Migrant on Terror Watchlist Attempted Border Crossing Prior to Biden, Trump Visits.

Colombian national Carlos Obed Yepez-Bedoya was apprehended while illegally crossing the Texas border last month. Yepez-Bedoya is registered on the FBI’s terror watchlist.

Texas Department of Public Safety agents captured Yepez-Bedoya on February 21 near Eagle Pass. The exact terror organization with which Yepez-Bedoya is affiliated was not identified.

This incident took place shortly before President Biden and former President Trump visited Texas to survey the ongoing crisis at the border. Texas DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez emphasized the necessity of robust border security measures in light of such threats to public safety and national security. “The federal government has failed to enact border security measures, and the state of Texas, through Gov. Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, will continue to take unprecedented action to help secure the border,” Olivarez stated.

The border crisis has hit new records, with more than 2.4 million encounters in FY 23 and over 300,000 in December alone. The issue is poised to be a significant factor in the 2024 elections, with over half of Americans polled viewing the large influx of illegal immigrants as a critical threat to the country.

Border Patrol BANNED from Washington Schools Over Fear of ‘Traumatizing’ Immigrant Kids.

The Spokane, Washington school district has unanimously voted to prohibit Border Patrol agents from entering its schools, citing potential emotional distress for immigrant students. The move comes after advocacy group Latinos En Spokane sought to protect immigrant children who could be ‘traumatized’ by the presence of Border Patrol agents in the school environment.

Changes to the existing policy also prohibit school staff members from collaborating with immigration enforcement agencies or releasing information that could compromise a student’s security. School board member Nikki Otero Lockwood also confirmed that immigration agents will no longer be permitted to serve as guest speakers in classrooms. The policy revisions apply to all public schools within the district.

Chief Patrol Agent Lloyd Easterling of the Spokane Sector for the US Customs and Border Protection labeled the policy changes “unfortunate,” arguing that Border Patrol personnel are present solely for educational purposes and not to enforce immigration laws.

“Agents and officers from CBP attend countless events at schools throughout the nation – without controversy. CBP personnel work tirelessly day in and day out to protect our nation from a variety of threats to include terrorists and dangerous narcotics. CBP routinely honors requests from local law enforcement agencies to assist in life-threatening situations, including active shooter incidents at schools,” Easterling wrote in a statement on X (formerly Twitter).

The school district’s move comes amidst increasing demands for cooperation between local authorities and immigration law enforcement as the country grapples with a significant increase in migrant crime.

Laken Riley’s Mom Just Issued This Scathing Statement About Joe Biden.

The mother of slain Georgia student Laken Riley issued a blistering statement concerning Joe Biden and his failure to correctly speak Riley’s name during the State of the Union on Thursday.

“Biden does not even KNOW my child’s name – it’s pathetic! If you are going to say her name (even when forced to do so) at least say the right name!” Laken’s mother, Allyson Phillips, wrote on Facebook on Friday.

“Lincoln, Lincoln Riley,” Biden said Thursday night, holding up a pin badge with her name on it.

Republicans in the House passed the Laken Riley Act on Thursday despite the opposition of 170 Democrats who presumably want the violent deaths of American girls to continue unabated.

Phillips took to Facebook in response, stating: “Praise God! #SayHerName LAKEN HOPE RILEY BILL – PASSED.”

Chicago Quietly Moves Airport-Dwelling Illegals Following Senate Investigation.

Illegal immigrants have been relocated from Chicago’s O’Hare International and Midway Airports after a probe by the Senate Commerce Committee into federal resources spent on their stay.

The committee, led by Senator Ted Cruz, launched an inquiry into migrants’ housing at the airports in late January. Their displacement reportedly occurred quietly a week after Mayor Brandon Johnson received a letter from the committee, but neither Johnson’s office nor the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) responded to queries regarding the migrants’ new location.

Senate Republican Commerce Committee spokeswoman Melissa Braid has accused Mayor Johnson of withholding information about the migrant situation at Chicago airports from Congress and taxpayers.

Previously, the floors of the airports were littered with migrants, presenting significant challenges to public safety and public health. Moves to host migrants in local police stations resulted in some having to be shut down as the migrants began spreading diseases such as scabies.

Border sheriffs have reported encountering migrants with other diseases “like tuberculosis, scabies, COVID, hepatitis A and B, gonorrhea, syphilis, mumps, chicken pox, [and] dengue fever,” with outbreaks at airports having the potential to spread such illnesses nationally and even worldwide.

A $150 million emergency migrant response fund set aside by Mayor Johnson for this year is projected to be exhausted by April. He has requested nearly $5 billion in federal aid to alleviate the crisis.

Biden Botches Laken Riley Name During State of the Union.

Joe Biden attempted to address the murder of Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant for the first time during his State of the Union address 40 minutes into the speech. However, the 81-year-old could not get the nursing student’s name correct — twice referring to her as “Lincoln.”

Responding to Republican lawmakers who have for weeks attacked Biden for failing to address the murder of Laken Riley, Biden briefly ditched the text of his speech to acknowledge her death.

The Democrat held up a pin with Laken Riley’s name on it, which was given to him by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA); he entered the House chamber, claiming: “I know how to say her name!” He then described her as “Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal, that’s right.”

“But how many thousands of people being killed by illegals?” he added incoherently.

Former Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi upbraided Biden for referring to Riley’s alleged murderer as an “illegal” after the address, telling CNN the President “should have said undocumented.”

Syrian Migrant Used in Mass Migration Promo Convicted For Involvement In Grooming Gang.

A Syrian refugee who was given a platform by the BBC in 2016 to promote mass immigration has been convicted of involvement in a grooming gang. Omar and Mohamed Badreddin, as well as Huzaefa Aleboud, were sentenced by a Newcastle court for committing multiple rapes of a 13-year-old girl. A fourth man, Hamoud Al Soaimi, was found guilty of sexual assault.

Between August 2018 and April 2019, the Badreddins, Huzaefa Aleboud, and Hamoud Al Soaimi abused, raped, and tortured their female victim. She told the Newcastle court the men had made her life a “living nightmare.” They threatened her into silence, saying they would either kill her or take her to another country if she did not comply.

The 2016 BBC Newsnight report presented the narrative of Syrian national Omar Badreddin in a sympathetic light, emphasizing the experiences and challenges faced by those displaced by conflict and their struggle to gain refugee status in Western nations. Badreddin was accused of sexual assault shortly after arriving in Great Britain, though he was acquitted of the charges.

“I felt she [the accuser] didn’t want foreigners in this country, and that is why she made up the whole story,” Badreddin told the BBC at the time, blaming racism for the sexual assault allegation. The Newsnight report, hosted by Katie Razzall, concurred with Badreddin, lamenting that in Great Britain, “plenty are suspicious of newcomers with their different customs and traditions.”

The BBC acknowledged its role in platforming Omar Badreddin, saying in a statement, “In any situation, the BBC can only report on the facts as they stand at the time, which is what we did in 2016. The Badreddins’ subsequent crimes are appalling, and we express our sincere sympathies to their victim.”

Denver Begs Property Owners to House Illegal ‘Newcomers.’

The city of Denver, Colorado, is desperately pleading with landlords to take in illegal aliens as it struggles to deal with the influx of invaders.

“We put out a feeler to all the landlords we have connections with,” said Jon Ewing of Denver Human Services. “Basically said, listen, we’re going to have some newcomers who will need housing.”

Denver was recently forced to evict migrants from city shelters as it lacks both the space and the financial resources to house them, with Mayor Mike Johnston saying the city was approaching its “breaking point.”

Ewing revealed that the city has managed to house many of those evicted migrants with the help of local non-profit groups. “We’re at below 1,800 [migrants needing housing] right now, which is the first time that number’s been that low since September,” he said.

In addition to providing them with housing, the city has also endeavored to get the migrants work permits, helping “1,300 people right now, over the last two weeks or so… get their work permits,” Ewing revealed.

Denver has so far spent nearly $58 million supporting 38,861 migrants, most of whom are reportedly from Venezuela. Ewings’ use of the word ‘newcomers’ to describe Denver’s illegal alien population is noteworthy — the Biden White House recently adopted the same language.

170 Democrats Vote AGAINST Laken Riley Act That Protects Americans From Criminal Migrants.

U.S. lawmakers passed the Laken Riley Act on Thursday despite the opposition of 170 Democrat Congressmen who oppose sanctions on criminal migrants and continue to disparage the memory of the murdered college student from Georgia.

The bill passed by 251-170 votes and will require the detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of illegal immigrants implicated in local theft or burglary charges. The bill was drafted following the brutal murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley, a nursing student at the University of Georgia, by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, who had prior criminal charges but was not previously detained by ICE.

The malefactor, identified as Jose Antonio Ibarra, had arrests and citations on his record in multiple states, including a child endangerment arrest in New York and a misdemeanor shoplifting citation in Georgia. Congressman Mike Collins, who advanced the bill, represents Georgia’s 10th Congressional District in Athens, the site of the fatal incident on February 22. He stated that the Laken Riley Act is America’s “wake-up call” to tackle what he sees as an “illegal crime wave” brought about by the ongoing border crisis.

The legislation also allows states to take legal action against the federal government if an immigration-related decision harms the state or its citizens.

Laken Riley’s Murderer Has Family Ties to Notorious Tren de Aragua Gang Targeted by Trump.

Diego Ibarra, brother of Jose Ibarra, the illegal alien accused of murdering Laken Riley, is likely a member of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, according to court documents.

Diego Ibarra was detained around the same time as his brother after he showed homicide investigators a counterfeit green card. Reports indicate he used it to secure employment at the university Riley attended.

Previously, Diego Ibarra has been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without a license, theft by shoplifting, and failing to appear for fingerprinting. He is known to have crossed the US border at least twice and was involved in a violent attack on a border official during the second crossing. He escaped prosecution by claiming to have epilepsy, however.

Prosecutors have now disclosed they believe he is a member of Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang, citing gang-related social media posts and his distinctive tattoos. The gang has begun to make its presence felt in US cities as illegal immigration from Venezuela reaches unprecedented levels under Joe Biden.

Recently, former President Donald Trump warned that Tren de Aragua is partly responsible for the “33,000 assaults, 3,000 robberies, almost 7,000 burglaries, 7,500 weapons offenses, 4,300 sex crimes, 1,600 kidnappings, and 1,700 homicides” linked to illegal aliens detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
