Federal immigration authorities previously released two illegal immigrants who are now accused of killing a 12-year-old Houston girl — but a congressional report says there were plenty of detention beds available to keep in custody. The Houston Police Department last week arrested Franklin Joe Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Martinez Rangel, 22, both Venezuelan nationals, for the strangulation killing of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, several days after her body was found in a local creek. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that both men were released into the country on the same day they unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, but...

While the mass migration crisis has overwhelmingly taken place at the southern border between the United States and Mexico, there is a similar record-breaking surge across the northern border between the United States and Canada as well... data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shows that fiscal year 2024 has currently seen 12,859 illegal aliens cross the northern border. This marks a far larger amount than the previous three fiscal years under Joe Biden. By comparison, there were just 916 northern border crossings in fiscal year 2021, followed by 2,238 in fiscal year 2022, and 10,021 in fiscal year 2023....

Judge Josh Hill set Ramos’s bail at $10 million.. ... One of the illegal aliens who faces charges of raping and murdering 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray wore an ICE ankle monitor during the attack. We already know neither of the accused illegal aliens should have been in the U.S. ... Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, one of the suspects behind the murder, appeared in court Monday at Harris County Criminal Court, where it was revealed that he was wearing the ankle monitor at the time he allegedly murdered Nungaray. The ankle bracelet was provided to him when he was arrested by...

Governor Ron DeSantis’ crackdown on illegal immigrants seems to be paying off in more ways than one, according to a recent report. The governor’s multi-pronged effort to reduce illegal immigration in Florida has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of taxpayer dollars going to fund healthcare for those residing in the country illegally. The governor signed a law last year requiring hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients about their legal immigration status when they seek treatment. The legislation does not compel patients to answer the question, but immigrant rights groups argued that it would discourage them from...

A New York Post article in June reported that welfare offices and other government agencies in 49 states were providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship. Of course, this is complete lawlessness, and it is being facilitated by government officials. Illegal aliens have no rights at all to vote in US elections. Elon Musk weighed in on this corrupt practice earlier today. Elon Musk: Another “conspiracy theory” turns out to be true.

MSNBC host Symone Sanders scolded her guests for using the ‘illegal’ immigrants on her show this week. While discussing the recent murder of Americans at the hands of those who have come into the U.S. illegally, Sanders seemed to be more concerned for the perpetrators, not the victims.

Before we get into this abysmal segment, let’s not forget that this network is doing its job: keeping liberal blood pressures low by feeding the sheep grade-A liberal propaganda. It’s not a shock that MSNBC host Joy Reid and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) would label the rape of a minor by an illegal alien as “fearmongering.” I’m not sure it is, given that it’s true. An illegal alien was busted for raping a 13-year-old in Queens, New York, this week (via ABC 7 NY): A 25-year-old Ecuadorian has been arrested in connection with the "horrific" rape of a 13-year-old girl...

President Trump on Tuesday responded to Biden’s announcement today of mass amnesty for likely millions of illegal immigrants and presented the crowd at his Wisconsin rally with a graph showcasing the explosion of illegal immigration immediately when Joe Biden was fraudulently installed in the White House. “Joe Biden wants to be the President for illegal aliens. But I will be the President for law-abiding Americans. Every background, every walk of life, every race, religion, color, and creed, I’ll be the President,” said Trump before displaying the harrowing graph. Later, Trump declared, “We will not be fighting for the Biden illegals,...

An illegal alien from Mexico, deported 16 times from the United States, is accused of killing a 64-year-old man from Bailey, Colorado, in a vehicle crash. Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza, a 47-year-old illegal alien, has been arrested and charged with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, reckless driving, and driving without a commercial driver’s license in connection to the death of 64-year-old Scott Miller. According to the Colorado State Patrol, Cruz-Mendoza was driving a semi-truck for the Indio, California-based Monique Trucking company on Highway 285 near Conifer, Colorado, when the vehicle veered off the road, causing the pipe and angle iron he was carrying...

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the U.S. will count their blessings on Saturday as they mark a new anniversary of a program that has let them stay in the country, study and work and build lives. Millions more who arrived here as children and don't qualify for it are wishing they'd been so lucky. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program began 12 years ago Saturday. While its beneficiaries hope to have had a permanent legal status in the U.S. by now, they also are celebrating the educations, better paying jobs, families and homes they've been able...

Fellow Citizens of Springfield Illinois and Sangamon County Illinois. Just an update on your City Council and County Board elected Officials. Months ago both bodies of city and County government received and ordinance written by a Illinois States attorney and Immigration Lawyers out of Washington D. C. They were kindly asked publicly to consider the Ordinance to protect our city and county Tax Payer dollars from being drained, (Just like Chicago) We asked them to consider it in one form or another. CRICKETS! Below you can read the simple, Logical request to protect Tax Payers. Sounds like they need to...

In celebrating 12 years since former President Barack Obama created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said DACA illegal aliens are “the future of our country.” In 2021, Obama created the DACA program via executive order after Durbin and former Sen. Orrin Hatch’s (R-UT) “DREAM Act” amnesty legislation failed to pass Congress. The program has shielded more than 800,000 illegal aliens from deportation from the United States. Commemorating 12 years of the program, Durbin spoke on the Senate floor on Wednesday, calling DACA illegal aliens not only “the future” of the United States, but...

U.S. law enforcement and immigration officials have launched more than 100 investigations of crimes tied to suspected members of a violent Venezuelan gang, including sex trafficking in Louisiana and the point-blank shooting of two New York City police officers, according to two Department of Homeland Security officials. The cases involving the Tren de Aragua gang show how hard it is for U.S. border agents to vet the criminal backgrounds of migrants from countries like Venezuela that won’t give the U.S. any help. More than 330,000 Venezuelans crossed the U.S. border last year, according to Customs and Border Protection data, and...

Biden’s Border Bloodbath. A beloved grandmother and great-grandmother were tragically killed in a car crash on M-53 in Shelby Township, Michigan last Thursday. 63-year-old Crystal Brunn and her 88-year-old mother were killed after Jose Eugeno Medina-Hernandez, an illegal alien, rear-ended a car, causing a multi-vehicle pileup. According to reports, Jose Eugeno Medina-Hernandez was driving a box truck rented from Enterprise. Prosecutors charged the illegal with misdemeanors: ‘Moving violation causing death.’ ..... Snip..... According to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s office, Medina-Hernandez was charged with two counts of Moving Violation Causing Death (one year misdemeanors and a $2,000 fine).

CHICAGO (WLS) -- City officials said a one-night snapshot of the number of people experiencing homeless in Chicago shows the unhoused population has tripled year over year. Officials say migrants have played a big role in the growing number as well. The snapshot released by the city shows nearly 19,000 people experienced homelessness on a single night in January, roughly three times the number reported in the same analysis in 2023, due in large part to the influx of migrants. "Since August of 2022, we have welcomed more than 43,000 asylum seekers who have crossed the southwest border and traveled...

Joe Biden’s new executive order for asylum seekers is a total scam. Joe Biden last Tuesday held a fake border security press conference on his new asylum ‘restrictions’ from the East Room. More than 15 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age males – have invaded the US on Biden’s watch. Joe Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days in office to destroy the border. Now he’s acting like the savior with his new ‘asylum restrictions’ – only asylum is STILL AVAILABLE to thousands of illegal aliens every single day released into the US. According to The New...

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Border Patrol arrested Gerardo Henao 14 hours after President Joe Biden suspended asylum processing at the U.S. border with Mexico this week. But instead of being summarily deported, he was dropped off by agents the next day at a San Diego bus stop, where he caught a train to the airport for a flight to Newark, New Jersey. Henao, who said he left his jewelry business in Medellin, Colombia, because of constant extortion attempts, had one thing working in his favor: a scarcity of deportation flights to that country. Lack of resources, diplomatic limitations and...

Have you heard the news? President Senile Kid-Sniffer issued an executive order on the border, action meant to seal the border when the number of illegal aliens (that’s what they are, not “migrants,” so stop using the language of the left) reaches an arbitrary total. Of course, what counts in that total is completely at the discretion of the President, thereby making it meaningless. But that’s the point, and other liberals are playing their role in this kabuki theater perfectly. You have to be a special kind of stupid to think Joe Biden, or any Democrat for that matter, would...

California owes the federal government tens of millions of dollars for incorrectly claiming medical care reimbursements for noncitizens, a federal audit found. The Golden State must repay nearly $53 million to the federal government after it “improperly” claimed reimbursements from the Medicaid program for illegal immigrants and other noncitizens, according to a recent report by the Office of the Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The findings emerge as California grapples with a massive budget deficit in the tens of billions of dollars. ... The issue surrounds how California officials calculated federal reimbursements for noncitizen...

The GOP-controlled Arizona Legislature on Tuesday approved a proposal to ask voters to weigh in on a ballot measure this fall to make it a state crime for noncitizens to enter the state through Mexico at any location outside of a port of entry. The Arizona measure, approved by the state House on a 31-29 vote, would allow state and local police to arrest people crossing the border without authorization. State judges would also have the power to order people convicted of unauthorized border crossing to return to their countries of origin. The state House voted along party lines, with...
