[JustTheNews] Despite record numbers of illegal border crossings, the agency is deporting historically low numbers of eligible candidates.
Amid a surge of roughly 7,000 daily illegal migrant border crossings, U.S. immigration agencies are deporting just 100 illegal immigrants a day, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
FAIR makes the claim after reviewing Immigration and Customs Enforcement data that the group says puts deportation figures under the Biden administration at just one-fifth the number compared to recent years.
The group, which advocates strong border protection, believes the low, daily-deportation figure illustrates the administration's goal of knee-capping ICE by preventing it from executing a primary purpose – deporting illegal immigrants.
The ICE data shows that in a fiscal 2021, in which close to two million illegal immigrants were apprehended at the border, just 55,000 were removed by the immigration agency, according to FAIR.
The group says the numbers are in "long-delayed preliminary data quietly released" by ICE and the fiscal 2021 deportation number is "historically low," compared to those in fiscal 2017-2019 and about one-third of the total for fiscal 2020.
The removals that did take place occurred prior to Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' change in department protocols about who agents should be arresting. Now that ICE agents are barred from arresting and deporting all but the most violent criminals, deportation figures may drop even lower in 2022.

[Epoch Times via ZH] Top officials at a U.S. federal cybersecurity agency are urging a judge not to authorize at this time the release of a report that analyzes Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, arguing doing so could assist hackers trying to "undermine election security."
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was recently provided an unredacted copy of the report, which was prepared by J. Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.
The report discusses "potential vulnerabilities in Dominion ImageCast X ballot marking devices," or electronic voting devices, according to the government.
While CISA supports public disclosure of any vulnerabilities and associated mitigation measures with election equipment, allowing the release of the report at this point "increases the risk that malicious actors may be able to exploit any vulnerabilities and threaten election security," government lawyers said in a Feb. 10 filing in the case.
The case was brought in 2017 by good-government groups and voters who say the lack of paper ballots undermines the voting process.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama nominee overseeing the case, was urged by CISA to reject attempts to release a redacted version of Halderman’s report for now.
CISA officials want to review the information in the report and help Dominion resolve the vulnerabilities identified before the report is released. They said they weren’t able to provide a date by which they’ll be finished.
Totenberg must weigh the request against the wishes of Georgia Secretary State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican and one of the defendants, who called in late January for the release to happen immediately.
John Poulos, Dominion’s CEO and president, said in a statement released by Raffensperger’s office that Halderman’s review lacked "a holistic approach," adding that Dominion "supports all efforts to bring real facts and evidence forward to defend the integrity of our machines and the credibility of Georgia’s elections."
Plaintiffs, including the Coalition for Good Governance, also support the release of the report, David Cross, one of their lawyers, confirmed to The Epoch Times.
The plaintiffs said in a filing before a copy was sent to CISA that the agency should get a copy and begin its evaluation process, but that the evaluation "should not unreasonably delay the public disclosure of the report, which must be promptly disclosed to Georgia state and county election officials, and filed on the public docket, so that public officials can secure the upcoming May primary elections."
They asked Totenberg to order them to file a redacted version of the report on the docket, which would make it accessible to the public, no later than March 4.

Wait. Aren't the Dominion Systems 'bulletproof'?

Follow the Biden DOJ/DNC logic here:
"...doing so could assist hackers trying to "undermine election security."
So hasn't the DOJ inadvertently just told us the Dominion System Backdoor still exists and has not been secured yet, after almost 2 years, as we now come into Mid-terms?
So why hasn't this admittedly long known security hole been secured yet?
Plus, how can we be sure it is NOT used in 2022/2023?
Seriously does anybody TRUST the government workers with voter tabulation right now?
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS:
Given the DOJ's own release challenges to the admitted Dominion System Backdoor?
Hasn't the DOJ itself now presented additional grounds for challenging the 2020 National Election integrity? Or, should we conclude the far-fetched idea, that somehow 100's of State / County / City level election workers across the USA all figure out how to use the Dominion System Backdoor hole for criminal manipulation of conduct vote tabulation individually?
BTW: What about the lawsuits that Dominion System has ongoing against multiple persons. Could these persons now demand the Hack evidence for their defense and COUNTER-LAWSUITS?

They know that these machines or ones like it will never be used again and it is back to old fashioned ballot box stuffing then. They'll never let that happen if they can.

Trump had a mysterious one-on-one with then NSA Director ADM Michael S. Rogers during the run-up to his election. Speculation was that Rogers told Trump that he was being monitored. Trump moved his campaign HQ out of the Towers the day after the meeting.
As mentioned in the comments, Trump needs to file a civil suit against Clinton.
I would be very surprised if the Biden DoJ didn't eventually obstruct the Durham investigation.

Whoa is right! How will that affect the looming mid-term elections? How will Brandon's Boys and Broads respond?

This is beyond scandalous. This is proof positive that Clinton's campaign was a criminal enterprise that fabricated a monstrous accusation and then perverted every available instrument of power -- the national security establishment, the justice system, law enforcement and elements of the tech industry -- to commit felonies in order to destroy a political rival and then to bring down a duly elected president.
This is far worse than Watergate. This is treason.
Trump is absolutely correct:
Former President Trump reacted to the filing on Saturday evening, saying Durham’s filing "provides indisputable evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia."
"This is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution," Trump said. "In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death."

Questions:
1- Did our masters know this was coming before they started talking up the attack on Ukraine?
2- A little inside baseball, but legal malpractice policies require the lawyer or law firm to put the insurance carrier on notice of claims, potential claims, etc. Has Sussman's law firm put its carrier on notice? When, and what did the notice say?

Could the Hillary Campaign be criminally charged for paying person(s) function as a 5th column to criminally trespass, gain access using fraudulent means to his offices to conduct what could be called corporate espionage?
Given the level of access.
Think of the ease for a I.T. savvy DNC person to IMPLANT false data on the Trump network or internal system.
A scripted cron job to move data from a 4GB Flashdrive to a Trump system is not a major feat and would take at most a few mins.

Remember when Trump took office and delayed moving to the WH due to a bug infestation or something?
Appears to me that didn't work well for Hillary and friends so they had to resort to this.

I am not sure exactly what the Clinton people are accused of doing - accessing Trump computers and FINDING incriminating data or of putting it there. May make no difference legally but would morally.
