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. . . .

EAGLE PASS, Texas — Texas Department of Public Safety troopers are now charging arrested migrants who cross the Rio Grande with criminal trespass after attempting to breach temporary border walls in the heart of downtown Eagle Pass. As Breitbart Texas watched along the Rio Grande on Friday, one group of migrants was arrested by Highway Patrol troopers from Texas and Florida after managing to move through a stretch of concertina wire.

Breitbart Texas observed the group of six migrants as they emerged from the river and were swiftly taken into custody by the troopers. The group of migrants from Honduras and Venezuela was later featured in a tweet by a Texas Highway Patrol spokesperson who says the group now faces criminal trespass charges. . . .

Homeland Security to task for announcing the time and place of a raid to apprehend people who entered the country illegally.

CNN White House correspondent Priscilla Alvarez tweeted Monday night, “NEWS: Federal authorities will conduct an enforcement op in El Paso, Texas, targeting migrants who crossed the US-Mexico border and were not processed by immigration authorities, starting Tuesday.”

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, who has been reporting extensively from the southern border, replied, “From a strategic standpoint, it is puzzling that DHS would announce this publicly via a press release . . .

A source operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection not authorized to speak to the media on these matters told Breitbart Texas that agents apprehended more than 37,000 migrants in April. The monthly total represents an increase of more than 100 percent from the nearly 18,000 migrants apprehended in March. It also exceeds the total apprehensions for February and March combined — just under 33,000.

The tremendous spike in migrant apprehensions in April come just ahead of the expected demise of the CDC’s Title 42 coronavirus protection protocol that allows Border Patrol agents to expel migrants for health concerns. That program will reportedly end on May 11. . . . Read more about EXCLUSIVE: April Migrant Apprehensions in South Texas Border Sector Double Prior Month

At a House Homeland Security Committee hearing held in McAllen, Texas, BorderPatrol Chief Raul Ortiz contradicted claims by the White House and his direct boss, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, that we have operational control of our southern border. In response to a question posed by Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.), “Does DHS have operational control of our entire border?” Ortiz replied, “No sir.” 

Operational control is a statutorily defined term meaning “the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics and other contraband.” Not only did Ortiz concede that that is not the case, he made it clear that under the Biden administration, meeting the legal requirement of operational control is not even a goal of this administration. . . .
