A TikTok influencer is advising illegal immigrants on how to 'invade' American homes and invoke squatter's rights, making it difficult for them to be removed from properties. Leonel Moreno, who goes by @leitooficial_25 online and appears to be a Venezuelan migrant, has told undocumented immigrants that under US law, 'if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it'. He is referring to squatter's rights, or adverse possession laws - a common law principle that allows an illegal inhabitant to acquire ownership of a property based on continuous occupation without the legal owner's consent. Moreno, alleging he has friends who...

A TikTok influencer is advising illegal immigrants on how to 'invade' American homes and invoke squatter's rights, making it difficult for them to be removed from properties. Moreno, alleging he has friends who 'have already taken about seven homes', argued the only way for migrants to not live in the streets or be a 'public burden' is to 'seize' and 'invade' abandoned properties.

I entered duty with the U.S. Border Patrol in 1995, back when there were only 5,000 people (Agents and support personnel) in all of the USBP. I was the Director of the Aircraft Maintenance Facility in Del Rio, Texas in the Del Rio Border Patrol Sector My guys maintained Piper Super Cubs and Aerospatiale A-Star AS-350 helicopters for our cadre of pilots. Back then, the Chief Pilot and I collected daily Air Operations performance data. The pilots annotated (after flight) on their flight logs how many aerial-assisted apprehensions (APPs) they performed as well as the number of GOT AWAYs pilots...

Immigration judges dismissed deportation cases against some 200,000 migrants under President Biden because the Department of Homeland Security failed to file the required paperwork before their court dates, according to a new report. The DHS’s failure to file thousands of notices to appear before scheduled hearing dates left courts without jurisdiction to handle deportation cases and rule on asylum claims, according to a report released Wednesday by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. “These large numbers of dismissals and what then happens raise serious concerns,” the TRAC report, which includes data through February 2024, states. The nonpartisan research...

Air DeSantis could be taking off again as the Florida governor’s crusade against the Biden border crisis left Martha’s Vineyard on notice. Haiti has become only the latest nation to fall into turmoil on President Joe Biden’s watch as the halcyon days of peace through strength were abandoned amidst a sense of chaos through corruption. Compounding crises haven’t impeded Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) from leading the Sunshine State to proactive solutions that included a callback to a tide-turning measure impacting sanctuary city sentiments. Appearing on “The Dana Loesch Show,” the statesman addressed how the federal government could impede deportation...

Police tracking drugs in our area are sounding the alarm with cocaine and meth making a comeback. Metro Detroit law enforcement is warning of an uptick in meth and cocaine use across the area. "The danger of this is significant to everybody," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard. "Basically the cost of cocaine, the cost of meth, all of that has gone down to about a third of what it was two years ago." Bouchard says it is a supply and demand issue, combined with the already troubling amounts of fentanyl coming into the states. He says it is a...

Once upon a time, America was such a beautiful place. As a nation, we are blessed with great natural beauty, and the shiny, clean cities that we constructed from coast to coast were once the envy of the entire world. But now many of the most beautiful places in America have literally been turned into open toilets. Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. Decades ago, California beaches were so spectacular that tourists would come from all over the world to experience them. But now the beaches in one section of southern California resemble “a...

The Supreme Court on Monday indefinitely delayed a Texas law that would empower state authorities to arrest and deport migrants, an effort by Republican legislators to give the state immigration enforcement powers long left solely to the federal government. For the second time, Justice Samuel Alito extended a stay halting the law, known as Senate Bill 4. The order was released minutes after a 4 p.m. deadline, prompting initial confusion over whether the court decided to let the law stand. Alito offered no explanation in the single-page order and did not set a deadline on the latest extension, blocking the...

Behind a West Loop migrant shelter, dozens of cars sit without license plates. Several of their owners stand nearby, acknowledging they lack licenses to drive them. But they increasingly have been driving, according to a Chicago Tribune analysis of police data that suggests sharp rises in arrests among migrants for breaking traffic laws. The analysis found many are now being detained in Chicago each week for driving- or vehicle-related infractions, roughly at five times the rate from last summer. “Start where you are. Do what you can. Use what you have,” said Jose Fernandez, 30, from Trujillo, Venezuela. It’s difficult...

A woman wanted in connection with several brutal, gang-related murders in Mexico was recently arrested inside the United States. On February 15, the combined efforts of the FBI Safe Streets Gang Task Force, the El Paso Police Gang Unit, County Sheriff's Narcotics Division, and Border Patrol resulted in victory when agents arrested Mexican fugitive Michelle Angelica Pineda, sometimes referred to as La Chely, in a motel in eastern El Paso, Texas. American and Mexican law enforcement officials believe that Pineda, a Mexican national, crossed the U.S. border illegally as part of a drug-trafficking ring perpetrated by the violent street gang...

Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are flooding into U.S. hospitals for treatment and leaving billions in uncompensated health care costs in their wake. The House Committee on Homeland Security recently released a report illustrating that from the estimated $451 billion in annual costs stemming from the U.S. border crisis, a significant portion is going to health care for illegal immigrants.With the majority of the illegal immigrant population lacking any kind of medical insurance, hospitals and government welfare programs such as Medicaid are feeling the weight of these unanticipated costs.Apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the U.S. border have jumped 48...

More than 1,000 drones per month are crossing into US airspace near the border with Mexico, a top general told lawmakers Thursday. The number of unmanned drone incursions is “alarming” and presents a “growing” potential threat to national security, Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot, the commander of North American Defense Command and US Northern Command, said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. “The number of incursions was something that was alarming to me as I took command last month,” Guillot said in response to a question from Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC). “I don’t know the actual number – I...

The altercation was likely due to the illegal immigrants attempting to cross the border without cartel permission. . Members of a Mexican cartel opened fire on illegal immigrants who were utilizing Uber rides to cross the into the US across southern border unlawfully... The incident occurred in Caborca, an area heavily under the control of Mexican cartels. The victims, all from Ecuador, were traveling in three separate Uber vehicles when they came under attack from the cartel. Tragically, one woman lost her life in the shooting, while four others sustained injuries. According to an internal Border patrol memo leaked to...

Democrats have a tendency to telegraph their weaknesses. They tend to collectively whine on X (Twitter) and reveal those weaknesses. They whined about how what Trump did is different from Biden with regard to handling classified information (it's not), how Biden is mentally intact (he's not) and recently how Trump is responsible for the border crisis (he's not). In a horrible example of disrespect and callousness, democrats are telling us that Laken Riley's murder is unimportant. Joy Reid said her death was really "negligible." She also said that talking about Riley's death was "demagoguing." The black-baby-abortion loving "Reverend" Raphael Warnock...

As the government of Haiti appears poised to collapse in the face of a violent revolution by criminal gangs, the nearby U.S. state of Florida is preparing for a tidal wave of illegal aliens from the devastated island nation. According to Politico, lawmakers in Florida have already issued warnings about the potential national security risk of so many third-world illegals coming to the U.S. as a result of the humanitarian crisis, especially as Congress has not yet determined a definitive policy towards Haiti. “The instability in Haiti impacts every Haitian throughout the diaspora,” said State Representative Dotie Joseph (D-Fla.). “It’s...

Senate Democrats have unanimously defeated Sen. Bill Hagerty’s (R-Tenn.) proposal to bar illegal immigrants from being counted in the national census, warning that their numbers go toward informing the apportioning of House seats and the Electoral College. Soon after President Joe Biden took office in 2021, he signed an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to determine the population of each state in the United States without regard to whether residents have lawful immigration status. The amendment, which would be added to the Equal Representation Act that Sen. Hagerty proposed last month, would require the Census Bureau to include a...

Turns out our Pentagon betters know less, not more, than ordinary people about the kinds of threats we face from an open border. The Deep State is full of strange characters, but few are as strange as the one undercover journalist James O'Keefe picked out for a feature on Pentagon policymakers, a character named Jason Beck whose title is Associate Director, Total Force Requirements & Sourcing Policy at the Secretary of Defense's Office. He spoke to O'Keefe with a full wokester menu of opening the border, disarming the population, abolishing the Second Amendment, abolishing the Electoral College, abolishing the Senate,...

Once upon a time long, long ago in a galaxy far away... The large telescope at Arecibo intercepted some transmissions from a planet in this galaxy that must have been traveling for eons. The transmissions were decoded and translated and put onto video so that we might learn from them. On that planet there were beings who objected an illegal invasion. Other beings were using the invaders for slavery. The united beings made very clear how illegal invasion was wrong and how it needed to be stopped and controlled. They spoke of how it took jobs from other beings. One...

Even as President Joe Biden attempts to reassure the public that he is taking the ongoing border crisis very seriously, his administration is quietly continuing to use every presidential authority available to them to import mass numbers of migrants with virtually no screening process or safeguards in place. The corporate press, predictably, has run cover for Biden up every step of the way. One representative recent example of the media’s intentional obfuscation of the true extent of Biden’s culpability in the immigration disaster gripping the nation is a March 6 Associated Press “fact check” article on Biden’s use of the...
