[EpochTimes] Arizona and Montana are taking legal action (pdf) to block new Biden administration immigration regulations, saying that these would cause negative consequences for the states.
The new rules would limit the capability of ICE to detain some illegal immigrants colonists unless they pose a threat to national security, entered through the border after Nov. 1, or committed aggravated felonies.
The Biden administration says that the rules don’t impair arresting or deporting people, but the officers in the field would need to request permission from their superiors to arrest people outside of the aforementioned cases.
"If asked about the poorest policy choice I’ve ever seen in government, this would be a strong contender," Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a statement. "Blindly releasing thousands of people, including convicted criminals and those who may be spreading COVID-19 into our state, is both unconscionable and a violation of federal law. This must be stopped now to avoid a dangerous humanitarian crisis for the immigrants colonists and the people of Arizona."
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen joined Brnovich in the lawsuit. Both filed for a preliminary injunction aiming to block the regulations from going into effect.
"Meth trafficked into Montana by Mexican narco mobs has wracked our state. The problem will only be made worse if the Biden administration continues to allow criminals to stay in the country," Knudsen stated. "Enforcing our immigration laws and helping to keep Americans safe is one of the federal government’s most important functions. The Biden administration is failing its basic responsibility to Americans."
Last month, Chief Deputy Matthew Thomas told Townhall that the crisis at the border had begun to re-emerge at around the end of 2020 because the human and drug trafficking cartels expected President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Candidate for president in 2020. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run. If you believe Tara Reade you probably shouldn't vote for him.... to have a "hands-off" attitude with regard to the border situation.
"When [Trump] took office, we saw that this area out here went completely dead. Nobody was moving, nobody was smuggling because [the cartels] knew that Trump was going to put all hands on deck out down here and that they would be intercepted so it came to a screeching halt," Thomas said.
Thomas said that since Biden has ordered to halt the construction of the southern border wall, it has created more trouble for Pinal County since it doesn’t have physical barriers, promoting the criminals to funnel through, reaching the highway and then transporting drugs or bodies throughout the country.
He added that once the people or drugs are smuggled in, they can go anywhere inside the United States, sometimes as far as Canada.
"For us, effectively, I-8 ... becomes the new border and even the cartels will tell you that’s their goal line because once they get there, they’re shooting west or they’re shooting east and then they’re on a main interstate right into downtown Phoenix ... we become the kickoff point for that," the Sheriff said.
"These people and these drugs are not coming here to Pinal County to stay. This is a transport location. This is a spot they get through to get to their final destination and they’re being sent all over the country."
[EpochTimes] On Tuesday, Ashley Moody, the Attorney General of Florida said that she is taking legal action against the Biden administration because of their "egregious" immigration regulations, which she says go against federal law.
"I’ve been speaking for weeks now and alerting Americans to the fact that this administration is thumbing its nose to its responsibilities under federal law. It is required to deport criminal aliens that are here illegally and it is just saying we’re not going to do it anymore," she told Fox News.
Moody went on to say that the Biden administration canceled a national operation that aimed at bringing to justice illegal aliens that committed sex crimes.
"First, they canceled Operation Talon, which targeted sex offenders here in the United States illegally and now they’ve released guidance, which is basically releasing into our streets serious criminal offenders."
Last week, former acting director of ICE Thomas Homan wrote in an Epoch Times commentary article that he is "in possession of another email that canceled a planned sexual predator operation last month."
Former President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... ’s efforts to create an office dedicated to fighting sex trafficking had made an "incredible impact" over the past four years, according to the founder of a nonprofit organization focused on combating child sex trafficking.
Moody said that dangerous criminals are being released back into Florida and that her team will hold the Biden administration responsible.
"They’re canceling retainers and requiring our law enforcement leaders to release them back into our state. And this includes heroin traffickers, people that are breaking into homes—you know use of a firearm with some of these felonies."
"I mean it is unbelievable, the folks that aren’t law enforcement leaders are required to release. My frustration has boiled over and we’re going to hold them accountable in federal court."

Good. Fight back with federalism. Eventually, we'll have to create two cultures with two different approaches to law and the Constitution. The Wokesters can live in NY or Cali and the normies will live in FL and the flyover states.

^ I agree it's likely to come to that but be careful what you wish for. That's what happened to the Balkans in the 90's and a bloody civil war ensued.
Trump spawned a revolution against the deep state and now the deep state is fighting back.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable"

/\ The first time it happened here it cost upwards of 700,000 lives. The issue of slavery appears to have been resolved, but many of the other issues regarding 'States Rights' and the Constitution remain simmering on back burners. Add to those new issues regarding the 2nd Amendment, abortion, and foreign entanglements.

That this nation's LAWS can be ignored willy nilly is an absolute disgrace. I guess the term "checks and balances" we all learned in grade school is yet another empty phrase. The next Gibbon who writes about the decline and fall of the United States should have plenty of material.
[KhaamaPress] Pakistain military’s spy wing participated in a regional consultation event on the extremely slow Afghan grinding of the peace processor.
Pak chief of the army staff Qamar Bajwa and Lt. Gen Faiz Hameed Director General of Inter-Services Intelligence ...the Pak military intelligence agency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir... (ISI) have attended a session in Bahrain, Pakistain’s Inter-Services Public Relations reported on Wednesday.
"Current developments in the Afghan grinding of the peace processor, border security, and necessary steps to facilitate an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned grinding of the peace processor were discussed," ISPR reported.
The meeting was reportedly part of US-led international efforts to speed up the Afghan grinding of the peace processor with the key regional players.
Bahrain’s National Guard Commander Field Marshal Mohammed Bin Isa Al Khalifa and National Security Adviser Maj Gen Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa also met with Bajwa.
Both parties discussed security issues and common national interests.
This comes at a time when UN efforts are ongoing to establish a summit in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... in the matter of the Afghan grinding of the peace processor, the summit will also host special envoys from India, Russia, Pakistain, China, and Iran.
More of the pointless minuet to distract from the fact that it will accomplish nothing while forcing the Afghans to do things they know to be counterproductive. But at least the beds will be soft and the meals sumptuous and frequent in faraway Bahrain.
[LibyaReview] Sources told 218 News, that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... informed the UN envoy to Libya, Jan Kubis of Ankara’s commitment to withdraw the Syrian fighters from the country. The source pointed to a remarkable Ottoman Turkish diplomatic move with Romania, in conjunction with the latter’s communication as "a regional country that plays a role in Libya."
The sources said this development may be considered a prelude to paving the way for the use of trainers or experts from Romania to work in Libya, or any other place where Turkey’s interests meet. They noted that Ankara will use Romanian companies to replace Ottoman Turkish forces in Libya.
According to 218 News, Ottoman Turkish officials also made it clear to Kubis that the presence of Syrian fighters in Libya was in accordance with an understanding between the Government of National Accord (GNA) and the Syrian opposition forces. Ankara confirmed the withdrawal of more than 80% of the Syrian fighters from Libya, while arrangements are being made to withdraw the remaining forces.
As for the presence of Ottoman Turkish security personnel and trainers in the military bases in al-Khums, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... and Misrata; they explained to the UN envoy that the presence of these elements is legal according to the agreement with the GNA. They added that the new Prime Minister, Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba confirmed his commitment to respecting the maritime and security agreement.

If they're not paying their merc now, why would anyone expect to be compensated now?
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... said it will continue to support the national army until the state is restored and the Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... coup is terminated.
Speaking after meeting with senior Yemeni army officials in Marib and al-Jawf, Coalition front man Turki al-Malki praised the efforts of the armed forces and popular resistance against the Iran-backed Houthi militias.
Maliki toured the battlefronts in the governorates as part of the Coalition's continuous support for the military operations.
State-owned Saba news indicated that Malki confirmed the ongoing support of the Coalition to Yemeni armed forces until the end of the coup and the complete liberation of the remaining territories under the control of the Houthis.
For his part, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sagheer bin Aziz praised the army and popular resistance forces on the battlefronts in al-Jawf, west of Yemen.

[AMERICANTHINKER] Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... origins trace back to 1932: it began as Antifascist ...anybody you disagree with, damn them... Action, a paramilitary faction of the German Communist Party. It emerged in America in the 1980s as a marginal group, remaining so through the 1990s and 2000s. About five years ago, it surfaced in earnest, and now counts students, academics, journalists, lawyers, and politicians among its members and supporters. They use sophisticated methods of propaganda, outreach, recruitment, fundraising, and reconnaissance. They strategize violent mostly peaceful protests with full security.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Iraqi Minister of Migration and Displacement Evan Jabro reiterated her ministry's intention to close all Internal Displaced Person (IDPs) camps and accused “some parties” of using the camps for political and personal benefits.
There are 37,000 displaced Iraqi families still in the Kurdistan Region, according to Jabro, speaking to reporters during a visit to Arbat camp in Sulaimani. Returning these families back to their homes in Iraqi provinces will need cooperation between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), she said.
Last year, the Iraqi government began a push to close about 17 IDP camps around the country, three years after the defeat of the Islamic State group (ISIS).
"The most important obstacles to the return of the displaced to their areas, especially in Salahaddin governorate, are due to clan disputes,” Jabro said. Destruction of homes, businesses, and public infrastructure in the war against ISIS is also an impediment to people returning home, she added.
[IsraelTimes] The Middle East Partnership for Peace Act, passed by US Congress in December, provides seed funding over five years to boost reconciliation initiatives.

[IsraelTimes] Gazoo leaders say anglers fished out Israeli drone, which then went kaboom!; deny experimental shell fired toward sea struck fishermen’s boat; Israel has denied any connection.
The Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group blamed Israel on Thursday for a kaboom that killed three fishermen off the coast of Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

[AlMasdar] The Syrian military recently increased its strength in the al-Hasakah Governorate after adding more than 2,000 recruits to the ranks of their internal security forces.
According to a Sputnik Arabic correspondent in the al-Hasakah Governorate, a new batch of recruits graduated from a six-month-long training program to join the ranks of the internal security forces in the administrative capital.
The recruits were members of the local Arab tribes of the al-Hasakah Governorate, which have pledged their allegiance to the state.
Sputnik Arabic released a video of the graduation ceremony on Tuesday, March 10th, which showed dozens of recruits in the Meridian District of the administrative capital.
The Sputnik Arabic report added that the Syrian Armed Forces have since added more than 2,000 recruits during their recent recruitment campaign in the Al-Jazira region.

Could it be that the "pretexts" for colonialism were valid? That the natives really were incapable of governing themselves?
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Thursday time was running out to prevent Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... from collapsing and that he could see no sign that the country's rival politicians were doing what they could to save it.
"I would be tempted to qualify Lebanese politicians as guilty of not helping a country in danger," Le Drian told a news conference in Gay Paree.
"They all committed to act to create an inclusive government and committed to implementing indispensable reforms. That was seven months ago and nothing is moving. I think it's not too late, but the delays are very small before collapse."
Le Drian said such a collapse would spell disaster not only for the Lebanese people, but also for the hundreds of thousands of Syrian and Paleostinian refugees it hosts, as well as the entire region.
La Belle France has spearheaded international efforts to rescue Lebanon from its political and economic crisis by trying to use its influence to persuade squabbling politicians to adopt a reform roadmap and form a new government of non-partisan specialists to unlock international aid.
Prime minister-designate Saad Hariri ...Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too.... is at loggerheads with President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... and has been unable to form the cabinet since October.
Groups of protesters have been burning tires daily to block roads since the Lebanese currency tumbled to a new lows, deepening popular anger over Lebanon's financial collapse.
"It's up to the Lebanese authorities to take their destiny in hand knowing that the international community is looking with concern," Le Drian said. "There is still time to act today, but tomorrow will be too late."
Speaking at his side, the foreign ministers of Egypt and Jordan also urged Lebanon to form a new government as soon as possible.
