Anne Milgram, a former New Jersey attorney general and current Administrator at the Drug Enforcement Agency, went on CBS’s “Face the Nation” yesterday, revealing that “for the first time,” transnational drug cartels, namely the Sinaloa and Jalisco syndicates, were trafficking fentanyl under the guise of prescription medication. Per
Milgram, via a report at Newsmax:‘[F]or the first time, the cartels are hiding fentanyl in other drugs.‘They’re making them look like real prescription medicines, which are all fentanyl and filler. And so this is just a dramatically changed landscape that we’ve now pivoted to address and take head on.…‘[T]his is the cheapest...

When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the US Congress at the end of July, he named four Israeli soldiers who he said had been heroes since Hamas’s October 7 massacre. The
first of the troops was young Israel Defense Forces officer 2nd Lt. Avichail Reuven, who ran 12 kilometers (8 miles) to the Gaza border on that Saturday to help fight off the terrorists. Reuven was at his parents’ home in the southern city of Kiryat Malachi on October 7 when he was awakened by sirens. He was still in the midst of officer training at the time, but after...

The number of suicides committed by Border Patrol agents in 2024 has neared the number set in 2023, with four months to go, the New York Post reported on Friday. At least seven U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) employees ended their own lives in 2024; eight died last year by their
own hand. Kent Corso, CBP's former "suicidolgist" and behavior analyst, told the outlet that agents on the front line are witnesses to more of life's grim realities than the average citizen.

What Kamala Harris did – and didn’t do – on immigration and the border

The Washington Post ^

Two months into his presidency, Joe Biden confronted a political crisis: The number of migrants illegally crossing the southern border into the United States was soaring. So
he asked Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the administration’s diplomatic efforts to reduce problems at the border. That assignment included working with three Central American countries — El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras — to improve living conditions and lower the odds that migrants would leave those countries for reasons including poverty, gang violence and corruption. But Republicans quickly seized on the apparent diplomatic opportunity for Harris, referring to her as the country’s...

I’ve been filming on borders around the world since early 2019, and I always encounter government agents who want to tell me what’s really going on behind the scenes. My
latest tour on the border in Jacumba, California, has been no different. An agent who spoke to me under the condition he remains anonymous told me that immediately after Joe Biden took office in 2021, official email communications from his administration instructed all Border Patrol agents to turn in family members, friends, and co-workers if they believed that the election was stolen or tampered with. The communications also directed agents...

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

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com ^
| 8/13/2024 | jim hoft
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...

The acting governor of Kursk, Russia – a border region Ukraine launched an invasion into last week – told Russian strongman Vladimir Putin on Monday he has evacuated 121,000 people from their homes and plans to move another 59,000 out of threatened areas as soon as possible. Reports
began surfacing on August 6 of Ukrainian troops crossing the border and seizing territory in Kursk, which Ukrainian officials have long identified as a launchpad for attacks into their territory. The attacks mark the first time since Putin launched a “special operation” to oust Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in February 2022 that...

A new memo revealed that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) retaliated against a group of agency whistleblowers who blew the lid off their non-compliance with a law requiring DNA collection from unlawful immigrants. Those

An appeals court on Friday overturned the conviction and life sentence of a man found guilty of killing a U.S. Border Patrol agent whose death exposed the botched federal gun operation known as “Fast and Furious” has been overturned, a U.S. appeals court said Friday.

Vance sparred with Karl about former President Donald Trump’s promise to deport millions of illegal immigrants and referred to Harris as the “border czar.” ... Karl questioned if federal authorities would go “door-to-door” requesting papers, but Vance promptly retorted, “This is the wrong attitude towards it, right?”...

MOSCOW, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Russia on Monday evacuated civilians from parts of a second region next to Ukraine after Kyiv increased military activity near the border just days after its biggest incursion into sovereign Russian territory since the start of the 2022 war. Ukrainian
forces rammed through the Russian border last Tuesday and swept across some Western parts of Russia's Kursk region, a surprise attack that may be aimed at gaining leverage in possible ceasefire talks after the U.S. election. Apparently caught by surprise, Russia by Sunday had stabilised the front in the Kursk region, though Ukraine had carved...

Cartel drones take air control of US border as Kamala Harris cackles and Joe Biden dodders

New York Post ^
| Aug. 11, 2024, | Post Editorial Board
Cartels have started an air war barely south of the US border — how long before it spills over, thanks to the Biden-Harris border erasure? As
with terrorism, it’s a question not of if but when. A cell of the Sinaloa Cartel, Los Salazar, has begun using drones to drop bombs on a rival group Los Pelones, in the town of Sonoyta — two miles from the US border. Central Park, by comparison, runs 2.5 miles north-south. Which means US residents are thisclose to an ongoing battle between parastatal organizations that just went aerial. It’s like something out of Blade...

...The convoys are known as “Trump Trains”, and though they have appeared in other states they have taken off in the Rio Grande valley. They
symbolize the political drama that is unfolding in this overwhelmingly Hispanic community that has for generations been umbilically tied to the Democratic party: the seemingly unassailable rise of Trump.... An opinion poll from April conducted by the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation (TxHPF) found that Trump was leading his then presumptive rival Biden in South Texas by 44% to 36%. That was an astounding statistic given the region’s previously lock-tight Democratic record... Religion is another critical...

Russian forces have been hammered by an offensive in Kursk since Tuesday Russia has evacuated more than 76,000 people from border areas in the western region of Kursk as Ukraine continues to push deeper in its cross-border offensive, Russian media reported today. 'More
than 76,000 people have been temporarily relocated to safe places,' the state-run TASS news agency reported, citing a local official at a press briefing. Russia appears to have been caught off guard by a daring incursion into the southwestern Kursk region since Tuesday, though Ukraine has stopped short of formally claiming responsibility.

said, “I think she has a very, very good argument to make on the border. This border czar issue is just incorrect. She was given a very specific task of dealing with the Central American countries. She got about $5 billion into those countries and a very, very significant reduction in the number of asylum seekers leaving those countries. So, in that sense, she did...

Their lies know no bounds. The
Kamala campaign is running an ad this morning claiming she is tough on border policies. Kamala Harris is the border czar responsible for the greatest illegal migrant invasion in US history. Over ten million illegals have walked across the open US border since Kamala and Joe took over. It’s not a secret. But now Kamala Harris and Democrats are running one of the most dishonest political ads in US history. They have no respect for the hundreds of grieving American families who have lost loved ones to the fentanyl crisis or to a violent...
