The Chinese Communist Party saw Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as a prime “target” for its influence operations in the US, according to internal Department of Homeland Security communications shared the same day that Vice President Kamala Harris picked him as her running mate. “You all have no idea how this feeds into what prc [the People’s Republic of China] has been doing here with him and local gov,” a DHS official wrote Aug. 6 on an internal “Nation State Threat — National Functional Team” chat, which a whistleblower recently disclosed to a congressional committee. “It’s seriously a line of the...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is under scrutiny following its noncompliance with a subpoena from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. The subpoena, issued on September 30, 2024, requests specific documentation regarding Minnesota Governor Timothy Walz’s connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). “According to recently received whistleblower disclosures, we’ve learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees and additional intelligence reports that contain information regarding a longstanding connection between the CCP and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz,” the Oversight Committee in September. “Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, we’ve learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat...

Recently, unsealed court documents completely redefined what we were told to believe about the 2020 US presidential election. The election was billed by the Democrat Party, Joe Biden, the mainstream media, and former CISA Chief Chris Krebs as the most secure election in US history. Chris Krebs, the former CISA Director fired by Donald Trump, testified before Congress on December 16, 2020, after he was fired. Krebs was called to testify before the US Senate Homeland Security Governmental Affairs Committee. Krebs famously announced that day, “The 2020 election was the most secure in US history.” WATCH: VIDEO AT LINK...................... But...

Former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson left the Fox & Friends curvy couch gobsmacked by his insistence that, if elected, Vice President Kamala Harris would be tougher on the border than former President Donald Trump. Johnson is a semifrequent guest on Fox & Friends, whose visit almost always elicits a fascinating and respectful conversation (increasingly rare in the current cable news landscape). Before this interview, Fox aired a clip of Harris being asked during CNN’s recent town hall about her administration’s executive order on the border, to which she replied, “I think we did the right thing. But the best thing...

The DHS Bureaucrat Watch List is dedicated to exposing the career staff who have outsized influence on efforts to secure the southern border. While everyone knows who Alejandro Mayorkas and Merrick Garland are, few Americans know who the career bureaucrats are that implement their orders. By uncovering hidden agendas and failures, we aim to restore integrity to our immigration system and border protection by showing America who can be counted on to reform America’s broken immigration system and who is in league with left-wing open border groups. Join us in defending our borders and reclaiming America's sovereignty.

The state of Florida has filed a lawsuit against the Biden-Harris Administration due to its refusal to assist multiple states with efforts to purge illegal aliens from the voter rolls ahead of the 2024 election. As reported by Fox News, Florida’s lawsuit states that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has an obligation to help verify the immigration status of anyone who is registered to vote. “Because the federal government is refusing to comply with these obligations and frustrating Florida’s ability to maintain the integrity of its elections, Florida files this suit,” the lawsuit declares. The state added that it...

Florida and its Department of State filed a lawsuit this week against the Biden-Harris administration, claiming it is hindering the state from removing noncitizens from its voter rolls. A copy of the lawsuit, obtained by Fox News Digital, notes, "Florida has an obligation to maintain accurate and current voter registration records," and the "federal government has an obligation to cooperate with the States in ensuring only citizens vote in their elections." However, according to the state, the Biden-Harris administration "is refusing to comply with these obligations and frustrating Florida's ability to maintain the integrity of its elections. The complaint added...

In December 2023, for 17 continuous days, a fleet of drones appeared at night over Langley Air Force Base (AFB), Virginia and other facilities in the greater Virginia Beach area. This was reported at the time, but the story was fleeting. Two other events occurred in the area that are relevant to the story. In February 2023, a pair of F-22s from Langley shot down the Chinese spy balloon as it exited the United States over South Carolina into the Atlantic Ocean. In January 2024, a Chinese graduate student at the University of Minnesota, was arrested for flying a drone...

The Biden-Harris administration announced it would not be extending parole for the hundreds of thousands of non-citizens enrolled in a hotly debated migrant flight program, but border hawks say the tough declaration likely won’t lead to any of them being removed from the country. The migrants who entered the United States on two-year parole via the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan (CHNV) program will not see their status renewed when it ends, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to the Daily Caller ...

How are these ballots generated? A voter ID# within the internet-connected voter-roll database is temporarily inflated to generate a fake ballot which is sent out. Same process can be done on an industrial scale behind closed doors by the hundreds of thousands guided by corrupt NGOs. Rolls are then purged in microseconds to cover bad actors’ tracks. Who is behind this? The Department of Homeland Security via their unregulated and unaccountable shadow agencies, the Center for Internet Security and the Atlantic Council. You aren’t up against democrats. You are up against your own government. .... Until People Understand you have...

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas spent less than six hours visiting hurricane-hit areas of North Carolina on Thursday — before retreating to Washington to grab an early takeout dinner at Nobu. Mayorkas touched down in the Tar Heel State around 10 a.m. before jetting back to the nation’s capital, where he was spotted by The Post at 5:15 p.m. carrying bags of food from the posh international Japanese restaurant chain — where sushi and sashimi selections are priced at $60 a plate and the highest-grade Wagyu steaks go for $40 per ounce. ...

The Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, was caught shopping for luxury clothing as North Carolina continues to face the devastating fallout from its recent hurricane. Mayorkas, whose sub-agency FEMA is responsible for handling the response to the extreme weather event, was snapped by a reporter for the Washington Free Beacon strolling through the mens section of Sid Mashburn, a high-end menswear store, surrounded by his extensive security detail.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” that people who feel the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene was insufficient were warned about increasing extreme weather events. Cabrera said, “So you’re still in that search and rescue mode, it sounds like. Some residents into these impacted communities are telling us they feel like local and federal government was caught flat-footed. I want to get your reaction to some of what we’re hearing. North Carolinian Ricky Brown said, “There you go that is your government. They don’t care about us. You know what...

On Monday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas responded to delays in getting water into the Asheville, NC area by stating that the impacts of Hurricane Helene were underestimated and “We are still in search-and-rescue mode in certain communities. There are local communities that are better equipped and better managed because of experience.” Co-host Ailsa Chang asked, “Well, was access an issue when it came to supplying water there? Because Buncombe County, where Asheville is, says they put in a request for water before the storm, but they hadn’t received anything until this morning.” She...

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has subpoenaed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about unspecified allegations of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) connections against Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. In a letter accompanying the subpoena released on Thursday, Comer said the House Oversight and Accountability Committee received information from a whistleblower about “serious concern among Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel regarding a longstanding connection between” Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The letter was issued just one day before Walz is set to debate Trump vice-presidential pick JD Vance in the televised debate on Tuesday. Per the Hill: Specifically, Comer...

A House committee probing the ongoing border crisis has subpoenaed Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra for information about tens of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children who have disappeared inside the US. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) compelled Becerra, in a Thursday cover letter exclusively obtained by The Post that accompanied the subpoena, to hand over documents related to the “vetting, screening, and monitoring” of migrant sponsors by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).... HHS officials have stalled for more than a month and a half after the Homeland Security panel initially requested the records on...

Thousands of other migrants have been charged but not yet convicted of those and other crimes. They are part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “non-detained docket,” a list of more than 7 million illegal immigrants that ICE is supposed to be monitoring as they roam free in the U.S. ICE provided the data to Congress and the House Homeland Security Committee released it...

Prince Harry's visa documents will not be made public, a judge has ruled in a major victory for the Duke of Sussex. In a court decision handed down on Monday, US District Judge Carl Nichols said the British royal had a 'reasonable privacy interest' in relation to his US immigration paperwork and therefore such files should remain private.... The decision comes after Judge Nichols spent five months reviewing Harry's immigration file as part of a case brought by the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank based in Washington, D.C... The judge said that some documents submitted to him by DHS...
