African Athletes Absconded After Olympics.

Two members of the Olympic team from the Republic of Congo have disappeared following the closing ceremony of the Paris Games, fueling speculation they may have decided to claim asylum somewhere in Europe.

It was initially believed three of the six Congolese athletes had gone missing after swimmer Aristote Impelenga, judoka Daso Kisoka, and sprinter Dominique Lasconi all failed to appear for the closing ceremonies. However, Kisoka later resurfaced just before the Congolese Olympic team’s flight back to their native country.

Aristotle Impelenga, who remains missing, is the only Congolese athlete who came close to medaling. He finished in 7th place in the first round of the men’s 100-metre race. Following the race, he failed a doping test.

It is not rare for athletes from African countries and other impoverished nations to abscond and disappear following or even during athletic events in Western countries. Last year, several handball players from Burundi disappeared while attending a tournament in Croatia. Weeks later, they were discovered applying for asylum in Belgium.

Belgian authorities stated that while the athletes were welcome to apply for asylum if they wished, they would have to return to Croatia and apply there as it was their first point of entry to the European Union. At least 82 athletes sought asylum in the United Kingdom following the 2012 Olympic games in London.

Countries in Europe continue to cope with large numbers of asylum seekers and the negative effects mass migration has had, including surging violent crime in countries like Germany. Asylum seekers and other migrants are also vastly overrepresented in welfare usage, as well as welfare fraud in countries like Sweden.

Germany’s Leftist Chancellor Finally Promises Action on Migrant Crime as Populist Right Surges.

Public backlash over migrant crime and the rise of the populist right has prompted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to adopt a tougher stance on immigration, despite his prior support for open-door policies.

Facing plummeting public approval and a surge in anti-mass migration sentiment, Scholz’s government has endorsed legislation allowing deportation for foreigners advocating violence on social media, following a fatal attack by an Afghan migrant at a mass migration rally that sparked widespread anger.

“It outrages me when someone who has found protection here commits the most serious of crimes,” Scholz claimed. “Such criminals should be deported, even if they come from Syria or Afghanistan.”

Crime statistics show a significant increase in offenses involving migrants, with foreigners comprising just 14.6 percent of Germany’s population but accounting for 58.5 percent of all violent crimes.

Scholz’s proposed deportation bill faces challenges, including constitutional issues and logistical hurdles in deporting individuals from countries such as Syria and Afghanistan that are deemed unsafe.

Scholz, under pressure to address migration concerns before next year’s federal elections, has attempted diplomatic agreements to facilitate deportations.

His change of course comes after a populist surge during last month’s European elections, as the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) beat Scholz’s Social Democrats and their coalition partners in the far-left Greens and neoliberal Free Democrats.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, remarked last month that the surge of support for populist parties was shifting the Overton Window on issues like mass migration.

New Dutch Government Promises to Slash Mass Migration.

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof delivered his inaugural address to parliament on Wednesday, expressing a commitment to curbing immigration. Schoof, who ascended to the prime minister’s office after months of negotiations between populist and center-right political parties to form a government, stated: “The biggest of those concerns is asylum and migration. That is the crux of the matter, no matter how you look at it.”

Schoof, 67, is a former chief of Dutch intelligence and counterterrorism. His appointment occurred amidst the formation of a new coalition government following the collapse of the previous governing coalition on July 7 of last year. The anti-mass migration Party for Freedom, led by Geert Wilders, secured the largest number of seats in the country’s November 2023 election. However, it took 223 days to establish a four-party coalition, as opposition from other coalition partners prevented Wilders from obtaining the premiership.

The governing coalition includes Wilders‘ Party for Freedom (PVV), former Prime Minister Mark Rutte‘s center-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, the populist Farmer Citizen Movement, and the New Social Contract party. Its guiding document, ‘Hope, Courage, and Pride,’ outlines stringent asylum measures, abolishes family reunification (chain immigration) for refugees, and aims to decrease the number of international students in the Netherlands.

“Migration puts too much pressure on social services and social cohesion. The asylum and migration figures are high and so is the pressure on society,” Schoof told lawmakers.

Conversely, opposition leader Frans Timmermans—of the social democrat-green alliance—harshly criticized the new government, labeling the Party for Freedom-inspired policies “racist.” He also announced plans to submit a motion of no-confidence against two cabinet members from Wilders‘ party.

In response, Wilders denied any allegations of “Nazi racist theories” among his party colleagues.

Orban Says Germany No Longer Smells The Same.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes mass migration is permanently transforming Germany. He is urging Hungarians to say “no” to a similar transformation of their country—as they cannot reverse it if it turns out to be a mistake.

Speaking to Hungarian radio in Germany, where he was meeting the embattled Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Orban said: “We’re sitting here in Germany, so if I compare this Germany with the Germany of ten years ago, it doesn’t look the same, it doesn’t taste the same, it doesn’t smell the same.”

“Taken as a whole, this Germany isn’t the Germany that our grandparents and our parents used to set before us as an example, saying, ‘Son, if you want to see a hard-working person, go to Germany, if you want to see well-organized work, go to Germany. If you want to see order, go there, where there’s order…’ Now this Germany is no longer that one,” he continued.

“It’s a colourful, transformed, multicultural world in which the migrants coming in are no longer guests of the country,” Orban said. “This is now their country too, and it’s increasingly becoming theirs.”

NO GOING BACK. 

Orban says the changes in Germany have been driven by left-wing governments “granting fast-track citizenship, arranging family reunification [chain migration], and whatever else.” He warns this “has all kinds of repercussions, because now a specific cultural milieu has emerged here in Germany.”

Orban recalled that when hundreds of thousands of migrants began marching through Hungary in 2015, he made a decision that he would build a wall and stop them from coming, “otherwise Hungary will no longer be a Hungarian country.”

He stressed that “if you make a mistake in migration policy once, you cannot undo it later.” He explained that economic and social policy can be corrected,  “but migration is one of the few areas in which, once you’ve made a mistake, you can never put it right again.”

Foreigners now account for 58.5 percent of all violent crimes in Germany, despite comprising only 14.6 percent of the population. Over 60 percent of welfare recipients have a migration background.

Earlier this month, European Union judges fined Hungary hundreds of millions of euros over its strong border policies.

EU Slaps Hungary with ‘Outrageous’ €200M Fine Because It Refuses Open Borders.

Hungary faces a significant financial penalty from the European Union‘s highest court due to its non-compliance with policies surrounding the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers at its borders. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has determined that Hungary must pay a fine amounting to €200 million, with an additional daily penalty of one million euros, until the required changes are fully implemented.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán expressed his discontent with the ruling in a Facebook post, calling it “outrageous and unacceptable.” The nation’s nationalist government has previously refused to enforce a 2020 court decision mandating the modification of its asylum procedures and border policies.

The ECJ elaborated that Hungary did not adhere to the mandatory measures outlined in the 2020 judgment. Specifically, the court cited Hungary’s failure to allow applicants for international protection to remain in the country while their appeals against rejection were pending. Furthermore, the judgment highlighted the requirement to regulate the expulsion of unlawfully present third-country nationals.

Hungary’s current legislation stipulates that asylum requests must be submitted at Hungarian embassies in neighboring Serbia or Ukraine. Individuals attempting unauthorized border crossings are typically turned back. Prime Minister Orbán‘s government has pointed to the closure of pre-existing “transit zones” as partial compliance, despite the European Commission‘s assertion that these actions have not met the court’s directives.

In 2021, Orbán stated his intention to sustain Hungary‘s existing asylum policy despite directives from the ECJ to amend it. The European Commission pursued further legal action in early 2022, maintaining that Hungary had not taken the essential steps to comply with the prior judgment. The ECJ‘s ruling described Hungary’s ongoing failure as “an unprecedented and extremely serious infringement of EU law,” asserting that it represents a deliberate refusal to implement a common EU policy.

Migrant Crime

THIS WEEK IN ‘MIGRANT CRIME’: Child Killers, Gun Runners, & FAKE Robbers.

Media outlets such as the New York Times continue to deny Donald Trump’s warning that the U.S. is seeing the emergence of “migrant crime” as a “new category of crime… worse than any other form of crime.” The National Pulse has reviewed the last seven days and found many standout cases vindicating the former president.

TWO DEAD CHILDREN.

Israel Alejandro Gonzalez-Arcinega, 40, is in United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody pending deportation after he drunkenly mowed down and killed an eight-year-old boy and his five-year-old sister and hospitalized their parents.

The Mexican was arrested for the crime in Meriden, Connecticut, in 2013 and convicted for a range of serious offenses, including vehicular manslaughter. He was sentenced to a notional 12 years in prison, plus five years’ probation, in 2014. An immigration judge authorized his deportation in May 2015.

Nevertheless, the Democrat-controlled Connecticut Department of Corrections ignored a detainer against the killer and released him back onto the streets on April 2 without even notifying deportation officers. He remained at large for weeks but was detained on May 1.

“His actions shattered a family. We cannot allow unlawfully present convicted felons to victimize the residents of our communities,” complained ICE field office director Todd M. Lyons.

PEDOPHILE ‘GOTAWAY.’ 

ICE confirmed the arrest of a Salvadoran pedophile on Tuesday. They did not name the illegal — covering up identifying information has become a worsening habit of the agency under Joe Biden — but confirmed he was convicted of raping a person under the age of 15 in New York.

The Salvadoran told the authorities he “unlawfully entered the United States April 10, 2022, at a place not designated as a port of entry… thus he was not inspected, admitted or paroled into the United States by an immigration official.”

This makes him a so-called “gotaway” — a category of illegal alien often missed in immigration statistics that has tripled under Biden.

SECOND-CHANCE DRUNK DRIVER KILLS TEEN.

Antonio Antonio Rodas, 29, has been charged with murder after smashing into a car driven by Adam Luker, 19. The illegal alien was hurtling down an Alabama road the wrong way at 88 miles per hour, with an alcohol level three times the legal limit, when he struck the teenager’s vehicle.

Rodas had been charged with driving under the influence already in 2021 but was not deported.

“If [Rodas had been deported], then this would have never happened,” said an attorney for the slain teen’s family. “You know, the federal government has access to all of the, you know, information about arrests and that kind of thing,” he complained.

EVERY STATE A BORDER STATE.

Hiuder Pedro Javier Sacul-Caal, a 21-year-old illegal alien with a drunk driving record and at least one prior deportation from the United States under his belt, has been charged in Virginia for raping a minor.

Just weeks prior, former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki sneered at Virginians for rating immigration their number one issue: “You’re thinking, like, what?” she sputtered to MSNBC colleague and Russiagater Rachel Maddow in March.

“Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia!” Maddow jeered.

However, Sacul-Caal is just one of many illegal aliens charged with serious crimes in the Old Dominion this year.

GUN-RUNNING GANG MOM. 

Ingrid Vanessa Duque-Morales faces deportation proceedings after being charged with shipping firearms from Florida to Colombia.

The 33-year-old, linked to the El Mesa Y Pachelly crime organization, was arrested at her daughter’s house for allegedly shipping AR-15s, Scorpion carbines, Ruger pistols, or parts for them out of Miami, disguised in air conditioners.

She is already at large again, despite her illegal alien status, after being able to post bond.

THIRTY-EIGHT ‘EGREGIOUS’ OFFENDERS. 

ICE confirmed on Thursday it had netted 38 illegal alien criminals convicted of or charged with a range of “egregious” crimes in an April operation.

It did not name the migrants, identifying only a handful by age and crime. However, they include a Honduran convicted of felony rape, false imprisonment, and “perverted practice,” who was previously deported under Trump in 2017. They also include a home invader, a money launderer, and a Dominican convicted of child sex offenses.

COMMITTING CRIME BY FAKING CRIME?

One of the more bizarre examples of migrant crime uncovered by The National Pulse involves a gang charged with staging “hundreds” of fake armed robberies across Chicago.

Five men have been charged with a string of “professionally” orchestrated armed robberies in the Windy City, using stolen cars, swapped plates, and “advanced planning.”

Law enforcement became suspicious of the robbery spree, which spanned “two or three nights a week for at least two years,” as a result of the sums being stolen — “[m]ost victims had only a few dollars with them” — and the immigration status of the victims.

Illegals who are victimized by criminals become eligible for so-called “victim visas” preventing their deportation, and the authorities believe the Chicago “robberies” were organized to abuse this policy.

They were not totally without danger, however. At least one store clerk was shot by the “robbers” after he discharged his firearm during one of the “robberies,” seemingly by accident.

Hezbollah Leader Threatens Europe With Fresh Wave of Migrants.

Hassan Nasrallah, the Islamist cleric and leader of Hezbollah, is pressuring the Lebanese government to allow a Syrian migrant armada to sail for Europe. In a televised address, he said it is time for “a national decision that says: we have opened the sea… whoever wants to leave for Europe, for Cyprus, the sea is in front of you. Take a boat and board it.”

Cyprus is a member of the European Union (EU) and its borderless Schengen Area and is already experiencing a massive influx of boat migrants — up from just 78 in the first three months of 2023 to over 2,000 in the first three months of 2024.

While the influx seems small compared to Joe Biden’s border crisis in the United States, the Greek Christian population of Cyprus is under one million, and the new arrivals and past arrivals during the migrant crisis of 2015-16 have put it under enormous pressure. The north of the island is under Turkish occupation following an invasion in the 1970s, and the Turkish government has settled hundreds of thousands of Muslims in the so-called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus — which only Ankara recognizes.

Nasrallah claims Hezbollah does not “propose forcing displaced Syrians to board boats and leave for Cyprus and Europe,” but it is likely many of the approximately two million Syrian refugees in Lebanon would do so if the Lebanese authorities stopped trying to prevent voyages.

Hezbollah is not officially part of the Lebanese government, but it essentially has free rein in the south of the fractured country, which was majority Christian until Muslim immigration and Christian emigration permanently changed its demographics.

CNN Anchor Begs Biden to Adopt Trump’s Immigration Policies.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria is urging Joe Biden to adopt Donald Trump’s immigration policies. “The whole system is broken, and Biden needs to confront that and say, you know, ‘We are going to have to reform the whole system,’” he said.

“I would wish he’d do something much more extreme,” Zakaria said. “Like, say ‘the old asylum system is dead. No one is coming in through that process. You have to apply from your home country.’”

When interviewer Margaret Hoover pointed out that this was the “Trump policy,” the CNN host stumbled over his words slightly but acknowledged she was essentially correct.

“Which was a Trump– and also the Mexico, let– you know, you have to be in Mexico to apply,” he said, referencing Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy.

“I think that’s all correct.”

Zakaria predicts adopting Trump’s policies will give Biden a better “political chance” in November. However, he also stresses the Trump policy is “the right policy, because the old asylum system is being gamed by millions of people.”

Immigration now ranks among inflation and the economy as one of voters’ top concerns. This includes among Democrats. Biden rates far below Trump in terms of his effectiveness on immigration and a range of other issues.

A majority of Americans believe Biden is actually encouraging illegal immigration to create a “permanent majority” for his party.

Hotel Le Jolie Williamsburg Migrants

ANOTHER Swanky NYC Hotel is Converted Into a Migrant Sanctuary.

The Hotel Le Jolie in the fashionable Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, has been selected as a sanctuary site for migrants by Mayor Eric Adams’s administration. City officials are awarding a $12.3 million contract for the hotel to serve as a “temporary” home for migrants under the management of St. P.A.U.L.S. Inc.

The city has allocated $1.3 billion to the Hotel Association of New York City to make blocks of rooms available to illegal aliens in Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. Over 100 hotels citywide are offering rooms to migrants, many at taxpayers’ expense.

Almost 200,000 migrants are believed to have entered New York City since the spring of 2022, significantly straining public resources. A total of $2.4 billion has been carved out of the state budget to provide for them. This involves significant waste, however, with thousands of free meals for migrants winding up trashed.

Mayor Adams once boasted NYC would always be a “sanctuary city” under his leadership, praising Joe Biden for halting border wall construction. Now, he says the migrant crisis will “destroy” his city and wants to change its “sanctuary” status. He has also attacked the Biden regime for not doing enough to assist him.

It is not only the Big Apple that is struggling to deal with the border crisis. Sources in Massachusetts also describe illegals absorbing vast resources living in hotels, both material and in terms of first responders’ time — due to regular callouts involving “fights, guns, drugs, [and] overdoses.”

Migrants in Massachusetts are also given resources that might have been used to help local people, such as the historic Chelsea Old Soldiers’ Home, which formerly housed veterans.

MIGRANT CRIME ROUND-UP: Pedos & Predators Repeatedly Released by Authorities.

Donald Trump has described migrant crime as a dangerous “new category of crime.” Last week, Chairman of the House National Security, Border, and Foreign Affairs Subcommittee Rep. Glenn Grothman confirmed that authorities are monitoring at least 617,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions or pending charges. The National Pulse found this criminal element continued to absorb public resources over the past week, including the examples below.

THE SEX ATTACKING STRANGLER. 

On Thursday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed the apprehension of a Guatemalan illegal alien, aged 53, arrested for first-degree sexual assault in Hartford, Connecticut.

The illegal turns out to have a long history of victimizing U.S. residents dating back to 2008, having previously been convicted of offenses including second-degree strangulation, domestic assault, and driving while intoxicated.

ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) team in Boston described him as a “serious risk to the community.” He was first issued a deportation order in January 2016 but remained at large for years regardless.

RELEASED REPEATEDLY. 

Also on Thursday, ICE confirmed it had finally detained a dangerous Salvadoran illegal who was repeatedly left at large by local authorities in Baltimore in defiance of ICE detainer requests.

He was first arrested for theft in 2015. His criminality dramatically escalated the following year, and he was hit with a vast array of charges: “attempted first-degree murder, con-attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, assault first degree, assault second-degree, firearm use/felony violent crime, handgun on person, possession of firearm minor, conspiracy first-degree murder, con-assault first degree, murder first degree, and accessory after the fact murder 1st.”

ICE issued a detainer request against him, but, as with an alarming number of the subjects featured in The National Pulse’s migrant crime round-ups, local authorities refused to honor it and let him loose among the public again.

He was convicted of “accessory after the fact murder 1st” in 2017 and “dangerous weapon-conceal” in 2019. After an arrest for theft in 2023, ICE once again lodged a detainer request with local authorities, and they once again refused to honor it. ICE did not manage to apprehend him until this month.

“This is exactly the type of dangerous noncitizen offender that we need to keep off of our streets,” said an ICE spokesman. “Unfortunately two of our local jurisdictions refused to honor our requests and released him from custody,” he lamented.

VIOLENT VENEZUELAN.

ICE reported it was able to detain another criminal illegal, Brayan Freites-Macias, in New York. Like the Salvadoran above, Freites-Macias had to be tracked down after local authorities ignored detainer requests and let him loose — despite a history of assaulting New York police officers.

The Venezuelan quickly amassed a string of charges after crossing the southern border illegally in December 2023, including petit larceny, disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, second-degree robbery, and a range of assault charges, some against law enforcement officers.

However, the New York City Department of Corrections at Rikers Island refused to honor a detainer request against him. He was released on April 22. The same day, he acquired another charge for grand larceny and another ICE detainer request, which was also ignored. An ICE Fugitive Operations Team had to apprehend him in New York City themselves.

“Brayan Freites-Macias has displayed a history of violence and represented a threat to the residents of New York City,” said an ICE spokesman. “Any time local jurisdictions refuse to honor ICE detainers, they put the public at risk.”

‘SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN RELEASED.’

Yet another criminal migrant left at large among the public was confirmed to have been apprehended by ICE on Wednesday. The unnamed Ecuadoran was convicted of second-degree assault and indecent assault of a child in Connecticut. Still, local authorities refused to honor an ICE detainer request and released the pedophile in 2022 without telling ICE they had done so.

In January, he was convicted of third-degree assault and violating his probation but was again released without ICE being notified, despite a second detainer request being issued against him. ICE did not manage to detain him until April.

“This convicted sex offender presented a significant threat to the children of our Connecticut communities,” said an ICE spokesman. “This individual should never have been released back on the streets.”

WANTED RAPIST.

ICE also reported it had detained an Ecuadoran wanted for rape on Wednesday. The unnamed 30-year-old entered the U.S. lawfully on August 31, 2022, but was supposed to leave by September 13, 2022, and never did so.

It later transpired he had been wanted for rape in his home country since February 2022. ICE tracked him down in Worcester, Massachusetts, this month.

“Every minute he was walking free represented a threat to the residents of our communities,” said an ICE spokesman.

ANOTHER RELEASED PEDOPHILE. 

ICE deportation officers also apprehended a Honduran pedophile, aged 30, in Maryland this month. The agency issued a detainer request against him after he was charged with “felony carnal knowledge of child” aged 13-14 in July 2023, but the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center ignored the detainer and released him on a $10,000 bond later the same month.

He was charged with two additional counts of felony carnal knowledge of a child and two counts of felony indecent liberties with a child in February 2024. He was again released, this time before a detainer request could even be issued. ICE did not track him down until April.

“This Honduran noncitizen stands accused of some very serious crimes and represented a threat to the children of the Washington, D.C. area,” said an ICE spokeswoman.

“When local jurisdictions have policies in place which prohibit them from cooperating with ICE ERO and from honoring our lawfully issued detainers and administrative warrants, they put the suspects, law enforcement officers, and most importantly, the members of our local communities at risk,” she continued.
