Report: Border Patrol has released 30,000 illegal immigrants directly into the country since January

Border Patrol has released approximately 30,000 illegal immigrants directly into the country since January as facilities designed to hold migrants overflow amid the ongoing immigration crisis, a former top border official under the Trump administration announced on Tuesday.

Former acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan told the Washington Examiner that the migrants were released by Border Patrol without being transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, where families can be held for 20 days.

"You’re not going to find that anywhere because they’re locking down the information," Morgan reportedly said, adding that he was personally given the information by Border Patrol officials.

Morgan made the remarks after a roundtable discussion in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas which included lawmakers, local ranchers, medical officials, and business leaders.

The news comes as the Biden administration continues to grapple with a worsening crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border as unprecedented numbers of migrants surge into the country anticipating lenient treatment.

Though publicly downplaying the crisis as a "challenge," the administration is clearly scrambling to manage the rapid influx and is now apparently electing to simply release migrants into the country as space to house them runs out — and perhaps without issuing court dates.

Normally, illegal immigrants released into the public are given a Notice to Appear, which is a charging document issued by immigration enforcement authorities to commence deportation proceedings against an individual in a federal immigration court.

But a report surfaced last week indicating that the situation had become so dire that in the Rio Grande Valley that Border Patrol was considering releasing illegal immigrants without providing a court date.

A senior source reportedly told Fox News that the border situation has "become so dire that BP [Border Patrol] has no choice but to release people nearly immediately after apprehension because there is no space to hold people even to do necessary NTA paperwork."

Fox News noted that "such a decision would be unprecedented if enacted and would place the responsibility of seeking an asylum hearing on the migrants through Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or legal assistance."

It should be noted that Morgan’s report to the Examiner did not specify whether or not the released migrants had been issued a court date. However, if it is true that they were released before being transferred to ICE, then the suggestion may be considered likely.

The mass release of migrants into the country is not unprecedented, though the rate is certainly concerning. Morgan himself oversaw the release of some 218,000 migrant "family members" over a roughly 8-month period in 2019.

Respect for Their Country Is Optional: US Athletes Will Be Allowed to Protest National Anthem at US Olympic Trials

US Olympic Committee gets woke.

Starting this year US athletes will be allowed to kneel, sit, hold a fist up, turn their back on, etc. when the National Anthem is played at the Olympic trials.

Democrats call this progress.
No longer are students or athletes expected to respect their country or its flag.

The women’s soccer team is most pleased.

And any NBA players who play for the US will be used to this by now.

MSN reported:

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee will not sanction athletes for raising their fists or kneeling during the national anthem at Olympic trials, previewing a contentious policy it expects to stick to when many of those same athletes head to Tokyo this summer.

The USOPC released a nine-page document Tuesday to offer guidance about the sort of ‘racial and social demonstrations’ that will and won’t be allowed by the hundreds who will compete in coming months for spots on the U.S. team. The document comes three months after the federation, heeding calls from its athletes, determined it would not enforce longstanding rules that ban protests at the Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee’s Rule 50 is an ongoing source of friction across the globe. Many U.S. athletes have spearheaded the call for more freedom in using their platform at the Olympics to advance social justice causes. But others, both in and outside the U.S., balk at widespread rule changes that they fear could lead to demonstrations that sully their own Olympic experiences.

The wide-ranging debate traces its most-visible roots to the ouster of U.S. sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos from the 1968 Games. Their raised fists on the medals stand in Mexico City led to the seminal snapshot of social protest in sports history.

The FBI Refuses to Look Into All the Participants Who Started Trouble on January 6th at the Capitol

The FBI to date has refused to look into all those involved in unrest at the Capitol on January 6th.  Instead, the FBI’s focus appears to be on Trump supporters only.

According to Insider, since January 6th, 388 people have been arrested for their actions on January 6th at the Capitol.

John Sullivan is one of those charged and he is a member of Antifa.

CAUGHT ON VIDEO: Antifa Protester John Sullivan Brags About Posing As Trump Supporter, Breaking Window At US Capitol Building During Riots

Sullivan’s video was used by the House in their bogus impeachment sham after January 6th.  Using this video negated the entire premise from the Democrats – that the riots were started by Trump supporters when Antifa was involved in much of the violence.

Someone Tell President Trump’s Attorneys – The Democrats’ Footage Showing Violence at the Capitol on January 6th Was Filmed by Antifa

But Sullivan is the only member of Antifa charged from that day that we are aware of – we believe there were numerous  Antifa members there that day:

IGNORED BY THE MEDIA ELITES AND FBI: List of 20 Individuals at the Capitol on January 6th – All Appear to be Connected to Antifa or Far Left Groups

There were also Ukrainian Neo-Nazis at the Capitol that day but we are unaware of any of these gents being arrested:

Neo-Nazi Ukrainians, and Forefathers of Antifa, Instigated and Participated in the Capitol Hill Riot Alongside Antifa

Today we have uncovered a video of another couple of guys involved in activities at the Capitol on January 6th.  The FBI apparently is not interested in going after them despite video coverage of these gentlemen being provided to the FBI:

By not looking at all the individuals at the Capitol equally, the FBI is again showing it is now a political organization not interested in justice.

PHOTOS: Biden Allows Reporters in Migrant Child Detention Site at 1700% Capacity


The Biden Administration finally allowed two journalists and a film crew to enter the Border Patrol migrant child detention center in Donna, Texas. The resulting photos and video show the conditions where more than 4,100 children are held in a facility with a capacity of 250 — 1,700 percent above capacity.

After leaked photos and videos of the overcrowded housing of unaccompanied migrant children in Border Patrol facilities along the Texas border, CBP officials allowed two Associated Press reporters and a CBS News camera crew to enter the Donna facility on March 30. Officials allowed the journalists to photograph and observe the processing of the children and the facilities where they were being held well beyond the 27-hour legal limit.

Due to the surge of children crossing the border without a parent, Border Patrol officials packed more than 4,100 unaccompanied minors into the Donna facility designed to temporarily hold no more than 250, CBSDFW reported on Tuesday afternoon.

Oscar Escamilla, the acting senior officer in the region, told the reporters that 250 to 300 children are entering the facility on a daily basis. Far fewer leave, he said. “That number is so lopsided,” Escamilla expressed.

During processing, journalists observed the children being inspected for lice, scabies, fever, and other health conditions. The processes fingerprint and photograph the children who are 14 and older, the CBS report states.

Alabama Governor’s Office Reaffirms End to Mask Mandate on April 9


Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey’s press secretary has reaffirmed that the statewide mask mandate put in place to combat the spread of COVID-19 will end next month on April 9.

“As Governor Ivey has previously stated, Alabama’s mask mandate ends April 9,” said Gina Maiola in a statement to Breitbart News. “We have made progress, and we are moving towards personal responsibility and common sense, not endless government mandates.”

Earlier this month, Ivey implemented a “new modified order” and said she would not allow the mask mandate to extend past April 9.

Ivey had previously extended the state’s “safer at home” order, which included a mask mandate, in January. That extension could have ended earlier this month, but Ivey felt it should carry on through Easter.

“Let me be abundantly clear: after April 9, I will not keep the mask order in effect,” Ivey said at the time.

The governor also stated then that she and state health officer Dr. Scott Harris were “both convinced that we need to get past Easter and hopefully allow more Alabamians to get their first shot before we take a first step that some states have taken to remove the mask order altogether and other restrictions.”

Ivey announced the statewide mask mandate last summer, an order she said was “hard to enforce” as she called for “everyone in our state to practice personal responsibility & wear a mask.”
