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.

Unaccompanied Minors at Border Seem Drugged, Reveals Congressman.

Chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement, Representative Clay Higgins (R-LA), is raising concerns regarding the condition of some unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S. southern border. During a Tuesday hearing, Higgins stated that some children appear to be drugged, which hinders law enforcement’s ability to question them about their travel companions.

The subcommittee’s hearing focused on the issue of thousands of migrant children reportedly going missing under the Biden-Harris government. Key witnesses included Tara Rodas, a whistleblower from Health and Human Services, Kathy Larin of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), retired Deputy Patrol Agent JJ Carrell, and human trafficking consultant Alicia Hopper.

Higgins highlighted the troubling situation in his opening remarks, questioning why many children arrive at the border in a state of fear and without accompanying family members. He noted instances where children are accompanied by individuals claiming to be relatives, yet lacking any apparent familial ties. He pointed out that some children have phone numbers and addresses written on their arms, suggesting they are being directed to specific, unknown locations, which he likened to “arriving at someone’s warehouse or doorstep.”

In August, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General released a report revealing the agency may have lost upwards of 291,000 unaccompanied minors. According to DHS Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari, his office has identified at least 32,000 instances of unaccompanied children who failed to appear for their immigration court dates—though he believes the true number may be much higher.

Additionally, the Inspector General’s report notes, “Based on our audit work and according to ICE officials, UCs who do not appear for court are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.” UC refers to unaccompanied child migrants.

The Haitians are Fleeing Ohio!!!

Following the recent presidential election, Springfield, Ohio, has seen a noticeable departure of Haitian migrants, who fear potential policy changes under President-elect Donald J. Trump’s incoming administration. The town, with a population just shy of 60,000 according to the 2020 census, experienced significant growth over recent years as between 15,000 and 20,000 Haitian migrants moved in under the Biden-Harris government, straining local resources and services.

Many migrants arrived with temporary protected status (TPS), which allowed them to live and work legally in the United States. However, President-elect Trump indicated plans to revoke such permits, raising concerns among migrants about mass deportations. Some have already relocated to other areas within the U.S., such as New Jersey, Boston, and nearby Dayton, while others are considering returning to former host countries like Brazil.

Local residents previously expressed dissatisfaction with the Haitian influx. Complaints include increased pressure on housing leading to higher rents, extended wait times for social services, and road safety concerns due to dangerous drivers.

The Haitian Community Alliance (HCA) reports facilitating travel arrangements for those who choose to leave, given that many lack access to necessary financial and online resources. Margery Koveleski of HCA mentioned their ongoing efforts to assist migrants in transitioning out of Springfield.

The city played a critical role in the national election. During campaign debates, President-elect Trump repeated reports that Haitian migrants in Springfield were involved in killing local animals. This claim garnered widespread attention and arguably refocused the election contest on immigration policy.

Following his landslide win, President-elect Trump announced former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) chief Tom Homan would serve as his immigration czar. Homan will oversee Trump’s aggressive deportation program.

REVEALED: Laken Riley’s Killer Was Flown to Georgia By Biden-Harris Taxpayer Flights from NYC’s Notorious Roosevelt Hotel.

The roommate of Jose Ibarra, the Venezuelan national on trial for the brutal murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, testified that Ibarra traveled to Georgia under a Biden-Harris government program. Speaking through an interpreter, the roommate told the court that they and others had been residing at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City when they requested a “humanitarian flight” to Atlanta in September 2023.

It appears the flights being referred to were part of the Biden government’s humanitarian parole program. In August, the taxpayer-funded flights were briefly paused after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) admitted the program was rife with fraud.

During Monday’s court session, prosecutors also presented evidence in the form of a recorded jail-house phone call between Ibarra and his wife, translated by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) analyst Abeisis Ramirez. The call allegedly places Ibarra at the University of Georgia campus at the time of Riley’s death in February.

The wife clearly states she does not believe her husband’s claim of innocence in the death of Laken Riely. “She said that she thinks it’s crazy that they don’t have anyone else’s DNA. They only have his,” Ramirez, translating for Ibarra’s wife, testified to the court. Additionally, the testimony suggests that Ibarra admitted seeing the body of the 22-year-old nursing student to his wife but didn’t call 9-1-1.

Ibarra, 26, has opted for a bench trial, foregoing a jury. He faces multiple charges, including murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape. Prosecutors highlighted that Ibarra’s DNA was discovered beneath Riley’s fingernails, suggesting she fought back against him. Photographic evidence displayed in court depicts scratches on Ibarra’s arms and hands, reportedly taken soon after Riley’s death.

NO-GO ZONES: Police Chief Advises Jews, Gays to Conceal Identity.

The head of police has warned Jews and homosexuals to hide their identities in neighborhoods in Berlin, Germany, with large Arab populations who may be sympathetic to terrorist groups. Berlin Police Chief Barbara Slowik highlighted concerns over areas predominantly inhabited by people of Arab heritage who may have sympathies with anti-Israel groups.

The statement follows an altercation involving pro-Palestinian protesters and Israeli football fans in Berlin’s Neukölln district, which has a significant population of people from migrant backgrounds. The incident occurred during an under-17 match involving the Makkabi Berlin youth team, where threats were made with knives and sticks.

Neukölln is also noted for its pro-LGBT nightlife. There have been reports of attacks on gay couples in the area.

Earlier this year, reports indicated that antisemitic incidents in Berlin had hit record levels, increasing by 50 percent in 2023.

In the Netherlands, Israeli football fans faced violence in Amsterdam recently following a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax. Anti-Jewish violence erupted on the streets, mirroring the tensions seen in Berlin. Firebrand Dutch populist lawmaker Geert Wilders likened the scenes to a “pogrom,” saying, “We have become the Gaza of Europe. Muslims with Palestinian flags hunting down Jews. I will NOT accept that. NEVER.”

Amid these incidents, Israelis traveling abroad have been advised to avoid disclosing their identity, particularly when visiting countries with significant Muslim migrant populations.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, warned in his 2017 book No Go Zones that areas were emerging in Europe—and even America—under de facto Sharia law, with outsiders menaced by locals and law enforcement increasingly beholden to “community leaders” to do their jobs.

Jack Montgomery contributed to this report.

Biden’s DHS Sec Mayorkas Is Drastically Lifting Visa Caps on His Way Out.

The Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is announcing a drastic increase in the H-2B Visa cap for the Fiscal Year 2025. H-2B visas are granted to temporary non-agricultural immigrant workers. In an announcement by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday, the department says it expects to make available an additional 64,716 visas on top of the current cap for the next year.

According to the department, the increase is necessary to meet the demands of American companies specifically operating in the “hospitality and tourism, landscaping, [and] seafood processing” industries. The National Pulse has reported extensively on the replacement of native-born American workers with cheap foreign labor under the Biden-Harris government, and the DHS visa cap announcement is set to exacerbate the problem.

“The Department of Homeland Security is committed to further growing our nation’s strong economy,” Mayorkas said in a statement announcing the move. He added: “By maximizing the use of the H-2B visa program, the Department of Homeland Security is helping to ensure the labor needs of American businesses are met, keeping prices down for consumers while strengthening worker protections and deterring irregular migration to the United States.”

BIDEN’S CHEAP, FOREIGN LABOR. 

Employment data indicates that most of the jobs created under Joe Biden have been taken by foreign-born labor. According to a recent jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), an estimated 1.3 million native-born American workers lost their jobs in August. Meanwhile, the number of foreign-born workers increased by 635,000.

Additionally, Congressional Budget Office (CBO) numbers reveal that labor force participation among foreign-born residents is at nearly 70 percent. Meanwhile, the rate among native-born Americans remains below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.

The last-minute decision by DHS appears to be aimed at hampering any attempt by President-elect Donald J. Trump to reduce America’s reliance on cheap immigrant labor and rectify the lack of employment for American citizens.

American Voters Overwhelming Support President-Elect Trump’s Plan to Deport Illegal Immigrants.

A new survey of likely voters suggests an unprecedented level of support for President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan to deport the over 20 million illegal immigrants residing in the United States. Trump has stated that the initial phase will begin with the deportation of individuals identified as dangerous and violent criminals—including members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA).

The poll, conducted by Rassmussen Reports following the 2024 presidential election, indicates 76 percent of respondents believe it is important that the government stop illegal immigration. Additionally, 64 percent of likely voters responding to the survey say they approve of President-elect Trump’s plan to enact “the largest deportation program in American history.”

Voters also indicated they overwhelmingly believe that Trump will make good on his deportation pledge, with 72 percent saying it is likely “that Trump will keep his promise.”

Some of the strongest support for a government crackdown on illegal immigration comes from Hispanic voters, with 70 percent saying stopping individuals from unlawfully entering the United States is important to them. Hispanic voters, by the same percentage, also say they approve of Trump’s deportation plans.

Even among Democrats, border security is an important issue. According to the Rassmussen Reports data, 61 percent of Democrat likely voters say stopping illegal immigration is important to them. Nearly 40 percent of Democrats say they approve of Trump’s plan to deport the over 20 million illegal immigrants currently in the United States.

The data suggests that President-elect Trump has strong national and bipartisan support to act swiftly and aggressively to end the nation’s illegal immigration crisis at the southern border and remove those who have unlawfully entered the country. Earlier this week, Trump announced the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Tom Homan, will oversee the deportation program as his border and immigration czar.
