Trump Team Plans UK-Rwanda Inspired Deportation System.

Donald Trump could send migrants to safe countries overseas to receive asylum. The plan is inspired by a deal the British government has struck with Paul Kagame’s government in Rwanda, diverting migrants seeking asylum in Britain to the African country. It is believed sending migrants to safe third countries like Rwanda, instead of hosting them in the West, will discourage “asylum shopping” and bogus claims of persecution by economic migrants.

Outside advisors to Trump’s team have “started identifying countries in South America, including Panama, and in Africa” where asylum seekers could be sent, according to the Wall Street Journal. Trump struck a deal that diverted around 1,000 asylum seekers from El Salvador and Honduras to Guatemala in 2019 so they could seek asylum in that country instead of the United States.

The Anglo-Rwandan deal dates to 2022 but has been mired in constant delays by activists bringing lawsuits before left-leaning judges. The British authorities only sent their first migrant to Rwanda — who went voluntarily — towards the end of April. Raids have been launched to detain further migrants for forcible removal pending further lawsuits.

However, a deal to divert asylum seekers from the U.S. to third countries could work more effectively than the Rwanda deal. Australia, which used to experience significant issues with migrants making dangerous voyages to its territory by sea, struck a deal to remove any seaborne migrants to third countries in the Pacific for processing in 2013. Even if found to be genuine refugees, these boat migrants would be hosted in countries other than Australia — lowering arrivals to nearly zero for many years.

Two Migrants in Custody After Trying to Breach Marine Base.

Two individuals, one of whom is reportedly on the U.S. terrorist watchlist, are presently in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody following an alleged attempt to breach the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. The pair, driving a delivery truck, were apprehended by military sentries on May 3, according to base spokesman Capt. Michael Curtis.

The duo claimed to be fulfilling a delivery under an Amazon subcontractor and were stopped due to a lack of appropriate credentials. Upon being directed to comply with standard vetting procedures, the truck’s driver purportedly tried to force entry onto the base. This resulted in military officers executing vehicle denial measures, subsequently detaining the individuals and placing them into ICE custody.

Details concerning the immigrants’ status are currently undetermined. However, according to Potomac Local News: “Multiple sources report one of the individuals inside the truck is a Jordanian foreign national who recently crossed the southern border into the U.S., and that one of the occupants is on the U.S. terrorist watch list.”

The incident highlights the inherent national security threat of the ongoing border crisis. In March, a Lebanese illegal alien and professed member of Hezbollah was apprehended trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. He admitted his intention to build a bomb and target New York.

INVASION! ‘Gotaways’ At U.S. Border Have TRIPLED Under Biden.

The number of “gotaways” — a term for illegal aliens who evade Border Patrol — has seen a marked rise under the Biden government, growing 340 percent from the peak numbers during former President Donald J. Trump‘s term in office. U.S. Customs and Border Protection data reveals that over 670,000 illegal immigrants were able to avoid agents and immediate detainment in fiscal year 2023.

Between 2021, when Biden first took office, and the end of the fiscal year 2023 last October, Customs and Border Protection estimates that 1.6 million “gotaways” entered the country illegally, avoiding capture. Overall, estimates reveal that it is likely over 13 million illegal immigrants have entered the country under the Biden government. However, many of these individuals were initially detained by border agents and then subsequently released into the U.S. interior after claiming asylum. At the time of their release, these alleged asylum seekers are given an immigration court date — however, these legal proceedings often don’t take place for several years or more.

Under former President Trump, the number of “gotaways” never exceeded 151,000 in a single fiscal year — with the peak occurring in 2019 prior to the pandemic. The Obama government recorded a “gotaways” high of 171,000 in the fiscal year 2013. The Biden government’s refusal to take serious action to tackle the ongoing border crisis has fueled a flood of illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The method for calculating “gotaways” involves taking into account the number of detected illegal immigrants who did not make contact with Border Patrol officers through various means, such as sensors, cameras, and footprints. According to the Biden government, the total number of illegal immigrants encountered while attempting to enter the U.S. exceeded 3.2 million in the fiscal year 2023.

REVEALED: Taxpayer-Funded Election Org Trained ‘Non-Citizens’ to Vote in U.S. Elections.

Documents obtained by watchdog group Judicial Watch reveal that the Washington, D.C., Board of Elections held a training event aimed at teaching illegal aliens to vote in D.C. elections. The “Non-Citizen Voting Education Virtual Training” was held in April following the announcement of noncitizen voting in D.C.

The findings, brought to light through a FOIA request, were slammed by Judicial Watch’s president, Tom Fitton. “Illegal aliens and noncitizens should not vote in any elections,” Fitton said. “That Congress allows the votes of citizens to be legally stolen by illegal aliens in our nation’s capital is inexcusable.”

Responding to the documents, Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy expressed concerns about “radical progressive Democrats” in the D.C. city government championing illegal alien voting rights. “The radical progressive Democrats in the D.C. city government couldn’t be prouder of the fact that they’re going to have illegal aliens voting in their elections,” Roy told the Daily Mail. “[Y]et, they want us to believe that it’s going to stop there, and that none of them are going to try — or be encouraged — to illegally vote in federal elections? Give me a break.”

Roy is promoting his SAVE Act as a response to this development. The bill would prohibit non-citizens from participating in federal elections and mandate proof of citizenship before voting. It would also ensure that all states actively remove non-citizens from their voter rolls and penalize errant election officials.

Earlier this month, a report found that noncitizens are illegally voting in elections across the country and are three times more likely to vote for Democrats.

WATCH: Politician Demands Entry for MILLIONS of Gazans, Calls Them ‘Highly Intelligent, Skilled, Doctors and Academics.’

A Member of Parliament (MP) for Britain’s Labour Party, projected to win the next British election by a landslide, wants to open the country’s borders to Palestinian families from Gaza, claiming they are extremely skilled and intelligent. The average IQ in Gaza is, in fact, lower than 70, which is regarded as functionally retarded.

“We should be able to put in place things through our immigration system… [which] allows those people to leave [Gaza], and leave quickly, and to arrive on our shores and to safe haven as quickly as possible,” argued Sam Tarry MP, a member of the Socialist Campaign Group parliamentary caucus.

“I believe, actually, that on top of that those people should be able, where able, to work immediately, because many of those people are doctors, they are academics, you know, the Gazan people are highly, highly skilled, and [an] incredibly intelligent and well-educated workforce of people, and many of them would absolutely love to do that and give their contribution in return [from] safety from the refuge from the barbarity [sic] they are facing,” Tarry insisted.

HIGHLY SKILLED?

Similar arguments were made about the Syrian migration wave of 2015-16 being replete with doctors and engineers. However, German researchers later found that almost two-thirds could not even read or write.

Gaza and the West Bank have suspiciously high official literacy rates, with only 3.3 percent unable to read or write — much lower than in neighboring Israel or the United States. However, research by British and Saudi academics conducted in 2012-13 found the average IQ in Gaza at 67.9, within the range of mild intellectual disability.

Tellingly, the King of Jordan, Abdullah II, has stated he does not want any Gazan refugees. Similarly, the Egyptian government has warned it does not want Gazan refugees and will send them to Europe if they enter Egypt en masse.

A majority of adults in the Gaza Strip voted for Hamas the last time it held elections, in 2006, and a majority of the population has now been raised under Hamas. Between 71 percent and 85 percent of Palestinians support the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Illegal Deported by Trump Re-Entered U.S. Recently, Now Charged with Killing 3-Month-Old.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has confirmed that Melvin Jesus Aquino Enriquez, a Mexican illegal alien charged with causing grievous physical harm to a three-month-old child who later died, was previously deported from the U.S. under Donald Trump. The 26-year-old illegal alien is also accused of violently strangling the infant’s mother.

Aquino Enriquez, featured in The National Pulse’s most recent migrant crime round-up, is now confirmed to have been arrested for criminal trespass in Harris County, Texas, in March 2020. He was subject to an ICE detainer and eventually issued with a deportation order in September and repatriated to Mexico.

“On an unknown date and at an unknown location, Aquino illegally re-entered the U.S. On April 15, 2024, [Enforcement Removal Operations] Houston immigration officers encountered Aquino at the Montgomery County (Texas) Jail following his arrest for allegedly assaulting a woman and her infant child and an immigration detainer was lodged with the jail,” an ICE spokesman said, adding that the agency “mourns the tragic loss of this young life.”

Currently, Aquino Enriquez is charged with causing injury to a child and assault-family violence. However, further charges may be added following an autopsy to “further determine the circumstances leading to the untimely and devastating death of the child.”

Many illegal aliens who commit crimes in the U.S. prove to be people previously released by Border Patrol, previously deported, or previously arrested or even convicted of crimes on U.S. soil.  These include Laken Riley’s suspected murderer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, who was wanted for shoplifting and skipping court when he allegedly killed the nursing student.

Nevertheless, Democrat Senators voted against the Laken Riley Act, which would have required illegal aliens responsible for thefts, burglary, larceny, or shoplifting to be detained until their deportation.

Surprise! Look Who’s Raking in Cash from Biden’s Border Crisis.

Taxpayers’ dollars earmarked to aid asylum seekers and other legal and illegal immigrants who have entered the United States under the Biden government have proved to be a windfall for left-wing nonprofits working on resettlement programs. Ostensibly, migrant resettlement is overseen by the federal government. However, the federal departments involved often contract certain tasks out to nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). This is allegedly done as a cost-saving measure.

The Unaccompanied Children Program, run by the Biden Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), is charged with the care and resettlement of unaccompanied migrant minors who enter the United States. However, much of the work done by The Unaccompanied Children Program — and the ORR — is contracted out to a handful of nonprofits and NGOs.

Three of the largest beneficiaries of the government contracts are Global Refuge, Southwest Key Programs, and Endeavors, Inc., which have seen their revenue grow from $597 million in 2019 to $2 billion in 2022. “The amount of taxpayer money they are getting is obscene,” said Charles Marino, a former adviser to Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, in a recent interview with The Free Press.

Nonprofit and NGO groups like Global Refuge, Southwest Key Programs, and Endeavors, Inc. have spent millions of taxpayer dollars on frivolous programs, including pet therapy sessions and “people-plant interactions.” In one instance, Endeavors, Inc. paid a music therapist $533,000 in a single year. Additionally, Endeavors shelled out nearly $8 million for housing migrants in hotels.

The ORR budget, which has ballooned from $1.8 billion in 2018 to at least $7.3 billion this fiscal year, is fueling the migrant cash-in. Groups like Endeavors, Inc. can receive upwards of 99 percent of their budget in taxpayer dollars from the federal government.

Biden’s DHS Released Illegal Convicted of Murder.

Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a convicted killer and illegal alien from Colombia into the United States. At the time of his arrest at the U.S.-Mexico border near San Luis, Arizona, in November 2023, United States Border Patrol agents did not realize that the 49-year-old Colombian national was a convicted murderer. He was subsequently given a Notice To Appear (NTA) and released into the United States.

The Colombian national was arrested in his home country in 2016 and convicted of murder, receiving a 17-year prison sentence. It is unclear why he was released or able to leave his home country and make his way to the United States. Former President Donald J. Trump has routinely accused nations in Central and South America of emptying their prisons and sending dangerous criminals with whom they no longer wish to deal north to the U.S. border.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested the Colombian national again on May 6, 2024, near Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where he resided. The National Pulse has previously reported that the generous sanctuary laws in Massachusetts have made it attractive to illegal aliens. Massachusetts courts have also made it increasingly difficult for federal immigration officials to secure detainers on illegals arrested by state and local police.

Congress estimates Biden‘s DHS releases tens of thousands of illegal aliens into the interior United States every few weeks. Meanwhile, internal DHS data suggests upwards of 85 percent of illegals encountered by U.S. border agents are subsequently released into the country after processing. Biden’s Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who was impeached by House Republicans but not removed by the Senate, has refused multiple requests by Congress for comprehensive data detailing how many illegal immigrants have been released into the country.

Feds Warn: Terror Groups Could Target Pride Month.

In a joint public service announcement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have cautioned that foreign terrorist organizations may target “LGBTQIA+-related events and venues” during Pride Month in June.

“Organizations like ISIS may seek to exploit increased gatherings associated with the upcoming June 2024 Pride Month,” the agencies said.

The threat is intensified by the existing heightened threat environment resulting from the war in Gaza, the FBI and DHS believe. They note the Islamic State “called for followers to conduct attacks on unidentified soft targets” last February, although not “LGBTQIA+ venues” specifically. They also note that June 12 will be the eighth anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub Orlando shooting in Florida, which saw 49 people at a gay nightclub killed by a jihadist of Afghan heritage.

In April, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that the U.S. faces an “elevated” risk of a jihadist attack similar to the one at the Crocus City Hall concert near Moscow, Russia, which saw 145 people killed by Tajik migrants.

“Our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home. But now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall,” Wray told Congress.

The Russians responded to the Crocus Hall attack, which they have linked to the Ukrainian government, by organizing mass deportations.

EU Pushes ‘Migrant Pact’ In Last Ditch Move to Halt Populist Surge in Continent-Wide Elections Next Month.

In an attempt to starve the populist right of political capital, the European Union (EU) has endorsed vast reforms to its asylum system to address the controversial issues that arose due to unregulated migration during the 2015 migrant crisis. The reforms were approved as part of The New Pact on Migration and Asylum, a set of legislative changes aimed at handling unauthorized entries more effectively.

Despite opposition by Hungary and Poland, other EU member states embraced the revisions eagerly, hoping they will resolve disagreements that have been simmering since the sudden influx of over a million migrants, primarily from war-torn areas like Syria and Iraq.

These changes, however, will not be implemented until 2026, deferring any immediate solution to the issue that has split nations over their responsibilities towards migrants. Critics have expressed concerns that this pact may end in more exploitative agreements with poorer nations that people flee or traverse to reach Europe.

In the new system, countries of first arrival will screen migrants and store the information in a new database, Eurodac. If the law is enacted and enforced fully by member countries, the newly approved reforms will mark a significant shift in the EU’s handling of migration, giving countries a degree of flexibility in lending asylum support while ensuring stricter border protocols. This change has already received pushback, notably from Hungary, spotlighting challenges that lie ahead in the implementation process.

Concerns over mass migration have been a driving factor in increasing European support for right-wing populist parties, such as Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Germany, Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Netherlands, and National Rally (RN) in France. Right-wing populist parties have seen a surge in support over the last few years and are expected to make significant gains in the European elections next month.
