CBP to send more agents to border to ready for likely end to Title 42, immigration surge
[JustTheNews] Arizona Democrat Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly told President Biden they've "not yet seen evidence" of DHS plan to address end to Title 42

Customs and Border Protection is asking agents across the country to come to the southwest sector to assist with the soon-expected end of the Trump-administration's emergency use of the Title 42 federal health statute and a resulting surge in illegal immigration.

According to a CBP memo obtained by Just the News, the agency's Office of Field Operations is "anticipating increased operational tempo along the SWB, necessitating additional resources to assist with processing, facilitation, and enforcement, as well as to limit operational disruptions."

The office also suggests in the memo that such as surge could begin as early as next week and asks for "supervisory and non-supervisory CBP officers" to deploy to that sector's ports of entry "for up to 60 days, with the possibility to extend. The anticipated start date for this assignment is April 5, 2022, with expected travel on April 4, 2022."

Title 42 is a public health statute that was enacted in the 1940s and now gives the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authority to determine whether a communicable disease in a foreign country poses a serious threat of spreading in the U.S. through people entering the country.

The Trump administration in March 2020, amid the early surge in COVID-19 deaths, imposed the statute so that CBP could immediately remove anyone entering the country without authorization and to close the border to nonessential travel in the "interest of public health."

The recent CPD memo also warns that those coming to the border to work should expect "irregular shifts and schedules, including holidays and weekends" and that overtime may be authorized as necessary.

More than 1.7 million illegal immigrants have been deported since the statue was impose roughly two years ago, according statistics from the CBP, which on Monday did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Biden administration is expected to review Title 42 on Wednesday.

Earlier this month, the administration announced that it would cease deportations of unaccompanied immigrant children under Title 42.

Bashagha Accuses Dbaiba of Funding Terrorism in Libya
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

The Libyan Parliament designated Prime Minister, Fathi Bashagha accused the Prime Minister of the outgoing Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba of supporting terrorism and armed militias.

During an interview with al-Arabiya al-Hadath television channel, Bashagha said a number of militias that supported Dbaiba had now "retreated."

He confirmed his government has the ability to enter 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...
, "but prefers to enter it peacefully, and without bloodshed. The outgoing government is trying to drag us into a conflict that will lead to casualties."

Bashagha pointed out that his administration has contacted militias and politicians in order to resolve the crisis. He sharply criticized the GNU, claiming it "has many administrative transgressions, which is unprecedented by any Libyan government."

"The outgoing Dbaiba government wants to cling to power and loot Libyan funds," adding that "it had spent the money on terrorist and gangs."

He also made it clear that his government will not prosecute anyone or settle personal grudges, as "this is up to the judicial and supervisory authorities."

On Saturday, Bashagha accused the GNU of deliberately sabotaging the country’s general elections. During an interview with al-Wasat TV, Bashagha said that Dbaiba did not intend to hold elections from the start. "He informed foreign and local parties that he would last for two years or more, and there would be no elections," Bashagha added.

"Since 2011, successive Libyan governments handed over power smoothly, and even the Salvation Government responded after a short period, but the Dabaiba government did not," he noted.

Last week, Bashagha warned of the collapse of the ceasefire agreement if the outgoing GNU continues to refuse to hand over power to his government.

"The outgoing government’s continued usurpation of power and the threat of violence threatens to unravel the ceasefire agreement, and undermine national and international efforts to hold elections," Bashagha said in a statement.

On 10 February, the Speaker of the Libyan Parliament, Ageela Saleh announced that they unanimously appointed Bashagha as the new Prime Minister.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
Dbaiba warned that the appointment of a new interim government could lead to war and chaos in the country. He renewed his pledge to only hand power over to an elected government.

'Stop killing... or your friends are going to pay for it': El Salvador's president threatens to 'punish' the 16,000 imprisoned MS-13 and Barrio 18 gangsters if spike in murders does not end
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • El Salvador is enduring a fresh wave of gang violence which has seen some 87 people killed since Friday alone

  • President Nayib Bukele has now warned that jailed gang members will 'pay for it' if the murder spike continues

  • There are around 70,000 gang members in the country, many belonging to the notorious MS-13 and Barrio 18

#1  'We confiscated everything, even their sleeping mats, we also rationed their food and now they will no longer see the sun,' Bukele said.

The president's decision was slammed by the former executive secretary of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), Paulo Abrao.

'Criminal populism: illegalities to confront illegalities. Barbarities to confront barbarities,' he wrote on Twitter.

Bukele immediately responded: 'You at the OAS (Organization of American States) and the IACHR were the ones who sponsored the truce that only strengthened the gangs and allowed them to accumulate resources, money, weaponry.'

Trial set for member of IS 'Beatles' kidnap-and-murder cell
[Rudaw] Jury selection begins on Tuesday in the trial of an alleged member of the notorious 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....

#2  Muslim families give birth to many retarded or mentally handicapped children. The LET have a training course called the daura-e-maazoor that uses modern behavioral techniques to test for useful recruits. It filters in those that can carry out simple tasks like walking up to a spot and staying there or running into a building avoiding guards etc.

Started by two Paki doctors in 2000, a couple from London who used their own son as subject, the daura-e-maazoor course was designed for the LET and first run out of an internationally aided school for the mentally handicapped near the city of Peshawar. It yielded a bounty of superb fire-and-forget human munitions. The best part is, authorities that investigate the cases come up easily with 'mental handicap' instead of Islam as the motive.

Today, it is a modular course available in every one of the better terrorist schools disguised as islamic centers and mosques all over the world. The labels may change, but the zehni maazoor or nafsiyati maazoor [retards] are seen as assets instead of liabilities by the mullahs. Parents are taught to report and coopt their kids to islamic schooling learning to obey and function. Children with downs, other developmental or genetic problems...

And to a point they are made functional, sometimes parents are happy for that. Until the day comes to use the assets. For some. Not everyone is lucky enough for shahadat. Some just benefit from the care and training and live on. Their families are even grateful for it.

And that's just what the Jama'at e islami invented. Now the JeI is but a mild version of the darsh. There is no level of diabolism they will not go to.

So when the stupid NGO comes calling for a donation for 'poor people' to save them from terrorism or for 'unfirtunate' children in the moslem world, please make like you don't give a fuck.

#4  Muslim families give birth to many retarded or mentally handicapped children.

Over a thousand years of close cousin marriages, generation after generation, will do that.

From 2010: The Problem of Inbreeding in Islam

They developed a program to make use of those poor unfortunates? Goody. My mother, an occupational therapist who in the 1970s pioneered techniques to teach life and work skills to mentally retarded, multiply handicapped children and adults, would be appalled at the use her work has been put to.
Posted by: trailing wife || 03/29/2022 2:30 Comments || Top||

#5  Yes, modern techniques developed by educationists and therapists were used to first make these individuals trainable. The pakis thought it up first, a means of getting past security and getting the most use out of a huge number of unemployable dependents. A clear result of the legacy of human weaponization routine they recieved in the Carter years😉.

The AQ and ISIS have adopted it too. There are handicapped people aplenty in the ummah because of incêst and inbreeding. And it's really sound strategy because it stumps the authorities due to the faux altruistic nature of constitutions.

Mental Bombers all the rage

While this is the 'experts' output.

#6  A false dichotomy, indeed. As we’ve seen too often in America, some with certain kinds of mental illness will set themselves on the track of mass murder without any outside urging whatsoever. Not all, not even most, but enough to be a threat to the general populace.
Posted by: trailing wife || 03/29/2022 3:26 Comments || Top||

#7  ^ There's a major difference, tw. I don't see those people, the school shooters and idiots with rage against the system as in the same category. Those are suffering from systemic mindfcuk, if you'll pardon the French. Yes, the left has weaponized some by now. But those too are the products of the mass psychiatry experiment, fruitcakes out of broken families and students of crazed curricula. But to produce and raise handicapped individuals for the purpose of strapping bombs onto them? That's a low not even a lapsed, backslid judeochristian society will achieve.

There should probably be legislation that targets the marriages and reproductive habits of Moslems. We are trying that now in the east. While China is far ahead in the thing, we are legislating polygamy out, banning Moslem divorces, incêst and enforcing population control measures. There's only so much constitutional democracies can do I'm afraid.

If 'anti-terrorism' experts in the west were willing to learn instead of simply pad the job, adapt their enforcement in practice to the demands of the trade, they could save their societies some major heartache.

#8  But yes, you're right. Such cases are the only basis for legislative action in the west. So the system may not differentiate people with 'syndromes' and 'neuroses' from a squint eyed, oddly beaming fellow rushing toward a bunch of people with ball bearings and nails and rdx wired to a cellphone.
