Truck Convoy Heading to Southern Border Calling Itself An ‘Army of God.’

By the Lobby A convoy of self-proclaimed ‘patriotic Americans’ is gearing up to head to the U.S.-Mexico border next week, as tensions between Texas and the federal government continue to escalate. Dubbed the "Take Our Border Back" convoy, the organizers have named themselves as "God's army" on a mission to combat the so-called globalists who they believe are conspiring to keep the U.S. borders open and undermine the nation. During a recent planning call, one of the convoy organizers described the event as a monumental moment orchestrated by God. Another participant emphasized the need for the faithful remnant, referring to the Book of Revelation, to rise against the dark forces of evil. While these statements may resonate with some, experts warn that the Christian nationalist over...

The Border Patrol Union Denounces Supreme Court Ruling Allowing Removal of Razor Wire on Texas-Mexico Border

By the Lobby The recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the removal of razor wire along the southern border between Texas and Mexico has ignited a fierce debate between the Texas authorities and the US federal government. This weekend, Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd strongly condemned the recent decision, stating that agents are against cutting down the barbed-wire fences. In a recent appearance on Newsmax's Saturday Report, Judd expressed his disapproval of the Supreme Court ruling, which grants the federal government the constitutional authority to remove the barbed wire on the Texas-Mexico border. While the Border Patrol has been directed to dismantle the razor wire, the Texas National Guard has been actively installing more wire, which Judd clarified does not viola...

Failed Liberalism: A city of 710,000 struggles to cope with 40,000 indigent migrants

By the Lobby Denver, a city with a population of just over 710,000, has found itself at the forefront of the migrant crisis, with nearly 40,000 indigent migrants arriving in the past year. This makes Denver the top destination per capita for newly arrived migrants crossing the U.S. southern border and traveling north in buses from Texas. It is all too apparent that Denver’s "sanctuary city" policies have failed its taxpayers, leaving them to bear the burden. The influx of migrants is taking a toll and has stretched city services to the breaking point. Starting February 5th, the city will be implementing measures to limit the number of days migrants can stay in shelters. Those who exceed their stay will be forced out onto the streets, further exacerbating the already dire situation...

House Republicans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas on two articles

By Anna Giaritelli, Washington Examiner House Republicans plan to impeach President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on two articles in a historic committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday, the Washington Examiner has learned. The House Homeland Security Committee will take up articles of impeachment for Willful and Systemic Refusal to Comply with the Law and Breach of the Public Trust against Mayorkas, according to the committee. "These articles lay out a clear, compelling, and irrefutable case for Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ impeachment," said House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) in a statement. "He has willfully and systemically refused to comply with immigration laws enacted by Congress. He has...

Retired FBI execs to Congress: Invasion at border ‘perilous’ for America

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square contributor, Washington Examiner Ten retired FBI directors and experts in counter intelligence sent a letter to congressional leaders warning that President Joe Biden’s border policies have facilitated a “soft invasion” into the U.S. of military-age men coming from terror-linked regions, China and Russia. They argue a terrorist attack is likely imminent but preventable. “The threat we call out today is new and unfamiliar. In its modern history the U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland, and, yet, one is unfolding now. Military age men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United States, are landing in waves on our soil by the thousands – not by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from ...

What’s next in the Texas border wire legal battle?

By Kaelan Deese, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Advocates for Texas's efforts to place razor wire fences along the southern border say an appeals court should soon pave the way for such efforts after the Supreme Court ruled federal border agents could cut through them earlier this week. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday delivered a striking blow to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), who has sought to use his border security program "Operation Lone Star" to block migrants from illegally entering the country. Through a 5-4 vote with no comments, the justices overturned a lower court injunction that permitted Texas to maintain miles of such fences around the southern border, siding with the Biden administration's bid to allow federal ...

Polis, governors to Congress, White House: Make immigration deal

By Nicole C. Brambila | SOURCE: DENVER GAZETTE A cadre of Democratic governors — including Gov. Jared Polis — called on Congress and the Biden administration to reach a border security deal that includes funding to support states, such as Colorado, that are struggling to respond to the humanitarian crisis caused by an influx of immigrants crossing the border illegally. “We need Congress to take action to secure our border and pass comprehensive immigration reform,” Polis said in a news release. “States can’t do this alone. It’s time to put politics aside and deliver the real solutions and support that states like Colorado, and many others, need.” The group of nine governors urged Congress to quickly negotiate a legislative package that addresses border security and modernizes the ...

Immigrants may cause spike in annual metro Denver homeless count

By Kyla Pearce and Noah Festenstein | SOURCE: COLORADO POLITICS An annual count of Denver's homeless population will include immigrants who crossed America's southern border and ended up in the city's shelters, potentially increasing the number by a significant amount. The annual point-in-time count, which offers a snapshot of the country's homeless population on a single night, is taking place across Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties from sundown to sundown between Jan. 22 and Jan. 23. Last year's count put the number of homeless people at more than 9,000, but a different tracking system said the figure is closer to 30,000 throughout the year, leading many to believe that the annual point of time count is limited.  Kyla Moe, depu...

Immigration remains tops for Trump nearly a decade after his ‘build the wall’ campaign

By Haisten Willis, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Former President Donald Trump's doubling down on his anti-immigration political roots is resonating with GOP primary voters in the face of record-breaking border encounters. "I'll seal the border, and we'll shut down the invasion of our country ... that's the first thing," Trump said Monday night in Laconia, New Hampshire, adding he'd deploy the "largest deportation program in American history. We have no choice." On the eve of the New Hampshire primary that could knock out his final competitor, Trump is campaigning as the candidate who can restore law and order to the border on day one in office and reverse President Joe Biden's policies that made the U...
