Trend at San Diego-Tijuana border crossing sees ambulances involved in human smuggling
[SDUT] Shades of Hamas smuggling fighters in Red Thingy vehicles!
Assistant U.S. attorney says her office 'very concerned' given public safety ramifications and how such criminal conduct could harm patients with legitimate healthcare needs

At least four foreign nationals have tried within the last month to unlawfully enter the U.S. through the San Ysidro Port of Entry using ambulances as cover and posing as patients in need of urgent medical attention, according to court documents in four federal criminal cases.

In the most recent case, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested a Mexican ambulance driver on suspicion of human smuggling for financial gain, court records showed.

Federal prosecutors said the use of ambulances in unlawful-entry and human-smuggling attempts appeared to be a new and particularly troubling trend.

"We’re very concerned about it, given the public safety ramifications," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer McCullough said Wednesday. "(CBP) officers have to be on the lookout for this now," which she said could cause delays for ambulance patients with "a true medical emergency."

McCullough, who is the deputy chief of the intake section, which handles reactive prosecutions for crimes such as drug and human smuggling at the border, said the use of ambulances for human smuggling is something "we just started seeing a couple weeks ago."

According to CBP, however, using ambulances as cover for illegal crossings is not a novel tactic, but rather one of the many creative ways that smugglers and migrants have used for years to try to avoid detection.

Europe
Germany: Youth gang terrorizes small town, vigilante patrol group forms to protect children
[REMIX] When the German state fails to protect the youth, some citizens are taking defense into their own hands, even as the police warn against such an action.

The small German town of Harsefeld is grappling with a severe breakdown of public order, as a youth gang’s reign of terror has led to hospitalizations, extortion, and drug dealing. The situation has become so desperate that citizens are being forced to form a vigilante patrol group, highlighting a perceived failure of the state to protect its own people.

What was once a tranquil Lower Saxon town has now become a hotbed of controversy after a youth gang’s actions led to the formation of the patrol group.

Videos of the gang in operation have shocked the town and led to national headlines in Germany. In one video, the suspects’ faces are blurred, but one teen is severely beating his victim. There are also apparently other videos the group has uploaded online, in what some believe is an effort to boast of their acts and intimidate others.

The gang has been active for at least six months, with incidents ranging from beatings and threats to near-fatal attacks at the train station. These are not acts of youthful exuberance but brutal violence, seemingly with no regard for human life.
Reading the entire article and attached tweets, it’s clear this is a Moslem colonist problem the reporter may not bluntly state. Good for the local natives for taking charge of their own security, since the government is too PC to do the job.

#2  "Let them blame, so long as they die."

One of the problems of Gaza is what to do with the Paleostinians. They cannot stay next to Israel because they are simply too volatile and cannot help but misbehave. So, where to put them? Howzabout California? Given the legendary Paleo tunneling capabilities, they might be useful building California's Train to Nowhere. And even if they are not useful, they would be a reason to throw even more money at that still not-quite-complete project.
