Lebanese national Basel Bassel Ebbadi admitted to being a member of the Hezbollah terror group after he was apprehended by border patrol near El Paso, Texas, last week. Caught in possession of no legitimate documents, Ebbadi, 22, admitted he intended to create a bomb once in the United States, with New York as his target destination.
While in custody, Ebbadi explained his background with Hezbollah, according to the New York Post. Over 11 years, he trained under them, committing seven of those years to learning “jihad,” and serving an active role in safeguarding weaponry in the remaining four.
Illegal crossings into the United States continue at record rates under Joe Biden. An uptick in individuals on the terror watchlist entering the U.S. illegally has been noted, and encounters with such individuals have seen a significant increase – from 98 in the fiscal year 2022 to 172 in 2023. A total of 59 watchlisted individuals have already been apprehended in the first four months of 2024.
While Ebbadi has been marked for deportation, the country of his destination remains uncertain.

A Haitian who entered the U.S. under the Biden regime’s controversial Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan (CHNV) parole processes faces charges of raping a 15-year-old girl in Rockland, Massachusetts.
Cory Alvarez, a 26-year-old Haitian national, came to the U.S. via the program, which permits up to 30,000 migrants per month to fly into the country. The program applies to Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants. It grants them work authorization and a two-year stay in the U.S., provided they have a sponsor, pass specific checks, and have not entered the country illegally.
Massachusetts local authorities arrested Alvarez at a Comfort Inn, a participant in a program that provides accommodation for migrant families. The charge was one count of aggravated rape of a child, to which he pleaded not guilty.
The Biden government established the CHNV program for Venezuelans in October 2022, expanding it to include Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Cubans in January 2023. The Department of Homeland Security has touted the scheme as a ‘safe and orderly’ method of immigration and a key asset in managing the hemisphere’s elevated migration levels.
A court struck down a lawsuit from 20 GOP-led states against the program which accused the government of misusing the parole process. Alvarez is one of a number of illegal aliens arrested recently for sex crimes. Just this week, ICE reported it detained 275 “noncitizen sex offenders” in a February operation. Also this week, police in Florida arrested three Guatemalan illegals for abducting and sexually assaulting a woman.

Democratic Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is requesting $752 million in federal government funds to fund migrant shelters and related services. The governor says she hopes to lessen the financial burden currently shouldered by local governments and non-governmental organizations. The unchecked flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border has brought many local government budgets to the brink of collapse.
The financial support requested by Arizona would be directed towards the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Shelter and Services Program, part of the anticipated Homeland Security Appropriations bill. This federal initiative provides aid to groups dedicated to assisting illegal immigrants who have claimed asylum.
According to Hobbs, Congressional inaction has shifted the responsibility for security and well-being onto working families in Arizona. The Democratic governor is also lobbying lawmakers to back the Senate border deal. The National Pulse has previously reported that the Senate legislation contains little in the way of border funding. It is primarily a guest worker program tacked on to military aid for Ukraine.
Local officials in Arizona say they hope that state and federal lawmakers will heed their appeals and address the escalating crisis. “I hope that Washington just listens to what we here on the border need. Sometimes we’re forgotten,” said Yuma police chief Thomas Garrity. He added: “You hear about San Diego, you hear about Tucson, you hear about Eagle Pass, but they forget about that here in Yuma. We face this every day.”

Air Force Gen. Gregory M. Guillot, the commander of U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command, voiced his concerns Thursday about the increasing number of unauthorized drone incursions along the U.S.-Mexico border. Gen. Guillot said these incursions could reach as high as 1,000 per month, a statistic he deemed “alarming.”
Gen. Guillot asserted at a Senate hearing that the estimated incursions run well into the thousands despite not having exact figures. Border patrol agents have subsequently confirmed this estimate on the ground.
Ever since assuming his new position in February, Gen. Guillot has prioritized addressing the issue of unauthorized drone activities along the southern border. He said the need for urgency is underscored by further assessments from U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials that suggest these drones may be instrumental tools for cartels. Mexican cartels have reportedly used drones to evade law enforcement by tracking their positions, thereby enabling more efficient smuggling of people and drugs across the border.
The rising prevalence of such incursions demonstrates a complex challenge for U.S. border and airspace security, demanding undivided attention from all relevant agencies. Gen. Guillot said the cartels’ use of drones serves to highlight the evolution and complexity of illicit activities across the border while underscoring. He told senators the U.S. would need to develop new and creative strategies to tackle the technological threat posed by cartel drones.

The mother of a British man who committed suicide after fighting in Ukraine says former Prime Minister Liz Truss has “blood on her hands.”
Then 23-year-old Harry Gregg volunteered for Volodymyr Zelensky’s army after former prime minister Liz Truss said she “absolutely” supported people traveling to Ukraine to fight. Shortly after the Russian intervention in February 2022, then-Foreign Secretary Truss said Zelensky’s forces were “fighting for freedom and democracy, not just for Ukraine but for the whole of Europe,” adding that “absolutely, if people want to support that struggle, I would support them in doing that.”
Gregg’s mother, Sandi Gregg, claims Truss’s statement drove her son to join the Ukrainian forces. “He suffered from ADHD and was very impetuous. He phoned me the day after Liz had said that and told me ‘Mum, I’m going to Ukraine,’” Gregg toldThe Daily Mail, adding: “He couldn’t be talked down from it. To all intents and purposes he had no military experience whatsoever. Liz Truss has blood on her hands.”
An inquest heard Gregg had a harrowing experience in the trenches and suffered from PTSD after returning home. He hanged himself the day after he turned 25.
This week, the Russian Defense Ministry said its forces killed approximately 6,000 foreign fighters in Ukraine since the war began. Warmongering rhetoric from anti-Russian globalists like Truss doubtless inspired many of them to join up.

Altria Group, the owners of Marlboro cigarettes manufacturer Philip Morris USA, are dumping 35 million shares in AB InBev, the owners of Bud Light.
“As good stewards of shareholder capital, we consistently review options to unlock the value of our ABI investment, and we believe this is an opportunistic transaction that realizes a portion of the substantial return on our long-term investment,” said Altria CEO Billy Gifford.
AB InBev’s stock was damaged in 2023, both literally and figuratively, by Bud Light’s partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender activist invited to meet Joe Biden after his ‘Days of Being a Girl’ series on TikTok gained a substantial following.
The debacle led to increased scrutiny of AB InBev’s woke business practices, with footage of employees talking about the need to reduce the number of white and male employees during its #CheerstoDiversityAndInclusion campaign being recirculated.
Despite being dropped by the brand, Mulvaney appeared to emerge relatively unscathed from the debacle and was named to the ‘30 Under 30’ list by Forbes in November.

Defense attorneys for actor Alec Baldwin have requested a New Mexico judge to dismiss a grand jury indictment against him in connection to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie “Rust.”
Baldwin was indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter in January, to which he has entered a not-guilty plea. The defense has accused prosecutors of bias, stating the grand jury was denied access to exculpatory evidence and not advised of their right and obligation to request such.
Key witnesses, including director Joel Souza, who suffered injuries in the incident, assistant director Dave Halls, and props master Sarah Zachry, were not allowed to testify. The defense team asserts that this unfairly skewed the grand jury’s perception of events. The defense also claims the grand jury received misleading testimony about the revolver in question.
Meanwhile, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the “Rust” set, was recently convicted and awaits sentencing in April. Gutierrez-Reed was found responsible for bringing live ammunition on the set against established rules and is also alleged to have ignored an array of gun safety protocols.
Co-worker Dave Halls was sentenced to six months of unsupervised probation after pleading no contest to negligent handling of a firearm.
Baldwin, who was holding the weapon when the fatal incident occurred, insists he had cocked the gun’s hammer but had not pulled the trigger. The trial is set for July.

Ex-CNN broadcaster Don Lemon, recently let go from a deal with Elon Musk’s X, allegedly made an out-of-this-world list of demands, including soliciting a Tesla Cyber truck, an upfront payment of $5 million, and to be the first man to host a space podcast.
The broadcaster, who made over $20M when he left CNN, wanted an $8 million salary with a $5 million upfront payment. Lemon also attempted to negotiate an equity stake in X and even have a say in the X policy regarding news material.
According to a document from his agent, Lemon demanded a private jet, a suite for him and his partner, and a company covered full-day of relaxation activities. Additionally, Lemon sought financial assistance to build a podcast studio and a ride on a SpaceX rocket to secure a “first to record a podcast in space” title.
Elon Musk responded to the revelations by characterizing Lemon as “Veruca Salt,” the entitled child from the famous book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Tyson Foods, a major American producer of meat, is facing boycott calls after its Human Resources associate director Garrett Dolan told Bloomberg, “We would like to employ another 42,000 [migrants] if we could find them,” during an interview about the firm’s involvement in the Tent Partnership for Refugees program founded by Chobani. Tent is led by Obama-era White House staffer Gideon Maltz.
The firm insists on its website that recent media coverage on the matter is “misinformation,” adding, “Tyson Foods is strongly opposed to illegal immigration, and we led the way in participating in the two major government programs to help employers combat unlawful employment, E-Verify and the Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program.”
But the distinction appears to be mostly semantics, with Tyson actually relying on the Biden government’s fast-tracking of employment authorizations for millions of people in the country illegally. The Trump administration had previously suspended such authorizations. In April last year alone, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said they were processing 535,764 pending authorization petitions, also known as Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). The move to relax restrictions on these was one of the first things the Biden government and its Attorney General Merrick Garland did after taking office.
Moreover, Tyson already employs 42,000 immigrants amongst its 120,000-strong labor force, further undercutting their claims to have been the subject of “misinformation.”
America First Legal, a Trump-world advocacy group, latched on to the discriminatory statement made by Dolan, stating: “It is ILLEGAL under federal law to discriminate against American citizens based on their citizenship in favor of non-citizens of any kind when it comes to employment.”
The meat firm also invests cash into legal aid services for their migrant employees, provides them paid time off for any court appearances, as well as childcare and transportation, and English classes.
“They’re very, very loyal,” Dolan said. “They’ve been uprooted and what they want is stability — what they want is a sense of belonging.” It is unclear if Dolan is suggesting that U.S. workers are disloyal, do not want stability, nor a sense of belonging.

President Donald J. Trump will address an Ohio crowd at 4 PM ET, and is expected to demand that “[n]ot one more American life should be lost to migrant crime.” He will add: “When I am President of the United States, I will demand Justice for Laken [Riley],” in reference to the 22-year-old Georgia student murdered by an illegal migrant who remained in America as a result of Joe Biden’s open border policies.
“Now in Venezuela, the murder rate is down by almost 66 percent,” Trump will explain, “while violent crime in America is way up. All over the world, crime is way down because they’re sending their criminals, their perverts, their murderers, their terrorists, their human traffickers, their drug dealers—they’re all pouring into the United States because of Joe Biden.”
“Laken Riley would be alive today if Biden had not unleashed this savage into America—but instead of apologizing to Laken’s family, Joe Biden apologized to the killer for calling him an illegal — he said he should have called him undocumented,” Trump will state, going on to tell the crowd: “In the Republican Party, we believe that Laken’s killer is an illegal alien criminal, he is an illegal alien monster, he should never have been in our country, and he would never have been in our country under the Trump policy.”
