Feds Ignored Migrant Risk Assessments Under Biden-Harris Rules.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) released noncitizens without identification into the United States and allowed them to fly on domestic flights without properly assessing the risks involved, according to a report by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General Joseph Cuffari.

“CBP and ICE immigration officers we interviewed acknowledged the risks of allowing noncitizens without identification into the country, yet neither CBP nor ICE conducted a comprehensive risk assessment for these noncitizens to assess the level of risk these individuals present and developed corresponding mitigation measures,” Cuffari’s partially redacted report notes. Concern is also expressed that “neither CBP nor ICE could determine how many of the millions of noncitizens seeking entry in the United States each year entered without identification” because comprehensive records are not kept.

On the TSA allowing potentially dangerous migrants to board domestic flights, the report warns, “Because of CBP’s and ICE’s process for inspecting and releasing noncitizens, TSA’s methods to screen for individuals who pose a threat would not necessarily prevent these individuals from boarding flights.”

“If CBP and ICE continue to allow noncitizens — whose identities immigration officers cannot confirm — to enter the country, they may inadvertently increase national security risks,” the report concludes, recommending “comprehensive analysis of the risks associated with releasing noncitizens into the country without identification” by CBP and ICE and “procedural changes” at the TSA.

The Biden-Harris DHS is rejecting all of Cuffari’s recommendations. The Inspector General, in turn, has submitted follow-up commentary and recommendations to the DHS, with the department having 90 days to respond.

Hundreds of Terror-Linked Migrants Attempting U.S. Entry.

The Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revealed hundreds of “watchlisted” migrants with links to terrorism are being encountered at the U.S. border. More terror-linked migrants were encountered at the U.S.-Canada border—283— than at the U.S.-Mexico border—139—in the fiscal year to July 2024.

“Over the next year, we expect some individuals with terrorism ties and some criminal actors will continue their efforts to exploit migration flows and the complex border security environment to enter the United States,” the DHS states in its Homeland Threat Assessment for 2025.

“Individuals with potential terrorism connections continue to attempt to enter the Homeland at both the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders and also through the immigration system,” the report adds.

While northern border crossings remain lower than southern border crossings, the former has seen a significant increase in encounters. The National Pulse reported on Wednesday that a Border Patrol sector covering New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire saw as many migrant detentions in fiscal year 2024 as in the last 17 years combined.

The relatively low security along the northern frontier may explain why it is attracting a disproportionate number of migrants with ties to terrorism.

CARTELS.

The Homeland Threat Assessment also predicts that Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) will “continue to exploit the complex security environment at the U.S. border to smuggle drugs and migrants to and across our border” in the coming year.

“Mexico-based TCOs, to include cartels and human smuggling organizations, will almost certainly continue to smuggle irregular migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border,” but warns Honduran drug trafficking cells have also begun distributing Sinaloa Cartel-sourced fentanyl, in particular, since January 2022.

“Prior to 2022, these traffickers primarily distributed heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine,” the report notes, suggesting Honduran criminals are creating a new market for Sinaloa Cartel fentanyl under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Vice President Harris has previously argued in favor of defunding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), meaning such issues are unlikely to recede if she wins the presidential race in November.

Trans Migrant Granted Refugee Status Despite Pedophilia Conviction.

An Algerian migrant, referred to as Medhi F., has been granted refugee status in France despite a past conviction for the sexual assault of a minor. Medhi F., who identifies as transgender, had been sentenced in 2019 to four years in prison for the crime against a 15-year-old.

In 2020, Medhi sought asylum with the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (OFPRA), arguing that returning to Algeria would result in persecution due to his transgender identity. OFPRA rejected the application, but Medhi appealed the decision to France’s National Court of Asylum (CNDA). In 2023, the CNDA overturned OFPRA’s decision, claiming Medhi no longer posed a threat to society despite being a convicted pedophile.

OFPRA escalated the matter to France’s Council of State, but it upheld the CNDA’s ruling in July, declaring that being a convicted pedophile provides insufficient grounds to refuse or revoke refugee status by itself.

Former President Donald J. Trump has frequently lamented that “France is no longer France” and is warning against the U.S. following its path as a society ahead of the November elections.

“We’ve seen what happened when Europe opened its doors to jihad. Look at Paris, look at London; they’re no longer recognizable,” he said in May, adding, “We can’t let that happen to our country.”

The EU Is Still Enriching Russia, While Begging America to Help Fight Russia.

The European Union (EU) imported more natural gas from Russia than from the United States between April and July, continuing a trend from the previous quarter. Recent data from Brussels-based think tank Bruegel revealed that the EU imported 13 billion cubic meters (bcm) of Russian gas in the second quarter of 2024, contributing to a total of 26 bcm for the year.

European utilities paid approximately €10 billion (~$11 billion) to Gazprom, Russia’s state-owned energy company. The transaction data suggests a direct benefit to Russian financial reserves. Meanwhile, imports of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) declined to 9.5 bcm, totaling 22 bcm over the year so far.

Norway, which is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) but not the EU, remains the bloc’s leading supplier of natural gas, but Russia has strengthened its role as the second-largest EU gas supplier.

The EU is enriching Russia despite the fact it is supposed to be assisting the U.S. in its support of Ukraine. The bloc claims it has supplied Kiev with $126 billion in aid since the start of the war, but it paid Moscow around $154 billion for Russian fossil fuels in just the first year of the Ukraine war, which began in February 2022.

U.S. presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has long complained that the EU is not pulling its weight in the Western proxy war with Russia and that European NATO members generally have been too dependent on America to protect them from Russia while simultaneously pouring money into the Russian economy.

NATO Chief Says Ukraine’s Membership Path is ‘Irreversible.’

The new chief of NATO has declared that Ukraine will eventually join the military alliance despite being in the middle of a war with Russia and previously being deemed too corrupt. On Thursday, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte visited Ukraine, affirming the country’s trajectory towards NATO membership as “irreversible.”

“Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever before, and will continue on this path until you become a member of our Alliance. I very much look forward to that day,” said Rutte, the former Prime Minister of the Netherlands, following discussions with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“I think the day will come that Ukraine is a full member of NATO, and let me add to that, if somebody might think otherwise, that Russia on this issue has no vote and no veto,” he claimed.

Rutte mentioned the $44.1 billion in military aid committed by NATO members to Ukraine over the past year. However, Zelensky advocated for NATO to begin directly intercepting Russian missiles striking targets in Ukraine, likening it to the U.S. and its allies intercepting Iranian missiles targeting Israel.

Rutte suggested such decisions rest with the national authorities of each NATO member. The only major NATO member to agree with Zelensky so far is Poland, where globalist foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski advocated shooting down Russian missiles last month.

Mark Rutte took over as head of NATO from Jens Stoltenberg, who noted in May that Ukraine was losing the conflict and argued that it should be authorized to strike deep inside Russia with Western weapons.

Senior Citizen Jailed for 9 Years for Letting Public Examine Voting Machines.

Tina Peters, a former county clerk in Colorado in her late sixties, has received a nine-year prison sentence for allowing 2020 election skeptics to replicate Dominion voting machine hard drives to check for evidence of fraud. Peters was convicted in August of multiple charges, including official misconduct. The charges stem from her use of another person’s security badge to allow access to Mesa County election equipment by an individual connected to election skeptic Mike Lindell.

The “breach” led to the online dissemination of sensitive data, necessitating the replacement of the county’s voting equipment—with more Dominion machines. During closing arguments, prosecutor Jessica Drake characterized Peters as “a fox guarding the henhouse,” noting her responsibility to secure the election equipment and alleging she failed to do so.

Despite the verdict, Peters insists she is innocent and was trying to safeguard election integrity. “It is with a heavy heart that I hear the vile accusations and anger levied against me,” she told the court, requesting probation instead of imprisonment.

Twenty-first Judicial District Judge Matthew Barrett has instead opted for a harsh prison sentence. “I’m convinced you would do it all over again if you could,” Barrett said of Peters, calling the senior citizen “as defiant a defendant as this court has seen.”

Following Peters’s “breach,” lawmakers in Colorado passed the so-called Colorado Election Security Act (SB22-153), which contains unrelated provisions that effectively outlaw the hand-counting of ballots in favor of mandatory machine counting. The National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) requested this anti-election integrity measure to stop the “election denial world” from requesting hand counts to verify the validity of vote counts.

John Bolton Just Proved How Unserious He Is, Again.

Neoconservative foreign policy advisor John Bolton is now backing down from his publicly stated intention to write in former Vice President Dick Cheney on his 2024 presidential election ballot, citing the Iraq War architect‘s endorsement of Kamala Harris. Instead, Bolton—himself a backer of the disastrous Iraq invasion under then-President George W. Bush—is suggesting he may write in Ronald Reagan, who died in 2004.

“It’s caused me to reassess whether to vote for Dick,” Bolton told CNN’s Kasie Hunt. He continued: “I’m looking to vote for a conservative Republican, and I certainly think Dick is a conservative Republican. And if he were to win—not much chance of that, I suppose—I don’t think he’d put Kamala Harris in his cabinet.”

“I had originally thought in 2020 I’d write in Ronald Reagan to make the point even more effectively, and maybe that’s what I’ll do this time,” Bolton added.

The National Pulse reported in April that Bolton had written in Dick Cheney for President of the United States in 2020 and intended to do so again in the 2024 election. However, it appears Cheney’s backing of Harris is a bridge too far for the neoconservative war hawk, who served just over a year as National Security Advisor to President Donald J. Trump before being fired for publicly undermining the Republican president’s agenda.

Botlon’s career is checkered with bizarre claims and statements that have undermined his credibility in the eyes of many Americans. During the George W. Bush administration, Bolton—then an official with the State Department—was one of the originators of the lie that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The claim was used as a pretext for the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Surprise! Biden-Harris Govt Hides Hunter Corruption Details Until AFTER Election.

The Biden-Harris government’s National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is invoking a 30-day delay in releasing a trove of documents relating to President Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president under Barack Obama, meaning they won’t be viewable by the voting public until November 6, 2024—they day after the presidential election. It is speculated that at least some of the records held by NARA could shed further light on the Biden family’s—especially Hunter Biden‘s—foreign business dealings and how they leveraged government access and Joe Biden’s name to enrich themselves.

While NARA, an independent executive branch agency overseen directly by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, technically has the authority to delay the release of the records by 30 days, the timing of the move is drawing criticism. Attorneys representing Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama secured the extension under the Presidential Records Act, 44 U.S.C. § 2208(a)(3)(B).

CONCEALING BIDEN CORRUPTION?

“Biden, Obama, and NARA are concealing these potentially explosive records until the day after the 2024 election, November 6, 2024,” contends the conservative litigation group America First Legal (AFL). They note that in August 2022, they attempted to obtain some of these records through FIOA, but NARA—at the time—refused to comply. Some of the documents were made public following a 2023 lawsuit.

AFL adds: “Now, just a month before the 2024 Presidential election, President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives are delaying the release of documents that include ’email messages with James Biden …, Lion Hall …, and [Hunter’s firm] Rosemont Seneca,’ about ‘photographs from a White House visit of Vice President Biden with James Biden [and] preparation of Vice President and Biden’s final tax forms and financial disclosures for the year 2015.'”

The National Pulse has previously reported that NARA has attempted to fight efforts to release then-Vice President Biden’s communications using pseudonymous email addresses. More of these communications are believed to exist in the now-delayed tranche of records.

Biden-Harris Govt Says FEMA Needs Money for Hurricanes After Agency Spends $1 Billion Housing Illegals.

The Biden-Harris government’s Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is suggesting the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)—a subagency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ostensibly tasked with responding to natural disasters—likely will not have enough money in its budget to get through hurricane season. While FEMA claims the catastrophic damage and costs from Hurricane Helene will limit its ability to respond to future storms, the agency announced $380 million in supplemental funding for illegal immigrant housing just a month ago—bringing the total to over $1 billion for the 2024 fiscal year.

Mayorkas made the remarks while traveling with President Joe Biden to North Carolina, where the western part of the state has seen catastrophic flooding and mudslides—with at least 160 declared dead so far—in the wake of Helene. The Biden cabinet official made similar claims in June, telling Congress that FEMA was underbudgeted.

In fiscal year 2024, FEMA saw an allocation of around $20 billion, while DHS received over $61 billion in total. In April, the disaster management agency announced it would “provide $640.9 million of available funds to enable non-federal entities to off-set allowable costs incurred for services associated with noncitizen migrant arrivals in their communities.” These grant funds primarily go to paying for food and shelter for illegal immigrants as they await their appearance before an immigration judge.

Despite the initial allotment for illegal immigrant housing, FEMA announced at the end of August that it would make an additional $380 million in grants available. The supplemental grants bring FEMA’s total spending on shelter and food for illegal immigrants to over $1 billion for the fiscal year.

The National Pulse reported earlier this week that eight illegal immigrants were arrested in flood-ravaged eastern Tennesse for looting in Hurricane Helene’s aftermath.

Single Sector on U.S. Northern Border Sees Unprecedented Surge of Illegals, More Than Past 17 Years Combined.

A Border Patrol sector on the United States-Canadian border has seen an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants in the last year. Covering New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire, the sector has seen border agents detain nearly 20,000 illegal immigrants for the fiscal year 2024. The number of arrests suggests the surge of illegal crossings under the Biden-Harris government is not just impacting the southern border.

According to Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia, who oversees the U.S. border’s Swanton Sector, his agents have apprehended 19,222 individuals attempting to cross the border from Canada illegally. He adds that the detained are believed to originate from at least 97 different countries—adding further evidence that the U.S. border crisis is no longer just fueled by illegal immigrants from a handful of Central and South American countries.

Concerningly, the border data released by Garcia shows that far fewer illegal immigrants—6,925—were arrested in his sector in the 2023 fiscal year, and 1,065 in the fiscal year 2022. The number of illegals arrested while crossing from Canada in the Swanton Sector only broke 1,000 apprehensions in a single fiscal year under President Donald J. Trump and has otherwise not crossed into the quadruple digits since 2010.

The Biden-Harris government’s executive action, allegedly intended to reduce the number of asylum seekers entering the United States, only applies to the southern border with Mexico. It is unclear when, in the fiscal year 2024, the Swanton Sector saw the most illegal crossings. The National Pulse reported in August that the Biden-Harris government’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sought to expedite the asylum process for illegal immigrants entering from Canada.
