Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas admitted Sunday that the vast majority of Haitian migrants who crossed the southern U.S. border in recent weeks have already been released into the United States, and it is possible that more will follow them. So far, approximately 12,400 of the people are having their cases heard by immigration judges, while another 5,000 are being processed by the Department of Homeland Security. Currently,, only 3,000 are in detention. "Approximately, I think it's about ten thousand or so, twelve thousand," Mayorkas told "Fox News Sunday" when asked how many have already been released. He then...

BLACKSTONE, Va. - Mayor Billy Coleburn finished his burger, pulled out his cellphone and braced himself for the 24 Facebook notifications and slew of unread messages waiting for him. "Let's see how bad they are," he said, sitting in a booth at the Brew House on Main Street, in the town of roughly 3,600 people in rural southside Virginia. The rumors seemed to be evolving each day, ever since an international humanitarian crisis made its way across the world and landed in Blackstone's backyard. Just over a mile from the town limits, past a thick tree line and behind the...

Fourteen Mexican soldiers were detained early Saturday morning for several hours by U.S. border agents after they crossed into El Paso, Texas, from Mexico's Ciudad Juarez, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)said. "Just after midnight today CBP officers working at the Bridge of the America's international crossing in El Paso noted two Mexican military vehicles crossing the boundary and entering the U.S.," the CBP told Reuters in an emailed statement. The 14 Mexican soldiers said they did not realize they had entered the United States and U.S. border agents secured their weapons and equipment for "safety and processing," said...

Soon after Bill Melugin of Fox News began beaming drone footage of the many thousands of Haitians gathered under the bridge in Del Rio, Texas, Biden's open borders zealot in charge of DHS, Alejandro Mayorkas, ordered two nearby border checkpoints abandoned. The reason given was to redirect those personnel to help process the Haitians. The media reported that those checkpoints had been "closed," leading the viewer to believe that traffic had been rerouted. But that was not the case. The fifty thousand vehicles those checkpoints inspect during an average week continued to move through, only now no one was checking...

Seems to me one may not be part of the Biden regime unless one is a bald face liar. The three that jump to the top of that list are Biden himself, Jen Paski and Alejandro Mayorkas. They are not simply liars, they are pathologic liars. They represent a monumental threat to the United States of America. They are incapable of being truthful. Biden and Mayorkas have been failures at securing the Southern border and they needed a scapegoat. The CBP is that scapegoat. First, a little history. The CBP has been using horses to help secure the border since...

California will strike the word “alien” from its state laws, getting rid of what Gov. Gavin Newsom called “an offensive term for a human being” that has “fueled a divisive and hurtful narrative.” Newsom on Friday signed a law that removes the word from various sections of the California state code. California passed laws in 2015 and 2016 that removed the word from the state’s labor and education code. But the law Newsom signed on Friday finishes the job by removing the word from all state laws. The word will be replaced with terms like “noncitizen” or “immigrant.” “By changing...

The photographer behind images depicting Border Patrol agents on horseback told KTSM things are not exactly what they seem when it comes to the photos. The photographs, which were taken Sunday, appear to show agents on horses with a whip in hand. The photos caused outrage because from certain angles, it appears to show Border Patrol whipping migrants, but photographer Paul Ratje said he and his colleagues never saw agents whipping anyone. “Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses,” Ratje said. “I’ve never seen them whip anyone,” Ratje said. “He was swinging it, but...

President Biden earned the ire of Border Patrol agents on Friday after endorsing the false claim that they were recorded “whipping” migrants who were attempting to cross the Rio Grande into Del Rio, Texas, earlier this week. At a press briefing Friday, Biden said the agents would “pay” for allegedly lashing the Haitian migrants — a narrative popularized by journalists on social media even though the video evidence shows no such thing. Border Patrol morale is suffering due to the administration’s scapegoating. “Would you go to work and do your best knowing that if you do your boss is going...

DEL RIO, Texas (Reuters) -An impromptu border camp that roiled U.S. politics was emptied of thousands of Haitian migrants by Friday, with most remaining in the United States for now and others expelled on deportation flights or returned to Mexico. Reuters witnesses said the shanty town-like jumble of makeshift shelters and tents had all but disappeared from Del Rio, Texas, with workers clearing the last debris from the banks of the Rio Grande bordering Mexico. Texas State Troopers lined the river bank to discourage new crossings. U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said nearly 30,000 migrants had been...

First they banned the use of flying drones to film the site. (Here’s a media protip for future incidents: FAA NOTAMs do not cover Mexican airspace, so fly your drones and film from there.) Then they squeezed out all but approved press likely to communicate the Administration narrative. Then they announced and implemented a phony policy solution to the whole thing: the Haitians will be flown to Haiti. Some of the Haitians are, in fact, being flown to Haiti. We saw the Coast Guard C-130 that’s ferrying migrants from the Del Rio to Port-au-Prince, on the tarmac and readying to...

President Joe Biden berated American border patrol agents for using horses to confront migrants crossing into the United States on the Southern border, vowing they would be punished. “To see people treated like they did, horses running them over and people getting strapped, it’s outrageous I promise you those people will pay,” Biden said, despite no publicly available evidence to back up his claims.

When Berlin votes to decide the fate of its housing market on September 26th, more than 800,000 internationals will be unable to have their say. The campaigners behind the referendum are fighting for change. …… “In Berlin we have, de facto, a three-class franchise,” Expropriate Deutsche Wohnen spokesperson Rouzbeh Taheri told The Local. “That’s interesting insofar as, a hundred years or so in Berlin’s history, they had the Prussian ‘three class franchise’ where people’s right to vote was determined by income. “Now we have another type of three-class franchise: there are the people who can vote on everything — German...

For all of you who, like me, might have been briefly fooled into thinking that Joe Biden was starting to take illegal immigration a bit more seriously during the showdown at Del Rio, this week brings us yet another indication that nothing has changed. The Free Beacon reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has just announced the hiring of a new Principal Legal Adviser. The PLA oversees more than two dozen field locations and more than 1,200 attorneys. They are also the agency’s chief representative in all litigation and removal proceedings for illegal aliens. It’s a very important role. So...

President Joe Biden will ban officials from using horses while securing the border, days after controversial photographs emerged of agents on horses confronting Haitian migrants the White House confirmed Thursday. “[W]e will no longer be using horses in Del Rio,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily press briefing with reporters.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz mocked Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her previous visit to a migrant facility, and issued a "simple challenge" to her and her colleagues to visit the "Biden cages" holding migrants amid the border crisis. "Mr. President, every Democrat who stood up and lamented kids in cages, in the House of Representatives, Representative Ocasio-Cortez, has a famous photo of her grasping her head by the kids in cages," Cruz said as he imitated the photo. "Well, I’m going to give a simple challenge for Representative Ocasio-Cortez and for every Democrat in this body. Go see the Biden...

If Real Americans Went Active, in south Texas…Every commercial transport vehicle traveling U.S. Route 90 between Laughlin AFB and F.M. 3008 would be identified. Information should include details on transport, license plates would be made public. Location of all fueling stations in the 150 miles stretch of U.S. 90 between Del Rio, TX & Lackland AFB would be detailed. Drivers of said vehicles would be documented. They would be watching for any civilian aircraft leaving Lackland or Laughlin AFB They would be paying special attention to F.M. 2369 Spanish Dagger RV Park would be at or near full capacity. Do...

Remember how Obama lied to the country to impose de facto open borders? He did this by getting his open borders allies to call him "The Deporter in Chief." This was supposedly an insult. Actually, it was arranged cover. Obama wanted the public to think the open borders lobby was displeased with him, and that he was the "greatest deporter in American history." This was a lie. Obama was deporting fewer people than his predecessors. To make it look like he was deporting more, he did what he did with the "Jobs Created or Saved" numbers: He got the Democrat...

<p>DEL RIO, Texas — Governor Greg Abbott ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety and National Guard to use vehicles to create a miles-long barrier to stop the flow of mostly Haitian migrants from crossing the Rio Grande. The vehicle barrier, along with the recently constructed Texas border fencing, effectively blocked the illegal crossings and enabled Border Patrol officials to reduce the population of the Del Rio migrant encampment.</p>

Many Haitian migrants camped in a small Texas border town are being released in the United States, two U.S. officials said, undercutting the Biden administration’s public statements that the thousands in the camp faced immediate expulsion.
