New statistics reported Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection show that roughly 1 million migrants have been arrested at the southern border in the last year, the most in over a decade.

@CourthouseNews Starting this week, CBP acting commissioner Mark Morgan also said the Trump admin will begin implementing restrictions on asylum claims at the southern border after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed them to take effect last month.
The policy generally makes people who arrive at the southern border ineligible for asylum unless they first sought asylum in a country they passed through on their way to the United States.
Background on that from my D.C. colleague @ByTimRyan

Today, Fiona Hill, Trump's senior Russia advisor, goes behind closed doors for deposition to committee chairs spearheading the #impeachment inquiry.
Today is also Amb. Gordon Sondland's deadline for requested records re: Ukraine.
Sondland records are due by COB. His testimony for lawmakers is slated for Oct 16.
Then there is Semyon aka Sam Kislin, a longtime Giuliani associate. He is expected to be deposed today too.

BREAKING: A former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst has been charged w/providing journalists top secret & classified national defense info, incl. secrets related to an unnamed foreign country’s weapons systems, prosecutors in VA announced today.
Story to come @CourthouseNews.
@CourthouseNews Henry Frese, 30, was arrested this morning at a DIA facility in Reston, Va., according to the FBI.
According to the indictment, the counter terrorism analyst sometime in mid-April 2018 accessed an intelligence report “unrelated to his job duties”...
that contained the sensitive information about a foreign country’s weapons systems. He accessed it again in late April and then messaged a reporter prosecutors only identified as “Journalist 1.”

Swung by the @Newseum today. The Berlin Wall exhibit sticks with you, as does the memorial exhibit for slain journalists. Very sad to see this necessary space close Dec. 31. Go while you can.
My favorite exhibit was the MASSIVE collection of front pages spanning hundreds of years of major world events. @Newseum

NEW w/@nickmiroff: Trump has told immigration & Army Corps officials to ignore enviro regulations & seize land in rush to build wall, saying he would pardon those who follow. (Asked for comment, a White House official says pardons were joking.) washingtonpost.com/immigration/ta…
@NickMiroff In May 23 Oval meeting, Trump ordered that the wall be painted black. A government analysis reviewed by the Post shows that would cost between $70 and $133 million more. washingtonpost.com/immigration/ta…
@NickMiroff In conference call last week, officials at U.S. Customs& Border Protection told Army Corps engineers that hundreds of miles must be completed before 2020 election. That means regular rules are not being followed on contracting, construction, officials say. washingtonpost.com/immigration/ta…

Our democracy has no more "guardrails"
@brucewilson
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is, literally, holding 3 children, all U.S. citizens, as hostages to get at their non-citizen parents.

This is yet another example of something I've been thinking about in the past several days, which seems to connect...
...various seemingly unrelated immigration/deportation incidents:

- U.S. citizens, children, held as hostages

- Non-citizens, who have served in the U.S. military, and fought in war zones, are deported.

- ICE attempts to deport a U.S. citizen with the "wrong" skin color.
[In the last case, the U.S. citizen had, of course, a birth certificate. ICE didn't care. It was relying on "biometric" data, which is known to be shaky, at best]

In all 3 cases, the measures immigration agencies are taking are truly extreme, and in two cases may be illegal...

Before there was that angry micro fence in El Paso, in November of 2015 Erik Prince, using Frontier Service Group as cover, pitched the idea of armed air tractors/helos, gunned up rat patrol Toyotas and fast boats to capture and put #migrants in camps. theintercept.com/2016/03/24/bla…
"In January, (Erik) Prince returned to Macau and opened an account at the Bank of China, ...It was not a personal account,” said the former U.S. intelligence official “He was doing it for the purpose of ... money laundering on behalf of the Libyans.”
"Prince told colleagues that he received preliminary approval for the border force from a senior Libyan official...The plan called for a series of “border security” bases housing intelligence centers, helicopters, surveillance airplanes, and weaponized vehicles."
