Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's steadfast refusal to say how many illegal immigrants have been allowed by federal immigration officials to enter the United States in recent years, or their current whereabouts, shows he knows that it's a national security threat but won't acknowledge it, according to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

“The security threat is that we don't know who these people are—1.7 million known gotaways," Mr. Johnson told The Epoch Times. "We're just detecting them coming in. Plus, we have no idea where these people are. We just let 6 million people in this country, and we don't know a thing about them, [or] what they may be up to.

"In a dangerous world, that's a real threat to . . . Read more about Mayorkas Won't Say How Many Illegal Immigrants Admitted Into US, During Tense Exchange With Sen. Johnson

As Americans mark the 22nd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans, President Joe Biden’s administration is overseeing a surge in illegal aliens crossing the United States-Mexico border who are on the government’s “Terrorist Watch List.”

Since October 2022, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has encountered149 illegal aliens at the nation’s northern and southern borders who were revealed to be listed on the federal government’s Terrorist Watch List.

The overwhelming majority, 146, were encountered at the southern border, while three have been encountered at the northern border. . . . Read more about Nearly 150 Illegal Aliens on ‘Terrorist Watch List’ Encountered at U.S. Border in Past Year

It might appear that everyone in the Biden Regime and Treason Lobby is on the same page with respect to the illegal-alien invasion. All are united in wanting to dispossess the Historic American Nation. But, amazingly, high-level bureaucrats are squabbling with low-level bureaucrats and with Treason Lobby “charities.” Treasoncrats inside the Refugee, Asylum and International Operations Directorate of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services are conspiring with communist front groups like the American Civil Liberties Union to expand the current Biden Regime Administrative Amnesty via litigation. The Amnesty’s Asylum rules, they allege in federal court, are too restrictive . . . Read more about Crazy Treason Lobby Infighting Roils The Biden Border Amnesty

Washington, D.C.) —The following statements were issued by Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in response to the June border encounter data released by Customs and Border Protection:

“Encounters of illegal migrants by the Border Patrol at the Southwest Border were down in June, but only because the Biden administration has invented other means of allowing large numbers of inadmissible aliens to enter the country. While Customs and Border Protection data highlights the decline in the number of people entering between ports of entry along the southern border, the number of encounters nationwide remained an unacceptably high 211,575 last month, or more than 7,000 per day. . . .

An illegal alien, wanted for murder in El Salvador, has been captured and deported from the United States years after he was released into the nation’s interior by former President Obama’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

In October 2016, Josue Salvador Hernandez Portillo arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border near Hidalgo, Texas, from El Salvador and was apprehended by Border Patrol agents. A month later, Portillo was given a Notice to Appear (NTA) in federal immigration court and allowed to bond out of DHS custody. . . .

The city of Los Angeles, California, has officially declared itself a “sanctuary city” to shield criminal illegal aliens from arrest and deportation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency — a decision that will enshrine the policy into its municipal code.

This week, the Los Angeles City Council made the official move to codify the region’s sanctuary policy, whereas prior directives were merely symbolic and thus subject to changes.

The sanctuary city designation, which mirrors California’s sanctuary state law, dictates that no city resources are used for federal immigration enforcement — barring local agencies from cooperating with ICE agents to turn criminal illegal aliens over for deportation. . . .
