Canada Caves to Trump Tariff Threat, Boosts Border Security.

The Canadian government is indicating it will pursue tougher border enforcement to help crack down on illegal immigration drug trafficking across their border with the United States. The move comes after President-elect Donald J. Trump threatened late last month to enact a 25 percent tariff on all goods coming from Canada and Mexico unless they cooperate with his efforts to secure America’s southern and northern borders.

“We got, I think, a mutual understanding of what they’re concerned about in terms of border security,” said Dominic LeBlanc, Canada’s Minister of Public Safety. LeBlanc accompanied Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week on a trip to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in West Palm Beach, Florida, where the two leaders discussed greater cooperation on border security. He emphasized: “All of their concerns are shared by Canadians and by the government of Canada.”

LeBlanc continued: “We talked about the security posture currently at the border that we believe to be effective, and we also discussed additional measures and visible measures that we’re going to put in place over the coming weeks.”

The Trudeau government in Canada staunchly backed open borders policies until Trump’s landslide election victory over Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris in early November. After Trump’s election and tariff threat, Trudeau pivoted his position, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) announcing they will beef up border enforcement and bring on more staff to deal with illegal immigrants.

While much of the U.S. corporate media focus has been on the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border with Mexico, the northern border has seen its fair share of encounters with those trying to enter the U.S. unlawfully.

The Illegal Muslim Migrant Who Murdered a Jew Appears to Have Committed Suicide in Jail.

Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, the 22-year-old Mauritanian national who was held on charges related to a shooting incident in Chicago, was found dead in his jail cell in what authorities describe as an “apparent suicide attempt by hanging.” The Cook County Sheriff’s Office reported that staff discovered Abdallahi unresponsive during a routine check at the facility’s medical unit. Emergency measures were implemented, and he was transported to a hospital but was subsequently declared deceased.

On October 26, Abdallahi allegedly shot a Jewish man en route to a synagogue in Chicago. The incident escalated when law enforcement and first responders arrived on the scene, and Abdallahi reportedly opened fire, shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the exchange. Although Abdallahi sustained injuries in the firefight, responding officers escaped without harm. An ambulance from the Chicago Fire Department was hit during the gunfire exchange.

Prosecutors had argued that Abdallahi was involved in a broader plan targeting several Jewish institutions, including schools and community centers. Evidence suggesting he had mapped out these locations was presented in court.

Following the shooting incident, Abdallahi was initially hospitalized due to his injuries but was later transferred to jail custody. Despite the current designation of suicide, the Illinois State Police Public Integrity Task Force is set to carry out an independent inquiry into his death. While authorities have ruled out foul play, the investigation continues to ensure all circumstances are thoroughly examined.

FACT CHECK: UK Mass Migration Exploded to Over 900,000 Last Year.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has slammed the Conservatives (Tories) who governed Britain from 2010 until July this year over revised Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures showing net immigration hit an astonishing 906,000 in the year to June 2023. Previous, provisional ONS numbers showed net immigration had fallen compared to the year to June 2022, but, as in previous years, the government statistician has since found many tens of thousands of additional migrants it missed in its initial estimate.

“A failure on this scale isn’t just bad luck, it isn’t a global trend or taking your eye off the ball—no, this is a different order of failure,” said Starmer, of the far-left Labour Party, arguing: “Brexit was used… to turn Britain into a One Nation experiment in open borders. ‘Global Britain’—remember that slogan? That is what they meant. A policy with no support and which they then pretended wasn’t happening,” he added.

“And now they want to wave it away with a simple ‘we got it wrong.’ Well, that’s unforgivable.”

During the Brexit referendum campaign, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his successor, Rishi Sunak, pledged to “take back control” of Britain’s borders. However, after winning the referendum and gaining power, they implemented an uncapped points system, which they were repeatedly warned would supercharge mass migration.

LABOUR’S RECORD.

The previous Labour government also increased net immigration to around a quarter of a million a year, with the Conservatives ousting them on a promise—repeatedly broken—to reduce the annual influx “from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands.” However, the post-pandemic increase to the high hundreds of thousands under Johnson and Sunak is without precedent.

Notably, all migrants who arrived during the “Boris surge” will be eligible for indefinite leave to remain in Britain after just five years, a status which grants expansive chain migration rights to family members. So far, Starmer has ignored calls to suspend or extend indefinite leave to remain in response to the ONS statistics.

In the 1960s, immigration of just 50,000 a year was considered socially undesirable, with the late Conservative lawmaker Enoch Powell giving a famous speech in 1968 stating, “Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are, for the most part, the material of the future growth of the immigrant-descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.”

GOP Governors Should Send Migrants to Denver Mayor’s House, Says Senator.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) addressed comments made by leftist Denver Mayor Mike Johnston concerning immigration policies, urging Republican governors to transport undocumented immigrants to Denver. Johnston previously declared his intention to shield illegals from deportation when President-elect Donald J. Trump assumes office.

In a discussion with local media, Johnston expressed plans to position Denver police at county borders to prevent the entry of federal immigration officers, stating his willingness to face imprisonment to hinder deportations.

Cruz, during an episode of his “Verdict” podcast, called upon Republican state governors, specifically naming Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, to send migrants arriving in their states to Denver as a reaction to Johnston’s remarks. The Texas Republican suggested that immigrants be transported directly to the mayor’s residence, emphasizing the mayor’s commitment to hosting them.

Sen. Cruz framed his recommendation as a challenge to see if Denver residents support Johnston’s vow to defy federal immigration laws. He mentioned potential negative consequences, highlighting public safety concerns and predicting local opposition to the influx of migrants.

President-elect Trump’s incoming border czar Tom Homan also reacted to Johnston, saying, “Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing; he’s willing to go to jail. I’m willing to put him in jail.”

“I find it hard to believe that any mayor or governor would say they don’t want public safety threats removed from their neighborhoods,” Homan said.

The Denver suburb of Aurora made headlines earlier this year when members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang took over entire apartment buildings at gunpoint and were reportedly extorting money from the residents. President-elect Trump has vowed to specifically target Tren de Aragua as part of “Operation Aurora,” using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

Sweden Gets Somewhat Serious About Its Migration Policies – But Is It Too Late?

Sweden’s center-right government is looking to limit citizenship to those who agree with the country’s “fundamental values.” Still, so many migrants have been allowed in over the last decade that it may not be enough to solve the country’s immigration issues. Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch announced plans to limit citizenship to those who agree with Sweden’s “fundamental values” and restrict the voting rights of non-citizens. Previous governments’ multicultural policies have resulted in over 20 percent of the population being foreign-born.

She argued that citizenship should only be granted to individuals who share core national values, highlighting that nearly 70,000 people received citizenship last year without language or value alignment requirements. Busch has been vocal about difficulties in integrating Islamic migrants and has suggested EU-backed initiatives to encourage repatriation for those unable to assimilate. Her comments particularly targeted extreme views, stating, “If you think it is right and proper to throw homosexuals out of high-rise buildings… then you can move back to Iran or Sudan.”

The Swedish government announced in September that it would offer as much as $34,000 to migrants who wish to leave the country as part of a program set to begin in 2026. Meanwhile, the Green Party is criticizing Busch’s proposals—with lawmaker Rasmus Ling reporting her to a constitutional committee for potentially overstepping ministerial bounds.

Busch also proposed restricting voting rights for non-citizens, noting that approximately 603,000 were eligible to vote in the 2022 municipal elections, potentially altering municipal governance. In some cases, migration-background gangs have infiltrated Swedish politics and put pressure on local governments.

Sweden claimed to have achieved negative overall migration earlier this year, with more people leaving the country than arriving. However, the figures were criticized as they may reflect changes to tax registries.

DATA: Majority Support Deportation of Illegals.

A majority of Americans support President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan for mass deportations to address the illegal immigration crisis in the United States, according to a new survey. Trump’s stance on deportations has enjoyed significant support among the populace since late Spring, and data suggests the issue played a significant role in his landslide 2024 election victory.

The poll, conducted by YouGov on behalf of CBS, shows 57 percent of respondents supporting Trump’s deportation plan. However, Americans also appear wary of using U.S. military assets to remove illegal immigrants. According to the data, 82 percent of respondents said they want federal immigration and border patrol agencies to carry out the deportations. Meanwhile, 64 percent said they’d like to see federal law enforcement agencies involved. Forty percent said they would want the U.S. military involved in deportations.

Democratic respondents overwhelmingly express fear regarding threats to their rights under Trump. However, motivation to actively oppose his policies seems to have waned, with fewer Democrats feeling energized to contest his agenda compared to previous years.

The poll also indicates support—albeit more narrow—among Americans for Trump’s economic measures, particularly tariffs. Overall, 52 percent of respondents said they viewed Trump’s tariff plan as favorable, while 48 percent said they oppose the tariffs. Among self-identified Trump voters, the tariffs enjoy 83 percent support.

Migrant Caravan 1500-Strong Advances Through Mexico.

A caravan of approximately 1,500 migrants, primarily from Central and South America, has formed in southern Mexico with the aim of reaching the United States before January. This timeline aligns with the inauguration of President-elect Donald J. Trump, who intends to significantly increase border security measures. The group, comprising men, women, and children, has moved through Tapachula, a city near the Mexico-Guatemala border where many migrants remain without permission to proceed further.

The caravan’s exact crossing point into the U.S. remains unspecified. Matamoros, close to Brownsville, Texas, represents the southernmost U.S. border crossing. To reach this point, an adult migrant traveling on foot would require approximately 16 days of continuous walking. Participants in the caravan believe that traveling in large groups provides safety and complicates detainment by immigration authorities.

Some migrants rely on obtaining rides to ease their passage, while others undertake the journey on foot under challenging conditions. Yotzeli Peña, a Venezuelan migrant, expressed hopes of securing quicker appointments to enter the U.S. before Trump’s administration takes office, suggesting the process would be simpler under the Biden government.

President-elect Trump has pledged strict border control, citing a rise in illegal crossings during Biden’s term. Trump’s plans include a mass deportation initiative and the appointment of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, with Tom Homan designated as “Border Czar.” Additionally, Trump aims to terminate parole programs currently in place that allow migrants entry under expanded pathways.

Upcoming border administration change might prompt a migrant rush. Recent government measures allowed migrants to use the CBP One app to book U.S. entry appointments, initially available in northern Mexico but now expanded to southern regions like Tapachula.

Texas Offers 1,400 Acres for Migrant Detention Center.

The Texas General Land Office (GLO) has proposed leasing land for a detention facility to the incoming administration of President-elect Donald J. Trump. Commissioner Dawn Buckingham is offering a 1,400-acre tract in Starr County, Texas, intended for the processing and detention of violent criminal migrants.

Buckingham, who says she is in communication with Trump and his presidential transition team, indicated readiness to collaborate with federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to facilitate what she described as a significant deportation initiative. The land in question was acquired by the Texas GLO in October and is situated near the state’s border with Mexico.

In the past, land ownership issues have hampered federal law enforcement activities at the border and, in some instances, allowed illicit activities to continue unabated. The acquisition is part of a broader strategy to bolster security, which includes constructing a 1.5-mile border wall segment along the property’s Rio Grande frontage. This development follows recent GLO initiatives, such as designating a strategically important island along the Rio Grande as state property to disrupt smuggling routes utilized by cartels.

President-elect Trump has hinted at the potential use of military forces to support his border control measures, especially regarding the arrest and separation of members of violent criminal gangs.

Previously, Buckingham’s efforts have included collaborations with Texas law enforcement agencies to curb illegal activities on state lands. Her ongoing initiatives demonstrate the GLO’s active participation in supporting Texas’s role in federal immigration policies. The ranch identified for the facility is approximately 20 miles east of a site previously targeted for cartel disruption operations.

Suspected Tren de Aragua Member Robs Bragg Prosecutor in Her Building.

An illegal alien associated with the notorious Tren de Aragua gang was arrested in New York after robbing the apartment of a local Manhattan prosecutor. The suspect, identified as 25-year-old Brandon Simosa, is accused of breaking into the apartment of a Manhattan prosecutor, stealing her belongings, and committing a lewd act. The incident occurred at approximately 2 AM on Sunday, November 17, near 44th Street and Ninth Avenue.

The New York Police Department reports that Simosa followed a 38-year-old woman into her building, where he demanded money and seized credit cards and a cell phone from her bag. The victim, an employee of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, has not been named.

Police allege the illegal performed a lewd act before fleeing the scene. He was captured on Tuesday evening near a former hotel repurposed as a migrant shelter. Despite frequenting the area, authorities identified him as homeless at the time of his arrest.

Simosa is charged with several offenses, including sexually motivated robbery and burglary, grand larceny, possession of stolen property, and drug-related charges.

Law enforcement sources have linked the Row and other shelters in New York City to Tren de Aragua, a notorious gang originally established in Venezuelan prisons. Police attribute a spate of robberies in New York City, particularly those targeting women, to the group’s presence.

Tren de Aragua has been seen operating across the United States under the Biden-Harris regime, taking over apartment buildings in Colorado and extorting the residents for money.

Members of the gang have also been linked to murders in the United States, including a killing in Connecticut and the murder of Laken Riley.

BREAKING: Jose Ibarra Found Guilty of Murdering Laken Riley.

Venezuelan national Jose Ibarra has been found guilty on all ten counts—including malice murder, felony murder, and kidnapping—for the death of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. The next step in his trial will be sentencing for his crime.

Ibarra waived a jury trial, with his defense team opting instead for a judge to render a verdict in the case. That judge handed down a unanimous guilty verdict on Wednesday. The National Pulse reported on Tuesday that during testimony, it was revealed that Ibarra and others were flown from New York City to Georgia on so-called ‘humanitarian’ flights paid for by the Biden-Harris government.

The Venezuelan illegal immigrant—who is suspected of having ties to the violent gang Tren de Aragua—murdered American citizen Laken Riley on February 22, 2024, as she jogged on dirt trails on the University of Georgia campus in Athens. At the start of his trial, Ibarra pleaded not guilty to the crimes. His attorneys attempt to implicate his brother—to no avail—as the perpetrator instead.

Ibarra faces the possibility of life in prison with no parole.
