[Breitbart] Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended a large group of migrants who illegally crossed near Eagle Pass, Texas. The group of 250 is part of an increasing number of migrants apprehended in the Eagle Pass Station area of responsibility.
“The station is averaging over 500 apprehensions per day so far this month, making Eagle Pass the new hot spot for Del Rio Sector,” Del Rio Sector Border Patrol officials tweeted. “We continue to adjust operations with our constant focus on national security.”
Border Patrol officials previously stated that human smugglers utilize large groups, like this group of 250 migrants, to tie up law enforcement assets in the area in order to run drugs or so-called “high-value” migrants into the U.S.
In September, Haitian migrants make the Del Rio Sector and the city of Del Rio, Texas, the new ground zero of human smuggling activity along the U.S.-Mexico Border. Del Rio Sector officials say that with 500 migrants being apprehended per day, Eagle Pass is now that center of activity.
Over the weekend, Eagle Pass Station agents apprehended more than 1,600 migrants.
During the month of October, the first month of the new fiscal year, Del Rio Sector agents apprehended 28,073 migrants, Breitbart Texas reported. This represents an apprehension rate of about 900 migrants per day. Now, Eagle Pass Station agents alone are apprehended about 500 per day.
These apprehensions are part of the nearly 160,000 migrant apprehensions in October detailed in a leaked Border Patrol document reviewed by Breitbart. This is up by 129 percent from the previous October report.
A source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection speaking to Breitbart under the condition of anonymity said that of the more than 158,000 migrants apprehended in October, only 59,000 were returned to Mexico under the Title 42 coronavirus protection protocol put in place by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the Trump administration.
Nearly 100,000 migrants required longer detention in temporary holding facilities while awaiting processing for delayed removal under the order or in the case of more than 60,000 migrants, release into the United States.
[Breitbart] Breitbart Texas reviewed preliminary arrest data indicating some migrant demographics encountered in October have increased upwards of 9,000 percent when compared to October 2020. The documents were provided by a source within Customs and Border Protection (CBP) not authorized to speak to media.
CBP does not normally release these data and instead will combine migrant arrests of citizens outside Mexico and northern triangle Central American countries as “Other.”
In October, nearly 8,000 Brazilian nationals were arrested, a more than 4,000 percent increase over last October. More than 13,000 Venezuelan nationals were arrested representing a 9,000 percent increase over the same period. More than 9,000 Nicaraguans were encountered, marking an increase of 3,500 percent.
A total of 30,537 migrants were apprehended from these three countries in October. Nearly half were single adults. More than 15,000 were members of family units and less than 400 were unaccompanied minors.
As for the Venezuelan nationals, many moved to neighboring Colombia and other third countries before heading to the United States.
The Border Patrol is frequently encountering large groups from Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Brazil in rural West Texas. Groups nearly 200 have become the norm near Eagle Pass.
The spike in arrests of migrants from outside the Northern Triangle countries, according to the source, demonstrates the likelihood that pull factors caused by reduced deportations are having a greater influence than problems in home countries.
The source says the increase in migrant arrests from Venezuela, Brazil, and Nicaragua threaten to add to an already untenable situation along the southern border.

What's the make-up of these invaders? How many countries are represented by these illegal border crossers. There can't be that many countries in the world where these illegals are from that require asylum in the U.S. unless you count most of the Arab countries, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Italy,... We need to get back to sanity.
[SHAFAQ] An Iraqi refugee initially accused of committing a killing for 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.... terror group before coming to the U.S. is eligible to be deported because he lied on his immigration papers, a federal judge decided Tuesday.
Assistant Chief Immigration Judge Tara Naselow-Nahas ruled that Omar Abdulsattar Ameen lied when he was filling out his refugee application to gain entry into the United States. Among other things, she found he wasn’t being truthful when he said he had never interacted with, knew or had involvement with various terrorist groups, including the Islamic State of Iraq.
But she rejected other allegations, including that he provided support, engaged in terrorist activity, participated in harming another person, or misrepresented that he was a member of such a group.
Naselow-Nahas found that Ameen interacted with a cousin "who is clearly a member of an armed terrorist group." She also found the government proved that he lied when he said his father had been fatally shot and that his brother had been kidnapped.

At least they’re doing something that good governments do. That is, if the people they’re arresting really are standard issue criminals rather than rebels refusing to be conquered.
[ToloNews] Security officials of Balkh province said that at least 200 suspected people who are accused of murder and kidnapping were arrested during the past three months in Mazar-e-Sharif city and districts of Balkh province.
The head of the security department, Abdul Hai Abed, further said that the level of criminal cases has significantly declined in Balkh province.
"During the last three months when the Islamic Emirate took power we have arrested 200 accused of murder, kidnapping and robbery, and they are waiting for the courts," said Abdul Hai Abed. "Forty of them were arrested during the two weeks," he said.
Meanwhile, ...back at the revival hall, the SWAT team had finally arrived... Abdul Hai Abed added that the Islamic Emirate has begun the process of purging the ranks and reforming in the province. "The commission is sorting and reforming forces newly established in the province and has already started preliminary works," Abed said.
At the same time, residents of Mazar-e-Sharif confirmed that the level of crimes has decreased, but some mysterious killings are often reported in the city of Mazar-e-Sharif.
"The security is better compared to three months ago in the city and we ask security forces to do more for better security," said Ali Ahmad, a resident.
The residents of Balkh province welcomed security forces’ efforts in maintaining security in their city, and additionally, urged the Islamic Emirate to provide employment opportunities for the residents.
[ToloNews] After a long delay, female students from grade 7 to 12 were allowed to the attend their schools in Ferozkoh, capital of the western province of Ghor.
Provincial girls are happy about the reopening of their schools, and urged the Islamic Emirate to allow girls to attend schools nationwide.
"Today, the schools from grade 7 to 12 were reopened. We hope the schools be reopened in other areas as well" said Gay Pareea, a student.
"We were very dispirited over schools that were closed and now we hope our schools remain open so we can study and make a good future for ourselves," said Sitara, another student.
The schools were reopened as a result of efforts made by the Ferozkoh council. The council urged the provincial education officials to reopen the girls' schools.
"We reached an agreement that the high schools for girls in the capital and all districts of Ghor should be reopened," said Sultan Ahmad, head of the Ferozkoh council.
"Fortunately, the schools will reopened for the girl students. It is very important because if women are deprived of education, the next generation of the society will not have a bright future," said Habib Wahdat, a civil right activist.
Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... and Ghor are two provinces in western Afghanistan where girls are allowed to attend secondary and high school.

[REGNUM] The first flight with humanitarian aid for Afghanistan will arrive by plane of the Russian Ministry of Defense in Kabul. This was announced on November 17 by the Russian Ambassador to Kabul Dmitry Zhirnov in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper.
A batch of humanitarian cargo with a total weight of 36 tons will be delivered to Afghanistan on November 18. These are products, essential goods, medicines. In total, it is planned to bring over 100 tons of humanitarian aid.
As the Ambassador of the Russian Federation noted, the Taliban gave guarantees that humanitarian aid would be distributed among those in need. Zhirnov emphasized the importance of this condition, since, according to the Ambassador of the Russian Federation, "if there is a misfire, this will seriously complicate their further work with foreign donors."
In addition, Zhirnov clarified that Russian citizens will be taken from Afghanistan by return flights. In addition, about 900 Afghan students accepted to study at Russian universities to continue their education on a full-time basis will be able to fly to Russia on export flights.
Earlier IA REGNUM reported that the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya announced that Russia would send humanitarian aid to Afghanistan in the near future.

[DW] In a phone call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists... , Belarus' president reportedly said his country is ready to negotiate with the EU on solving the crisis at the Polish border.
Polish authorities said Wednesday the situation had calmed down, and the migrant camp by the fenced-off Kuznica border crossing was "slowly emptying."
Maciej Wasik, a Polish deputy interior minister, said he had received information that Belarusian authorities were bussing migrants colonists away from the border crossing area, although it was unclear where the people were being moved to.
Belarusian state news agency Belta reported that migrants colonists were moved to a heated logistics center near the border crossing.
A video on Twitter posted by Poland's Border Guard on Wednesday showed migrants colonists with bags being directed by Belarusian forces away from the border to an "unknown location."
In a later tweet, the border guard said around 1,000 migrants colonists remain in the area near Belarus' Bruzgi border crossing, and the rest had been "taken by Belarusian services."
For more than 10 days, a large group of migrants colonists, mainly escaping conflict in the Middle East, has been stuck near the Kuznica-Bruzgi border crossing, having been both denied entry to the EU and largely prevented by Belarusian authorities from turning back.
Polish authorities have responded by sending thousands of troops to counter migrants colonists who attempt to breach border fencing. Many of the migrants colonists aim to reach Germany or other Western European countries.

[SHAFAQ] The Sadrist movement, led by Moqtada Tater al-Sadr ...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry... , called on the political forces to wait for the Federal Court's decision on the results of the elections, and then proceed with constitutional solutions, not individual initiatives that hinder forming the government.
The leader in the Sadrist movement, Riyad al-Masoudi, told Shafaq News Agency, "The political forces better wait for the decision of the Federal Court for the elections to determine the next steps, after the results are announced, which are holding the first Parliament session and assign the largest bloc to form the government within 30 days.
"There is no harm in proposing initiatives, on condition that they are within the constitutional frameworks and not be disruptive to the sustainability of the political process, nor should they be conciliatory or exclusionary, because it will confuse the political situation."
Al-Masoudi concluded, "We reject the principle of settlements and consensus. We must differentiate between supporting the political process and the understandings that take place in this regard, and the issue of constitutional frameworks. There is a difference between political work and constitutional work."

[JPost] But none of it will make the tunnels, riiigghht? It'll be stretched out til everyone can't fake that it's not used to build Hamas terrorist tunnels
Following a May 21 ceasefire, mediated by Egypt, access to reconstruction funds and materials has been a key Hamas demand.

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... Strip, the Qatari Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.The announcement was made in Oslo by Soltan bin Saad al-Muraikhi, Qatar's minister of state for foreign affairs, during a ministerial meeting of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC), the international donor group for Paleostinians.
He (Muraikhi) affirmed that these joint collaborative efforts will contribute to improving living conditions (in Gaza)," the Foreign Ministry statement said.
About 2,200 homes in the enclave were destroyed and 37,000 others were damaged during the 11-day conflict between Israel and Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, in May, says Gaza's Hamas-run government.
Some homes in Israel were damaged by rockets launched by Islamist organization Hamas and other Gaza bully boy groups.
Paleostinian officials say 250 people, including 66 children, were killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza. Israeli officials says 13 people, including two children, were killed in Israel by bully boy rockets.
Following a May 21 ceasefire, mediated by Egypt, access to reconstruction funds and materials has been a key Hamas demand. Israel limits construction materials entering the territory, saying Hamas uses them to build weapons to wage attacks.
But following an agreement with the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... and Qatar, Israel allowed financial aid from the Gulf state to enter Gaza.
Gaza officials estimate it will take $479 million to rebuild homes and infrastructure damaged in the May fighting. Qatar and Egypt have each pledged $500 million for Gaza reconstruction.

According to official sources eight trucks entered into the Gaza Strip, bringing to 48 the total number of trucks loaded with building tools and materials and transferring Egyptian technicians taking part in President Abdel Fattah El Sisi's initiative on Gaza reconstruction.
Meantime, relief assistance continues to flow to the Paleostinian side, the sources said.
Rafah Crossing Checkpoint remains unexceptionally open by the Egyptian authorities to receive maimed and stranded Paleostinians and to allow the follow of humanitarian and reconstruction assistance to the Paleostinians, in the wake of a recent Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip, they said.
[SHAFAQ] The Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi, held a phone call with the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa al-Kadhimi, earlier today, Wednesday, according to Iranian Media.The Iranian hardliner President told al-Kadhimi that the enemies of the region will not brook the stability and advancement of the Arab country.
"They (the adversarial forces) are after [advancing] their own sinister goals through sedition," Raeisi told Mustafa al-Kadhimi in a phone call on Wednesday, adding, "All should therefore stay alert in the face of such plots."
The Iranian chief executive made the remarks amid ongoing sporadic attempts at sowing instability across the country, the last major one among which featured a drone attack against al-Kadhimi’s residence in Baghdad’s Green Zone area.
Raisi said Iran’s "unwavering and principled position" concerning Iraq is one of support for the country’s independence, security, and illusory illusory sovereignty.
The Islamic Theocratic Republic always stands by the Iraqi people and government, he said, adding, "Iraq’s unity and integrity are strategic issues that should not be compromised."
The Islamic Theocratic Republic, he said, backs whatever mechanism that could seek to resolve the country’s standing problems and disputes through legal and transparent means.
Iraq held general elections on October 10, which was followed by allegations of fraud and widespread protests in the capital and elsewhere.
Al-Kadhimi, for his part, expressed gratitude towards Tehran over its "unstinting" assistance of his country and support for its stability and security, according to Iranian media.

A clear political confrontation is necessary," Geagea added, in an interview with Annahar newspaper published Wednesday.
Labeling the electoral battle as "salvation," the LF leader said he is counting on the electoral juncture.
"We must start from the point of building the state and it is necessary to work as statesmen and to form a government that would take serious decisions," Geagea added.
Commenting on the Tayyouneh-Ain al-Remmaneh incidents, the LF leader reiterated that his party "does not have a military organization."
"Hizbullah tried to hold the LF responsible for the Ain al-Remmaneh incidents in a bid to isolate it and strike the last truly resistant position in Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years.

[NPASYRIA] The town of Tel Tamr in the countryside of Hasakah, northeastern Syria, records dozens of cases of leishmaniasis daily, and it is expected that the number of infected cases will increase.
War is Hell, in small ways as well as the obvious large ones.
Hanouf Ibrahim, a nurse supervising the treatment of leishmaniasis cases at Martyr Legarin Hospital in the town of Tel Tamr, said they receive approximately 300 new cases of leishmaniasis every week.
Hospital management has set Sunday and Wednesday for leishmaniasis patients, to provide them with free doses of treatment, as it receives leishmaniasis patients standing since the early hours of the morning and until the end of the day.
The nurse expected that the number of infected people would increase even more during the coming period due to the lack of knowledge of the nature of the disease because the symptoms appear gradually.
The Autonomous Administration’s Martyr Legarin Hospital is the only destination for leishmaniasis patients in the town and provides its services free of charge.
The number of people infected with leishmaniasis since early August has exceeded 2,200 cases in the Tel Tamr area alone, according to the hospital records.
Muhammad Othman, an official in the dispensary of the village of al-Ghurra near Mount Abdulaziz, southwest of Hasakah, said, during the last period they received more than 1,200 cases of leishmaniasis.
Leishmaniasis is caused by infection with leishmania parasites, which are spread by sand fly bites, and can cause painful ulcers of the skin, mouth, or nose.
Patients need an average of eight doses of treatment until recovery, but some cases sometimes need more or less doses, depending on the immunity and the delay in treatment.
Local doctors warn of common folk remedies that do not lead to a complete recovery and may cause risks to the patient.
What is striking about the cases, according to the treatment supervisors, is that more than one spot was injured in the face or hand, and children are the most affected group.
[NPASYRIA] On Monday, Ottoman Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mevlut Cavusoglu met with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdollahian in Tehran.
Amirabdollahian hoped that the future visit of the Ottoman Turkish president, His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... to Iran ...The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both... may witness signing a road map between the two countries.
"Iran and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... will continue high-level diplomatic talks to draft a "long-term cooperation road map to boost ties," he announced.
"We coordinate with Iran on Afghanistan and Syria, and we can cooperate on Iraq," Cavusoglu said at the presser held by the two parties.
It is the first visit of Cavusoglu to Iran after Amirabdollahian took office as Iranian Foreign Minister.
The two ministers stressed the strengthening of their countries’ economic and trade relations. "Iran and Turkey’s relations are historical, and we are working to strengthen relations between the two countries," Amirabdollahian noted.
Earlier, the Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that during the visit, all aspects of bilateral relations will be discussed, as well as an exchange of views on regional and international issues.
The talks touched on Iran’s relations with Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... , ways to reach a dialogue between the two parties, and the negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue in Vienna.
Regarding the nuclear issue, a front man for the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that the IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi would visit Iran soon.
This comes as Iran prepares to resume negotiations with the major world powers at the end of this month to revive its nuclear agreement.

(HTS-formerly al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front) increased prices of fuel derivatives in Idlib city for the second time within a week as Ottoman Turkish lira (TRY) dropped against the USD in a new record low.
According to Lira website, Ottoman Turkish lira dropped to 10,50 against the USD, while one TRY equals 345 Syrian Pounds.
One liter of top-tier imported gasoline has come up to 9.14 TRY (3,150 SYP) and one liter of top-tier imported diesel costs 8.50 TRY (2,900 SYP).
One liter of second quality imported diesel has come up to 6,48 TRY (2,250 SYP) and one liter of first filtered diesel has come up to 5,15 TRY (1,800 SYP).
The prices of one gas cylinder hiked to 127,5 TRY (43,000 SYP).
Watad Petroleum company, set up two years ago by the Salvation Government (the civil wing of HTS), monopolizes the fuels imported to Idlib city which is completely controlled by HTS.
In mid-November, Watad Petroleum increased the prices of oil derivatives in northwest Syria shortly after it had already surged their prices, a move that caused a widespread public contempt and rage in northwest Syria.
Watad Petroleum claimed that hikes in fuel prices and gas cylinder is because the Ottoman Turkish lira tumbled against the USD.

[Jpost] Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi announced that the country's resources in other countries had been unblocked.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi announced that Iran now has access to its resources in other countries, during a session in the Iranian parliament on Tuesday, according to the Fars News Agency.
"In the beginning, the government had problems with selling oil, but now the situation has improved and I can only say that the government has access to its resources in other countries," said Raisi.
The president did not provide any further details.
The announcement comes just days after Ali Naderi, the managing director of Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), tweeted that over $3.5 billion of Iran's blocked resources had been released by one of the countries holding them.
Naderi added that a "significant portion" of the now unblocked resources were entering Iran's trade cycle. The IRNA CEO did not specify which country had released the resources.
