A senior-level law enforcement source in the Department of Homeland Security told Breitbart they received verbal orders limiting their ability to speak freely about the growing crisis along the border.
The official spoke under the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on the matter. “The situation with media relations now is night and day compared to the last administration. We have been advised not to speak on immigration issues at the border and to rely on DHS’s Office of Public Affairs and the Whitehouse Press Office to handle messaging.”
The verbal order applies to senior law enforcement leaders within DHS and has no formal expiration date. It comes as the administration is struggling to manage the growing crisis caused by changes in border security leading to a spike in illegal crossings at the border.
As local communities along the border continue to grapple with the release of migrants, the administration is facing criticism even amongst their own ranks.
Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX) said, “I can tell you this, those numbers of people that are being released, they’re purposely withholding that information.
“I now know that they’re bringing people from McAllen over to Laredo, processing them in Laredo, and they’re going to release them in my community. I’ve seen this before, don’t let the local communities know what you’re doing, where they’re starting to bring people in from the valley, process them in Laredo, release them at a bus station.”
The verbal order delivered through DHS channels is designed to prevent senior leaders from shedding light on the immigration situation that currently plagues the administration. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Biden’s director of the Domestic Policy Council, Susan Rice, visited several Texas cities Saturday, to see the situation along the border first hand.

Are the media outlets complaining about the lack of transparency and the suppression of freedom of the press?
Is every GOP politician demanding enforcement of the immigration laws on the books and securing the border fo the protection of US citizens?
Why not?
Why didn’t they do this when Obama was in office? It was within their rights.
Has AOC been seen at the border to report on the state of this crisis, like her face photo ops of a parking lot?
What we have here folks is a brutal totalitarian dictatorship guarded behind an iron curtain and troops.

So, said DHS dude can’t ‘accidentally’ leave behind a full report, written out, for the press to ‘stumble upon’?
[[Why not?]]
No profit in it
Make them put the order in writing.
Otherwise ignore it.
