Want more details on exactly how this new Senate border bill facilitates catch-and-release, empowers Biden's bureaucrats, and will lead to EVEN MORE illegal aliens getting asylum/green cards/path to citizenship?

🧵Here are some points about the new "PROVISIONAL NONCUSTODIAL REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS."
If Mayorkas feels like it, he can send an illegal alien encountered at the border to a new "provisional noncustodial removal proceeding." No real criteria, just if the illegal alien "indicates an INTENTION to apply for a protection determination" or "expresses a credible fear." Image
If DHS elects this pathway, the illegal alien SHALL BE RELEASED from custody into the United States and enrolled in an "alternatives to detention" program. Better known to immigration enforcement experts as "alternatives to deportation," because no one ever gets deported in the program.Image
The proceedings are supposed to wrap up, "to the maximum extent practicable," in 90 days. But that's an exception any liberal administration will use in every single case. And mind you, during this time period, the alien(s) are likely relying on taxpayer-funded shelter and services while they are roaming freely throughout the United States.Image
If you're the illegal alien, don't you worry, your interview won't happen in a place where actual law enforcement officers are located: Image
If the alien establishes a "positive protection determination outcome," they are then sent to a "protection merits removal proceeding." Image
If it's negative, then there's a different path (more on that below): Image
If POSITIVE, the alien SHALL get a work permit: Image
And the ultra-liberal USCIS asylum officers get the direct authority to grant asylum, withholding, or CAT: Image
The unlucky few who don't get a positive determination get even more process!

Image
Image
Image
More process! Image
We could go on and on. But in sum here's what you need to know:
- The bill empowers Biden's liberal asylum officers to shortcut any kind of adversarial process and grant illegal aliens asylum. No cross-examination by an ICE attorney, no evaluation by an independent judge, etc.
- The bill mandates catch-and-release for the aliens subjected to these procedures.
- Aliens in these procedures SHALL get work permits. They will also likely get taxpayer-subsidized shelter and services.
- The Biden Administration WILL use the new procedures to advance their policy goals and continue the invasion. They will grant asylum, creating a pathway to a green card and citizenship for countless tens and hundreds of thousands of aliens each year.
- The new channel puts process on top of process, on top of process. End result = NO ONE IN THESE PROCEEDINGS WILL EVER BE DEPORTED.

🚨EXPOSED — Illegal aliens have had free rein in Fairfax, Virginia.

AFL has uncovered documents showing that Fairfax has refused to honor HUNDREDS of ICE detainers on criminal illegal aliens over the past year and a half. Image
Releasing lawbreakers has consequences.

Below are some of the horrible crimes allegedly committed by illegal aliens in Fairfax who should have never been in the country — and who could have been deported if localities worked with ICE.

🏛️VICTORY: This week, SCOTUS issued its landmark decision in Trump v. Slaughter:

Officials who exercise the President’s executive power must be removable by him at will.

Statutory restrictions on the President’s removal of such officers VIOLATE the separation of powers. Image
AFL, alongside co-counsel Mitchell Law PLLC, filed an amicus brief in Slaughter, urging the Court to restore constitutional order by overruling Humphrey’s Executor v. United States (Humphrey’s Executor).
By overruling Humphrey’s Executor, the Court:

➡️Reaffirms the separation of powers
➡️Ends Congress’s unconstitutional interference in executive functions
➡️Returns accountability to the American people

🚨MAJOR VICTORY🚨

AFL and @KenPaxtonTX just secured a federal court order PERMANENTLY ENDING an illegal Biden-era backdoor amnesty program that allowed immigration judges to indefinitely freeze removal proceedings against illegal aliens. Image
Today, AFL and @TXAG filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas challenging the Biden Department of Justice’s “Administrative Closure Rule,” which allowed immigration judges to indefinitely pause immigration court cases against illegal aliens.
@TXAG The same day the lawsuit was filed, the parties reached a settlement, and the court entered a final consent judgment vacating the rule and permanently enjoining its enforcement.

An illegal rule that allowed illegal aliens to remain in the United States indefinitely is now dead.

🚨NEW: Ninth Circuit Grants Preliminary Injunction Blocking California’s Child Transition Secrecy Law

America First Legal and @SchaerrJaffeLlp just secured a huge win for parental rights — vindicating the rights of families fighting against California’s radical attempt to hide children’s “gender transitions” from parents.Image
2/ In City of Huntington Beach v. Newsom, the Ninth Circuit entered a preliminary injunction blocking key provisions of AB 1955.

This law forced schools to keep parents in the dark about their child’s sexual orientation, “gender identity,” or gender expression — unless the child consented. California tried to insert the State between parents and their kids.
3/ The court, reconsidering in light of the Supreme Court’s landmark Mirabelli v. Bonta decision, held that Plaintiff-Parents “very likely have standing” and that parents — not the State — have primary authority over the upbringing and education of their children.

🚨BREAKING — New documents obtained by AFL reveal Biden’s DOJ weaponized federal law enforcement against parents at school board meetings despite warnings from FBI officials and the National Sheriffs’ Association. Image
AFL obtained the documents from the U.S. Department of Justice in its ongoing lawsuit over Attorney General Merrick Garland’s infamous October 4, 2021 memorandum targeting concerned parents at school board meetings.
On October 4, 2021 — the day the memo was released — FBI Deputy Assistant Director Jay Greenberg emailed the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, stating the FBI had “some concern.”

He requested “additional time to engage” before messaging about the infamous memo went out. Image
