[JustTheNews] Boudreaux is among many sheriffs in the state who don’t support Harris for president, he’s said after their image was used in one of her campaign ads.
California residents are suffering from Biden-Harris administration “open border” policies and California’s sanctuary state law, California sheriffs argue.
At a recent U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing on victim perspectives, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said, “when it comes to open borders and the impact of illegal immigration in California, I have a front row seat to the havoc those can wreak.”
Boudreaux is among many sheriffs in the state who don’t support Harris for president, he’s said after their image was used in one of her campaign ads.
He then described cases in the Central Valley related to the border crisis. The region is known as the agricultural heart of California and referred to as the “major breadbasket of the world” because they produce so much food, he said. The region has also had a long history with illegal immigration because an estimated 80% of agricultural workers are in the country illegally, he said. With illegal immigration comes crime, and that has stretched thin law enforcement resources, he said.
“When it comes to our open border, the Central Valley is at the foot of the mountain staring down an avalanche. We are confronting a barrage of violent criminals, events, and drugs flow from the border into our community. The free flow of illicit and deadly drugs, principally fentanyl, have turned the corridors of Highway 99 and Interstate 5 into two highways of death that unleash unspeakable carnage.”
He described how deputies and canines have been killed by criminal illegal foreign nationals who’ve been deported multiple times after committing multiple crimes in other states. He also described multiple agency operations in several counties targeting drug trafficking operations that uncovered how Tulare County has become a hub for the Sinaloa Cartel. Cartel member suspects they interviewed told them that under the Biden-Harris administration “it is easier now in the last three years than in the history of the drug organization to move illegal drugs across the border into the United States.”
He also described arrests of illegal foreign nationals operating out of Washington state who were allegedly transporting fentanyl for the Mexican cartel “all over the southern border up to Washington.” Arrested and detained on multiple charges, they were let out of jail the next day and never to be found.
“Their release was a slap in the face to the criminal justice system and a direct repercussion of failed immigration policies and an open border,” he said. California’s sanctuary law, SB54, prohibits law enforcement from working with U.S. Immigration and Customs enforcement (ICE). As a result, “there are no ramifications for their actions. California has basically become an open territory for the cartel to do whatever it wants.”
[FoxNews] Up to 1,450 migrants are allowed in via ports of entry using controversial app.
The Mexican government has started busing migrants to the U.S. border if they have appointments under a controversial use of a phone app implemented by the Biden administration that allows migrants to be paroled into the U.S.
The Mexican National Institute of Migration posted the video of what it said was the first bus transporting "foreigners" from Tapachula, in the south of the country near Guatemala, to Reynosa near the U.S. border. It said that migrants will attend their appointments scheduled via the CBP One app. It is part of an "Emerging Safe Mobility Corridor" launched by the Mexican government last month.
The CBP One app was expanded during the Biden administration to allow up to 1,450 migrants per day to schedule an appointment at a U.S. port of entry to be paroled into the U.S. if they meet certain conditions. The app also allows them to upload documents ahead of that appointment.
The Biden administration has said that the app is a key part of its migration strategy, which involves increasing funding to the border while expanding "lawful" migration pathways. It has also used the app to allow up to 30,000 nationals from four countries to fly directly into the U.S. after being approved.
But Republicans have accused the administration of abusing humanitarian parole, which is supposed to be used on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. They have said that the administration is waving in migrants quasi-legally, and have pointed to numbers suggesting that over 95% of migrants who schedule an appointment are allowed in.
The Mexican government announced in a press release last month the plan to transport foreigners to the U.S. border as part of a "safe mobility corridor." Mexico said it will issue a temporary 20-day visa for those with a confirmed CBP One appointment, and give them transportation as well as food.
The app recently came under fire from a DHS Inspector General report, which found issues with vetting among other problems with the app.
"Although CBP uses biographic and biometric information submitted to CBP One to determine whether arriving noncitizens have derogatory records, it does not leverage the information to identify suspicious trends as part of its pre-arrival vetting procedures," the report said.
Meanwhile, immigration has become a top election issue after a three-year crisis at the southern border that repeatedly smashed records. The Biden administration has called for the backing of a bipartisan Senate bill that would increase funding for the border. It has blamed the crisis on the failure of Congress to provide that funding.
DHS is also pointing to a sharp decrease in apprehensions since President Biden signed an order to allow authorities to temporarily suspend the entry of illegal immigrants across the border. Officials say that has led to a 50% decrease in apprehensions since that time. It also says it has removed more than 131,000 individuals to 144 countries, including 420 international deportation flights. Officials say they have also tripled the percentage of non-citizens processed through Expedited Removal to Mexico while in custody.
[Rudaw] La Belle France has repatriated 364 children of suspected ISIS members and they are under close monitoring as part of the European country’s efforts to bring its nationals back from northeast Syria (Rojava), according to the head of the national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office.
"There are 364 children... who benefit from coordination from my office to make sure they have the optimal care," prosecutor Olivier Christen told La Belle France Info radio station.
The parents are suspected ISIS members.
Referring to concerns about murderous Moslem tendencies in the children, Christen said that they "in no way seem to me to correspond to that expression," adding that they are "very young children, while others are fully fledged teenagers."
He confirmed that the children "are being closely monitored."
La Belle France had a large number of ISIS-linked children held in detention at two camps in Rojava and their family members campaigned to pressure the French government to speed up repatriations, something Gay Paree was resisting.
The prosecutor said that 170 women have been repatriated from Syria and Iraq since 2019 and nearly half of the children were returned in the last two years.
In July 2023, the French foreign ministry said they had repatriated 25 children and 10 women from camps in Rojava.

[MSN - Newsweek] A pro-Israel rally in Newton, Massachusetts, turned violent on Thursday evening, leading to the arrest of a 47-year-old Iraq War veteran.
Scott Hayes, of Framingham, faces charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury after he allegedly shot a man who tackled him.
Hayes appeared in the Newton District Court on Friday afternoon and was released on a $5,000 bond. The court ordered Hayes wear GPS tracking device and a curfew so he can work, according to local media reports.
The chaos unfolded around 6:40 p.m. at the intersection of Washington and Harvard streets when the man, not associated with the rally, crossed the street and attacked Hayes.
The individual who was shot has life-threatening injuries and is receiving treatment at a local hospital.
Newsweek reached out to the Middlesex District Attorney Office for further comment.
Supporters gathered outside the courthouse earlier this afternoon.
HOW CHAOS UNFOLDED AT RALLY
A group of pro-Israel demonstrators gathered on one side of the street, while an unidentified individual, not associated with the rally, stood on the opposite side. The two sides exchanged words as the individual blocked the street.
At some point, investigators said the individual crossed the street and tackled Hayes.
"A scuffle ensued, during that scuffle the individual who crossed the street was shot by a member [Hayes] of the demonstrating group," Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said during the press conference.
YM – Fighting Anti-Semitism launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover legal defense expenses and present Hayes' perspective.
According to the GoFundMe page, Hayes was ready to leave the rally when a young man wearing a Palestinian flag pin started shouting from the other side of the street to pro-Israel demonstrators. The individual suddenly ran across the street, charged Hayes, attacked him and tackled him to the ground.
"Scott was wrestling with him when a gun went off," the GoFundMe page reads. "As soon as Scott noticed his assailant was hurt he provided emergency medical treatment."
The page also indicates Hayes is not Jewish but has been defending the Jewish people and "its right for self determination and governance all across Boston, its surroundings and all around New England and the US."
Ryan said investigators are aware of the information circulating on social media but will not comment further on it.
The Newton Police Department will provide extra patrols at houses of worship over the next several days and longer if necessary.
WHDH on Friday evening named 31-year-old Caleb Gannon of Newton as the person who assaulted Hayes and was subsequently suffered life-threatening injuries after being shot in the stomach during a scuffle. The outlet reports that the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office has applied for a criminal complaint charging Gannon with assault & battery.

[IsraelTimes] US embassy reports no casualties in blast, which occurred ahead of Iranian president’s visit to Iraq; military official says explosion was caused by ‘two Katyusha-type rockets’
The US embassy in Iraq on Friday blamed Iran-linked groups for an attack this week on a US diplomatic compound at Baghdad airport, warning it retained "the right to self-defense."
The embassy said in a statement there were "no reported casualties" in the attack Tuesday, which it said "was initiated by Iran-aligned militia groups which operate freely in Iraq."
It called on Iraq to protect US personnel and facilities.
The compound, located within the airport perimeter but attached to the US embassy, provides logistical support and medical services, among other things.
The attack occurred amid rising regional tensions over the Israel-Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... war, and shortly ahead of a visit by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Iraq.
In its statement, the US embassy said Iraq had "repeatedly committed to protect diplomatic missions" and US military personnel in the country "at the government of Iraq’s invitation."
"We again call on the government of Iraq, as we have done on many occasions, to protect diplomatic and coalition partner personnel and facilities," it added.
"We reiterate that we reserve the right to self-defense and to protect our personnel anywhere in the world."

[IsraelTimes] Channel 12 news plays intercepted recordings purporting to show Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... operatives discussing how to disperse overflowing Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

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.

In the recordings of radio conversations, one operative says, "We have trucks overflowing with goods." The second operative declines the offer, saying "we have everything. In the meantime, we have no room in the stores." He then suggests they send the goods to Khan Younis.
The report says the recordings indicate the difficulties in applying pressure on Hamas, which is making millions off control over the hundreds of trucks of international aid that enter Gaza every day.
The report also says that the IDF plans to reexamine efforts that allow private traders to import goods into Gaza because Hamas has been taking 20% of all the profits from the deals.
