Just visited the @ICEgov facility run by GEO in Aurora, CO, where last night people who disrespect the USA stormed the facility & took down Old Glory and put up a flag from Mexico. Well - she flies again today. #EndBorderCrisisNow #OldGloryFlies (1/x)
I was given a full tour of the facility. 1200 in detention. 80% from current border surge, heavily from Texas & Arizona... which means interior enforcement is now being harmed. @HouseDemocrats know this and do not care. (2/x)
There are people from 57 countries. Mexico only 29%. 11% from area around India, folks from Middle East, Cuba, Africa, all over... almost all coming thru Mexico. They’ll be here about 55 days on average... #StateOfTheBorder (3/x)
The facilities were clean, gymnasium, television, iPads with access to news from home countries, 3 square meals (I saw them being dished), doctor, nurses, dentist, ping pong... all taxpayer funded. #StateOfTheBorder (4/x)
There is no excuse for the hatred being spewed at these law enforcement personnel, including those contracted. And we have an expression in Texas to any more would be “flag takers” - #COMEANDTAKEIT - The American Flag is going to fly. (5/x)
And a big thank you to the numerous patriotic Americans who came to the facility today to bring an American flag as a gift - and those who are standing watch. #GodBlessAmerica (6/6)

Today, @HouseDemocrats introduced their border supplemental bill in response to the request from @realDonaldTrump & the pressure applied by the @freedomcaucus. We are still reviewing the text of the Senate & House versions. Initial observations: (1/x) #EndBorderCrisisNow
While we all desperately want $ for humanitarian relief, Senate GOP appears to be moving a supplemental that will very likely worsen the crisis, & the House Dems’ version is worse. Both will further incentivize traffickers, cartels, & perpetuate catch & release... (2/x)
The senate and house bills provide little to no funding for additional beds for adults or families. Beds are critical for proper screening, proper care, & proper enforcement to drive down the incentives for future flow. (3/x)

Border Security Thread: I am sick and tired of all the hand-wringers in both parties. First, it was that there was no crisis. Then it was that the drugs only come through ports of entry. Now it’s a “humanitarian crisis” but not a drug crisis, etc.... (1/x)
The fact is that we have an unprecedented flow of human beings that is overwhelming the Border Patrol (@bpunion)... and that it is directly the result of our failure to secure our border for years because idiotic politicians in BOTH parties... (2/x)
...have failed to take it seriously while hiding behind identity politics or the need for cheap labor and false premises like citizenship based on soil... And now cartels & unscrupulous actors are profiting on the trafficking of human beings... (3/x)

Proud to join my colleague, Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) today to introduce legislation asking Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to conduct a review to designate specific Mexican drug cartels Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). 1/x

roy.house.gov/media/press-re…
Cartels are the problem & it’s time we acted like it. So @RepMarkGreen & I asked the Secretary to review possible designation for these cartels:

The Reynosa/Los Metros faction of the Gulf Cartel
The Jalisco New Generation Cartel
The Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas
“These dangerous groups terrorize through fear, intimidation, violence, & murder to control the government and bend society to their will,” Roy said. “It is clear to the men & women of Border Patrol & those on the ground that cartels have operational control of our border”... 3/x

Last night, David self initiated chores, so he got loads of positive reinforcement from dad. He waited up for me to get back from school, tumbling down the stairs, beaming: "mommy! I took the trash out without anybody telling me. I helped Nathan do the dishes"
"Wow! Good job!"
Again, this morning
"I remembered today was trash day & I took out the trash by myself last night, mommy!"
I kept my "you already told me yesterday tho" to myself & said Awesome! You're so responsible! Hi 5! He skipped away, happily. I started to think up new chores for him.
Then I noticed big brother looked kinda moody. You okay?
"yeah" no eye contact, voice kinda low. Of course something's up. A few probing questions later "I feel unappreciated" He'd been watching us get excited about lil brother doing all the things he did on the regular, like oh?

Last night I found myself trapped on a claustrophobic stairwell - masked male activists directly blocking my progress up the stairs, other masked activists behind me. The situation was extremely hostile, and felt briefly very dangerous. I did not know what was going to happen and
feared for my personal safety. I think adrenaline carried me through the rest of the evening and I'm so proud of the successful meeting that we had in spite of it all. But on my way home now with time and space to reflect, I am drained, angry, and upset actually.

All I am is a
woman who wishes to preserve her sex based rights as they exist in law. And for that I am to be terrorised, verbally abused, and put in fear of being assaulted.

By men. Yes I know they have their female supporters, but the people directly blocking my path last night - the ones

At 3:55 PM (EEST), #USA - #France - #UK start their tripple aggression on #Syria|n Arab Republic by launching 103 missiles from sea & air, most of them (71 missiles) were shot down by #Syria|n Arab Air Defense units. (14 April 2018)
One building of 1st official target (map) was hit & damaged by hostile missiles from Triple Aggressors (#USA - #UK - #France).

#Syria|n Arab Air Defense units successfully jammed away hostile missiles from rest of official targets in #Homs countryside. (14 April 2018)
There is no truth to enemy media that claim #Syria|n Republican Guard base (104th or 105th Brigade) on Mt #Qasioun was hit by hostile missiles from Tripple Aggressors (#UK - #USA - #France).

Greetings from #SRG soldiers that confirm everything is fine at that base. #DAMASCUS

(1) I'm usually the holiday season Grinch but I plan to spend the next 62 days in nonstop celebratory mode bc Democrats are GOING DOWN.🥂
(2) This image from December 2016 has aged well. 2017 is proving to be the best year ever for freedom loving people around the world. #USA🇺🇸
(3) Last New Year's Eve there was such a mood of optimism among us... and it turned out to be justified, didn't it? What a time to be alive.
