Catherine Herridge Report: Whistleblowers Reveal Homeland Security’s Sinister Plot to Drive Them to Suicide for Exposing Border Agency’s Federal DNA Collection Failures

In a bombshell revelation, whistleblowers within Homeland Security have accused the agency of actively retaliating against them for exposing a systemic failure to comply with a federal DNA collection law.

The whistleblowers have risked their careers to reveal that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a division of DHS, has systematically failed to collect the DNA of illegal immigrants as mandated by the DNA Fingerprint Act. This law, passed in 2005 with bipartisan support, mandates the collection of DNA samples from non-U.S. persons detained for immigration violations.

This failure has allowed violent criminals to evade detection and commit further crimes on American soil.

In an exclusive interview with Catherine Herridge, the whistleblowers detailed a chilling campaign of retaliation, including demotions, the stripping of law enforcement credentials, and the creation of a hostile work environment. According to the whistleblowers, the agency’s intent was clear: to silence them at any cost.

The whistleblowers, who collectively have over seven decades of law enforcement experience and held TOP SECRET clearances—Mark Jones (20 years), Fred Wynn (18 years), and Michael Taylor (31 years)—assert that the agency’s non-compliance has directly endangered American lives.

In their letter to the DHS Inspector General, they stated that out of nearly 1.7 million encounters with illegal immigrants in FY 2022, only about 37% resulted in DNA collection. Alarmingly, this figure dropped to just over 31% in Q2 FY23.

> risked their careers ...

People are so concerned about their “careers”. It’s as if they can never accomplish anything else. Pathetic.

If Catherine Herridge reports it, I believe it. She has documentation, names, and facts.

According to whistleblowers exposing a systemic failure to comply with federal DNA collection
law, Biden/Harris’Homeland Security agency’s intent was clear: to silence them at any cost. Whistleblowers detailed a chilling campaign of retaliation:
<><>including humiliating demotions,
<><>stripping them of hard-earned law enforcement credentials,
<><>and cravenly creating a hostile work environment.


The Biden/Harris regime want illegals pouring over the border; its their
prime election strategy. Here’s how Democrats plan to steal 2024 for Kamala.

<><>they register illegals at proliferating migrant centers,
<><>they get ballots mailed there (so as to “harvest” them later).
<><>Most illegals dont even know they were registered to vote, and have already moved away.
<><>But Democrats will use the centers’ ballots to boost Harris into the WH.

Kamala shows her true colors on The Big Issues that Matter to Americans.

At a December 2017 presser, then-Sen Kamala Harris fumed
<><>she tyranically warned Americans not to say “Merry Christmas”
<><>because permanent status was needed for illegals who came here as children.
<><>Kamala trooped out speakers who pushed for the Dream Act,
<><>Christmas was verboten b/c a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal minors came first.

“And when we all sing happy tunes, and sing Merry Christmas, and wish each other Merry Christmas, these children are not going to have a Merry Christmas. How dare we speak Merry Christmas. How dare we? They will not have a Merry Christmas,” Harris nagged in a video obtained by Fox News Digital.

cont

As usual the bleeding heart Marxist had no clue.
These minors are draining the Social Security system.

Reference: A 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children disappear from their homes shortly after arriving in the U.S. But there is no clear local, state or federal government agency taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024

This is so bogus-——the kids arent missing, they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.

Vindictive Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called needy families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.

A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.

The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism. It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)

And it’s a sure bet they invent their “family circumstances.”

Plus senior illegals collect S/S without ever working here and not putting a thin dime into the system.

I’d be careful about trying to drive someone to suicide. When you kill one (yourself) all the rest are free.

Tell the truth and quit working for miserable lying management.

I’ve done that in a couple of “career” jobs. It’s just employment. The draft isn’t currently in force. No one forces someone to take a government job.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WTF? Some Jan6 prisoners have committed suicide. This evil tyrannical stolen election administration is torturing people with false arrests, false charges, and real prison time. This can drive some people to suicide. Try being in their shoes and see how you manage.

If the US government will do this to the people it employees imagine what they have done and will do to the average American that they hate with a burning passion. We are turning out to be just as bad as the old Soviet Union and it deeply grieves me to make that statement.
