World War II-Style Barriers Placed Along Border in New Mexico

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal officials are placing metal barriers along one of the busiest migrant smuggling corridors on the U.S.-Mexico border.

About a quarter-mile row of Normandy-style steel “Xs” were visible Wednesday on the western slope of Mount Cristo Rey in Sunland Park.

The area for the past several years has been a choice crossing location for migrants and smugglers because of its steep terrain, lack of roads and the absence of border wall. It also has been the site of many medical transports involving migrants who lose their footing on 1- to 2-foot dirt trails and end up at the bottom of ravines. Assaults on Border Patrol agents also have been reported there.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Landon Hutchens said the “temporary” barriers are being placed to discourage or slow foot and any other types of traffic.

Similar barriers were replaced west of nearby Santa Teresa several years ago when a 30-foot-tall steel bollard wall was installed. The steel Xs typically are placed on the border to prevent vehicles from coming over from Mexico. (Read more from “World War II-Style Barriers Placed Along Border in New Mexico” HERE)

Illegal Alien Allegedly Stole U.S. Citizen’s Identity, Committed Voter Fraud

/0 Comments/in , /by

An illegal alien faced voter fraud charges on Monday in federal court, after he allegedly lived in America for years under a citizen’s stolen identity.

Carlos Jose Abreu, a 45-year-old national from the Dominican Republic, faces charges of “impersonating a United States citizen when registering to vote and when voting in a federal election,” according to a Department of Justice press release. He also faces a charge for unlawful possession of a firearm.

“If convicted on the voter fraud and gun charges, Abreu faces up to 15 years in federal prison,” the release reads. “He is also subject to deportation.”

Abreu, of Broward County, Florida, allegedly used the stolen identity of an American to register to vote in September 2020 and to vote in November 2022, the release said. He had “been living in the United States under the assumed identity of the American citizen victim for about 18 years.”

The man has lived in America ever since he first entered illegally close to 20 years ago, according to the release. New Jersey issued an arrest warrant for Abreu in 2007 for charges of kidnapping, criminal restraint, endangering a child, and sexual assault. (According to court records, the latter two charges are still “outstanding,” and the case has been “transferred.”) He then relocated to Florida and allegedly stole an American citizen’s identity and acquired a Florida driver’s license and applied for a passport using the stolen identity, the release said.

Report: Former Mexican Consulate Lawyer Coaches Illegals to Lie to ICE

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Mexican consulate in Tucson, Arizona, is working with a leftist group that facilitates illegal immigration, according to an investigation by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project.

“These are hotbeds of radical activity,” Mike Howell, executive director of the Oversight Project, said to The Federalist. “They’re doing everything to coach these illegals to evade arrest. … It’s foreign interference through our domestic policies when you have the Mexican consulate involved.”

Mayra De La Torre — a former lawyer for the consulate — told illegals to lie to law enforcement about working in America in a video the Oversight Project published on Monday. The undercover footage exposed a seminar for illegals at Tucson’s Southside Worker Center, a non-governmental organization “building collective power” that hires out workers.

“You can make things up. ‘We’re not working, we’re volunteering here, this person is just helping,’” De La Torre said in the video. “What if they ask, ‘What about the $200?’” someone in the audience asked. “Say, ‘It’s a gift for my good work, for being a volunteer,’” De La Torre replied.

Howell said he is unsure how much time has passed since De La Torre stopped working for the Mexican consulate in her official capacity, or whether she is still working for it in an “unofficial capacity.” (Read more from “Report: Former Mexican Consulate Lawyer Coaches Illegals to Lie to ICE” HERE)

Unbelievable: Guess What an Illegal Alien Accused of Murder Was Wearing During the Crime

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .[A] 63-year-old man was brutally murdered and robbed in Chicago slightly over a week ago. The two suspects apprehended in the case are both illegal immigrants who reportedly crossed the Southern border unlawfully in 2023. The victim’s “body was found tied up at his home in Chicago late Sunday, the same day U.S. border czar Tom Homan and the Justice Department led a large immigration enforcement operation in that city,” Fox News reports. Those raids, which didn’t occur in time to save the man who was murdered, have been condemned, demonized and resisted by the mayor and other top Democrats in Illinois. One of arrested migrants was not only known to police prior to allegedly committing this brutal killing, but had been arrested days prior:

A 21-year-old man who was arrested in Norwood Park on Jan. 12 in connection with a reported child luring incident is now facing charges in the murder and robbery of a 63-year-old man who on Jan. 26 died in the basement of a relative’s home, also in Norwood Park on Chicago’s NW Side. A possible second suspect, who reportedly lives in Norwood Park, also is in custody for the murder of George Levin…he luring incident on Jan. 12 involved a man who reportedly called two girls, ages 12 and 13, over to his vehicle in the 6200 block of North Sayre Avenue, according to Chicago police. The man was arrested on suspicion of child luring, but the charge was reduced to simple assault, and he was released from custody the next day, police said.

Despite the arrest on suspicion of trying to lure two young girls into his car — which, as the story notes, was downgraded to a simple assault arrest — he was turned back onto the streets almost immediately. Chicago police were, of course, barred by “sanctuary” policies from involving the feds in the situation, actively protecting this illegal immigrant. Roughly two weeks later, the very same department was was pursing that very same illegal immigrant for murder. Both suspects have been charged with murder and robbery. I’ve heard that an ICE detainer was placed on that suspect over the luring arrest, but it was explicitly not honored, per Chicago’s pro-crime, pro-illegal immigration policies. It gets worse. Fox’s Matt Finn reveals more shocking details, starting with the very first bullet point here:

Bello (suspect) was wearing an ICE/DHS monitoring device on his ankle during alleged murder.

– Victim’s sister heard loud noises upstairs, checked-in & her brother’s alleged killer’s assured her brother is ok. After they left, she eventually breaks down brother’s door and “discovered him on the floor, cold to the touch, his hands wrapped together in duct tape, his feet tied together with an electrical cord, a sock stuffed in his mouth and securedin place with duct tape, and his pants down, exposing his genitals. Sister peeled away enough of the duct tape from the V’s mouth to remove the sock, called 911, and performed CPR while she waited for emergency responders to arrive. The victim sustained a hemorrhage to the neck, a subdural hemorrhage to the head, and rib fractures. The Medical Examiner discovered petechiae in the V’s eyes and cannot yet rule out asphyxiation.”

Democrats to Allow Illegals to Change Their Names to Evade ICE

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a controversial move, Illinois Democrats are pushing forward a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to change their names legally to help them evade detection by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The proposal, which undermines the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, further highlights Illinois’ troubling trend of prioritizing the interests of illegal immigrants over the safety and security of American citizens. While supporters argue the move is about protecting immigrants from deportation, critics see it as a blatant attack on the rule of law and an irresponsible effort to shield individuals who have entered the country illegally from accountability.

During a segment on Bannon’s War Room, Real America’s Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam revealed that Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) was considering signing a measure to protect illegal aliens from being detected by law enforcement.

House Bill 5164 would remove restrictions on illegal immigrants wishing to change their names. It passed both houses of Illinois Congress earlier this month and was sent to Pritzker’s desk last week.

The legislation would also protect criminal offenders and ensure that “filing fees for a petition for change name may not exceed $25.” it would also allow the court to waive the filing fee “for good cause shown.” (Read more from “Democrats to Allow Illegals to Change Their Names to Evade ICE” HERE)

Trump Confirms a New Use for GITMO

Speaking ahead of a bill signing event for the Laken Riley Act in the East Room of the White House Wednesday, President Donald Trump confirmed plans to send violent criminal aliens to Guantanamo Bay Prison, Cuba.

During his remarks Trump expressed concern home countries of a number of criminal aliens aren’t capable of keeping them in prisons or from returning to the United States, which is why the move to GITMO is necessary. He urged Congress to quickly approve funding for the security measure.

ICE to Target Illegals in Aurora, Colorado Next

/0 Comments/in , /by

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is set to launch expanded, targeted operations in more major U.S. cities in the coming days, including Aurora, Colorado, according to reports.

For one of its next efforts, ICE is preparing to step up its presence in Aurora after focusing on Chicago and New York City, according to NBC News.

Aurora has become a central location in the fight against the dangerous Venezuelan street gang named Tren de Argua after gang members had taken over several Aurora apartment complexes and forced residents to pay their rent to the gang instead of to the owners of the buildings.

Tren de Argua exploded in size in the U.S. after Joe Biden began accepting waves of Venezuelans without any vetting, allowing untold thousands of gang members to flood the country.

The situation became so blatant in Aurora that armed gang members were seen in a viral video rampaging through the hallways of the complexes and intimidating residents. (Read more from “ICE to Target Illegals in Aurora, Colorado Next” HERE)

Border Agents Report Stunning New Numbers on Illegal Crossings in Just Second Week of Presidency; Dr. Phil Teams Up with Tom Homan, ICE for High-Stakes Takedown of Criminal Illegal Aliens

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. Less than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday – a stunningly low number since President Donald Trump took office.

Sources tell Fox News that not a single one of the nine sectors received more than 200 crossings on Jan. 26, and the number of daily encounters only reached 582 in total. The Del Rio sector – which is the same sector that would sustain over 4,000 crossings per day during the height of the border crisis in December 2023 – only recorded 60 crossings.

For comparison, the daily number of border encounters during the final days of the Biden White House teetered between 1,200 to 1,400 per day.

The numbers have fallen even further since Jan. 20, and a Fox News Digital exclusive last week found that the numbers dropped sharply. (Read more from “Border Agents Report Stunning New Numbers on Illegal Crossings in Just Second Week of Presidency” HERE)

Dr. Phil Teams Up with Tom Homan, ICE for High-Stakes Takedown of Criminal Illegal Aliens

By Townhall. Dr. Phil McGraw’s cameras were rolling this week as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launched a controversial operation targeting illegal immigrants in one of the United State’s biggest sanctuary cities. The former doctor TV host joined President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, to carry out deportation efforts in Chicago, where he filmed several arrests, including interrogating a convicted child-sex offender who tried to defend himself being in the U.S. illegally.

“These are known criminals and terrorists. We’re talking about murderers, child traffickers, child rapists. We’re talking about bad actors, both in the countries they’ve come from and since they’ve been here in the United States,” McGraw said as ICE agents carried out Trump’s border orders.

In one scene, McGraw asked the convicted sex offender and internet predator from Thailand, who had been illegally residing in Chicago, if he had been charged with sex crimes with children. In response, the illegal immigrant brushed off the question, saying, “Not really.”

“Not really!?” McGraw shockingly replied.

The illegal alien insisted he had never been deported and that his mother was a U.S. citizen. He recognized McGraw from his television show and frequently dodged the famous psychologist’s questions.

Vance Clashes With CBS Host During Fiery Debate Over Refugee Program Paused by President Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President JD Vance clashed with CBS host Margaret Brennan Sunday morning when the Republican defended President Trump’s decision to halt a refugee program that quickly barred hundreds of Afghans from reaching the US last week.

Vance tore into Brennan during a sit-down interview on “Face the Nation,” arguing the vetting process refugees currently undergo is not thorough enough and that his “primary concern as the vice president is to look after the American people.”

Brennan asked whether Afghan refugees, including some who worked with the US government, should be allowed in the country, and pointed out Vance said last year he doesn’t think the country “should abandon anybody who’s been properly vetted and helped us.”

But Vance was quick to insist he doesn’t think all the refugees have been vetted the right way.

“And now that we know that we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country,” the veep added.

Mexico Refuses to Accept U.S. Deportation Flight as Trump’s Immigration Overhaul Gets Into Full Swing

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Mexico refused to allow a plane carrying illegal migrants to land in the country on Thursday after President Trump dramatically beefed up security at the border and ordered mass raids and deportations since reclaiming the White House, according to military officials.

The deportation flight was blocked from leaving the US after two Air Force C-17 flights, each carrying about 80 deportees to Guatemala, successfully took off Thursday night, NBC reported, citing two defense officials and a third person familiar with the situation.

It was not immediately clear why Mexico blocked the plane, but tensions have flared between Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum since he threatened to slap 25% tariffs on Mexican goods in response to migrants illegally crossing the border.

A White House official told the outlet via text message that “the flights thing was an administrative issue and was quickly rectified.”

The flight rejection appeared to be confusion over the Department of Defense flight manifest, according to Fox News’ Bill Melugin, who cited a senior State Department official.
