Roughly 200,000 Afghans have come to the U.S. since the Taliban seized Kabul in August 2021, including about 10,000 who are now in Greater Houston. Even those with a pathway to U.S. citizenship are worried about their future.
"The Senate finance committee will consider Scott’s nomination on Wednesday. Before the hearing, James Wong, a former deputy assistant commissioner of CBP’s office of internal affairs, wrote to the committee’s top Democrat this week with 'concern' about Scott’s handling of the investigation into the 2010 death of Anastasio Hernández Rojas in San Diego, after he was beaten and tased by CBP agents who were preparing to deport him."
"Rodney Scott, Donald Trump’s nominee to lead Customs and Border Protection (CBP), has been accused by a former top official of orchestrating a 'cover-up' over the death of a man detained while trying to enter the country from Mexico, according to a letter obtained by the Guardian."

THANK YOU #JimmyKimmel.
Last night, Jimmy talked about Stephen Miller going on Fox to BOAST about #DonTheCon #First100Days accomplishments.
Fox introduced him with #polls showing that except for The #Border, #DisasterDon is underwater on EVERY OTHER CAMPAIGN PROMISE. Miller's response? Fire the pollsters.
The WH website produced a list of their top accomplishments (all 7 of them.)
End the war in #Ukraine & lower #inflation? No. Ban paper straws and end production of the penny. #100Days
#FortHuachuca is in #Arizona, where a #military unit known as the Joint Task Force Southern Border has headquarters & is overseeing the military buildup across much of the #border.
The Trump admin has surged thousands of #troops & armored Stryker combat vehicles to the southern border in his goal to obtain “100%” operational control of the boundary w/ #Mexico.
Both #crimes are punishable by a year or less in #prison. But #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth said in a visit to the #border in #NewMexico last week that migrants could face MORE prison time for illegal crossings. Standing…along the border Friday, he held up signs he said were being posted in English & Spanish warning migrants against entering the #MilitaryZone.
The #DOJ began the first #criminal prosecutions of people who *breached* a *newly expanded* #MilitaryZone at the southern #border that is patrolled by #UStroops, threatening people w/additional penalties for crossing the US-Mexico border illegally.

Days after issuing a $3.8B contract to build an immigrant tent detention camp in Fort Bliss, ICE canceled it.
The awarding and cancellation of such a large contract in such a short time is highly unusual in recent years, a ProPublica review found.

Про те, як відсутність кордонів творить дива, навіть економічних кордонів (як, наприклад, в Європі), які зараз відбудовує Трамп, бо не уявляє собі загін овець без паркану
If I were a green card holder returning to the #USA, I would prefer to be refused at the #border and sent back, as happened to this #Australian, than to be allowed in and then put into a detention centre as the Irish mother, 20-year green card holder, in this article.
As her sister said; “She’s afraid that she’s going to get lost in the system. That was the one thing she said to me: ‘Please don’t let me get lost.’”
