The Supreme Court appeared conflicted Tuesday in a contentious dispute about whether the Biden administration’s immigration policy priorities conflict with Congress’s instructions in federal law... ... Texas and other Republican-led states said the guidance violated specific commands from Congress. One provision of federal law says DHS “shall take into custody” noncitizens... ...But Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wondered what the court should do if it decides “shall means shall.”

Migrant Female Child: “An aunt [sponsored me], but she kicked me out of her house. She was pimping me and I didn’t like that. She would pimp me to men.” Migrant Female Child: “I just escaped one night. I told her [aunt], ‘I’m going to the laundromat.’ She [aunt] went to the laundromat and didn’t find me there. Later on, she called Immigration.”

A joint resolution passed by both houses of Louisiana state government is up for vote in a December 10th statewide special election. If it passes, Amendment 1 will codify in the Louisiana constitution that only American citizens can vote in any level of election statewide. While noncitizens cannot vote in federal elections since 1996’s Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, election laws regarding noncitizens at state and local levels are left for those jurisdictions to decide. Over the past 26 years, progressive states and localities have pushed at those boundaries laid in the IIRIA. Municipalities like Montpelier, Vermont have...

It’s often remarked upon that when a greater being attempts to contact humanity, it chooses quiet backwater areas instead of going straight to the top. So it was when, on Saturday, Nov. 26, 1977, a representative of the Ashtar Galactic Command took over TV airwaves to warn the world of the risk of its destruction, he spoke via a regional broadcaster with a maximum audience of about 500,000 households in the south of England. Southern TV’s usual Day by Day evening news bulletin was being aired live just after 5 p.m. when the comforting tones of broadcaster Andrew Gardner were...

The Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday over a blocked Biden administration policy that would prioritize deportation of people in the country illegally who pose the greatest public safety risk. The arguments are scheduled to start at 10 a.m. ET. Listen in the player above. Republican-led states sued and won a nationwide court order that is meant to limit immigration officers’ discretion in deciding whom to deport. The justices are hearing arguments in the case Tuesday.

Thousands of U.S. Border Patrol agents are bracing for a monumental migration event at the southern border with Mexico that is expected to take place when pandemic policy Title 42 ends just days before Christmas , according to six employees who spoke with the Washington Examiner. “Title 42 was a cracked dam. We all know that when it breaks, a huge flood is coming. The flood of people coming in at once will cripple our already broken immigration system,” a senior agent in West Texas told the Washington Examiner this week. “Customs and Border Protection will have no other choice...

Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2 star Bette Midler spent her Thanksgiving trashing the national holiday, posting a meme that denigrated the pilgrims as “undocumented aliens from Europe.” In a tweet on Thursday, Bette Midler posted a meme showing a pilgrim and an Indian sharing a turkey in what appears to be a depiction of the first Thanksgiving in 1621. The meme’s snarky caption reads: “Celebrating the day Americans fed undocumented aliens from Europe.” Midler’s meme inaccurately depicts what actually transpired between the Plymouth colony pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians at the first Thanksgiving feast. Historical accounts show that both the pilgrims...

In my previous column, I discussed Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s border invasion declaration, which he actually issued in July but has been publicizing recently. Gov. Abbott even wrote a letter to Biden openly explaining what he is doing. Abbott is in a difficult situation and deserves credit for doing more than any other governor on this issue. However, the border invasion is an enormous problem. Drastic times call for drastic measures.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, hoping to become the next Speaker of the House, called for the resignation of President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, declaring him a threat to the nation’s sovereignty. If Mayorkas resists, McCarthy threatened House Republicans will consider impeachment proceedings against him. McCarthy made the announcement during a press conference along the United States-Mexico border, where he noted that under Mayorkas’s leadership, the U.S. has seen “the greatest wave of illegal immigration in recorded history, with an estimated 5.5 million border encounters since Biden took office in February 2021.

The Biden administration has been attempting to end the policy, which expelled millions of migrants at the border. Fifteen Republican states on Monday night asked a federal judge to keep a Covid-era policy in place that allowed authorities to severely restrict asylum-seekers from crossing the border into the country after the judge issued a ruling last week that blocked the rule.

Republican Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall recently introduced a resolution that would block citizenship for illegal immigrants dependent on taxpayer-funded benefits. The resolution was first obtained by the Daily Caller and focuses on a new DHS rule that would cut the number of benefits immigrants can use that would be held against them when applying for permanent residency in the United States. In 2019, the Trump administration defined any immigrant who had received one or more designated public benefits for more than 12 months...

As El Paso becomes the number one location for immigrants to cross into the US, residents of the Texas city tell The Post they’re now overrun with illegal immigrants who are coming to their neighborhoods, prowling through their yards and may be carrying weapons. “It’s real bad because sometimes there’s up to 10, 15 of them running all over,” Luis Lujan, who lives near El Paso’s Ascarate Park, less than two miles from the border, told The Post. In the area where Lujan lives, migrants either climb over the border wall or cut holes in the nine-foot barrier dividing the...

Four people were found dead and another injured after being held hostage at an Oklahoma marijuana farm. Police responded to a call at around 8.45pm on Sunday about a potential hostage situation at in Kingfisher County - about 50 miles outside of Oklahoma City. Deputies discovered four people dead from gunshot wounds. A fifth victim, who was shot twice, was airlifted to the hospital, but police didn't say in what condition. No arrests have been made, but police issued an arrest warrant at around 11am on Monday, Kingfisher County Sheriff Dennis Banther told a local news outlet. Police haven't identified...

The lawless Biden regime is destroying the country very purposefully, one day at a time. There is currently a crisis ignored by the fake news mainstream media that is killing the country. A record number of illegal aliens are crossing into the United States on a monthly basis. The number of illegals crossing into the US is likely the largest regime-approved migrant invasion in world history. In September a record 227,347 illegal aliens were captured at the US border walking into the country across the open border. So far, in 2022, there have been 2,378,944 apprehensions of illegal aliens at...

Massachusetts taxpayers are being asked to foot a $139 million bill that would “expand emergency shelter capacity” for border crossers and illegal aliens arriving in the state. Just as Massachusetts residents are starting to see housing prices cool off, Gov. Charlie Baker (R) is asking for $139 million to hugely increase shelter space for border crossers and illegal aliens increasingly arriving in the state with little-to-no means.

The Biden administration, desperate to mute headlines about record illegal immigrant crossings, has secretly started a new system to let in potential lawbreakers that also puts them on a fast track to legal status. The program amounts to an amnesty ticket and preselects some of those caught up in Mexico’s immigration controls. Word of the program has spread like wildfire, swamping border camps involved in the program, according to a report by immigration expert Todd Bensman with the Center for Immigration Studies. In his report, shared with Secrets Monday, Bensman said, “Thousands are hearing about this new legal way in...

Miquel A. Jones was arraigned Monday morning in Edgartown District Court on a charge of being an accessory after the fact in connection with Thursday’s armed bank robbery of the Rockland Trust in Vineyard Haven. Jones, 30, is a former Jamaican pro soccer player, according to attorney Casey Dobel who represented him in the courtroom. Jones will be represented by attorney Matt Kelly. Court records show Jones is a Jamaican national who lives in Edgartown. His job listed on court records is landscaper. Bail was set at $300,000 by Judge Benjamin Barnes with a curfew and GPS if he makes...

Sen. Chuck Schumer made some startling admissions last week about his immigration views: “We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the dreamers and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the dreamers but to get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is deploying National Guard troops in M113 armored personnel carrier to various positions along the border after earlier threatening to use gunboats in an attempt to quell the influx of migrants at the border. The news comes after Abbott invoked a Constitutional clause on Wednesday warning President Joe Biden that the Lone Star state would go rogue to defend itself from what he calls a migrant 'invasion' at the southern border. Texas Military Department officials ordered the 10 armored personnel carriers on Thursday and announced around 50 soldiers would be trained to operate them. Armored personnel...

When the measles outbreak was first reported last week, only four confirmed cases had been identified in one child-care facility, which temporarily closed – but the number of cases and facilities involved has grown. As of Friday morning, Columbus Public Health officials updated their investigation to include 19 confirmed cases, and more suspected, at 10 daycare centers and two schools. “All cases are in unvaccinated children, and all but one are less than 4 years old. One child is 6 years old,” Newman said. Health officials with Columbus Public Health and Franklin County Public Health have been investigating these cases...
