Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released thousands of migrants into the country despite risk assessments recommending they be detained, according to a newly released report.
ICE officers released 11,754 noncitizens from their custody despite receiving Risk Classification Assessments (RCA) that recommended they remain detained, according to a report by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General.
"...Today, most oil continues to be sold in U.S. dollars, and most global trade continues to be conducted in U.S. dollars.
But that could change as other countries lose faith in our currency.
In particular, we will want to carefully watch what the BRICS nations choose to do.
45 percent of the world’s inhabitants live in the BRICS nations, and they have been implementing strategies that are designed to promote their own currencies and reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar.
As U.S. relations with leading BRICS nations continue to deteriorate, I would expect that trend to accelerate. So I am not optimistic about the future of the petrodollar at all...
"Yeah, we’re a constitutional republic. Sure, it’s a democratic form of government. But calling it a 'democracy' ignores important, constitutional limitations—put in place by our founders—designed to keep democratic impulses in check. That’s the whole point of the Constitution," Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said in response to the report.
"How does CNN explain the Battle hymn of The REPUBLIC? Or the line: 'And to the REPUBLIC which it stands' in our pledge. Democracy is only a PART of the Republic. We have one man, one vote (democracy) to elect our REPRESENTATIVES, They Represent us to enact laws through the CONSTITUTION which they all swear to PROTECT AND DEFEND. Why does the left seem to only care about ‘democracy’. Yes, it is important, but with out the rest of it, democracy becomes mob rule," Glenn Beck noted.
The policy will allow roughly 490,000 spouses of U.S. citizens an opportunity to apply for a 'parole in place' program, which would shield them from deportations and offer them work permitsif they have lived in the country for at least 10 years, according to two of the people briefed.
The program, to be unveiled at a White House event, allows about 490,000 individuals to apply for 'parole in place,' granting work permits and deportation protection if they have lived in the U.S. for at least ten years...
The authority Biden is invoking not only gives deportation protections and work permits, but removes a legal barrier to allow qualifying immigrants to apply for permanent residency and, eventually, U.S. citizenship...
An illegal alien from Guatemala was convicted of heinous sex crimes against a minor in Maryland, but a Baltimore County judge suspended the pedophile's six-year prison sentence, and the so-called "sanctuary city" jailing the Guatemalan freed him in disregard of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainment request.
Now, the deep-blue county is walking back its "sanctuary" policy following widespread backlash...
“It’s interesting to me that here’s the man who owns the largest amount of farmland in the United States, Bill Gates, who now wants to, as he said, do something to cows so that they either don’t burp or fart as much, or we’ll just get off meat all together,” Rubin says.
“Either way, I sense he’s going to profit a lot from one of those things,” he adds
Abolition of slavery in the United States in the Civil War period (the blues and darker greens in the above map occurred before the civil war period):
Exclusion of slavery by Congressional action, 1861
Abolition of slavery by Congressional action, 1862
Emancipation Proclamation as originally issued, January 1, 1863
Subsequent operation of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863
Abolition of slavery by state action during the Civil War
Operation of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1864
Operation of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1865
Thirteenth Amendment to the US constitution, December 18, 1865
Territory incorporated into the US after the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment
Areas covered by the Emancipation Proclamation are in red. Slave-holding areas not covered are in blue."...On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln announced that the Emancipation Proclamation would go into effect on January 1, 1863, promising freedom to enslaved people in all of the rebellious parts of Southern states of the Confederacy including Texas.[31][32][c][d]
Enforcement of the Proclamation generally relied upon the advance of Union troops.
Texas, as the most remote state of the former Confederacy, had seen an expansion of slavery because the presence of Union troops was low as the American Civil War ended; thus, the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation had been slow and inconsistent there prior to Granger's order.[9]
In all June 19, 1865, was 900 days after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, 71 days after Robert E. Lee surrendered to the Union on April 9, 1865, and 24 days after the disbanding of the Confederate military department covering Texas on May 26, 1865.
The two suspects were both charged with robbery, grand theft auto, possession of a machine gun, possession of a loaded firearm, possession of stolen property, making rapid-fire modifications to a gun, and unlawful possession of an ammo feed device.
This is the second time this month that NYPD officers have been attacked by suspects believed to be migrants from Venezuela.
In the early hours of June 3, a suspect shot an NYPD officer in the chest and another cop in the leg after they attempted to stop his moped in Queens.
1) There seems to be an undisclosed difference between the configuration of the ballots issued to absentee voters and those issued at the polls on election day. Why else would a new ballot be issued to a voter attempting to cast their absentee ballot at the polls on election day? 2) There seems to be an undisclosed reason for defining unique ballot processing requirements for early voting from that of voting on election day. Why would the timing of when someone votes drive the manner in which they vote? CONCLUSION: By differentiating ballot configurations and tabulation processes as specified above, the election system appears to be designed to enable anyone with advance, privileged access to voting systems (e.g. MI SoS Jocelyn Benson, NGO's such as Dominion) to rig the election
A recently discovered Department of Defense memo suggests that the federal government may well have had copies of the documents in Trump’s possession, also raising questions about the need for the raid. The content of those documents has not been disclosed but, critics ask, if Trump was not retaining copies of information that threatened national security, what was the need for an armed raid?
Many on the right see the Mar-a-Lago raid as part of a broader effort by the Department of Justice to intimidate its political enemies.
I watched the viral clip of Barack Obama taking a frozen Joe Biden by the arm and leading him off stage at their star-studded $30 million LA fundraiser, and posted on X what I suspect everyone who watched it was thinking: “So embarrassing. The Democrats can’t let this go on, surely?”...
When the last Democrat to occupy the White House has to literally grab the current one because he notices he’s had yet another “senior moment” and appears to be paralyzed like a statue on stage, it has to be the wake-up call everyone in the party must urgently heed before it’s too late, doesn’t it?
"The district uses the scholarships to train and recruit new 'teacher[s] who look like' certain students, and so the program extends only to members of certain racial minority groups preferred by the district," WILL explained.
"The district’s race-based GYO program violates numerous anti-discrimination prohibitions, including the United States Constitution and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. WILL warns of further action if the district insists on maintaining this unlawful program."
"The current body of evidence indicates that while social media may have benefits for some children and adolescents, there are ample indicators that social media can also have a profound risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents. Yesterday, June 17, Dr. Murthy dropped a bomb: An essay in the New York Times in which he called for government-mandated warning labels on social media, akin to those that a previous Surgeon General called for in 1964, on cigarettes...
