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.

/1🚨NEW — The Eleventh Circuit should affirm Judge Cannon’s ruling and order the destruction of Volume II of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL investigation into President Trump. Image
/2 AFL’s amicus brief, filed in United States v. Knight First Amendment Institute, argues that because Volume II is the product of an unconstitutional investigation, it is not subject to the Federal Records Act and therefore does not need to be preserved under those provisions.
/3 AFL also argues that even if Volume II is subject to the Federal Records Act, it would still qualify for authorized disposition under the Records Disposal Act, and its disclosure would be prohibited by the Privacy Act of 1974.

/1🚨Fight trans insanity in schools —

AFL has released an updated parental opt-out template letter following SCOTUS’s decision in Mirabelli v. Bonta, reaffirming parents’ constitutional right to direct their children’s upbringing and education. Image
/2 AFL’s updated template letter incorporates the Supreme Court’s ruling in Mirabelli v. Bonta: schools may not facilitate a child’s “gender transition” without parental consent.
/3 Specifically, the revised template enables parents to demand notice and an opportunity to opt out of instruction or activities involving:

➡️ “Gender identity”

➡️ “Gender-affirming care”

➡️ Sexual preferences

➡️ LGBTQ-related matters

/1🚨NEW — AFL has partnered with @JustTheNews to reveal the Biden administration’s SCANDALOUS role in Fani Willis’s prosecution of President Trump in Fulton County, GA.

AFL and Just The News have uncovered more than 8,000 pages of unredacted records from the Fulton County DA.
/2 The documents expose extensive coordination between Willis’s office, the Biden administration’s DOJ, the White House, and Democrats on the J6 Select Committee as they pursued their criminal case against President Trump over challenges to Georgia’s 2020 election results.
/3 The records reveal what appears to be unprecedented federal assistance to a local partisan prosecution:

President Biden personally waived former Trump administration officials’ executive privilege, allowing Fulton prosecutors to interview Trump before a state grand jury. Image

/1🚨ROGUE REDISTRICTING — AFL is urging a federal court in Utah to reject a state judge’s congressional map.

The map was drawn by activists and partisan lawyers at the Elias Law Group and would redistrict about half a million voters from a single county into new districts. Image
/2 Late last year, a state judge ordered Utah’s lieutenant governor to use this new map that would redistrict approximately half a million voters and result in dramatic political point swings.
/3 AFL’s brief argues that this court-imposed congressional map violates federal law, including the U.S. Constitution’s Elections Clause, which requires courts to enforce the last map enacted by the legislature if the current one is unconstitutional.

/1🚨LITIGATION UPDATE — AFL has filed an amended complaint challenging the U.S. Census Bureau’s unlawful use of statistical methods in the 2020 Census.

The Constitution demands a complete and accurate Census.

The American people deserve nothing less. Image
/2 AFL’s complaint, filed in the District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, hones its claims to show that the Census Bureau’s COVID-19 pandemic-related decisions to suspend or alter standard agency procedures crossed the line and caused inaccurate results.
/3 The complaint emphasizes that the most significant COVID-19 pandemic-related change was a sharp increase in the use of imputation — a statistical method that uses someone else’s data to fill in a missing person’s information.

Accurate representation requires an accurate count.

The Trump Administration Wants White Men to Claim Discrimination. This Is What Happens When They Do Image
“Jeff Vaughn says it was a 2022 billboard that convinced him being White and male was becoming a liability.

The then-evening anchor at CBS’s flagship Los Angeles television station remembers seeing an ad for his news program — and realizing it didn’t feature him.”
“It did include all of his co-anchors, none of whom, he says, was a straight White man like him.

‘That was a real gut punch,’ Vaughn, 60, said in an interview.

‘If you take a look at every person that’s on the billboard, it’s somebody that CBS sees as checking the box, whether it’s a woman or a minority or LGBTQ.’”
