[JustTheNews] In routine OLS operations, DPS officers are continuing to disrupt human smuggling operations.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has launched a new Operation Lone Star task force to track and apprehend gotaways – the term used by Border Patrol agents and law enforcement who illegally enter the U.S. intentionally in between ports of entry to evade law enforcement.
Many have criminal records and are single young men of military age, BP agents and law enforcement officers have told The Center Square.
While an OLS Task Force launched many months ago by Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd to pursue gotaways, cartel operatives and smugglers operating along Highway 59, this task force is led by the Texas Department of Public Safety in the Rio Grande Valley. They are also using K9s and drones to detect, track down, and apprehend what has become record numbers of gotaways entering the U.S. every month.
In November, overall, known and recorded gotaways entering the U.S. illegally through the southern border totaled more than 93,000 – meaning nearly 100,000 people entered the U.S. illegally from all over the world and law enforcement has no idea who they are or where they are.
OLS DPS officers have played a vital role since OLS was launched in March 2021 – acting as the calvary to support local law enforcement offices that don’t have the resources or staff to handle the volume of people coming through small communities near the border. In McMullen County, for example, slightly 100 miles north of the Texas-Mexico border, the number of people who came through in one month was seven times greater than its population.
In one recent action, the new DPS unit apprehended roughly 50 illegal foreign nationals hiding in the brush near La Joya and Mission, Texas. In another, working with Border Patrol agents, they apprehended 30 people hiding in the brush in Sullivan City, in Hidalgo County – all from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador who’d entered illegally as gotaways.
In routine OLS operations, DPS officers are continuing to disrupt human smuggling operations. During a recent commercial vehicle safety inspection of an 18-wheeler in Jim Hogg County, officers discovered the driver was smuggling 15 people, including a child, hidden inside a gravel trailer. The driver was from San Antonio and was charged with human smuggling.
Since last March, OLS law enforcement officers have apprehended 333,000 foreign nationals in the country illegally and made more than 22,000 criminal arrests, with more than 20,000 felony charges reported, according to state data.
Those who are apprehended who aren’t arrested for committing state crimes are “referred to Border Patrol.” This is one reason why the Republican Party of Texas, conservatives and judges have called on Abbott to declare an invasion and repel it – to prevent illegal entry and deliver those who illegally enter to the Mexican border, not to Border Patrol. Under current Biden administration policies, BP agents, with some exceptions, are ordered to release them into the U.S. instead of processing them for deportation.
In order to “provide relief” to local communities, the governor directed the Texas Department of Emergency Management to transport those who are released by BP agents and voluntarily agree to be sent north to so-called “sanctuary cities.”
As of Dec. 9, Texas has bused more than 8,500 people to Washington, D.C., since April, over 4,000 to New York City since Aug. 5, over 1,300 to Chicago since Aug. 31, and more than 260 to Philadelphia since Nov. 15.

His strategy is correct. Illegals, especially criminals, will book it out of Texas and head for sanctuary states and cities. It is a tennis shoes to outrun your buddy not the bear strategy. If red states follow suit, the invasion will mostly impact Dem places that will be motivated to do nothing about it. Federal judges in Maryland won’t be the problem. The judges in Austin will be the ones messing with the policy.

[REGNUM] Ugandan army kills 11 militants who crossed the border with DR Congo
At least 11 militants from the Alliance of Democratic Forces
...more usually translated from French into English as Allied Democratic Forces, one of several murderous Moslem groups in NE Congo. In 2019 the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on them for the usual reasons. ISIS claims their their work from time to time, but they seem less ideological and more that they just like killing infidels....
(ADF) group (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) were destroyed by the Ugandan military on December 13, Felix Kulaijie, a representative of the Uganda Popular Defense Forces (UPDF), wrote in his microblog .
A group of Islamists, which numbered about 20-30 people, crossed the Semiliki River to the southwestern region of Ntoroko in Uganda from the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo).
The militants collided with a detachment of military men and entered into battle with them. Kulaijie also said that eight more Islamists were taken prisoner. In addition, he specified that one Ugandan soldier was killed in the clash.
Felix Kulaijie announced on November 21 that Uganda would send 1,000 troops to DR Congo.
The Allied Democratic Forces ...the ADF is one of several murderous Moslem groups in NE Congo. In 2019 the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on them for the usual reasons. They don't appear to be affiliated with al-Qaeda or Islamic State, though ISIS claims their work from time to time — they just like killing infidels.... [ADF] murderous Moslems have been killed by Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF) on Tuesday as they attempted to cross River Semliki near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... 15 murderous Moslems from ADF and two civilians were reported dead by the Ugandan forces. ADF rebels had made an attempt to raid villages in Ntoroko District in the western part of Uganda when they were shot full of holes in a brutal exchange of fire.
"Earlier this week we received intelligence and monitored a group of about 30 ADF rebels trying to cross River Semliki to attack villages in Ntoroko district and that’s when our forces engaged them in a battle stopping them before they could mount a serious raid on civilians and as we speak, many of them have been put out of action." Confirms Colonel Deo Akiiki, the deputy army spokesperson, of Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF) while addressing the press in Uganda.
At the same time, UPDF has denied media reports by local stations that civilians, including children, were killed during the attack, while hundreds of others fled their villages.
The ADF is a Ugandan Islamist krazed killer rebel group that uses the eastern DRC as its base. It was established in 1996 and has carried out several kabooms inside Uganda’s capital, Kampala, the most recent being in October and November last year where at least five people were killed.
The ADF operates in Ituri and North Kivu provinces, where Uganda deployed the Mountain Brigade in Operation Shujaa, jointly with the DRC government to hunt down, fight and uproot the rebel group from its bases.

[REGNUM] Ethiopian authorities are investigating the deaths of 27 Ethiopian citizens whose bodies were found on the outskirts of the Zambian capital Lusaka, Ethiopia's state news agency reported.
According to journalists, these persons tried to cross illegally to South Africa. All of the victims were men between the ages of 20 and 38.
Ethiopia will send its experts to Zambia to identify these people. It is noted that one migrant still managed to survive. He is in a hospital in Lusaka.
As REGNUM reported earlier, in mid-October, the leader of a criminal group that was engaged in transporting illegal migrants from Africa to Europe was detained in Ethiopia.
[IsraelTimes] Two of the defendants given 18-year prison terms for helping Mohammed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel carry out attack claimed by Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
A French court on Tuesday ordered prison terms for eight suspects charged in the harrowing 2016 terror attack in Nice, where a suspected Islamist attacker plowed his truck into a crowd celebrating the July 14 national holiday.
Two men were given the most severe sentences of 18 years behind bars for helping Mohammed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a 31-year-old Tunisian resident, prepare an attack that killed 86 people and injured over 450 in a four-minute rampage on a seaside embankment in the southern city before being rubbed out by police.
Judges determined that Mohammed Ghraieb and Chokri Chafroud must have known about the attacker’s turn to Islamist radicalism and his potential to carry out a terror attack, based on records of phone calls and text messages among the three in the days ahead of the massacre.
Ghraieb, a 47-year-old from the same Tunisian town as Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, and Chafroud, a 43-year-old Tunisian, are also accused of helping to rent the delivery truck.
They denied the charges.
Ramzi Arefa, 28 — who has admitted to providing Lahouaiej-Bouhlel with the gun he fired at police without hitting anyone — was handed a 12-year term, though he was not accused of criminal association with a terrorist or of being aware of Lahouaiej-Bouhlel’s potential for launching an attack.
The Islamic State group later claimed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel as one of its followers, though Sherlocks have not found any concrete links between the attacker and the jihadists who at the time controlled swaths of Iraq and Syria.
The five other suspects, a Tunisian and four Albanians, were sentenced to prison terms of two to eight years on charges of weapons trafficking or criminal conspiracy, but without any terrorism link.
Brahim Tritrou was the only suspect tried in absentia after fleeing judicial supervision to Tunisia, where he is now believed to be under arrest.
NIGHT OF HORROR
Some 30,000 people had gathered on the Nice seafront to watch a fireworks display celebrating La Belle France’s annual Bastille Day holiday on July 14 when Lahouaiej-Bouhlel began his rampage.
According to French and Tunisian press reports, his body was repatriated to Tunisia in 2017 and buried in his hometown of M’saken, south of Tunis. This has never been confirmed by the Tunisian authorities.
La Belle France has been buffeted by a wave of Islamist terror attacks since the killings at the satirical Charlie Hebdo ...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe... newspaper and a Jewish supermarket in Gay Paree in January 2015, often by "lone wolf" attackers acting in the name of IS or other jihadist groups.
In October, a Gay Paree appeals court upheld the life sentence of Ali Riza Polat, accused of helping to find the weapons for the Charlie Hebdo attackers.
The Nice trial took place at the historic Palais de Justice in Gay Paree, in the same purpose-built courtroom that hosted the hearings over the November 2015 terror attacks in Gay Paree that left 130 people dead.
[OneIndia] In an expected move, the banned terror group Sikhs for Justice headed by its proscribed chief, Gurpatwant Pannun offered legal and financial help to those involved in the RPG attack on a cop shoppe in Tarn Taran. So far the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... police and Counter Intelligence Wing have detained around 12 people for their alleged involvement in the attack which took place on Saturday.
In a video message Pannun said that those who have been detained by the DGP and CM Bhagwant Mann government, I urge you to connect with the Sikhs for Justice. We will provide you with legal and financial help as well, the terrorist is heard saying.
The SJF has been at the helm of the Khalistan movement. Based abroad, Pannun has had a role in trying to incite the farmers during the farmers' agitation. He has also been open about how he plans to revive the Khalistan movement in Punjab. The Intelligence agencies say that he is on the pay roll of Pakistain and has made a lot of money to drum up the anti-India sentiment.

Pannun has also been at the forefront of several pro-khalistan referendums in the United Kingdom, Canada. His latest outing is in Canberra, Australia.
In other developments:
One of the three rocket launchers that was used to target the police has been recovered. Quoting sources media reports said that nearly three rocket propelled grenades (RPG) were dispatched to the local terror sleeper cells in Punjab with the help of drones.
Investigations have suggested that the criminal mastermind of this attack could be Lakbhir Singh Landa, the head of the International Sikh Youth Federation. He is said to have used his networks in Taran Tarn to execute the attack.
SJF claims responsibility:
Following the RPG attack on the Sarhali Police Station on the Amritsar-Bhatinda highway in Tarn Taran district, the SJF which is based in the US grabbed credit for the attack.
Reports the ancestral home of Khalistani terrorist Harvinder Singh Sandhu alias Rinda is located near Sarhali. Last month Rinda was killed in Pakistain. He was the one who was involved in several terror strikes in Punjab and had supplied arms to the murderers of Sidhu Moosewala.
The agencies say that the attack at Tarn Taran were carried out on the instructions of the ISI. The intent was to keep the fear of Rinda alive in the region, the agencies also feel.
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)’s special forces on Tuesday arrested an alleged emir of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) in a series of joint operations with the US-led coalition targeting the group’s cells in northeast Syria (Rojava) amid an ongoing Ottoman Turkish offensive.
"The operations resulted in arresting one of the ISIS emirs along with two other bully boyz who were responsible for supplying the terrorist cells with weapons and ammunition in an attempt to target the prisons and al-Hol camp," the SDF said in a statement, referring to a camp in northeast Syria that houses tens of thousands of ISIS suspects.
The SDF added that the operations were conducted in the towns of al-Hol and Tal Hamis as well as in Deir ez-Zor.
While the operations between the SDF and the US-led coalition against ISIS continue, the ongoing Ottoman Turkish aerial campaign has caused disruption with a temporary pause days after the operation, raising fears of a potential ISIS resurgence in the area.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... on November 20 launched Operation Claw-Sword targeting Kurdish positions of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) - the backbone of the SDF - and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in northern Syria and the Kurdistan Region.

The operation has led to a barrage of dozens of drones and Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s targeting the SDF, which presents a danger to US personnel as they maintain a presence in the area.
In late November, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that a deadly Ottoman Turkishdronezap against a joint Kurdish-American base that killed 2 SDF fighters put American forces in northern Syria in danger.
An overnight US helicopter raid in eastern Syria on Sunday killed two ISIS officials, CENTCOM announced, with the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor’s chief Rami Abdulrahman telling AFP that the SDF’s anti-terror units also assisted in the operation.
The Kurdish forces and Washington have repeatedly threatened that a Ottoman Turkish ground offensive in the area would jeopardize hard-earned gains made in the years-long fight against ISIS.
ISIS swept through vast swathes of Syrian land in 2014 but was declared territorially defeated in 2019 after the SDF overran its last bastion in Baghouz.
