This Country Just Decriminalized Abortion

Mexico’s Supreme Court deemed all federal penalties for abortion unconstitutional, announcing the controversial decision in the predominantly Catholic country in a social media post on Wednesday evening.

The court’s First Chamber issued a ruling saying that the federal criminal code that penalizes abortion “violates the human rights of women and persons with the capacity to gestate.”

The ruling responds to legal challenges regarding three statutes in the Mexican criminal code that sanction women who choose abortion, health professionals who perform abortions, and those who pressure pregnant women to abort. (Read more from “This Country Just Decriminalized Abortion” HERE)

WATCH: Tragic Video Shows Gender Reveal Party Ends in Disaster

A gender reveal party ended in disaster as a plane attempting a stunt crashed and killed the pilot.

A couple held a gender reveal party on Saturday in Sinaloa, Mexico. The expecting mother and father hired a pilot to fly a small plane over a gender reveal party in Laguna de San Pedro, Sinaloa. The plane would release pink-dyed water over the party to signify the upcoming birth of their baby girl. However, the stunt ended in a gender reveal disaster.

The soon-to-be-parents are standing in front of an “Oh baby” sign with pink and blue balloons. The small plane flew straight above the couple and dropped pink water. Meanwhile, a cannon on the ground erupted and fired out pink confetti.

As the pilot pulled up, the plane’s wings collapsed mid-flight and the aircraft spiraled out of control. Meanwhile, the couple hug and kiss to celebrate the gender reveal as the partygoers cheer about the unborn daughter.

The plane crashed to the ground. Emergency response teams reportedly arrived at the crash site and found the pilot lying unresponsive in the plane wreckage. The pilot was taken to the Mexican Social Security Institute in Navolato, but was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Mexican Politician Convicted for ‘Misgendering’ Lawmaker in Social Media Posts, Awaits Appeal

A former Mexican congressman convicted of “gender-based political violence” over social media posts referring to a trans-identifying congressional representative as a “man who self-ascribes as a woman” is calling on the international community to intervene concerning “systematic violations of fundamental rights.”

Rodrigo Iván Cortés, the current head of the political advocacy group Frente Nacional por la Familia (National Front for the Family), addressed the Organization of American States last Wednesday as he awaits an appeal of his conviction.

“[In Mexico] the freedom of expression of citizens is canceled and their free participation in the democratic conformation of laws is prevented,” Cortés said, according to ADF International, the advocacy group supporting him.

“Unfortunately, I suffer this in my own flesh in the cases that are being carried out against me and the organization that I preside over, the National Front for the Family, for objecting to initiatives that ostensibly violate human rights.”

The charges against Cortés stem from a series of social media posts in 2022, where he allegedly “misgendered” congressional Salma Luévano, a Mexican congressional representative. (Read more from “Mexican Politician Convicted for ‘Misgendering’ Lawmaker in Social Media Posts, Awaits Appeal” HERE)

Biden DHS Is Literally Inviting Mexican Officials to Send Batches of Illegal Aliens Across the Border

Instead of stopping the illegal aliens currently swarming the border thanks to the upcoming expiration of Title 42 — a pandemic-era policy that allowed Border Patrol to immediately expel illegal migrants upon first encounter — the Biden administration is actively facilitating unlawful entries into the United States.

According to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has been coordinating with Mexican immigration officers to facilitate group swims across the border using an encrypted WhatsApp channel.

Mexican immigration officers explained to the Center for Immigration Studies that in late April, DHS initiated a “controlled-flow” system with Mexican officials.

Under the arrangement, Mexican senior officers have been continually informing U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials how many immigrants are “gathered and [are] prepared to cross the river.” Then, “the Americans on the other side would ask the Mexicans to hold back the migrants – not because such crossings are illegal and should be blocked and obstructed, but only until the Americans had finished processing the last batch,” explained Todd Bensman for the Center for Immigration Studies.

When the Americans can take more illegal migrants, they send word to the Mexican officials, who radio their on-ground immigration officers. The immigration officers “signal to the waiting crowd to go forward and, once they figure enough are in the water, they cut off the rest and push and cajole them back into line until the Americans signal they’re ready again.” (Read more from “Biden DHS Is Literally Inviting Mexican Officials to Send Batches of Illegal Aliens Across the Border” HERE)

Poll Finds Human Trafficking Top Concern in Border Crisis

Americans are very worried about human trafficking when it comes to the U.S.-Mexico border, a new poll shows ahead of a planned rally in Texas.

The Trafalgar Group‘s survey, released as officials brace for a migrant surge should the Trump-era Title 42 policy credited with blocking millions of crossings expire next month, asked likely general election voters to pick from a handful of issues stemming from the “southern border crisis” that concern them the most.

Top of the list, with 35.1% of voters, was human trafficking of women and children. In second place were 26.6% of respondents picking illegal border crossers or asylum seekers being released into the U.S. before their cases are reviewed.

After that, 14.8% said illegal border crossers with ties to international terrorist organizations, followed by 14.1% saying they are most concerned about the flow of fentanyl and other dangerous drugs. The remaining 9.4% said none of the above.

Conducted in partnership with the Convention of States Action, a conservative group, the nationwide poll surveyed 1,096 likely general election voters from April 11 through April 14. The Trafalgar Group says the poll has a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points. (Read more from “Poll Finds Human Trafficking Top Concern in Border Crisis” HERE)

You’re Sorry? Gulf Cartel Apologizes, Turns Over 5 Members Tied to Americans’ Deadly Kidnapping

A secretive faction of Mexico’s notorious Gulf Cartel apologized and turned in five members who they say are responsible for the broad-daylight kidnapping that killed two Americans last week.

The cartel’s Scorpions group said it “decided to turn over those who were directly involved and responsible in the events” related to the March 3 abduction of four Americans in the border city of Matamoros, according to a letter leaked to the Associated Press by a Tamaulipas state law enforcement source.

The letter also claimed the five members “acted under their own decision-making and lack of discipline” when they attacked victims Latavia “Tay” McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown and Eric James Williams.

McGee and Williams were found injured but alive in a dingy shack on Tuesday after a four-day search. Woodard and Brown, however, had been shot dead.

The ambush, the letter states, went against the Gulf Cartel’s policy of “respecting the life and well-being of the innocent.” (Read more from “You’re Sorry? Gulf Cartel Apologizes, Turns Over 5 Members Tied to Americans’ Deadly Kidnapping” HERE)

Two of the Four Americans Kidnapped After Shootout in Mexico Found Dead

Two of the four US citizens violently kidnapped in Mexico last week have been found dead and two others alive, officials announced Tuesday.

One of the surviving Americans was wounded and the other was unharmed, Tamaulipas Gov. Américo Villarreal said.

The foursome from South Carolina — identified as Latavia “Tay” McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown, and Eric James Williams — were abducted at gunpoint in broad daylight on March 3, shortly after they crossed the border from Texas into the border city of Matamoros in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas.

The group of friends had traveled to Mexico for a cosmetic medical procedure when they were shot at and forced into the back of a pickup truck, according to relatives.

McGee was scheduled for a tummy tuck surgery on the day of the kidnapping, said her mother, Barbara Burgess. Her pals had accompanied her on the trip. (Read more from “Two of the Four Americans Kidnapped After Shootout in Mexico Found Dead HERE)

Biden Border Crisis: 1000 Migrants Cross Border Into Texas Overnight; ’One of Largest-ever Single Migrant Crossing Events in U.S. History’ (VIDEO)

By Breitbart. Video reports from El Paso, Texas, indicate that a record-setting large group of more than 1,000 migrants crossed the border overnight from Mexico. Border Patrol agents reportedly have more than 5,000 in custody with nowhere to place new migrant arrivals.

A video tweeted by @PSAFLIVE Monday morning reveals a steady stream of migrants crossing the border from Mexico into El Paso. The group of more than 1,000 migrants who crossed overnight is understood to be one of the largest-ever single migrant crossing events in U.S. history.

The crossings come in advance of this month’s expected end to Title 42 migrant removals and a visit to the El Paso area this week by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, as reported by KRQE’s Border Report.

Biden Admin Policy Move Will Pulverize Americans’ Pocketbooks for Good, National Security Expert Warns

By Fox Business. As massive migrant caravans continue to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, one national security expert signaled the border crisis will only get worse for Americans – and their pocketbooks – once the Biden administration drops Title 42.

“The numbers coming across are already being felt across the nation in your schools, health care system, crime, every sector of the American economy and our social fabric,” “Overrun” author Todd Bensman said on “Mornings with Maria” Monday. “Whether the president wants to admit it or not, Americans are going to feel this in the pocketbook for a long, long time, probably permanently.”

Officials at the southern border are reportedly seeing massive migrant numbers at the southern border, along with a number of large groups, ahead of the expected end of the ability to expel migrants under the Title 42 public health order in a few weeks.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources told Fox News that migrant numbers for FY 2023, which began in October, are at over 485,000 and are expected to hit the half a million mark this weekend. So far, 156,000 have been expelled under Title 42.

“The intelligence community is saying that when they drop Title 42 on December 21st, assuming that happens, that we’ll be looking at anywhere from 12,000 to 18,000 [crossings] a day,” Bensman told host Maria Bartiromo. “That’s just an absolute Category 5 hurricane we’ve never experienced before in the United States.” (Read more from “Biden Admin Policy Move Will Pulverize Americans’ Pocketbooks for Good, National Security Expert Warns” HERE)

Seven More Texas Counties Express Support for Declaring Invasion at Border; Bringing Total to 40

Forty Texas counties have now declared an invasion at the southern U.S. border with Mexico, or have expressed support for Texas declaring an invasion. More are in the process of doing so, according to sources who’ve spoken to The Center Square.

The most recent to join the invasion call include the judges and commissioners of Collin, Fannin, Leon, Navarro, Shackelford, Somervell and Waller counties.

They are calling on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to formally declare an invasion and repel it, which he has yet to do. The governor cited the invasion clauses of the Texas Constitution and U.S. Constitution in a Nov. 14 letter to county judges and in a Nov. 16 letter to President Joe Biden. He also wrote letters to the heads of the Texas Military Department and Department of Public Safety.

In his letter to judges, Abbott refers to a July 7 executive order he issued two days after the judges of Kinney, Goliad and Terrell first declared an invasion. The executive order doesn’t declare an invasion, it authorizes Texas law enforcement officers to apprehend illegal foreign nationals and return them to ports of entry. After Abbott tweeted content from part of the letter to judges without providing context, many misreported that he declared an invasion.

As a Trinity University professor explained to KSAT News, “You can’t declare the invasion via Twitter. There is a process to name it, to give a date to it, to put it out in kind of a public way.” (Read more from “Seven More Texas Counties Express Support for Declaring Invasion at Border; Bringing Total to 40” HERE)

October’s Border Arrests Are the Third Highest in U.S. History

Despite a general lack of concern among Democrats and corporate media, the U.S.-Mexico border continues to spiral out of control, setting new records for illegal border crossings nearly every month now.

In October, more than 230,000 illegal immigrants were arrested along the southwest border, the third-highest monthly total in U.S. history, according to new data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Only May and April of this year have been worse than October, with 235,785 and 241,136 arrests, respectively.

Prior to the Biden administration, monthly arrests at the border rarely exceeded 100,000. In October 2020, for example, roughly 45,000 illegal border-crossers were arrested by CBP. But now it has become commonplace. Every month since March, arrests have surpassed 200,000.

For some historical perspective on the October 2022 numbers, consider that in all of 2017 there were only about 303,000 border arrests, total. And just 46,000 in October of that year. (Read more from “October’s Border Arrests Are the Third Highest in U.S. History” HERE)
