1…………> Arming The Cartels: Texas

 

Special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) on Tuesday led an enforcement action that resulted in seizing 21 rifles, 962 rounds of ammunition, ammunition magazines, belt-fed magazines, ballistic plates, armor carriers and ghillie (camouflage) suits.

“Homeland Security Investigations will continue to leverage its expansive authorities to combat transnational criminal organizations,” said Assistant Special Agent in Charge Adrian Flores, HSI Laredo. “HSI’s partnership with federal, state and local law enforcement in Laredo is crucial to ensuring public safety and national security in the U.S. and Mexico.”

According to law enforcement authorities, in June 2018, Task Force members with Laredo’s High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) were conducting surveillance of a downtown Laredo parking lot. They witnessed individual transfer boxes from one vehicle to another. Task Force members approached the individual and conducted a preliminary search inside the vehicle. During the search, they discovered a large cache of weapons and other related merchandise. Law enforcement suspect that the merchandise was about to be smuggled to Mexico.

2…………> New Philippines IS Emir: Abu Dar

 

The bounty on the head of Southern Philippines new IS “Emir” Owayda Benito Marohombsar, aka Abu Dar, has been raised from 3 million pesos ($56,150) to 6 million pesos ($112,300), due to Army difficulties capturing him in the hinterlands, as thousands of families have fled their homes in the province of Lanao del Sur following military operations against jihadists of the Maute group.

Firefights erupted after the military launched intelligence operations to hunt down Abu Dar and around 50 other remnants of the Maute group – the militant group that launched a five-month-long siege in the southern Philippines’ Marawi City last year.
“We found their bunkers. They had towers, foxholes, empty shells and a cache of ammunition,” Army spokesman said.Military rule has been extended by Congress until the end of this year in a bid to quell the threat of terrorism.

3…………> Trump’s “Migrant Children”: Kept On Bases

DOD officials said that about 20,000 migrant “unaccompanied alien children” will be housed on four military bases in Texas and Arkansas, a move precipitated by President Trump’s reversal on the child separation policy debate.

Stubborn differences between conservative and more moderate Republicans in the House have stalled immigration legislation on Capitol Hill, with a vote on a compromise measure delayed until next week.

Mr. Trump said that even if a measure passed, it was doomed in the Senate.

Elect more Republicans in November and we will pass the finest, fairest and most comprehensive Immigration Bills anywhere in the world. Right now we have the dumbest and the worst. Dems are doing nothing but Obstructing. Remember their motto, RESIST! Ours is PRODUCE!

Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November. Dems are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solve this decades-old problem. We can pass great legislation after the Red Wave!

The House also postponed, likely until next week, a vote on a more moderate bill in order to try to drum up more support.

4…………> “Fake News” Lies: Migrant Babies

The “Open Borders Foundation” and its “Fake News” media clowns lied again about the little girl who had become the public face of US migrant family separations, a photograph of the Honduran toddler sobbing in a pink jacket was taken at the scene of a border detention, with “failing” Time magazine using the image for its latest cover, depicting President Donald Trump looming over the girl with the caption: “Welcome to America”.

The image was taken by a photographer for the news agency Getty Images, John Moore, on 12 June at McAllen, Texas, as the mother had been breastfeeding her child after crossing the Rio Grande in a raft in the moments before they were detained.

Girl’s father Mr. Valera said his daughter and her mother, Sandra Sanchez, have been detained together in the border town of McAllen as Ms. Sanchez sought asylum, a claim verified by Honduran Deputy Foreign Minister Nelly Jerez.

Carlos Ruiz, the Border Patrol agent who stopped Ms. Sanchez and her daughter, said the mother was asked to set the child down so she could be searched.

About 500 children have been reunited with their families since May, a Homeland Security official said on Thursday.
