NEW: Judicial Watch is covering the caravan crisis from the Guatemalan-Honduran border this week & observed that the popular mainstream media narrative of desperate migrants — many of them women & children seeking a better life — is hardly accurate. (1/8)
jwatch.us/joZn5T
Besides gang members and mobs of young angry men, reports indicate that the Central American caravan that is currently making its way toward the United States from Central America also consists of Africans, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, and Indians. (2/8)
jwatch.us/joZn5T
Guatemalan intelligence officials confirmed that the caravan that originated in the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula includes a multitude of Special Interest Aliens (SIA) from the aforementioned areas as well as other criminal elements & gang members. (3/8)
jwatch.us/joZn5T
There are also large groups of men (some w/ criminal histories) aggressively demanding the U.S. take them in. Near the Guatemalan town of Chiquimula (~35 miles from Honduras), JW encountered a group of ~600 men (aged 17 to about 40) marching north. (4/8)
jwatch.us/joZn5T
All the migrants interviewed by JW repeated the same line when asked who organized the caravan, insisting it was a spontaneous event, though there were clearly organizers shouting instructions in Spanish & putting select persons in front of cameras. (5/8)
jwatch.us/joZn5T
Guatemala is overwhelmed by the sudden onslaught & immigration officials say ~1,700 migrants were returned to Honduras by bus. Per Guatemalan govt sources, the first wave of migrants totaled ~4,000 followed by a second less-organized group of ~2,000. (6/8)
jwatch.us/joZn5T
Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández said in a local newspaper report that leftist interests seeking to destabilize the country are manipulating migrants. He also said women & children are being used without regard to the risks to their lives. (7/8)
jwatch.us/joZn5T
The impoverished Central American nation needs help (logistical, comms, & civil affairs support) to stop the caravans, and Guatemalan Secretary of Strategic Intelligence Mario Duarte said: “There are only so many resources we can dedicate to this.” (8/8)

BREAKING: Judicial Watch signed a settlement agreement with the State of California & the County of L.A. under which they’ll begin the process of removing from voter registration rolls up to 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid. (1/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
This Judicial Watch lawsuit confirmed that Los Angeles County has on its rolls 1.5 million or more potentially ineligible voters. This means over one in every five L.A. County registrations likely belongs to a voter who has moved or is deceased. (2/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
This JW lawsuit related to the National Voter Registration Act also uncovered the stunning fact that neither the State of California nor Los Angeles County had been removing inactive voters from their voter registration rolls for the past 20 years. (3/8)

NEW: JW filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court in an effort to overturn a decision of the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that upheld Utah’s law engineered by GOP legislators to compel GOP members to change how they choose candidates. (1/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
Until 2014, GOP members elected delegates to represent them at the nominating convention, which selected candidates for the general election ballot. But the Utah legislature enacted SB 54, which effectively compels parties to hold primary elections. (2/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
JW President @TomFitton: Republican power-brokers in Utah hate party conventions which they can’t control, so they passed an unconstitutional law to control the party at the expense of grassroots activists. The Supreme Court shouldn’t let this stand. (3/3)

BREAKING: Judicial Watch announced it filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Justice for records of the costs incurred by and for records of the logs maintained by the security detail for Special Counsel Robert Mueller. (1/5)
jwatch.us/EsgPrN
In a related Oct. 2017 lawsuit, DOJ refused to release Mueller’s budget, but later was forced to release details from the redacted Aug. 2nd memo where Deputy AG Rosenstein gave broad authority to Mueller – three months after Mueller’s appointment. (2/5)
jwatch.us/EsgPrN
JW is also pursuing multiple other FOIA lawsuits on the surveillance, unmasking, & illegal leaking that targeted President @realDonaldTrump & associates during the FBI's investigation of potential Russian involvement in 2016’s presidential election. (3/5)

U. S. Mexico should agree to a similar Safe Third Country Agreement like with Canada. I was in Guatemala weeks ago- the second #Caravan came across the Honduran border almost 1500 men - less than 200 women children. Carrying the Honduran flag shouting Trump give us jobs
Some were gang associated w tattoos. They were also being led by organizers. In Pakistan, I remember the IDP camps I visited with displaced families fleeing war - this caravan was not like that at all. Border security is an essential part of protecting our nation. For those who
Disagree a Border Patrol agent told me “sponsor the men at the border for asylum, put up the money and give them a room in your house with your family.” It’s obviously trusting for BP and ICE agents.

💥Caravan Thread💥

10/23/18

Theme of this thread is about the Caravan. First I want to express that Qanons, MAGA & the GOP have zero desire of violence. There will be no civil war.

WE RENOUNCE VIGILANTE VIOLENCE!

1) “You Never Let A Serious Crisis Go To Waste.”

That quote is regurgitated in 2012 by Rahm Emanuel, former Obama White House Chief of Staff. This reflects the thinking of Saul Alinsky, who wrote “Rules for Radicals.”

2) BHO & Emanuel (Chiraq Governor) are Dems and hail from Chiraq. Democrats are going all in on their playbook which is actually Sauls reimagining of Karl Marx and so on. The book Rules for Radicals is a must read. It’s the Democrats Playbook.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."

Interesting polling covering GB, NI & IRL. More evidence of layering of Leave/Remain differences upon existing polarisation within NI.
This is why zero-sum (ie land v. sea #border) #brexit narratives (& poss. outcomes) pose direct risks to peace & the Agmt lordashcroftpolls.com/2018/06/brexit…
I can't help but say, tho, that the phrasing of some of the Qs asked is unfortunate, e.g. on possible 'different status' of NI (ref. customs checks in sea ports) or a hard border risking paramilitary attacks.
This serves to *perpetuate* distortions of sensitive & nuanced matters.
+ as for the statement (for respondents to agree/disagree with) on technological solutions --
"Modern technology would allow any customs checks to be done quickly and easily, so a border would not be damaging or disruptive" --
What purpose/value does this have in an opinion poll?
