A lawsuit reveals Biden's CBP is refusing to disclose airports where it is flying undocumented aliens from other countries. Biden's expansion of the CBP One app allows migrants to apply for asylum in their country, be flown to the U.S. and given two-years to obtain legal status.

Former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan argues the death of a Georgia student is a result of the Biden administration’s immigration policy failures. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Sunday confirmed that the Venezuelan national charged in connection with the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and had previously been arrested in New York City. Fox News had previously reported that 26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra, charged with the murder of Riley on the University of Georgia campus, had crossed into the U.S. illegally near El Paso in September 2022 and was paroled...

In this episode of You Can't Make It Up... According to a whistleblower report sent to Congress on Friday, the chief medical officer for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pressured his staff to order fentanyl lollipops for him to take to the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York in September. When the top doc was caught, his excuse was even more idiotic than his desperate effort to get his hands on the deadly drug — disguised as lollipops, no less. Dr. Alexander Eastman’s staff raised questions about why he would need to fentanyl lollipops to take to the...

Is there going to be a major confrontation on the border following Joe Biden's ultimatum that Texas National Guard forces be removed from Shelby Park and other "disputed" areas? Not if the rank-and-file of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol have anything to say about it. According to a new post put out by the Border Patrol Union, and a new report from Griff Jenkins of Fox News, Biden has lost operational control of the situation, at least in a practical sense.

WASHINGTON — A closely-divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Border Patrol agents to cut through or move razor wire Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of an effort by the state to prevent illegal border crossings. The court on a 5-4 vote granted an emergency request filed by the Biden administration, which had argued that Texas was preventing agents from carrying out their duties. The brief order noted that four conservative members of the nine-justice court would have rejected the government's request. They were Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Amid the still-worsening border chaos created by the policies of President Joe Biden, Texas has refused to accept what the Secretary of Homeland Security still can't bring himself to call a "crisis." The Lone Star State's latest action on Thursday: seizing a swath of city-owned parkland along the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, kicking federal border agents off the property, and enforcing the international border with Mexico. Shelby Park — the land seized by the Texas National Guard — sits adjacent to the International Bridge where surges of illegal immigrants stream into the U.S. Over the span of just a...

Washington — Texas state officials this week abruptly blocked federal U.S. Border Patrol agents from entering and patrolling a public area in the border town of Eagle Pass where they typically first encounter migrants who cross the Rio Grande illegally, two U.S. officials told CBS News on Thursday. After seizing control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas National Guard units deployed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott have prevented Border Patrol agents from entering the area, the federal officials said. Border Patrol has used the park in recent weeks to hold migrants in an outdoor staging area before they are...

The Texas National Guard has seized control of a park at the U.S. southern border and is now blocking Border Patrol from entering the area — part of an effort to stop the surge of illegal immigration into Texas and a move likely to significantly increase tensions between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the federal government. The state government has taken control of Shelby Park in the city of Eagle Pass, Texas, which has been at the center of the migrant crisis that has engulfed the U.S. border. Authorities have now set up razor wire and fences to block off...

Top House Homeland Security Committee Democrat Bennie Thompson (D-MS) used a hearing on the border crisis to instead call for the impeachment of Donald Trump. In the kickoff hearing in impeachment proceedings for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Thompson, who chaired Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) Select Committee on January 6, did not mention the words “border,” “cartel,” or “opioid” during his questioning of witnesses. Instead, he only addressed the Democrat witness, law professor Frank Bowman, while making the case for Trump’s impeachment. He failed to use the full time allotted to him, time which could have been used to ask...

(The Center Square) – More than 10 million people have been reported illegally entering the United States since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the greatest number in history and of any administration. They total more than the individual populations of 41 states. The number of people illegally entering the country surged after Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas halted many preexisting border security policies, advanced sweeping parole and other policies to release the greatest number of illegal foreign nationals into the country, encouraged people from all over the world to use a phone app...

The San Diego Field Office Intelligence Division of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has warned in a memo that members of terrorist groups — namely Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) — could be encountered at the porous southern border. The warning comes weeks after the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel, murdering 1,400 individuals and taking many more hostage on October 7.

Thousands of "special interest aliens" from numerous countries, including the Middle East, have been arrested by Border Patrol agents while attempting to cross the U.S. southern border illegally over the last two years, according to internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data leaked to Fox News. "Special interest aliens" are people from countries identified by the U.S. government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the U.S. That data, confirmed by multiple CBP sources and reflects apprehensions between ports of entry between October 2021 and October 2023, shows that...

Those suffering from chronic neck pain can alleviate the symptoms on the way to full recovery if they adopt optimal posture and spinal alignment, according to a study. The study evaluated two widely-used corrective approaches to remedy chronic non-specific neck pain caused by forward head posture (FHP) and CBP rehabilitation and traditional exercise programs. "The CBP technique is a posture-correcting method that depends on stretching the viscous and plastic elements of the longitudinal ligament and intervertebral disks, in addition to effectively stretching the soft tissue through the entire neck area in the direction of normal head and neck postures," the...

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has purportedly partnered with AI tech firm Fivecast to deploy social media surveillance software that, according to its proprietor, can detect “problematic” emotions of social media users and subsequently report them to law enforcement for further action. According to a post on pjmedia.com, “Outlet 404, through FOIA requests, uncovered various Fivecast marketing documents elaborating on its software’s utility for law enforcement.” 404’s report on said documents stated: Customs and Border Protection (CBP), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has bought millions of...

251,487 illegals crossed in December alone Fresh figures released by the Customs and Border Protection Agency have revealed that a record amount of illegal crossings were recorded in December, with 17 individuals on the terrorism watchlist apprehended. The numbers, released Friday, show that 251,487 illegal immigrants crossed the border in December, the highest monthly total in history. That isn’t the entire story, however. There were over 70 thousand ‘getaways’ in December alone, meaning illegals who crossed and evaded Border Patrol. That brings the total for this fiscal year, which began last October, to more than 278,000, or 2,465 every single...
