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."
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.
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.
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:
If the alien establishes a "positive protection determination outcome," they are then sent to a "protection merits removal proceeding."
If it's negative, then there's a different path (more on that below):
If POSITIVE, the alien SHALL get a work permit:
And the ultra-liberal USCIS asylum officers get the direct authority to grant asylum, withholding, or CAT:
The unlucky few who don't get a positive determination get even more process!
More process!
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.

AFL filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule Humphrey’s Executor and uphold President Trump’s constitutional authority to direct and remove executive officials.
/2 AFL, in partnership with Mitchell Law PLLC, filed a brief in Trump v. Slaughter, asking the Court to restore the President’s constitutional control of the Executive Branch.
/3 For nearly ninety years, the Court’s 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States (Humphrey’s Executor) has stripped presidents of control over so-called “independent” agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) — allowing unelected bureaucrats to wield executive power without accountability to the American people.
/1🚨VICTORY — AFL just DEFEATED the @ACLU in a landmark immigration enforcement case.
A Pennsylvania court THREW OUT the ACLU’s lawsuit attacking a local sheriff for working with ICE.
Major victory for the rule of law and public safety.
/2 The ACLU and its activist allies sued Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran for partnering with ICE under the 287(g) Program, which allows trained state and local law enforcement officers to assist federal immigration enforcement efforts.
/3 The ACLU’s lawsuit sought to block local law enforcement from helping federal agents remove criminal illegal aliens and keep Americans safe.
AFL and @WallyZimolong defended Sheriff Harran and fought back against the ACLU’s attack on the rule of law.
AFL filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Chairman @Jim_Jordan and 17 members of @JudiciaryGOP.
The brief urges SCOTUS to RESTORE the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment and its limits on U.S. citizenship.
/2 The Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship only to those born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction — meaning total, exclusive allegiance and lawful presence.
Simply living within our borders is not enough.
/3 Allegiance isn’t geography — it’s a bond.
It requires loyalty from the individual and consent from the nation.
When that consent is broken, citizenship cannot be claimed.
AFL has uncovered that MULTIPLE states suing President Trump over his Executive Order on birthright citizenship appear to have NO EVIDENCE to support their claims.
/2 On January 21, 2025, the states of Washington, Oregon, Illinois, and Arizona sued the Trump Administration over Executive Order 14160, which ends birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens.
The states allege the order will cost them money in programs like Medicaid, CHIP, and adoption assistance.
/3 There’s just one problem.
When AFL filed public records requests seeking clarity from these states on their claims — to show ANY DATA linking the order to actual costs — they came up empty-handed.
AFL is fighting for a fair and lawful Census — alleging that the 2020 Census used FLAWED statistical methods that FABRICATED population counts and STOLE representation from the American people.
/2 The U.S. Constitution requires an actual count of every person every ten years.
Federal law explicitly prohibits the use of “statistical sampling” or other methods that risk inaccurate results.
No models.
No estimates.
No statistical tricks.
/3 In 2020, the Census Bureau ignored this mandate.
Instead of counting real people at their real addresses, it used two deeply flawed and unlawful methods:
