[FoxNews] A coalition of 20 states and a top conservative legal group are suing the Biden administration over its recently expanded humanitarian parole program that allows tens of thousands of migrants from designated countries a month into the U.S., arguing that the program is unlawful.
The lawsuit, filed by Texas and America First Legal in the Southern District of Texas, is joined by 19 additional states who are seeking to block the Biden administration’s parole program, which allow up to 30,000 migrants from Haiti, Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela into the U.S. each month.
The Biden administration announced the program for Venezuelans in October, which allowed a limited number to fly directly into the U.S. as long as they had not entered illegally, had a sponsor in the U.S. already and passed certain checks.
Earlier this month, President Joe Biden announced that the program would be expanding to include Haitians, Nicaraguans and Cubans and that the program would allow up to 30,000 a month into the U.S. It allows for migrants to receive work permits and a two-year authorization to live in the U.S. and was announced alongside an expansion of Title 42 expulsions to include those nationalities.
The lawsuit says the program is also unlawful as it did not engage in the notice-and-comment rulemaking required by the Administrative Procedure Act — by which a number of immigration policies have been at least temporarily struck down in recent years. It also argues that the states "face substantial irreparable harms from the Department’s abuse of its parole authority, which allow potentially hundreds of thousands of additional aliens to enter each of their already overwhelmed territories." They argue that states face additional costs for health care, education and other social services.
The lawsuit also marks the latest in a flurry of legal challenges to the Biden administration’s policies by America First Legal — a conservative legal group launched by former Trump White House official Stephen Miller, described as being "at the forefront of the legal battle to save America’s borders from complete annihilation at the hands of this lawless administration."
Miller labeled the Biden program as "pre-amnesty for what would be illegal aliens before they even arrive at our border." He also compared it to the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which granted protection from deportation to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as minors.
The states joining onto the lawsuit with Texas are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

So states have to sue the DC Swamp LSD's to get it to adhere to US LAW and the US Constitution, and carry out their sworn duties?
Failures, which have already resulted in:
Drug trafficking cartel mules cakewalking into the USA.
Which resulted in an estimated 200,000+ imported illegal drug deaths in 2022 alone. CDC data says 66.5% of which involved synthetic opioids, primarily illicitly manufactured fentanyl or fentanyl, during 2022
12.4++ Million Illegals NOW residing in the USA, costing taxpayers jobs, plus costing the US taxpayer approximately $132 billion annually. While paying NO Social Sec., Income, employment taxes...other than sales taxes.
Plus over 1,000+ ANTI-USA suspected terrorists & Socialists walking in, via the Southern Open Border
Question:
Will the SCOTUS vote on Political Party agenda lines, or actually ENFORCE the US Constitution.
#3
The Constitution was ratified by the states. The states created the Federal government. It is mysterious to me why states can not sue the entity that they created. The Feds were chartered to perform several jobs none of those had anything to do being a bathroom ref. How can nobody have standing to question the derelict DC dingleberries?

[IsraelTimes] Works at state-run event have included Mein Kampf and Protocols of the Elders of Zion, with a new book on the history of Zionism showing hook-nosed Jews on its cover.
Israel expressed concern on Monday over antisemitic books being sold at Egypt’s state-run book fair.
"We are worried about the persistence of antisemitic features in Egyptian society," read a statement from the Foreign Ministry, "that are expressed in books published and presented in the Cairo International Book Fair."
A particularly egregious example is a new book on the history of Zionism, its cover featuring caricatures of hook-nosed Jewish men rubbing their hands together as they appear to plot against Egypt.
The work, first reported by Kan public broadcaster, also has menorahs, Jewish stars, and a map of the world behind the figures on the cover.
Ostensible Jewish plans to dominate the world is a classic antisemitic trope.
The book was written by Muhamed Medhat Mustafa, an Alexandria-based academic.
Israel also included positive sentiment in its statement.
"We are determined to continue our efforts to strengthen the cooperation with our Egyptian partners in a way that will strengthen the peace, stability, and security," the Foreign Ministry said, "and in parallel also the fight against antisemitism."
The Cairo event is the Arab world’s oldest and largest book fair.
It has made headlines in recent years for other antisemitic works, including multiple editions of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Adolf Hitler ...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days as a politician somebody doesn't like... ’s Mein Kampf, Henry Ford’s The International Jew, and lesser-known but equally pernicious works on the Talmud, the Holocaust and the Rothschild family.
Despite outreach to Egyptian officials by the Anti-Defamation League, and a 2020 letter by ADL President Jonathan Greenblatt to Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, the same antisemitic titles continue to appear at the annual government-organized event.
The fair has also been accused of censorship against views critical of the government and against Islamists.
Israel and Egypt signed a peace agreement in 1979 but relations have been mostly frosty, though the governments have maintained close security ties in recent years. The countries share security interests in the 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.

[KhaamaPress] Social media users have been criticizing Amazon, one of the largest online shopping platforms for selling Afghani Burqa, a compulsory dressing for Afghanistan women.
Chadari or Afghani burqa has now been put for sell online on Amazon with an average price of $99.00. It is a head-to-toe garment with a fence-style opening for the eyes only.
The online promotional message on Amazon reads as ’EVERY LADY MUST HAVE All covering, even the eyes’.
The reactions of the social media users have been mix of questioning of it was genuine or whether it is to be sold for the Western buyers as there is no Amazon in Afghanistan.
Lynne O’Donnel, a journalist writing for the Foreign Policy has tagged Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon asking him if he was really making money out of selling Chadari.
@JeffBezos — You’re really making money from the forced sequestering of women in #Afghanistan?, Lynne tweeted.

[Rudaw] The largest Yazidi community in the world is found in Germany where over 200,000 members of the ethnoreligious group live, Germany’s integration minister told Rudaw last week.
Germany on Thursday recognized 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) crimes against Yazidis as "genocide."
Reem Alabali-Radovan, Germany’s state minister for integration, spoke to Rudaw the previous day, saying the move would play a "significant role" for the status of Yazidis and a "historical move."
She also said that her country is a top destination for those Yazidis who want to live abroad.
"Following the ISIS crimes in 2014, Germany’s states launched special programs to receive refugees. Therefore, the biggest Yazidi diaspora is in Germany. Over 200,000 Yazidis live in Germany. The German government takes steps [in relation to this issue] and this is very important for me," the federal minister told Rudaw’s Alla Shally.
ISIS attacked the disputed town of Shingal in the summer of 2014, killing and kidnapping thousands of Yazidis, with the fate of a large number of them remaining unclear.
More than 6,000 Yazidis were kidnapped when ISIS attacked their heartland of Shingal in Nineveh province, according to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Office for Rescuing Kidnapped Yazidis. Over 2,000 remain missing.
The resolution by the Bundestag urges German courts to take more action against suspects involved in the crimes and to increase financial support for Yazidis.
German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock tweeted in the Kurmanji and Sorani dialects of the Kurdish language on Thursday, saying that no parliamentary decision can undo the sufferings of Yazidis but "I am deeply convinced that this decision makes a difference: a crucial step towards acknowledging suffering and towards justice for the survivors."
Germany has been an essential member of the global coalition against ISIS.
"The federal government does many things [for Yazidis]. For instance, it has a program for Yazidis in Iraq and the [Kurdistan] Region. Germany also provides financial support to the area [Shingal] which has been destroyed," the German minister told Rudaw.
She added that Germany also provides psychological support to the survivors.
[Dawn] Former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo has revealed that India and Pakistain came close to nuclear war in 2019 following the Balakot Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... , and that US intervention helped prevent an escalation, the Press Trust of India and AFP reported.
In Feb 2019, India launched airstrikes inside Pak territory after blaming a turban group for a suicide kaboom that killed 41 paramilitary soldiers in Indian-held Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... . Pakistain then shot down an Indian warplane, capturing the pilot.
"I do not think the world properly knows just how close the India-Pakistain rivalry came to spilling over into a nuclear conflagration in February 2019," Mr Pompeio wrote in Never Give an Inch, the memoir of his time as Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... ’s top diplomat and earlier CIA chief.
According to the former US diplomat, he was awakened to speak to his then-Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj, who told him that Pakistain was preparing for a nuclear attack in the wake of the air strike and India was preparing its own escalatory response, the Press Trust of India quoted him as saying.
Quoting from his book, Mr Pompeo said that the incident took place when he was in Hanoi for the US-North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... Summit on February 27-28 and his team worked overnight with both New Delhi and Islamabad to avert this crisis.
"I will never forget the night I was in Hanoi, Vietnam when — as if negotiating with the North Koreans on nuclear weapons wasn’t enough — India and Pakistain started threatening each other in connection with a decades-long dispute over the northern border region of Kashmir," he added.
"In Hanoi, I was awakened to speak with my Indian counterpart. He believed the Paks had begun to prepare their nuclear weapons for a strike. India, he informed me, was contemplating its own escalation. I asked him to do nothing and give us a minute to sort things out (sic)," he wrote in his book, which wrongly refers to Ms Swaraj as "he".
"I began to work with Ambassador (then National Security Advisor John) Bolton, who was with me in the tiny secure communications facility in our hotel," he said, adding that he spoke to "the actual leader of Pakistain", then army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
"As one might expect, he believed the Indians were preparing their nuclear weapons for deployment. It took us a few hours — and remarkably good work by our teams on the ground in New Delhi and Islamabad — to convince each side that the other was not preparing for nuclear war," the 59-year-old top former American diplomat wrote.
There was no immediate comment from India’s Ministry of External Affairs or Pakistain’s Foreign Office on Mr Pompeo’s claims.
"No other nation could have done what we did that night to avoid a horrible outcome. As with all diplomacy, the people working the problem set matter a great deal, at least in the short run," he said. "My most senior diplomat, David Hale, had also been the US ambassador to Pakistain and knew that our relationship with India was a priority," Mr Pompeo said.
"General McMaster and Admiral Philip Davidson, the head of what came to be renamed the US Indo-Pacific Command, understood India’s importance, too," he said.
"Although often frustrated by the Indians, US trade representative Robert Lighthizer — a brilliant trade negotiator and a Bob Dole staff alumnus, making him a near-Kansan — was a great partner working to deepen economic ties. We all shared the view that America had to make a bold strategic effort to tighten our ties with India and break the mould with new ideas," PTI quoted Mr Pompeo as writing.
According to AFP, Mr Pompeo writes extensively in the book about his diplomacy with Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... , which included preparing three meetings between the young totalitarian leader and Donald Trump. He recalled a chilling first conversation as he flew into Pyongyang in March 2018 on a clandestine trip as CIA director.
"I didn’t think you’d show up. I know you’ve been trying to kill me," Pompeo quotes Kim as telling him.
"I decided to lean in with a little humor of my own: ’Mr. Chairman, I’m still trying to kill you.’" But Mr Pompeo described a budding understanding with Kim as the Trump administration offered incentives to lower tension.

Pompeo had chances to fix the CIA and State. He did zippo. That should be the rallying cry for his presidential campaign, “I’ll go along to get along and then write a heroic book.”

[IsraelTimes] UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says organization plays ’indispensable’ role as increasing number rely on its services, many of whom seek only a ’life of dignity’
[IsraelTimes] 11 House representatives call on UN chief to oust Paleostinian rights official La Belle Francesca Albanese for comments, saying her anti-Jewish bias ’undermines credibility’.
US Congress members on Monday called for the removal of a UN Paleostinian rights official over antisemitic comments exposed by The Times of Israel.
UN Special Rapporteur La Belle Francesca Albanese, who is tasked with investigating Israeli activities in the Paleostinian territories, has a history of antisemitism but has not faced any repercussions from the UN or issued a clear apology.
Albanese said during a 2014 conflict between Israel and 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. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... terror groups that the "Jewish lobby" was in control of the United States.
She has also sympathized with terror organizations, dismissed Israeli security concerns, compared Israelis to Nazis, accused the Jewish state of potential war crimes, said Israel controlled the BBC, and claimed that the Jewish state started wars out of greed.
Albanese attempted to distance herself from the comments in a statement to The Times of Israel, but since the report exposing the comments last month, has denied that the comments are antisemitic and brushed off criticism as "yet another politically motivated attack."
A member of a UN Commission of Inquiry into Israel, Miloon Kothari, has also made antisemitic statements and remains in his position.
In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres ...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years... and High Commissioner Volker Turk, 11 Congress members said, "Enough is enough."
"It’s clear from Ms. Albanese’s statements that these comments were not simply a mistake, but rather a fundamental part of her worldview," they said. "Instead of taking responsibility for repeating age-old antisemitic tropes and her incitement to violence, Ms. Albanese attacks those who notice her public comments."
"You have stated that ’there is no room for antisemitism in the UN,’ but it seems you have room for Special Rapporteur Albanese and others who have repeatedly made statements that are antisemitic," the letter said.
The Congress members said Albanese’s rhetoric is part of an anti-Israel pattern at the UN, noting that the General Assembly passed more resolutions criticizing Israel than against all other countries combined last year. The letter also noted Kothari’s statements and antisemitism by the employees of the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees, UNRWA.
"This pattern seriously undermines not only the UN’s credibility on issues in Israel and the Paleostinian territories, but also the UN’s commitments to its own chartered principles of tolerance, equal treatment, and impartiality," the letter said. "We urge you to demonstrate that the UN is capable of genuinely addressing antisemitism by removing Ms. Albanese from her post."
The letter was led by US House Representative Brad Sherman, a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Democrat, and Representative Dina Titus, a Democrat from Nevada.
"In her remarks Ms. Albanese has managed to insult America, insult American Jews, defame Israel," Sherman told The Times of Israel. "It was time to send the letter to try to deal with the antisemitism that’s coming from someone who claims to be fighting for human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... ."
"There are a lot of people of good will around this world who think the Human Rights Council needs to stand up for human rights instead of standing up for antisemitism," he said.
Guterres’s office has previously said that Albanese is an independent investigator appointed by the Human Rights Council in Geneva, and not under the secretary-general’s control.
Albanese, an Italian lawyer, was appointed last year as the UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Paleostinian territories. The rapporteur is an independent expert appointed by the UN Human Rights Council tasked with investigating human rights in Paleostinian areas, publishing public reports and working with governments and other groups on the issue.
"America and Europe, one of them subjugated by the Jewish lobby, and the other by the sense of guilt about the Holocaust, remain on the sidelines and continue to condemn the oppressed — the Paleostinians — who defend themselves with the only means they have (deranged missiles), instead of making Israel face its international law responsibilities," Albanese wrote.
References to Jews and Jewish lobbies wielding disproportionate power are viewed as antisemitic because they conjure age-old tropes and conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the world from the shadows. Many of those stereotypes also depict Jews as greedy.
In response, Israel’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva called the comments "yet another stain on the credibility of this body and yet another example of the impunity that exists today regarding antisemitism and antisemitic comments made by UN officials."
"Antisemitism is a persistent malice that has infected the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Human Rights Council for far too long," the mission said.
Albanese’s statements have also been condemned by the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation... ’s antisemitism envoy Deborah Lipstadt, the US mission to the UN in Geneva, the co-chair of the US House task force on antisemitism, Israeli officials and leading US Jewish groups.
The Paleostinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs defended Albanese, attacking condemnation of her remarks as a "coordinated assault" and "character liquidation."
UN special rapporteurs are supposed to be unbiased, but Albanese refers to Israel as a settler-colonial enterprise and to Jews in Israel and the pre-state British mandate as foreign interlopers subjugating an indigenous Paleostinian population. She has repeatedly justified violence against Israelis, sympathized with terror groups and dismissed Israel’s right to self-defense.
In her first official report to the UN this year, she urged a rejection of the conflict paradigm, describing Israel solely as an oppressor and legitimizing Paleostinian "resistance." She rarely acknowledges Paleostinian terrorism.
Albanese’s "Jewish lobby" comments echoed recent statements by another UN official investigating Israel.
In July last year, Kothari, a member of the UN’s commission of inquiry looking into alleged Israeli crimes, said that social media was "controlled largely by the Jewish lobby." He also questioned why Israel was allowed in the UN. He later apologized after coming under heavy pressure but remains in his position.
Albanese defended Kothari, calling criticism of his remarks "preposterous allegations of antisemitism" and a "smear campaign."
Kothari’s open-ended commission of inquiry has been described as harshly critical of Israel and the country’s backers point out that it almost entirely ignores Paleostinian terror and violence.

If Americans were in control of the United States, things would be different. Here we have US Congress members acting in the interests of another country. What's the back channel they're using for collusion?
[IsraelTimes] MKs aim fire at authorities for allowing former grand mufti Ekrima Sabri to take off for conference hosted by arm of Islamic body charged with protecting al-Aqsa Mosque.
A controversial Moslemholy man under investigation in Israel for comments praising a Paleostinian terrorist was nonetheless allowed to leave the country to attend a conference in Morocco, according to Hebrew language media, sparking condemnation from conservative politicians.
Sheikh Ekrima Sabri,
...born in Qalqilya in the West Bank and resident in East Jerusalem, he is known familiarly by his followers as Sheikh Sabri. Yasser Arafat appointed him Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine in 1994, where he served until Mahmoud Abbas fired him in 2006 for overweening arrogance and a distinct lack of diplomacy. Thereafter he busied himself preaching at the Al Aqsa mosque and organizing anti-Israel activities, periodically earning an arrest by the Israeli authorities...
a former grand mufti of Jerusalem, flew to the north African kingdom last week to take part in a conference hosted by the Bayt Mal al-Quds al-Sharif Agency, the Walla news site reported. The Rabat-controlled arm of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation is charged with protecting Moslem holy sites and preserving Paleostinian culture in the holy city.
Sabri was allowed to fly despite having been questioned by police earlier this month on suspicion of inciting terror, over comments he made to the family of slain Paleostinian gunman, Udai Tamimi, the report said.
Tamimi shot and killed Sgt. Noa Lazar during an attack on a Jerusalem-area checkpoint on October 8, according to police. He was shot to death following a week-long manhunt while trying to attack security guards near the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Adumim.
No doubt he deserved it. All those Tamimis are troublemakers once they’ve been toilet trained.
During the visit, Sabri encouraged other young Paleostinians to join the "family of deaders," and that such a status was "sublime and divine, and to be aspired to."
Sheikh Sabri has thus far denied himself that joy, we note.
Sabri was grilled by police on January 2 following pressure from right-wing groups to investigate him over the comments. He was released home, and police have yet to transfer the case for charges to be filed, the State Prosecutor’s Office told Walla.
Police declined to place a travel ban on Sabri, despite a history of run-ins with the law, mostly over fiery ...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob... sermons in which he has expressed support for jacket wallahs and Holocaust denial.
In December 2021, authorities placed a four-month travel ban on Sabri after right-wing group Im Tirtzu filed a complaint over remarks by the sheikh in which he appeared to warn of violence in response to Jewish visits to the Temple Mount.
May Golan, a low-level minister in premier Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet, accused of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara for "dealing with nonsense, instead of doing her job."
"Once a terrorist, always a terrorist! It is our duty to prosecute this despicable inciter and initiate a process of denying citizenship to a supporter of terrorism of the lowest kind," Golan said in a statement.
Members of Netanyahu’s coalition have clashed repeatedly with Baharav-Miara as they seek to unravel and reconfigure parts of Israel’s judiciary.
Across the aisle, National Unity MK Sharren Haskel described Sabri being allowed to leave as a "blunder." "While an investigation against him for incitement and calls to murder is ongoing in Israel, he slips abroad and continues to incite against Israel," she tweeted.
[IsraelTimes] Treasury Department accuses prominent economist Hassan Moukalled of assisting Lebanese terror group’s financial operations
The United States on Tuesday slapped sanctions on a high-profile Lebanese economist alleged to be assisting the terror group Hezbollah with its financial operations.
The US Treasury Department announced sanctions against economist and money exchanger Hassan Moukalled; CTEX Exchange, a money service business owned by him; and Moukalled’s sons, Rayyan Moukalled and Rani Moukalled, who the Treasury said in a statement "facilitate Hassan Moukalled and his company’s financial activities in support of Hezbollah."
It said that Moukalled, who frequently appears as an economic analyst on local media, had "worked in close coordination with senior Hezbollah financial officials to help Hezbollah establish a presence in Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch... ’s financial system." It said he serves as a financial adviser to the terror group, "carrying out business deals on behalf of the group throughout the region."
The Treasury also alleged that Moukalled’s exchange shop serves as a "financial front company" for Hezbollah.
The sanctions also targeted two other companies owned or controlled by Moukalled, the Lebanese Company for Information and Studies (LCIS) and Lebanese Company for Publishing, Media, and Research and Studies (LCPMR).
Reached by phone, Moukalled denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! and said his businesses are "100% above-board."
The move comes after the US in December slapped terrorism sanctions on two accountants and two companies in Lebanon for providing Hezbollah with financial services.
The penalties targeted Adel Mohamad Mansour, executive director of Hezbollah’s al-Qard al-Hassan group, which has been previously sanctioned by the US, as well as another company he is involved with, al-Khobara for Accounting, Auditing, and Studies.
The sanctions also apply to the firm Auditors for Accounting and Auditing and one of its representatives, Naser Hasan Neser, as well as Hassan Khalil, who the Treasury Department said has been active in helping Hezbollah acquire arms.
As for CTEX, the Treasury said that in mid-2021 Moukalled received a license from Lebanon’s central bank for CTEX to transfer money within Lebanon and abroad, and within a year the company had obtained significant market share within Lebanon’s currency transfer sector and was reportedly “collecting millions of U.S. dollars for the Central Bank of Lebanon.”
“At the same time, CTEX was also providing U.S. dollars to Hezbollah institutions and recruiting money changers loyal to Hezbollah. Hassan Moukalled advocates for CTEX directly to the central bank governor and receives commissions in the hundreds of thousands of dollars daily,” the Treasury added.
[KhaamaPress] The United States Department of Treasury announced Monday that it sanctioned Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) cooperative Foundation and senior Iranian officials.
According to the statement, the US is imposing sanctions on the organization in accordance with the UK and the EU, as they believe the sanctions "target a key economic pillar of the IRGC".
The sanctioned figures include five IRGC’s board members, the deputy minister of intelligence and security, and four senior IRGC commanders in Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... said the statement.
According to the US, the sanctioned figures are involved in the brutal suppression of the Iranian protesters in Iran, and the imposed sanctions by the US and its allies happened after the violent mostly peaceful crackdown by them.
The protests occurred after the passing of Mahsa Amini, 22; she died while she was in Iran’s morality police custody. Then widespread anti-government demonstrations around the country took place.
According to Brian Nelson, the statement made clear that the US was committed to helping the Iranian people in their efforts to secure human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... and other fundamental freedoms.
Since the protests began, the US has designated senior members of the IRGC Cooperative Foundation and other senior Iranian officials in a nightly round.

[RIA Novosti] Terrorists operating in the Idlib de-escalation zone are preparing sabotage against Russian military personnel, said Major General Oleg Yegorov, deputy head of the Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the SAR.
"The Center for the Reconciliation of the Warring Parties received information about the preparation by terrorist groups of a series of sabotage and attacks on the positions of government forces of the Syrian Arab Republic and Russian military personnel in order to aggravate the situation and disrupt the implementation of the terms of the Russian-Turkish agreements on the joint maintenance of the ceasefire," he said.
According to the military, in the area of the settlements of Ez-Ziara, Kafrinja and Karkur, clusters of militants and armored vehicles were identified, and they also recorded the transfer of handicraft drones in strike equipment.
In addition, it was possible to detect the RZSO, with the help of which the terrorists plan to inflict provocative strikes on the positions of the Syrian government forces, Yegorov added.
"The militants intend to distribute on social networks videos showing alleged destruction of civilian infrastructure in order to accuse the Armed Forces of Russia and Syria of inflicting indiscriminate strikes on the territory controlled by illegal armed groups," he said.
The armed conflict in Syria has been going on since 2011. At the end of 2017, victory was declared over the IS terrorist group in Syria and Iraq. In certain regions of the countries, sweeps from militants continue. Now the forefront is a political settlement, the restoration of the SAR, as well as the return of refugees.
