The Obama-Biden Policy of "Catch and Release" Is Over as Trump Does Not Release a Single Illegal Alien in May

There have been a couple of illegals released here and there, but you can count them on two hands.

And now: None.

Border Patrol agents didn't release a single migrant into the US last month -- a staggering drop after the Biden administration allowed 64,000 illegal crossers in the country in May 2024, The Post can exclusively reveal.
Agents caught 8,725 migrants crossing illegally at the southern border last month.
That's a 93% decrease from May 2024, when 117,905 were nabbed, according to internal data obtained by The Post.
And acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Pete Flores said it's a result of the Trump administration's tough border policies.
One of the most monumental policy changes made by Trump was the reversal of President Joe Biden's catch-and-release scheme, which resulted in millions of illegal border jumpers being allowed into the US.
"Under the leadership of this administration, CBP has received historic support resulting in another 93% decrease in illegal crossings along the southwest border this month when compared with last year," Flores said in a statement shared with The Post.
...
Border Patrol agents are nearing their goal of gaining full "operational control" of the southern border with the massive drop in illegal crossings, National Border Patrol Council president Paul Perez told The Post last week.

Perez complained that Biden had taken Border Patrol officers off the border, to have them sit at desks and fill out the paperwork for illegal aliens to get their free pass into America.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
ZERO releases of illegal aliens into the US during the month of May by Border Patrol.
Why does this matter? I am not aware of a single illegal alien being arrested for an egregious crime against an American after being caught & released at the border under the new Trump admin in the last 5 months.
Catch and release is over. A complete 180 from what we saw at the border during the Biden admin.

US Attorney Bill Essayli tells insurrectionits, "You spit, we hit."

Rapid Response 47
@RapidResponse47
.@USAttyEssayli details charges against LA rioters, over attempted arson of a police vehicle and assaulting a federal agent:
"As our president said, if you spit, we hit -- and we will hit you with a felony."

He also said that the illegal alien terrorist who threw chunks of concrete down at cops from an overpass will face a minimum of five years in prison, and a maximum of 20.

Texas is taking care of the rioters and border-scoffers:

Hundreds of immigration charges were filed in the Southern District of Texas, including against a woman assaulting and threatening federal agents.
In one week, 332 people were charged; 205 people were charged with illegal entry; 109 with felony illegal reentry after previously being deported. Most arrested have prior felony convictions and charges; 10 cases involve human smuggling.
Among those arrested was Mexican national Maria Isabel Cruz-Salas, living in the border town of San Benito in the Rio Grande Valley. While authorities conducted a worksite enforcement operation at Taqueria El Mante, an ICE Homeland Security Investigations agent attempted to detain her and she kicked him in the face, according to the charges. If convicted, she faces up to eight years in federal prison and up to a $250,000 fine.
In another case, a San Antonio woman, Michelle Lee Varela, was taken into custody after allegedly threatening an ICE-HSI agent while performing his duties. According to the charges, while authorities were conducting an immigration action and requested information from Varela about her husband's status in the U.S., she "allegedly used profanity and said if her husband was taken into custody, she would shoot them."

Wonderful.

And Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy announced a "You break it, you bought it" policy: No DOT funds for any state that doesn't cooperate with ICE, and no funds for repairing federal highways that lawless anarchist state governors allow their antifa street militias to destroy.

The @USDOT will NOT fund rogue state actors who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

And to cities that stand by while rioters destroy transportation infrastructure — don’t expect a red cent from DOT, either. Follow the law, or forfeit the funding. https://t.co/cCRi4ALT23

🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Sean Duffy says sanctuary states will not get “ONE RED CENT” from the federal government to repair infrastructure damage caused by rioters

This comes after rioters were seen destroying roadways and using the concrete to throw at officers

California needs to withhold ALL federal taxes.

I believe it was H.L. Mencken who said: "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."

Were they paying attention on Saturday? There is not a place in this country where they won't find anti-ICE beliefs.

No, not legal. But as long as the Republican congressman are cowering in the corner, they'll get away with it.

SCOTUS would have a hard time with this one. They naturally want to punish liberals. But they also know there were protests in 50 states so you cannot just punish blue states by that logic.

Brilliant! Force the commuters to walk to work and while you're at it, put Whites Only seats on the buses.

It will be raining lawsuits on his head. Stop calling this the United States. The Confederate States is closer under the MAGA regime.

88 > 1) Illegal immigration is a civil crime, like jaywalking (BZZZT its a federal crime)

The smarter ones will argue that being in the country illegally isn't a federal crime. They're baiting you to disagree, at which point they smugly inform you that a visa overstay isn't the same as illegally entering the country. They'll point out a visa overstay has only committed a civil violation.

This argument may be technically correct (I'm not a lawyer), but it's just a tactic to win the debate. They don't care about the myriad other crimes illegals engage in to hide from enforcement agencies.

Sure, in those instances I root for injuries. But I've also seen plenty of those videos where the cop is just trying to do their job and the "auditor" makes a total nuisance of themselves. In those cases, the cops basically plead with them to stop being stupid and eventually are practically forced to arrest them so they will stop obstructing.

Uh, no. A Visa overstay shows prior planning to break our immigration law. They are still in the country illegally, AND you can add a bit of conspiracy on top...

(3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.

By staying past your Visa, on purpose, you have concealed a material fact... as well as committed fraud, and made a false statement to an Agent of the US.

The stupid part of this is they came to the US over 20 years ago on a tourist visa from mexico and just stayed here after the visa expired. At any time before the visa expired they could have applied to become citizens but they chose not to.

Their adult kids who were all born here are now crying and moaning that they will forever be separated from mom and dad if they get deported for being illegal. Tough $hit, go to mexico and visit mom and pop after they get deported.

But, it’s not that easy. You don’t just get a tourist visa come here and apply for citizenship. It’s a multi year process. Even multi decade in some cases. The backlog for Mexicans applying to immigrate legally is something like 17 years IIRC.

Unless they nuke DC, no one will remember whatever it is they clam to have up their sleeve.

All they do is bluster, bluster, bluster, and every time they fail to deliver on their bluster they end up looking foolish and more foolish. It's really weird how they never learn the lesson that's it's a bad idea to make emoty threats.

Back in the day, Bill James used to try to explain park effects, and in those days it was Wrigley in Shitcago and Fenway in Beanietown. Management would think they had more than enough hitting, and not enough pitching, when park effects were causing them to overrate their hitters, and underrate their pitchers.

Then the Rockies came along. And nitwits in Denver thought Dante Bichette and Vinny Castilla were great hitters.

He didn't say they can stay . He directed ICE to concentrate on criminal and non Ag and Hospitality first.

But cops continue to trip the fuck out, get an inch away from the camera and start waving their dicks around. If they would just do their job there would be no controversy or problem. But their egos just can't leave it alone.

Unless it has changed, we are still not in war.

I think you can only apply for an extension of your visa, depending on what type was issued. I don't think there is an extension on the B1/B2 visa, which is visitor/temp business. For the others, they tend to be longer term in the first place, with an expectation of extensions for a specified number of times. The green card, or resident alien card is the first step to becoming a naturalized citizen. Originally, to apply for one you had to return to your nation of birth and wait for an immigrant visa appointment with the US embassy there, but I think that regulation has been ignored for decades.

Whether it's militarily useful (yet) is an open question. Given the way the war is going, I think the play would be to test it where ever they can (i.e. in or under their own territory), claim to be part of the nuclear club and expect Israel and US to back down.

I don't think there's any chance either does, I just think that's the thing that can be done quickly.

The problem is, we've been kicking this can down the road for twenty years, and the odds keep improving that we waited too long.

If instead they put it on a missile, even if it doesn't work, whoever's on the receiving end has a huge mess, radiological and psychological, on their hands.

I had a friend at the US Embassy (then it was tel aviv) during Desert Storm. They were being pummeled by scuds, so had to go down to the bunker in the basement of the embassy, complete with gas masks. One guy brought his labrador, who had nervous gas. The folks could smell it through the gas masks, and one by one left the bunker. My friend said he'd rather take his chances with the scuds.

Traffic stops are somewhere around 60% of police-initiated interaction with the public. They could be MUCH better allocated. And they do see bad things in certain urban areas especially but I would wager most of them don't. So I don't buy the "they see the worst of the worst of humanity" pass for abusing their power or railroading people.

The time to take Iran back. All of us together — Do not be preoccupied about the day after the fall of the Islamic Republic. Iran will not enter a period civil war or Instability, we have a plan for Iran’s future.”

Houston PD until recently had a policy where each of their cops were REQUIRED to conduct at minimum one traffic stop a day.

I don’t buy that either. If only because we are constantly assured that the cops are the ultimate gold standard of professionalism.
