of the US House of Representatives sent a letter this week to Google CEO Sundar Pichai slamming the search giant's hiring of Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security official who'd publicly defended President Donald Trump's travel ban.
The letter, dated Nov. 19, was signed by the chairs of three House caucuses representing racial minorities: Rep. Joaquin Castro of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Rep. Karen Bass of the Congressional Black Caucus, and Rep. Judy Chu of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.
The lawmakers, all Democrats, said they found Google's hiring of Taylor, who previously served as chief of staff to former DHS secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, "deeply troubling."
The Times misrepresented Taylor, a low-level official, as a "senior administration official," a description that even other leftist, mainstream journalists mocked after Taylor's identity was revealed earlier this week.
"Leaving aside how one feels about Taylor's actions, I'm not sure that the NY Times decision to grant a DHS chief of staff anonymity for that op-ed and to describe him as a 'senior administration official' holds up especially well," said CNN analyst Susan Hennessey.
"The mere fact that the majority of people clearly came away with the perception that the author was dramatically more senior that he was in reality means that the Times failed to provide its readership sufficient context," said Hennessey in a follow-up tweet.
"It's an embarrassment," agreed Axios reporter Jonathan Swan.

Q Research General #14469: Who was Anonymous?
Ex-DHS official reveals himself as 'Anonymous'
Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official, revealed on Wednesday that he was the anonymous author behind a New York Times op-ed and subsequent book criticizing President Trump's character from the perspective of a staffer inside the administration.
"I witnessed Trump's inability to do his job over the course of two-and-a-half years. Everyone saw it, though most were hesitant to speak up for fear of reprisals," Taylor, who left the administration last year, wrote in a Medium post.
"So when I left the Administration I wrote A Warning, a character study of the current Commander in Chief and a caution to voters that it wasn't as bad as it looked inside the Trump Administration - it was worse," he continued.
Taylor has been public about his criticism of Trump for months, and even endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden earlier this year. He served in the Department of Homeland Security from 2017-2019, a stint that included time as chief of staff to former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
During his time in the administration, DHS oversaw the zero tolerance policy at the southern border that led to the separation of thousands of migrant children from their families. The practice prompted bipartisan outcry and was eventually halted, but advocates say hundreds of children still have not been reunited with their parents.
Taylor's criticisms on Wednesday largely focused on Trump's character and treatment of the country's institutions, however, and he urged other Republicans to join him in speaking out.
"Although former Vice President Joe Biden is likely to pursue progressive reforms that conservatives oppose (and rest assured, we will challenge them in the loyal opposition), his policy agenda cannot equal the damage done by the current President to the fabric of our Republic," Taylor wrote.
The anonymous official became something of a Washington sensation following the publication of the Times op-ed in September 2018 in which the author, identified only as a senior administration official in the Trump administration, described coordinated efforts from staff to "thwart" the president's worst instincts and bemoaned Trump's "amorality."
The White House pledged to look into the person's identity to attempt to root them out while top administration officials distanced themselves from the opinion piece. The anonymous individual faded back into obscurity until late last year, when they published a book titled "A Warning."

Trump to nominate Wolf as secretary of Homeland Security
Aug. 25 (UPI) – President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he plans to nominate Chad Wolf to be secretary of the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to make official the role he has fulfilled in a temporary capacity since November.
The president made the announcement on Twitter.
"I am pleased to inform the American Public that Acting Secretary Chad Wolf will be nominated to be the Secretary of Homeland Security. Chad has done an outstanding job and we greatly appreciate his service!" Trump wrote.
The president first named Wolf as acting secretary in November, the same day the Senate voted to confirm him as undersecretary of the department's Office of Strategy, Policy and Plans.
Wolf replaced former acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan, whom was never formally nominated to serve in the position. McAleenan replaced Kirstjen Nielsen.
Before her, Elaine Duke served as acting secretary after John Kelly's July 2017 departure to serve as chief of staff. Kelly is no longer with the White House.
Wolf has worked at the Department of Homeland Security since the beginning of Trump's administration, both at the Transportation Security Administration and as chief of staff to Nielsen.

Trump Cabinet officials voted in 2018 White House meeting to separate migrant children, say officials
WASHINGTON - In early May 2018, after weeks of phone calls and private meetings, 11 of the president's most senior advisers were called to the White House Situation Room, where they were asked, by a show-of-hands vote, to decide the fate of thousands of migrant parents and their children, according to two officials who were there.
President Donald Trump's senior adviser Stephen Miller led the meeting, and, according to the two officials, he was angry at what he saw as defiance by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Trump DHS leaders were illegally appointed, government watchdog says
A government watchdog refused to reconsider its conclusion that the two officials inserted atop the Department of Homeland Security have no legal authority to be in their positions. The Government Accountability Office informed acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf and acting DHS Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli on Friday that it will not rescind its Aug. 14 decision "as DHS has not shown that our decision contains either material errors of fact or law, nor has DHS provided information not previously considered that warrants reversal or modification of the decision."
Two weeks ago, GAO declared Wolf and Cuccinelli were not the next people in line to take over for departed acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan and Deputy Secretary David Pekoske, who returned to his job over the Transportation Security Administration. Wolf wrote GAO General Counsel Thomas H. Armstrong and asked his office to reconsider its decision, calling it "fundamentally erroneous" that they had been accused of violating the Vacancies Reform Act, which outlines the order of succession procedures. Wolf argued that McAleenan's predecessor, Kirstjen Nielsen, had reordered the line of succession a day before she left DHS last spring, therefore allowing both men to take over down the road.
GAO said the matter of whether the work Wolf and Cuccinelli have done in their positions is valid under the law will be a question for the DHS inspector general to decide. The prospect of Cuccinelli and Wolf serving in DHS leadership was first questioned last fall when McAleenan resigned and the two were rumored to be his replacement. Federal law experts told the Washington Examiner at the time that it would be illegal to appoint Cuccinelli, a 51-year-old former attorney general from Virginia, and Wolf, the former chief of staff to Nielsen, because their superiors were mandated to be named the "senior official performing the duties" of secretary or deputy secretary. Instead, those more senior officials were jumped over or moved to other posts.

Former Trump administration DHS chief of staff calls his presidency "terrifying"

UPDATED ON: AUGUST 17, 2020 / 5:03 PM / CBS NEWS
The former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security recorded an ad for a political group opposing President Trump, calling the Trump presidency "terrifying." miles taylor, who left DHS in 2019, claims the president wanted to use the agency "for his own political purposes and to fuel his own agenda."
"What we saw week in and week out and for me after two and a half years in that administration was terrifying," said taylor in a video posted Monday on Twitter by by Republican Voters Against Trump. "We would go in to try to talk to them about a pressing national security, cyber attack, terrorism threat. He wasn't interested in those things to him. They weren't priorities."

In the Washington Post today, taylor, a self-described Republican, writes, "I can attest that the country is less secure as a direct result of the president's actions… The president has tried to turn DHS, the nation's largest law enforcement agency, into a tool used for his political benefit." He cites one instance where "then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced, at the White House's urging, a 'zero tolerance' policy to prosecute anyone who crossed the border illegally."
"After this ill-conceived operation was rightfully halted, in the following months the president repeatedly exhorted DHS officials to restart it and to implement a more deliberate policy of pulling migrant families apart en masse, so that adults would be deterred from coming to the border for fear of losing their children. The president was visibly furious on multiple occasions when my boss, then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, refused."

The Government Accountability Office (GAO), which claims to be nonpartisan, is attacking Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, declaring that they are "ineligible" to serve in the Trump administration.
The GAO claims that an improper succession took place after Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned in April 2019. Kevin McAleenan took over for Nielsen and he supposedly changed the succession for other officials to succeed him after he left the position.
"When Secretary Nielsen issued the April Delegation, she only amended Annex A, placing the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection as the next position in the order of succession in cases of the Secretary's unavailability to act during a disaster or catastrophic emergency," the GAO found.
"Because the incorrect official assumed the title of Acting Secretary at that time, subsequent amendments to the order of succession made by that official were invalid and officials who assumed their positions under such amendments, including Chad Wolf and Kenneth Cuccinelli, were named by reference to an invalid order of succession," GAO's general counsel Thomas Armstrong concluded.
The GAO is urging the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security to take action based on their recommendations. They even hint that decisions made by Wolf and Cuccinelli to defend the nation from domestic and foreign threats could be overturned. A DHS spokesman has dismissed the GAO's complaint…
…The GAO, with their Democrat-prompted nitpicking of the Trump administration, has demonstrated themselves to be another tentacle of the deep state working to undermine the MAGA revival.

GAO finds acting DHS chief Chad Wolf, deputy Cuccinelli invalidly appointed to posts GAO said it was referring the matter to the department's inspector general
Of course DS going after the two most effective leaders preventing illegal immigration. It never ends
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) on Friday said that the appointments of acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and acting Deputy Ken Cuccinelli were made invalidly – raising questions about the legality of decisions made during their tenures.
"Because the incorrect official assumed the title of Acting Secretary at that time, subsequent amendments to the order of succession made by that official were invalid and officials who assumed their positions under such amendments, including Chad Wolf and Kenneth Cuccinelli, were named by reference to an invalid order of succession," the report, by Congress' investigative body, concluded.
The GAO investigated how the Trump administration filled posts at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without Senate confirmation.
It found that, when then-DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned in April 2019, the order of succession dictated that it should have been the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) who took over. Instead, President Trump appointed Kevin McAleenan – who was then the head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The opinion found that DHS mistakenly referred to regulations that spelled out the process for a disaster or catastrophic emergency, rather than an executive order that governed the typical order of succession.
"Mr. McAleenan would have been the appropriate official had Secretary Nielsen been unavailable to act during a disaster or catastrophic emergency. That was not the case here," the report said.
Before he resigned, McAleenan revised the process to allow combine the two processes – allowing Wolf and Cuccinelli to be appointed. But, the GAO found, because McAleenan was invalidly appointed, so were the changes he made to the order of succession.

Appointments of Homeland Security leaders Wolf and Cuccinelli are 'invalid,' report says
The appointments of Chad Wolf and Ken Cuccinelli to the top two leadership roles at the Department of Homeland Security are invalid, the Government Accountability Office found in a new report, delivering a major rebuke to the Trump administration, which has repeatedly tried to skirt the confirmation process.
The Trump administration has increasingly relied on filling top posts with people on a temporary basis, fielding criticism from lawmakers. The Department of Homeland Security - the third-largest federal department - is no exception. It hasn't had a Senate-confirmed secretary since Kirstjen Nielsen, who resigned last April.
The appointment of Wolf and Cuccinelli have previously come into question. Earlier this year, a federal judge ruled that it was unlawful to appoint Cuccinelli, an immigration hardliner chosen by President Donald Trump, to lead the agency responsible for processing US immigration requests

Writer Catches the New York Times Accidentally Reporting Who Sabotaged the DACA Decision at SCOTUS
The New York Times reported a bombshell on Friday that they didn't even realize. In a report attempting to smear Donald Trump for wanting to sell Puerto Rico, the New York Times inadvertently revealed who was responsible for the loss at the Supreme Court over Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
PJ Media reported at the time (h/t Matt Margolis):
On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled against President Trump's efforts to end Barack Obama's immigration program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which granted pseudo amnesty for minors brought to the United States illegally.
Chief Justice John Roberts, who was nominated to the court by George W. Bush, joined the four liberals on the court. Roberts argued that the Trump administration's ending of the program was "arbitrary and capricious," and violated federal law governing administrative procedure.
Many were left scratching their heads at what administrative procedure could be relevant to reversing an executive order.
10 Times Barack Obama Acknowledged That DACA Was Unconstitutional
My friend Becca Lower wrote today at RedState*:
NYT Claims Trump Suggested Sale of Puerto Rico in 2017, Ends up With Egg on Its Face
Here's just the latest one: on Friday the New York Times published an interview with Elaine Duke, who served as the former acting secretary of Homeland Security for four months in 2017, after John Kelly moved over to White House chief of staff but before Kirstjen Nielsen was confirmed to replace him. And as the Times reporter makes sure to tell readers, Duke is a "lifelong Republican" and "veteran of nearly 30 years at the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense." You don't say.
Lower spends the bulk of the article correctly lampooning the increasingly clowinsh New York Times for desperately flailing about for any angle they can dig up to make President Trump look bad/incompetent/racist. The story makes up for a paucity of substance with unintentional comedy.
Duke, Lower writes, had a problem with Trump's "hard talk" about Puerto Rico's corruption and how it was disrupting the island territory's recovery from devastating hurricanes.
Ted Cruz Completely DESTROYS John Roberts on Senate Floor Over DACA Decision
That's when Lower drops this bombshell:
Take a look at this revelation about how Duke sabotaged the administration's case before the Supreme Court, a decision which the high court just handed down. It should raise eyebrows: [emphasis mine]
Ms. Duke's most lasting legacy is likely to be the memo she signed - under pressure - to end that program. Her decision not to cite any specific policy reasons was at the heart of the Supreme Court's ruling, which said the Trump administration had failed to substantively consider the implications of terminating the program's protections and benefits.
Ms. Duke said she did not include policy reasons in the memo because she did not agree with the ideas being pushed by Mr. Miller and Mr. Sessions: that DACA amounted to an undeserved amnesty and that it would encourage new waves of illegal immigration.
No wonder she was told to take a hike after just a handful of months. If you don't support the president you serve, you shouldn't continue to serve that president. Period.
That's right. We now know, thanks to the New York Times (and the sharp eyes of Becca Lower of RedState) who sabotaged the DACA case and handed the Trump administration an otherwise inexplicable loss.
It just becomes more clear by the day how radical and anti-American the New York Times is and always has been.

Q Research General #11891: Smoke on [watch] the Water Edition
'Judge Emmet Sullivan was at the heart of Michael Flynn's dramatic sentencing hearing Tuesday, once again delaying it.
Sullivan tore into Flynn, President Trump's former national security adviser, telling him he couldn't hide his "disgust" or "disdain."
"Arguably, you sold your country out," Sullivan told Flynn.
The 71-year-old judge also questioned whether Flynn committed treason before he walked back those comments. He said he wasn't suggesting Flynn did, in fact, commit treason but asked prosecutors about the potential crime because he was "just curious."
"After looking at the definition of treason, we have no reason to believe he committed treason," prosecutors said.
Read on for a look at five things to know about Sullivan.
He's involved in another Trump-related lawsuit
Earlier this year, Sullivan gave an assist to Democrats suing Trump over claims he violated the U.S. Constitution's emoluments provision banning the acceptance of gifts and foreign domestic interests through his hotel business and other properties.
Sullivan's ruling didn't find Trump guilty of wrongdoing but instead allowed Democrats to continue their case in the courtroom, where they would have to make a case that he did.
He's been appointed to positions by both Republicans and Democrats
Sullivan was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in 1994 by former President Bill Clinton. He was confirmed later that year.
Prior to that, Sullivan was nominated to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in 1992 by former President George H.W. Bush. In 1984, he was nominated to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia by former President Ronald Reagan.
He made news with an asylum case earlier this year
Sullivan made national headlines in August after he learned a mother and daughter had been deported despite being their asylum claim being before him, according to The National Law Journal.
He reportedly ordered the government to "turn that plane around either now or when it lands."
If the government would not comply, he threatened to summon then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and other officials to court to "SHOW CAUSE why they should not be held in CONTEMPT OF COURT," NBC News reported in August.
He tossed former Sen. Ted Stevens corruption case
Sullivan presided over the federal corruption case involving the late Republican Sen. Ted Stevens and ultimately threw it out. Sullivan reportedly chastised the prosecutors in the 2009 case for "mistakes" they made in the case.
WHO IS TS ELLIS? A LOOK AT THE JUDGE IN THE MANAFORT, MUELLER CASE
"For 25 years I've told defendants they'd receive a fair trial," Sullivan said at the time. "I've never seen such mishandling or misconduct."
He's a graduate of Howard University
Sullivan is a two-time graduate of Howard University. He received a bachelor's degree in 1968 and a law degree in 1971.
He clerked for Judge James Washington of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia before going into private practice for a decade.

Senate Panel Plans To Issue First Subpoena In Burisma-Biden Probe
Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, is preparing to issue the panel's first subpoena as part of an investigation into Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company linked to Hunter Biden, he said in a letter on Sunday.
Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, told Democratic Michigan Sen. Gary Peters of his plans to subpoena Andrii Telizhenko, a former Ukrainian embassy official and former consultant for Blue Star Strategies, a firm that Burisma hired to fight against corruption allegations.
Telizhenko, who was a consultant for Blue Star from July 2016 to June 2017, has provided some documents to the committee, according to Johnson. But he says that he cannot turn over others without a subpoena because they are protected by a non-disclosure agreement.
"He cannot provide this responsible information unless he is compelled to do so by subpoena," Johnson wrote to Peters in his letter, which was first reported by CBS News.
Republicans have been investigating whether Hunter Biden leveraged his father's position as vice president to help Burisma, which has long been dogged by allegations of corruption.

Sen. Ron Johnson REUTERS/Erin Schaff
Hunter Biden, who joined Burisma's board in April 2014, is reportedly who linked the energy company up with Blue Star Strategies. Biden served on the board of the Truman National Security Project, a liberal national security think tank, with Sally Painter, one of Blue Star's co-founders.
"As part of the Committee's ongoing investigation, it has received U.S. government records indicating that Blue Star sought to leverage Hunter Biden's role as a board member of Burisma to gain access to, and potentially influence matters at, the State Department," Johnson said in the letter.
State Department records show that Painter and her Blue Star co-founder, Karen Tramontano, reached out to top State Department officials through 2016 to set up meetings to discuss Ukraine and Burisma. (RELATED: Emails: Burisma Consultant Linked To Hunter Biden Approached Top State Department Official At Think Tank Event)
In an email on June 27, 2016, Painter indicated that she spoke with Tony Blinken, who served as deputy secretary of state, at a Truman National Security Project event about "troubling events" in Ukraine. Painter requested a follow-up meeting with Blinken, who is now a foreign policy adviser to Joe Biden's presidential campaign.
Tramontano, who was deputy chief of staff in the Clinton White House, also contacted State Department officials seeking a meeting regarding Burisma on Feb. 24, 2016.
One of the officials that Tramontano contacted said that she wanted to meet in order to get "a better understanding of how the U.S. came to the determination that [Burisma] is corrupt."
Tramontano also mentioned that Hunter Biden was affiliated with Burisma, according to the email.
Johnson said that Blue Star has turned over some documents to his committee, but that the firm has said it will not be handing over any more records.
"The Committee notified Blue Star that we consider their response to be incomplete, but they responded that they will not be producing any more documents," wrote Johnson.
It is unclear what work Telizhenko did for Blue Star or Burisma. In recent months, Telizhenko has worked closely with Rudy Giuliani as he has pushed for deeper investigations into the Bidens and Burisma.

Alex Acosta is US Secretary of Labor under Donald Trump. Alex Acosta approved the plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein and then closed the investigation into a large scale sex trafficking network in Florida that was connected with Epstein. Many of Donald Trump's supporters claim Trump is shutting down child trafficking networks yet he employs people who are actually shutting down investigations into underage sex trafficking networks.
Donald Trump with his business associate Tevfik Arif who was previously charged with running a prostitution ring of young Eastern European women including underage girls off Turkish yachts. Arif was later acquitted after the girls were reportedly threatened and refused to testify.
Thousands of illegal immigrant children from Mexico and Latin America have been held in former Walmarts and government facilities under the Trump presidency. A few days after the media reported on Trump holding hundreds of children in former Walmarts Trump had a meeting with the Spanish House of Bourbon and King Felipe VI of Spain. Mexico and most of Latin America was part of the Spanish Empire. The Bourbons and the fascist dictator Franco stole hundreds of thousands of newborns from mothers at hospitals. Franco installed the Bourbons to rule Spain after he caused the civil war. Both the Bourbons and Franco were involved in kidnapping hundreds of thousands of newborns which occurred under their authority at Roman Catholic Spanish hospitals.
Trump with the Italian royal family the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies and their direct ancestors officially established the Jesuits or Society of Jesus. Trump was Jesuit educated at Fordham. Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump went to Jesuit Georgetown. None of them are Roman Catholic. Paul Manafort went to Jesuit Georgetown. Mick Mulvaney is Trump's White House Chief of Staff and went to Jesuit Georgetown. Trump's former White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly also went to Georgetown. Trump appointed Kirstjen Nielsen as Secretary of Homeland Security and she went to Georgetown.
Trump hired Roy Cohn who worked as an attorney for the mafia bosses John Gotti, Tony Salerno, and Carmine Galante. Trump purchased property for his casino from the mafia hitman Salvatore Testa. The mafia built Atlantic City and launder their criminal profits in casinos. The Merlinos worked on construction at casinos months before Trump purchased them. The Gambino-Genovese owned S&A Concrete were involved in constructing Trump's building in Manhattan.
Trump is connected with Felix Sater who has Russian mafia connections and was arrested in a stock market racket with the Italian Mafia. The Russian Mafia in New York pay tributes to Cosa Nostra through the Lucchese crime family which offer them protection. The Russian billionaire and Communist Aras Agalarov's son Emin Agalarov set up a meeting with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and Trump Jr, Kushner, and Paul Manafort. Aras Agalarov is a Commander in the Italian Order of Merit.
H. R. McMaster, Jim Mattis, Rick Perry, Gina Haspel, Alexander Acosta, John Bolton, Robert O'Brien, Dina Powell, Joseph Schmitz, and Dan Coats have all worked as advisers, directors of agencies, or in Trump's administration and they all also worked with George Walker Bush. The Bush family name derives from the Von dem Bussche family of Germany just as Trump' bloodline is from Bavaria, Germany.

CT senators demand DHS explain ban on Plum Island visitors
Washington - Connecticut's senators, joined by one from New York, are demanding Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen explain why her agency has shut down visitor access to Plum Island, a spit of land in the Long Island Sound that for years has been shrouded in mystery. Plum Island has been off limits to the general public because it's the site of research into the world's most deadly animal diseases, including swine flu and hoof-and-mouth disease, a highly contagious livestock illness.
Operations of Plum Island's Animal Disease Center are being moved to a larger, more secure site in Manhattan, Kansas, that will be called the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility. The new Kansas facility is expected to open in 2022.
Meanwhile, the General Services Administration has been tasked with selling Plum Island, a sale that's opposed by environmental and conservation groups who fear commercial development of Plum Island will harm natural habitat for a variety of birds, fish and other animals.

Pelosi doles out impeachment pens, a signing tradition
WASHINGTON (AP) - One by one, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi picked up pens lined up beside her and used them to sign a bit of her name on the impeachment articles against President Donald Trump. Then she handed each signing pen to the assembled chairmen and House managers who will prosecute the case in the Senate.
Signing pens are swag in Washington, often doled out on more celebratory occasions. They can be seen framed and hung in lobbies across the city as trophies of proximity to power. Trump has engaged in the tradition himself.
But Pelosi handed out the pens on a darker day, as she signed the impeachment articles against only the third president in history.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham on Wednesday criticized Pelosi both for the pens and the speaker's demeanor, which got some blowback on social media for being too cheery for such a grave development.
"Nancy Pelosi's souvenir pens served up on silver platters to sign the sham articles of impeachment," Grisham tweeted, reposting a photo. Pelosi, she wrote, "was so somber as she gave them away to people like prizes."
Pelosi's signature sent the articles against Trump to the Senate for trial, which is expected to open Thursday. The House-passed documents charge the president with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for pressuring Ukraine to help him politically. Trump says the whole thing is a "hoax" and claims he is a victim of a political "witch hunt" led by Pelosi. He is the third president in U.S. history to be impeached.
Before the signing, aides set out two small trays containing more than two dozen black pens emblazoned with Pelosi's signature. She entered the room and sat at a table, the documents and pens before her. Standing around her were the House prosecutors and the committee chairmen who had worked on Trump's impeachment. Pelosi picked up each pen, signed a bit, and handed each one to a lawmaker.
Sometimes, she was smiling.
Trump is familiar with this tradition. In a much-photographed ceremony in June 2018, he signed an executive order halting family separations at the U.S. border. He then handed the pen to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
On December 22, 2017, in the Oval Office, Trump signed the Republican tax bill into law while Congress was in recess. But Trump's aides brought some pens, anyway - so he tried to give them out to reporters . Journalists can't take gifts from the people they cover.
The tradition didn't start with Trump.
President Lyndon Baines Johnson gave away framed sets of the pens he used to sign his "great society" legislation to fight poverty and racial injustice. Among the recipients were lawmakers and the White House press corps. A complete set still resides in the press work space behind the White House briefing room.

America's illegal alien population is three times Europe's
American conservatives are concerned that we are a step or two behind Europe in committing open-borders suicide. But if you actually look at the numbers, in many respects America is blazing the trail to destruction much more swiftly than Europe.
A recent Pew Research report estimated the entire illegal immigrant population of Europe is 3.9-4.8 million. That is for an entire continent of 747 million people. The U.S. is less than half the size, yet the estimates of the illegal alien population range from 11 million to as high as 22 million.
Pew, as well as other left-leaning groups, likes to say there were only 12 million illegal aliens last decade and that the number has actually gone down in recent years. But the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) notes how they rely on census data that has traditionally undercounted illegal aliens by 15-35 percent. Moreover, given the massive influx of Central Americans in recent years, it is laughable how some of these organization can say that the numbers haven't moved. ICE's docket of non-detained aliens targeted for removal alone has grown by roughly one million since 2017, while the immigration court backlog has grown nearly tenfold over the decade.
Former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was asked at a hearing last December whether the number of illegal aliens was closer to 11 or 12 million or 22 million, as estimated by a recent Yale/MIT study. Nielsen admitted that there definitely are somewhere between 12 and 22 million, "higher than originally estimated." That was before one million illegal aliens were apprehended the following year and countless snuck through the border in one of the worst border crises in recent memory.
FAIR therefore estimates that there are 14.3 million illegal aliens at a minimum, not including the 4.8 million children born to them on our soil that are erroneously viewed as citizens by the courts and bureaucrats. Most European countries don't have such a policy.
That is an enormous number, even if it's not up to 22 million. The burden is incalculable, which is why it's so dishonest for politicians to continue demanding that we bring in more refugees. At most, Great Britain has 800,000-1.2 million illegal aliens, Germany has 1-1.2 million, and France has 300,000-400,000, according to Pew.

Ken Cuccinelli, acting DHS deputy, forced to leave bar after being assailed by Martin O'Malley
Acting deputy Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli was reportedly forced to leave an event on Thanksgiving eve after former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley blasted him for carrying out the Trump administration's immigration policies.
The incident allegedly took place at the Dubliner, an Irish pub on Capitol Hill where Cuccinelli and O'Malley were said to be attending an event with fellow graduates of Gonzaga College High School, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the encounter.
"Martin O'Malley just drove Ken Cuccinelli out of the Dubliner in DC w/ a passion-laced and shame-invoking tirade on behalf of immigrant refugee children!!!" Siobhan Arnold, who's identified as a Villanova University media relations associate and was reportedly at the bar, tweeted late Wednesday.
Speaking to the Post, Arnold said O'Malley used Cuccinelli's grandparents in a bid to shame him, a remark which she said Cuccinelli barely responded to.
"O'Malley was shouting," Arnold told the Post. "I don't think Cuccinelli was responding. I think he's like, 'Time to go. Just got here and I'm leaving.' He pretty much retreated."
O'Malley, the former Democratic governor of Maryland from 2006 to 2014, and a 2016 presidential candidate who withdrew his White House bid after an early defeat in the Iowa caucuses, defended his actions to the Post.
"We all let him know how we felt about him putting refugee immigrant kids in cages – certainly not what we were taught by the Jesuits at Gonzaga," O'Malley said in a text to the Post, adding that Cuccinelli is "the son of immigrant grandparents who cages children for a fascist president."
A DHS spokesman did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
Cuccinelli has been known as one of the Trump administration's most vocal immigration hardliners. He was appointed acting deputy DHS secretary earlier this month under new acting Secretary Chad Wolf, after serving as acting U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director. Cuccinelli, along with acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan, had been one of the favorites among immigration hawks to lead the department.
But Cuccinelli is not the first Trump administration official to be harassed for his work involving enforcement of President Trump's immigration policies.
Former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was repeatedly heckled for her role in the administration, and was forced, last year, to cut a working dinner short at a Mexican restaurant in Washington after protesters harassed her, shouting "shame!" Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was also forced to leave a Virginia restaurant during the same time period. Those incidents took place after Trump signed an executive order to stop the administration's controversial family separation policy.
The president has repeatedly said that the administration has no plans to reinstate that policy and has sought to place blame on former President Barack Obama instead.
"Obama separated the children, just so you understand. President Obama separated the children," Trump said in April. "The cages that were shown, very inappropriate, they were built by President Obama and the Obama administration -not by Trump."
He added: "The press knows it, you know it, we all know it. I'm the one that stopped it."
Initial images of cages with children inside that spread on social media last year indeed were from the Obama administration. The photos, taken in 2014 by The Associated Press, were wrongly described as illustrating imprisonment under the Trump administration.
But while family separations happened under Obama, it became more widespread during the border crisis that occurred during the early part of the Trump administration.

Over 20,000 Illegals Have Invaded the Border to Get Taxpayer-Funded Surgery
Illegal Immigrants Coming to US for Surgery: McAleenan
Part 2
In response to the deaths, then-DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said all children will receive "a more thorough hands-on assessment at the earliest possible time post-apprehension-whether or not the accompanying adult has asked for one."
"I have personally engaged with the Centers for Disease Control to request that their experts investigate the uptick in sick children crossing our borders and identify additional steps hospitals along the border should be undertaking to prepare for and to treat these children," Nielsen said in a statement on Dec. 26, 2018.
McAleenan said that since Nielsen's announcement, more than 200 health professionals have been embedded at border facilities and are screening new arrivals and providing critical triage-a 10-fold increase. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) also has 2,300 agents and officers who are trained EMTs and paramedics.
"I'm confident no law enforcement agency in the world is providing more critical life-saving care and medical support than CBP," McAleenan said, adding that the Coast Guard and the Public Health Service are providing vital support.
'You Do What You Have to Do'
Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) provided the hearing with his perspective of being an emergency doctor who has also helped train emergency staff for 52 hospitals across the United States.
"I've delivered a baby in a parking lot because we were just so overwhelmed. You do what you have to do when you're overwhelmed," Green told McAleenan, empathizing with the Border Patrol, who are operating under severe conditions.
"In emergency medicine, we teach our doctors to be very, very cautious because a child can be sick and not look sick," Green explained. "They look great, their vital signs are fantastic, and then they crash really fast. So expecting people, particularly people who aren't trained in emergency medicine-which took, by the way, four years of undergrad, four years of med school, and three years of residency-expecting those individuals to recognize a child that's about to crash is really inappropriate and unfair.
"And by the way, when the physician codes that patient and they die anyway, and that doctor or that nursing team has tried really hard, it's not their fault, either. They're doing the best that they can."
Ebola Concerns
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) brought up the concern of Ebola being carried into the United States-with the World Health Organization's warning on July 17 of an outbreak in Congo.
Hundreds of Africans have started coming through the southern border in recent months, after traveling up through South and Central America.
Since May 30, more than 1,100 Africans have been apprehended by Border Patrol in the Del Rio, Texas, area. They hail from 19 African nations, but most are from the Congo and Angola, according to Sector Chief Raul Ortiz.
It's an astronomical increase, considering that only eight Angolans and 11 Congolese crossed the entire southern border throughout the 12 years from 2007 through 2018, according to CBP apprehension data.
McAleenan said he's watching the Ebola developments carefully and is in close contact with Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.
"We're somewhat insulated, given the incubation period for Ebola is about 21 days [and] the journey from Africa to our border generally takes 30 days or more," McAleenan said.

"However, the photo of the young boy was actually taken on June 10, 2018 at an event protesting the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy. The boy is not a detainee.

Would-Be Refugees Trying To Buy Children To Enter The US
Some would-be refugees are reportedly trying to buy children in order to secure a trip across the Mexican border into the United States. The migrants are apparently targeting financially destitute single mothers, Mexican authorities and shelter directors both confirmed, the Seattle Times reported Sunday.
It's much easier to enter the United States with a child or children in tow because a policy known as the Flores Agreement dictates that migrant children can only be detained for a short period of time and then must be released - along with the adult who accompanied them. The family - real or not - can then wait for a refugee hearing or choose to flee.
The difference can mean days in a detention center as opposed to weeks or months in such a facility - or just being turned back. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has already indicated that migrants were "renting" children to appear like families. Then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen reported last May that illegal immigrants were "recycling" children - with several migrants claiming the same children as their own. But now it appears to be the Mexicans, who have agreed to a more robust border patrol, who are confirming reports that children have become the currency of illegal immigration, and Mexican authorities are warning migrant mothers about people potentially trafficking in human lives.
"I can't go to work because I can't take my eyes off my boys," Antonia Portillo Cruz, 44, said, according to the Times. She confirmed that traffickers are loitering about the shelter where she is staying, seeking to buy children, although she says she has not been solicited herself.
Cruz says the going rate for a child is about 7,000 Mexican pesos or $350. She is concerned that the traffickers might not take no for answer and will proceed to kidnap children for their purposes. "They want to rob our kids so they can cross into the United States," the Times reported. The Tijuana municipal police are investigating reports of people attempting to buy children. The Times notes that the phenomenon was initially reported by Tijuana journalists Yolanda Morales and Yuriria Sierra for Imagen TV. Tijuana shelter director Pastor Gustavo Banda acknowledged that many families at the border are afraid to lose sight of their children because of the constant threat of abduction, the Times noted.

Trump: ICE Will Remove Millions Of Illegal Immigrants From U.S.
President Donald Trump said Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will begin mass deportations of illegal immigrants starting next week.
The president indicated that ICE intends on attempting to remove the millions of illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. According to a Pew Research Center study released last week, 10.5 million "unauthorized" immigrants lived in the U.S. in 2o17.
"Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States," Trump tweeted late Monday night. "They will be removed as fast as they come in."
Trump also touted his new partnership with Mexico to help curb Central American migrants making their way to the U.S.-Mexico border. Mexico, in an attempt to prevent the U.S. from placing a 5% tariff on all of its exports, said they will deploy 6,000 National Guard troops to the Mexico-Guatemala border and will allow more asylum seekers to stay in Mexico.
The president has reportedly been planning to ramp up deportations for some time. Immigration officials who spoke to The Washington Post in May said former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief Kirstjen Nielsen may have been ousted partially because of her opposition to such a plan.
"There was concern that it was being hastily put together, would be ineffective and might actually backfire by misdirecting resources away from critical border emergency response operations," one DHS official said of the plan to target adult and child migrants for removal.
Nonetheless, multiple senior administration officials told The Daily Caller last month that the president was still planning on removing illegal immigrants from the U.S., and may even use the powers of the Insurrection Act to do so.

Mexican Deal Confusion: Trump Doubles Down On Farm Purchase Claim, Mexico Denies
Hours after President Trump announced that a deal had been struck with Mexico to avert a round of tariffs that had been planned to take effect on Monday, the New York Times published a story claiming that the 'agreement' that the White House had touted had actually been laid out during discussions over the past several months, implying that Trump's latest border spat with Mexico was little more than a publicity stunt.
The deal to avert tariffs that President Trump announced with great fanfare on Friday night consists largely of actions that Mexico had already promised to take in prior discussions with the United States over the past several months, according to officials from both countries who are familiar with the negotiations.
Friday's joint declaration says Mexico agreed to the "deployment of its National Guard throughout Mexico, giving priority to its southern border." But the Mexican government had already pledged to do that in March during secret talks in Miami between Kirstjen Nielsen, then the secretary of homeland security, and Olga Sanchez, the Mexican secretary of the interior, the officials said.
The centerpiece of Mr. Trump's deal was an expansion of a program to allow asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico while their legal cases proceed. But that arrangement was reached in December in a pair of painstakingly negotiated diplomatic notes that the two countries exchanged. Ms. Nielsen announced the Migrant Protection Protocols during a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee five days before Christmas.
Slamming the story as "another false report" from the NYT, Trump insisted that the latest agreement with Mexico over the border involved concessions that the US has been trying to secure for months. Without Trump's tariff threats, these concessions likely never would have been achieved. And going forward, there will now likely be "great cooperation" between both sides - and if not, Trump can always bring back his tariff threats.

Trump will tap ex-Virginia attorney general for U.S. immigration agency: Washington Post
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will pick former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli as the head of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Washington Post reported on Friday. Cuccinelli will replace L. Francis Cissna as the head of the agency, which manages the country's legal immigration system. Cissna told staff in a farewell letter on Friday he had resigned at the president's request, effective June 1, a USCIS official said. The White House is still figuring out what exactly Cuccinelli will be doing in his new role, the Post reported. A White House official did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
As Virginia's attorney general and a state senator, Cuccinelli developed a reputation as a hardliner. In Virginia, he called for denying citizenship to U.S.-born children if their parents are in the country illegally, introduced a proposal barring unemployment benefits to people who were fired from jobs for not speaking English and authorized law enforcement officials to investigate the immigration status of anyone they stopped. Cuccinelli will likely face a pitched battle for the Senate approval of his nomination, though it is controlled by Trump's Republican party. Cuccinelli heads a political group that has clashed with Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, who has vowed to block Cuccinelli from being confirmed for any administration position, according to media reports. He is also unlikely to receive much support from Senate Democrats. In April, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced her departure from the Trump administration, raising the specter of more firings of senior immigration officials.
Trump is seeking to overhaul the U.S. immigration system and has sought to crack down on illegal immigrants, but has been largely unable to enact the sweeping changes he has sought. Cuccinelli met with Trump on Monday and was expected to be picked for an immigration policy position by the president.

Trump Seeks to Hand Border Wall Construction to North Dakota Firm
Under normal circumstances, the construction project should be awarded through a contest to the company with the best offer, but Trump appears eager to cut through bureaucracy to get the job done.
US President Trump wants to build that wall - and it should be cheap and fast. And it appears like he already found the perfect men for the job: a North Dakota construction company called Fisher Industries.
Normally, the process should go through a tender with several bidders. However, Trump seems to be willing to change the rules and offer the contract to Fisher directly, believing the company can do the job faster and cheaper than competitors, according to a Washington Post report.
"The President is one of the country's most successful builders and knows better than anyone how to negotiate the best deals," White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders said. "He wants to make sure we get the job done under budget and ahead of schedule."
The company claims it has a patent-pending construction method that would make wall construction much faster and cheaper than its competitor, Washington Post report says.
The mysterious method has been tested by Senator Kevin Cramer, who visited the company's HQ in North Dakota during his 2018 Senate campaign. Back at the time, Cramer posted a photo of himself driving an excavator.
"Here at Fisher Industries in Dickinson ND, I tested just how easy it is to install a panel of wall myself," Cramer wrote on Twitter.
Speaking about Trump's involvement in the Border Wall construction project, Cramer praised the president for his organizational skills.
"Good for him. It's why he is the president of the United States. He knows a thing or two about building big projects," Cramer said. "This is why he's president."
According to Cramer, Trump was elected to "cut through Washington's entrenched bureaucracy."
Fisher is also being promoted by Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and a senior advisor to the President. Being deeply involved in the wall construction project, Kushner personally investigated why the US Army Corps of Engineers sought to favour other companies over Fisher. According to the Washington Post, initially, Fisher was rejected because its proposed wall project was of inferior quality.
After some pressure from the White House, then-DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen demanded the company make changes in their project proposal so that they could bid for the contract.

Hundreds Of TSA 'Security Ops' Deployed To Southern Border For "Immediate Need"
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is planning to send hundreds of law enforcement officials and as many as "400 people from Security Ops" to the southern border amid efforts to deal with a flood of migrants which are overwhelming current resources, CNN reported Wednesday, citing internal emails leaked to the news agency.
The task of the TSA workers, which a source said will include air marshals, will be to assist temporarily with immigration duties. TSA acknowledged in an internal email the "immediate need" comes with the acceptance of "some risk" of depleted resources in aviation security.
TSA plans for the deployments to involve up to 175 law enforcement officials and as many as "400 people from Security Ops," according to two sources and the email. At least initially, the efforts will not involve uniformed airport screeners, according to the email, which says that some parts of TSA would be asked to contribute "around 10%" of its workforce. -CNN
"There is now immediate need for more help from TSA at the SW border," said Gary Renfrow, a senior TSA official who wrote the email to the agency's regional management. "TSA has committed to support with 400 people from Security Ops" who will be deployed in waves "similar to support for past hurricanes."
"We also understand that we are accepting some risk as we enter a very busy summer," he added, calling the effort an "additional challenge."
The law enforcement officials will be drawn from six cities, according to a CNN source.
A TSA spokesman gave a non-answer: "TSA, like all DHS components, is supporting the DHS effort to address the humanitarian and security crisis at the southwest border. TSA is in the process of soliciting volunteers to support this effort while minimizing operational impact."
The assignment comes as the number of illegal border crossings is spiking, with apprehensions at a 10-year high. Some 4,300 active duty and National Guard troops are currently assisting on the border, the acting defense secretary said recently, and Customs and Border Protection shifted 750 of its own officers to assignments with Border Patrol last month. Before her ouster as Homeland Security secretary last month, Kirstjen Nielsen asked for volunteers within the ranks of DHS employees, including TSA, "to assist CBP and ICE in responding to the emergency at the southern border." -CNN
Most of those deployed will be non-screening staffers who work for the TSA's federal security directors, according to the email. The second priority will be inspectors whose job descriptions include "inspections, assessments and investigations of airlines and individuals to determine how well they comply with regulations."
The memo emphasizes in bolded, uppercase letters that Transportation Security Officers who staff airport security checkpoints will not be involved in the move.

12M Americans Out of Workforce as DHS Approves 30K More Foreign Workers
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/05/07/12m-americans-out-of-workforce-as-dhs-approves-30k-more-foreign-workers/
Nearly 12 million Americans remain out of the United States labor force as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) approved 30,000 more foreign workers businesses can bring to the country to take blue-collar U.S. jobs.
As Breitbart News reported, Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan said this week that he would approve an additional 30,000 H-2B foreign visa workers to be brought to the U.S. by businesses to take blue-collar, non-agricultural jobs. This comes as former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen approved an additional 30,000 H-2B foreign workers in March.
Every year, U.S. companies are allowed to import 66,000 low-skilled H-2B foreign workers to take blue-collar, non-agricultural jobs. For some time, the H-2B visa program has been used by businesses to bring in cheaper foreign workers and has contributed to blue-collar Americans having their wages undercut.
Meanwhile, the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data notes that there are nearly 12 million Americans who are either unemployed, underemployed, or out of the workforce but wanting a job.
About 5.8 million Americans remain unemployed. Those most likely to compete against cheaper foreign workers in blue-collar and entry-level industries - U.S. teenagers and black Americans - continue to have significantly higher unemployment rates than other demographic groups.
For example, of the 5.8 million Americans unemployed, about 754,000 are teenagers with an unemployment rate of 13 percent. Likewise, there are 388,600 black Americans who are unemployed, for an unemployment rate of 6.7 percent which is more than double the white American unemployment rate and more than triple the Asian American unemployment rate.
About 2.7 million of the unemployed population either lost their job or completed a temporary job, while 1.2 million, or 21 percent of the total unemployed, said they have been unemployed for at least 27 weeks.
Similarly, 4.7 million Americans are underemployed, that is U.S. part-time workers who want full-time jobs but are unable to find them. Another 1.4 million Americans are marginally attached to the labor force. These are U.S. workers who are ready and willing to work if they could fine a full-time job.
Of those 1.4 million Americans who are marginally attached to the labor force, 454,000 say they are "discouraged" by their job prospects and do not believe there is work for them in the current labor market.
While millions remain on the sidelines of the workforce, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has suggested that the U.S. is "out of people" in their efforts to lobby Washington, D.C. lawmakers to support an expansion of the country's legal immigration system.
For weeks, landscaping companies and lawn care businesses complained to DHS officials that there are not enough workers to fill blue collar and entry-level jobs, Breitbart News has been told. Experts, though, have warned that wage hikes that have benefited blue-collar and working-class Americans will not continue should more foreign workers saturate the labor market, decreasing the price of labor while subjecting Americans to increased competition for jobs.

Huuuuge!!! Just out!
(((??Appeals court allows Trump administration to send back asylum seekers to Mexico to wait out court process??)))
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals late Tuesday granted the Trump administration's request to send asylum seekers back to Mexico to wait out court proceedings temporarily.
The court order reversed a decision by a San Francisco judge that would have blocked the policy - giving President Trump a temporary victory on immigration.
The case must still be considered on its merits at a lower court in San Francisco and could end up at the Supreme Court. U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg ruled April 8 that the policy should be halted while the lawsuit proceeds.
The so-called "Remain in Mexico" policy was one of the primary innovations of former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who left her role with the Trump administration last month.

Trump Picks Mark Morgan to Head ICE
WASHINGTON-Filling another gap created by a big Department of Homeland Security shake-up, President Donald Trump has tapped former Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). "I am pleased to inform all of those that believe in a strong, fair and sound Immigration Policy that Mark Morgan will be joining the Trump Administration as the head of our hard working men and women of ICE," Trump wrote on Twitter on May 5. "Mark is a true believer and American Patriot. He will do a great job!"
Morgan served as former President Barack Obama's Border Patrol Chief at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017. He is also a 20-year veteran of the FBI. Trump removed Morgan six days after taking office in January 2017 and replaced him with Ronald Vitiello. Subsequently, Vitiello moved to acting director of ICE after Tom Homan retired in June 2018. And now, Morgan will replace Vitiello. Morgan has been in the public eye about border security in the last few months, vociferously supporting a border wall and the need for Congress to change legal loopholes that are allowing for hundreds of thousands of bogus asylum claims.
In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times on April 24, Morgan said the current crisis on the border is the "worst in our history." "The border is still 60 percent wide open, meaning it doesn't have enough infrastructure, technology, and personnel," Morgan said. "And because anywhere from 25 to 40 percent of Border Patrol resources are being pulled away and dedicated to the humanitarian side, the border is even more wide-open for the cartels to do what? Exploit. To bring drugs, contraband, and bad people in." Morgan's new job is focused on interior enforcement, investigations into trafficking, and preventing terrorism.
In our recent interview, Morgan touched upon several things he thinks ICE can do to stem the flow of illegal immigration, especially the huge influx of economic migrants from Central America. "I think we need to pass a regulation that will actually give ICE the ability to detain family units while they're going through the immigration process," Morgan said. "At the same time, let's reinstitute what they used to do called 'port courts.' That means we shoot all the assets, a whole government approach down to the border, everything that you need, soup-to-nuts, to be able to have the immigration hearing and do that quickly. And then, if those claims are found to be substantiated, then they'll be allowed in. If not, we remove them immediately. "And so the last part of that is we need to ramp up our interior enforcement. There are over a million illegal immigrants who entered the country illegally, filed a false claim, have received due justice through the immigration proceedings, and they've found to be false, and they've received a deportation order removal. A million, and they still remain here illegally. We can't wait for Congress. We need to act ourselves."
Trump removed Vitiello from his post at ICE early April, saying the agency is "going in a little different direction." "Ron's a good man. But we're going in a tougher direction. We want to go in a tougher direction," Trump said April 5. Two days later, Kirstjen Nielsen left her post as Secretary of Homeland Security, and then-CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan assumed the mantle of acting secretary.

FBI chief: Russia upping meddling efforts ahead of 2020, midterms was a "dress rehearsal"
'''FBI chief: Russia upping meddling efforts ahead of 2020, midterms a 'dress rehearsal'

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Friday that the 2018 midterm elections served as a "dress rehearsal" for Russian election interference efforts slated to be aimed at affecting the 2020 presidential election.'''
Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations, the FBI director said that Russian operatives and other foreign agents were "adapting" to the efforts the U.S. intelligence community is taking to secure America's election systems.
"Well, I think-on the one hand I think enormous strides have been made since 2016 by all the different federal agencies, state and local election officials, the social media companies, et cetera," Wray said.
"But I think we recognize that our adversaries are going to keep adapting and upping their game. And so we're very much viewing 2018 as just kind of a dress rehearsal for the big show in 2020," he added.
One area Wray pointed to where the FBI has seen improvement is in cooperation with social media companies such as Twitter and Facebook, where Russian election meddling was centered during 2016.
"The flow of information back and forth between law enforcement and the intelligence community and Silicon Valley, I think, has gotten dramatically better," Wray said.
"I think those companies recognize that there is a need for them to take action, so that their own platforms are not abused," he added.
Officials at the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have touted the Trump administration's efforts to secure election systems and combat interference from other countries in recent months.
In January, the director of DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency told Congress that the government was "lightyears ahead" of its capabilities in 2016.
It was reported this week, however, that former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was warned by White House aides not to discuss the matter with President Trump, who has frequently downplayed Russian election meddling efforts in 2016.

Pentagon prepping $22M expansion to southern border mission, eases migrant contact rules
In an effort to expand the U.S. military presence at the southern border, the Pentagon is expected to ease rules that prohibit some service members' contact with migrants.
Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan is preparing to approve a Department of Homeland Security request on Friday that will authorize contact waivers for lawyers, cooks, and drivers in the military so they can deploy to the border to assist with the migrant crisis, defense officials told The Washington Post.
The waivers would be granted for more than 300 troops, bypassing long-term rules that forbid contact between military personnel and the migrants.
The request is part of a $21.9 million military expansion effort on the southern border for 2019.
Cooks would be tasked with distributing food to migrants held in detention centers and as well as occasionally documenting the care received by migrants.
Drivers would transport migrants to and from detention centers while being in a segregated compartment and accompanied by Customs and Border Protection officials.
Military lawyers would be tasked with deportation hearings for migrants in New Mexico, Louisiana, and New York.
Aside from detailing what the troops would be permitted to do, the documents also stipulate what they cannot do. The documents specifically state that military service members cannot conduct law enforcement activities due to the Posse Comitatus Act.
The act, passed in 1898, prohibits U.S. troops from acting in the role of law enforcement while in U.S. territory. The intent of the law was to prevent federal troops from exercising control over states.
The Pentagon has been careful in crafting language so that military personnel's duties have not encroached on the act, something they also did in Nov. 2018 when authorizing military personnel to protect border agents.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apprehended and blocked more than 103,000 illegal immigrants in March alone, an increase of 38 percent from February, or 148 percent from March 2018, the Washington Examiner reported. It's also the highest number in a decade.
"Our capacity is already severely strained, but these increases will overwhelm the system entirely," Former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in March. "This is not a 'manufactured' crisis. This is truly an emergency."
CBP agents have been pulled from ports of entry on the southern border and reassigned to migrant housing where detention centers are overwhelmed. At least 750 border agents were moved from their southern entry ports, and another 100 agents were expected to be pulled from entry ports on the border with Canada.

DHS tells Army Corps to skirt land regs, begin $1B project to replace 53 miles of border fence
The Department of Homeland Security issued two more waivers this week allowing the Army Corps of Engineers to bypass environmental laws and start a nearly $1 billion project to replace roughly 50 miles of border fence in parts of Arizona and Texas that are seeing high levels of illegal activity. The department announced Friday the new construction projects will go up near El Paso, Texas, and Yuma, Ariz. Two weeks ago, the Army Corps awarded SLSCO $789 million for the El Paso project and Barnard Construction $187 million for the El Paso operation, a Federal Register entry states. The Pentagon is funding both projects. President Trump campaigned in 2016 to build what he called a "beautiful" wall between the U.S. and Mexico. When he took office in January 2017, the barrier between both countries' 1,954-mile border covered approximately one-third of that space.
In the two years and three months that he has been in office, the Trump administration has completed less than 40 miles of barrier, the majority of which has been replacement. Of the Border Patrol's nine regions, the El Paso and Yuma border sectors affected by this week's DHS decisions have the second- and third-highest number of families illegally crossing the border, respectively. El Paso will get 46 miles of steel bollard fence and Yuma will get seven miles of the same replacement fence in areas that have "dilapidated and outdated designs," according to DHS. Both regions will also see new paved roads installed and improved lighting systems.
DHS justified waiving the environmental and land regulations on the basis that the projects were under authority given to a secretary in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act of 1996. The IIRIRA states a secretary can waive all legal requirements if a barrier, road, or other infrastructure is immediately needed for national security purposes. The waiver is the fourth such instance of DHS ploughing ahead with replacement and new wall projects since the fall, and the 12th time any secretary has cited the 1996 law in order to bypass others. The decision is expected to upset environmental groups, though DHS said it "remains committed to environmental stewardship."
"DHS has been coordinating and consulting, and intends to continue doing so, with other federal and state resource agencies to ensure that impacts to the environment, wildlife, and cultural and historic artifacts are analyzed and minimized, to the greatest extent possible," the department said in the announcement. Last October, then-Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen waived regulations for 18 miles of barrier in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and another project for 11 gates in the region. Then in February, Nielsen skirted land regulations for 12 miles of a secondary barrier in San Diego, Calif.

US 'Aggressively' Building Trump's Border Wall, DHS Chief Says
The acting secretary of Homeland Security pushed back on the narrative that President Donald Trump's border wall is not being built, pointing out that construction has actually been going at an aggressive pace.
"So normally for a federal project of this scope, from the time you get funded to starting, it's over two years," Kevin McAleenan said Tuesday on Fox News. "We've already built the 2017 funding in less than two years. That shows how aggressively we're moving out on this."
McAleenan - who became acting DHS secretary earlier in April after Kirstjen Nielsen resigned - has been tapped by the Trump administration to lead the agency at a time when the U.S. southern border is experiencing record numbers of illegal migrants, many of them Central American families.
Trump has been forced to fight tooth-and-nail with congressional Democrats over border wall funding. The federal government experienced its longest shutdown in U.S. history as the two camps fought over how much money could be appropriated for wall construction. The White House is being sued after it declared a national emergency on the southern border, allowing it to allocate billions more in funding.
The new DHS leader said more military troops are needed to help alleviate the crisis.
"They helped us repel two attempts by a caravan to enter the United States by helping us fortify ports of entry," he said to host Dana Perino, adding that their presence has helped free up border agents to enforce immigration laws. "They're going to be helping us build the wall, too."
McAleenan called for an overhaul of the country's immigration laws, but cited two areas specifically that are in dire need of reform. Homeland Security agents, he argued, need to be able to detain migrant families together and also have ability to repatriate migrant children from noncontiguous countries.
The requests closely mirrored what former DHS secretary Nielsen asked of Congress in March. The since-axed secretary sent a letter to lawmakers asking them for legislative fixes that would address a number of issues that have contributed to the immigration crisis. Namely, current immigration laws are not well-equipped to handle the massive number of family units from noncontiguous countries, which has resulted in overcrowded detention centers across the country.

DHS request for more troops at the border is sent to the Pentagon
Kate Sullivan byline
By Ryan Browne and Kate Sullivan, CNN
Updated 9:07 PM ET, Thu April 25, 2019
https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/25/politics/dhs-border-troops-pentagon/index.html
(CNN)The new Department of Homeland Security Request for Assistance for additional US troops and other logistical support on the southern border has been sent to the Pentagon but has yet to be signed by acting Secretary of Defense Pat Shanahan, according to two US defense officials.
The request arrived late Wednesday and is being reviewed. There are no guarantees that all the requests will be approved, and the Department of Defense has previously rejected requests, pending DHS edits.
At the Pentagon last Friday, Shanahan told reporters he did not "have a finite number" in terms of how many additional troops would be sent but that the Pentagon was "looking at anticipating" what DHS needs prior to the receipt of a formal request for assistance.
"Where DHS loses its capacity is in the migrant family processing, when you think about their finite ability to do apprehensions they're really kind of trapped back in the processing side of things," Shanahan said, "so working with the joint staff, we're finding a way to how do we do more monitoring and detection for them, do we maybe take that on as a mission."
Over the last year thousands of American troops ahve been deployed to the southern border. At its peak, some 5,900 troops were part of the border mission, which has involved surveillance, aviation support and the placement of concertina wire between ports of entry.
Currently there are 3,000 active duty troops and 2,000 National Guard personnel deployed in support of border security.
Two US soldiers on the border recently found themselves in an encounter with armed Mexican troops, an incident that saw the Mexican forces remove one of the American soldiers' sidearms.
President Donald Trump told reporters earlier this month that he is "going to have to call up more military" to the southern border to address a historic increase in the number of migrant apprehensions.
There were more apprehensions on the southern border in March than in any other month in more than a decade, according to data released by Customs and Border Protection.
Department of Homeland Security officials have said the influx of migrants has caused the agency to reach a breaking point. Earlier this month Trump announced then-Homeland Secrurity Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen would be leaving her position, and her second in command, acting deputy Claire Grady, also left the department.

Trump Warns Mexico over Guns Drawn on US Troops: 'Better Not Happen Again!'
President Trump on Wednesday warned Mexico after their soldiers reportedly drew guns on U.S. troops at the border last week, while also calling on America's southern neighbor to do more to halt another north-bound migrant caravan.
"Mexico's Soldiers recently pulled guns on our National Guard Soldiers, probably as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers on the Border. Better not happen again! We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border. Mexico is not doing nearly enough in apprehending & returning!" he tweeted.
The president's tweets come after several Mexican military personnel reportedly questioned U.S Army soldiers who were on patrol duty near the border in Texas. Mexican soldiers reportedly pointed their weapons at U.S. troops during the encounter. The Mexican soldiers reportedly believed that the U.S. Army soldiers were on Mexican territory.
The president of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd, said over the weekend that "these things don't just happen by accident."
"I don't know one Border Patrol agent that is going to accept that story that the Mexican military thought that these national guardsmen were in Mexico," Judd said on "Fox & Friends." "We have hundreds upon hundreds incursions by the Mexican military into the U.S., yet we have very few incursions by Border Patrol agents into Mexico."
Trump also warned Wednesday of a "very big" caravan and threatened, once again, to close part of the southern border.
"A very big Caravan of over 20,000 people started up through Mexico. It has been reduced in size by Mexico but is still coming. Mexico must apprehend the remainder or we will be forced to close that section of the Border & call up the Military. The Coyotes & Cartels have weapons!" the president tweeted early Wednesday.
Mexican immigration authorities are attempting to detain individuals who are part of the large caravan currently migrating north. On Monday, Mexican officials said 371 people were detained, in what was their largest single raid thus far on a migrant caravan since the groups started moving through the country last year.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the government is not letting migrants go wherever they please, but said that controls are for migrants' security because human traffickers are allegedly infiltrated among the caravans.
"We don't want for them to just have free passage, not just out of legal concerns but for questions of safety," he said.
According to Mexican immigration authorities, Mexico has deported 11,800 migrants so far this month and is being more selective in who is given a visa, which allows a migrant to remain in the country and work.
Trump has threatened for months to close the border if Mexico does not stop the flows of migrants, and if Congress does not act to end what he calls "loopholes" in immigration law that allow detained migrants to be released into the U.S. until a scheduled court date.
Earlier this month, Trump visited the border amid an escalating immigration crisis, lamenting that "our country is full" and warning potential migrants thinking about crossing into the U.S. that this country "can't take you anymore."
"Whether it's asylum, whether it's anything you want, its illegal immigration, can't take you anymore. Our country is full, our area is full, the sector is full, can't take you anymore. I'm sorry, can't happen, so turn around–that's the way it is," Trump said at a roundtable in Calexico, California earlier this month.
The president has warned of a full-fledged crisis at the border for months. This week, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the total apprehensions at the border for 2019 surpassed the total apprehensions for 2018. CBP said that as of last week, Border Patrol had apprehended more than 418,000 migrants since the beginning of fiscal 2019. Along the southwest border, there have been more than 414,000 apprehensions so far this year, compared with 396,579 last fiscal year.
The border crisis comes amid a massive shakeup at the Department of Homeland Security. Earlier this month, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned. The president appointed then-CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan to replace her as acting secretary.
McAleenan has appointed John Sanders to serve as acting CBP commissioner; former head of the Transportation Security Administration David Pekoske to be his acting deputy secretary at DHS; and Patricia Cogswell as acting TSA administrator. The White House, earlier this month, announced that James M. Murray would become head of the U.S. Secret Service–replacing Randolph "Tex" Alles.

Nielsen was warned not to talk to Trump about new Russian election interference: report
Former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was warned not to brief President Trump on possible Russian election interference in the 2020 election, according to The New York Times.
Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney reportedly warned Nielsen not to bring the topic up in front of the president, despite Nielsen's concern that the Russians would attempt to influence another U.S. presidential election.
Mulvaney reportedly said it "wasn't a great subject and should be kept below [the president's] level."
The reported warning came amid special counsel Robert Mueller's nearly 2-year investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, which expanded to a probe into whether Trump or associates cooperated in the attempt.

The Department of Energy on Wednesday night denied a report that Rick Perry is planning to leave his position as secretary of the agency.
"There is no truth that Perry is departing the Administration any time soon," Department of Energy press secretary Shaylyn Hynes said in a tweet. "He is happy where he is serving President Trump and leading the Department of Energy."
The statement from Hynes came shortly after Bloomberg News reported that Perry was planning his exit from the Trump administration. Bloomberg News, citing two people familiar with the plans, said that the former Texas governor was finalizing the terms and timing of his departure.
The outlet noted that Perry's departure was not imminent, and that he was preparing the agency's deputy secretary, Dan Brouillette, for the transition.
Perry has served as the head of the DOE since being confirmed in March 2017.
He said earlier this month that he had no interest in replacing Kirstjen Nielsen as Homeland Security secretary following her resignation.
"I'm happy where I am and the president is happy where I am," Perry told Bloomberg News.
His comments came after The Washington Post reported that Perry was among a list of possible candidates to be nominated to replace Nielsen.

New Homeland Security chief urges Congress to address border crisis

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan urged Congress on Wednesday to address what he called "both a humanitarian and security crisis" at the U.S.-Mexico border.
In his first public appearance since he replaced Kirstjen Nielsen last week at the Department of Homeland Security, McAleenan emphasized that lax asylum and immigration laws encourage Central American migrants to trek to the border.
"Without action from Congress, criminals will continue to profit from human misery along our border," McAleenan said at a press conference near the border in Hidalgo, Texas. "It's clear that all of our resources are being stretched thin. The system is full and we are beyond capacity."
McAleenan, who was previously Trump's Senate-confirmed Customs and Border Protection commissioner and a former Obama administration official, warned that a rising tide of migrants at the border will place more strain on law enforcement and local service providers.
"We don't have room to hold them, we don't have the authority to remove them, and they are not likely to be able to be allowed to remain in the country at the end of their immigration proceedings," he said.
McAleenan takes the job as arrests along the border are soaring. In March, Border Patrol picked up nearly 93,000 migrants, the highest monthly level since April 2007. Over the past year, border arrests remained well below historic peaks during the 1990s and early 2000s, but that could change if the pace of new arrivals fails to slacken.
Families made up more than half the March total, a new trend that McAleenan and other officials argue presents unique health and safety challenges.
The administration contends that migrants will be deterred from trekking north if Congress grants DHS broader enforcement authority. The White House has pressed lawmakers to permit children to be detained for longer than 20 days and to allow unaccompanied minors from Central America to be deported more swiftly.
Democrats, however, have countered that Trump's hard-line immigration policies haven't worked and have exacerbated an ongoing humanitarian crisis at the border.
The acting secretary was joined Wednesday by Matthew Albence, who became the top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official last week when former acting director Ronald Vitiello was pushed out.
Albence, the acting deputy director, said hundreds of ICE personnel had been reassigned recently to assist with the custody and processing of migrant families at the border.
"This reallocation of resources comes at a significant cost," said Albence, who donned a pair of reflective aviator sunglasses during the press conference. "Criminal aliens, gang members and public safety threats remain at large because [ICE officers] needed to locate and apprehend them have been redirected to process family units and manage the ever-increasing immigration court dockets."
Also in attendance was Rodolfo Karisch, the Border Patrol sector chief for the Rio Grande Valley.

Advisory Panel Gives McAleenan Slate of Recommendations to Manage Surge of Family Migration
April 17, 2019 Kylie Bull
https://www.hstoday.us/subject-matter-areas/border-security/hsac-report-on-family-migration-mcaleenan-welcomes-recommendations-as-apprehensions-up-600-percent/
On October 4, 2018, then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen asked the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) to examine the care of families and children in the temporary custody of Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The HSAC, an executive-branch committee formed by a 2002 executive order, created a CBP Family and Child Custody Panel as a subcommittee of the HSAC to "provide findings and recommendations on the best practices of other federal, state and local organizations regarding care for families and children in CBP custody."
The panel was directed to conduct border visits and interviews to observe and understand CBP's "unique operating environment and infrastructure," meet with experts to identify best practices for the processing and care of children in custody, and recommend any needed changes to CBP policies, procedures or training. Since its inception approximately five months ago, the panel increased its membership to include a practicing pediatrician who is a national expert on the maltreatment of children. Overall, the 10-member panel is politically bipartisan and composed of experts in the various areas under review.
HSAC's emergency interim report, released April 16, says the unprecedented surge in family unit (FMU) migration from Central America is overwhelming U.S. border agencies and the immigration system and that this crisis is endangering children.
"In too many cases, children are being used as pawns by adult migrants and criminal smuggling organizations solely to gain entry into the U.S.," the report states. Resources are currently absorbed in dealing with this crisis to the detriment of other border security missions, including apprehending migrants illegally seeking to evade detection, such as criminal aliens and those who pose a public safety or national security threat; uncovering instances of trafficking; fraudulent family relationships and other criminal activity among this population; and monitoring the border for drug smuggling and other contraband.
Through its investigations and research the panel found that after being held for several days at inadequate and overcrowded holding areas at U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) stations, most of the adults - provided they have a child with them and have stated that they fear returning to their country of origin - are issued Notices to Appear (NTA) at a later time before an immigration judge somewhere in the U.S. and then dropped at a local bus station or delivered to already overwhelmed nonprofit shelters. The NTA, combined with long delays in the adjudication of asylum claims, means that these migrants are guaranteed several years of living (and in most cases working) in the U.S. Even if the asylum hearing and appeals ultimately go against the migrant, he or she still has the practical option of simply remaining in the U.S. illegally, where the odds of being caught and removed remain very low.
By far, the major "pull factor" is the current practice of releasing with an NTA most illegal migrants who bring a child with them. The crisis is further exacerbated by a 2017 federal court order in Flores v. DHS expanding to FMUs a 20-day release requirement contained in a 1997 consent decree, originally applicable only to unaccompanied children. After being given NTAs, it is estimated that 15 percent of family units or fewer will likely be granted asylum. The current time to process an asylum claim for anyone who is not detained is over two years, not counting appeals.
The panel says CBP will need to reassign an increasing number of officers stationed at ports of entry to assist in handling the surge in FMU migration. Such migrations will continue until the cause is addressed, and the report says such a change requires emergency action by the U.S. government.

This is the most messed up article I've ever read
REPORT: Trump sending THOUSANDS of troops to the US border
A new report out today suggests that Trump could be sending as many as 10,000 troops to the border in the next few months. Or it could be closer to 3,000 troops.
Either way it looks like Trump is trying to get some military help to the border and it's long over due:
NEWSWEEK - President Donald Trump ordered thousands of additional American troops to the southwest border over the next two months, according to a document drafted last week by Defense Department officials and obtained by Newsweek.
Officials in U.S. Army North, the unit overseeing the border mission, drafted the deployment orders in anticipation of a new request from Homeland Security to aid U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the ongoing joint agency border mission.
The document further demonstrated President Trump's increasing urgency to address a crisis at the southern border, with the orders being drafted days after Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned on April 7.
Four Defense Department sources told Newsweek the document appears to show between 9,000 to 10,000 more U.S. forces heading to the southwest border over the next few months; however, the Pentagon said Tuesday the document is misleading as not every individual service member in a unit selected to deploy will go.
A Pentagon spokesperson told Newsweek by phone Tuesday morning that U.S. military planners are anticipating sending a "brigade minus" or about 3,000 additional U.S. forces to join units already at the border, but they had not received a new request for assistance from Homeland Security to identify how many additional troops would be needed.
However, on Tuesday afternoon, the Pentagon emailed a Newsweek reporter and said the number is not 3,000, and the document Newsweek obtained was a draft copy and if Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan approved any Homeland Security request, the number of additional troops would range between 300 and 500.
Three Defense Department sources told Newsweek the document is not a draft copy and if it were, draft would be displayed on the document near the classification markings.
At the bottom of the copy obtained by Newsweek, U.S. Army Lieutenant General Jeffrey Buchanan, the commanding general of U.S. Army North, authenticated the document.
There's a big difference between 3-500 and 3,000. I certainly hope that whatever they send is a lot more than 500. The border can use all the help that it can get.
It's also not clear what the military will be doing to assist at the border, but if past experience is any indication they'll be putting up barriers to prevent caravans from getting in.
I would also hope they can defend against these drug cartels that have been causing chaos in certain areas.

"All of the infrastructure put into place in 2005-06 was designed because of the cartels smuggling dope across our border and stealing vehicles, stealing farm tractors, and doing rapes, robberies and homicides," Wilmot said. "It's not something we want to get back into.
"Having that portion of the infrastructure, as well as the other technology, helped cut that situation that we were dealing with."
In the current immigration crisis, the immigrants who are held - mostly for drug crimes - cost his jail $1.1 million each year. For example, two of the immigrants required dialysis three days a week.
Wilmot says he got a federal reimbursement of $56,000.
"The feds aren't paying their bills now," he said. "And now we're looking at a situation where they're going to put more impact on the local communities by releasing families into our communities."
Wilmot connected the current immigration crisis to America's fentanyl and synthetic opioid crises, which have claimed more than 70,000 lives.
One seizure at a drug tunnel along the border in August netted 6.5 pounds of fentanyl.
"That was enough powder to kill the whole population of the state of Arizona," Wilmot said.
"The fentanyl epidemic is hitting San Luis hard," Mayor Jerry Sanchez said. "We do have our overdoses in kids, and it's poisoning our kids. It's affecting our neighborhoods and schools.
"I'm having to put our major resources in trying to fight the fentanyl epidemic."
Both men say the illegal drugs slip through the cracks of the ports and through unsecured parts of the southern border.
In both cases, officers for Customs and Border Protection and Border Patrol have been reassigned to process, feed and clothe migrants.
"The asylum laws need to be changed," Wilmot says. "That's obvious because they're being exploited each and every day by these groups. Nine out of ten asylum claims are denied by the judges, once they get there.
"ICE doesn't have enough time - 20 days - to determine if these are fake families."
Wilmot also wants more immigration judges - even via video - to process cases from the Yuma Federal Courthouse.
LEGAL LABOR SUFFERS
Good help is already hard to find for Jonathan Lines, the former chairman of the Arizona Republican Party.
He lives in Yuma where he just built his first housing subdivision.
"We simply don't have enough people who are legal," Lines said.
Some of the migrant workers Lines needs don't want to wait in eight-hour lines at the port.
He supports legislation that would allow Mexican workers to stay 75 miles into the U.S. so they wouldn't have to go home every night.
"That lessens some of the restrictions put into place by the Department of Labor and the Department of Agriculture," he said.
Rep. Russ Jones, R-Yuma, who also owns a trucking company, said he has the same struggles with labor.
But Jones would like to see his family more often across the border in Mexicali, a 75-minute drive west from Yuma - without waiting at a slow, congested port.
"You really have to plan it in advance because you know you're going to spend hours in a line trying to come home," Jones said.
"It's really hard on the social structure of the border."
'IT'S ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING'
Another common feeling these stakeholders shared was neglect from their federal leaders.
They entertained visits from former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and President Donald Trump in early April, as well as members of Congress from Arizona's delegation and other federal officials.
But the stakeholders say none of them are doing anything to fix the problem.
"This is not about Democrats or Republicans," Sanchez said. "It's about doing the right thing."
Wilmot agreed. "We've been ringing this bell since September of last year. They ignored it."

White House weighs travel restrictions for countries with frequent visa overstays
The White House is weighing travel restrictions for nationals of countries with high rates of overstaying visas in the United States, according to a Department of Homeland Security official.
Some of the countries with the highest rates of overstaying temporary visas are in Africa. Chad, Burkina Faso, Djibouti, Eritrea, Liberia, Somalia, and South Sudan have among the highest overstay rates for short-term tourist and business visas, although they send relatively small numbers of travelers to the U.S. each year. During a meeting in January 2018, President Donald Trump reportedly referred to Haiti and some African nations as "shithole countries" and questioned why their nationals should be admitted to the U.S.
The prospective action, which was also confirmed by a congressional staffer, comes amid a leadership shakeup among Trump's top immigration staff. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen left her post last week and three other officials recently resigned or were pushed out. The departures clear the way for the White House to implement a range of new enforcement measures - including the prospective travel clampdown.

Democrats zero in on Trump aide Stephen Miller
It is unusual for members of Congress to call on aides to testify, but Democrats say he may be able to best explain the president's sanctuary city policies.
WASHINGTON - House Democrats are sharpening their focus on White House immigration adviser Stephen Miller, with key lawmakers saying he should be brought before congressional committees to testify about his role in recent policy controversies.
The talk of bringing Miller before lawmakers comes days after The Washington Post reported that he played a key role in a plan first discussed last year to release undocumented immigrants into "sanctuary cities" represented by President Donald Trump's Democratic critics. While the plan never came to fruition because of objections from agency officials, Trump has since embraced the idea.
With a slate of new vacancies at the Department of Homeland Security, including the departure last week of the secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, Miller has emerged as a key target for Democrats who see him as an influential survivor in an administration that has otherwise churned through personnel.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., on Sunday cited Miller's role in developing the targeted-release plan in calling on him to testify. "Steve Miller, who seems to be the boss of everybody on immigration, ought to come before Congress and explain some of these policies," he said in a CNN interview.
While Cabinet officials routinely testify before Congress on budget and oversight matters, it is unusual for lawmakers to publicly question presidential advisers like Miller - particularly in an adversarial scenario. Presidents of both parties have declined to make their executive aides available to congressional committees, citing the constitutional separation of powers.
Miller, a former congressional aide whose title is senior policy adviser, has played a central role in the Trump administration's aggressive and controversial immigration policies since its earliest days - helping to orchestrate the January 2017 executive order that barred travelers from seven countries and suspended refugee admissions.
More recently, he has been a firm proponent inside the White House of adopting a zero-tolerance approach at the U.S.-Mexico border to deter asylum seekers streaming toward the United States from Central America. Homeland Security officials say he has pressured agencies to take firmer action to fight the recent surge of migrants massing at the border.
Regarding the policy of targeting sanctuary cities - jurisdictions that do not fully cooperate with federal immigration authorities - for the release of undocumented immigrants, a congressional investigator told The Washington Post, "It was basically an idea that Miller wanted that nobody else wanted to carry out."
Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., chairwoman of the House Homeland Security subcommittee on border security, facilitation and operations, said in an interview that Miller needs to come before her panel to "make his case for these terrible policies to the American people instead of being this shadow puppeteer."
"It's clear that he's the one pulling the strings," she said. "And if he's going to continue advocating for these policies and personnel change, then he needs to come before the American people and explain himself. He has to be held accountable."
Miller and White House communications officials did not respond Sunday to requests for comment on Miller.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders said during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" that the administration was "looking at all options" regarding the targeted release plan. The proposal, she said, is not an "ideal solution" but is one that could be implemented if Democrats refuse to negotiate with Trump on border security.
Trump, meanwhile, conducted a Saturday night Twitter back-and-forth with Democratic Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf with a suggestion that she and other mayors did not want to host immigrants detained at the border. "If they don't want to serve our Nation by taking care of them, why should other cities & towns?" he said.
Schaaf, who last year oversaw the strengthening of Oakland's sanctuary policy and warned residents of an upcoming federal immigration raid, told Trump to "stop fanning hate and division" in a tweet of her own. "Oakland welcomes all, no matter where you came from or how you got here," she said.
Trump and his deputies otherwise spent the weekend pushing congressional Democrats to take legislative action to address the border crisis. "Democrats must change the Immigration Laws FAST," Trump tweeted Saturday. "If not, Sanctuary Cities must immediately ACT to take care of the Illegal Immigrants."

Boston Globe writer urges waiters to 'tamper' with food of Republicans
A Boston Globe columnist called for waiters to contaminate the food of Trump administration officials. The column by Luke O'Neil was modified and then taken down by Globe editors. "Keep Kirstjen Nielsen unemployed and eating Grubhub over her kitchen sink," referring to the recently ousted Department of Homeland Security secretary. "As for the waiters out there, I'm not saying you should tamper with anyone's food, as that could get you into trouble," O'Neil wrote. "You might lose your serving job. But you'd be serving America. And you won't have any regrets years later." He added that '"not pissing in Bill Kristol's salmon" when he was a waiter was one of his eternal regrets. "I was waiting on the disgraced neoconservative pundit and chief Iraq War cheerleader about 10 years ago at a restaurant in Cambridge and to my eternal dismay, some combination of professionalism and pusillanimity prevented me from appropriately seasoning his entree,"
The Globe to found itself dealing with a wave of outrage. Herman Cain, one of President Trump's two picks for the Federal Reserve Board, tweeted, "Who makes the editorial decisions at the Boston Globe?"
O'Neil hit back at the Globe for removing the article from its website. "Absolute brain genius move by the Globe to edit my story three times then take it down altogether and put up a note saying I'm not on staff instead of perhaps standing by a long time contributor and siding with labor instead of bad faith critics who would hate them no matter what," O'Neil said on Twitter. He added: "I will never write for them again."

Discussions this week, at the White House meeting and afterward, have included the suggestion that troops may be needed to run the tent city detention camps once immigrants are being housed there, according to the U.S. officials familiar with the conversations.
The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of federal troops for domestic law enforcement inside the U.S. This prevents them from direct interaction with immigrants crossing into the country. One U.S. official said recent meetings have included discussions about whether using active duty troops to run a detention camp would be a violation of Posse Comitatus.
While there has been discussion of an increase in troops, no specific numbers have been mentioned, and officials do not expect a large number of additional troops to be needed for any new mission.
A U.S. border patrol official speaking on the condition of anonymity said the military allows for faster construction than private contractors, who can protest decisions and slow down the process.
"The importance of DOD is that they are able to mobilize quickly because we face an immediate crisis now," said the border patrol official.
As an example of the crisis, the border patrol official said on Tuesday, 253 Central Americans, mainly families were stopped in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Large groups present a challenge for border agents who must process, shelter and often find medical care for immigrants.
The border patrol official said he is not aware of plans to use troops to run detention facilities for migrants and noted it would be in violation of U.S. law.
The White House meeting came just two days after Trump tweeted that his secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, was leaving and that Kevin McAleenan, the CBP commissioner, would replace her as acting secretary. DHS Acting Deputy Secretary Claire Grady has also resigned.
On Wednesday, during a visit to Texas, Trump spoke about increasing the number of U.S. troops assigned to the border mission and alluded to the limitations to using active duty troops there.
"I'm going to have to call up more military. Our military, don't forget, can't act like a military would act. Because if they got a little rough, everybody would go crazy. … Our military can't act like they would normally act. … They have all these horrible laws that the Democrats won't change. They will not change them."
DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, Defense Department spokesperson Lt. Col. Jamie Davis, said: "As we said last year when we were looking at possible facilities at Fort Bliss and Goodfellow Air Force Base, DOD could be involved in the possible construction of facilities to house immigrants. There are currently no new requests for assistance."

Kris Kobach Says He's In Talks With Trump Administration About DHS Secretary Post
President Donald Trump is set to find a replacement for outgoing Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and Kobach is in the running to fill that role.
" got an important decision to make," Kobach told The Washington Examiner. "If he wants to have me serve in this capacity, and thinks it would be the best thing for the country, I would certainly do so."
Kobach appeared Monday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" about his ideas for securing the border.
Not every member of the GOP is a fan of Kobach.
Republican Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts shot down rumors about Kobach's prospects of being confirmed by the Republican-led Senate on Tuesday.
"Don't go there, we can't confirm him," Roberts told The Kansas City Star.
Kobach told Tucker Carlson that if given the opportunity, he would immediately implement policies that do not require congressional approval, such as deploying FEMA trailers to border cities and having Mexico sign the Safe Third Country Agreement.
"Unless you sign the Safe Third Country Agreement, so that any asylum applicant has to apply to the safe first country they step foot in," he said. "They can't walk all the way through Mexico and then say, 'Oh, we're applying for asylum here in the United States.'"
He also said DHS leadership "has been unwilling to execute many of the president's plans."
"I have been in the room when the president has given express orders to leadership at DHS and been assured that yes, those orders will be carried out, and then a year later nothing has happened," he added.
Nielsen, who left her position Wednesday after intense scrutiny about her handling of Trump's border agenda, was one component of a bevy of DHS and senior immigration personnel changes.
Other DHS officials have announced their resignations already or are rumored to be soon leaving. This comes in the wake of reports that immigration hawks like White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller have exerted more influence over border policy in recent weeks.
Trump was reportedly mulling the decision to appoint Kobach as an "immigration czar" to coordinate his border policies across federal agencies, according to The Associated Press.

COMPLETE LACK OF EMPATHY': CHRISSY TEIGEN SLAMS IVANKA TRUMP FOR POSTING PICTURES OF HER KIDS WHILE CHILDREN ARE SEPARATED AT THE BORDER
BY BRENDAN COLE ON 4/12/19 AT 6:26 AM EDT
Chrissy Teigen criticized Ivanka Trump for a "lack of empathy" for the fate of children who were separated at the U.S.-Mexico border. The model and immigrants' rights activist was asked at the House Democrats' annual Issues Conference in Leesburg, Virginia, on Thursday about how she felt as a mother when seeing the images of children taken from their parents that caused controversy last year.
The discontinued White House "zero tolerance" policy saw adults caught illegally crossing the border into the U.S. facing criminal prosecution. This resulted in children being taken from their parents and put into government custody. Chrissy Teigen at the WSJ Magazine 2018 Innovator Awards. She has called out Ivanka Trump for lacking empathy over the fate of children separated from their parents at the U.S. border.
Teigen, who was taking questions with her husband, singer John Legend, said: "It's a painful thing to see that, and it's a painful thing to see such a complete lack of empathy when it comes from people, like Ivanka, I will say, that can post all day, pictures of her children that are just in her home and 'oh my daughter is having trouble in her crib' or 'my daughter is doing this' and 'my daughter is doing this.'
"There are children out there that don't have that opportunity. Honestly, I cannot fathom for a second how scared our children would be if they were without us," Teigen said, per a CNN broadcast of the conference.
After the White House ended the controversial policy last year, Ivanka Trump thanked her father, President Donald Trump, in a tweet on June 20: "Thank you @POTUS for taking critical action ending family separation at our border. Congress must now act + find a lasting solution that is consistent with our shared values;the same values that so many come here seeking as they endeavor to create a better life for their families."
She later tweeted that "it is time to focus on swiftly and safely reuniting the families that have been separated."
Ivanka Trump said in August 2018 that the separation policy was a low point for her in the administration. "That was a low point for me as well. I feel very strongly about that, and I am very vehemently against family separation and the separation of parents and children, so I would agree with that sentiment," she said, according to NBC News.
At the Democrats' Issues Conference, Teigen also spoke more broadly about her concern for "what the parents have to go through" to come to the U.S. She the turned her criticism toward Donald Trump's attitude on immigrants.
"These aren't demons, these aren't people that are monsters. Donald Trump treats everything like it's an episode [of the movie] The Village, where there is this wall and these monsters to keep outside."
- Donald Trump has said that his administration is not considering resuming the separation of parents and children at the border, telling reporters this week, "We're not looking to do that, no... [but] when you don't do it, it brings a lot more people to the border."
Trump has shaken up the Department for Homeland Security this week, appointing Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan as acting DHS secretary to replace Kirstjen Nielsen.
Condemned globally, the now-shelved "zero tolerance" policy of separating families at the U.S.-Mexico border, was also unpopular in the U.S., with a Quinnipiac University poll last June at the height of the controversy suggesting that two-thirds of Americans did not like it.
On Wednesday, Trump said he might mobilize more military at the border with Mexico, telling reporters during a visit to Texas: "I'm going to have to call up more military."

Matthew Albence, who two administration officials say will be tapped as ICE's acting director by Friday, wrote back and pointed out the flaws with the plan, including the "operational burden" in transporting so many migrants.
"Not sure how paying to transport aliens to another location to release them - when they can be released on the spot - is a justified expenditure. Not to mention the liability should there be an accident along the way," he wrote, according to the Post.
President Donald Trump says he's not looking to reinstate the much-criticized practice of separating migrant families at the border with Mexico. (April 9) AP
The White House again brought up the proposal in February amid the government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history after Trump and congressional Democrats hit an impasse over funding for a wall along the southern border.
The president has continued to push his aggressive immigration agenda, even using his executive powers to implement policies or kickstart projects, such as his declaration of a national emergency in February that freed up billions to construction a wall along the southern border.
Sanctuary cities have long drawn Trump's ire. Just days after taking office, Trump signed an executive order in 2017 that cut off federal funding to sanctuary cities, calling undocumented immigration a "clear and present danger" to national security. The order was immediately challenged in court and so far, judges have found the president's order unconstitutional, though the Trump administration continues to appeal.
Trump's immigration policies have been a focal point of his presidency with his administration continuing to pose hardline stances on the issue, including a policy that led to the separation of migrant children from their families at the border.
That approach might be intensifying. Last week, Trump said he was pulling his nomination for a new director of ICE so they could go in a "different direction" with someone "tougher."
The president's comments came amid a massive shakeup within DHS that led to a handful of the department's top officials leaving, including Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

U.S. airport-security head named as No. 2 Homeland Security official
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The new chief of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) named the United States' top airport-security official, David Pekoske, his acting deputy on Thursday, as President Donald Trump overhauls the leadership of the domestic-security agency. The move, by Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan, who took office on Wednesday, temporarily fills a leadership vacuum at the top of DHS, which is responsible for everything from border protection to disaster response. But it also places further strains on an agency of 240,000 employees, many of whose top leadership posts were unfilled even before Trump's management shakeup.
McAleenan remains in charge of U.S. Customs and Border Protection even as he assumes responsibility for all of DHS. Likewise, Pekoske will continue to head the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, which screens airline travelers, while he serves as the No. 2 official at DHS. Both men are serving on a temporary basis.
In recent weeks, Trump has interviewed several candidates for DHS secretary, an appointee who must be confirmed by the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate. Trump has forced out top DHS officials over the past week as the agency tries to stem rising numbers of immigrants arriving at its southern border, many of them families fleeing violence and poverty in Central America. DHS said it arrested or denied entry to more than 103,000 people along the border last month, more than double the figure for March 2018. Trump has grown increasingly frustrated as DHS officials have told him that dramatic immigration changes he wants are not possible under current law, several sources say.
DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced her departure on Sunday after clashing with Trump over border security. Her deputy, Claire Grady, stepped down on Tuesday. Trump is trying to force out L. Francis Cissna, who oversees legal immigration programs as director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, as well as John Mitnick, the top DHS lawyer, according to a source familiar with White House deliberations. Leadership is also in flux at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Secret Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Ten other top positions are either vacant or filled on a temporary basis.

Pelosi says she still sees Trump as potential ally on immigration
By Mike Lillis - 04/11/19 11:21 AM EDT
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/438435-pelosi-says-she-still-sees-trump-as-potential-ally-on-immigration
LEESBURG, Va. - Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that comprehensive immigration reform is "inevitable," and left open the possibility that it may still be possible under President Trump.
"It's complicated, but it isn't hard to do if you have good intentions," Pelosi said during the Democrats' annual issues conference at a golf resort in northern Virginia. "And I'm not giving up on the president on this. … I still say to him, 'We've got to have comprehensive immigration reform.'"
Pelosi noted that Democrats secured new funds for immigration judges and other border measures in the spending bill that ultimately reopened the government, which Trump signed in February. But she accused the president of failing to tap those funds for their intended purpose.
"He has not utilized what is in that, specifically, [for] the border," she said.
Pelosi also warned that the only long-term solution to the border crisis is the adoption of comprehensive immigration reform package, like the bipartisan bill passed by the Senate in 2013.
"We keep saying to the Republicans, 'Let's do that,' but it has to be in a bipartisan way," she said. "We think that there's opportunity to do that."
House Democrats have not introduced such a bill this year, pushing instead for piece-meal immigration reforms that include new protections for so-called "Dreamers" and those under temporary protected status. And Republican leaders in the GOP-controlled Senate have shown little interest in moving on a comprehensive immigration reform bill, instead joining Trump in urging more funding for the border wall as a first order of business.
Trump, meanwhile, has only heightened his attacks on immigrants as the border crisis has worsened in recent weeks.
"Our country is full," he tweeted over the weekend.
Pelosi on Thursday hammered the president for that remark, arguing that the country's economic viability hinges on a healthy influx of new arrivals.
"The constant reinvigoration of America depends on us having comprehensive immigration reform where we respect the value of newcomers to our country," she said.
"When the president said - what did he say? - 'We don't have no room?' My god, I thought it was Mary and Joseph at Christmas. We have no room? There is no room in the inn? What is this?
"Of course there's room, and there's need."
The sides have a long ways to go to bridge the numerous disagreements that divide them on the hot-button issue of immigration. Trump centered his 2016 campaign on a hard-line approach to enforcement, and the 35-day government shutdown that launched the new Congress this year was the result of his demand for billions of dollars for a border wall - a non-starter with Democrats.
Just this week, Trump pushed out the secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, over frustrations that she wasn't aggressive enough in deflecting the waves of migrants arriving at the southwest border. Most of those migrants are asylum seekers from the Northern Triangle countries of Central America, and the growing influx has stretched the nation's border security infrastructure to new limits. Last month, the head of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol said his agency has reached "the breaking point."
Pelosi said on Thursday she's hoping public pressure will force Republicans to consider a comprehensive immigration reform bill, an idea that hasn't been adopted into law since the Reagan administration.
She also said that she thinks the Democrats' efforts to improve the financial security of middle-class workers will bring opponents of such reforms to reconsider.
"The president is a fear monger. He fueled the flame of insecurity about globalization, about immigration and all that in the campaign. But if the economy is better for many of these people, I think that that fear tactic would be diminished," she said.
"This has to happen," Pelosi added. "It's inevitable."

Kirstjen Nielsen Was Openly Sabotaging Border Security
When she was first nominated for heading the DHS, I wrote an article criticizing the move because John Kelly was her mentor - and he isn't too keen on border security either. In fact, she was just one of Kelly's choices to head various departments who were let go this week.

All I can say is that it's about time. Trump needs to surround himself with people who think like he does and that are not afraid to act. If he does that, he will be almost impossible to beat in 2020. If he gets the border under control and the economy stays strong, he will win in a walk.
From Breitbart News
Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart News that former Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen actively undermined President Donald Trump's agenda on border security and immigration, offering her remarks on Monday's edition of SiriusXM's Breitbart News Tonight with host Rebecca Mansour and special guest host Patrick Courrielche.
Mansour invited Vaughan's comments on Nielsen's conduct as the former head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) following Nielsen's resignation on Sunday."I actually think that [Kirstjen Nielsen] has been on borrowed time for a long time and it shouldn't have taken this long," said Vaughan. "It's the right move. It's important to hold her accountable for her failures, especially this most recent crisis at the border."

Hundreds in migrant caravan leave Honduras, beginning journey to U.S. southern border
Claudio Escalon, Associated Press Published 4:08 p.m. ET April 10, 2019 | Updated 4:18 p.m. ET April 10, 2019
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/04/10/migrant-caravan-honduras-heading-u-s-southern-border-san-pedro-sula/3427004002/
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras - Hundreds of Honduran migrants, many carrying young children, set out in a caravan for that country's border with Guatemala on Wednesday, hoping to reach the United States.
Some of those who gathered at the San Pedro Sula bus station said they can't support their families with what they can earn in Honduras and are seeking better opportunities.
Most boarded buses before dawn that would carry them to towns on the Guatemalan border. Others walked through the rain, some pushing strollers or carrying sleeping children in their arms.
Guatemalan immigration authorities said that their Honduran counterparts informed them that about 1,100 migrants were headed for their common border, mostly aboard buses to two crossing points. They said some were already crossing into Guatemala.
Nohemy Reyes, who waited at the bus station with one of her five children sleeping on floor beside her, said her country's economic straits are driving her north.
"The economic situation is very difficult," she said. But if she finds the U.S. border closed, she said, she will return to Honduras.
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to close the U.S.-Mexico border before changing course and threatening tariffs on automobiles produced in Mexico if that country does not stop the flow of Central American migrants.
U.S. border facilities have been overwhelmed by the number of migrant families. U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced this week that 53,000 parents and children were apprehended at the southern border in March.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned this week and was replaced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan in an acting capacity.
Trump on Tuesday said he isn't planning on reinstating his controversial family separation policy. Last summer, more than 2,500 children were separated from their families before a judge ordered them reunited.
The caravans became a popular way of making the trek because the migrants find safety in numbers and save money by not hiring smugglers.
In late March, Mexico's interior secretary Olga Sánchez Cordero warned that the "mother of all caravans" was forming. It was not clear where her estimate of 20,000 migrants in the potential caravan came from, but she announced it after meeting with Nielsen in Miami.
That did not materialize, but Central American officials criticized the announcement, saying it could inspire migrants to merge into another caravan.
In March, the Trump administration notified Congress that it would seek to suspend direct aid payments to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, because they were not working. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended that decision in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday, arguing that hundreds of millions of dollars had been ineffective.
Miguel Angel Reyes of San Juan Pueblo, Honduras, said his country's violent crime was one factor in his decision to leave, but mostly he was looking for a way to provide for his wife and four children.
"I'm going because the situation is really hard here in Honduras," said the field worker. "We can't take it anymore. There's a lot of suffering, no work."

Mulvaney huddles with Senate Dems to discuss 'humanitarian crisis' at border

The White House met with Senate Democrats to discuss possibly jump-starting talks to fix the situation at the southern border on Wednesday afternoon.
Mick Mulvaney, President Donald Trump's acting chief of staff, huddled in a closed door meeting with Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) in Feinstein's office.
After the meeting, Durbin told reporters the "situation at the border is challenging and we were talking about what could be done." He said the discussions haven't reached the point of talking about specific policy proposals and that they are at "the early stage of identifying the challenge."
He added that the group hopes to meet again, but noted that Congress will be on recess soon.
Tester echoed Durbin's remarks and said the group discussed "the possibility of working together to get something done" so that the "humanitarian crisis is less of a crisis."
The meeting about immigration comes as Trump has come under fire for a purge of senior officials at the Department of Homeland Security, including the resignation of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
Mulvaney declined to comment as he was leaving the meeting.

I'm the boss! Trump politely puts sudden media sensation Stephen Miller back in line
There's only one person running immigration policy in this administration, and it's not Stephen Miller, said President Trump Wednesday as he left for a rally in Texas. "You know who that is? It's me," he said, in case anyone was not clear.
In recent days, Trump's senior aide has been named repeatedly as the mastermind behind a tougher stance on migrants trying to cross the southern border and as the architect of an overhaul of senior personnel at the Department of Homeland Security. Kirstjen Nielsen was ousted as head of the department on Sunday, prompting a round of briefings that Miller - who co-wrote Trump's "American carnage" inauguration speech - had long been gunning for her. It came days after Trump wrongfooted Homeland Security officials by withdrawing his nomination of Ron Vitiello to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement, again reportedly at the urging of Miller.
Randolph Alles, the Secret Service director, and Claire Grady, the acting Homeland Security deputy secretary, have also both left, with reports of more departures to come. The result was a burgeoning narrative of a hidden puppetmaster leading a clean-out ahead of a major tightening of immigration policy. "Stephen is an excellent guy. He is a wonderful person. People don't know him," said Trump when he was asked about his aide by reporters at the White House before going on to deliver a very public slap-down. "He has been with me from the beginning. He is a brilliant man … and frankly, there is only one person that is running it." He pointed to his own head, in case anyone missed the point.
It is not the first time an adviser has been cut down to size after generating too many headlines. Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, the other author of the inauguration speech, drew Trump's ire in 2017 after a string of stories about his genius for political strategy that included in a Time front cover headlined "The Great Manipulator."
In recent months Miller, who served as communications director for then-Sen. Jeff Sessions before joining the Trump campaign, has been seen as the new Trump whisperer. Sam Nunberg, an early hire by the Trump 2016 campaign, said it was a mistake to ever take too much credit for policy or personnel decisions. He added that briefings emphasizing Miller's role in the Homeland Security shake-up may be designed to undermine his position. "Miller is going to have to be careful and not take too much credit," he said. "People saying that this was Miller, instead of that this was Trump's decision, is a way to get Miller back."

Acting ICE director resigns after Trump pulls nomination
By Rafael Bernal - 04/10/19 04:48 PM EDT
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/438308-acting-ice-director-resigns
The acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Ron Vitiello, has resigned amid an agency-wide restructuring of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Vitiello had originally been nominated to take over the post permanently, but his nomination was abruptly pulled last week by President Trump, who said he wanted to go in a "tougher" direction.
ADVERTISEMENT
Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced the news of Vitiello's departure on Wednesday, praising his "knowledge and expertise as a seasoned law enforcement professional."
Nielsen said in a statement that Vitiello "has left a legacy of excellence as our Department has expanded and refined our efforts to curb illegal immigration and secure our borders."
Vitiello's last day at ICE will be Friday. Nielsen, whose own departure from the helm of DHS was announced over the weekend, is leaving Wednesday.
The moves come amid a White House shakeup affecting virtually all senior leadership at DHS that has seen the exit this week of Nielsen, Vitiello, Secret Service Director Randolph "Tex" Alles and Acting Deputy Homeland Secretary Claire Grady.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Francis Cissna, USCIS policy and strategy head Kathy Nuebel Kovarik and General Counsel John Mitnick are also reportedly due to resign.
A number of lawmakers from both parties have pushed back on plans to oust senior officials, while even some Trump allies on immigration have expressed concerns that the shakeup may be going too far.
Andrew Arthur, a research fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), a think tank that favors reduced immigration, wrote that "these moves raise the question whether the president is irrationally looking for scapegoats on whom to blame for [the border] situation."
"[Trump] must reject purported efforts to remove U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Francis Cissna," Arthur wrote this week.
The lone survivor at the top of DHS so far is incoming Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan, who until Wednesday served as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) commissioner.
Vitiello, a former Border Patrol chief, served as McAleenan's deputy at CBP from 2017 to 2018, before moving on to head ICE in an acting capacity.
With Vitiello's resignation, almost all senior Obama-era border and immigration holdovers are now out at the department.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told The Washington Post on Monday that Trump is "pulling the rug out from the very people" working to accomplish his agenda on immigration.
"The president has to have some stability and particularly with the number one issue that he's made for his campaign, throughout his two and a half years of presidency," Grassley said.
The shakeup has also drawn attention to White House adviser Stephen Miller, a key voice within the administration on immigration issues who is seen as a driving force on pushing the president's agenda concerning the border.
Senate Republicans have openly warned in recent days of Miller's outsize influence in the DHS decision-making process in the wake of recent departures at the agency.
"I hope that [Trump's] got more voices than that one in his ear on these issues, because, yeah, I think it's important that he get a whole perspective and range of opinions," said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.).

Trump says he may 'call up more military' to border

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-says-he-may-call-up-more-military-to-border/ar-BBVOijq
President Trump said Wednesday he may send more troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to deal with the spike in migrant families entering the country.
"I'm going to have to call up more military," Trump said during an impromptu appearance at a Texas political fundraiser with people who said they have dealt firsthand with the surge in migration.
A further increase in U.S. troops at the border is the latest in a string of controversial proposals the Trump administration has floated to address the what it calls a crisis the southern border.
Roughly 2,350 active-duty troops were at the border as of January, when acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan announced plans to send back thousands more and extend their deployment through September. Trump first deployed troops to the border last fall to assist Border Patrol in addressing a migrant caravan traveling from Central America.
Trump alluded to the fact troops are limited to support roles and are barred by law from apprehending migrants, saying "our military, don't forget, can't act like a military would act. Because if they got a little rough, everybody would go crazy."
Even though the president said his focus on immigration has "has nothing to do with politics," he bashed Democrats for refusing to pass stricter laws and predicted the issue would be a major factor in his reelection race.
"I think they will pay a very big price in 2020 for all of the things, whether it is the fake witch hunt they start out, or whether it is a situation like this," he said, referring to the Russia investigation. "I think the border is going to be an incredible issue."
The president answered reporters' questions after listening to stories from fundraiser attendees who said they have had run-ins with human traffickers or had migrants found dead on their ranches.
Trump drew intense criticism when he announced his 2016 presidential bid for saying Mexico was sending rapists and criminals to the U.S., but he said Wednesday the ranchers' stories were far worse.
"That turned out to be nothing compared to what happens on those journeys up, nothing. My speech was so tame, as it turned out," the president said.
Trump has rattled many fellow Republicans by pushing out Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen over his frustration with the situation at the border situation, part of a broad effort to overhaul the department's leadership.
White House immigration adviser Stephen Miller, who is seen as being behind the purge, is also pushing a raft of hard-line proposals intended to stem the flow of Central American migrants, including making it harder to seek asylum and making it possible to detain children for longer periods of time.
Trump earlier this year declared a national emergency to circumvent Congress and build a wall along the southern border and threatened to close down the border entirely to prevent illegal entries. Privately, he reportedly pushed officials to resume family separations but on Tuesday he denied doing so.

Trump in San Antonio warns of killers pouring over border, vows more troops: 'Who the hell can live like this?'
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/elections-2020/2019/04/10/trump-claiming-treason-plots-heads-texas-scoop-6-million-san-antonio-houston
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump, during a fundraising stop in San Antonio on Wednesday, asserted that without his tough border security policies, murderous migrants "will probably stay at your house."
He vowed to send more troops to the border to address a surge in migration from Central America, saying that Texas ranchers fear being killed or having cars stolen by migrants, and "this never comes out in the fake news."
"Who the hell can live like this?" he said. "Dangerous people are coming here and the good people are dying."
Trump's frustration at the migrant surge has boiled over. Within the last week he ousted Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and dropped his nominee to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying he wanted to move in a "tougher direction."
But his claims about crime along the border are wildly exaggerated. State and federal data do not back up assertions that migrants in previous years or in the current surge commit crimes at elevated rates, though Trump and his backers argue that any crime committed by someone in the United States without permission should not have occurred.
Roughly 5,000 uniformed personnel are currently at the border, including National Guard. Trump ordered the deployment a year ago.
"I'm going to have to call up more military," he said with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick at his side during a meeting with campaign donors in San Antonio.
He expressed irritation that longstanding federal law – the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 – bars the use of military for law enforcement.
"Our military, don't forget, can't act like a military would act. Because if they got a little rough, everybody would go crazy," Trump said. "…They have all these horrible laws that the Democrats won't change…. I think they will pay a very big price in 2020 for all of the things, whether it is the fake witch hunt they start out, or whether it is a situation like this. I think the border is going to be an incredible issue."
Trump was in Texas for fundraisers in San Antonio and Houston that national GOP chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel told reporters aboard Air Force One will raise $6 million.
Huge delays at ports of entry
With the Border Patrol unable to keep up with the current surge of asylum seekers, the Department of Homeland Security has shifted 750 customs agents to help – 300 of them from ports of entry in South Texas, according to Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo.
That has created huge delays for cargo, tourists and workers at crossings in Laredo and other border cities that rely heavily on trade.
"They're not being used to process legal immigration and and commerce, they're being used to process people who are claiming asylum," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. While the migrant situation may require that, he said, the personnel shift has created a "risk of a huge economic impact on the border economy, and on Texas and on the country."
"I was on the phone yesterday with a number of constituents along the border, who fear terrible damage to the border economy, because the bridges and the ports of entry are being clogged," he said. "Tourists and other legitimate trade are being stymied or stopped entirely along the border. Some of the car manufacturers for example that depend on the trailer truck activity for their supply chain are being forced to wait, hour upon hour upon hour."

Mexico government slams U.S. border slowdown as 'very bad idea'
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's foreign minister on Wednesday criticized hold-ups in the flow of goods and people at the U.S-Mexico border, and said he planned to discuss the matter with U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials later in the day. After days of traffic delays at sections of the border that have alarmed businesses, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said the disruptions were raising costs for supply chains in both countries. "Slowing down the flow of people and goods at the northern border is a very bad idea," Ebrard said in a post on Twitter, using unusually frank language on an issue that has caused constant friction between Mexico and the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. Ebrard said his ministry would get in contact on Wednesday with the new leaders of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The department's former secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who had overseen Trump's bitterly contested immigration policies during her tenure, stepped down at the weekend.
The border slowdowns have occurred after Trump late last month threatened to close the frontier if Mexico did not halt a surge in undocumented migrants reaching the United States. On Monday, a judge in San Francisco said the Trump administration's policy of sending some asylum seekers to Mexico while their claims worked through a backlogged immigration court system was not authorized by U.S. law. The White House said on Tuesday it would appeal the ruling and that its policy was part of a "cooperative program extensively negotiated with the government of Mexico."
However, in a sign of ongoing tensions over the issue, Mexico's foreign ministry noted afterwards that the return of the migrants was a "unilateral" measure with which it did not agree but was allowing on a "temporary" basis. On Wednesday morning, only one of six lanes for commercial vehicles was open at the Bridge of the Americas border crossing between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, according to online data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Shanahan predicts expanded role at border for Pentagon
ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. - Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan expects that the Pentagon's role on the border will expand in some way as the situation there "deteriorates."
Shanahan, speaking to reporters while travelling home to Washington, indicated a belief that the number of migrants trying to cross over from the border with Mexico will lead the Department of Homeland Security to request more assistance from the Defense Department.
"We're still working with DHS to understand, enduring wise, what's the best fit and role for us and how do we help make sure that DHS can stand up the right capability," he said. "But just strictly on the basis of the volume and how much the situation there has deteriorated, I would expect us to do more."
The acting secretary added that he expects any additional requests will be "consistent with things we've had in the past," which could include setting up temporary shelters before handing them over to DHS.
"To me, the situation is elastic. If DHS has a certain capacity and there's a real uptick, then the response is not going to be from them generating more capacity from overtime," he added.
Shanahan's comments come on the final day of DHS head Kirstjen Nielsen's tenure at the agency.
During an interview with Brett Baier of Fox News airing shortly after he returned to Washington, Shanahan defended the military deployments at the border, while denying that he saw "tensions" between President Donald Trump DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, whose last day at the agency was Wednesday.

"This president is not an easy person to work with on this subject," said Durbin, Senate Democrats' No. 2 leader.
No one disputes that the number of migrants seeking entry into the U.S. is swelling. Authorities were expecting to prevent 100,000 people, mostly families, from crossing the southern border last month, the most in 12 years.
In response, Trump has moved to cut nearly $500 million in aid to Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, whose citizens have trekked toward the U.S. in growing numbers. He has curbed the number of asylum applications that authorities process. He has been blocked by a federal court from forcing refugees to wait in Mexico while their cases are decided. And he has warned he'll close the southwest border, a threat he's intermittently eased and renewed.
Frustrated with his team's resistance to carry out some of his policy proposals, he's also replaced Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and moved to purge other top officials at the department. Democrats, joined by many Republicans, said Trump's shake-up was unwise.
"He doesn't like the law," said No. 2 House leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. "And he's firing people who are determined that they have to act within the confines of the law. I think that's very dangerous."
Trump says the U.S. faces a security and humanitarian calamity. In a letter to lawmakers last month, Nielsen asked for "immediate congressional assistance" to address "a system-wide meltdown." She requested funds for more detention beds, medical teams and processing facilities but specified no dollar amounts.
Democrats are skeptical of such requests.
"They've already taken and transferred money from things to their ridiculous wall," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., referring to Trump's effort to build a border wall that Democrats have mocked as ineffective. "It's pretty difficult for me to say I'd give them more. I'd have a lot more accountability built in, and I'd cut the amount we're giving to Homeland Security until they can show us they really need it."
Democrats contend that Trump's goal is to rile up his conservative voters as his 2020 re-election campaign gets underway.
"He's shown that over and over, he's just anti-immigrant. And this is a campaign talking point for him," said Rep. Nanette Barragan, D-Calif.
Republicans say Democrats are simply out to block Trump.
"They don't want to give Trump any victory on anything, ever," said Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., a member of the House Homeland Security Committee.

Q Research General #7826: FBI HRC Email Cover-Up Exposed Edition
GOP senators raise concerns about Miller's ascension
Senate Republicans are raising red flags over the purge at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the apparent rise of White House adviser Stephen Miller.
GOP senators are publicly and privately voicing their concerns, praising outgoing secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and questioning the dynamics between Trump's team of advisers and the embattled agency.
The shakeup at DHS is increasing tensions between Republicans and, in particular, Miller, whose influence appears to be growing. Known for his conservative views and work as a staffer for then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), the 33-year-old White House aide is to the right of several Republican senators on immigration.
"I hope that he's got more voices than that one in his ear on these issues, because, yeah, I think it's important that he get a whole perspective and range of opinions," said Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican.
Pressed on who else the president should also be listening to, Thune added with a chuckle, "Some of them are now gone."
Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), a member of GOP leadership, said Miller appears to be the "guy behind the curtain."

Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), a member of GOP leadership, said Miller appears to be the "guy behind the curtain."
"I think what we need is a consistent message because I think there are some voices in the White House who are working counter to that message and particularly creating more problems for the administration by losing senior leadership," Cornyn said when asked if he had concerns about Miller's growing influence.
The musical chairs atop DHS, and broader concerns that the department could move further to the right on immigration, isn't the first time Miller has sparked ire from Senate Republicans. He has had a hand in some of the most controversial policies emanating from the White House.
And before that, while working for Sessions in the Senate, he fought against the 2013 Gang of Eight immigration bill that died in the GOP-controlled House.
Reports that Miller wants to oust Lee Cissna, head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), are putting him at odds with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). The GOP senator called acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney this week to make the case for keeping Cissna, a former Grassley staffer, and Kathy Nuebel Kovarik, who is head of policy and strategy at USCIS and previously worked for Grassley on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"I know Cissna well. I know Kathy Kovarik well. They're qualified people. They are good for the president," Grassley said. "I heard that they were going to be dismissed and that irritates me."
Grassley added that he could "be suspicious" of Miller's intentions; however, he had only heard a "rumor" of Miller's involvement in further high-level personnel changes at DHS.
But Grassley also questioned Miller's ability to counsel Trump on immigration.
"I don't know whether he's been an effective adviser for the president," Grassley said.

BREAKING: White House To TARGET Illegal Alien Money Transfers Out of U.S.
The White House is planning on targeting the tens of billions of dollars in "remittance payments" sent by illegal immigrants back to their home countries, in the wake of an ongoing migrant flood at the U.S. Southern border, a senior administration official told reporters Tuesday.
The plans to target remittance payments come amid a broader shakeup at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and future executive actions designed to curb illegal immigration. The situation at the southern border has escalated in recent weeks, with thousands of migrants arriving daily to claim asylum.
Officials say the illegal arrivals are spurred by loopholes in U.S. immigration law that allow family units claiming asylum to arrive illegally and still be released into the interior of the country with a work permit.
The migrants are then given a court date at some point in the future to adjudicate the asylum claim, with the vast majority failing to ultimately get a favorable asylum ruling. These migrants rarely show up for deportation, with the senior administration official calling the practice "backdoor illegal immigration."
Potential plans against remittances could follow one or all of anti-illegal immigration group BorderPAC's recomendations:
15-25% tax on all cash remittances to targeted countries
Ban on any remittances to Mexico, other nations, if sender cannot prove they are a U.S. citizen or legal resident
Temporary halt to all remittances to Mexico until that government halts caravans and enforces border controls to U.S.
The White House plan to go after remittance payments falls in line with a proposal from former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who is being considered to replace outgoing DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
Kobach told Breitbart News on Tuesday that this will be an effective way for President Donald Trump to compel the Mexican government to take more enforcement action against Central Americans trafficking through their country.
Kobach told Breitbart:
"The threat I propose is one that actually helps us if we follow through on it. That is the threat of ending remittances from the majority of people in the United States from Mexico who are here illegally," adding "they don't want to risk losing that massive flow of foreign capital. In most years, it's their second biggest source of foreign capital."
How big is this flow? A stunning $30 billion annually to Mexico ALONE...
Mexico received the most, at a record $30 billion in 2018....and the three Northern Triangle nations targeted by President Trump's funding threat over illegal immigration, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, received over $16 billion, according to an analysis by the Pew Research Center.
I spoke with a Senate staffer who said he is "stunned" that Trump is going after these cash outflows, and that is "signals a major hardening of enforcement" in the wake of his shakeup at DHS.

Breaking: Chuck Norris New Glock Gun Brand Spokesman
For years, the left has advocated and tried to abolish the second amendment. Despite the second amendment being embedded in the nation's values, the left wants to take the guns away. It really didn't help their mental state when the Glock gun brand announced their new official spokesman.
Interestingly, actor and long-time Second Amendment advocate Chuck Norris have officially been signed by Glock as its new spokesman, the company announced Monday. (RELATED: Rep. Nunes to Send 8 Criminal Referrals to AG William Barr )
For years, Chuck Norris has been revealed as a great American hero and a top-notch martial arts expert. He is well-known and loved by both the right and the left. Many remember him from the hit television series, "Walker Texas Ranger."
That said, the left came unhinged after the announcement from Glock that Norris would be their official spokesman.
"Chuck Norris revolutionized and ushered martial arts into the American mainstream just like Glock revolutionized firearms by inventing and commercializing polymer-based pistols and the 'Safe Action' System," Josh Dorsey, Vice President of Glock, said in a news release. (RELATED: Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigns)
"Having him represent the Glock brand brings two iconic names together that are mutually committed to perfection and their fan base. We couldn't be more excited about this partnership," he said.
Norris will appear on behalf of Glock at the NRA Annual Conference in Indianapolis scheduled for April 26 and April 27.
Moreover, it is only a matter of time before "gun grabbers" like David Hogg finds out and start calling for boycotts of all Chuck Norris' movies and T.V. shows. (RELATED: Trey Gowdy: 'CIA May Stop Giving Adam Schiff Info Because He Leaks' )
We are excited to see a gun company stand up for our rights to own firearms. However, it won't stop the angry Twitter mob from vomiting their hatred for our Constitution.

Former Trump official: Nielsen was 'obstructionist' who wouldn't fire 'deep state' employees in DHS
Outgoing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen triggered her own demise by refusing to fire a pair of agency officials that were slow-walking President Trump's immigration agenda, says a former administration official who worked with all three people. "I think she was an obstructionist to getting rid of the bad people," the official, who asked to speak on background in order to speak openly, said in a phone call with the Washington Examiner Tuesday. The official specially mentioned the department's General Counsel John Mitnick and Citizenship and Immigration Services Director L. Francis Cissna - both of whom have been reported to be next on Trump's chopping block. Their departures would follow what's already been nearly a week of upheaval at DHS. In addition to getting rid of Nielsen, Trump rescinded the nomination of acting ICE Director Ronald Vitiello and terminated Secret Service Director Randolph Alles from his position.
Mitnick and Cissna are under scrutiny for not aggressively pursuing Trump's approach to stopping illegal immigration along the U.S.-Mexico border. Both are holdovers from the DHS of John Kelly, who headed the department for the Trump administration's first six months or so, before becoming the president's chief of staff. "When Kelly left, they never took the bad people with them. Everyone makes bad hiring decisions, [but] you don't leave them on." The former official named Mitnick as the "reason why most of the immigration policies from DHS never came to fruition." Mitnick, in particular, is getting blame from Trump allies for details implementing a 2015 court ruling mandating that children who arrive at the border with parents cannot be held more than 20 days in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.
A DHS official slammed the allegations. "Outside voices criticizing the department's general counsel for working to assiduously to follow the law while implementing the president's security first agenda likely know little about the law, and less about homeland security," the official said. Trump administration officials contend the court ruling is the reason why record-high numbers of Central American families have traveled to and illegally entered the country at the U.S.-Mexico border. That's because DHS lacks the space and legal ability to hold people for the duration of their asylum hearings.
The official said Mitnick's office is sorting through comments and making small changes to the language, but that it should not take two years to do. "John Mitnick got really good at letting this career and bureaucracy overwhelm him. You need someone that's going to be a fierce defender of what we're doing in the Trump administration, not someone who's gong to let the deep state run everything," the official said.
Cissna, meanwhile, likely hurt his own cause by having his office issue permits for those who illegally entered the U.S. to obtain work documents while they await asylum decisions, 90 percent of which are denied. "He's part of the reason we have a flood at the border," the official added.
But the DHS official broke with the rogue official again. "Director Cissna has restored USCIS' focus on national security, economic prosperity, and protecting U.S. workers. He has taken numerous steps to end illegal or inappropriate benefit programs and brought integrity to the immigration application process. He has wide support from conservatives on the Hill and in the homeland security community," the DHS official said. USCIS referred the Washington Examiner to a March list that cites 10 examples of how the agency is "improving the integrity" of the immigration system. The agency's list touted ways it says it has enhanced fraud detection among visa applicants and transparency among employment-based visa applicants."

Purge continues: Acting DHS Deputy Secretary Claire Grady resigns
Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced Tuesday night her acting deputy secretary is resigning. Claire Grady, who was next in line after it was announced by President Trump over the weekend that Nielsen was resigning, was reportedly pushed out of the position to make room for Trump's pick, Kevin McAleenan, the chief of Customs and Border Protection. The resignation is the latest in a massive shakeup at the department. Trump announced over Twitter on Sunday that Nielsen was leaving after a tense meeting on immigration and the border. Soon after, Nielsen shared her letter of resignation and said she would officially depart Wednesday after helping with the transition.
Randolph "Tex" Alles, director of the Secret Service, left the White House on Monday after reports that he was told he had 10 days to exit. Trump picked Secret Service assistant director of the Office of Protective Operations, James Murray, to take over May 1.
Two other immigration officials who are reportedly expected to leave the Trump administration soon are L. Francis Cissna, the head of Citizenship and Immigration Services, and John Mitnick, a senior member of Nielsen's team. Nielsen announced Grady's resignation in a string of tweets.
"Acting Deputy Secretary Claire Grady has offered the President her resignation, effective tomorrow. For the last two years, Claire has served @DHSgov w excellence and distinction. She has been an invaluable asset to DHS - a steady force and a knowledgeable voice, "Claire has led the men and women of DHS who support our operational staff. Her sound leadership and effective oversight have impacted every DHS office and employee and made us stronger as a Department. Clair has had a remarkable career in public service," she added. "- 28 years at the Departments of Homeland Security & Defense - that is coming to a close. I am thankful for Claire's expertise, dedication & friendship & am filled w gratitude for her exemplary service to DHS & to our country. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors."" Nielsen said.

Trump's immigration agenda faces serious legal hurdles, no matter who is homeland security secretary
Here's what to know about the border and immigration debate.

To hear President Donald Trump tell it, reducing migration into the U.S. is all about political will.
(MORE: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigns )
In recent days, he's called for someone "tougher" to oversee deportations and forced out Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen after clashing with her in private meetings and phone calls. He also says it's time that Congress wipe out the U.S. asylum system.

"They have to get rid of catch and release, chain migration, visa lottery," Trump told reporters last week. "They have to get rid of the whole asylum system because it doesn't work. And, frankly, we should get rid of judges. You can't have a court case every time somebody steps their foot on our ground."
But according to several legal experts interviewed by ABC News, this to-do list on immigration is hugely unrealistic. The bulk of his agenda requires congressional action. And even then, a court could still block such laws from taking effect if the judge believe it violates a person's rights.
That means it's unlikely the next head of Homeland Security will be able to move much faster than Nielsen.
"She got roundly criticized by the left for going too far, and roundly criticized by immigration hawks by not going far enough," said Steve Yale-Loehr, who teaches immigration law at Cornell Law School.
"I don't wish that job on anybody," he said.
Here's what to know about immigration and the border:
The president can't blow up the asylum system unilaterally
Under U.S. and international law, people have the right to approach the border and claim asylum. To change that, Trump would need to do two things: convince Congress to change the law and withdraw from an international agreement that refugees cannot be returned to a country where they would be unsafe.

(Sandy Huffaker/Getty Images) Undocumented migrants wait for asylum hearings outside of the port of entry in Tijuana, Mexico, June 18, 2018.
And what about revamping visa lotteries and other rules that Trump derides as "chain migration"?
"Not without getting Congress to rewrite immigration law that's been on the books for 30 years," said Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a policy analyst with the American Immigration Council.
A wholesale rewrite of U.S. asylum laws is considered especially unlikely with Democrats in control of the House and Republicans divided on how far to go on immigration.
That leaves Trump with the legal reality that once people reach U.S. territory and make an asylum claim, that person has a right to run their claim past an immigration judge.
Trump has few options to detain families
Trump, like President Barack Obama, wanted the power to detain families who arrive at the border without documentation while their cases wind through court -- a process that could take months or years. But the federal courts have repeatedly said no, citing a previous court settlement not to detain children for longer than 20 days.
Trump tried to get around this mandate with "zero tolerance," a policy that detained the adult and put the child in government custody. But he was forced to backtrack amid a public outcry and federal court ruling ordering that the families be reunited.

More than 100,000 migrants apprehended or turned away at border in March, CBP reveals
https://www.foxnews.com/us/more-than-100000-migrants-apprehended-or-turned-away-at-border-in-march-cbp-reveals
More than 103,000 migrants were turned away from or apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border last month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Tuesday, an increase of nearly 106 percent over the same period last year.
In all, CBP said it apprehended 92,607 people, including 53,077 family units (a 45.3 percent increase over February) and 8,975 unaccompanied minors (a 31 percent increase over February). Another 10,885 migrants were deemed "inadmissible" by immigration authorities.
The total number of 103,492 apprehensions or rejections is the highest of any month over at least the past six years, topping February's mark of 76,535 apprehensions or rejections. The 92,607 apprehensions was the highest total since 91,566 migrants were apprehended in April 2008.
The numbers were made public hours after a top Border Patrol official told lawmakers that authorities has apprehended more families illegally crossing the border between October 2018 and February of this year than during all of the 2018 fiscal year (Oct. 1, 2017-Sept. 30, 2018).
"Much media attention has focused on caravans coming across from Central America," Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Rodolfo Karisch told the Senate Homeland Security Committee. "But the fact is that RGV is receiving caravan-equivalent numbers every seven days."

The numbers were announced two days after the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in a shakeup orchestrated by President Trump, who has been frustrated by his administration's inability to stem the tide of migrants from Central America and other parts of the world. Karisch said Tuesday his sector has apprehended people from 50 different countries, including China, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt and Romania.
The president also abruptly pulled the nomination of Ron Vitiello to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week, saying he wanted to go "in a tougher direction."

Trump's choice to replace Nielsen as acting director, Kevin McAleenan, is a longtime CBP official who the president tweeted Sunday would do a "fantastic job." Trump also told reporters Tuesday that he was "not looking" to revive his administration's zero tolerance policy of separating families at the U.S.-Mexico border that caused an international uproar last year.
However, the president also noted that "once you don't have [zero tolerance], that's why you see many more people coming. They're coming like it's a picnic because let's go to Disneyland."

Obama-era Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan told senators last week that the U.S. is "experiencing a crisis at the southern border at a magnitude never seen in modern times."
"This is not a manufactured crisis created by those of us who live and work in the border area," Morgan said. "Border Patrol continues to apprehend record numbers of people who purposely violate U.S. immigration laws, we are taken advantage of by gaps in our legal frameworks and that undermine the rule of laws."

Secret Service Director Will Be Moved To New Role At DHS
After pushing out Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and dropping Ronald Vitiello, his nominee to lead ICE, President Trump is reportedly throwing a bone to critics who are wondering who is left to run DHS.
According to Bloomberg, Secret Service Director Randolph Alles will be reassigned to another job within the agency, possibly a senior position within ICE, where he previously worked.
Alles confirmed on Monday that he would be leaving his position following reports that he had been fired by Trump amid an ongoing purge of DHS. Trump aide Stephen Miller, a well-known immigration hardliner, has reportedly been tasked with running the administration's immigration policy and is working to consolidate his control over the department.
Senator Mitt Romney said at a hearing of the Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday that he's "deeply troubled" by the vacuum at the top of DHS.
"It is dangerous," Romney said. "Dangerous given what's happening at the border, dangerous given the broad responsibilities the Department of Homeland Security has for protecting our nation. It is seriously troubling."
Alles said he had been alerted by the White House that he would be asked to step down weeks before the news broke. According to BBG, Trump likes Alles - who is a veteran Marine like former Chief of Staff and DHS Secretary Gen. John Kelly - and wants to find another role for him within the administration.

Border Patrol Official Drops Shocking Statistic On Nationalities Of Illegals Crossing Border
At least if you listen to Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector Chief Patrol Agent Rodolfo Karisch, who is, after all, a bit of an expert.
At a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday, Karisch dropped a ton of data and statistics, but none was more eye-popping than this.
Karisch said that in his sector alone, border agents have captured people trying to enter the country illegally from more than 50 different countries, including Turkey, China, Bangladesh, Egypt and Romania. "People are traveling across hemispheres to attempt to illegally enter the U.S., using the same pathways as the Central Americans," he told lawmakers.
While Democrats claim President Trump is making up a fake crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border - and some presidential candidates, like former Texas Rep. Robert "Beto" O'Roarke, want to do away with all border barriers - Karisch said the influx of illegals is reaching epic proportions.
"Much media attention has focused on caravans coming across from Central America," Karisch said. "But the fact is that RGV is receiving caravan-equivalent numbers every seven days."
"Karisch noted that Border Patrol has apprehended more families illegally crossing the border in the first five months of fiscal 2019 than during all of fiscal 2018," Fox News reported. "Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apprehended more than 76,000 migrants across the border in February and said it was on track to apprehend more than 100,000 in March. In the Rio Grande Valley alone, Karisch said that at current pace, they would have more than 260,000 apprehensions in his sector by the end of fiscal 2019. There were 162,000 in RGV last year. He also said that his agents apprehend, on average, 1,000 people a day."
1,000 a day.
While partisan politicians who know nothing about the border claim Trump is playing politics, those in the know are repeatedly sounding the alarm that things are getting dire there. Last week, former Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan, who served in the post during former president Barack Obama's time in the White House, told lawmakers that the crisis is "at a magnitude never seen in modern times" as he urged them to end the U.S.'s "open border policy."
"We're experiencing a crisis at the southern border at a magnitude never seen in modern times, it's unprecedented," Morgan told the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
Trump in February declared a national emergency and has threatened to shut down the entire U.S.-Mexico border. "If we don't make a deal with Congress...or if Mexico doesn't do what they should be doing...then we're going to close the border, that's going to be it, or we're going to close large sections of the border, maybe not all of it," he said in the Oval Office last week. He later gave Mexico a reprieve, saying officials there will have one year to shape up.
The president has been purging Homeland Security officials in an effort to get "tougher." Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned Sunday (some say she was ousted) and Secret Service Director Randolph Alles was booted out on Monday. On Friday, the White House pulled its nominee for director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Ronald Vitiello, with Trump again saying he wanted to go in a "tougher direction."

Outgoing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen triggered her own demise by refusing to fire a pair of agency officials that were slow-walking President Trump's immigration agenda, says a former administration official who worked with all three people.
"I think she was an obstructionist to getting rid of the bad people," the official, who asked to speak on background in order to speak openly, said in a phone call with the Washington Examiner Tuesday. The official specially mentioned the department's General Counsel John Mitnick and Citizenship and Immigration Services Director L. Francis Cissna - both of whom have been reported to be next on Trump's chopping block.
Mitnick, in particular, is getting blame from Trump allies for details implementing a 2015 court ruling mandating that children who arrive at the border with parents cannot be held more than 20 days in Immigration and Customs Enforcement Custody.
Cissna, meanwhile, likely hurt his own cause by having his office issue permits for those who illegally entered the U.S. to obtain work documents while they await asylum decisions, 90 percent of are denied.

Former Bush lieutenant to replace former Bush staffer at DHS.
Is Perry the new guy?
Another potential nominee is Energy Secretary Rick Perry, the former Texas governor who is seen as the most easily confirmed. Kris Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state and a prominent immigration hard-liner, has been floated in the past for the job but is more likely to be involved in the administration as a non-Senate-confirmed adviser.

Hillary Clinton: Nielsen Resignation Won't End Trump's 'Dehumanization and Cruelty' Toward Migrants
Failed 2016 Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Monday that the departure of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen won't end what she described as the Trump administration's "dehumanization and cruelty" toward migrants that reach the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Let's be clear: This administration's dehumanization and cruelty toward migrants will not stop after Kirstjen Nielsen leaves office. It is their principal policy," Clinton wrote in a social media post. Clinton's remarks follow Nielsen's Sunday evening resignation, which was first reported by CBS News and later confirmed by President Donald Trump. "Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen will be leaving her position, and I would like to thank her for her service," the president said. "I am pleased to announce that Kevin McAleenan, the current U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, will become Acting Secretary for @DHSgov. I have confidence that Kevin will do a great job!"
Nielsen's departure as comes as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) struggle with a surge in illegal immigration at the Southern border and the expansion of the Catch and Release policy, which allows migrants to enter the U.S. while they await a hearing in an immigration court.
Breitbart News' John Binder reported: During Nielsen's tenure as DHS secretary, illegal immigration has increased nearly every month over the last year and a half. Simultaneously, the Trump administration has yet to construct a border wall on new land at the southern border that did not previously have barriers built by the Bush and Obama administrations. Most recently, officials with the National ICE Council accused Nielsen of "grossly" mismanaging DHS and failing to acknowledge that the agency had been operating an expanded Catch and Release policy for border crossers and illegal aliens for months. Nielsen previously served in the Bush administration overseeing a crisis team following the destruction of New Orleans, Louisiana, by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
During Nielsen's tenure, the Trump administration introduced the "zero tolerance" immigration policy, which sought the prosecution of every alleged border crosser. An unintended consequence of the policy resulted in the separation of families at the border, which she repeatedly called on Congress to address. President Trump signed an executive order in June 2018 to halt the practice of separating migrant families apprehended at the border.

Donald Trump's Enemies, Friends Praise Embattled USCIS Chief
Supporters and opponents of President Donald Trump are rushing to defend Trump's deputy at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Lee Francis Cissna.
Sen. Chuck Grassley tweeted in support of Cissna, who is facing immediate firing as Trump cleans house at the Department of Homeland Security, according to a wide series of media reports. Commissioner McAleenan will do gr8 job @ DHS. Has gr8 support from 1 of smartest immigration policy minds I know: US Citizenship & Immigration Services Dir Cissna who worked w me for 2yrs on judic cmte & is doing an excellent job leading USCIS- ChuckGrassley (@ChuckGrassley) April 8, 2019
Trump has already fired Kirstjen Nielsen and replaced her with Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner of the Customs and Border Protection agency within DHS. Many media reports say Trump also plans to fire the DHS's acting deputy leader Claire Grady, and DHS general counsel John Mitnick. Cissna is also on the chopping block, even though Trump's critics say Cissna has done a very good job for Trump.
Cissna's agency handles a vast amount of tasks - including curbing fraud by migrants, developing and implementing asylum reforms, overseeing the citizenship process, and tracking the visa worker programs, which keep a population of more than 1.5 million white-collar workers in U.S. jobs. "Cissna is the best thing that has happened to that agency since was created," said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Under President Barack Obama, "it was taken over by people who thought it was their job to rubber-stamp [work] visa applications, to [always] 'Get to Yes' .., [but now] Cissna is applying the law," said Stein.
Cissna is also backed by Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors Trump's "Hire American" policy. Moreover, Krikorian's argument in favor of Cissna is backed by an advocate for cheap labor immigration, Alex Nowrasteh at the Cato Institute, who bitterly opposes Trump's pro-American immigration policies. Cissna's implementation of Trump's pro-American policies also got a backward endorsement from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a pro-migration advocate at the immigration lawyers' advocacy group, the Immigration Council. "None of this makes any sense," Reichlin-Melnick wrote. "Cissna has been an extremely effective advocate for the administration's restrictionist priorities, and his agency has little to do with the current border issues. Why fire him?" Via Twitter, Krikorian argued that Cissna is vital for Trump's"Hire American" policy, which has raised wages for Americans since 2017 - and promises to keep raising those wages before the 2020 elections. Firing Cissna "would not be 'cleaning house', it would be burning the house down. Cutting off your nose to spite your face. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater ... There's no one else who is committed to "Hire American" AND capable of implementing it," he wrote. Cissna is a former immigration lawyer who has worked for DHS and on the Hill. Cissna knows what regulations need to be changed before Trump's "Hire American" policy can be fully implemented, and he also knows how to change those rules, a Hill source added.

Judge blocks Trump administration policy of returning asylum seekers to Mexico
The federal court judge issued the injunction after finding the Trump administration had not done enough to assure the safety of the asylum seekers.
April 8, 2019, 6:08 PM EDT
By Dareh Gregorian
A federal judge in California issued an order Monday blocking the Trump administration's policy of returning some asylum-seekers to Mexico while they wait for a court appearance.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Seeborg's nationwide ruling will not go into effect until Friday, to give the administration time to appeal.
Outgoing Homeland Security chief Kirstjen Nielsen announced the launch of the Migrant Protection Protocols in San Diego, the country's busiest border crossing, in January. Under the policy, Customs and Border Protection officers and agents have the authority to turn around asylum-seekers crossing in the San Diego and El Paso sectors. Families seeking asylum had previously been allowed to stay in the United States while awaiting their court hearings.
A lawsuit filed on behalf of 11 asylum-seekers from Central America had argued that being sent back across the border could expose them to "undue risk to their lives or freedom."
Seeborg found the asylum-seekers had enough of a case to issue a temporary order blocking the policy.
Advocacy groups involved in the suit hailed the decision.
"Remain in Mexico leaves individuals and families fleeing persecution stranded on the other side of the border, when what they need and deserve under our laws is protection in America," Archi Pyati, chief of policy for Tahirih Justice Center, said. "This policy goes against basic tenets of fairness, and makes it all but impossible for us to do our jobs. We are glad to see justice served."
NBC News reported last week that Nielsen announced that she would be increasing the number of Central American asylum-seekers who are made to wait in Mexico until they can see a U.S. immigration judge.
Seeborg's ruling means "you can't do this where you've been doing it and you can't expand it where you want to expand it," Judy Rabinovitz, who argued the case for the ACLU, told NBC News.
She said the policy had been "a complete change in how our asylum system works," and it had left asylum-seekers without any supports in Mexico, where there's a "lot of hostility towards migrants and a lot of lawlessness involving Mexican authorities." She estimated that hundreds of asylum-seekers had already been sent back into Mexico, with no clear way of coming back in for their hearings.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Any appeal of the decision would be heard by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, an appeals court that President Donald Trump has repeatedly blasted as a "disgrace" for ruling against his policies.
Daily border crossings have surpassed a 13-year high as the number of undocumented Central American migrants, mainly families with children seeking asylum, has increased in recent months.
In her announcement, Nielsen directed border agents to "return hundreds of additional migrants per day above current rates." It is not known how many migrants have been returned already.
The administration hopes that making asylum seekers wait outside the U.S. will discourage weak claims and help reduce an immigration court backlog of more than 800,000 cases.

"Grady has been working as under secretary since August 2017. She has also become acting deputy secretary at DHS, taking over the responsibilities of the vacant position. Before that, she worked in procurement and acquisition at the Department of Defense, as well as other positions at the DHS.
She is reportedly not willing to make life easy for the president. According to anonymous colleagues quoted by the Times, Grady said she had no intention of stepping aside to clear a path for McAleenan to take over Nielsen's job. As such, the president could be forced to push Grady out.
If Trump manages to install McAleenan, the 47-year-old will be tasked with implementing a tougher approach to border security, something Trump reportedly believed Nielsen was unable or unwilling to do. CBS News reported that Nielsen's Sunday meeting with the president was widely expected to mark the end of her DHS tenure, during which time she faced regular criticism from Trump over a perceived lack of action on immigration."

Trump replaces Secret Service director
By Zack Budryk - 04/08/19 01:47 PM EDT
https://thehill.com/homenews/437866-trump-fires-secret-service-director-report
President Trump is removing U.S. Secret Service Director Randolph "Tex" Alles from his position.
"United States Secret Service director Randolph 'Tex' Alles has done a great job at the agency over the last two years, and the President is thankful for his over 40 years of service to the country," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Monday. "Mr. Alles will be leaving shortly and President Trump has selected James M. Murray, a career member of the [United States Secret Service], to take over as director beginning in May."
CNN first reported that Trump was firing Alles, citing multiple administration officials.
ADVERTISEMENT
Alles reports directly to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who resigned Sunday effective April 10, reportedly due to her resistance against White House directives to resume separating migrant children from their families.
The Secret Service recently came under scrutiny for its handling of an incident in which a Chinese national was allowed to enter President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club. The woman, who alternately claimed to be there to swim and attend an event for Chinese-American business leaders, was eventually determined to be carrying two Chinese passports and a device containing malware.
The Secret Service and White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
An administration official told CNN that Alles's firing was part of a "purge" at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) following Nielsen's resignation, saying Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Frances Cissna and the Office of the General Counsel's John Mitnick would also likely depart soon.
Top Trump adviser Stephen Miller, an immigration hard-liner, has become Trump's point man on immigration and border policy in recent weeks and is determined to replace DHS leadership with likeminded officials, according to the official.
The Associated Press, however, reported that Alles's departure is "unrelated" to other exits from DHS.

If the president fails, it will be because of appointments like this."

A leftist effort to blacklist people who have held positions in the Trump administration is getting a great deal of attention. According to Bloomberg, an open letter signed by 41 liberal groups was sent to the CEOs of all Fortune 500 companies on Saturday.
The group's letter and full-page New York Times ad in Sunday's issue claims that "Children were torn away from their parents and placed in cages."
The letter singles out 30 current and former officials, including John Kelly, former White House chief of staff; former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen; and Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The move is a widening of the war against the President as it aims to deter those who would otherwise be honored to serve the President and the nation. It also aims to keep the illegal immigration issue boiling on the front burner.
The effort is calling itself "Restore Public Trust." In this day and age most conservatives know that the more noble-sounding the calling card, the more evil is the cause.
The letter to the CEOs states: "Some of these individuals have left the administration in recent months. Regardless of when they leave, they should not be allowed to seek refuge in your boardrooms or corner offices. Allowing them to step off the revolving door and into your welcoming arms should be a nonstarter."
The coalition's spokesman Karl Frisch said that companies "need to think twice about what that will mean for their brand to be associating with somebody who is responsible for one of the most horrific policies this administration put forward and that speaks volumes."
The letter urges companies to "make it clear that you will not hire for employment, contract for consulting, or seat on your boards" anyone in the family separation policy.

United States Secret Service director Randolph "Tex" Alles is being removed from his position, multiple administration officials tell CNN.
President Donald Trump instructed his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, to fire Alles. Alles remains in his position as of now but has been asked to leave.
The Secret Service director reports directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, who resigned on Sunday amid growing pressure from the President. The director oversees the Secret Service's work on both protection and investigations.
"There is a near-systematic purge happening at the nation's second-largest national security agency," this official says.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services director Francis Cissna and Office of the General Counsel's John Mitnick are expected to be gone soon, and the White House is eyeing others to be removed.
The President in recent weeks empowered Stephen Miller to lead the administration's border policies "and he's executing his plan" with what amounts to a wholesale decapitation or the Department of Homeland Security leadership, the official says.
Neither the USSS nor the White House immediately responded to CNN's request for comment.
Alles previously served in Customs and Border Protection leadership and also led that agency's Air and Marine Operations. He is a 35-year veteran of the Marine Corps.
It was not immediately clear what prompted his firing, but the Secret Service recently came under scrutiny after a Chinese woman illegally entered the President's Mar-a-Lago club carrying Chinese passports and a flash drive containing malware.

Clinton: Nielsen departure will not stop Trump 's 'dehumanization and cruelty toward migrants'
Hillary Clinton on Monday said that the Trump administration's treatment of migrants will remain unchanged despite Kirstjen Nielsen's resignation as Homeland Security Secretary.
"Let's be clear: This administration's dehumanization and cruelty toward migrants will not stop after Kirstjen Nielsen leaves office. It is their principal policy," the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee tweeted.
Trump announced Nielsen's resignation Sunday, promoting Kevin McAleenan to acting Department of Homeland Security secretary.
Nielsen was the public face of the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy that drew widespread criticism last summer.
The policy resulted in thousands of children being separated from their families at the border.
Several commentators and politicians have said that Nielsen will be remembered primarily for her role in that policy.

HERE'S WHY TRUMP AND NEILSEN PARTED WAYS
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced her resignation Sunday evening after months of President Donald Trump's dissatisfaction with her handling of the crisis at the U.S. southern border.
Trump all but fired Nielsen after a heated exchange at the White House over whether she was expending all possible resources in dealing with the flow of thousands of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, two sources tell The Daily Caller. Nielsen presented a variety of policy options to Trump, but he ultimately felt that none of them rose to the appropriate response-level and asked her to submit her resignation.
Trump has been agitating for options within the Department of Homeland Security for months that will address the large influx of Central American family units requesting asylum. The president has routinely felt that Nielsen was not presenting or executing his orders appropriately and wants to take drastic action to address the crisis.

Stephen Miller pressuring Trump officials amid immigration shakeups
The White House hardliner is driving a more aggressive immigration approach.
By ANITA KUMAR, GABBY ORR and DANIEL LIPPMAN
04/07/2019 11:26 PM EDT
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/07/stephen-miller-trump-immigration-1260431
As President Donald Trump roils the capital over illegal immigration, his influential aide Stephen Miller is playing a more aggressive behind-the-scenes role in a wider administration shakeup.
Frustrated by the lack of headway on a signature Trump campaign issue, the senior White House adviser has been arguing for personnel changes to bring in more like-minded hardliners, according to three people familiar with the situation - including the ouster of a key immigration official at the Department of Homeland Security, whose secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, announced on Sunday that she is resigning.
Miller has also recently been telephoning mid-level officials at several federal departments and agencies to angrily demand that they do more to stem the flow of immigrants into the country, according to two people familiar with the calls.
The pressure comes as Trump, who forced a government shutdown over his demand for a Mexican border wall, is again making immigration the central theme of his presidency; last week, Trump backed off his threats to shut down the border entirely.
The officials at the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice and State, who each handle different parts of the immigration process, were initially surprised that a high-ranking White House official like Miller would call them directly, rather than contact their bosses.
"It's intimidation," one of the people who was briefed on the calls told POLITICO. "Anytime you get a call like this from the White House it's intimidation … Under normal circumstances, if you were a deputy in one of these agencies, it would be very unusual."
"There's definitely a larger shakeup abreast being led by Stephen Miller and the staunch right wing within the administration," said a person close to Nielsen, who resigned Sunday after months of pressure from a president who felt she was not tough enough on illegal immigration. "They failed with the courts and with Congress and now they're eating their own."
It was not immediately clear whether Miller played a role in the departure of Nielsen, who resigned during a Sunday evening meeting with Trump and whose approach to border enforcement often exasperated Miller and other hardline immigration reform advocates, who saw her as insufficiently bold.
A 33-year-old policy adviser and speechwriter, Miller is the Trump administration's most influential advocate for stricter immigration policies. He uses his close relationship with Trump and tight ties to conservative media to shape the president's thinking. But he has kept a relatively low public profile in recent months, even as Trump has hammered constantly at what he calls a "crisis" on the southern border, where illegal crossings have recently surged.
But critics of Trump's policies and personnel moves believe that Miller may be playing an instrumental role. Several members of Congress, unhappily surprised by Vitiello's withdrawal, and have been asking administration officials and lobbyists for an explanation.
Miller and the White House didn't respond to a request for comment.
Miller also has been pushing for Trump to fire Lee Francis Cissna, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, who has overseen implementation of some of the administration's lesser-known immigration policies, including green card reforms and changes to how the federal government processes and admits refugees.
"He's actively trying to put in place people who have very different points of view than the current leadership within the agencies," said a former DHS official familiar with Miller's efforts. "His idea is basically [to] clean house."
Miller also appears to have played a role in Trump's surprise move on Friday to withdraw his nomination of acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Ronald Vitiello, whom he had moved to install permanently, saying he wanted to take the agency in a "tougher direction."
Miller had informed the president days before he pulled Vitiello's nomination that the acting ICE chief had reservations about closing down the southern border, which Trump has recently threatened to do against the recommendation of some of his top economic advisers and policy aides.

Kevin McAleenan, new acting DHS boss, has long record in border security
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-acting-homeland-security-head-well-respected-longtime-border-officer
President Trump revealed in a tweet Sunday that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Kevin McAleenan will become the acting head of Homeland Security, the sprawling department of 240,000 people, following the resignation of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
McAleenan is a longtime border officer, reflecting Trump's priority for the department initially founded to combat terrorism after the Sept. 11 attacks. Fox News is told Trump wanted the "toughest cop" around on border security, and McAleenan fit the bill.
Administration sources tell Fox News that McAleenan needs to be able to handle the politics involved and change minds on Capitol Hill before he could be seen as potentially taking the job of DHS secretary permanently.
Last month, McAleenan, who as head of CBP was the nation's top border security official, said the border crisis was at its "breaking point" during a visit to Texas. He reiterated that there are not enough agents to respond.
"That breaking point has arrived this week at our border," McAleenan said along the border. "CBP is facing an unprecedented humanitarian and border security crisis all along our Southwest border, and nowhere has that crisis manifested more acutely than here in El Paso."
Prior to government service, according to his bio, McAleenan practiced law in California. He received his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Chicago Law School and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Amherst College.
McAleenan is well-respected by members of Congress and within the administration, and beyond.
"Significant leadership changes today for DHS and CBP. I'm confident Mr. McAleenan's experience and knowledge will help us better address the current crisis on our southern border. #DHS #BorderCrisis #BorderPatrol #CBP" tweeted U.S. Border Patrol official Matthew Hudak.

Associated Press story on DHS Secy Kirstjen Nielsen resignation

Homeland Security Sec. Nielsen resigns amid border turmoil
By COLLEEN LONG and ZEKE MILLER
April 8, 2019
WASHINGTON (AP) - Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned on Sunday amid the administration's growing frustration and bitterness over the number of Central American families crossing the southern border.
President Donald Trump announced on Sunday in a tweet that U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan would be taking over as acting head of the department. McAleenan is a longtime border official who is well-respected by members of Congress and within the administration. The decision to name a top immigration officer to the post reflects Trump's priority for the sprawling department founded to combat terrorism following the Sept. 11 attacks.
Though Trump aides were eyeing a staff shake-up at Homeland Security and had already withdrawn the nomination for another key immigration post, the development Sunday was unexpected.
Nielsen traveled to the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday with Trump to participate in a roundtable with border officers and local law enforcement. There she echoed Trump's comments on the situation at the border, though she ducked out of the room without explanation for some time while Trump spoke. As they toured a section of newly rebuilt barriers, Nielsen was at Trump's side, introducing him to local officials. She returned to Washington afterward on a Coast Guard Gulfstream, as Trump continued on a fundraising trip to California and Nevada.
Nielsen had grown increasingly frustrated by what she saw as a lack of support from other departments and increased meddling by Trump aides on difficult immigration issues, according to three people familiar with details of her resignation. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
She went into the White House on Sunday to meet with Trump not knowing whether she'd be fired or would resign. She ended up resigning, though she was not forced to do so, they said.
Nielsen is the latest person felled in the Trump administration's unprecedented churn of top staff and Cabinet officials, brought about by the president's mercurial management style, insistence on blind loyalty and rash policy announcements.
Nielsen was also the highest profile female Cabinet member, and her exit leaves DHS along with the Pentagon and the White House staff itself without permanent heads. Patrick Shanahan has held the post of acting defense secretary since the former secretary, Jim Mattis, was pushed out in December over criticism of the president's Syria withdrawal plans. Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney has held his post since January, following John Kelly's resignation last year.
Her resignation later lacked any sense of controversy - unlike those of others who have left.
"Despite our progress in reforming homeland security for a new age, I have determined that it is the right time for me to step aside," she wrote. "I hope that the next secretary will have the support of Congress and the courts in fixing the laws which have impeded our ability to fully secure America's borders and which have contributed to discord in our nation's discourse."
Her replacement, McAleenan, has helped shape many of the administration's policies to date and is considered highly competent by congressional leaders, the White House and Homeland Security officials. But it's unclear if he can have much more of an effect on the issues at the border. The Trump administration has bumped up against legal restrictions and court rulings that have hamstrung many of its major efforts to remake border security.
Tensions between the White House and Nielsen have persisted almost from the moment she became secretary, after her predecessor, Kelly, became the White House chief of staff in 2017. Nielsen was viewed as resistant to some of the harshest immigration measures supported by the president and his aides, particularly senior adviser Stephen Miller, both on matters around the border and others like protected status for some refugees.
Once Kelly left the White House, Nielsen's days appeared to be numbered. She had expected to be pushed out last November, but her exit never materialized. During the government shutdown over Trump's insistence for funding for a border wall, Nielsen's standing inside the White House even appeared to rise.
But in recent weeks, as a new wave of migration has taxed resources along the border and as Trump sought to regain control of the issue for his 2020 re-election campaign, tensions

El Paso Mayor Dee Margo says he has had ongoing conversations with visiting officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, about possible solutions to the border crisis - all requiring congressional action and presidential cooperation.
He laid out a four-point plan that he thinks would address the long-term problems on the border.
"My position has been No. 1, have Homeland Security define what constitutes border security and what they need in the way of resources. Some will be physical structures, most will be manpower, and some will be technology," he said.
Second, he said, "You deal with DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Anyone who served in the military, you're a citizen. The rest of them, unless there's a criminal reason, they should have that choice as well if that's what they want.
"Then the 10 million to 12 million they say have been here for years illegally, my position is the egg is broken. Deal with it. Vet them for criminal activity and anybody with a criminal background, you deport. The rest of them, you give green cards."
Though that sounds like the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, Margo said, "It's not amnesty. It's a green card for economic opportunity, which is why they came in the first place. They don't get a path to citizenship.
"They get a legal way to work. No amnesty."
Step No. 3, he said, would be the reconstitution of the old Bracero Program that was in effect from the 1940s to the 1960s.
"It's still there, but the paperwork is so onerous that people aren't doing it," he said. "But in its heyday, it allowed Mexican agricultural workers to come in for harvest work and go home with their earnings and come back the next year.
"Now if they come into the U.S. to work in the fields, they won't leave because they're scared they can't get back."
The last piece would be to reform the H-1B Visa program.
"This lottery system with 16,000 to 19,000 visas is ridiculous," he said. "My son's firm was trying to get an underwriter from Lloyds for five years and gave up.
"We have 4 percent unemployment. We need skilled workers."
And that, Margo said, is a plan.
"You take those parts and put them together and you have a rational immigration system," he said.

Exclusive-Kris Kobach to Trump: You Do Not Need Congress to Immediately Solve Immigration Crisis
Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says that despite claims by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, President Trump does not need Congress to stem the tide of booming levels of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border.
In an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot's Breitbart News Tonight, Kobach said there is much the Trump administration and DHS officials can do to mitigate the soaring levels of illegal immigration in recent months where now about 1.5 million illegal aliens are projected to enter the country this year.

Donald Trump Says Ilhan Omar 'Doesn't Like Israel'
Contrary to claims by Nielsen, Kobach said Trump does not need Congress to take action to stop illegal immigration.
"It's not like we're powerless and it's not like we have to wait for Congress to do something," Kobach said. "It's sort of frustrating we see the Secretary of Homeland Security [Kirstjen Nielsen] saying 'Well, we need Congress to help us before we solve this problem.' No, we can actually solve the immediate crisis without Congress acting."
Kobach detailed three steps DHS and the Trump administration can take, immediately, to not only lower illegal immigration levels, but unilaterally end the expanded policy of Catch and Release - where more than 17,000 border crossers and illegal aliens were released into the interior of the U.S. over the last 12 days.
Kobach explained:
There's basically three steps. The first one is finalize a regulation that DHS proposed back in September. They could have finalized the regulation, made it go into effect in December, four months ago, but they've been dragging their feet ... what the regulation would do is basically supersede the Flores Settlement. The Flores Settlement is that 20-year-old settlement that limits the amount of time that a minor can be detained and effectively limits the amount of time that a family can be detained together. Once this regulation is published, we can detain the whole family, keep them together, and that reduces the incentive to bring these minors north and using them as 'Get out of jail free' cards. [Emphasis added]
The second [step] is because of the lack of traditional detention space, the Border Patrol is saying 'Well we have to let these people go.' Now I have some ... disagreements with the terms on which they're letting them go. Let's back up, we can create detention space. The federal government right now owns thousands, multiple thousands, of trailers and mobile homes that we use for hurricane disasters and they're selling them at bargain prices right now ... we should be using those to create basically processing centers where people ... you put a fence around a park or a parking lot, you park a hundred of those trailers there and you can have people have their immigration hearings, have their asylum and credible fear hearing, have everything right there. Deploy dozens of immigration judges down to these centers. Don't let them go, have a fleet of commercial planes ready to fly them back to their home countries. [Emphasis added]

Immigration experts say Trump's own immigration policies have caused so much chaos along the border that they may be encouraging illegal crossings. The furor over family separations last summer helped to highlight the fact that families won't be detained for long in the U.S. if they're detained at all.
And metering - in which people are asked to return to a busy port of entry on another day to seek asylum - may have encouraged asylum-seekers to cross illegally, said Andrew Selee, president of the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank.
"This policy chaos, coupled with a sense that the U.S. government may at some point really shut down the border, has generated an urgency to migrate now while it is still possible," he said.
Whatever the reasons for the migrant surge, there is a growing consensus that federal border resources are overwhelmed. While illegal border crossings are still down sharply from their peak in 2000, they have nonetheless reached a 12-year high.
While most illegal border-crossers used to be single Mexican nationals coming to the U.S. in search of work, more than half are now parents and children who have traveled from Central America to seek refuge in the U.S. Those families, along with unaccompanied children, are subject to specific laws and court settlements that prevent them from being immediately sent back to their home countries.
As a result, immigrant processing and holding centers have been overwhelmed, forcing officials to dramatically expand a practice Trump has long mocked as "catch and release."
Indeed, ICE has set free more than 125,000 people who came into the U.S. as families since late last year and is now busing people hundreds of miles inland, releasing them at Greyhound stations and churches in cities like Albuquerque, San Antonio and Phoenix because towns close to the border already have more than they can handle.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen also has voiced increasing exasperation, equating the situation to the aftermath of a Category 5 hurricane.
"We have tried everything that we can at DHS," she said Thursday on CNN. "We are out of the ability to manage this flow, and they need help."
She recently called on Congress to consider changes to the immigration system. But those efforts have so far landed with a thud.
House Democrats would almost certainly reject any plans to simply deport unaccompanied minors or otherwise rewrite the law governing asylum or family detentions that they see as protecting young migrants who are often fleeing difficult conditions.
In the Senate, where Republicans have the majority, there's little interest in big legislative proposals this year, especially on a divisive issue like immigration. Trump's ideas could be especially tough for senators facing reelection in 2020 in Colorado, Arizona and North Carolina, swing states with sizable Latino and immigrant populations.
In the meantime, tensions between agencies and at the White House have been bubbling up.
At Homeland Security, officials have expressed frustration with colleagues at the Health and Human Services Department and at the Pentagon, accusing them of doing too little to help.
And there are complaints about the White House and what some see as an effort by Miller to dismantle the leadership of the department, in part to shift the blame away from the White House.

Feds want 2 years to find children
SAN DIEGO - The Trump administration wants up to two years to find potentially thousands of children who were separated from their families at the border before a judge halted the practice last year, a task that it says is more laborious than previous efforts because the children are no longer in government custody.
The Justice Department said in a court filing late Friday that it will take at least a year to review about 47,000 cases of unaccompanied children taken into government custody between July 1, 2017 and June 25, 2018 - the day before U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw halted the general practice of splitting families. The administration would begin by sifting through names for traits most likely to signal separation - for example, children under 5.
The administration would provide information on separated families on a rolling basis to the American Civil Liberties Union, which sued to reunite families and criticized the proposed timeline Saturday.

Congressman Biggs Sends Letter to DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen
https://biggs.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-biggs-sends-letter-dhs-secretary-Kirstjen-Nielsen
GILBERT, ARIZONA - Today, Congressman Biggs transmitted a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to request additional information on the release of illegal aliens onto the streets of Arizona cities and communities.
Read the text of the letter below:
April 1, 2019
The Honorable Kirstjen Nielsen
Secretary of Homeland Security
Washington, D.C. 20528
Dear Secretary Nielsen,
Thank you for your continued efforts to secure our southern border and effectively respond to the illegal immigration crisis.
I have received alarming reports that illegal aliens are being released in Arizona communities by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol agents. A report from March 28 indicates that Border Patrol agents assigned to the Yuma Sector have begun releasing detainees on their own recognizance with little more than a notice to appear for immigration hearings. I have also received reports from agents that similar instructions have been given to release aliens apprehended and detained in the Tucson Sector. Reports at the end of 2018 indicated that more than 5,000 illegal aliens were released in Mesa between mid-October and November.
In a recent letter to my office, councilmembers from the City of Phoenix detailed that groups of illegal aliens have been dropped off by ICE at bus stations and churches with only a packet of information. The drop-offs have increased in frequency and quantity in the last several months. The drastic increase is overwhelming the community and posing a crisis to which Phoenix has no solution.
The release of these individuals should be of concern to every American, as their behavior is a flagrant exploitation of our immigration laws; our inability to properly vet and monitor them puts our communities at risk. Cities and communities should not be forced to bear the brunt of this crisis, which is inherently a federal responsibility. Moreover, I fear that this will only worsen the overall low-morale of ICE and Border Patrol agents who are grossly under-resourced and overworked.
Given these reports, I respectfully request additional information on the release of these individuals.
How does CBP and ICE determine which illegal aliens are safe to be released? Are aliens with a criminal record, no matter how minor, released?
Are aliens given any tracking device so ICE can track their movement after release?
Are aliens required to provide an address of their destination prior to release? Is that address verified? Are they required to check in with any immigration officials once they have arrived at that address?
Has Department of Homeland Security or any other agency provided resources or guidance to cities to assist them in serving or monitoring those released?
What resources, if any, are given to aliens being released?
Is DHS taking steps to identify additional detention space to prevent a greater number of aliens from being released?
Is there any other information you believe would be helpful for Members of Congress to know about this situation?
I look forward to your responses and to continuing to work with you to restore our nation's immigration laws and gain operational control of our southern border. Please let me know if there is any way I can assist you in those efforts.
Sincerely,
Andy Biggs
Member of Congress

Q Research General #7780: Qresear.ch Edition

Yet despite Trump's public fight, the number of arrests at the southern border skyrocketed from 58,000 in January to nearly 100,000 in March, according to Department of Homeland Security officials.
In reaction, Trump turned up the rhetoric another notch. Last weekend, he directed the State Department to halt foreign aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, even though experts said the move could exacerbate migration by further destabilizing those nations. And Trump's threat to close legal ports along the 2,000-mile border with the United States' third-largest trading partner sparked fierce opposition from Republicans and U.S. business leaders who warned of economic catastrophe.
"All of these actions alone are problematic, but when you compound them, you're really left shaking your head," Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) said in an interview. Trump "lacks a fundamental understanding of how this works, and generally wants to stoke fear and racism among folks who don't believe in offering asylum."
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), who visited Mexico and Central American countries in recent months, said officials cited Trump's threats to seal the border as "driving this new surge."
But the administration contends it has for months been warning of problems that Democrats have played down, while making no effort to work with Republicans to address an immigration system overwhelmed by the surge of migrant families.
In a four-page letter to Congress in late March requesting emergency resources, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen warned of a "dire situation" that had put the immigration system on the verge of a "meltdown."
Federal authorities had 1,200 unaccompanied minors and 6,600 families in custody, she wrote, and had apprehended nearly 100 groups of more than 100 migrants traveling together, an unprecedented situation. "This is one of the most serious crises the Department of Homeland Security has ever faced," she stated.
Nielsen also asked Congress to grant DHS the power to immediately deport minors from Central America, who have stronger legal protections than those from Mexico, and to detain families with children for longer than three weeks as they await asylum hearings, which can take more than a year because of court backlogs.
Speeding up deportations and detaining families, rather than releasing them into the United States - a policy Trump derisively calls "catch-and-release" - have been at the top of the administration's immigration agenda. But those proposals are nonstarters for Democrats.
"Congress has to act. .?.?. They have to get rid of the whole asylum system because it doesn't work," Trump told reporters Friday. "And frankly, we should get rid of judges."
Yet the president demonstrated a poor grasp of the facts during his border tour in Calexico. Referring to the 1997 Flores court settlement, which bars the federal government from detaining minors for more than 20 days, Trump blamed it on "Judge Flores, whoever you may be."
In fact, the case was named after Jenny Flores, a 15-year-old from El Salvador.
Last November, a federal judge in San Francisco blocked the Trump administration's attempts to ban Central Americans from seeking asylum on national security grounds. Trump's focus on ending asylum has undermined alternatives proposed by his Republican allies, including Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.), to add hundreds of immigration judges to help clear the backlog of asylum hearings.
"Trump wants a shortcut, but there's no shortcut," said John Sandweg, a high-ranking DHS official in the Obama administration. "We have to deal with the problem as a complex issue that requires complex solutions. It will take time and money and political will."
Democrats say Trump's hard-line tactics have made bipartisan compromise on immigration even more difficult. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said she believes that Trump's aims have "never been about trying to address" the flow of migrants but rather to use immigration "as a wedge" to rally his conservative base.
On Friday, Trump's campaign posted a video on Facebook featuring clips of Democratic presidential candidates, including former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke and Sen. Kamala D. Harris (Calif.), opposing the border wall and rejecting the notion of a border crisis.
And on the same day Nielsen warned in her letter to Congress that migrant children, two of whom died in federal custody last fall, are arriving "sicker than ever before," Trump mocked the asylum system at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The migrants are coached by lawyers to say, "I'm very afraid for my life," he said, even though they look as strong and fit as "the heavyweight champion of the world."
"It's a big, fat con job, folks," the president said.

Hiring boycott called against Sarah Sanders, Stephen Miller, Kirstjen Nielsen, other Trump immigration aides
Fortune 500 firms are being urged to rip up the resumes of Trump immigration aides linked to policies that led to the separation of illegal immigrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Many of you spoke out against this barbaric policy. However strong the opposition, your words are meaningless unless they are backed up with resolute action," said a letter from a group called Restore Public Trust promoting its "Trump Administration Separation" campaign. "We call on you to make it clear that you will not hire for employment, contract for consulting, or seat on your boards, anyone involved in the development or implementation of the Trump administration's family separation immigration policy," added the letter signed by several other liberal groups including the Southern Poverty Law Center, Moms Rising, American Bridge, and Allied Progress.
The group names several officials including White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, chief immigration aide Stephen Miller, and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. The letter shown below also mentions former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his former spokeswoman, Sarah Isgur Flores, now at CNN. The groups are making their case in a letter to CEOs and in a New York Times ad set to publish Sunday, shown above.
It also wants a hiring boycott on Trump immigration aides in lobbying shops and any think tank or political action committee companies work with. The separation of children was controversial, and targeted parents for arrest and deportation who had criminal records. It had been part of immigration policy for years, though the administration stepped it up in hopes it would scare families from trying to enter the U.S. After a wave of negative stories and comments, the administration ended it. Still, the groups want those who have worked on immigration policy punished.
"There are some lines that simply cannot be crossed," said the CEO letter. "It's been one year since the Trump administration announced their 'zero tolerance' immigration policy and ripped innocent children from the arms of their families seeking refuge at our border," said Karl Frisch, spokesperson for Restore Public Trust. "Unfortunately, this shameful episode in our nation's history still hasn't ended. And while the American people are still demanding answers about this heinous policy, many of the individuals involved in crafting, implementing, and defending it have yet to be held accountable. Some of these individuals have already left the administration, others will in the future. Regardless of when they leave, they shouldn't be allowed to seek refuge in America's boardrooms or corner offices."

Q Research General #7764: Thank You 8bit, /ourBO/ Edition
>>6070932
Commissioner McAleenan has described how he thinks the immigration system needs to change.
Border Patrol is projecting that 100,000 migrants will have crossed the southwest border legally and illegally in March, the highest single month figure in a decade. The El Paso sector, which includes West Texas and New Mexico, has seen some of the sharpest increases in recent months. But those crossing are now mostly family units and unaccompanied children, and that change in demographics has forced the CBP in particular to do things it is not used to doing.
The agency has begun medical screening for every child 17 and under taken into custody, a policy Mr. McAleenan called "unprecedented." And last week, for the first time in a decade, the CBP began releasing migrants directly after they have been processed due to overcrowding in Border Patrol stations and a lack of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) bed space.
The agency has reassigned 750 agents from four other ports of entry to process asylum-seekers, and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen sent a letter to Homeland Security employees last week asking for volunteers to help on the southwest border.
"This humanitarian mission which we are committed to is undermining our border security efforts," said Mr. McAleenan last week. "Changes in the law and closing the vulnerabilities in our legal framework is the only way that this flow is going to be reduced."
'IT'S A CHALLENGE TO US'
El Paso City Council meetings these days have come to include similar statements about the need for immigration reform.
Certain laws passed in recent years, Mayor Dee Margo said during a meeting this week, "amounts to basically unfettered asylum-seeking. We're a humanitarian nation. People are coming for their families, economic benefits, but it's a challenge to us."
Last week, the city appropriated $20,000 to the United Way to fund a volunteer coordinator position, and they're now helping Annunciation House - a nonprofit shelter that has been managing the network of more than two-dozen volunteer organizations - open a new 500-bed hospitality center for migrants.
If there is a face for the citizen response in El Paso, it is Ruben Garcia, the director of Annunciation House. He calls and texts with CBP and ICE every day, and calls and texts other churches and volunteer groups to see who could take the migrants in.
But he's begun to notice what he calls a "concerning" trend. When ICE releases migrants, it contracts with private companies that can transport migrants up to eight hours away - so when bed-space is low in El Paso, migrants can be taken to shelters in Las Cruces and Albuquerque, New Mexico. The CBP doesn't have that ability, but the volume of their releases has been increasing, according to Mr. Garcia, from 115 last Thursday to 240 this Monday.
Those releases are "basically going to be restricted to El Paso," he said in a press conference.
"I'm not sure exactly where Border Patrol is headed in terms of the releases," he added. "I very much hope [it] does not have a political component to it."
CBP did not respond to specific questions about their migrant releases by deadline.

BAKER NOTABLE AF
Border shock: 50% surge in gang members, 650,000 illegal immigrants will be freed into US in 2019
There has been a 50 percent jump in illegal immigrant gang members coming into the United States this year, according to the former Border Patrol chief.
What's more, he warned in Senate testimony Thursday, loopholes in federal law will result in some 650,000 illegal immigrants - more than the population of Wyoming - being released into the United States, where most will "never to be heard from again."
According to Mark Morgan, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol from 2016-2017, the border situation is at a crisis point.
"I am extremely concerned about the growing risks to our nation's public safety, national security, and rule of law, due to illegal and uncontrolled immigration. The crisis extends well beyond a single border - from Central America, through Mexico, to our southern border, and throughout every major metropolitan city in the United States," he told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Worse, he said that the U.S. isn't sure of the background of those coming to the country, and often loses them.
"It's simple - they step one foot on American soil, say the magic words under 'credible fear' and within a few days they're allowed into cities all across the U.S. What should sound additional alarms of concern is that most of the family members either lack proper identifying documentation or effective vetting of what they produce is impossible, so we know virtually nothing about who we're letting in. Once in, they are typically never to be heard from again," he said.
His grim testimony about the border crisis was endorsed by committee Chairman Sen. Ron Johnson, who blamed Congress and not the officials at the border.
"There is a humanitarian and national security crisis at our southern border. In the first six months of this fiscal year, Border Patrol apprehended over 175,000 family unit aliens and over 33,000 unaccompanied children. According to Secretary [of Homeland Security Kirstjen] Nielsen, we are on track to reach one million apprehensions by the end of the year, the first time since the fiscal year 2006," said Johnson.
"This crisis is not the fault of the dedicated, hardworking men and women of DHS; they have been given an impossible task. The fault rests with Congress alone. I challenge my colleagues to act. Unless you support this new reality of open borders, work with me now to address this crisis," he added.
Morgan highlighted the current rules that result in hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, turned away years ago, gaining access to the U.S., where they hide from deportation agents.
First, he repeated concerns from the Department of Homeland Security that some 1 million immigrants are going to try to cross the U.S.-Mexico border this year.
"Currently 60%-65% of those illegally entering today are families or minors. We know because of our broken immigration laws and system, they will be released into the interior of the U.S. Therefore, as the apprehensions reach one million this year, the unconscionable result will be the release of 650,000 immigrants into the U.S. That is more than the entire population of Wyoming. Contrast that with the late 1990s, when we experienced 1 million apprehensions, yet we removed the overwhelming majority of those who crossed," Morgan testified.
He also noted the surge in criminal gang members. He said:
"As an example, last week, three MS-13 members who were arrested in Maryland for stabbing a rival gangster and burning the body were resettled basically as refugees under the false pretenses of being brought to this country as 'unaccompanied minors.' Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated example. Long Island and Maryland became hot spots for MS-13 activity during the surge of Central American teens in 2014. The number of teens coming in now, both individually and with families, dwarfs the 2014 numbers. The MS-13 is one of the most violent and prolific transnational gangs the U.S. as ever seen and the influx of minors into the country through the current crisis will provide them with unlimited vulnerable prospects. While Border Patrol is tied up with the humanitarian mission, the smugglers business is thriving. According to Border Patrol, 800 gang members were apprehended so far this year, a 50 percent increase from last year. Imagine what they're not catching."

"Caravan Mother" More than 20 thousand migrants come to Mexico
description translated:
URGENT, SHARE Alert Segob for presumed caravan of 20 thousand Central American migrants. The Secretary of the Interior, Olga Sanchez Cordero, spoke of the meeting held yesterday in Miami with the Secretary of Internal Security of the United States, Kirstjen Nielsen. Cordero said that a plan was agreed to contain the migratory flow that crosses our country and warned of a new caravan, the "caravan mother", which would be organizing in Central America. We are aware that a new caravan is being formed in Honduras that they call 'the mother caravan' and that they are thinking that it could be 20 thousand people, Mrs. Nielsen is at this moment in the northern triangle of Central America, seeing what will be the collaboration of the north triangle because I do want to tell you something, that is very clear, it is not only the United States, it is not only Mexico, it is also the North Central American triangle that must do its part, "he said. On Facebook there is a page called "migrant caravan" that calls to leave in a group on March 30 from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with a message that reads: We seek refuge, in Honduras they kill us ". They also invite you to join a WhatsApp group in which migrants exchange security tips and strategies. While some worry about the possible dangers of the road, others invite to defend themselves. In the plan to contain migrants, the United States will provide technology and information to criminal groups, while the government of Mexico will seek to curb the flow of migrants through a siege on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, which in its 200 kilometers is the narrowest part from the country. There, the migratory, Federal Police and Civil Protection facilities will be located. "We are not going to militarize our southern border, we will not continue to give humanitarian visas in a massive way, either, we will give temporary permits for visitors and work throughout the southeast of our country, orderly and also safely," precise.

Kirstjen Nielsen blindsided over ICE nominee Ronald Vitiello's ouster
Top officials at the Department of Homeland Security, including Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, were caught off guard by the White House's sudden move Thursday night to pull the nomination of Ronald Vitiello as head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to two sources who spoke with the Washington Examiner. Nielsen, who has overseen DHS for 16 months, on Thursday was blindsided and called Vitiello after midnight for more information on what had happened, one source close to Vitiello said. Vitiello got a call from a White House official Thursday night telling him he would not be traveling with President Trump and Nielsen to Southern California the following day because his nomination had just been rescinded.
Both sources, who spoke on background because they were not authorized to speak for the White House or ICE, said Vitiello was told by a second White House official his name was pulled due to a "paperwork" issue. The second official who spoke with the Washington Examiner said it likely came down to Vitiello not being endorsed by ICE union head Chris Crane. Vitiello did not go into the office Friday due to the sudden change. He's now running ICE in an acting capacity. It's not clear where he is headed as the White House mulls over who to instead install at the agency. The move puts ICE without a leader as the agency deals with the highest number of noncitizens in its custody in over a decade.

States ask judge to stop construction of Trump border wall
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/437553-states-ask-judge-to-stop-construction-of-trump-border-wall
California on Friday led a group of 20 states in requesting that a federal judge stop President Trump from diverting federal funds to build his wall on the southern border.
The state attorneys general announced their request for the preliminary injunction as Trump traveled to California to visit a segment of the border wall.
In the filing, the states argue that Trump's declaration of a national emergency in order to divert federal funding to the wall from other sources is unconstitutional, and that construction of the wall under those circumstances would cause irreparable damage.

"Notwithstanding the president's expressed frustration with Congress and the legislative process, he must act in accordance with the procedures established in the Constitution to obtain funding for his border wall," the filing reads.
The states also claim that construction of the wall could cause "possible irreparable harm to endangered species" living near the border, and that the administration has violated the National Environmental Policy Act by not studying the potential environmental impact of the wall.
The states' request came just hours after the ACLU also asked a federal judge to implement a preliminary national injunction to halt construction of the border wall.
Trump declared a national emergency earlier this year following shortly after a 35 day-long partial government shutdown after Congress refused to pass a funding bill granting him his requested amount of funding to construct the border wall.
Attorney General William Barr said at the time that Trump had the legal authority and standing to declare the national emergency. And Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and other immigration officials have since called the situation at the border a crisis.
Trump earlier this week threatened to shut down the border with Mexico. But he later backed off that position, saying that he will give Mexico a year to stem illegal immigration and drug trafficking happening on the southern border.

Trump's DHS Releases More than 17K Illegal Aliens into U.S. in 12 Days
President Trump's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is continuing its mass release of border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the United States, most recently releasing more than 17,000 migrants in less than two weeks.
According to newly obtained data by Breitbart News, DHS released about 17,065 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the U.S. between March 21 and April 1, a mere 12-day period. Since December 21, 2018, DHS has released about 125,565 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the country.
The Catch and Release process often entails federal immigration officials busing border crossers into nearby border cities and dropping them off with the promise that they will show up for their immigration and asylum hearings, sometimes years later. The overwhelming majority of border crossers and illegal aliens are never deported from the country once they are released into the U.S.
Since December 21, 2018, DHS has released:
12,745 border crossers into the San Diego, California area
22,000 border crossers into the Phoenix, Arizona area
37,500 border crossers into the El Paso, Texas area
53,320 border crossers into the San Antonio, Texas area
In the last 12 days, DHS released nearly 6,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the San Antonio area, alone, forcing American communities to absorb the influx of soaring illegal immigration levels at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been tasked with releasing border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the U.S., ICE officials have confirmed, under the direction of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Acting ICE Director Ron Vitiello.
The Catch and Release policy has strained ICE resources, forcing fewer arrests of illegal aliens living in the interior of the country in recent months.
At current rates, DHS is on track to release about 500,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the U.S. by the end of this year. The mass release of border crossers has coincided with a surge of illegal immigration at the southern border, where about one to 1.5 million illegal aliens, in total, could arrive in the U.S. this year at current projections.

Syrian man caught at southern border illegally sneaking into US
https://americanmilitarynews.com/2019/04/syrian-man-caught-at-southern-border-illegally-sneaking-into-us/
U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended a Syrian native attempting to illegally enter the country from Mexico last week.
The 46-year-old Syrian man had snuck onto a train car before he was detected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection authorities in Calexico, Calif., on Friday, according to a CBP statement.
The train crossed the border in the early morning hours when the port's imaging technology noticed something unusual in one of the cars. Upon further investigation, officers found the Syrian man hidden inside the railcar's small external compartment.
"This apprehension highlights the fact that none of our inspections are routine, especially when people purposely attempt to avoid the process," Calexico Area Port Director David Salazar said in the statement. "CBP puts a lot of effort in identifying, vetting and prosecuting people who just don't want to abide by the legal process of entering our country."
Officers detained the man for an interview and collection of fingerprints. They later discovered he had no documents permitting his U.S. entry, and was instead a Syrian citizen.
Officers then charged the man with illegal entry and placed an immigration hold on him to pursue deportation after criminal prosecution has concluded.
"CBP officers at the Calexico port of entry have apprehended 12 percent more illegal aliens in fiscal year 2019 compared to the same timeframe in fiscal year 2018 attempting to enter the country hidden in trains; many come from the Northern Triangle region of South America with varied criminal backgrounds such as burglary, battery, and drug charges," the CBP statement said.
The Department of Homeland Security has estimated that approximately one million illegal immigrants will be apprehended by border patrol agents by the end of the year in what is a growing migration crisis in the U.S.
"In February, we saw a 30-percent jump over the previous month, with agents apprehending or encountering nearly 75,000 aliens," DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said last month. "This is an 80-percent increase over the same time last year. And I can report today that CBP is forecasting the problem will get even worse this spring as the weather warms up."
Nielsen and President Donald Trump have been in frequent communication as Trump considers closing the southern border to address the immigration crisis.
During a briefing call with the President, a DHS official said, "The system is on wire ... We now face what we call a systemwide meltdown."

DHS has already had to reallocate border patrol agents from ports of entry to working on asylum applications. The move has created significant delays at ports of entry and is expected to have a continued impact on those crossing through.

San Diego lawmakers sue Trump administration as border county cares for 11,000 asylum seekers
https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-san-diego-trump-lawsuit-asylum-seekers-20190404-story.html
San Diego County's Republican-dominated board of supervisors filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against the Trump administration, claiming that policy changes in the way the federal government treats asylum seekers have strained the city's finances and health services.
The Trump administration ended the so-called Safe Release program in October, which gave asylum seekers who had crossed the border assistance in reaching final destinations with family members and friends, the lawsuit noted.
"Now, large numbers of asylum seekers and accompanying family members are forced to remain in the County, without sufficient means to support themselves, because Defendants abruptly stopped providing asylum seekers with assistance in reaching their final destination," it reads. "In response to Defendants' sudden and unlawful change in policy … the County has been forced to expend substantial funds and other resources to provide medical screening and care to the asylum seekers."
The lawsuit, filed in District Court in Southern California, amounts to one more rebuke of the Trump administration's harsh immigration policies and rhetoric by a border city.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was named in the suit along with leadership at agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment.
The county board voted in February to sue the Trump administration over the program's end. The vote was 4 to 1, with three of the board's four Republicans joining one newly elected Democrat in supporting it.
In Nogales, Arizona, officials formally condemned the installation of six rows of razor wire the military installed on the U.S. side of existing border fence in the city, saying they feared it made residents less safe. In El Paso, Texas, county officials passed a resolution saying they were disillusioned by President Donald Trump's claims about the supposed lawlessness and dangers of the border.
In San Diego, the end of the Safe Release program meant the county had to find a place to shelter the 20 to 30 family units (60 to 80 parents and children) that have been released into the county each day since October 2018, according to the complaint. Since December, county health workers have been screening asylum seekers, many of whom have been staying at a shelter the county created out of an old courthouse it leased to a nonprofit. About 75 screenings are conducted by 14 county employees assigned to the shelter each day, according to the lawsuit.
"We have an obligation to take care of these families who have gone through so much - we can't let them become victims of human trafficking or become homeless," said Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, a newly elected Democrat whose district includes the shelter. "This is the federal government's responsibility. This crisis is being created entirely by Donald Trump's inhumane immigration policies."
Fletcher said 11,000 legal asylum seekers have come through shelters in San Diego since November, with an average stay of 72 hours.
Before the Safe Release policy ended, "ICE would transport the traveling asylum seekers directly to the departure points for their prearranged mode of transportation, such bus stations, train stations, and airports, facilitating an orderly release process. ICE would also provide a minimal amount of food to asylum seekers for their journeys to their final destinations," the lawsuit states.
Other supervisors did not return requests for comment.
The county has spent more than $1.3 million operating the downtown shelter, Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Dianne Jacob wrote on Twitter.
"The federal government's negligent approach to those seeking asylum is taking a huge toll on San Diego County taxpayers," she said.

Exclusive-Brandon Judd: DHS Can End Catch and Release by Empowering Border Patrol to Judge Asylum Claims
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/03/exclusive-brandon-judd-dhs-can-end-catch-and-release-by-empowering-border-patrol-to-judge-asylum-claims/
National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd says the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is considering a plan to allow U.S. Border Patrol agents to administer "credible fear" interviews to border crossers that would "exponentially" drive down soaring illegal immigration levels.
During an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot's Breitbart News Tonight, Judd said illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border could be quickly cut and the policy of Catch and Release could be ended if DHS authorized Border Patrol agents to conduct immediate interviews with illegal border crossers claiming asylum.
As Breitbart News has reported, less than ten percent of the Central American border crossers arriving at the southern border have legitimate asylum claims, DHS previously revealed. While nearly 90 percent of Central Americans passed an initial credible fear interview, only nine percent were actually granted asylum.
"If you look at one of the things that slow down the system, we just don't have enough USCIS officers to do credible fear interviews on the spot," Judd explained:
The statute only says that it has to be an immigration officer that does the credible fear interviews. So you can train Border Patrol agents to give credible fear interviews on the spot. If an individual fails a credible fear interview, that individual becomes subject to deportation immediately. That person does have appeals rights but that appeal has to be heard within ten days. Instead of taking two to five years to deport somebody, we could deport somebody within ten days if the credible fear interview is done on the spot. [Emphasis added]
The proposal, detailed by Judd in a Washington Times op-ed, has been under consideration by DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen but has yet to be implemented. The plan was "actually proposed" by White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, Judd said.
Under the plan, Border Patrol would be authorized to conduct interviews with illegal border crossers claiming asylum, rather than turning them over the adjudicators at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency.
Judd wrote in the op-ed of the proposal:

DHS Secretary Nielsen Says Border Smugglers Have 'Child Recycling Rings'
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen described Tuesday how human smugglers are operating "child recycling rings" to thwart U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as The Daily Caller reported in March.
The CBP has said the border crisis is at a "breaking point," and Nielsen talked about the escalating border crisis that is presenting new problems and demanding a variety of defensive measures during an appearance on Fox News's "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
The DHS secretary said human "smugglers are more active than ever before" at the U.S.-Mexico border and they have come up with a new tactic to promote illegal immigration.

It's a 'Cat 5' immigration crisis: Nielsen
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/its-a-cat-5-immigration-crisis-Nielsen
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Tuesday that the Trump administration is treating the immigration crisis as a "Cat 5 hurricane disaster."
"We are bringing all of the agencies together; we're asking everybody to chip in," Nielsen said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
"Why wouldn't we put the U.S. military along our border if it's really a crisis of that magnitude?" Carlson asked Secretary Nielsen.
TRUMP STANDS BY BORDER CLOSURE THREAT
"I think we're looking into that. We've made the request. I'm in constant contact with the acting secretary of defense. I talked to some of the combatant commanders today. We are in fact pushing more and more military resources to the border," Nielsen said.
President Trump threatened to close the border this week, prompting outrage from Democrats, and he called on Mexico to help prevent illegal immigration by using its own "strong" immigration laws.
The president also shut down aid to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.
"We are in fact pushing more and more military resources to the border."
- Kirstjen Nielsen, secretary of homeland security
"We're going to have a strong border, or we're going to have a closed border," Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday.
Carlson also pressed Nielsen on whether Trump would consider expanding the E-Verify system to punish employers who hire illegal immigrants, or sign an order eliminating "birthright" citizenship.
CAL THOMAS: IF NOT AN EMERGENCY, WHAT IS IT?
Nielsen made it clear everything was being considered.
"We have to stop the drugs. We have to stop the smuggling and trafficking gangs. He's very serious about it, so yes, I think everything is on the table," Nielsen said.

This invasion was designed by anti American socialists to overwhelm the social security in America.
Mexican officials warn of another caravan of 20,000 migrants preparing to shoot north, hoping to take advantage of the lax enforcement in both Mexico and lenient policies in the U.S. About 100,000 immigrants responding to those incentives have been nabbed at the border in March alone.
"The result is an illegal immigration superhighway that's flowing through Mexico," one senior Homeland Security Department official told The Washington Times.
By now, the nature of the border problem is clear: Families and children, assisted by drug smuggling cartels, have figured out how to exploit loopholes in federal law to gain a foothold in the U.S. They are coming in larger numbers and poorer health, and Homeland Security says it has reached the breaking point.
Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen thought she had scored a victory last week by signing a deal to strengthen efforts with Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala to keep their people at home. She returned from a trip to the region to tout the agreement, saying all sides shared responsibility.
But the State Department, bowing to President Trump's anger over the border situation, said this weekend that it would withhold commitments the U.S. made over the past two years to those countries.
"If we are going to give these countries hundreds of millions of dollars, we would like them to do more," acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told CNN's "State of the Union" show Sunday. "We could prevent a lot of what's happening on the southern border by preventing people from moving into Mexico in the first place."
Mr. Trump's anger has also extended to Mexico. He said last week that authorities could stop the Central Americans but lacked the willpower to do so.
The president said he would shut down the border unless something changes.
"They have to grab it, and they have to stop it," the president said. "We right now have two big caravans coming up from Guatemala, massive caravans, walking right through Mexico. Mexico is tough. They can stop them. But they chose not to. If they don't stop them, we're closing the border."
U.S. officials said Mr. Trump's frustration has flared after the Mexican government of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took office in December.

DHS Secretary Orders "Emergency Surge" of Border Patrol Agents Amid Illegal Alien Invasion
On Monday morning, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen ordered an "emergency surge" of border patrol agents amid the illegal alien invasion.
In a statement, DHS Chief Nielson ordered CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan to implement "emergency surge operations" to reallocate 750 officers to the border.
"The crisis at our border is worsening, and DHS will do everything in its power to end it," Nielsen said in a written statement. "We will not stand idly by while Congress fails to act yet again, so all options are on the table. We will immediately redeploy hundreds of CBP personnel to the border to respond to this emergency. We will urgently pursue additional reinforcements from within DHS and the interagency. And we will require those seeking to enter the United States to wait in Mexico until an immigration court has reviewed their claims."
The Hill reported:
Nielsen has also directed CBP to expand the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), a DHS plan to return migrants to Mexico while they wait for their day in immigration court.
Under Nielsen's directive, CBP will return hundreds more migrants per day to Mexico, including those caught at or between points of entry, according to DHS.
Nielsen further ordered the agency to plan to expand the MPP plan beyond California and Texas, the locations where it currently operates.
President Trump tweeted late Sunday night, "Homeland Security is being soooo very nice, but not for long!"
The US Border Patrol is being forced to restart "catch-and-release" at the border because there isn't enough bed space to hold illegal aliens and under the law, they cannot be immediately sent back across the border.
A record surge at the US-Mexico border is forcing border patrol agents to directly release illegal aliens into communities for the first time since the Bush administration.
Over 100,000 illegal aliens will be detained at the US-Mexico border in March alone - this is an invasion.
President Trump recently declared a national emergency to secure funding for a border wall and both Democrats and Republicans are pushing back against the President.
Huge caravans of Central American migrants have marched up through Mexico to the US border which has overwhelmed the asylum system - and another caravan is on the way.
The US is projected to add about 1.5 million illegal aliens (Democrat voters) to the American population by the end of 2019, should the current rates of border crossing and visa overstays continue, reported Breitbart.
The situation at the border is so dire that even Obama's DHS Chief Jeh Johnson acknowledged there "truly is a crisis" at the southern border.

Trump admin. orders faster personnel surge to border, wants more asylum seekers returned to Mexico
Washington (CNN)Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Monday directed Customs and Border Protection to speed its planned surge of 750 officers to assist the US Border Patrol along areas of the southern border where there has been a influx of migrants crossing into the US from Mexico.
She also told the border agency, which is overseen by DHS, to look at adding possibly more than 2,000 officers to the border areas.
Nielsen also directed the immediate expansion of the administration's policy of returning asylum seekers to Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings, calling for "hundreds of additional migrants" to be returned to Mexico each day.
So far, this policy is in effect in California and parts of Texas, but Nielsen said her department would look to expand the locations for returns as well.
"The crisis at our border is worsening, and DHS will do everything in its power to end it," said Nielsen in a statement.

US struggling with growing number of asylum seekers
Border officials are aiming to more than quadruple the number of asylum seekers sent back over the southern border each day, a major expansion of a top government effort to address the swelling number of Central Americans arriving in the country, a Trump administration official said Saturday.
It was the latest attempt to ease a straining immigration system that officials say is at the breaking point. Hundreds of officers who usually screen cargo and vehicles at ports of entry were reassigned to help manage migrants. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen asked for volunteers from non-immigration agencies within her department, sent a letter to Congress late this past week requesting resources and broader authority to deport families faster, and she met with Central American and Mexican officials.
The efforts are being made while President Donald Trump is doubling down on threats to shutter the U.S.-Mexico border entirely, a move that would have serious economic repercussions for both the U.S. and Mexico but wouldn't stop migrants from crossing between ports. His administration also announced it was cutting aid to the Central American countries home to most of the migrants.
Right now, about 60 asylum seekers a day are returned to Mexico at the San Ysidro, Calexico and El Paso ports to wait out their cases, the official said. They are allowed to return to the U.S. for court dates. The plan was announced Jan. 29, partially to deter false claimants from coming across the border. With a backlog of more than 700,000 immigration cases, asylum seekers can wait years for their cases to progress, and officials say some people game the system in order to live in the U.S.
Officials hope to have as many as 300 people returned per day by the end of the week, focusing particularly on those who come in between ports of entry, said the official, who had knowledge of the plans but was unauthorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
But the process so far has been slow-going, and such a sizeable increase may be difficult to achieve. The plan has already been marred by confusion, scheduling glitches and an inability by some attorneys to reach their clients. In San Ysidro alone, Mexico had been prepared to accept up to 120 asylum seekers per week, but for the first six weeks only 40 people per week were returned.
Plus, U.S. officials must check if asylum seekers have any felony convictions and notify Mexico at least 12 hours before they are returned. Those who cross illegally must have come as single adults, though the administration is in talks with the Mexican government to include families. Children are not returned.
Homeland Security officials have been grappling with an ever-growing number of Central American children and families coming over the border. Arrests soared in February to a 12-year-high and more than half of those stopped arrived as families, many of them asylum seekers who generally turn themselves in instead of trying to elude capture. Guatemala and Honduras have replaced Mexico as the top countries, a remarkable shift from only a few years ago. Migrants from Central America cannot be easily deported, unlike people crossing from Mexico.
Mexico has been treading lightly on the subject. After Trump lashed out, saying Mexico and the Central American nations were "doing nothing" about illegal immigration, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said his country would do everything it could to help to maintain a "very respectful relationship" with the U.S. government and Trump.
Meanwhile, Nielsen sent a letter to the heads of other agencies within her sprawling, 240,000-person department, asking for volunteers to help with border duties. And she wrote to Congress asking for more temporary facilities to process people, more detention space, and the ability to detain families indefinitely and to deport unaccompanied minors from Central America. While children from Mexico can be returned over the border, laws prohibit deportation to other countries.
Democratic congressional leaders expressed deep concern, saying the administration wanted to revive "horrific" and "immoral" plans, noting its failed hardline border policies have created "senseless heartbreak and horror."
"Democrats reject any effort to let the administration deport little children, and we reject all anti-immigrant and anti-family attacks from this President," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.

Q Research General #7660: Geeky MMT Theory Edition
Trump cuts foreign aid to three caravan nations
Donald Trump moved yesterday to cut direct aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, whose citizens are fleeing north and overwhelming US resources at the southern border.
The State Department notified congress that it would look to suspend 2017 and 2018 payments to the trio of nations, which have been home to some of the migrant caravans that have marched through Mexico to the US border.
The US President has turned the caravans into the symbol of the dangers of illegal immigration - a central theme of his mid-term campaigning last November. With special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe behind him, Mr Trump has revived his warnings of the caravans.
Mr Trump returned to a previous threat he never carried out: closing the border with Mexico. He brought up that possibility on Saturday and revisited it in tweets yesterday, blaming Democrats and Mexico for problems at the border and beyond despite warnings that a closed border could create economic havoc on both sides.
"It would be so easy to fix our weak and very stupid Democrat inspired immigration laws," he tweeted. "In less than one hour, and then a vote, the problem would be solved.
"But the Dems don't care about the crime, they don't want any victory for Trump and the Republicans, even if good for USA!"
As far as Mexico's role, he tweeted: "Mexico must use its very strong immigration laws to stop the many thousands of people trying to get into the USA. Our detention areas are maxed out & we will take no more illegals. Next step is to close the Border! This will also help us with stopping the Drug flow from Mexico!"
When reporters asked Mr Trump on Saturday what closing the border could entail, he said "it could mean all trade" with Mexico and added, "We will close it for a long time".
Mr Trump has been promising for more than two years to build a long, impenetrable wall along the border to stop illegal immigration, though congress has been reluctant to provide the money he needs. The US and Mexico trade about $US1.7 billion ($2.4bn) in goods daily, according to the US Chamber of Commerce, which said closing the border would be "an unmitigated economic debacle" that would threaten five million American jobs.
Bob Menendez, the ranking Democrat on the Senate foreign relations committee, spoke out against cutting off aid to Central America, declaring that "foreign assistance is not charity; it advances our strategic interests and funds initiatives that protect American citizens".
The Trump administration has threatened before to scale back or cut off US assistance to Central America. Congress has not approved most of those proposed cuts.
Short of a widespread border shutdown, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said the US might close designated ports of entry to re-deploy staff to help process parents and children.
Border officials are also planning to more than quadruple the number of asylum-seekers sent back over the border to wait out their immigration cases, said an administration official.
The official said about 60 migrants a day are returned and officials are hoping to send as many as 300 a day.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said his country was doing its part to fight migrant smuggling. "We want to have a good relationship with the government of the United States," Mr Lopez Obrador said.
The "mother of all caravans" expected to depart from Central America has begun by looking more like the baby of all caravans, after a group of about 40 migrants left yesterday for the US from the capital of El Salvador.
It was not clear whether they planned to meet with other migrants from Guatemala and Honduras, but the Honduran government denied there was another caravan forming in its country. Honduran Foreign Minister Maria Dolores Aguero suggested that such assertions could spur aspiring migrants to come together in larger groups.
Mexican Interior Secretary Olga Sanchez Cordero said last week that a caravan of migrants from Central America could be forming with more than 20,000 people, and she pledged to form a "containment" line around Mexico's narrow Tehuantepec Isthmus to stop migrants from continuing their northern journey.

And don't forget this:
US halting aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras
The United States will no longer provide foreign assistance to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
A State Department spokesperson told The Hill in a statement Saturday that the agency was directed to halt aid to the so-called Northern Triangle countries and was directed to do so by President Trump.
"At the Secretary's instruction, we are carrying out the President's direction and ending FY 2017 and FY 2018 foreign assistance programs for the Northern Triangle," the statement said. "We will be engaging Congress as part of this process."
The Hill has contacted to the White House for comment.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement Friday that she signed a "historic" regional compact this week with representatives of the Northern Triangle countries. She said the countries agreed to "combat human smuggling and trafficking, crack down on transnational criminals fueling the crisis and strengthen border security to prevent irregular migration."
President Trump on Friday said that the countries "set up" migrant caravans according to CNN.
"We were paying them tremendous amounts of money. And we're not paying them anymore. Because they haven't done a thing for us. They set up these caravans," he reportedly said.

Some news from earlier, reposting from earlier bread:
Mexico bows to Pres. Trump on 'containment' of illegal aliens
Mexico bowed to President Trump's border security demands by agreeing to set up a Central American illegal alien "containment" belt 2,200 miles south of San Diego.
Mexico's socialist president, Andrés Manuel López-Obrador, known as "AMLO," trumpeted after his huge July victory that he sympathized with migrants suffering from "hunger and poverty." He promised to slash funds dedicated to border control and claimed that he would stand up to any of President Trump's bullying tactics.
AMLO must have been confident that President Trump's hands were tied by the "Russiagate" investigation. He probably assumed that Democrats would either squeeze Trump out of office or continue to emasculate his ability to take major retaliatory actions.
But after Trump was exonerated by the special counsel, AMLO quickly dispatched his interior secretary, Olga Sánchez-Cordero, to meet with U.S. secretary of homeland security Kirstjen Nielsen in Miami on March 27.
Secretary Sánchez offered a Mexican Federal Police and military "containment" belt across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the narrowest part of the country and very close to the southern border with Guatemala. When asked about the breakthrough with Mexico, Secretary Nielsen said: "It's going to be a big change."
President Trump hit Twitter on March 28 with new threats of U.S.-Mexico border closure:
"Mexico is doing NOTHING to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants to our Country." He added, "They are all talk and no action. Likewise, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have taken our money for years, and do Nothing."
The usually bombastic President López-Obrador sought to calmly reassure the Trump administration that Mexico is now committed to a "very respectful relationship" with the United States to stop immigrant-smuggling. He added: "We are going to do everything we can to help. We don't in any way want a confrontation with the U.S. government."

– United States officials are now predicting that attempted border crossings into the country will likely be as high as one million migrants by the end of the year; highlighting the escalating humanitarian and legal crisis taking place along the US-Mexico border.
"U.S. border authorities are predicting the number of undocumented migrants stopped at the southern border could reach as high as 1 million by the end of the year, potentially doubling last year's level," reports ABC News.
"The numbers are trending from bad to worse, which is why we need Congress to act to fix outdated laws to address migrant flows," said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Tuesday.

Obama Border Patrol Chief Says Border Crisis 'Absolutely a National Emergency'
A former Border Patrol chief in the Obama administration, who was fired by the Trump administration in 2017, told national television on March 21 that there is "absolutely a national emergency" at the U.S.-Mexico border. Mark Morgan, who served as Obama's Border Patrol chief for most of 2016, told Fox Business's "Mornings with Maria" that there was an undeniable state of crisis at the border.
"It's absolutely a national emergency," Morgan said during the interview. "What we are talking about right now is part of the continued catch and release. It's a little bit different than before." He explained that previously anyone caught by border patrol agents would be turned over to ICE, who then releases them according to immigration policies. But now this does not happen because of overcrowding at border patrol and ICE detention facilities. "Now, border patrol agents are having to release illegal aliens into the interior of the United States. They're overwhelmed," Morgan said, adding that after the illegal aliens are released "you never hear from them again."
This week, border patrol released 250 migrants and are expected to release hundreds more because of an influx of Central American families causing overcrowding in immigration facilities, reported Los Angeles Times. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen warned lawmakers earlier this month that "illegal immigration is simply spiraling out of control and threatening public safety and national security." "In February, we saw a 30 percent jump over the previous month, with agents apprehending or encountering nearly 75,000 aliens," Nielsen told the House Committee on Homeland Security. "This is an 80 percent increase over the same time last year. And I can report today that CBP is forecasting the problem will get even worse this spring as the weather warms up."
Morgan, who was also a former FBI agent, thinks loopholes in asylum laws and the incentives of being in the United States are generally to blame for the level of crisis. "The intelligence will show you they're not fleeing violence and persecution like a lot of the talking points," he said. "Actually violence in Guatemala, [and] all Central American countries, are way down-homicide rates overall." He continued, "They're coming for two reasons economic equality [and] family reunification. And they know because of our asylum laws, they step one foot in American soil, they're allowed in never to be heard from again." The former border patrol chief said in order to handle the crisis, asylum laws should be amended to require anyone who wishes to seek asylum in the United States to make their applications in Mexico or their country of origin.

DHS: BORDER SECURITY 'NEAR SYSTEMWIDE MELTDOWN'
With the government on track to catch nearly 100,000 illegal aliens this month at the border, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen warned Monday that the immigration system is facing a "near systemwide meltdown."
If the projection holds, it would be the worst in a decade. But it would be more troubling because of the large number of children and families, who are nearly impossible to deport, the Washington Times reported.
"The situation at our Southern Border has gone from a crisis, to a national emergency, to a near systemwide meltdown, Nielsen said as she delivered the update.
She said 98 percent of illegal aliens caught at the border in 2017 remain in the U.S. today.
Nielsen said a wall is part of the solution, and Congress must change the laws to speed up deportation.

DHS Nielsen: Border Security Is 'Near System-Wide Meltdown'
Border security is collapsing because the cartels and migrants are exploiting Congress' refusal to close loopholes through the border, homeland secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Monday morning.
"The situation at our Southern Border has gone from a crisis, to a national emergency, to a near system-wide meltdown," Nielsen said at Auburn University's Center for Cyber & Homeland Security. Her prepared speech said:
There is no more fundamental responsibility for a nation. And yet, the American people have been let down by our government again...and again. I want to cut through the politics to tell you loud and clear: there is NO "manufactured" crisis at our Southern Border. There is a real-life humanitarian and security catastrophe. Late last year, we were apprehending 50,000 - 60,000 migrants a month. Last month, we apprehended more than 75,000-the highest in over a decade. And today I can tell you that we are on track to interdict nearly 100,000 migrants this month ...
I say this with the utmost sincerity and urgency: the system is breaking. And our communities, our law enforcement personnel, and the migrants themselves are paying the price.
Congress needs to fix the problem, she said:
Because of outdated laws, misguided court decisions, and a massive backlog of cases, we are usually forced to release these groups into the United States. And we have virtually no hope of removing them in the future, despite the fact that the vast majority who apply for asylum do not qualify for it.
...
Our laws aren't keeping up with the migrant flows, and until they are fixed, the situation will only get worse and more heartbreaking. We need Congress to stop playing politics and do what's right.
We need Congress to change the law to allow us to keep families together throughout the immigration process ... to ensure the safe and prompt return of unaccompanied children to their home countries ... and to reverse the court ruling that directs dangerous criminals to be released into our communities.
This a complex and emotional issue. But no matter what side of the aisle you are on, we have common cause: to uphold our sovereign responsibility to secure our borders; to facilitate legal trade and travel; to prevent drugs from poisoning our communities, and to help vulnerable populations - all at the same time.
However, Democrats have united to block any legal reforms that would slow the migration of poor migrants across the border - and GOP legislators have declined to get changes either by inflicting political pain on Democrats or by making political compromises with Democrats.

DHS Releases 84.5K Border Crossers, Illegal Aliens into U.S. in Two Months
The Department of Homeland Security released 84,500 foreign family members into the United States since December after they crossed through the U.S.-Mexico border, Breitbart News has confirmed.
In newly confirmed federal data from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, Breitbart News has learned the massive scale and scope of DHS's ramped up Catch and Release policy.
For months, DHS officials have said privately that the Catch and Release program has been taken to new heights, while ICE union officials declared this week that the program was in "overdrive" under the direction of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
Between December 21, 2018 and March 5, DHS has released a total of 84,500 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. This release process often entails federal immigration officials busing border crossers into nearby border cities and dropping them off with the promise that they will show up for their immigration and asylum hearings, sometimes years later.
San Antonio, Texas has had to absorb most of these released border crossers and illegal aliens, with about 37,500 being dropped off in the city. Another 24,000 were dropped off in El Paso, Texas, while 14,500 were released in Phoenix, Arizona and 8,500 were released in San Diego, California.
At this rate, DHS is releasing more than 42,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the country about every month. Should this current Catch and Release rate remain throughout the calendar year, by the end of 2019 DHS will have released more than half a million border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S.
The overwhelming majority of illegal aliens - of which there are already 11 million to 22 million living in the U.S. - are never deported.
Federal immigration officials expect the Catch and Release program to be supercharged this year as the Trump administration most recently expanded the program and cut back on ICE detention space.
Current illegal immigration projections predict that aside from the border crossers and illegal aliens who are caught by Border Patrol, then released into the interior of the country, there could be about half a million illegal aliens who successfully cross into the U.S. through the southern border, undetected, this year.

"Democrats don't eat babies"
SEATTLE - Talk about fake news!
The current scandal at Amazon, first reported by NBC News, is that a totally scurrilous book that makes such preposterous claims as Democrats eat babies has been pushed to the bestseller list.
QAnon is a strange pro-Trump conspiracy that sprouted among fringe right-wing elements on the Internet and seemingly has gone viral, infecting increasing numbers of Donald Trump's supporters.
A book that exalts the conspiracy, "QAnon: An Invitation to the Great Awakening" and its slogan "Where We Go One We Go All," was Amazon's bestselling book under the "censorship and politics" category, pushed there by Amazon's logarithms. Such classics as "Fahrenheit 451," "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Lord of the Flies" were being outsold by "QAnon." Amazon is also pushing products that relate to it although now there is a box to "report incorrect product information."
At the same time, another "fake news" story that refuses to go away is the false contention that vaccines cause autism. One horrific result, prevalent in southwestern Washington state, is that there are outbreaks of virulent diseases such as measles, once thought to have all but wiped out. At a congressional hearing, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wa., said the measles outbreak is highly worrisome and that a national campaign to tout the safety of vaccines is desperately needed.
Another "fake news" story, being spread by the White House, even after the failed summit with North Korea, is that North Korea is no longer pursuing nuclear weapons or rebuilding dismantled missiles launch sites that could propel a nuclear weapon toward cities as far away as Chicago. Despite 100 percent agreement by the U.S. intelligence agencies that North Korea is not giving up nuclear weapons, Trump insists North Korea is not testing nuclear weapons. He said, "Some people are saying photos show new missile launching sites and some people aren't." He said he trusts dictator Kim Jong Un.
Yet another "fake news" line being pushed by the Trump administration is that children taken from their parents seeking legal asylum in the U.S. are not being held in cages or sexually abused or mistreated in any way. Kirstjen Nielsen, secretary of homeland security, falsely said under oath there are no cages and no parents are being deported without multiple opportunities to take their children with them. Her department made no effort for months to locate children for those deported parents or have decent records. At least three children have died under U.S. supervision.
And we have the non-witch hunts. It is not a witch hunt when more than 30 people have been indicted or convicted of criminal behavior by federal grand juries and judges. It is not a witch hunt when strong evidences of tax fraud, insurance fraud and illegal payments designed to thwart national elections are under investigation.
Trump says that manufacturing jobs are returning to the United States. Fake news. General Motors just shuttered a 6-million-square-foot plant that made the Cruze auto in Lordstown, Ohio, with 1,700 jobs lost and a devastating impact on small businesses and homeowners there.
People want to believe that things are getting better, that their president is not just a blowhard who has lied 9,000 times and is only interested in himself. But there's danger in believing fake news.
The QAnon movement is another one of those nonsensical movements that take root with segments of the public every now and then, especially people who want to believe the worst about those who disagree with them.
This is the book blurb: "If you value the truth, you will want to learn about the QAnon movement and the battle that is being waged on your behalf to protect you and your children from abuse and enslavement. The war between Good and Evil is no longer merely symbolic. Evil is being, tried and brought to justice in federal courts and military tribunals today. Criminally corrupt government leaders, celebrities, religious leaders, media figures, and corporate heads will be tried and punished for crimes involving treason, human trafficking, ritual sacrifice and unspeakable perversions."
We are becoming a nation that not only is rejecting its traditions and institutions but is credulous about things that make no sense. Shame on those who tout fake news and push ridiculous conspiracy theories to make money and scare people. Also, Democrats do not eat babies.

Pentagon seeks military base to house 5,000 unaccompanied children who cross US-Mexico border
WASHINGTON - The Defense Department is reviewing a number of military bases to find a location that can house up to 5,000 unaccompanied migrant children as the U.S. braces for a surge of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally this spring.
The Department of Health and Human Services submitted the request for space late last week, as Homeland Security leaders warned that tens of thousands of families are crossing the border each month. That flow, said Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, will grow worse this spring as the weather gets better.
The Pentagon last summer approved the use of Goodfellow Air Force Base near San Angelo, Texas, for an HHS request to accommodate up to 20,000 children. Legal and environmental requirements were finalized, but HHS never came back with a formal request to actually use the base. Officials said that the extra spaced wasn't needed, and there also were concerns that HHS didn't have the money to construct needed housing and other support facilities at the base.
Army Lt. Col. Jamie Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said Tuesday that since this HHS request is smaller than last year's, the department is doing another review. It's unclear if the Pentagon will once again propose Goodfellow as the location or if there is another military base that may already have facilities that could accommodate the smaller-sized group.
HHS Secretary Alex Azar addressed the issue of migrant children during a hearing Tuesday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He said HHS is asking for $1.3 billion in the 2020 fiscal year budget and the creation of a contingency fund of up to $2 billion.
"We have requested quite a lot, but at the rate we are going with the kids coming across the border, it is quite a burden financially," he said.

Had he known, Azar said he hopes he would have raised concerns.

DHS chief Nielsen: Central American countries 'want their children back' but U.S. can't send them because the law doesn't allow it
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told a House committee on Thursday that Central American governments in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador have said they want the U.S. to return their children, but that can't happen under current law.
"What we hear from the Northern Triangle governments - they have said this publicly. I am sure that they will tell you when you visit them - is they want their children back," she told the House Homeland Security Committee.
"Our laws uniquely allow us to send Mexican children back home after they have gone through a process, do not have a legal right to stay, but under the law, we cannot send children from other countries back, except for Mexico and Canada," she added.
"So the Northern Triangle governments have said to us - they will say to you - 'please send us our children back. We want them reunited with our families and communities here," the DHS chief continued.

Sign: ICE now detaining 50,000 in all-time high, and yet Congress continues to oppose POTUS Trump's emergency declaration
The number of people being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reached an all-time high of 50,000 as migrants from Central America and Mexico continue to stream towards the United States, deepening the humanitarian crisis.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen testified to a Democrat-controlled House this week that the federal government and, specifically, her border agencies, are fast running out of resources to deal with the rising numbers of migrants as well as space to detain them. But while some Republicans offered encouraging or sympathetic words, Democrats seemed unfazed.
In reporting the latest figures provided by the government, The Daily Beast reported:
It's an increase of approximately 2,000 people in the month-plus since Jan. 30, when ICE, it previously told The Daily Beast, was detaining 48,088 people. And it's just another 2,000 people shy of the 52,000-person daily detentions ICE is asking Congress to fund in its next budget.

On Friday, Nielsen announced that she would extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 84 South Sudanese nationals living in the U.S. through November 2020. Despite the TPS program being designed to be temporary, eligible South Sudanese nationals have enjoyed amnesty in the U.S. since November 2011.
Nielsen's extension of TPS for South Sudan comes just a week after the Homeland Security secretary announced that she would extend TPS for more than 300,000 Sudanese, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and El Salvadoran nationals living in the United States.

Immigrant Deaths Under Trump Virtually Unchanged Since Obama Era
Immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the Trump administration are dying at virtually the same rate as they did during the Obama administration.
During former President Barack Obama's first year in office, 10 foreign nationals died in ICE custody. Five passed away in 2012, and 12 died in 2016, according to ICE data obtained by the Washington Examiner. The numbers are not far removed from President Donald Trump's first two years in office.
Ten detainees died in 2017 and 12 died in 2018, according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association. There have been no reported deaths in fiscal year 2019 as of March 5.
Not only are current deaths on par with the Obama administration, but they remain far lower than the numbers from about 15 years ago. Thirty-two people died in calendar year 2004, and 20 died in 2005. A far larger number of foreign nationals were caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border during the 1990's and early 2000s, which led to more immigrants being detained than is currently the case.
The data contradicts a narrative pushed by many Democrats that the current administration is less humane to foreign nationals that are caught trying to enter the country illegally.
"Madam Secretary, do you know how many children have died in CBP custody under your tenure as secretary?" New Mexico Democratic Rep. Xochitl Torres Small asked Wednesday during a House congressional committee hearing with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. "Can you give me the numbers and how many children have died?"
While speaking at a town hall in January regarding immigration, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed Trump's tenure was "a departure" from all modern presidencies, and blamed the deaths of two migrant children who died in custody on a lack of proper medical care.

President Trump is projected to oversee the largest flow of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border since former President Bush's administration, surpassing every year of crossings under former President Obama.
As Breitbart News reported, more than 76,000 border crossers attempted to enter the U.S. in the month of February - the most apprehensions of illegal border crossers and migrants in this month in 12 years.
While Trump's administration expanded the Catch and Release program last month and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen focuses her attention on cybersecurity and terrorism issues, the U.S. is projected to see a level of illegal immigration this year that will surpass every year of illegal immigration under Obama.

Proposed Bill Could Make New Mexico a Sanctuary State
A bill in the New Mexico legislature that would restrict U.S. government contracts for immigration detention centers could turn the Land of Enchantment into a sanctuary state. Democratic state Reps. Angelica Rubio and Antonio Maestas are promoting a bill that narrows the use of state and local resources to detain those accused of violating federal immigration laws. Republican lawmakers in New Mexico are expected to oppose the bill and one GOP officeholder at the county level denounced it.
"This bill allows for the state of New Mexico to be able to provide some accountability and some oversight when it comes to the issue of immigration detention facilities,"Rubio said, according to TV station KOB4. "These are institutions that are essentially profiting off people and their bodies, and all for issues that we should be legislating and trying to solve," she said. "I think that by allowing these institutions to continue here in the state of New Mexico without any transparency or oversight is really a disservice to taxpayers."
If the measure becomes law, state law enforcement agencies would be required to conduct two public meetings before entering into or renewing federal contracts to operate immigration detention facilities. Enactment of the bill could also cause New Mexico to miss out on U.S. Department of Justice formula grants because the federal government may view the state as a sanctuary state and flouting immigration laws, according to a fiscal impact report released by the Legislative Finance Committee. "In the case of many federal law enforcement grants, the federal government requires immigration cooperation assurances as a prerequisite to receiving funding," according to the report. Last year, more than $335 million allocated for the DOJ program was withheld from New Mexico and other states.
Cibola County Commissioner Robert Windhorst, a Republican, didn't mince words about the proposed legislation in an interview with The Epoch Times. His county is home to the Cibola County Correctional Center, a privately run prison that serves as a detention facility for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The legislation could put federal funding for the facility in jeopardy. "I think it's ridiculous. I think it's shortsighted," Windhorst said. He also called the legislation "un-American." He described Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, as "insane" because "she wants to open up our borders," and says Lujan Grisham is taking this extreme position because she doesn't want to be governor for eight years. "I think she wants to run for president." "The whole Democratic leadership is saying there is no problem at the border." New Mexico, which shares a border with Mexico, has become a "terrible magnet" for illegal aliens who receive extensive government services at the expense of taxpayers, he said. The bill, if it becomes law, will make matters worse, he said. "When you offer the sanctuary statuses, you're inviting high crime, high unemployment, and a large welfare output," Windhorst said. Democrats are "trying so hard to limit our Second Amendment rights, but at the same time, they are making it easy for illegal aliens."
The Trump administration launched a crackdown on sanctuary cities days after the president was inaugurated. Trump issued Executive Order 13768 on Jan. 25, 2017, to withhold federal monies from sanctuary jurisdictions but it was permanently enjoined nationwide on Nov. 20, 2017, by U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick III, an Obama appointee. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Orrick's ruling in an Aug. 1, 2018, decision. The administration also stepped up immigration enforcement in California last year after new sanctuary-state laws took effect, curbing the power of state and local law enforcement to hold, question, and transfer detainees at the request of federal immigration authorities.
Federal prosecutors were considering filing criminal charges against elected officials harboring illegal aliens in sanctuary jurisdictions, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Jan. 16, 2018. "The Department of Justice is reviewing what avenues might be available," Nielsen said then. "The context of this is, of course, not only putting my ICE officers at risk, but also finding an efficient and effective way to enforce our immigration laws." It is unclear if those prosecutors have taken action.

Top 5 Border Falsehoods Pushed by Congressional Democrats and the Media
March 7, 2019
Illegal immigration is not compassionate. It's inhumane, unjust, and cruel.
President Donald J. Trump
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen spoke before Congress yesterday about the security and humanitarian crisis on our southern border. Acknowledging that such a crisis exists would make Democrats accountable for working with President Trump to solve it. Their leaders have already gone on the record to say they will not.
Instead, they hope to keep a lid on the ugly, painful truths behind America's broken immigration system. It is important to set the record straight.
MYTH: There is no crisis at the border.
FACT: We continue to face a surge in illegal immigration that has brought the border crisis to a breaking point.
There has been a massive surge in illegal migrants arriving at our border, with more than 76,000 apprehended or deemed inadmissible at a port of entry last month-the most of any February during the past 12 years.
This fiscal year, U.S. Border Patrol has seen a 97 percent increase in apprehensions compared to the same time period last year.
Even before this recent surge, former President Obama called the situation at our southern border "a humanitarian crisis" as early as 2014.
MYTH: The problem at the border used to be much worse.
FACT: Today, we face an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants that loopholes prevent from being returned quickly to their home countries.
The makeup of illegal immigration has completely changed from previous years. Now, record numbers of family units and minors are arriving at our border, and legal loopholes force them to be released into the interior of the country. Human smugglers know this, and these criminal enterprises routinely exploit these loopholes to smuggle children across the border as leverage.
By contrast, in FY 2000, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) apprehensions were primarily single adults and, as such, 95 percent of those apprehended were repatriated within hours.
Apprehensions of family unit aliens and Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) have surged by 338 percent and 54 percent respectively this year.
MYTH: A wall wouldn't help because drugs are coming through ports of entry.
FACT: Not only do we not know the amount of drugs smuggled between ports of entry, but building the wall will help free up more resources to seize the drugs coming in.
Obviously, there are more drug seizures at ports of entry that are manned by security than remote areas of the border with limited law enforcement presence. That doesn't mean drugs aren't coming in between ports of entry.

"They Raped Us So Many Times": DHS Secretary Reveals Every Migrant Girl Over Age 10 Gets Pregnancy Test
There is so much rape going on at the southern US border that every migrant girl over the age of 10 is given a pregnancy test after arriving in the United States, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
"Very unfortunately, because of the increase in violence, at ICE, when we have families with children, we have to give every girl a pregnancy test over 10. This is not a safe journey," Nielsen said during Wednesday testimony to the House Homeland Security Committee.
As the Daily Mail's David Martosko notes, nearly 1/3 of women surveyed in 2017 by Doctors Without Borders reported being sexually abused during their journey.
Doctors Without Borders reported in 2017 that '68.3 percent of the migrant and refugee populations entering Mexico' from Central America 'reported being victims of violence during their transit toward the United States.'
And '[n]early one-third of the women surveyed had been sexually abused during their journey,' the group concluded. -Daily Mail
On Wednesday, the New York Times reported on the sexual assault crisis migrant women are facing - starting with the harrowing tale of a 36-year-old mother of three who was held as a sex-slave in a Texas house while she was drugged and raped for several weeks.
It was the summer of 2014, and Melvin, a 36-year-old mother of three, had just completed the journey from her native Guatemala, crossing the Rio Grande on a raft before being led to the house in the Texas border city of McAllen.
For weeks in that locked room, the men she had paid to get her safely to the United States drugged her with pills and cocaine, refusing to let her out even to bathe. "I think that since they put me in that room, they killed me," she said. "They raped us so many times they didn't see us as human beings anymore."
The Times reported on more than 100 documented cases they found through interviews with law enforcement officials, federal judges, immigrant advocates and prosecutors.
In January, President Trump cited the Doctors Without Borders report during his State of the Union speech, noting that "One in three women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico."
Meanwhile, Trump said during a Saturday speech to conservative activists that when migrant girls head north, Central American mothers often "'give them massive amounts of birth control pills because they know their daughters are going to be raped on the way up to our southern border."
"Think of how evil that is," Trump said.

Ivanka Trump calls on American companies to invest in our workers
For decades, American workers were neglected and forgotten as Washington stood by idly. While corporate America pushed for cheap labor abroad, our leaders let communities in the heartland crumble instead of fighting for blue-collar employees.
President Donald J. Trump pledged a new kind of economic agenda to change all of that. In just over two years in office, his Buy American and Hire American policies have poured investment back into the United States. More manufacturing jobs were created in 2018 than any single year in the last 20, for example.
America now has the hottest economy on earth. The next step is making sure that soaring growth pays off for every working American family.
Today, Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump hosted some of the country's top CEOs-including Apple's Tim Cook and Walmart's Doug McMillon-for the first meeting of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board at the White House. The group, which will advise President Trump's National Council for the American Worker, is made up of 25 leaders from across industries and communities.
Its mission: Help more American workers get the skills training they need to fill one of the 7.3 million available jobs in our country today.
"Employers were coming to us and they were saying, 'We're optimistic about America, we want to invest here and a constraint for growth is the lack of a skilled workforce,'" Ms. Trump told The Wall Street Journal this week. "We don't have people to fill the jobs."
https://www.wsj.com/articles/ivanka-trump-calls-on-businesses-to-reshape-training-efforts-11551881026
The Pledge to America's Workers, which President Trump announced last summer and Ms. Trump leads, is part of a major push by the Trump Administration to fix that. Since the launch last July, 205 companies and organizations have pledged more than 6.5 million new career opportunities and apprenticeships for American workers and students.
"The right skills matter more than degrees," Ms. Trump said.

Quote of the day: Record numbers of illegal migrants
"Bottom line is that if this continues, it's like adding a congressional district of illegal immigrants every year," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said of America's border crisis.
He's right. The average congressional district is home to about 600,000 people. According to numbers released yesterday by the Department of Homeland Security, officials have apprehended nearly 268,000 people at the southwest border since October 1-on target to reach more than 640,000 for the fiscal year.
"This has to stop," Sen. Graham says.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen delivered that same message to Congress today. "We face a crisis-a real, serious, and sustained crisis at our borders," she said. "I hope there can be a consensus that the current system isn't working and that this is an emergency."
Among the horrible stories of victims suffering under the current, lawless system, one told by Secretary Nielsen today should move every member of Congress to act. Young women traveling north to the U.S. border are sexually abused with such regularity, she said, that U.S. immigration officials must give every girl over age 10 a pregnancy test after arriving.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6778273/Kirstjen-Nielsen-says-recycling-rings-let-illegals-reuse-children-jump-border-repeatedly.html
"This is not a safe journey," she added. No one should defend this awful status quo.

'Child Recycling' Rings Smuggle Migrants into U.S., Says DHS
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told a U.S. House committee on Wednesday that human smugglers are "recycling" minors to enable adult migrants' entry into the U.S.
"Smugglers and traffickers have caught on that the outdated laws, lack of resources, and bad court decisions effectively give them a free ticket into America," Secretary Neilsen told the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday. "We have encountered recycling rings, where innocent young people are used multiple times to help aliens gain illegal entry. As a nation, we simply cannot stand for this."
She testified that her agency witnessed a 620 percent increase in families, or those posing as families, who are apprehended at the U.S. border with Mexico.
United States Border Patrol Chief of Operations Brian Hastings told reporters during a Tuesday press conference that agents are finding large numbers of fraudulent familial claims.
"From April 2018 through February 2019 we have had almost 2,400 fraudulent claims of families," the operations chief explained. "Of those fraudulent claims, some are people who claim they are under 18 and they're not. Others have actually been fraudulent familial claims."
So far this fiscal year, Border Patrol agents apprehended 136,150 migrants claiming to be family units and 26,937 people claiming to be unaccompanied minors, according to the February Southwest Border Migration Report released Tuesday afternoon. This is a total of 163,087 family unit aliens (FMUA) and unaccompanied minors so far this year. In all of Fiscal Year 2018, Border Patrol agents only apprehended 157,248, the 2018 Southwest Border Migration Report stated.
Breitbart News Border/Cartel Chronicles Director Brandon Darby previously warned this was a consequence of current immigration laws that allow people to stay in the U.S. if they have a child with them when they cross the border.
"If you come with a child you cannot be deported - by child we mean anybody under the age of 18," Darby said in an interview on Breitbart News Sunday in February. This is basically telling human traffickers to attach a child to your migrant caravan and say that everybody that's with that child is a family member, and you get in."
"All they have to do is kidnap a baby and they get to live in the United States now," he said. That's all they have to do, is show up with a kidnapped baby. We have no way to prove it - we're not DNA testing, we have no way to prove it."
CBP officials previously told Breitbart News that they do not DNA test or fingerprint young children to establish or confirm their identity and familial relationship with the possessing migrant.
In July 2018, then Rio Grande Valley Sector Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Raul Ortiz told Fox News that they were seeing a growing number of migrants illegally crossing the border with children who were not their own.
During Fiscal Year 2018 Ortiz said they reported 600 instances where agents noticed fake documents being used in fraudulent family cases.

DHS: Illegal Arrivals Set To Hit One Million By End Of Year
Illegal arrivals at the U.S. southern border are set to hit one million by the end of fiscal year 2019, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told Congress in prepared remarks Wednesday morning.
"The agency is now on track to apprehend more migrants crossing illegally in the first six months of this fiscal year than the entirety of FY17, and at the current pace we are on track to encounter close to one million illegal aliens at our southern border this year," Nielsen said.
Nielsen's testimony comes just one day after Customs and Border Patrol revealed that in February U.S. authorities apprehended or detained 75,000 illegal aliens constituting a 30 percent increase in illegal encounters or apprehensions over the previous month. Nielsen warned that "I can report today that CBP is forecasting the problem will get even worse this spring."

Anons:
Sorry for being so salty and graphic on the board regarding my comments on the Demonctrats. I am tired of watching this great individual Kirstjen Nielsen get shit on by these looser's every time she shows up on the hill to testify regarding the border.
These assholes on the left don't give one flying fuck about these kids what so ever. They are just one of the few pawns left in their chess board.
Mean while we have thousands dying every day from drug over doses and our hospital's are over burdened with junkies and we can't take care of the true sick people who did nothing to damage themselves.
Yet we have no strong deterrent for dealing drugs in this country.
Billion's of dollars are being wasted every year taking care of this problem yet we have no money for roads and education.
These people on the left need to be shown the door along with the POS's on the right which lack any balls.

Q Research General #7080: Interesting Ring Sheila Edition
A coalition of Republican and Democrat Senators is lobbying Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to more than double the number of low-skilled foreign workers that businesses can import to take blue-collar American jobs.
Eleven Republican and Democrat Senators, including Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Angus King (I-ME), are seeking to convince Nielsen to once again increase the number of H-2B foreign workers who are admitted every season to take U.S. jobs that would otherwise go to young and working-class Americans.
Every year, U.S. companies are allowed to import 66,000 low-skilled H-2B foreign workers to take blue-collar, non-agricultural jobs. For some time, the H-2B visa program has been used by businesses to bring in cheaper, foreign workers and has contributed to blue-collar Americans having their wages undercut.

Beltway Class Praises DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen While She Oversees Illegal Immigration Surge
Washington, D.C. political establishment and beltway class are praising their close ally, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, as she oversees a surge in illegal immigration and implements an expansion of the Catch and Release program.
In a glowing piece by Politico, Nielsen received repeated praise for "standing strong" and circumventing President Trump's criticism of her role as DHS secretary, where she has overseen a continued surge in illegal immigration while focusing her agency's attention on cybersecurity issues and terrorism prevention.
"Kirstjen is still standing strong as secretary because she gets results and doesn't get distracted," former DHS Chief of Staff for the Bush administration, Chad Sweet, told Politico of Nielsen.

Meadows and Jordan, both members of the Freedom Caucus and House Oversight Committee wrote in the letter, "During the 2016 election cycle, then-DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson briefed Members of Congress about attempted Russian interference. During the briefing - which also included President Obama's National Security Advisor Lisa Monaco and then-FBI Director James Comey - the Obama Administration assured Members that it was adequately addressing any attempted interference in the election."

Mitch McConnell Fails to Prevent Revolt Against Trump's National Emergency Declaration
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has broken a reported promise to President Donald Trump, admitting Monday that he failed to prevent Republican Senators from passing a resolution blocking a national emergency declaration on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Speaking at an event Louisville, McConnell said that while the resolution will pass in the Senate, it is highly likely the House will vote to uphold the president's veto. "What is clear in the Senate is that there will be enough votes to pass the resolution of disapproval, which will then be vetoed by the president and then in all likelihood the veto will be upheld in the House," he said.
The admission comes after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) announced Sunday that he joined three of his fellow Republican senators to vote with 47 Senate Democrats in backing an anti-declaration resolution which passed the House. "I can't vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn't been appropriated by Congress. We may want more money for border security, but Congress didn't authorize it. If we take away those checks and balances, it's a dangerous thing," Paul said, the Bowling Green Daily News reported.
In addition to Paul, Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Susan Collins (R-ME) will also support the measure, while Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Cory Gardner (R-CO), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) have not made their position on resolution public.
Later this month, the Senate will vote on the resolution to prevent President Trump from reallocating, without Congress, billions of dollars to fund the construction of a Southern border wall. In February, President Trump announced that he would declare an emergency to build the wall after Congress passed legislation providing $1.3 billion for barriers. He plans to divert $3.6 billion from military construction of the wall and transfer another $3.1 billion towards the construction. As the New York Times reported, McConnell promised the president to support the declaration, signaling that he would quell any opposition to the measure.
[A]fter a particularly unpleasant meeting with the secretary of homeland security, Kirstjen Nielsen, the president was threatening to torpedo the deal, according to two people briefed on the exchange. Several hours and several phone calls later, McConnell had persuaded Mr. Trump to once again agree to sign the bill to avert another government shutdown looming at midnight Friday.
But persuasion came at a price: The president would declare a national emergency to try to secure wall funding without congressional approval, he told the majority leader - and Mr. McConnell would have to back him.
Later in his remarks Monday, the Senate Majority Leader said attempted to talk the president out of issuing a declaration, saying that it may set a precedent of abuse by future Democrat administration seeking to prosecute their progressive agenda without Congress. "That's one reason I argued without success that he not take this route," McConnell said.
"I was one of those hoping the president would not take the national emergency route," added the Kentucky Republican. "Once he decided to do that I said I would support it, but I was hoping he wouldn't take that particular path."

U.S., Central America launch plan to crack down on people smugglers
SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - The United States and three Central American nations on Wednesday announced an effort to combat trafficking of people to the U.S.-Mexico border, days after U.S. President Donald Trump declared a national emergency, citing large-scale unlawful immigration.
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen called immigration from the region a "humanitarian crisis" and said the regional security plan with El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras would secure the border and improve conditions in the countries.
The total number of people apprehended crossing illegally into the United States from the southwestern border is sharply down from a decade ago, but more families from Central America, citing poverty and violence, are making the journey, many seeking asylum.
Trump last week declared the situation at the border a "national emergency" to free up billions of dollars to fund a border wall, a decision that has been challenged in a lawsuit by 16 U.S. states and another by the American Civil Liberties Union.
In a statement, El Salvador's government said the new initiative was aimed at attacking the finances, logistics and communication platforms of people-trafficking networks.

Brock Long, Who Oversaw Trump Administration's Response to Hurricane Maria, Resigns as FEMA Chief
Ledyard King, USA TODAY Published 1:39 p.m. MT Feb. 13, 2019 | Updated 2:30 p.m. MT Feb. 13, 2019
WASHINGTON - FEMA Administrator Brock Long, who drew praise and criticism for his agency's response to major disasters, including Hurricane Maria, is leaving the agency.
"Over the last two years, Administrator Long has admirably led the men and women of FEMA during very difficult, historic and complex times," Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said about his resignation, which was announced Wednesday.
Deputy Administrator Pete Gaynor will become acting administrator.
Long, 43, has helmed the agency through several major disasters, including Western wildfires last year and the destruction of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria in 2017.

eter Gaynor is named deputy administrator, pending Senate OK
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Peter Gaynor, director of the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency, could be headed for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, pending his confirmation in the U.S. Senate.
Gaynor was tapped by President Donald Trump for the job of deputy administrator, serving under FEMA administrator Brock Long who says that Gaynor "has a wealth of experience in emergency management and the agency looks forward to the Rhode Islander's "speedy confirmation."
FEMA is part of the Department of Homeland Security.
In January, Gaynor answered questions that The Providence Journal asked about the state's level of preparedness for nuclear attack by a rogue North Korean missile.
Soon after, Gaynor testified before a House Homeland Security subcommittee held in reaction to a false missile alert in Hawaii in January.
Gaynor previously served as the director of the Providence Emergency Management Agency.
He also spent more than two decades in the Marine Corps as an enlisted marine and infantry officer.
At one point, he was the executive officer responsible for the security of Camp David. He held the title of heading up plans, policy and operations during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Gaynor has a bachelor's degree in history from Rhode Island College and a master's degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College in Newport.

Mitch McConnell Told Trump No 'Land Mines' in Spending Bill, a 'Win' over Pelosi
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reportedly gave President Donald Trump false information about legislation to prevent a second partial government shutdown, claiming the bill possesses no "hidden provisions" or "landmines."
The Kentucky Republican also is said to have told the president that signing the bill into law would be a "win" over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who has long opposed any funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall, having called the proposal "immoral."
The New York Times reports:
A balky president was concerned that signing the measure could impose restraints on his ability to tap other funds and was urged by his chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, to tell Republican leaders to instead pass a short-term bill to keep the government open while reopening negotiations, according to a Republican briefed on the situation.
Such a move would have unraveled the delicate bipartisan balance favored by Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, who wanted to move beyond the wall fight. In a telephone conversation on Thursday, Mr. Trump asked Mr. McConnell whether the spending measure included any hidden provisions or "land mines," and the senator reassured him it did not, according to a person familiar with the call.
Similarly, Kirstjen Nielsen, the homeland security secretary, and White House lawyers told him that he could still move money around, and Ms. Nielsen said that the spending package was actually better than a short-term measure. Mr. McConnell argued that it was a win over Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Money in the bill for border barriers, about $1.4 billion, is far below the $5.7 billion President Trump insisted he needed and would finance just a quarter of the 200-plus miles he wanted. The White House said he would sign the legislation but act unilaterally to get more, prompting condemnations from Democrats and threats of lawsuits from states and others who might lose federal money or said the president was abusing his authority.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed in a statement that the president will sign the funding bill and take executive action to build the wall. "President Trump will sign the government funding bill, and as he has stated before, he will also take other executive action - including a national emergency - to ensure we stop the national security and humanitarian crisis at the border. The President is once again delivering on his promise to build the wall, protect the border, and secure our great country," Sanders said.

Nielsen bypasses environmental rules, orders border wall construction in San Diego
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/Nielsen-bypasses-environmental-rules-orders-border-wall-construction-in-san-diego
The Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has given U.S. Customs and Border Protection permission to ignore environmental and land regulations to expedite construction of a secondary barrier, or wall, that runs parallel to the primary one between Tijuana and San Diego.
The secondary wall is meant to run for 12 miles and is expected to be 18 feet tall, a sector spokesman told the Washington Examiner during a visit to the region last year.
The Army Corps of Engineers awarded the project in December.
The San Diego Sector is unique as a southwest border sector in that it has had a double wall for two decades, but it has still seen active smuggling efforts and increased illegal immigration in recent years. Despite the double wall, people were easily getting over or through both of them, prompting the sector to step up its infrastructure.
In fiscal year 2018, the Border Patrol's San Diego Sector, one of nine on the southern border, arrested 38,000 people. In the first four months of 2019, the region has hit nearly half the total number apprehended last year.
"Tactical infrastructure, when combined with the appropriate technology and personnel, significantly reduces the amount of illegal border entries and enhances the Border Patrol's ability to secure the border," DHS said in a statement.
The "primary" wall, or that which is closest to Mexico, stretches 14 miles from Imperial Beach on the Pacific Ocean past the Otay Mesa port of entry and into the mountains, where it is difficult to travel on foot or vehicle.
The main wall was installed in 1991. It consists of thousands of 8- to 10-foot-tall corrugated steel "landing mats." The mats were surplus material from the Vietnam War that had been meant to serve as helicopter landing pads in rice paddies.
In the early 1990s, agents were making more apprehensions of illegal entrants in their 60-mile stretch of the border than all apprehensions seen across the border last year. Prior to 1991, barbed wire fencing was all there was to stop people from entering the country outside of a port, and it wasn't installed continuously across the border. In 1997, San Diego began installing a secondary wall.
In 2016, San Diego learned it would receive federal funding to replace the landing mats with bollard fencing, which consists of vertical steel posts that have been planted in the ground.
President Trump campaigned in 2016 to build a "beautiful" wall between the U.S. and Mexico. When he took office in January 2017, the barrier between both countries' 1,954-mile border covered approximately one-third of that space.
Last April, CBP announced several projects that would replace and build new barriers on 100 miles.
Friday's decision to skirt environmental review processes is the third since the fall. Late last year, Nielsen waived regulations for border projects in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
Nielsen stated in the Federal Register memo that she had the authority to make the exceptions under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which states a chief can waive all legal requirements if a wall, road, or other infrastructure is immediately needed.

Feds: No evidence foreign meddling had 'material impact' on 2018 midterm elections
The U.S. government could find no evidence that foreign interference had a "material impact" on the 2018 midterm election infrastructure, according to a classified report compiled by the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security. DOJ and DHS released a statement Tuesday summarizing the report, which was delivered to President Donald Trump Monday. The report included information provided by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
"The departments have concluded there is no evidence to date that any identified activities of a foreign government or foreign agent had a material impact on the integrity or security of election infrastructure," the statement said.
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said federal officials worked with state, local, and private sector partners, including all 50 states and more than 1,400 local jurisdictions to commission the report. Late last year, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats issued a similar report saying the intelligence community found no evidence that foreign meddling affected the 2018 election infrastructure. Coats warned, however, that "Russia, and other foreign countries, including China and Iran, conducted influence activities and messaging campaigns targeted at the United States to promote their strategic interests."

Chairman Thompson to Secretary Nielsen: Your Refusal to Testify on Border Security Is Unacceptable
The Secretary outrageously attempts to use the President's shutdown as an excuse not to come before Congress
Jan 29, 2019
Correspondence
(WASHINGTON) - Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, sent the below letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, calling on her to reconsider her refusal to testify before the Committee next week:
Dear Secretary Nielsen:
Your decision to refuse my invitation to testify before the Committee on Homeland Security regarding our Nation's border security on February 6, 2019, is unreasonable and unacceptable. I strongly urge you to reconsider.
Your attempt to use the President's recent shutdown as an excuse not to testify before Congress prior to the impending shutdown is outrageous. As Secretary of Homeland Security, you should be prepared to testify on border security, the very issue that caused the recent shutdown, at any time and certainly prior to the potential February 15 lapse in appropriations.
During the shutdown, you made numerous public appearances and comments regarding border security. You should be well prepared to inform the public about the Department of Homeland Security's border security needs as well as provide Congress with accurate information that can inform any pending border security legislation.
The recent Federal government shutdown jeopardized homeland security, cost our economy $11 billion, and caused incalculable harm to the country. The Nation is just days away from President Trump again shutting down the government. Your failure to engage Congress only makes averting another shutdown more difficult.
The men and women of the Department of Homeland Security continue to carry out their duties admirably despite difficult and uncertain circumstances. I am hopeful you will follow their lead and agree to testify before the Committee on Homeland Security on February 6. In your public comments on border security, you maintained that Congress should "get [its] job done." Please know that as Chairman, I intend to ensure the Committee fulfills its oversight responsibilities on this important matter.
Sincerely,
BENNIE G. THOMPSON
Chairman

Rep. Andy Biggs: Democrats rigged the House rules to undermine GOP victories
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and the Democrats have proposed rules of the House of Representatives that will emasculate the Republican wins over the past two years. The agenda of the new Democrat committee leaders will result in further divisiveness in Congress and the nation. Consequently, political discourse will continue to devolve and individual freedom will be attacked. Democratic leaders are using the rules package to lay the ground work for higher taxes, frivolous investigations, and prevention of advancing funds for a border wall and defense spending. They have prepared to defend any changes in Obamacare. Democrats will foist crazy climate change policies on the public - just as we are seeing rejection of those ideas by people around the globe. They will also automatically increase our national debt without the transparency of debate and voting by Congress. They propose a prohibition against advance appropriations that will prevent funding being allocated for future border wall costs. This will also be a problem as our military budgets have to plan their spending for several years ahead. This is irresponsible and dangerous, in both instances, to our national security.
Democrats specifically include in the rules a provision that expands authority to investigate the office of the president of the United States. At some point they might want to consider the separation of powers doctrine. Measures that have been designed to prevent Congress from raising taxes are being tossed aside. Pelosi makes sure she has standing to intervene in litigation concerning Obamacare - specifically listing the recent Texas case that found Obamacare unconstitutional.
Throw in the creation of a "climate crisis" committee that gives Democrats a new vehicle to promote the types of radical policies that will cripple our economy without improvement of the environment. For many years, Congress has been required to debate and vote on a separate bill if it wants to increase our national debt. While this has not been an effective check on government spending, it at least provided notice to the public and required some measure of accountability on the part of Congress. The Democrats will change this practice to one that automatically "deems" approval of our national debt simply by approving a spending bill. Whoops. That is designed to keep the public in the dark on our out-of-control budget deficits and national debt.
Not only will Democrats use the rules of the body to advance a radically left-wing agenda, they have plans to abuse the committee system as they gain the leadership of all of the House's committees. That means Pelosi's return as House speaker will bring about committee heads Reps. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.; Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y.; Elijah Cummings, D-Md.; and others. Committee leaders control, with help from the speaker, the bills and agenda for the House. They will provide direction for the country. For instance, Cummings is the incoming chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The week before Christmas he sent more than 50 letters to the president's associates as part of his soon-to-commence investigation of the administration.
Other House Democrat leaders have also said that they want to impeach the president, investigate his family and everyone closely associated with him, and bring down this administration. Look for vitriol in committee hearings like we saw in December - when Democrats personally attacked Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen in a Judiciary Committee hearing. They were led by soon-to-be Judiciary Chairman Nadler. It was a foretaste of what is to come. Elections have consequences - and in this instance, the negative effects could impact the country for generations.

Thousands of Suspected Terrorists Try to Enter America Each Year
The porous southwest border-where Border Patrol says it catches just 35 to 40 percent of illegal crossers-poses a major security threat
WASHINGTON-Every day, an average of 10 known or suspected terrorists are prevented from entering the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). These are individuals flagged on a U.S. terror watch list; most are encountered at airports or even while still overseas as they apply for a visa.
On top of that, 3,000 "special-interest" aliens were apprehended at the southwest border last year, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on Jan. 4.
Special-interest aliens (SIAs) are labeled as such for their travel patterns and behavior. They hail from dozens of countries in the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa, where terrorist groups operate.
"This does not mean that all SIAs are 'terrorists,' but rather that the travel and behavior of such individuals indicates a possible nexus to nefarious activity (including terrorism) and, at a minimum, provides indicators that necessitate heightened screening and further investigation," DHS said in a statement on Jan. 7.

Pence: Nancy Pelosi a 'No' on Border Security Even if Trump Opens Government
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused Wednesday to negotiate border security, even if President Donald Trump reopens the government quickly, Vice President Mike Pence recounted following the meeting.
Pence detailed a moment during Wednesday's White House shutdown meeting with Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. President Donald Trump asked Speaker Pelosi if she would negotiate border security and wall funding if he opened up the government quickly. "The Speaker of the House said 'no,'" Pence recounted. He believed at that point the president "thought there was no longer any reason to be talking at this meeting."
President Trump walked out of the meeting, announcing on Twitter, "Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time."
Pence said talk with leaders continued afterward.
The vice president said the offer put in front of Democrats during Wednesday's meeting included not only President Donald Trump's priorities for securing the southern border and addressing the crisis there, but also the priorities of Democrats.
Pence pointed to the 60,000 individuals being apprehended coming across the border every month, two thirds of which are families and unaccompanied minors. "It's not a situation that our Border Patrol system was ever designed to deal with," he said calling for reforms and a wall.
The vice president said it should be distressing to tens of millions of Americans and hundreds of thousands of federal workers that Democrats' only answer is "we will not negotiate."
"The president said, if I open up the government now would you then negotiate border security and the Speaker said 'no.'"
Pence directed Americans to call their Congress member and Senator on the issue of securing the southern border and dealing with the humanitarian crisis there.
"Congress should just do their job," Pence said with marked emphasis.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen also offered details of the meeting.
"I think the president was very calm in trying to continue to put different options on the table to solve this serious crisis at our border," Scalise told reporters outside the White House. "Last night [the president] laid out some of the problems and challenges we're facing as a country and how we can get a solution."
"Today what he did was start to offer some more ideas," Scalise recounted. He said their teams worked over the weekend, "but at some point the other side has to put a counter offer on the table. 'No' is not a valid answer if you're serious about solving this problem."
Experts tasked with securing the nation have put the cost of moving toward securing the border at $5.7 billion, a number Scalise referenced. He then rebuked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for jokingly offering just one dollar to address the problem of border security. He said her reaction and refusal to propose a counteroffer is not fair to those Americans missing a paycheck under the shutdown.
Scalise strongly stated that no one slammed a hand on the table as had been reported.
"On the behalf of the Department of Homeland Security I'm just thoroughly disappointed," said Secretary Nielsen. "This is a crisis. It is a humanitarian crisis. It is a security crisis and the reality is that walls work." She said everywhere they've put up walls it has worked to reduce illegal immigration by 90-95 percent.
"Do you want to stop the smuggling between ports of entry? You need a wall. Do you want to stop the human misery that's pulled between the walls? You need a wall," said Nielsen. "It's not an or, it's an and," she said referring to the need and plan for securing the border both at ports of entry and between them.

Trump commits to steel wall in shutdown negotiations, as Pence wraps up second meeting
After President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence wrapped up separate meetings on border security and the ongoing partial federal government shutdown on Sunday, Trump offered his strongest endorsement yet of a proposal to build a steel wall, rather than a concrete barrier, at the southern border.
The president framed the pitch as a concession to Democrats to move negotiations along, as the shutdown entered its 16th day. Meanwhile, Democrats published the full text of several bills on Sunday that the White House and Senate Republicans have long said have no chance of becoming law because they do not include any funding for a wall of any kind.
"They don't like concrete, so we'll give them steel," Trump told reporters after returning to the White House from a meeting with his advisers at Camp David.
At a separate sit-down at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the White House, Pence – along with Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen – on Sunday discussed a variety of border-security measures with congressional officials from both parties.
"Democrats were given what they asked for, which was a detailed, breakdown list of the administration's proposals for border security that include the wall and other border protection measures," a House GOP leadership aide told Fox News. "Democrats were given the opportunity to ask questions of Secretary Nielsen and hear DHS' justification for the specific funding requests. Their justifications made it abundantly clear why it is necessary to have this level of funding to effectively secure our border."
Trump's steel wall proposal was the continuation of a White House strategy that has developed in the past several weeks. Trump first floated the idea of using "artistically designed steel slats" for the wall, rather than concrete, in December.
He then suggested taking the concrete wall off the table at a Rose Garden news conference on Friday, as a concession to Democrats. And, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said in an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" on Sunday that Trump "was willing to agree … to take a concrete wall off the table" in order to secure a deal to end the ongoing shutdown.
"We've been in touch with a lot of people, and I informed my folks to say that we'll build a steel barrier — steel – that it will be made out of steel, that it will be less obtrusive and stronger," Trump said.
Some ex-White House officials have suggested Trump abandoned the idea of a concrete wall in the early days of his tenure. In an explosive interview published shortly before his departure from the Trump administration at the end of last year, former chief of staff John Kelly told the Los Angeles Times that the White House had "left a solid concrete wall early on in the administration, when we asked people what they needed and where they needed it."
For his part, Pence tweeted only that he was "back at the White House" Sunday afternoon.
While Pence noted that the president was "committed to securing the border, building the wall, & working to reopen our government," he pointedly did not call the meeting "productive," as he did after a similar get-together with congressional staff on Saturday.
Earlier Sunday, speaking to reporters before he headed out to Camp David to discuss border security with top advisers, Trump had predicted that the Pence-run meeting would not lead to any major developments.
"I don't expect to have anything to happen at that meeting," Trump said.
Previous meetings between Democrats and White House officials have been heated: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Nielsen, the DHS secretary, reportedly got into a tense confrontation on Wednesday in the Situation Room, with the California Democrat interrupting Nielsen's presentation on border security and illegal immigration, telling her, "I reject your facts."
The president additionally said he was "totally involved" in shutdown negotiations and claimed to have "tremendous support within the Republican Party."
The longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history lasted 21 days, and Trump has said repeatedly that current one may last more than a year if Democrats are not willing to fund some of the wall.

Q Research General #5907: "PANIC IN DC" Edition
Ann Coulter: Trump acting as if he wants to be impeached
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter isn't a fan of President Trump's team for negotiating an end to the partial government shutdown.
Comprised of Vice President Mike Pence, White House adviser and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, Coulter tweeted this group is a recipe for Trump to end up "impeached."
Coulter's tweet Sunday came hours before the trio returned to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C., to continue negotiations with Democratic aides. Meanwhile Trump is at Camp David in Maryland, meeting with top staff about the border.
The partial government shutdown is the result of Trump demanding $5.6 billion in funding for a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border; Democrats, once again control of the House, are not willing to give more than $1.3 billion in annual border funding.
Coulter has been one of the staunchest supporters of Trump's border wall pledge, which stems back to the 2016 campaign. But that support is double-edged, as the commentator often criticizes the president for not yet fulfilling his stated goal.
In a recent radio interview on "Mark Simone Show" on 710 WOR in New York, Coulter predicted Trump will "fold in the end" on a spending deal. That came after she told a Daily Caller podcast that without a wall, Trump's time in office will "just have been a joke presidency who scammed the American people, amused the populist for a while, but he'll have no legacy whatsoever."
Trump has brushed off talk of impeachment in recent days, stirred up again by freshman Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, arguing that, "You can't impeach somebody that's doing a great job."
The prospect of giving up on his wall has led to some dire warning by key allies. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News last week that doing so would be the "end of his presidency" as he neglects the desires of his base, who have a voice in conservative commentators including Coulter, Fox News host Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh.
But acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney denied that Trump can be swayed by the politicos of the Right. "I've seen that – I would make the argument that the president has probably more sway over Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter than vice versa," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

Q Research General #5903: The Start of Camp David Edition
Each side accusing other of giving no ground on shutdown
A first round of talks between White House officials and congressional aides has made little progress toward ending the government shutdown, with each side accusing the other of giving no ground.
More discussions were planned for Sunday, while President Trump, who did not attend the negotiating session, was scheduled to be at Camp David for a retreat with White House staff on border security and other topics.
With the talks stalled, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said House Democrats intend to start passing individual bills to reopen agencies. The first would be the Treasury Department, to ensure people receive their tax refunds.
"Not much headway made today," Trump tweeted on Saturday after receiving a briefing from the team led by Vice President Mike Pence.
Democrats said the White House did not budge on the president's key demand, $5.6 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The White House said money was not discussed in depth, but the administration was clear about the need for a wall and the goal of resolving the shutdown all at once, not piecemeal.
Acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he believes Democrats "think they're winning the PR battle and they're willing to drag this out because they think it hurts the president." Democrats familiar with the meeting said the White House position was "untenable."
A White House official said the meeting included a briefing on border security by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Democrats sought written details from the Department of Homeland Security on their budget needs; the White House said it would provide that.
Mulvaney said Trump was willing to forgo a concrete wall for steel or other materials.
"If he has to give up a concrete wall, replace it with a steel fence in order to do that so that Democrats can say, 'See? He's not building a wall anymore,' that should help us move in the right direction," Mulvaney told NBC.
The president has suggested his definition of the wall is flexible, referring to slats and other "border things." Democrats have made clear they see a wall as immoral and ineffective and prefer other types of border security funded at already agreed upon levels.
Trump had campaigned on the promise that Mexico would pay for the wall. Mexico has refused. He's now demanding the money from Congress.

Democrats Refused To Listen To Border Security Briefing, So Trump Sent It To All Members Of Congress
Congressional Democrats refused to listen to his border security brief Wednesday, so President Donald Trump sent the slides of the entire presentation in a Friday letter to every member of Congress as well as reporters.
"It had been my hope that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen would have the opportunity to deliver a presentation discussing the facts about the depth and severity of the humanitarian crisis and the security crisis that is now unfolding at the Southern Border," Trump wrote in the letter, adding "however, some of those present did not want to hear the presentation at the time, and so I have instead decided to make the presentation available to all Members of Congress."
A White House official familiar with the meeting conveyed this account of the meeting to The Daily Caller Wednesday afternoon noting that neither Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer would even allow Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to begin her briefing. The meeting instead devolved into negotiations over how to end the partial government shutdown, in a fight centering around border wall funding.

22K Minors 'Illegally Crossed' Border in December, Says DHS
As the humanitarian crisis continues along the U.S-Mexico Border, officials with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) say that 22,000 minors "illegally crossed the border" in December. Nearly 25 percent of those were unaccompanied.
"Vulnerable populations are embarking on the dangerous journey north in record numbers putting themselves and minors in harm's way, last month 22,000 minors illegally crossed our borders," DHS Spokeswoman Katie Waldman said in a written statement. Of those, approximately 5,000 cross the border without a parent or guardian as Unaccompanied Alien Children, she said.
During the first three months of Fiscal Year 2019, more than 15,000 children crossed the border without parents. It is not clear how many minors in total crossed the border during this period, but in the first two months of the new fiscal year, nearly 60,000 crossed as unaccompanied minors or family units, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's November Southwest Border Migration Report.
"The lack of a physical barrier coupled with major loopholes from badly written laws and a terrible ruling from the Ninth Circuit act a magnet for family units and unaccompanied alien children," Waldman said. "Congress must act to fund the border wall, amend the 2008 Trafficking Victims Protections Reauthorization Act, and terminate the Ninth Circuit's Flores Settlement Agreement to stop the cycle of illegal immigration."
The massive increase in minors crossing the border led to what is now being called a humanitarian crisis by U.S. officials. The increases in border crossings by families and minors have resulted in a "significant" number of referrals for medical treatment because of the stress of the journey, crowded conveyances, and the current flu season, government officials stated.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Kevin K. McAleenan said, "We are facing an unprecedented crisis on the southern border that is putting the most vulnerable populations at risk. 129 children under the age of five have been referred for emergency medical care in the last week. The care of those in CBP custody is paramount, and the United States Border Patrol is doing everything in its power to handle this crisis."
"The status quo is not acceptable," the commissioner said. "As [DHS Secretary Kirstjen] Nielsen has stated, the system is at the breaking point. Border Patrol stations built decades ago are not resourced to handle this crisis and are not the best facilities to house children with their parents for extended periods."
During the last week of the year, CBP referred 451 cases to medical providers, the agency reported. Of those, 129 were children under the age of five and 88 were between the ages of six and fourteen. The remaining 42 aged between 15 and 17, officials reported. These referrals resulted in at least 17 hospitalizations for illness.
Officials reported these numbers for the period beginning on December 22 and ending on December 30. They cautioned that these are "operations reporting" numbers and could change on a daily basis.

Democratic lawmakers brought a border security briefing at the White House to a screeching halt Wednesday, refusing to even listen to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, a White House official tells The Daily Caller.

Democrats 'Didn't Want to Hear' Border Security Briefing, Says Rep. McCarthy
President Donald Trump had top lawmakers at the White House for a security briefing on Jan. 2, where security officials were to explain their need for further border barriers.
But the Democrat attendees didn't want to listen and never actually got through the full briefing by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, said Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), House GOP leader, during a press gaggle after the briefing.
Once the secretary started, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) interrupted her, McCarthy said.
"They really didn't want to hear it and they challenged some the points the secretary made."
Schumer's office didn't respond to a request for comment.
Before the briefing, Trump told reporters that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol officials would make a plea for a border wall at the meeting, a part of his efforts to convince Democrats to give him funding for the long-promised project.
Shutdown
Trump has been saying since at least July he'd shut down the government if Congress wouldn't deliver the wall funding.
Lawmakers managed to pass funding bills for about three quarters of the government, but when it came to the last one, which included the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) along with border security, Democrats blocked the wall funding in the Senate, where Republicans lacked a sufficient majority.
GOP Senators eventually kicked the can down the road, passing a Democrat-backed bill to fund the DHS until Feb. 8 without the wall money.
But this option failed in the House, where Republicans passed a bill with some $5 billion for the wall instead, which was in turn refused by Senate Democrats.
As a result, on Dec. 22, about quarter of the government ran out of money.
Trump said he's willing to continue the shutdown until the wall money materializes, calling it "too important a subject to walk from."
Democrats, who gain control of the House on Jan. 3, plan to pass a bill that would fund everything except for the DHS and another bill that would fund the DHS through Feb. 8 without wall construction funds.
The option was called "a non-starter" by White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders in a statement late on Jan. 1.

'Open Borders' Advocates Are Pushing Immigration System to 'Breaking Point,' Says DHS
Following the death of a second migrant child in federal immigration custody in the past month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says systems for dealing with border security and migrants are being pushed to the "breaking point."
"Our system has been pushed to a breaking point by those who seek open borders," DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a written statement. "Smugglers, traffickers, and their own parents put these minors at risk by embarking on the dangerous and arduous journey north. This crisis is exacerbated by the increase in persons who are entering our custody suffering from severe respiratory illnesses or exhibit some other illness upon apprehension."
"Given the remote locations of their illegal crossing and the lack of resources," the secretary explained, "it is even more difficult for our personnel to be first responders."

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is requesting that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigate the cause of the growing number of sick migrants illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, officials revealed to reporters Wednesday morning.
A DHS official told reporters that "literally dozens" of sick migrants are being transported to hospitals across the border each day and that growing numbers of children showing illness are present in border patrol custody.
"We're doing dozens of hospital trips every single day with children that have fevers or manifest other medical conditions," CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan told CBSNews Wednesday morning.
An official also told reporters that DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is requesting that Mexican authorities also investigate the living conditions of migrant holding camps across the border to see if that is the source of illness.

An official also told reporters that DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is requesting that Mexican authorities also investigate the living conditions of migrant holding camps across the border to see if that is the source of illness. DHS officials revealed their concern during a phone call to discuss the plight of an 8-year-old Guatemalan child who died in border patrol custody Monday. The child's death came just days after DHS also announced the death of a 7-year-old girl who died in mid-December. The children's deaths have brought intense scrutiny on the holding conditions and procedures of DHS, which says they are simply overburdened by thousands of daily illegal border crossings. A DHS official noted that, prior to these two incidents, border patrol had not lost a child in custody in over a decade. This was remarkable, they claimed, given the hundreds of thousands who have passed through its cells in the interim period.

Democrat loses it over border wall, likens Trump to murderous King Herod, calls Homeland chief a liar-then walks out of hearing
"Thank God there wasn't a wall that stopped [Jesus] from seeking refuge in Egypt!"
Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez sure doesn't like the idea of a border wall.
The Illinois lawmaker in one blustery rant during a Thursday congressional hearing mocked Christians, likened President Donald Trump to King Herod of the New Testament - who massacred infants and toddlers in the hopes of killing Christ after his birth - and then called Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen a liar to her face.
'Maybe I haven't gone a lot to Bible school, but I know that part'
Gutierrez first mocked the Christian "majority" for wanting to focus on Christmas this time of year and noted that it's "repugnant to me and astonishing to me that during Christmas ... a time in which we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ … who had to flee for his life with Mary and Joseph, thank God there wasn't a wall that stopped him from seeking refuge in Egypt."
Making angry faces and wagging his finger as his voice grew sharper, Gutierrez added, "Thank God there wasn't an administration like this or he would have too … perished when Herod ordered the murder of every child under two years of age. Maybe I haven't gone a lot to Bible school, but I know that part." He pounded his finger a few times for good measure.
'Shame on us for wearing our badge of Christianity during Christmas'
"Shame on everybody that separates children and allows them to stay on the other side of the border fearing death, fearing sickness," Gutierrez concluded. "Shame on us for wearing our badge of Christianity during Christmas, and allowing the secretary to come here and lie."
'Calling me a liar are fighting words'
But Nielsen wasn't having any of it.
"Calling me a liar are fighting words; I'm not a liar," Nielsen shot back. "We've never had a policy for family separation. I'm happy to walk the gentleman through it again."
And as the secretary continued, Gutierrez rose from his chair and walked out the hearing.

DHS to Return Illegal Aliens to Mexico in Effort to End 'Catch and Release'
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will return illegal border crossers arriving from Mexico on the southern border to Mexico while they await their U.S. immigration hearings in an effort to end "Catch and Release."
In an announcement Thursday, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said her agency would immediately invoke Section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. That will allow federal immigration officials to return illegal border crossers arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border back to Mexico while they await their immigration hearings in the U.S.
"Aliens trying to game the system to get into our country illegally will no longer be able to disappear into the United States, where many skip their court dates," Nielsen said. "Instead, they will wait for an immigration court decision while they are in Mexico. 'Catch and release' will be replaced with 'catch and return.' In doing so, we will reduce illegal migration by removing one of the key incentives that encourages people from taking the dangerous journey to the United States in the first place."
The new policy means that illegal aliens at the southern border claiming asylum will be processed by DHS and given a "Notice to Appear" for their immigration hearing. After, they will be returned to Mexico, which DHS officials say has agreed to provide border crossers with "humanitarian visas, work authorization, and other protections" as they await their hearings.
In the process, border crossers will have access to attorneys and to the U.S. only for their hearings. Only until an immigration judge clears border crossers of having credible asylum cases will they be allowed into the U.S.
For months, immigration experts requested DHS to implement the policy change which seeks to end the practice of border crossers being released into the interior of the U.S. where the vast majority never arrive in immigration court hearings and instead live throughout the country as illegal aliens.
As early as April, immigration experts like Jessica Vaughan told Breitbart News that DHS should implement such a policy in order to stop mass illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"We can also tell people that they can apply for asylum in our consulate in Tijuana," Vaughan said in April. "We have a branch of the U.S. embassy there and they could wait there while their claim is adjudicated. We can take a couple of weeks to hear their case from our consulate in Tijuana, or Mexico City or anywhere else in the country of Mexico; save them a long journey."

Trump to attend World Economic Forum in Davos for second straight year
President Trump will travel to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next month, the White House said Tuesday, making it the second consecutive year Trump will attend the event.
Trump and roughly a dozen other White House officials will head to Switzerland for the conference, which will bring together powerful political and business leaders from Jan. 22-25.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will lead the U.S. delegation, which will also include Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Small Business Administrator Linda McMahon and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.
White House advisers Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and Chris Liddell will also attend.
Trump attended the forum last year, becoming just the second sitting U.S. president to do so. The U.S. does typically send a delegation of high-ranking officials.
The White House last year pushed back against criticism that the forum is a gathering for wealthy elites, arguing that it was an opportunity to tout American economic policies.

DHS tells migrants to go home after extortion attempt
The Department of Homeland Security has no intention of paying $50,000 to each of the 6,000 migrants who traveled in caravans from Central America to Tijuana, a spokeswoman said Wednesday afternoon.
"Secretary [Kirstjen] Nielsen has made clear that being a member of a caravan does not give them special rights for entry into this country and now it looks like some of these migrants understand that the Trump administration's commitment to enforcing the rule of law, and their own likely lack of a legitimate claim of asylum, means they should return home," DHS spokeswoman Katie Waldman said in a statement.

9th Circuit issues stunning ruling on Trump's ban on asylum
The 9th Circuit Appeals court ruled on a motion from the Trump administration to delay a judge's order to block enforcement of the policy the president announced in an attempt to dissuade caravan migrants from heading to the U.S. border.
The court rules against the Trump administration, meaning the temporary restraining order would remain in effect on the asylum policy.
The ACLU applauded the decision from its social media account Friday.
"The Ninth Circuit denied the Trump administration's request to reinstate its asylum ban in our lawsuit," the ACLU tweeted.
"The decision to keep the ban blocked is consistent with the laws made by Congress and will save lives," they claimed.
Trump made a proclamation about the change in asylum policy on November 8, where he directly referred to the migrant caravans which were heading towards the U.S. border from Honduras and other Central American nations.
"No nation can allow itself to be overwhelmed by uncontrolled masses of people rushing their border," the president said.
"Too many meritless asylum claims"
A joint statement from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker explained the rationale behind the policy change.
"Our asylum system is overwhelmed with too many meritless asylum claims from aliens who place a tremendous burden on our resources," said the joint statement, "preventing us from being able to expeditiously grant asylum to those who truly deserve it."
"Today, we are using the authority granted to us by Congress to bar aliens who violate a Presidential suspension of entry or other restriction from asylum eligibility," they concluded.
The asylum ban was put on hold when Judge Jon Tigar of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California placed a temporary restraining order on the action.
"Whatever the scope of the President's authority," ruled Judge Tigar, "he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden."
Most of the migrants in the various caravans that eventually arrived at the border have begun to turn back after an unsuccessful attempt to breach the border and gain illegal entry into the United States.
Some migrants blamed misinformation they had believed about the ease of entry into the United States.

Under Obama Admin, Border Patrol Used Pepper Spray or Tear Gas More than 500 Times
….It turns out that the Obama Administration also used tear gas and pepper spray at the border, over 500 times from 2012-2016. However, liberals remained silent during that time.
According to numbers given to the Daily Caller by the Department of Homeland Security, tear gas was used by border agents 79 times between 2012 and 2016. Meanwhile, pepper spray was used 434 times between 2012 and 2016.
Both President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen defended Border Patrol's use of tear gas.
"They were being rushed by some very tough people and they used tear gas," said the President on Monday. "Here's the bottom line: Nobody is coming into our country unless they come in legally."….

MS-13 Gang Member Traveling With Migrant Caravan Arrested in California
A member of the notorious transnational gang, MS-13, was arrested over the weekend in California after traveling north with the migrant caravan and illegally entering the country, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said on Nov. 28.
Border Patrol agents encountered the man just east of the Calexico Port of Entry and suspect him of entering the United States illegally.
The man, later identified as 29-year-old Jose Villalobos-Jobel, admitted to being a Honduran citizen and active gang member with MS-13, short for Mara Salvatrucha 13.
Villalobos-Jobel told agents he traveled from Honduras to the southern U.S. border with the migrant caravan. A group from the caravan rushed the border on Sunday, forcing American officers to fire tear gas to disperse the mob.
An estimated 8,500 migrants have crowded into Tijuana, just south of the border, as President Donald Trump works to prevent them from entering the United States.
Trump has noted that the migrants already rejected an asylum offer from Mexico and that confirmed criminals and gang members are among them.
Department of Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on Nov. 27 that the caravan members are "predominately male" and that 90 percent aren't eligible for asylum. She said that the department has confirmed there are over 600 convicted criminals traveling with the main caravan, including people known for rape, drug crimes, and child abuse.
Hundreds of migrants involved in the border rush were identified and will be deported, Mexico said on Monday.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that the confirmed MS-13 member will also be deported.
"How many more gang members & criminals are among caravan members? Without interdiction there is no way to know," the agency said on Twitter.

Q Research General #5170: Give It A Rest Barry Edition
The nation has its eyes on the growing caravan crisis in Tijuana, Mexico along the San Diego southern border, but Border Patrol agents and ICE officers warn that tens of thousands of migrants have been apprehended along the other Border Patrol sectors over the past several months and thousands more may have evaded law enforcement to enter the United States illegally.
Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley have seen a surge over the past several months, roughly 5,000 migrants a week have been apprehended along the sectors more than 320 mile border, said Chris Cabrera, Vice President of the Union's local 3307 Rio Grande Vally Sector. The Rio Grande Valley sector, which is comprised of roughly 19 counties within 17,000 square miles of land is one of the most trafficked corridors along the U.S. Mexico border. Cabrera also noted that 2,700 people were being held last week at the McAllen station, which is made to hold roughly 242 people. Cabrera said issues regarding the medical condition of the migrants, as well as other security issues, have created an overwhelming situation for law enforcement and the community.
There is a definite concern with the ongoing incidents across the southwest border in regards to the caravan," said Cabrera. Illegal entries have increased at most sectors along the southwest. In the Rio Grande Valley we have seen as many as 5,000 plus per week since the beginning of the fiscal year."
Cabrera says the caravan has spread out across the border from Texas to California and tells SaraACarter.com that immigration loopholes have been exploited since 2014.
"The loopholes need to be closed, and those violating our laws need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. What we are seeing in California, Texas and points in between is unacceptable," he said.
The migrants also face daunting circumstances. The terrain along can be extremely dangerous for migrants who misjudge the strength of the river currents as they cross the Rio Grande River into the U.S. and many have died trying to make the trek that is almost always organized by human smugglers and drug cartels operating in the area.
Cabrera, along with other federal law enforcement officials, say their agents are under assault by some of the migrants in the caravan and many of the women and children who are crossing have had to deal with dangerous and often terrible treatment by the cartels.
The Trump administration and law enforcement were criticized this past week for using tear gas on members of the caravan when roughly 1000 of them tried to rush the San Ysidro Port of Entry from Tijuana and pelted rocks at Border Patrol agents. U.S. law enforcement took 42 illegal immigrants into custody and the Mexican government said it had deported 98 migrants who rushed the border and assaulted officials.
Gerardo Garcia Benavente, from Mexico's migration office, said: "98 foreigners were returned to their country last night following the violent incident at the border post," according to a report from the BBC.
On Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, issued a lengthy statement on the circumstances that led to the use of tear gas and the growing crisis. She said the "caravan members are predominately male. It appears in some cases that the limited number of women and children in the caravan are being used by the organizers as 'human shields' when they confront law enforcement. They are being put at risk by the caravan organizers as we saw at the Mexico-Guatemala border. This is putting vulnerable people in harms way."
Nielsen also stressed that the U.S. cannot "confirm the backgrounds and identities of all caravan members which possess a national security and public safety risk to our country. However, at this point we have confirmed that there are over 600 convicted criminals traveling with the caravan flow. This includes individuals known to law enforcement for assault, battery, drug crimes, burglary, rape child abuse and more."
It's not just the Rio Grande Valley and Tijuana seeing increases in illegal immigrant traffic. Former Immigration and Custom's Enforcement Director Tom Homan, said the increase in human trafficking is across the board and as the migrants in the caravan face mounting pressure in Tijuana, a large number of them have broken off and headed to Mexicali.

Q Research General #5137: Whatever happened to Podesta Edition.
Trump Warns: 'We Will Close The Border Permanently'
Says To Mexico: Send Migrants Back 'Anyway You Want'
After chaos at the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday forced U.S. authorities to fire tear gas into a violent crowd of angry migrants seeking to enter the United States, President Trump on Monday warned that "we will close the Border permanently if need be."
The president also said that many of the so-called migrants now gathered at the U.S.-Mexico border are "stone cold criminals" and urged Mexico to send them back to their homes "anyway you want."

The president's tweet came after hundreds of migrants charged the U.S. border near San Diego, prompting U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials to fire tear gas. That conflict led U.S. officials to shut down the San Ysidro Port of Entry between San Diego and Tijuana for more than six hours. As many as 6,000 migrants are now camping out in Tijuana.
According to U.S. officials, the conflict was started by the migrants. San Diego Sector Border Control chief patrol agent Rodney Scott said on CNN that migrants approached border fences and "immediately started throwing rocks and debris at our agents, taunting our agents."
"And once our agents were assaulted and the numbers started growing - you know we had two or three agents at a time facing hundreds of people at a time - they deployed tear gas to protect themselves and protect the border," Scott said.
Chief of U.S. Border Patrol Carla Provost told Fox news that "our agents were being assaulted. A large group approached the area and they were throwing rocks and bottles at my men and women, putting them in harm's way as well as other members of the caravan."
"DHS will not tolerate this type of lawlessness and will not hesitate to shut down ports of entry for security and public safety reasons," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a Sunday statement.
Mexico is heeding Trump's warning. Top officials pledged to beef up security near the border and local authorities arrested 43 migrants in the melee on Sunday. Meanwhile, Mexico's Interior Ministry said it would immediately deport those who tried to "violently" enter the U.S. from Tijuana.
While many news outlets ran photos of women with small children fleeing tear gas and claimed that the migrants are simply seeking asylum from their war-torn countries, Scott said that's not what he saw.
"What I saw on the border yesterday was not people walking up to Border Patrol agents and asking to claim asylum,' he said. 'Matter of fact, one of the groups I watched, one of the groups that several of them were arrested, they passed 10 or 15 marked Border Patrol units … numerous uniformed personnel, as they were chanting, waving a Honduran flag, and throwing rocks at the agents," the San Diego border chief said.
If they were truly asylum seekers, they would have just walked up with their hands up and surrendered. And that did not take place," he said.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the star Democratic congresswoman-elect from New York, compared migrant caravan members who clashed over the weekend with U.S. border agents to Jewish families fleeing Nazi Germany and other targets of genocide.
Ocasio-Cortez, who was elected to represent New York's 14th Congressional District earlier this month, tweeted over the weekend in support of those attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. She compared those fleeing violence in Central America to those who escaped Germany, Rwanda and Syria.
"Asking to be considered a refugee & applying for status isn't a crime. It wasn't for Jewish families fleeing Germany. It wasn't for targeted families fleeing Rwanda. It wasn't for communities fleeing war-torn Syria. And it isn't for those fleeing violence in Central America," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted late Sunday.

Over the weekend, hundreds of migrants from the Central American caravan rushed the border at the port of entry in San Ysidro, Calif.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said some demonstrators "attempted to illegally enter the U.S. through both the northbound and southbound vehicle lanes at the port of entry itself. Those persons were stopped and turned back to Mexico."
U.S. border agents shot several rounds of tear gas after some migrants attempted to penetrate various points along the border and threw what appeared to be rocks at U.S. authorities.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement that some migrants "attempted to breach legacy fence infrastructure along the border and sought to harm CBP personnel by throwing projectiles at them.
"As I have continually stated, DHS will not tolerate this type of lawlessness and will not hesitate to shut down ports of entry for security and public safety reasons," Nielsen said. "We will also seek to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law anyone who destroys federal property, endangers our frontline operators, or violates our nation's sovereignty."
The Mexican Interior Ministry said Sunday afternoon it would immediately deport the migrants who tried to "violently" breach the border. The Mexican government described Sunday's events as "acts of provocation" that were "far from helpful" for the migrants' objectives.
President Trump told Mexico early Monday that migrants allegedly threatening to storm the U.S. would be sent "back to their countries."
"Mexico should move the flag waving Migrants, many of whom are stone cold criminals, back to their countries," Trump tweeted. "Do it by plane, do it by bus, do it anyway you want, but they are NOT coming into the U.S.A. We will close the Border permanently if need be. Congress, fund the WALL!" Trump tweeted Monday morning.
The Trump administration has said asylum claims from members of a series of caravans originating in Central America must be processed outside the U.S., and that all those entering illegally will be denied. A federal judge has at least temporarily ruled against the policy, but the administration has taken steps to harden the border.
As of Monday morning, about 50 migrants had been detained after illegally crossing the border. The exact number of those apprehended is expected to be made public later Monday, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told Fox News.
In Mexico, Tijuana's municipal government announced it arrested more than three-dozen migrants for disturbing the peace and other charges related to the crossing attempt.

Interesting stats from end of article:
Mexico's Interior Ministry said Sunday the country has sent 11,000 Central Americans back to their countries of origin since Oct. 19, when the first caravan entered the country. It said that 1,906 of those who have returned were members of the recent caravans. Mexico is on track to send a total of around 100,000 Central Americans back home by the end of this year.

US agents fire tear gas as some migrants try to breach fence
By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN
November 26, 2018
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) - U.S. border agents fired tear gas on hundreds of migrants protesting near the border with Mexico on Sunday after some of them attempted to get through the fencing and wire separating the two countries, and American authorities shut down border crossings from the city where thousands are waiting to apply for asylum.
The situation devolved after the group began a peaceful march to appeal for the U.S. to speed processing of asylum claims for Central American migrants marooned in Tijuana.
Mexican police had kept them from walking over a bridge leading to the Mexican port of entry, but the migrants pushed past officers to walk across the Tijuana River below the bridge. More police carrying plastic riot shields were on the other side, but migrants walked along the river to an area where only an earthen levee and concertina wire separated them from U.S. Border Patrol agents.
Some saw an opportunity to breach the crossing.
An Associated Press reporter saw U.S. agents shoot several rounds of tear gas after some migrants attempted to penetrate several points along the border. Mexico's Milenio TV showed images of migrants climbing over fences and peeling back metal sheeting to enter.
Honduran Ana Zuniga, 23, also said she saw migrants opening a small hole in concertina wire at a gap on the Mexican side of a levee, at which point U.S. agents fired tear gas at them.
Children screamed and coughed. Fumes were carried by the wind toward people who were hundreds of feet away.
"We ran, but when you run the gas asphyxiates you more," Zuniga told the AP while cradling her 3-year-old daughter Valery in her arms.
Mexico's Interior Ministry said around 500 migrants tried to "violently" enter the U.S.
The ministry said in a statement it would immediately deport those people and would reinforce security.
As the chaos unfolded, shoppers just yards away on the U.S. side streamed in and out of an outlet mall.
Throughout the day, U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopters flew overhead, while U.S. agents held vigil on foot beyond the wire fence in California. The Border Patrol office in San Diego said via Twitter that pedestrian crossings were suspended at the San Ysidro port of entry at both the East and West facilities. All northbound and southbound traffic was halted.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement that U.S. authorities will continue to have a "robust" presence along the Southwest border and that they will prosecute anyone who damages federal property or violates U.S. sovereignty.
"DHS will not tolerate this type of lawlessness and will not hesitate to shut down ports of entry for security and public safety reasons," she said.
More than 5,000 migrants have been camped in and around a sports complex in Tijuana after making their way through Mexico in recent weeks via caravan. Many hope to apply for asylum in the U.S., but agents at the San Ysidro entry point are processing fewer than 100 asylum petitions a day.
Irineo Mujica, who has accompanied the migrants for weeks as part of the aid group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, said the aim of Sunday's march toward the U.S. border was to make the migrants' plight more visible to the governments of Mexico and the U.S.
"We can't have all these people here," Mujica told The Associated Press.
Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum on Friday declared a humanitarian crisis in his border city of 1.6 million, which he says is struggling to accommodate the crush of migrants.
U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter Sunday to express his displeasure with the caravans in Mexico.
"Would be very SMART if Mexico would stop the Caravans long before they get to our Southern Border, or if originating countries would not let them form (it is a way they get certain people out of their country and dump in U.S. No longer)," he wrote.
Mexico's Interior Ministry said Sunday the country has sent 11,000 Central Americans back to their countries of origin since Oct. 19, when the first caravan entered the country. It said that 1,906 of those who have returned were members of the recent caravans.
Mexico is on track to send a total of around 100,000 Central Americans back home by the end of this year.

Trump Strikes Deal With Mexico To End "Catch And Release"
With border crossings skyrocketing to the highest levels of the Trump presidency (they hit 60,000 last month) and federal judges once again stymieing the president's plans to crack down on border crossings, the Trump Administration has quietly negotiated an agreement with Mexico that effectively circumvents US courts to implement one of Trump's biggest immigration-policy wins so far: A plan that will keep Central American applicants for asylum in the US on the Mexican side of the border while their claims are processed.
The Washington Post, which broke the news about the agreement Saturday afternoon (the news came as a complete surprise to many, as the Trump Administration and representatives of incoming Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador successfully negotiated it in secret), said that the new plan - tentatively titled "Remain in Mexico" - will end the practice of "catch and release": When asylum applicants are released into the US to await their hearings before an asylum judge. Under the new rules, after being screened at a US port of entry, asylum seekers would wait until their scheduled court appearance before an immigration judge. On the day of their hearing, they would be escorted to a US courthouse by US officers - but if their asylum isn't granted they would be released into Mexico to await a final decision or, if their application is denied, they would be deported by the US back to their country of origin.
Already, asylum officers and other immigration officials are heading to a border checkpoint in San Diego to start rolling out the policy before the widely publicized caravans of Central American immigrants that became one of the dominating issues of the pre-midterm election cycle continue to approach the border.
US officials said that freeing up the detention space would allow them to process claims more quickly. The ultimate hope by Mexico and the US is that the policy will encourage more migrants to remain in Mexico, where many jobs at factories and assembly plants remain unfilled (likely because wages are only a small fraction of what they are in the US).
U.S. officials describing the system on the condition of anonymity said they will be able to process at least twice as many asylum claims as they do now because they would not be limited by detention space constraints at U.S. ports of entry. The San Ysidro port of entry in the San Diego area accepts about 60 to 100 asylum claims per day.
Just over the border, nearly 5,000 Central Americans have arrived in Tijuana this month as part of caravan groups, and several thousand others are en route to the city, where a baseball field has been turned into a swelling tent camp. The city's mayor declared a "humanitarian crisis" Friday and said the city's taxpayers would not foot the bill for the migrants' care.
A group of business leaders in the city said they have thousands of job openings at the city's assembly plants, or maquiladoras, inviting Central American migrants to work in the factories. Though wages there are a small fraction of U.S. pay, Mexican officials said the work offer was one reason they believe the Remain in Mexico plan will succeed. Across the country, there are 100,000 jobs available to Central American asylum seekers, officials said.
The deal was finalized with the help of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, which earned her a rare morsel of praise from her boss, who has reportedly been trying to fire her due to her perceived weakness on immigration.
The deal took shape last week in Houston during a meeting between Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico's incoming foreign minister, and top U.S. officials such as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, according to U.S. and Mexican officials.
The deal is the clearest indication yet that Trump and AMLO are enjoying a more cordial relationship than many had expected. And while a court challenge to the plan could still materialize, US courts don't have jurisdiction in Mexico. With this in mind, it appears Trump has finally found a way to circumvent the "Obama judges" who have been the biggest obstacles to his immigration policy.

Mattis: We Can Protect Border Patrol With Lethal Force, But DHS Hasn't Made Request
Defense Secretary James Mattis explained the role nearly 5,800 troops deployed to the southern border will play after President Donald Trump expanded Mattis's authority to include the use of force, even lethal, in defense of the Border Patrol.
Mattis said that while he's authorized to use lethal force, that is not what the mission currently calls for and it's up to Kirstjen Nielsen, secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), to request it.
"There has been no call for any lethal force from DHS," he said during a Nov. 21 media availability.
Trump's chief of staff, John Kelly, issued a cabinet order on Nov. 20 which allows federal troops to "perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary" to protect border agents, including "a show or use of force (including lethal force, where necessary), crowd control, temporary detention. and cursory search," the Military Times reported.
The order was issued after multiple reports that some travelers in the Central American migrant caravans have been behaving violently, and that dangerous criminals are mixed into the group. Some of the travelers threw rocks and glass bottles and injured six Mexican police officers on the border with Guatemala last month, according to Beatriz Marroquin, the director of health for Guatemala's Retalhuleu region. Some of the migrants had guns while others had Molotov cocktails, Mexico's Interior Minister Alfonso Navarrete said at the time.
The travelers have expressed a willingness to enter the United States illegally.
Given the situation, Mattis said, "it is not an unreasonable concern on the part of the president that we may have to back up Border Patrol."
Based on the secretary's description, Border Patrol agents will continue to be responsible for law enforcement roles, but if necessary, the troops can step in and protect the agents with non-lethal force. Such an action would probably be undertaken by Military Police armed with shields and batons, not firearms, he said.
"They're not even carrying guns so, just relax," he told reporters.
Though there are some armed soldiers deployed at the border, that's just standard practice for protecting the troops, Mattis said.

"Let me be clear: this court from a chamber in San Francisco has replaced the president's judgment with regard to the fully delegated authority to determine what is a true national security threat to our nation's sovereignty," Nielsen said at a press conference at the southern U.S. border.
"We will follow all laws and judicial rulings, but we will also be appealing it as quickly as possible. I have no doubt we will be successful," Nielsen added, calling on Congress to pass laws that would close immigration "loopholes."

Trump considering changes in as many as five Cabinet positions
President Donald Trump said he is considering making changes in as many as five Cabinet positions during an interview with Fox News that aired Sunday. Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Trump told Chris Wallace he values the ability to be flexible with his staff amid speculation Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and White House chief of staff John Kelly may soon depart from the White House. "I have three or four or five positions that I'm thinking about. Of that, maybe it's going to end up being two. But I need flexibility," Trump said.
Trump told Wallace he was looking for Nielsen to improve her handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. "I like her very much I respect her very much I'd like her to be much together on the border. Much tougher. Period," Trump said.
The president also said he and Kelly "get along well," but said Kelly was likely to "move on," suggesting he may not remain as chief of staff with the White House through 2020. "There are certain things I love what he does and there are certain things that I don't like that he does - that aren't his strength," Trump said. "It's not that he doesn't do - you know he works so hard. He's doing an excellent job in many ways. There are a couple of things where it's just not his strength. It's not his fault, it's not his strength."
Addressing the replacement of one of his administration's most recent departures, Trump said he wasn't aware that Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker had been critical of Special Counsel Robert Muller's investigation into his possible role in Russian interference in the 2016 election when he selected him to replace departing Attorney General Jeff Sessions. "I did not know he took views on the Mueller investigation as such," Trump said. He added he "would not get involved" in Whitaker's decisions overseeing the Mueller probe as attorney general. "It's going to be up to him," Trump said. "I think he's very well aware politically. I think he's astute politically. He's a very smart person. A very respected person. He's going to do what's right. I really believe he's going to do what's right."

It Was A Normal Morning Until We Got The Notification. 45 Minutes Later, We Were Sitting In Front Of Trump Himself
We'd recently done a sit down interview with the president and, while we're always ready to sit in the Oval, weren't expecting another interview anytime soon. Until the call came. it in the Oval, weren't expecting another interview anytime soon. Until the call came. Could we, Saagar Enjeti and Benny Johnson, be at the White House in 45 minutes? "We'll be there." Cue an instant flurry of newsroom activity. I sounded the alarm to Johnson, who ditched his jeans to wedge himself into a spare suit I keep in the office. Another colleague coughed up some dress shoes in Benny's size. Meanwhile, the five o'clock shadow on my face suddenly felt like a full beard. We tore out of the office.
Headed for the White House, my mind teemed and calculated what the news of the day was and what I could realistically ask Trump about. Benny and I quickly thought up a few must-ask questions and decided the order of who would ask what. I noted to Benny that given my experience interviewing Trump two months earlier, it was best to ask shorter, big-picture questions. The most interesting things the president says are often embedded within monologues, though some probing is necessary to narrow specific bits of news.
As we ventured over to the White House and scrambled to get Benny cleared through the Secret Service, the Caller's most senior editors convened in a conference room back at the office. They began to also brainstorm newsworthy questions important to our audience and rank them in order of importance. As they decided on questions, they began to email them to me in a list. Nearly to the White House, just blocks from our office, I had a docket of questions on my phone, both those given to me by my editors and those I had crafted myself. I called our editorial director - Vince Coglianese, who accompanied me on our last interview of Trump - to again go over the best strategies. For any president, wording must be precise to yield maximum result. They tend to be masters of filibuster, and Trump loves veering off topic to a side story or anecdote. Moments later, my phone rang again. It was time. Armed only with my notes and recording app, we ventured into the famous office and placed our phones on the Resolute Desk.
Trump was only slated to speak with us for 15 minutes, but we pushed 30. Several senior White House officials were in the room with us as the interview progressed, and the president rattled off on subjects ranging from the professional fates of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and CNN reporter Jim Acosta, to the Florida recounts, Amazon and Antifa violence. The president is a singular force in these interviews veering off into any subject he wants, drawing connections you would never think, and talking over you if he feels that he hasn't been able to fully make his point. This time, he was in a lighthearted mood, joking around with Benny and me, answering parts of questions he felt like expounding on. Throughout the interview, the buzz of the U.S. government's center-most element could be felt around us. The door to the Oval Office remained open and aides stalked the outer office waiting for us to depart.
Trump's aide came to inform him after only 20 minutes that he had his intelligence briefing to attend. The president nodded, seemed unbothered and continued to speak. I hardly registered at the time as I was so focused on getting as many questions in as possible. Trump answered one last question on his takeaways from the 2018 election, and we were hurriedly ushered out of the Oval Office by his senior staff. The hallway by the Oval Office that guests wait in to be received was packed full of harried national security officials waiting to deliver a briefing, including CIA Director Gina Haspel herself.
I thanked the president's senior aides for the opportunity and racked my brain for all of the newsworthy headlines we had accumulated. It's only after you've left the Oval Office do you really appreciate the historic place where you were just standing, the significance of the things you have just heard and the exhilarating task you have just completed. "What were you guys doing in there?" a fellow correspondent asked as we left the White House. I gave a mischievous smile and said "oh you know, just the usual" and hurried away to write to my stories.

"I like her very much I respect her very much I'd like her to be much together on the border. Much tougher. Period," Trump said.
The president also said he and Kelly "get along well," but said Kelly was likely to "move on," suggesting he may not remain as chief of staff with the White House through 2020.
"There are certain things I love what he does and there are certain things that I don't like that he does - that aren't his strength," Trump said. "It's not that he doesn't do - you know he works so hard. He's doing an excellent job in many ways. There are a couple of things where it's just not his strength. It's not his fault, it's not his strength."
Addressing the replacement of one of his administration's most recent departures, Trump said he wasn't aware that Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker had been critical of Special Counsel Robert Muller's investigation into his possible role in Russian interference in the 2016 election when he selected him to replace departing Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"I did not know he took views on the Mueller investigation as such," Trump said.
He added he "would not get involved" in Whitaker's decisions overseeing the Mueller probe as attorney general.
"It's going to be up to him," Trump said. "I think he's very well aware politically. I think he's astute politically. He's a very smart person. A very respected person. He's going to do what's right. I really believe he's going to do what's right."

Trump considering changes at 'three or four or five' Cabinet positions
President Trump said Sunday he's considering making a change to as many as five Cabinet positions amid speculation that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Kirstjen Nielsen and White House chief of staff John Kelly could depart imminently.
"I have three or four or five positions that I'm thinking about. Of that, maybe it's going to end up being two. But I need flexibility," Trump said of Nielsen in an interview on "Fox News Sunday."
The president indicated he was disappointed with Nielsen's handling of the southern border, which has been a source of tension for the two.
"I like her very much I respect her very much I'd like her to be much together on the border. Much tougher. Period," Trump said.
The president downplayed multiple reports of a rift between him and Kelly, but suggested that it's no longer a guarantee that the chief of staff will remain with the White House through the 2020 election.
"We get along well," Trump said of Kelly. "There are certain things I love what he does, and there are certain things I don't like that he does that aren't his strength."
"I haven't even thought about John in terms of this," he added. "But John at some point is going to want to move on."
The president has repeatedly said he intends to make changes to his Cabinet following the midterm elections, though he has not provided details.
Trump fired former Attorney General Jeff Sessions the day after the midterms, and The Washington Post reported last week that Nielsen's departure is expected in the coming weeks.

Mattis Tells Army Troops On Border: Ignore Media Hype Over The Mission, "You'll Go Nuts"
On Wednesday Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen visited soldiers at the border in Texas, sent by Trump to bolster US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents ahead of waves of migrants expected to come as part of the much hyped caravan, in numbers totaling nearly 6,000 active duty troops, according to the Washington Post.
During televised comments Mattis avoided identifying either the short or long term mission of the border deployment, but said "we'll let you know" when one soldier asked whether the Army would be removing the miles of concertina wire troops have been erecting on border choke points considered weak or previously easy to breach. Another soldier bluntly asked Mattis precisely about official goals of the non-conventional mission, to which which he responded:
"Short term, get the obstacles in. Longer term…it is somewhat to be determined."
And another soldier was quoted by Washington Post journalists as scoffing to his friend while working on positioning the wire: "I bet you five bucks we have to take all this down in a few weeks," the soldier said.
Mattis' talk was focused on keeping the troops motivated for what he admitted is "certainly non-traditional" in terms of a military mission or deployment. "The eyes of the world are on you" he said, and added that the mission is "certainly non-traditional…generally we do homeland security overseas."
Perhaps the most interesting moment came when the defense secretary addressed the explosive media controversy and coverage generated by the Trump-ordered deployment. Mattis urged the troops to ignore the flood of news coverage questioning the mission:
"There's all sorts of stuff in the news…If you read all that stuff, you'll go nuts, you know what I mean?"
Ironically one could just as easily apply these words to America's "endless war" in Afghanistan - a quagmire that Pentagon officials have recently dubbed unwinnable.
One US Marine combat veteran of the Afghan war and current New York Times reporter commented:

I realize many of you already may know this, yet this may be helpful for frustrated patriotic normies, those who aren't "in the pipe, 5:5":
If you're bummed about all these election seats magically flipping to Dems candidates, keep this in mind:
-During the last election, the '16 election, we had a corrupt DOJ and FBI(Lynch/Comey). In addition, DHS was not responsible for election integrity.
-Fast forward to the '18 mid-terms: DHS now has oversight of elections. DHS/DOJ/FBI All hands on deck: Civil Rights Division, Criminal Division, and National Security Divisions of DOJ monitor elections, including FBI and Military Intelligence.
-For crime to be prosecuted, it needs to occur. Sounds simple, but in the case of an election, that means election results need to be certified. Thus, DHS, DOJ/FBI has to allow the extent of the crime to occur before DOJ can prosecute. Hence, when relevant districts certify the results, the crime is complete for those districts. Thus, only after elections are certified can action be taken; investigation end > prosecution.
DHS head Kirstjen Nielsen soon to go?
Enjoy the show! Patriots in control.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Says Decision On Nielsen Happening 'Shortly'
1:01 PM 11/14/2018 | Politics
Saagar Enjeti and Benny Johnson | Reporters
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump expects to make a decision on the future of his Department of Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen "shortly," he told The Daily Caller in an exclusive Oval Office interview Wednesday.
Asked specifically about the possible departures of his chief of staff John Kelly and Nielsen, Trump replied, "Always in an administration after the midterms we make changes."
"We're looking at a lot of options," he continued. "A lot of people want to come in, a lot of politicians who have had very successful careers want to come in."
"I'm looking at things. I haven't made a decision yet," Trump continued. "I will be making a decision on homeland shortly. I have not made decisions yet. I will be making changes on various things."
"Overall I think our cabinet is great," he said. "They're talking about a few names, they're taking about many."
Reports of Kelly and Nielsen's possible departure's widely circulated Tuesday. Sources familiar with the process told TheDC Tuesday they expect Nielsen to depart the administration in the coming weeks and that replacements were already being actively considered.

White House chief of staff John Kelly could soon be departing from the Trump administration following conflicts with first lady Melania Trump and other officials, NBC News reported Tuesday.
Kelly and Trump have reportedly clashed over the first lady's staffing requests and her travel arrangements.
Citing two White House officials, NBC News reported that the first lady voiced concerns to President Trump earlier this year after Kelly denied multiple requests from her to promote her aides.
Those requests remained in limbo for months, with Kelly reportedly insisting that there weren't enough open spots for those aides to have senior titles.
NBC News noted that two of the aides in question, first lady spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham and White House social secretary Anna Cristina Niceta Lloyd, were ultimately promoted in June.
Kelly and Melania Trump have also reportedly feuded over travel arrangements for the first lady's staff, with Kelly often refusing to make space available for her aides aboard Air Force One and on helicopters.
The first lady's staff members have also often been without hotel reservations while traveling and haven't been listed for motorcade travel, according to NBC News.
Grisham told The Hill in a statement that Trump "has a very positive relationship" with Kelly and that there "have never been any issues" between the two.
Grisham also said that that the East Wing is "very focused on the First Lady's initiatives and works independently."
"However, we do collaborate on a variety of projects and work alongside many departments within the West Wing. We have a very positive working relationship," Grisham added.
The White House did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.
Kelly's potential ouster from the White House has long been rumored as a possibility. He was brought in last year to replace Reince Priebus, President Trump's first White House chief of staff.
NBC News noted that Kelly has also clashed with national security adviser John Bolton. The two were reported to have engaged in a profanity-laced verbal disagreement outside the Oval Office last month.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is also reportedly on the way out, according to a report from The Washington Post.
Nielsen was Kelly's chief of staff when Kelly was secretary of Homeland Security and filled the role when he moved to the White House, and Kelly has defended Nielsen from Trump's attacks.
Trump has reportedly been frustrated with Nielsen's efforts on immigration as the administration deals with a wave of new arrests along the border.

Trump to replace Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen
U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to replace Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, but has not settled on the timing, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing unidentified White House and administration officials.
Nielsen is a close ally of White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and her firing might prompt Kelly to quit, the Journal reported. Trump is aware of that possibility and said he probably would replace Kelly with Nick Ayers, who is currently chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, it reported.

Today, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, DNI Dan Coats, and FBI Director Christopher Wray released the following joint statement:
"Our agencies have been working in unprecedented ways to combat influence efforts and to support state and local officials in securing our elections, including efforts to harden election infrastructure against interference. Our goal is clear: ensure every vote is counted and counted correctly. At this time we have no indication of compromise of our nation's election infrastructure that would prevent voting, change vote counts, or disrupt the ability to tally votes."
"But Americans should be aware that foreign actors - and Russia in particular - continue to try to influence public sentiment and voter perceptions through actions intended to sow discord. They can do this by spreading false information about political processes and candidates, lying about their own interference activities, disseminating propaganda on social media, and through other tactics. The American public can mitigate these efforts by remaining informed, reporting suspicious activity, and being vigilant consumers of information, as discussed below."
"The United States will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections from Russia, China, Iran, or other nations. As noted in a joint statement on October 19, 2018, such actions are a threat to our democracy, and identifying and preventing this interference is one of our highest priorities. On September 12, President Trump signed an executive order that makes clear the U.S. government will not hesitate to defend our electoral processes or punish those who attempt to undermine them."
"Our agencies have been making preparations for nearly two years in advance of these elections and are closely engaged with officials on the ground to help them ensure the voting process is secure.

'Dramatic increase' in number of H1B visas being held up, claims Compete America
The H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. The technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from countries like India and China.
Claiming that there has been a "dramatic increase" in the number of H-1B visas being held up, a coalition of American employers representing top IT companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft has alleged that the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is acting outside of its own regulations. The H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. The technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from countries like India and China.
"We have observed three changes in H-1B adjudication practices under the current administration that seem to permeate most of the increased H-1B adjudication inconsistencies experienced by employers," Compete America said in a letter to the Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and Francis Cissna Director, USCIS. Expressing concerns over legal issues regarding the recent changes in adjudication standards for H-1B non-immigrant visa petitions at USCIS, the coalition - Compete America - said the agency's current approach to H-1B adjudications cannot be anticipated by either the statutory or regulatory text. This leaves employers with a disruptive lack of clarity about the agency's practices, procedures, and policies. This lack of certainty and consistency wreaks havoc among the nation's employers which are hiring high-skilled Americans and foreign-born professionals, it said in the letter dated November 1.
Compete America alleged that the agency appears to be acting "outside of its own regulations and the controlling statute" by requiring petitioners to comply with the agency's current view that a comparatively entry-level job, and corresponding wage level, cannot be a specialty occupation. The specific field of study requirement for a specialty occupation means the job must necessitate completion of a single major or qualifying degree, and the requirement for an occupation to usually carry a degree prerequisite means a degree must always be needed. In its letter, Compete America said that its members have reported dramatic increases in the issuance of Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and denials regarding H-1B petitions for the last 18 months.
More recently they are experiencing a sharp increase in the issuance of Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs) and Notices of Intent to Revoke (NOIRs) concerning H-1B petitions. "These reported shifts in agency action have been perplexing to our coalition's members, especially because the agency's changes in approach were unannounced and unexplained and are not previewed in the regulations governing a qualifying H-1B specialty occupation that have been in effect since 1991," it said. According to Compete America, USCIS has been denying H-1B petitions exclusively because an entry-level wage is applicable for the specific position, even though the occupation itself is clearly a specialty occupation.
"Nothing in the statute or regulations contemplates or suggests, much less states, that USCIS could ever take the position that it per se excludes or disfavours entry-level jobs in an occupation, or young professionals working in jobs in an occupation, as qualifying for H-1B specialty occupation approval," it asserted. Further, employers have reported repeated instances of USCIS denying an H-1B petition on the basis that the degree held by the sponsored foreign professional is not within a single field of acceptable study for an occupation.
Employers are also reporting repeated instances of USCIS denying H-1B petitions for occupations that may have some limited instances of jobs where a bachelor's degree or higher is not required, even when those occupations normally do require that level of education for the majority of roles, as contemplated by the statute, Compete America said.

Illegal border crossers now ineligible for asylum, White House says
15 hours ago
The Trump administration announced Thursday that migrants who attempt to cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally will not be eligible to claim asylum under a new rule meant to crack down on "meritless" claims.
The rule, which prevents migrants from claiming asylum if they do not do so at an official border crossing, is the latest attempt by the White House to handle a surge in migration to the U.S. from the Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
President Trump is expected to formally enact the rule in a presidential proclamation Friday and will invoke the same powers he used to push through a version of the travel ban that was upheld by the Supreme Court, according to senior administration officials.
"Consistent with our immigration laws, the President has the broad authority to suspend or restrict the entry of aliens into the United States if he determines it to be in the national interest to do so," Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a joint statement. " ... Our asylum system is overwhelmed with too many meritless asylum claims from aliens who place a tremendous burden on our resources, preventing us from being able to expeditiously grant asylum to those who truly deserve it. Today, we are using the authority granted to us by Congress to bar aliens who violate a Presidential suspension of entry or other restriction from asylum eligibility."

DOJ and DHS Issue New Asylum Rule
Applies President's authority to suspend entry to asylum
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen today announced an Interim Final Rule declaring that those aliens who contravene a presidential suspension or limitation on entry into the United States through the southern border with Mexico issued under section 212(f) or 215(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) will be rendered ineligible for asylum.
The Acting Attorney General and the Secretary issued the following joint statement:
"Consistent with our immigration laws, the President has the broad authority to suspend or restrict the entry of aliens into the United States if he determines it to be in the national interest to do so. Today's rule applies this important principle to aliens who violate such a suspension or restriction regarding the southern border imposed by the President by invoking an express authority provided by Congress to restrict eligibility for asylum. Our asylum system is overwhelmed with too many meritless asylum claims from aliens who place a tremendous burden on our resources, preventing us from being able to expeditiously grant asylum to those who truly deserve it. Today, we are using the authority granted to us by Congress to bar aliens who violate a Presidential suspension of entry or other restriction from asylum eligibility."
Section 212(f) of the Immigration and INA states that "[w]henever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."
Further, Section 215(a) of the INA states that it is "unlawful...for any alien to depart from or enter or attempt to depart from or enter the United States except under such reasonable rules, regulations, and orders, and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President may prescribe."
In Section 208(d)(5)(B) of the INA, Congress specified that the Attorney General "may provide by regulation for any other conditions or limitations on the consideration of an application for asylum."
Today's new rule applies to prospective presidential proclamations, and is not retroactive.
Asylum is a discretionary form of relief granted by the Executive Branch on a discretionary basis to those fleeing persecution on the basis of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. The rule does not render such aliens ineligible for withholding of removal under the INA or protection from removal under the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

Q Research General #4815: THE SENATE WAS THE KEY Edition
Other anons have probably already come to this conclusion but I'm between appointments and don't have time to read the notables so here goes my theory:
Sessions had to resign as AG because he has been in the Senate for years and would have had to recuse himself from the prosecution of Senators he served with or whose misdeeds he witnessed or had prior knowledge of. This is why no Senator or current Congressman can be appointed AG. So no Lindsey Graham or Trey Gowdy, at least not yet.
Sessions will likely be appointed secretary of DHS, where he will clean out the deep state obstructionists and SES holdovers, including Kirstjen Nielsen, and proceed with securing the border, ending human trafficking, building the wall, and enforcing all existing immigration laws. As Secretary of DHS he will also be heavily involved in investigating election fraud, as a matter of national security.
Matthew Whitaker can remain as acting AG as long as needed, up to the statutory limit of 210 days. He has no recent ties to the Senate or House of Representatives and is therefore the perfect hatchet man, with no recusal necessary. After the Senate and House are cleaned and the dirty senators and congressmen indicted, he can be replaced by whoever POTUS wants, or nominated and confirmed on his own merit.

There Are "Absolutely" Middle Easterners Among Caravan: DHS Secretary Nielsen
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen doubled down on a claim that Middle Easterners are among those traveling in the Central American caravans currently making their way north in hopes of gaining asylum in the United States.
Speaking with Fox News Intelligence on Monday, Nielsen said: "We absolutely see people from the Middle East, from southeast Asia, from other parts of the world," adding "They are not just from Central America."
"We don't always know exactly who they are … What I can tell you is we stopped 3,000 people last year at the southwest border who had patterns of travel similar to a terrorist. We call those special interest aliens."
Nielsen also added that the migrants are using women and children as "barriers," which are sent up to the front of the group to frustrate federal military and police, and that the rest of the caravans - which appear to be organized and financed - are comprised of "mostly single men." She added that the timing and origin of the groups are suspicious in nature.
Nielsen's comments come amid a CNBC report suggesting that President Trump's decision to send thousands of US troops to reinforce border security in California, Arizona and Texas will cost upwards of $220 million.
Last week footage emerged of several groups of migrants becoming violent with Mexican authorities, including this clip of them throwing rocks at a helicopter.
President Trump in response said that the US military would treat rocks as "rifles," a comment he later walked back while still stressing that the caravan was a dangerous threat to the United States.
Meanwhile, according to Mexico News Daily, a fourth caravan of 4,000 asylum-seekers is now making its way north, bringing the total number of migrants headed towards the US above 12,000.
The first caravan started out with approximately 7,000 people, however around half either turned back or accepted asylum from Mexico.
Between 7,000 and 15,000 US troops will be stationed in Southern Border states, while the actual number of migrants which reach the US-Mexico border will undoubtedly be much smaller than the estimated 12,000 currently traveling north. An April caravan of approximately 1,200 people dwindled to several hundred people, who were granted asylum at the US border.

Q Research General #4752: POTUS On The Phone Edition
List: 15 Democratic attacks, assaults, threats on Republicans
The crude Saturday Night Live attack on the looks and battle-taken right eye of GOP House candidate Dan Crenshaw was just the latest attack and threat against Republicans this year by critics, some of whom have called for violence against their political opponents. Both sides have been talking about violence, the latest from Mika Brzezinski of the MSNBC Morning Joe show. She hit President Trump last week: "The rhetoric of this racist, heartless, soulless man will lead to more violence. Yes, I said that."
Some Democrats and Trump critics in October were sent suspicious packages and pipe bombs. Nobody was injured. Meanwhile, several Republicans have been pushed around and worse, like the shooting at a GOP baseball practice last year. With both sides predicting that the violence will continue after Tuesday's congressional midterm elections, Secrets takes a look at the examples this year of what the president and GOP call "mob violence" targeting Republicans: 1. Last year, House Republicans practicing for a congressional baseball game were shot by a liberal supporter and volunteer for 2016 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Sanders said he was "sickened" by the shooting and recently dismissed liberal charges that Trump was to blame for the Pittsburgh synagogue slayings.
2. In June, California Rep. Maxine Waters called for threats and attacks on Trump team members. She said, "If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere." 3, That month White House Spokeswoman Sarah Sanders and her group had to leave a Virginia restaurant because of their work for Trump. "This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals," said Red Hen Restaurant co-owner Stephanie Wilkinson. 4. White House top aide Stephen Miller was verbally assaulted at two restaurants, in Washington, D.C. 5. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was met with shouting protesters at a Washington restaurant, part of a social media pop up assault. 6. Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife were shouted out of a restaurant by anti-Brett Kavanaugh protesters. 7. Democratic Sen. Cory Booker in July urged liberal advocates to "Get up in the face of some congresspeople." 8. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Democrats shouldn't be civil to Republicans until they win back control of Washington. She said, "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about." 9. Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder junked former first lady Michelle Obama's call for civility when he told supporters, "Michelle always says, 'When they go low, we go high.' No. No. When they go low, we kick them," he said, adding, "That's what this Democratic Party's about. We're proud as hell to be Democrats. We're willing to fight for the ideals of the Democratic Party." 10. The wife of Republican Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner said that she received a graphic text message with a video of a beheading after he voted to confirm Kavanaugh. 11. When Kavanaugh arrived at the Supreme Court to take his seat, a mob pounded on the doors of the Supreme Court. They yelled, "No justice, no peace." 12. During the Kavanaugh hearings Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins received a potentially deadly mailing of Ricin at her home. "Today's incident is the latest in a series of threats against Senator Collins, her loved ones, and her staff," said spokeswoman Annie Clark. 13. The campaignmanager for Nevada GOP gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt was allegedly grabbed and yanked by an operative for American Bridge 21st Century, funded by liberal billionaire George Soros. "Politics is a little bit aggressive these days, but this is just insane. I've never seen anything like it," said a bruised Kristin Davison. 14. Two Minnesota state GOP candidates say they were attacked, punched by political foes. 15. The Laramie, Wyo. Republican office was set on fire, a case of arson, according to police.

U.S. lifts sanctions on top Turkish officials as tensions ease
The United States lifted sanctions on Friday on two top officials in Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's cabinet, a sign of improved relations after Turkey freed an American pastor from detention three weeks ago. The United States had imposed sanctions on Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul and Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu in August to protest the case of Andrew Brunson, an American Christian pastor who had been detained by Turkey for two years. The U.S. Treasury Department announced on its website that the sanctions had been lifted. Turkey immediately matched the U.S. move by lifting sanctions on two corresponding U.S. officials - U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the foreign ministry said.
Tensions between the NATO allies on this and other issues have weighed on the Turkish economy. After Friday's move, Turkey's sovereign dollar bonds jumped, with many issues adding 1 cent or more. Erdogan and Trump discussed improving relations between Washington and Ankara during a call between the two leaders, the Turkish presidency said on Thursday. The White House did not have any immediate comment on the lifting of the U.S. sanctions.
Brunson, who had lived in Turkey for more than 20 years, was swept up in raids after a 2016 coup attempt against Erdogan. He was jailed two years ago and up until his release last month had been under house arrest since July, accused of links to Kurdish militants and supporters of Fethullah Gulen, a cleric blamed by Turkey's government for the coup attempt. Brunson maintained his innocence, and his case was championed by U.S. evangelical Christians.
After a July deal to free Brunson fell apart, Washington imposed sanctions and tariffs on Ankara that sent the lira tumbling. Relations have also been strained by U.S. support of Kurdish fighters in northern Syria, Turkey's plans to purchase a Russian missile defense system and the U.S. jailing of an executive of a Turkish state bank in an Iran sanctions case. Washington has also been pushing Turkey to release Turkish- American Serkan Golge, a former NASA scientist, who was arrested in the 2016 crackdown, as well as Turkish citizens employed by the U.S. State Department who were detained in the sweeps.

DHS: Caravan migrants from 20 countries, include 270 convicted criminals
The Department of Homeland Security claimed Thursday people from at least 20 countries make up the two caravan groups, not just citizens of Guatemala and Honduras. In a release called "Myth vs. Fact: Caravan," the department also states more than 270 people in the caravans are either known gang members or have criminal backgrounds. DHS did not cite its sources for the information and a department spokesperson said that information is law enforcement sensitive.
"We continue to be concerned about individuals along the caravan route. In fact, over 270 individuals along the caravan route have criminal histories, including known gang membership," the statement said. "Those include a number of violent criminals - examples include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, sexual assault on a child, and assault on a female." A DHS spokesperson told the Washington Examiner the 270 had previously been convicted, not just charged. "We also continue to see individuals from over 20 countries in this flow from countries such as Somalia, India, Haiti, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. There is a large segment of this population that we know nothing about and we must be prepared to defend our border and enforce our laws to protect the citizens of our country," the department said.
Officials put the number of people in the two caravans from Central American countries at 6,500 total. Both caravans are making their way north through Mexico. Last week, President Trump stated "unknown Middle Easterners" were among migrants in a caravan fleeing Central America for the U.S. DHS had defended Trump's claim but not shared details of who was in the group until now.
Mexican officials have previously said known criminals were a part of the caravan. "I have videos from Guatemala that show men dressed in identical clothing, sporting the same haircuts, handing out money to women to persuade them to move to the front of the caravan," Mexican Interior Minister Navarrete Prida said Tuesday during a radio interview. "We know, for a fact, that some members of the caravan threatened [Mexican] Migration Institute personnel and we have images showing many of them preparing Molotov cocktails."
DHS estimates put half of the group as single adults. A senior Border Patrol official based in San Diego, Calif., recently told the Washington Examiner only 20 to 30 percent of the first caravan were children and families. Citing the Guatemalan intelligence minister, DHS said the "caravan is employing tactics to push women and children to the front to act as human shields as the caravan pushes against its military forces." The first of the two caravans could arrive by Nov. 3 and as late as Nov. 12, though it depends on if the members walk or drive. Homeland Security officials said those seeking work or to reunite with family members will not be granted asylum unless they can prove they meet the criteria. DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in May that 4 in 5 asylum seekers at the southwest border have their asylum claims denied.

More on this: Posse Comitatus Act
President Trump wants military troops to help guard the U.S.-Mexico border, but there are legal limits on what the military can do. NPR's Audie Cornish speaks with George Mason University law professor Tim MacArthur about the Posse Comitatus Act.
AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
For the last few days, President Trump has touted plans to send troops to the U.S. border with Mexico. The details of that are now coming into focus. Here's Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen yesterday at the White House.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
Kirstjen Nielsen: The president has directed that the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security work together with our governors to deploy the National Guard to our southwest border to assist the Border Patrol.
CORNISH: The details matter because the president can't just call up military forces on a whim to do domestic law enforcement. It's barred by a federal law dating back to the period after the Civil War, a law known as posse comitatus. Earlier today, George Mason University law professor Timothy MacArthur explained it to us.
TIMOTHY MACARTHUR: The law states that federalized military personnel cannot perform civil law enforcement functions. That means that anything short of search, seizure and arrest the military can assist with. And that would be providing surveillance, providing military equipment, training, information sharing, stuff of that nature.
CORNISH: So I understand this goes back to Reconstruction and the period right after the Civil War. What was going on why people decided to put this law into place?
MACARTHUR: Well, after the Civil War, during the Reconstruction era, what had happened is the southern states were either unwilling or unable to enforce civil laws. So at that time the federal government employed active duty military to keep the peace. And so what happened is Congress enacted the posse comitatus law. And that was due to the fact that the southern states didn't want military rule.
CORNISH: So ever since then, have presidents been able to get around this rule? I think you've written about the Civil Rights period where we saw federalized National Guard deployed.

Democrats didn't care when Madonna said she had thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. Democrats didn't care when Kathy Griffin posed with a mock severed head of President Trump. Democrats didn't care when a Broadway Play depicted the assassination of President Trump. Democrats didn't care when Johnny Depp said, "how long has it been since an actor assassinated a President". Democrats didn't care when dozens of people were shot to death at a Jason Aldean concert. Democrats didn't care when Congressman Steve Scalise was shot at a baseball game. Democrats didn't care when Robert De Niro said "somebody needs to take out Trump". Democrats didn't care when Carole Cook said "Where's John Wilkes Booth when you need him?" Democrats didn't care when Republican candidate Rudy Peters was attacked by a man with a switchblade. Democrats didn't care when Senator Rand Paul was attacked while cutting his grass. Democrats didn't care when a Republican Party Office was set on fire. Democrats didn't care when Eric Holder said "When they go low, we kick 'em". Democrats didn't care when Trump family members received suspicious packages in the mail. Democrats didn't care when Secretary of Defense James Mattis received death threats. Democrats didn't care when Maxine Waters said "you get up in their face at the mall, in restaurants, at gas stations and you tell them Republicans they're not welcomed anywhere". Democrats didn't care when Sarah Sanders and her family were harassed at a restaurant, instructed to leave and chased down the street. Democrats didn't care when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was harassed and chased out of a Mexican restaurant. Democrats didn't care when Trump adviser Stephen Miller's life was threatened and he was chased out of a restaurant. Democrats didn't care when Attorney General Pam Bondi was harassed and chased out of a theatre. Democrats didn't care when two Republican senators: Rob Portman of Ohio and John Boozman of Arkansas were harassed in their own yards and on their own doorsteps. Democrats didn't care when a 71-year-old female staffer for California Rep. Dana Rohrbacher was knocked unconscious by an angry group of liberal protesters. Democrats didn't care when a North Carolina GOP office was firebombed by an angry mob of liberals. Democrats didn't care when Hillary Clinton said "we can't be civil to Republican until Democrats return to power".

Wall or fence? First completed section of Trump's border wall unveiled in California (PHOTOS)
After a series of political battles, the first completed section of President Donald Trump's border wall has been unveiled. But people are still arguing over whether it's a wall or a fence.
The two-and-a-half-mile-long, 30-foot-tall barrier was built over eight months and unveiled by US Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen at a ceremony in Calexico, California on Friday. Nielsen pleaded for further government funding to complete the mammoth project, saying that "walls work." She also refuted the oft-repeated claim that the barrier of steel bollards was actually just a fence.
Earlier this year, Trump unveiled eight border wall prototypes in California, some concrete and some metal structures like this one. "It's different than a fence in that it also has technology. It's a full wall system," she said. "It's a wall, this is what the president has asked us to do. It's part of a system."
The ceremony celebrated the replacement of shorter, older fencing that was installed in the 1990s. On Friday, a plaque was installed on the 'wall' to "commemorate the completion of the first section of President Trump's border wall," it read.
"Walls work, it's not my opinion," Nielsen said. "It's not a tagline. It's not a political statement. It's a fact."
"Looking at this, I would not attempt to climb it," she continued. "This is the wall system we are requesting Congress to fund," she later added.
This year's congressional spending bill allocated $1.6 billion for border security, $38 million of which was set aside for border wall construction. However, it specifically stated that it must be the same fencing used by previous administrations.
The construction funding "shall only be available for operationally effective designs deployed as of the date of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017… such as the currently deployed steel bollard designs," reads the bill, which dates back to before Trump had even built his prototypes.
38 million for a fence. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 build the WALL!! Or fence. 😂😂😂😂😂

US: 'Everything on table' to block migrants at border
CALEXICO, California - Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Friday that "everything is on the table" as the administration considered new measures to stifle immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border and send a message that a slow-moving migrant caravan bound for the United States will not be welcome.
Nielsen addressed the Trump administration's efforts to fortify the border while standing next to a newly constructed 30-foot fence in California. Before she spoke, two workers wearing welding masks affixed a plaque to the barrier with the names of President Donald Trump and several high-ranking officials to commemorate what the administration calls the completion of the first phase of his border wall.
Nielsen's trip to the border came after the Pentagon approved a request for additional troops at the southern border, expected to total at least 800 and possibly more than 1,000. And the White House is looking at new border security measures, including one plan that would use the same mechanism as Trump's travel ban to block migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S, according to two people familiar with the discussion. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the idea, which they stressed was still in the early planning stages and had yet to be decided.

DHS chief marks first section of Trump's border wall.
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen unveiled two new miles of border fencing on Friday and declared it the first new section of the President Donald Trump's border wall.
"It's different than a fence in that it also has technology. It's a full wall system," she said in Calexico, Calif., when asked about whether the 30-foot tall barrier made of steel bollards was actually just a fence. "It's a wall, this is what the president has asked us to do. It's part of a system."
The Friday event comes as a migrant caravan of several thousand Central Americans makes its way across Mexico toward the U.S., prompting the administration to prepare to send troops to the southern border. The Trump administration is also drafting an executive order aimed at closing off the borders as much as possible; while the details of the executive order are still being debated in the White House, it could mirror the travel ban and would make it exceedingly hard for migrants seeking asylum to gain entry to the U.S.
"Everything is on the table," Nielsen said.

The FBI has found two new packages believed to be part of the mail bombing spree, addressed to Senator Cory Booker and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
The package to Booker was found on Thursday night at a mail sorting facility in Florida, and the package addressed to Clapper was found at a postal facility in Manhattan on Friday.
A local police bomb squad and canine units joined federal investigators on Thursday to examine a sprawling U.S. mail distribution center at Opa-Locka, northwest of Miami, Miami-Dade County police said.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said that Florida appeared to be the starting point for at least some of the bomb shipments.

All federal facilities at heightened alert levels after bomb scares: DHS
All federal facilities are on heightened alert for suspicious activity and have enhanced security procedures following a set of bomb scares across the country Wednesday, said Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Nielsen also said the department is actively communicating with the National Network of Fusion Centers, which accept and process information provided by state and local agencies on criminal or terror-related issues then presents it to DHS as a threat overview. "I condemn these cowardly acts in the strongest possible terms. Americans will not tolerate these types of threats, and we will not be intimidated," Nielsen said in a statement released Wednesday evening.
Top Democratic officials, including former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, were mailed suspicious packages that arrived Wednesday morning. Packages were addressed to former Attorney General Eric Holder, former CIA Director John Brennan, billionaire and liberal donor George Soros, Rep. Maxine Waters of California, and Sen. Kamala Harris of California. Former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida received a package at her office, which was used as the return address. The packages sent to Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Holder, and Soros all contained bombs. The two others resemble those items but have not been confirmed by the FBI as containing explosives. None of the packages mailed to officials across the country detonated.
The FBI has launched a national investigation - at President Trump's command - to determine who was behind the attacks. "DHS and the U.S. Secret Service are closely coordinating with the FBI on the active investigation and are working with state and local law enforcement to provide updates on the evolving situation," Nielsen said. In addition, CNN's New York office in Manhattan was also sent mail that was later determined to contain a pipe bomb. Federal officials have not arrested anyone connected to the crime as of Wednesday evening.

"Shouting Match" Breaks Out Over Migrant Caravan As Trump Admin Debates Response
The Trump administration is still deciding how it will respond if a Central American migrant caravan arrives at the sourthern US border, despite President Trump's threats to deploy the military and declare a state of emergency, reports AP via CNBC. Trump has also threatened to retract aid from the caravan participants' countries of origin.
Top immigration officials and close Trump advisers are still evaluating the options in closed-door meetings that have gotten increasingly heated in the past week, including one that turned into a shouting match as the caravan of about 7,000 people pushes north, according to administration officials and others with knowledge of the issue. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly on the topic. -CNBC
Some of Trump's inner circle, such as Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen have advocated for a more diplomatic approach - leveraging relationships with Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and the United Nations to halt the group's advance.
Others have advocated for more immediate options - including declaring a state of emergency in order to provide the administration with a wide range of options over how to manage the caravan, including rescinding aid and forcing arriving families to choose months in detention with their children or releasing them into government shelters until a relative or guardian can take them.
President Trump has advocated for much of the latter approach - calling the caravan a national emergency, threatening to deploy troops, and pulling aid.
"They're not coming in. We're going to do whatever we have to, they're not coming in," Trump said on Tuesday.

Trump Alerts Border Patrol Of 'National Emergency' As Caravan Progresses
President Donald Trump characterized a descending caravan of would-be Central American migrants making their way to the U.S. as a national emergency, in a Monday morning tweet.
Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2018
Trump lamented the limited effort the Mexican government has taken in attempting to quell the caravan of thousands of migrants as they continue to make their way through the country bound for the U.S. The president also expressed concern that "unknown middle easterners" and criminals were mixed in with the caravan.
The caravan has swelled to nearly 5,000 people as it entered Mexico via Guatemala. The majority of the caravan consists of Central Americans who wish to gain entry to the U.S. by claiming asylum upon arrival.
Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen warned Sunday that drug cartels could exploit the caravan for its own purposes. "While we closely monitor the caravan crisis, we must remain mindful of the transnational criminal organizations and other criminals that prey on the vulnerabilities of those undertaking the irregular migration journey," she said.

'Halloween' Billboard Hijacked to Target Maxine Waters
Sabo, a conservative street artist, replaced a photo of killer Michael Myers with one of the congresswoman. A billboard advertising the new Halloween movie opening Friday was altered after a street artist swapped out an image of serial killer Michael Myers and replaced it with one of Maxine Waters.
The gigantic billboard at Pico Boulevard in West Hollywood remains intact, only the congresswoman is now holding the sharp butcher knife in her right hand, looking ready to plunge it into an unsuspecting victim. The phrase "#Uncivil Democrats" has also been added. Blumhouse and Universal are advertising the sequel to the 1978 classic slasher movie of the same title on several billboards in and around Hollywood, though in the dead of night a conservative artist known as Sabo hijacked one of them. Sabo tells The Hollywood Reporter that the text he added to the advertisement is a reference to Waters telling a crowd in June to make things uncomfortable for President Donald Trump and his Cabinet members.
"If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd," Waters said at a rally in Los Angeles. "You push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere." Since then, several notable Republicans have been confronted in public places, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, presidential senior adviser Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Halloween is expected to do brisk business this weekend, perhaps opening with north of $70 million domestically and setting a record for a movie during the Oct. 31 corridor. The film, directed by David Gordon Green, has original survivor Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, preparing to defend herself should Myers return after 40 years of incarceration.

https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2018/10/10/homeland-security-issues-another-texas-border-wall-waiver/amp/
HOUSTON (AP) - The Department of Homeland Security has issued another waiver of environmental laws to build new border barriers in South Texas, this time for roughly 17 miles cutting through the National Butterfly Center and other sensitive areas.
DHS posted a waiver Wednesday that lists six sections where it plans to build "physical barriers and roads" in the Rio Grande Valley at the southernmost point of Texas. It follows another waiver posted Tuesday to build new gates to seal gaps in existing fencing, as the government moves forward with plans to fulfill President Donald Trump's signature campaign pledge to build a border wall.
DHS has the authority under existing laws to waive reviews and regulations under the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, and other laws that might otherwise delay or prevent wall construction.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in the waiver that there was an "acute and immediate need" for construction "to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project area."
Congress has already funded construction of about 33 miles in the Rio Grande Valley.
Thousands of people enter the U.S. without legal permission monthly in the Valley, more than anywhere else on the southwest border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials argue more border barriers would help deter and detect people trying to cross the Rio Grande.
But environmental advocates and area residents who oppose a border wall say new construction would unnecessarily cut off many people's land and cause environmental damage. They also argue a wall would do little to stop illegal immigration.
One segment listed in the waiver would run 8 miles. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, it would cut through the butterfly center as well as Bentsen State Park and the area near La Lomita chapel, a local landmark.
The nonprofit group that operates the center has sued the U.S. government to try to stop construction, a lawsuit that is still pending. Marianna Trevino Wright, the center's executive director, said Wednesday that the waiver could lead to their lawsuit being dismissed.
Wright on Wednesday called the proposed border wall a "multibillion-dollar fleecing of America."
"It is a huge scam that has nothing to do with national security," she said.

The Trump administration will make it much more difficult for immigrants to come to the United States or remain in the country if they use or are likely to use housing vouchers, food subsidies and other "non-cash" forms of public assistance, under a new proposal announced Saturday by the Department of Homeland Security.
U.S. immigration laws have long contained provisions limiting foreigners who are likely to be dependent on financial aid and therefore a "public charge." But the proposed changes amount to a broad expansion of the government's ability to deny visas or residency to immigrants if they or members of their household benefit from programs like Medicaid Part D, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Section 8 housing vouchers.
"Under long-standing federal law, those seeking to immigrate to the United States must show they can support themselves financially," said DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said, in a statement, adding that the proposed changes would "promote immigrant self-sufficiency and protect finite resources by ensuring that they are not likely to become burdens on American taxpayers."
The proposal will publish in the Federal Register in the coming weeks, according to DHS, triggering a 60-day public comment period. "After DHS carefully considers public comments received on the proposed rule, DHS plans to issue a final public charge rule that will include an effective date," the agency said. DHS officials say they are anticipating court challenges to any change.
While the proposal does not include tax credits and other health benefits that were under consideration in previous drafts, immigrant advocates have raised concerns that the rule change will force families to forgo help to avoid jeopardizing their immigration status.

Trump: Just FYI, Don't Forget "I Don't Have An Attorney General"
Actually, the problem appears to be more that he does. Donald Trump took time out this morning to beat one of his favorite nearly-dead horses, Jeff Sessions, over his recusal from the Russia probe. "I don't have an Attorney General," Trump told The Hill in an interview this morning from the White House. "It's very sad."
SEE ALSO: NRO's Ed Whelan: "Much more" is coming to show that Kavanaugh is innocent
In more ways than one ...
President Trump in an Oval Office interview with Hill.TV launched one of his most ferocious broadsides to date against Jeff Sessions, suggesting the attorney general was essentially AWOL and performing badly on a variety of issues.
"I don't have an attorney general. It's very sad," Trump told Hill.TV in an extensive and freewheeling interview Tuesday from the Oval Office. ...
"I'm so sad over Jeff Sessions because he came to me. He was the first senator that endorsed me. And he wanted to be attorney general, and I didn't see it," he said.
"And then he went through the nominating process and he did very poorly. I mean, he was mixed up and confused, and people that worked with him for, you know, a long time in the Senate were not nice to him, but he was giving very confusing answers. Answers that should have been easily answered. And that was a rough time for him."
This time, Trump's complaints have gone well beyond the recusal. He blamed Sessions for the lack of progress on border security too, declaring "I'm not happy at the border, I'm not happy with numerous things, not just this." That might come as a surprise to Sessions, who imposed a zero-tolerance enforcement policy in such a manner as to precipitate a political crisis over family separations. Courts later checked Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, ordering injunctions against such enforcement, but the issue was hardly a reluctance on Sessions' part.
All of this tends to ignore the fact that Trump could make a change at AG any time he likes. Trump has no impediment to firing Sessions or demanding that he resign, which is the same thing. Cabinet secretaries serve at the pleasure of the president. Trump might have one hell of a time getting a nominee through the Senate to replace him, but it's hardly an abuse of power to get rid of him. He can either live with Rod Rosenstein as acting AG or move up Noel Francisco into that position for a few months through the Vacancy Act. Poof! Problem resolved!
Trump just apparently doesn't want to be seen pulling the trigger. Instead, he's trying to shame Sessions into resigning his dream job - and Sessions simply won't cooperate. That's a form of resistance that actually might be more effective at getting under Trump's skin than anything else. Which raises the question: Is Sessions the anonymous Resister who wrote that NYT op-ed? Mika Brzezinski wonders the same thing.

FEMA chief Brock Long under investigation for use of government cars
FEMA Administrator Brock Long is under investigation by the inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security over his use of government vehicles while traveling to North Carolina from Washington, according to a new report.
The inspector general is scrutinizing whether taxpayers inappropriately paid for his travel back home to Hickory, N.C., on the weekends, Politico reported Thursday.
Long used a staff driver for the six-hour drives and his aides stayed in a hotel at taxpayer expense, an official told the news outlet. The department's watchdog became interested in his travel after a government vehicle was involved an in accident.
Long and his boss, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen have also clashed over his travel habits. She brought up the issue of his absences from the office due to his long commutes with him in recent months, the report said.
"We'll continue to fully cooperate with any investigation that goes on and own up to any mistakes and push forward and keep going," Long said during a FEMA briefing Thursday morning.
"I would never intentionally run a program incorrectly," he added. "Doing something unethical is not part of my DNA and it is not part of my track record in my whole entire career. We will work with the OIG."

Here are the Trump officials denying they wrote anonymous New York Times op-ed
Several top officials in President Trump's administration are denying they wrote an opinion piece that was published in the New York Times on Wednesday. The piece, which sent shockwaves through Washington, detailed how administration officials are working to undermine the president and questioned his ability to effectively lead the country. "It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what's right even when Donald Trump won't," the piece said. The writer was granted anonymity and only identified by the paper as a "senior official in the Trump administration."
Here's who has denied writing it:
Vice President Mike Pence released a statement Thursday that said the author and the New York Times "should be ashamed" of writing the "false, illogical, and gutless op-ed." Speculation swirled Wednesday about the possibility that Pence had authored the piece, citing the inclusion of the word "lodestar," which Pence has previously used in speeches. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters that he's not surprised the New York Times, "a liberal newspaper that has attacked this administration relentlessly," printed the opinion piece. Pompeo referred to the unnamed writer as "a disgruntled, deceptive, bad actor." Defense Secretary Jim Mattis denied being the author on Thursday. "It was not his op-ed," chief Pentagon spokesperson Dana White said, according to Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson. Attorney General Jeff Sessions denied he is the author, a Department of Justice spokesperson said. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said through a spokesperson that she has more important matters to focus on than to write an anonymous opinion piece. "These types of political attacks are beneath the Secretary and the Department's mission," the statement said. CIA Director Gina Haspel, according to NBC News.

Top law enforcement officials have countered a claim by Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson that Russian operatives had penetrated some county election systems in his home state of Florida.
In a Monday letter obtained by Fox News, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and FBI Director Christopher Wray told Florida officials that while Russian spies "have previously demonstrated both the intent and capability to conduct malicious cyber operations," there is no current evidence to suggest any meddling in the upcoming midterm elections in November.
"DHS and the FBI will continue to notify any victim of a successful cyber intrusion into their election network in any jurisdiction nationwide," the letter, which was first reported by the Orlando Sentinel, stated.

VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION
The Honorable Kirstjen Nielsen
Secretary
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, D.C. 20528
Dear Secretary Nielsen:
I write to you regarding a disturbing allegation that a 13 year-old-girl seeking entry into the United States was released to an unrelated adult male claiming to be her father, who then raped, assaulted, and abused her.[1] According to reports, Ramon Pedro crossed into the United States at an El Paso, Texas port of entry, and claimed he was traveling with his "daughter." The Committee has learned that Pedro was found inadmissible for failing to possess valid visa documents, was issued an Expedited Order of Removal, and was released with his "daughter" into the interior of the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) processed and released the "family unit" after determining there was no bed space at a family residential center.
Reportedly, the abused girl's mother sent her on the dangerous journey from Guatemala to the United States to accompany Pedro who promised to help her find a job.[2] Pedro undoubtedly understood the likelihood of being released from immigration custody with a "daughter" was higher than making the journey alone. This is a horrific example of how smugglers and other criminals seek to defraud the United States government by creating fraudulent family units and crossing the border illegally.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine how long - or to what extent - the 13 year-old-girl was abused. Pedro was reportedly released with Alternatives to Detention monitoring and required to check in with federal officials. However, despite ATD monitoring, it was only after Pedro and the girl were admitted to a hospital in Fresno, California for tuberculosis screening that doctors discovered that the girl had been sexually assaulted.[3]
Upon discovering the abuse, police arrested Pedro for rape, forcible sexual penetration, child endangerment, and other similar charges.[4] He is being held in detention on $310,000 bond. However, since California is a sanctuary state, it is unlikely Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be notified, meaning Pedro will likely vanish into the community, free to abuse again. According to sources, if ICE had the appropriations to hold Pedro and the girl for less than two weeks while waiting for travel documents back to Guatemala, this terrible tragedy may have never occurred.
It is unconscionable to think that our immigration policies may lead bad actors like Pedro free to exploit and viciously prey on children to get across our border and released into American communities. We must repeal the Flores restriction on keeping children with adults for longer than 20 days in facilities until parentage may be carefully determined. Until this happens, more children remain vulnerable to sexual abuse and assault.
To better understand this situation, please provide knowledgeable staff to brief the Committee on this circumstance, including the ATD monitoring Pedro was subjected to, no later than August, 15, 2018.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Should you have any questions, please contact Katherine Nikas or Aakash Singh of my Committee staff at (202) 224-5225.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Grassley

Judge orders to restore DACA, says Trump admin failed to provide reasons for ending it
A US federal judge has sided with the plaintiffs in a case filed against the Trump administration's move to rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which had sparked a wave of protests in September.
DC District Judge John Bates on Friday upheld his earlier ruling from April 24, that found the White House's decision to scrap the policy, which has shielded about 800,000 migrants from deportation since it was adopted in 2012, was "arbitrary and capricious."
"The Court therefore reaffirms its conclusion that DACA's rescission was unlawful and must be set aside," he wrote in a 25-page opinion on Friday.
The court argued that the memorandum issued by Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in June, that was supposed to offer a legally sound explanation for the government's action, failed "to elaborate meaningfully on the agency's primary rationale for its decision: the judgment that the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional."
Bates contended that although the memo provides several new reasons for the court to review its decision, the majority of them"simply repackage legal arguments previously made." The only one "bona fide (albeit logically dubious) reason" offered by Nielsen was not enough to sway the court's opinion, Bates wrote, since it was "articulated nowhere in DHS's prior explanation for its decision" and hence cannot come into play now.
Calling the renewed justification provided by the department "a hodgepodge of illogical or post hoc policy assertions" that "simply will not do," the court at the same time stressed its ruling does not mean that the DHS is not entitled to rescind the program in principal, but that it "must give a rational explanation" if it wants to do so.
Bates, who in April gave the government a 90-day window so that DHS could come up with what the court will perceive as an adequate rationale to shut down DACA, on Friday provided the Trump administration with only 20 days to decide if it will appeal the ruling and seek a temporary stay in execution.
The decision is an important landmark in the litigation over DACA's validity, that saw the Trump administration being challenged by multiple lawsuits across the country. Should the ruling come into force, The White House will have to restart the DACA program in full.
In his April ruling Bates wrote that if the DHS fails to issue a memo that would prove that the program was unlawful and unconstitutional, as insisted by the government, "the Rescission Memo will be vacated in its entirety, and the original DACA program will be restored in full."
Since US President Donald Trump rescinded the Obama-era program on September 5, the White House has been embroiled in numerous legal battles. While the administration has won some, with Trump praising Judge Roger W. Titus of Maryland, who ruled in March that the President was within his authority to rescind the executive order issued by his predecessor, it has suffered more losses so far.
A California court in January ordered to partially restart the program, while a New York judge in February issued an injunction ordering the government to maintain DACA, although that will not require DHS to accept new applications. Several government appeals are still pending in US courts.
Bates' ruling was applauded by The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a plaintiff in the case, which called it a "huge victory."
"This represents a powerful victory against attempts to dehumanize immigrants who are law-abiding and productive residents of the United States and who were long ago brought to this country as children through no fault of their own," NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson said.

Fake Facebook Groups Orchestrated Real-Life Pro-DACA, Anti-Trump Protests
A foreign influenced Facebook group aimed at sowing discord in the U.S. orchestrated 2017's protests condemning President Donald Trump's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
The group, called "Resistance," successfully influenced thousands of demonstrators into attending a pro-DACA, anti-Trump protests in New York City for an event called "We Stand with DREAMers! Support DACA!" on Sept. 9, 2017, The Hill reported Wednesday.
In Springfield, Ill., Resistance created "The People's Protest. Springfield against Trump" for an Aug. 30 event, where more than 2,000 Facebook users said they were interested in attending. Another 726 Facebook users said they planned on attending.
Other protests with thousands of attendees and similar in nature took place on Sept. 9 in Washington, DC, Boston, and Oakland, Calif., the New York Post reported. It's unclear if the protests in Washington, D.C., Boston, and Oakland, Calif., were orchestrated by the Resistance's "We Stand with DREAMers! Support DACA!" event.
Resistance coordinated a third event with about 4,700 interested in going and another 1,400 planning on attending a protest at Trump tower, called "Protest Trump and ideology of hate at Trump Tower!"
Facebook announced Tuesday that it removed 32 illegitimate pages and posts on Facebook and Instagram aimed at influencing the mid-term elections in November. The Resistance page was one of those Facebook pages, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported. (RELATED: Facebook Inadvertently Labels Ads With 'Bush' Or 'Clinton' In Them As POLITICAL)
"We're still in the very early stages of our investigation and don't have all the facts - including who may be behind this. But we are sharing what we know today given the connection between these bad actors and protests that are planned in Washington next week. We will update this post with more details when we have them, or if the facts we have change," Facebook said in a statement.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on Tuesday that, while she doesn't know which ones, foreign nation-states are behind the campaign on Facebook.
"This threat is very real, and Americans need to know that," Nielsen said on Fox News' "The Daily Briefing." "The Russians, or whoever it is in this case - we haven't attributed it - but Russians and other nation-states absolutely are attempting to manipulate us."

'We are in crisis mode' - DHS secretary issues a stern warning about the election
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen issued a stern warning Tuesday to Russia about meddling in U.S. elections, and said that her department was in "crisis mode" over cybersecurity.
"We are in crisis mode"
Nielsen was addressing an audience at a cybersecurity summit when she directly addressed the assessment by the U.S. intelligence community that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election.
"Our Democracy itself is in the crosshairs," Nielsen said ominously.
"Two years ago, as we all know," she continued, "a foreign power launched a brazen multi-faceted influence campaign to undermine public faith in our democratic process, and to distort our presidential election."
"That campaign was multi-faceted - it involved cyber-espionage, leaks of stolen data, cyber-intrusions into voter registrations systems, online propaganda and more," she added.
"Let me be clear - our intelligence community has it right," Nielsen said.
"It was the Russians," she continued. "We know that, they know that."
"It was directed from the highest levels, and we cannot, and we will not allow that to happen again," Nielsen concluded. "Any attempt to interfere in our elections is a direct attack on our democracy. It is unacceptable and it will not be tolerated."
"We are in crisis mode-the Category 5 hurricane has been forecast and now we must prepare," Nielsen said.

Trump huddles with top officials on election security
President Trump on Friday met with members of the National Security Council about threats to U.S. elections, an issue that has attracted significant attention since Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump convened the meeting to "receive updates on the whole-of-government approach his Administration is implementing to safeguard our Nation's elections," according to a statement from the White House issued Friday evening.
A host of cabinet officials attended the meeting, including Secretary of State Mike Pence, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, as well as John Bolton, Trump's national security adviser.
"The President has made it clear that his Administration will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections from any nation state or other malicious actors," the White House said.
At Friday's meeting, the officials discussed threats to U.S. elections from "malign foreign actors, as well as efforts to help states secure their voting systems from cyber sabotage and federal efforts to "investigate, prosecute, and hold accountable those who illegally attempt to interfere in our political and electoral processes." The statement made no specific mention of Russia.

Four members of Trump's Homeland Security council step down to protest 'morally repugnant' family separation
The Trump administration's immigration policies and the "morally repugnant" practice of separating children from accompanying adults has prompted four people on the Homeland Security advisory council to step down, a new report said.
Former Clinton-era Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig, former Democratic congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman, former DHS deputy attorney counsel in the Obama administration David Martin, and former Obama-era Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Matthew Olsen wrote in a letter Monday to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen that they were resigning.
They said the agency did not confer with the advisory council prior to executing a zero tolerance policy to prosecute all illegal immigrants, which led to the separation children from the adults who crossed with them into the U.S. "Were we consulted, we would have observed that routinely taking children from migrant parents was morally repugnant, counter-productive and ill-considered," they wrote, according to the Washington Post. "We cannot tolerate association with the immigration policies of this administration, nor the illusion that we are consulted on these matters."
Last month, Trump signed an executive order to prevent the splitting up of apprehended immigrant families. The government must reunite separated children between the ages of 5 and 17 with their families later this month, under a court order. Martin and Holtzman sent additional letters to Nielsen in which they condemned other aspects of the administration's immigration policies. This included the administration's attempt to secure a border wall. "These actions have fueled polarization, alienated state and local governments, and moved us much further from a sustainable, effective, and strategically sensible immigration enforcement program," Martin wrote. Holtzman also claimed that Trump's presidency has turned DHS "into an agency that is making war on immigrants and refugees."
The Homeland Security secretary selects advisory council members to fill two-year terms. The members meet periodically and participate in research and recommendations for the agency.

Kushner To Meet With Incoming President Of Mexico
MEXICO CITY - Leftist President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is enjoying a bit of a honeymoon with U.S. President Donald Trump, and he was effusive Tuesday in praising the U.S. leader's restraint in not bringing up his proposed border wall.
Instead of confrontational talk, Lopez Obrador will get a visit by Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, and U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo on Friday. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen also will be at the meeting at Lopez Obrador' campaign headquarters.
One and a half years ago, Trump's insistence on talking about the wall - and insisting Mexico pay for it - forced current President Enrique Pena to cancel his first planned official meeting with Trump.
But on Tuesday, Lopez Obrador said the wall did not even come up in a telephone call that he had with Trump on July 2, the day after his landslide election victory.
"President Trump has been very respectful. He hasn't brought up that topic," Lopez Obrador said of the wall. "And how nice that it hasn't come up."
"I thank him a lot, I say so sincerely, for the respectful treatment we have received from President Trump and the U.S. government," Lopez Obrador said. "We are interested in having a good relationship with the people and government of the United States."
Lopez Obrador, who is to take office Dec. 1, called Friday's meeting "very good news."
He said immigration, development and the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement will be the principle topics.
"We know that the best way to tackle the migration phenomenon and the problems of safety ... is to spur development in Mexico," Lopez Obrador said.
Lopez Obrador said he wants the U.S. to join in an "alliance for progress" to bring development and jobs to Mexico and Central America, a call that hearkened back to President John F. Kennedy's program launched in 1961.
Lopez Obrador has a bit of nostalgia for the 1960s, Mexico's last long sustained period of economic growth, and apparently hopes the U.S. will consider re-launching its own aid program from that era.
"What we want, from Panama to the northern border of Mexico and the United States to the Rio Bravo is for the people to have opportunities for jobs," he said. "That's our central focus."
The Trump administration may be more interested in getting Mexico to agreeing to be considered a "safe third country," meaning asylum seekers from Central America would have to apply for refuge in Mexico rather than at the U.S. border.
Lopez Obrador did not answer when asked if Mexico would consider such an arrangement, noting only that immigration shouldn't involve "coercive measures."
Pompeo had been scheduled to meet with President Enrique Pena Nieto and his foreign minister, Luis Videgaray, and also make a "courtesy" call on Lopez Obrador.
Kushner's last known visit to Mexico was March 7, when he met with Pena Nieto and Videgaray without then-U.S. Ambassador Roberta Jacobson.
Lopez Obrador said Tuesday that since Pompeo will be accompanied by other U.S. officials, he will ask his proposed Cabinet to attend as well.

All around us the organized left (establishment media, Hollywood, and Democrats) are lamenting the loss of civility. Of course, to express this lament, they must first take a break from calling us "Nazis," calling us "cunts," and screaming "fuck you" throughout the halls of the U.S. Capitol.
Oh, and they must also take a break from bullying us out of public spaces and calling for more even more mobs to be vigilant so we face a "life sentence" of bullying.
With no professional consequences, NBC News is not only calling Trump a "Nazi," NBC News is smearing his supporters as "Nazis" - and I do not mean figuratively.
NBC News is not being coy about calling us Nazis. NBC News is not nibbling around the edges of calling us Nazis. NBC News is straight-up calling us Nazis. Why? Because we have no problem with Trump continuing Obama's policy of separating illegal alien adults from children.
"If you vote for Trump then you, the voter, you, not Donald Trump, are standing at the border, like Nazis," a NBC star said on the most establishment media show on television - MSNBC's Morning Joe.
CNN also calls us literal "Nazis," smears us a "white supremacists," and then invents us using the word "nigger."
The media's latest crush, the Democrats new Obama - of course I am talking about Westchester socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, just went on a foreign news service, Al Jazeera, to accuse America of "human rights abuses," even after it was Trump who put an end to the Obama policy of separating adults and children at the border.
Without any professional consequences, a Washington Post reporter appeared on NBC to publicly call for organized mobs to give White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders a "life sentence" of public harassment because she has "no right to live" a peaceful life.
With zero professional consequences, Hollywood is calling us "cunts."
Ivanka Trump is a "cunt." Jeff Sessions is a "cunt." President Trump is a "cunt." Sarah Sanders and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen are "worse than cunts." Ted Cruz supporters are "Republi-cunts." Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is a "cunt" with a "fucking retard making cunt."
In the United States Capitol last week - the United States Capitol - a Democrat screamed "FUCK YOU!" at the president of the United States - the president of the United States - and did not lose her job, but our "civil" media made sure this woman did.
Elsewhere, a sitting Democrat congresswoman called on organized mobs to ensure Trump officials "won't be able to go to a restaurant ... won't be able to stop at a gas station [or] shop at a department store." She told the mob to "to turn on them" and to "harass them." And you had better believe "them" is "us."
For continuing the Obama policy of separating illegal alien adults from children, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) accused Trump of running "internment" camps. The far-left New York Times did the same, as did Democrat billionaire Tom Steyer, as did the left-wing late night comics, as did another Democrat U.S. Senator.
Because "internment" does not incite enough hate, for the sin of continuing Obama's border separation policy, and to the cheers of the establishment media, open borders supporters over the weekend compared Trump to Hitler and declared border housing facilities "concentration camps."
But these mobs were only following the lead of a media that had compared Trump's border enforcement policies to "concentration camps" the week prior.
After being exhausted by this particular line of hate, the establishment media blamed Trump and his supporters for Thursday's mass-murder of five journalists in Maryland.
And then, after calling Trump a "cunt," his daughter a "cunt," his supporters "Nazis," and screaming "fuck you" at him, the media, Democrats, and Hollywood commit their most obscene act with the demand Trump shut up, roll over, and take it. They accuse him of being a "dictator" when he defends himself, and then they sodomize the Constitution by claiming it reads "The Press Shall Not Be Criticized By Those The Press Have Smeared as Nazis Who Run Concentration Camps."

19 ICE investigators call for agency to be disbanded in letter amid 'abolish ICE' protests
Nineteen senior investigators at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have called for the government agency to be disbanded in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
The massive law enforcement agency, which employs more than 20,000 people and was created in 2003 in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, is responsible for both homeland security investigations (known as HSI) and for the deportation of undocumented migrants (known as ERO, for enforcement and removal operations).
The agents' letter, first reported by the Texas Observer, expressed concern that President Trump's crackdown on undocumented migrants has made it more difficult for them to conduct investigations into significant national security issues.
HSI is "supposed to be out there making these major cases, these big cartels that are smuggling guns, drugs, money," Alonzo Peña, a former ICE deputy director, told the Texas Observer. "And because of this whole immigration rhetoric - that immigrants are bad, that they're criminals and rapists and all that - the focus is totally off mission."
The agents, who work to combat things like drugs and arms trafficking, wrote that their investigations "have been perceived as targeting undocumented aliens, instead of the transnational criminal organizations that facilitate cross border crimes impacting our communities and national security."

https://shareblue.com/ice-agents-trump-preventing-investigations-child-porn-terrorism/
And this idea has support from a surprising source: the leaders of ICE's criminal investigative division.
Nineteen special agents in charge of the Leaders of the Homeland Security Investigative Division (HSI) at ICE issued a warning to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen that Trump's anti-immigrant zeal is diverting attention and resources from the prosecution of serious crimes - including terrorism, child pornography, and more.
The 19 agents sent a letter addressed to Nielsen, who has been a public face for Trump lying about the border policy, asking her to create a standalone unit to deal with immigration detention. The investigative unit leaders argue that because ICE is giving HSI a bad name, HSI needs to split off from ICE into a separate agency in order to do its job effectively.
The agents note that ICE investigations "have been perceived as targeting undocumented aliens, instead of the transnational criminal organizations that facilitate cross border crimes impacting our communities and national security."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/06/29/obama-at-beverly-hills-fundraiser-says-gop-mad-even-when-win.html
During an expensive fundraiser in Beverly Hills on Thursday night, former President Barack Obama accused "the other side" of being "angry all the time."
"They're mad even when they win. Have you noticed that?" Obama said during a conversation with Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The assertion contrasted sharply with recent news about public "shaming" of Trump administration officials, such as Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and GOP officials such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
About 200 donors paid anywhere from $2,700 to $100,000 to attend the Obama-Perez discussion, which also included a performance by singer Christina Aguilera, the paper reported.

If (you) were at an establishment and (you) saw Sarah or any other patriot being harrassed or shouted down would (YOU!) idly standby???
I didn't think so. :-)
?Sanders says she was told to leave Virginia restaurant?
WASHINGTON (AP) - White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Saturday in a tweet that she was booted from a Virginia restaurant because she works for President Donald Trump.
Sanders said she was told by the owner of The Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia, that she had to "leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left."
She said the event Friday evening said far more about the owner of the restaurant than it did about her.
"I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so," Sanders said in the tweet from her official account, which generated 22,000 replies in about an hour.
Sanders' treatment at the restaurant created a social media commotion with people on both sides weighing in with their critique, including her father, former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.
"Bigotry. On the menu at (((Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington VA.))) Or you can ask for the 'Hate Plate,'" Huckabee said in a tweet, quickly generating 2,000 replies in about 30 minutes. "And appetizers are 'small plates for small minds.'"
On Yelp, a reviewer of the restaurant from Los Angeles wrote: ((("Don't eat here if you're a Republican, wearing a MAGA hat or a patriot.")))
But many reviewers were also supportive of the restaurant owner's actions.
"12/10 would recommend. Bonus: this place is run by management who stuck up for their beliefs and who are true Americans. THANK YOU!!!!" said a reviewer from Commerce City, Colorado.
No one answered the phone at the restaurant, which was not scheduled to open until the evening. Lexington is about a three-hour drive from the nation's capital and is in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.
The separation of families trying to enter the U.S. at the southern border has intensified political differences and passions that were already at elevated levels during the Trump presidency. Earlier in the week, Trump's homeland security secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, cut short a working dinner at a Mexican restaurant after protesters shouted, "Shame!" until she left.

Not sure if this was discussed already, but did you guys see this?
We are going to need more suction power on the swamp drain to get all the bias out of the DOJ….
And shouldn't there be some rule for DOJ employees to not do the kind of shit she did to Sec. Nielsen in public? Aren't there procedures to follow if you have a complaint against another gov. employee or action they do… besides the fact that these policies they were protesting are not even from the Trump Admin…

Q Research General #2334: "The Longest Day" Edition
National Border Patrol Council Identifies Peter Fonda as a 'Domestic Terrorist' After He Threatened to Kidnap Barron Trump
First Lady Melania called Secret Service after Peter Fonda threatened to kidnap her son, Barron Trump.
Peter Fonda also threatened Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and called for her to be stripped naked and whipped in public.
The unhinged actor went on to say that "Kristjen Nielsen is a lying gash that should be put in a cage and poked at by passersby. The gash should be pilloried in Lafayette Square naked and whipped by passersby while being filmed for posterity."
Threatening government officials of the United States is a felony.
On Thursday, the National Border Patrol Council identified Peter Fonda as a domestic terrorist.

Does this manager/restaurant deserve our attention?
RESTAURANT MANAGER WHERE SECRETARY Nielsen WAS MOBBED 'HAPPY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED'
The Mexican restaurant where Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was swarmed by protesters Tuesday in Washington, D.C., took no action to quell the protesters or ensure Nielsen's safety, a manager told The Daily Caller News Foundation on Wednesday.
"We are not upset the protesters came here and we are not upset even if it was any of our staffers [who tipped off] the protesters," the MXDC Cocina Mexicana manager, who refused to give his name, told TheDCNF. "We are happy about what happened."

RESTAURANT RAT FOUND
Restaurant Manager Where Secretary Nielsen Was Mobbed 'Happy About What Happened'
The Mexican restaurant where Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was swarmed by protesters Tuesday in Washington, D.C., took no action to quell the protesters or ensure Nielsen's safety, a manager told The Daily Caller News Foundation on Wednesday.
"We are not upset the protesters came here and we are not upset even if it was any of our staffers [who tipped off] the protesters," the MXDC Cocina Mexicana manager, who refused to give his name, told TheDCNF. "We are happy about what happened."
Police responded to the incident, USA Today reported. The manager also said that, to his knowledge, no one who worked at the restaurant contacted authorities when the protesters arrived, and that it may have been one of her security detail or another restaurant patron. "We don't know who exactly contacted the police ... we don't know," he said. (RELATED: Office Of First Lady Calls Secret Service After Actor Peter Fonda Calls For Barron Trump To Be Kidnapped)
The manager, who has tan skin and long, grey, hair, expressed his gratitude for President Donald Trump's Wednesday executive order mandating that families be kept together. Trump signed the rule in response to widespread backlash against families being separated at the southern border when crossing into the U.S. illegally.
"We are very happy about what happened this morning, today," the manager said. "We are all Americans ... if [anything that] happened affected ... the decision of the president ... we are proud."
Nielsen was bombarded by socialist protesters who were tipped off that she was eating at MXDC, which was created by chef Todd English, on Tuesday night, according to Refinery29. Protesters yelled "Shame, shame" and "How do you sleep at night?" at Nielsen, who left the restaurant shortly after the protesters arrived.

One of the activists who chased Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen out of a Mexican restaurant Tuesday night over the Trump administration's immigration policies is an employee of the Department of Justice, The Daily Caller News Foundation has confirmed.
Members of the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America crashed Nielsen's meal with a demonstration full of chants and other outbursts.
One of those participants, Allison Hrabar, actually works for the Trump administration - as a paralegal in the DOJ.
"Kirstjen Nielsen, you're a villain, locking up immigrant children," activists can be heard saying in a video.
An employee within the Trump administration initially tipped TheDCNF off about Hrabar's presence at the protest.
The Washington Examiner spoke with Hrabar Wednesday and she defended her behavior as off government time and a use of her First Amendment rights. (RELATED: 'Fascist Pig!' - Chanting Socialists Chase DHS Secretary Nielsen Out Of Mexican Restaurant)
"If you see these people in public, you should remind them that they shouldn't have peace," she told The Examiner. "We aren't the only ones who can do this. Anyone who sees Kirstjen Nielsen at dinner, anyone who sees anyone who works at DHS and ICE at dinner can confront them like this, and that's what we hope this will inspire people to do."
Despite Hrabar's claims of keeping her personal politics outside of her time as an employee of the federal government, a look at her Twitter account, @allisongeroi, features tweets during the workday openly celebrating her behavior Tuesday night.
"Keeping families together in jail is not an acceptable solution," Hrabar tweeted Wednesday afternoon at 1:56 PM.
Following the protest, Hrabar tweeted that, "No one who has ever made their living terrorizing immigrants deserves peace. If you see one in a restaurant, at a movie, or in your neighborhood, remind them of that."
Hrabar has worked at the DOJ since July 2016. Prior to that, she was a student at the selective Swarthmore College where tuition runs over $50,000 annually. She previously attended a charter school in Arizona.
A Justice Department official, after being asked about Hrabar's conduct, told TheDCNF that she cannot comment on personnel issues.

ABA President Hilarie Bass sends letter to DOJ, Homeland Security opposing separation of children
WASHINGTON, June 12, 2018 - American Bar Association President Hilarie Bass sent a letter today to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen expressing the association's strong opposition to recent actions by the Department of Justice and DHS that have resulted in a drastic increase in the separation of children from their parents when arriving at the southern border.
The letter states that the systemic practice of separating parents and children is antithetical to our values as a country, appears to violate longstanding precedent protecting rights to family integrity, burdens the federal criminal justice and immigration adjudication systems, and increases costs to the government. The ABA believes that when families are apprehended and placed in removal proceedings, parents and children should be kept together in the least restrictive environment necessary or released as an appropriate alternative to detention.

BREAKING: First Lady Melania Calls Secret Service After Peter Fonda Threatens to Kidnap Barron Trump
As TGP's Cassandra Fairbanks reported, Academy Award-nominated actor and filmmaker Peter Fonda is calling for Barron Trump to be placed in a cage with pedophiles, children of ICE agents to be threatened, and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to be stripped naked and whipped in public.
First Lady Melania Trump's spokeswoman released a statement Wednesday that the Secret Service has been notified.
Below is a screenshot of Peter Fonda's (Hanoi Jane Fonda's brother) tweet because he deleted his post:
Social media users called for Secret Service to pay the 78-year-old brother of Jane Fonda a visit.
Now this...
First Lady Melania called Secret Service after Peter Fonda threatened to kidnap her son, Barron Trump.
The Daily Caller spoke to First Lady Melania Trump's spokeswoman:
Spokesperson for the First Lady, Stephanie Grisham, has informed the Daily Caller that the Secret Service has been "notified" of the threat. "The tweet is sick and irresponsible and USSS has been notified," Grisham said.
Threatening government officials of the United States is a felony.
Peter Fonda has since deleted his threatening tweet.
There is now a boycott in place for his upcoming film Boundaries, which opens in theaters later this month.

DHS Kirstjen Nielsen speech at Sheriff's Association
(forgive name misspels)
Well, Good Morning! Thank you ALWAYS, uh, to our good friend and advocate, Congressman Scalise. We are so thankful for his leadership, uh, and for his continued support - not only of all of you - but of the Department of Homeland Security.
It's such an honor to join you here today. I'm also happy to be joined by some of my DHS leadership team. I believe we have Matt Albins, Director of ERO, uh, Border Secretary Chief Karish and Flexy (?) Deputy Director Fallens in the audience, and I'll talk a bit more about our leaders who are here from our public and engagement office in a bit.
I'd like to thank Sheriff Evanson for his leadership of the Association this past year, and also to congratulate Sheriff Laten on his new position as incoming President. I had the honor of meeting -uh - Sheriff Laten as well as Sheriff Dannels and others last month on a trip to Arizona where I heard directly from you - from the Sheriffs - and from other law enforcement on the challenges of working along the border.
On behalf of DHS, I look forward to our continued partnership with the NSA, our nation's
Sheriffs, and your Executive Director, Jonathan Thompson (?). Jonathan is a good friend to the
Department - he's no stranger to us - he is a great advocate for YOU and a great partner to the
Department of Homeland Security. Thank you for inviting me to speak here today.
So, as Sheriffs, you – I'm going to tell you something you already know – you are a vital part
of our homeland security team. You TRULY ARE ON the front lines, and so it's a privilege to
be here today to have an opportunity to THANK you for the commendable often dangerous job
you do every day.
Sadly, as was just mentioned earlier, we were reminded of that danger with the loss of two
members of the Sheriff family last week. Deputy Sheriff Teresa King and Deputy Sheriff Patrick
Roher as you know, were killed in the line of duty. And I join all of you in mourning the loss of
these dedicated officers. I also want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with the law
enforcement community ALWAYS. I am ALWAYS praying for the job that you do.
Law enforcement is a calling - for a select few who are tireless, faithful, and dogged in executing
their duty to protect their communities from danger and in honoring their oaths to uphold the
law. On behalf of the men and women of DHS THANK YOU for your dedication and your
sacrifice. Please know that DHS is your partner and will be by your side as we protect our
borders, enforce our immigration laws, and defend our communities.
As many of you know, the DHS is the largest law enforcement agency in the country. I am
proud to support all law enforcement, your passion, your mission, your commitment to FIGHT
for what you need to do to protect your communities. I will always support you, you have an
advocate in me, and just as I do for the men and women of DHS, I will carry the banner to get
you the authorities, tools, and resources that you need to do the job that the American people
ask.
So, on that point - to a select few in the media, Congress, and the advocacy community - I'd like
to start with a message for you - "this Department will no longer stand by and watch you attack
law enforcement for enforcing the laws passed by Congress. We will not apologize for the job
WE do or for the job law enforcement does - for doing the job that the America people expect us
to do."
Unfortunately, for political gain, as we have seen, some politicians are trying to pit State and Local law enforcement officials against Federal officials. This "blue on blue" approach is a disservice to the public and every law enforcement official around the country and it MUST STOP.

John McCain: Separating families is 'an affront to the decency of the American people'
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said separating families is "an affront to the decency of the American people," a rebuke that comes amid widespread backlash to the Trump administration's new zero tolerance policy to prosecute all illegal immigrants. "The administration's current family separation policy is an affront to the decency of the American people, and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded," McCain said Monday evening on Twitter. "The administration has the power to rescind this policy. It should do so now."
The Homeland Security Department confirmed Friday that nearly 2,000 minors were separated from accompanying adults between ports of entry at the border between April 19 and May 31. Minors who are split from their families as a result of the zero tolerance policy will be housed by the Health and Human Services Department.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen argued on Monday that prior administrations also separated children from adults. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen argued on Monday that prior administrations also separated children from adults.
"The Obama administration, the Bush administration all separated families," Nielsen told reporters Monday evening. "They absolutely did. Their rate was less than ours but they absolutely did do this. This is not new."
In the past, families were only separated if a parent-child relationship cannot be verified and if a child was at risk with the adult. In addition to these requirements, all adults now who illegally come to the U.S. between ports of entry instead of a border checkpoint are split from their children. Both Nielsen and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders urged Congress to make legislative changes to the policy.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, revealed Monday that he would introduce legislation in the near future to address the policy. "While these cases are pending, families should stay together. Children belong with their mothers and fathers," Cruz said in a statement.
McCain, 81, revealed in July 2017 he was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, and has been in his home state since Dec. 17 recovering from various treatments.

DHS Secretary Nielsen slams 'irresponsible' media, says no 'policy of separating families at the border'
The head of the Department of Homeland Security bashed the media Sunday for their reporting on the increasingly volatile immigration controversy, writing in a string of tweets: "We do not have a policy of separating families at the border. Period."
Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen added: "This misreporting by Members, press & advocacy groups must stop. It is irresponsible and unproductive. As I have said many times before, if you are seeking asylum for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry."
She noted that no one is "breaking the law by seeking asylum at a port of entry."
The Trump administration, which has called it "horrible" that illegal-immigrant children are sometimes separated from their parents when their parents enter criminal proceedings, has been criticized in recent weeks for increasing the prosecutions of illegal immigrants under a "zero-tolerance" policy that critics say leads to those separations.

FEMA Is Spending Billions, and Some Questionable Companies Are Getting Work
A surge in disaster contracts from hurricanes has put the agency under pressure to bypass the usual competitive bidding process.
Federal watchdogs have warned FEMA about situations like this. In 2015 the U.S. Government Accountability Office found the agency still hadn't fully implemented changes to its contracting process that were legislated by Congress after Hurricane Katrina. It cited FEMA's "risk of developing gaps in contract oversight during major disasters." Kirstjen Nielsen, President Trump's nominee to head the Department of Homeland Security, was George W. Bush's head of the Homeland Security Council Prevention, Preparedness and Response directorate. That body was "at the apex of the policy coordination framework for responding to Hurricane Katrina," according to the 2006 Katrina postmortem by a congressional commission.
One risk is that contractors with questionable track records get taxpayer money again. Since Harvey, FEMA has awarded $215 million to a company called Composite Analysis Group Inc. to provide bottled water. According to a federal contractor database, Composite Analysis is also called Lipsey Mountain Spring Water Inc., which got $81 million in 2005 for services that included providing bottled water to areas hit by Hurricane Katrina. Lipsey missed at least 9 of 14 deadlines, failed to document its orders properly, submitted "improper or inaccurate documentation," and was paid $881,000 in unsupported costs, the U.S. Department of Defense's inspector general later concluded. Composite Analysis didn't respond to a request for comment. FEMA declined to answer questions about its vetting of the company.

Homeland Security proposes halting 'startup visas' for foreign entrepreneurs
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday proposed ending a rule that allows international entrepreneurs to temporarily stay in the U.S. to help develop their businesses in the country.
DHS said it wants to eliminate the Obama-era rule on so-called "startup visas" because it believes "it represents an overly broad interpretation of parole authority, lacks sufficient protections for U.S. workers and investors, and is not the appropriate vehicle for attracting and retaining international entrepreneurs."
DHS's proposal will be officially posted Tuesday, kicking off a 30-day public comment period.
The proposal from DHS comes the same day it announced it would allow 15,000 more seasonal workers into the country in 2018 under the H-2B visa program. The workers will be available for businesses at risk of failing without the extra workforce.
Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said that move was intended to offset the problems with the H-2B visa program that had led to "a situation where the program unintentionally harms American businesses."
Nielsen's decision comes almost a month after it was reported that Maryland's crab industry lost about half of its workforce - an effect of the Trump administration more stringent controls on temporary work visas.

Kirstjen Nielsen says she hasn't seen 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russian meddling
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said she hasn't yet seen the 2017 intelligence community assessment that said the Russian government interfered in the 2016 election to help get Donald Trump elected as president.
"I do not believe that I've seen that conclusion," Nielsen told reporters after a classified election security briefing early Tuesday.
The 2017 assessment said Russian President Vladimir Putin and his government "developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump. We have high confidence in these judgments. We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him."
The 2017 report also said the CIA and FBI have "high confidence" in the judgment, and the NSA has "moderate confidence."
"The specific intent was to help President Trump win? I'm not aware of that, but I do generally have no reason to doubt any intelligence assessment," Nielsen said when pressed.
Later, Nielsen said she believed Russia was out to create total confusion in the election.
"What we have seen the Russians do is attempt to manipulate public confidence on both sides," she said. "So we've seen them encourage people to go to a protest on one side, we've seen them simultaneously encourage people to go to that protest on the other side."
Last week, the Senate Intelligence Committee completed its own review of the 2017 assessment after 14 months, to which Chairman Richard Burr, R-NC, said he had "no reason to dispute the conclusions" of that report.
"After a thorough review, our staff concluded that the ICA conclusions were accurate and on point. The Russian effort was extensive, sophisticated, and ordered by President Putin himself for the purpose of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton," said Sen. Mark Warner, the committee's top Democrat.
The House Intelligence Committee, led by Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., also investigated 2016 election interference. In a report released in April, the committee said that it agreed with all of the 2017 assessment, "except with respect to Putin's supposed preference for candidate Trump."

Why do they want a CLASSIFIED briefing?
Pelosi presses Ryan for classified briefing on election security
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is pressing Republican leaders for a classified briefing on efforts to secure the country's election security ahead of the midterms later this year.
In a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Pelosi said the decision by Republicans to hold an unclassified meeting scheduled for Thursday fails to recognize "the gravity of the assault on our electoral system."
"Only a classified briefing would address the seriousness of the attack on our democracy," she wrote.
Thursday's briefing is designed to update lawmakers on steps the Trump administration is taking to prevent similar attempts to meddle in the November midterms. Providing that update will be Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Democrats, who have urged such a briefing for months, have pushed back on the unclassified nature of the meeting.

This neocon swamp bitch Kirstjen Nielsen will be next to feel the wrath of POTUS. He trusted her to do her job and she let him down bigly by allowing the Caravan people to get into the country.
I love my president, but disagreed with his decision to hire this Bush lackey to run DHS. All she does is run her mouth. He should give that job to a man. A tough one…like Sheriff Clarke.
POTUS doesn't forget people who try to screw him over or make him look foolish. Kirstjen Nielsen will soon be gone.
POTUS should consider breaking up the DHS back into its original agencies again before Bush messed it up. It is way too big and has become unmanageable. Immigration services and enforcement needs to become its own agency agency. And Ms. Nielsen needs to go away. 45 years old and no husband or children…likely a lesbian cat lady who would do well to stay home with the cats.

Has no one else noticed that the migrant caravan is now at the border and that neither CBP nor USCIS seems to have a clue what to do? The idiot Kirstjen Nielsen at DHS keeps saying that Mexico has to offer them asylum, and the Mexican government is laughing at her.
Every last one of those people are going to get into the country, and once they set foot here a judge in California will block their deportation. Just watch. And the RINOs in the Congress are in collusion with the Dems for the influx of illegals to continue. WTF is happening. Why do we just take this bullshit and allow it to go on and on and on. How much more of everybody else's crap can this country take? I really wonder sometimes.
POTUS needs a better Homeland Defense Secretary and a better way of temporarily securing the border. Q said more than once recently that securing the southern border was a priority…What happened to the plan to send the Guard there?

100 Migrants From Infamous "Caravan" Prepare For Border Crossing After Arriving In Mexicali
by Tyler Durden
Tue, 04/24/2018 - 23:35
Despite President Trump's threat to make stopping migrants from Central America a condition of a revised NAFTA agreement, the second part of a caravan of migrants arrived Tuesday afternoon in the border state of Mexicali, Buzzfeed reported, after refusing the Mexican government's offer to let them stay in Mexico.
The migrants, who arrived following a bus trip from the city of Hermosillo, located in the Mexican state of Sonora, are expected to be followed by as many as 500 more Tuesday night and Wednesday - setting them up for a showdown with national guard soldiers and ICE agents who have been instructed to stop them from entering the country.
While media attention to the caravan has dropped in recent weeks, the Trump administration has been keeping a watchful eye on the caravan's progress. Kirstjen Nielsen, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said Monday that her agency was monitoring "the remnants" of the caravan.
"If members of the 'caravan' enter the country illegally, they will be referred for prosecution for illegal entry in accordance with existing law," Nielsen said in a statement. "For those seeking asylum, all individuals may be detained while their claims are adjudicated efficiently and expeditiously, and those found not to have a claim will be promptly removed from the United States."
Attorney General Jeff Sessions also issued a statement Monday, saying the migrants and "their smugglers" had ignored the willingness of the Mexican government to allow them to stay in Mexico.
"Our nation has the most generous immigration system in the world, but this is a deliberate attempt to undermine our laws and overwhelm our system. There is no right to demand entry without justification," Sessions said in a statement. "Promoting and enforcing the rule of law is essential to protecting a nation, its borders, and its citizens. But, as President Trump has warned, the need to fix these loopholes and weaknesses in our immigration system is critical and overdue."
Unsurprisingly, the expanded federal border enforcement has drawn the ire of immigrants rights groups, who are accusing the federal government of ignoring asylum laws.
"The efforts of US officials to tarnish asylum seekers as criminals are cynical fabrications that ring hollow," the statement said, attributing the comment to Erika Guevara Rosas, the group's Americas director.
Officials of Pueblos Sin Fronteras, the volunteer group that organized the caravan, have said throughout the journey that migrants have the right to ask the US for asylum and that the United States must grant them the opportunity to do so.
Tristan Call, an organizer with Pueblos Sin Fronteras, said the US is trying to punish people who have a right to ask for asylum.
"The United States is punishing them so they won't be able to get asylum," Call told reporters outside Hotel del Migrante, a migrant shelter in Mexicali. "They're punishing the most vulnerable people. These are people who the last thing they saw was their home in ashes. The last thing they saw was a funeral."
Alex Mensing, an organizer with Pueblos Sin Fronteras, said the right to refuge is established in US law.
Some in the migrant caravan have already moved on to Tijuana, their final destination in Mexico before they attempt the treacherous crossing. Nearly all of the caravan's members - who once numbered more than 1,000 - are fleeing violence in Central America. Many are from Honduras, where gangs control virtually every aspect of daily life.

Arizona, Texas prepare to send Guard to US-Mexico border
https:// www.yahoo.com/news/texas-national-guard-says-preparing-212151420.html
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Arizona and Texas announced Friday that they were preparing to deploy National Guard members to the U.S.-Mexico border in response to President Donald Trump's call for more border security.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said about 150 Guard members would deploy next week. And the Texas Military Department, the umbrella agency over the Texas National Guard branches, said on its Twitter account that it would hold a Friday night news conference on its preparations, though further details were not immediately available.
Trump told reporters Thursday that he wants to send between 2,000 and 4,000 National Guard members to the border to help fight illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez's office said Friday that it had not yet deployed any Guard members. The office of California Gov. Jerry Brown did not respond to questions about whether it would deploy troops.
That would be lower than the roughly 6,000 National Guard members that former President George W. Bush sent in 2006 during another border security operation, though more than the 1,200 Guard members President Barack Obama sent in 2010.
A spokesman for Ducey said Friday that the deployment would be funded under a federal law called Title 32. Under that law, the National Guard remains under the command and control of each state's governor, but receives federal pay and benefits. The deployments under Bush and Obama also occurred under Title 32.
Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday blaming "the lawlessness that continues at our southern border." Earlier, he said he wanted to use the military to secure the southern border until his proposed border wall was built. Congress has largely refused to fund Trump's full request for the wall.
After plunging at the start of his presidency, the numbers of migrants apprehended at the southwest border have started to rise in line with historical trends. The Border Patrol said it caught around 50,000 people in March, more than three times the number in March 2017. That's erased a decline for which Trump repeatedly took credit. Border apprehensions still remain well below the numbers when Bush and Obama deployed the Guard to the border.
News reports of a caravan of Central American migrants passing through southern Mexico also sparked angry tweets from the president. The caravan of largely Central American migrants never intended to reach the U.S. border, according to organizer Irineo Mujica. But Trump has repeatedly cited it as an example of what he called America's weak immigration laws.
Department of Homeland Security officials have said Guard members could support Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement agencies. DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said this week that guard members could "help look at the technology, the surveillance," and that the department might ask for fleet mechanics. Federal law restricts the military from carrying out law enforcement duties.
From 2006 to 2008, the Guard fixed vehicles, maintained roads, repaired fences and performed ground surveillance. Its second mission in 2010 and 2011 involved more aerial surveillance and intelligence work.
Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, now Trump's energy secretary, also sent about 1,000 Guard members to the border in 2014 in response to a surge in the number of unaccompanied immigrant children crossing the Rio Grande, the river that separates the U.S. and Mexico in the state.
About 100 Guardsmen remain deployed as part of that existing state mission.

>The QAnon Anonymous podcast is quite shilly
It's more than just shilly--it's the center of a disinformation campaign run by Travis View, who just gave a presentation at a StratCom in early Nov. Not sure who is running the conference but probably the Soros-funded Atlantic Council. Supporters: Embassy of Sweden, Google, UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office, European Union, some dept in Lithuania (print tiny), and Lennar International.
Just went over the conference speaker list last night. Lots of DS heavy-hitters, from disinformation groups like the Atlantic Council, German Marshall Fund, Graphika, Institute for Strategic Dialogue (has produced a major anti-Q report). People from NATO, the CFR, and Homeland Security (ex-Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen was keynote speaker--she's done events like this before).

Scott Morrison's new cyber army to confront digital spy threat
Australia will launch an unprecedented cyber defence and intelligence warfare program with an army of 500 newly trained specialists tasked with protecting the country from attack and hunting down spies.
After revealing earlier this month the country had come under a broadscale and sustained foreign-based cyber hack targeting all levels of government and critical infrastructure operators, Scott Morrison on Tuesday will announce a $1.35bn boost to cyber defences across the next decade.
Resources will be poured into the military cyber capabilities of the Australian Signals Directorate and Australian Cyber Security Centre amid a rapid escalation in malicious state-based cyber attacks. While the ASD's intelligence capabilities are a closely held secret, the addition of 500 specialists, at a cost of $470m, will deliver a "massive" boost to the defence agency.
The announcement comes amid rising tensions between Canberra and Beijing over the level of foreign interference believed to be originating from China, which has also been cited as being responsible for the latest hack into Australian systems.
In 2016, Australia became one of the first Western powers to declare the use of "offensive" cyber capability. Known as the Cyber Enhanced Situational Awareness and Response (CESAR) package, it will form a centrepiece of the government's 2020 Cyber Security Strategy, due to be released ahead of the October 6 budget.
The government claimed the new response would escalate the country's ability to disrupt threats but also provide real-time intelligence to help businesses actively repel attacks. More than $100m is believed to be dedicated to new artificial intelligence technology to "neutralise" foreign cyber threats.
The ASD will also launch a "strategic mitigation" offensive to actively disrupt foreign actors targeting telecommunications infrastructure.
The cyber announcement comes ahead of a major defence and national security statement to be delivered on Wednesday by the Prime Minister and amid continued mass hacking attempts, which The Australian understands increased last week.
Mr Morrison said "malicious cyber activity against Australia is increasing in frequency, scale and sophistication". "The federal government's top priority is protecting our nation's economy, national security and sovereignty. Malicious cyber activity undermines that," he said.
"My government's record investment in our nation's cyber security will help ensure we have the tools and capabilities … to fight back and keep Australians safe."
Defence Minister Linda Reynolds said the $1.35bn investment would help ring-fence government agencies, sensitive infrastructure and private sector industry. "The package will put our nation on the front foot in combating cyber threats and our investment in a cyber security workforce will help ensure we have the people we need to meet future cyber challenges," Senator Reynolds said.
"For example, this package will enable ASD and Australia's major telecommunications providers to prevent malicious cyber activity from reaching millions of Australians by blocking known malicious websites and computer viruses at speed. This package is one part of our $15bn investment … that will form part of Defence's 2020 Force Structure Plan to address the rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape."
The new 10-year program includes $31m to "enhance the ability of ASD to disrupt cyber crime offshore, taking the fight to foreign criminals that seek to target Australians, and providing assistance to federal, state and territory law enforcement agencies".
A further $35m would be used to deliver a new cyber threat-sharing platform, enabling industry and government to share intelligence about malicious cyber activity, and block emerging threats in near-real time.
Mr Morrison this month pledged "significant investment" would be pumped into beefing up cyber security defences as part of the government's updated 2020 Cyber Security Strategy.
The Cyber Security Strategy industry advisory panel, appointed by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton late last year, is chaired by Telstra chief Andy Penn and includes former US secretary of homeland security Kirstjen Nielsen, Tesla chair Robyn Denholm and NBN chief security officer Darren Kane.

ScoMo's secret cyber weapon: PM hires Trump cabinet secretary who led global campaign against Huawei to protect Australia against hacking attacks
One of Donald Trump's former cabinet secretaries who led the fight against tech giant Huawei is advising Australia on how to combat Chinese espionage.
Kirstjen Nielsen, the former US secretary of homeland security, has joined the federal government's industry advisory panel on cyber security.
As one of President Trump's key advisers, Ms Nielsen was instrumental in driving the American ban on Huawei installing 5G mobile technology.
In early 2018, she lobbied former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull to ban Huawei from being connected to this critical piece of infrastructure.
In August of that year Mr Turnbull, in one of his last acts as PM, barred Huawei from being allowed to set up any part of Australia's 5G network, adding to a 2012 ban on the company installing the National Broadband Network.
Ms Nielsen quit as President Trump's homeland security secretary in April 2019 and in November of last year joined the Australian government's industry advisory panel on cyber security, although it wasn't announced at the time.
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton's office on Wednesday confirmed she had joined this panel, chaired by Telstra chief executive Andy Penn.
His spokeswoman issued a statement to Daily Mail Australia:
'Ms Nielsen brings a wealth of cyber security knowledge to the Panel from her experience in defending U.S. Government and critical infrastructure networks from cyber security attacks,' it said.
'She will provide valuable insights on how Australia can work with its international partners to address global cyber security threats from nation states and criminal groups.'
Mr Turnbull's successor Scott Morrison on Friday last week revealed a 'sophisticated state-based actor' had been targeting companies, hospitals, schools and government officials.
He didn't name China as the culprit of these cyber attacks but intelligence experts were quick to suggest Australia's biggest trading partner was responsible, in retaliation for the ban on Huawei installing 5G.
Ms Nielsen's appointment was announced as a Lowy Institute poll found just 23 per cent of Australians trusted China, half the level of a year ago.
Former Labor prime minister Julia Gillard's government banned Huawei from installing the National Broadband Network in March 2012.
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute's director of national security strategy Michael Shoebridge said Chinese law compelled technology companies to cooperate with government agencies for intelligence gathering purposes.
'The fact that a sophisticated state actor, almost certainly Beijing, is conducting persistent intrusive cyber attacks against a range of Australian organisations across government and many sectors of the economy simply highlights the need to secure Australia's digital critical infrastructure,' he told Daily Mail Australia.
Mr Shoebridge said the revelations of recent days justified the 2018 ban on Huawei installing 5G, which is also policy in the United States.
'Giving the technology firms of a country whose government conducts such cyber attacks against Australia the ability to build key chunks of our digital backbone in the form of 5G would only give that state access to be even more successful cyber intruders than they are without such internal access and knowledge,' he said.
'It's hard to see how that could be in Australia's interests - or the interests of other governments internationally who face the same risks.'
On Friday, intelligence sources told the ABC that China's hacking of Australian data bases was a retaliation at Huawei being barred from installing 5G.
Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei was a member of the People's Liberation Army before founding his technology company in 1987.

DHS chief calls on officials in all 50 states to have 'verifiable' ballots by 2020 election
https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/403148-dhs-chief-calls-on-election-officials-in-all-50-states-to-have
By Olivia Beavers - 08/22/18 06:42 PM EDT
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Wednesday called on election officials in all 50 states to ensure that ballots used during the 2020 presidential election are able to be audited.
Nielsen told a group of reporters touring the Department of Homeland Security's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) in Arlington, Va., that she wants "all state and local election officials to make certain that by the 2020 presidential election, every American votes on a verifiable and auditable ballot."
"Our systems must be resilient. We must be able to demonstrate that the votes count and that they are counted correctly," she added.
Nielsen listed three ways states could audit their ballots: By using paper ballots, machines that print out an individual's vote so it can be verified that the machine correctly tabulated their choice, or using machines that send a duplication transmission when someone votes.
The DHS chief indicated that she will not direct states on what method to use, but said states should maintain a system of verifiable ballots in order to ensure trust in the election system.

President Donald Trump chooses Kirstjen Nielsen to be the next Homeland Security secretary, multiple reports said. Nielsen is White House chief of staff John Kelly's deputy in the West Wing and at DHS before that. She served in Homeland Security roles during the George W. Bush administration. She was sworn in on Dec 6th
The secret service is under Homeland Security.
The White House Communications Agency (WHCA), originally known as the White House Signal Corps (WHSC) and then the White House Signal Detachment (WHSD), was officially formed by the United States Department of War on 25 March 1942 under President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
They are the ones that pick the secret service code names.

I know members of the secret service hate Clinton, because she's always mean to them,, and if they knew Obama was corrupt and evil,, I think there are still many good people within the secret service. Q has mentioned them,, as source of info, location of those about to be arrested. And now they have a new Homeland Security head( their new boss, besides president, and military)

>USSS is NOT CIA
Of course not.
USSS is a component of DHS.
They have both an investigative and prtoective mission. The investigative mission includes Joint Terrorism Task Force, High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas, and National Center for Missiong & Exploited Children (interesting, no?).
The DHS is a cabinet department, meaning that it reports to POTUS. And, notably, POTUS's nominee Kirstjen Nielsen was just sworn in yesterday. Timing is signifcant, eh?
So POTUS has /hisgal/ in at head of DHS, who directs the USSS. The USSS has "known all along". The USSS takes virtually the exact same vow as military members, to protect the country from enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.
If these crumbs are all saying what I think they're saing, the USSS will be involved in the takedown of the cabal.

That makes sense, certainly a possibility. Explains why the Saudis jumped on board with Aramco hitting the NYSE. KSA/MbS get to keep their wealth and the wealth they seized from Dopey and Co., allowing it to strengthen against the redshield control scheme.
Would also coincide with the post re: Renee James - cunt might use her position to fuck up that transition.
Follow that up with Kirstjen Nielsen being sworn in as Sec. Homeland Security - she can move in and lay waste to Renee James if SHTF.
