Denver spent $138M in two years to rent, lease hotels for homeless and illegals

By Bennito L. Kelty | Westword Since Mayor Mike Johnston took office in July 2023, his administration has spent millions using hotels to address homelessness and an influx of migrants. The city bought hotels and warehouses for housing the homeless before Johnston took office, but his administration opened the coffers even more, relying largely on leftover federal COVID relief dollars. These multimillion-dollar leases and purchases include two hotels bought this year worth a combined $64 million. The hotels were used mostly for Johnston's effort to house 1,000 people before the end of 2023, and are now used to house people in his next phase of combating homelessness, known as All In Mile High.  READ THE FULL STORY AT WESTWORD

Biden-Harris admin shipping migrants to Arizona and Texas to hide border problem before Election Day: ‘It’s about optics’

By Jennie Taer | New York Post With just two weeks until the presidential election, the Biden-Harris administration is working overtime to hide its illegal migrant problem from the public’s view, furious Border Patrol agents say. ICE has been ordered to speed up deportations. And Border Patrol agents are busing and flying migrants from San Diego — where arrivals are still double what they were when President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office, Homeland Security sources told The Post. They’re being sent to border towns in Texas and Arizona, which have far fewer migrants. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Bill Clinton: Laken Riley would still be alive if Biden-Harris Admin vetted immigrants

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist Just when it seemed that Kamala Harris’ campaign woes couldn’t get any worse, former President Bill Clinton admitted that the death of a Georgia girl, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien, is the fault of the Biden-Harris border invasion. The moment came on Sunday when the 42nd president was campaigning for Harris-Walz in Central Georgia and referenced Laken Riley, a 22-year-old University of Georgia nursing student whom Jose Ibarra allegedly murdered earlier this year. As The Federalist reported, Ibarra illegally entered the United States in 2022. In a blow to Harris’ narrative as a “tough on crime” prosecutor who’s serious about border security, the former president acknowledged that Riley would still be alive ha...

J.D. Vance rips ABC’s Martha Raddatz as she downplays Venezuelan gang takeover in Colorado: ‘Do you hear yourself?’

By Ryan King | The New York Post Republican vice presidential hopeful JD Vance went off on ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz Sunday after she tried to fact-check the senator from Ohio about the presence of Venezuelan migrant gangs in Aurora, Colo. Former President Donald Trump, 78, stumped in the Denver suburb Friday and vented that the Tren de Aragua (TdA) crime syndicate had “overrun” the city. “The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes — apartment complexes and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns,” Raddatz, 71, told Vance on ABC’s “This Week.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Tren de Aragua gang member arrested for recruiting at Houston middle school

By Bob Price | Breitbart Texas Department of Public Safety troopers arrested a Venezuelan migrant for allegedly recruiting middle school students into the violent Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang. Texas DPS troopers arrested 32-year-old Jorgenys Robertson Cova in Houston on October 7, Fox 26 Houston reported. The arrest of the Venezuelan migrant who entered the U.S. illegally during the Biden-Harris administration sent shockwaves through the southwest Houston community of Sharpstown. Cova is suspected of recruiting middle school students for the Tren de Aragua gang. Residents of the Sharpstown community, where the schools are located, expressed concern over the growing threat. Janice, a local resident, remarked, “A lot of things have happened that are on the news, so if it’s happeni...

After parade of 43,000 illegals, Denver officials no longer track immigrant arrivals

The last shelter was closed on Oct. 3, Jon Ewing, a Denver Human Services spokesperson, said. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Kamala Harris doubles down on facilitating Biden’s border invasion if elected

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist During a Univision town hall on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down on furthering the ongoing invasion at the U.S. southern border if elected president this November. The moment came when a prospective voter questioned Harris about what she would do to support noncitizens who have resided in the United States “for years.” The Democrat nominee bragged about how “the first” piece of legislation the Biden-Harris administration sent to Congress was a bill that, among many things, sought to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants within the country. Referred to by the White House as the U.S. Citizenship Act, the measure specifically would have allowed foreign nationals residing in the United States prior to Jan. 1, 2021, “to apply for t...

Harris’s media blitz of border security lies and deceit

By Christopher Tremoglie, Commentary  | Washington Examiner Vice President Kamala Harris has kicked up her media appearances over the last few days, and it hasn’t gone well. From television interviews to radio programs to podcasts, the appointed Democratic nominee for president has decided to stop hiding from interviews after early voting has started in the country and with less than a month until Election Day. Yet one thing has remained consistent in her campaign: She continues to ignore, deceive, and lie about her horrific political record — especially on border security and immigration. By every available metric and analysis of Harris’s record on immigration since she has been vice president and border czar, it is abundantly clear she has a horrible record...

In Oklahoma, Afghan plotted Election Day terror attack in U.S. on behalf of ISIS, DOJ says

By Louis Casiano , David Spunt  | Fox News An Afghan citizen living in Oklahoma has been charged with plotting a terror attack on Election Day on behalf of the Islamic State in which he and an underage co-conspirator expected to die as martyrs, the Justice Department said Tuesday.  Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, obtained firearms and ammunition to conduct a violent attack on U.S. soil, as well as taking a number of steps to prepare for the plot, authorities said. He entered the United States on Sept. 9, 2021, weeks after U.S. troops pulled out of Afghanistan, on a special immigrant visa and is currently on parole status pending adjudication of his immigration proceedings. "I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our investigators and law enforcement officers for suc...

Female Tren de Aragua gang member called ‘The Barbie’ is busted for running brutal sex-trafficking ring

By Jennie Taer | New York Post This Barbie is a sex trafficker. A heavily tattooed female Tren de Aragua gang member is accused of running a sex-trafficking operation out of a border town hotel that the gang took over, according to a leaked Border Patrol memo obtained by The Post. At least one victim alleged that Estefania Primera — a Venezuelan illegal migrant who goes by the street name “La Barbie” — drugged her and brought men in to gang-rape her while she was unconscious, court documents said.
