/1🚨EMERGENCY: A migrant crime wave has seized America.
Today, America First Legal, Ken Paxton, and 20 Attorneys General filed an urgent motion in federal court to stop Biden’s secret migrant flights depositing illegals from crime-plagued nations directly into US cities:
/2 On January 5, 2023, President Biden and DHS Secretary Antonio Mayorkas announced the creation of the unprecedented new program to allow 30,000 aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to fly into the country EVERY MONTH.
/3 The program makes use of “parole,” which is a strictly limited authority intended to allow aliens to enter the country without a visa in emergency situations.
/4 Under the Trump administration, it was normal for the parole authority to be used a few dozen times a month.
This new program makes a mockery of the parole authority, using it to create an entirely new parallel immigration system outside the control of Congress.
/5 The program essentially creates a “visa-free” immigration program for aliens from those countries. The program required minimal vetting that is laughably lax. Program participants do not need to have a visa or even have any kind of interview with a U.S. official before being approved for travel to the USA. For example, applicants for immigrant visas are required to undergo a comprehensive medical exam to prevent the transmission of dangerous diseases. Aliens in the parole program don’t have to undergo any kind of exam.
/6 As a federal judge in Texas recently pointed out, applicants to the program are approved at a rate of 97.5%.
Thus, applicants are virtually guaranteed admission to the United States.
/7 The CHNV Program allows for a maximum of 30,000 aliens to use the program each month, and sure enough, the Biden administration has been taking full advantage, allowing close to 30,000 aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to fly into the country EVERY SINGLE MONTH:
/8 Even worse, there is no scheduled end date for the program, and DHS consistently renews the parole status of aliens already in the United States.
So, the program essentially allows these aliens to immigrate permanently.
/9 It gets worse… as the States pointed out in their briefing to the court, aliens in parole status are immediately given work permits and are entitled to basically every kind of welfare benefit after being present for five years. The costs of the program to taxpayers are therefore going to be enormous.
/10 Nationals of these countries have allegedly been involved in heinous crimes in the United States, including rape and murder…keep reading.
/11 Laken Riley, an innocent 22-year-old, was on a jog in Georgia when an illegal alien from Venezuela abducted and brutally murdered her.
/12 A 40-year-old Nicaraguan national, who was previously deported 5x, was charged with brutally raping a disabled woman.
/13 A 26-year-old Haitian man was recently charged with raping a 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts.
/14 Today, we filed a motion asking the court to reconsider its erroneous decision in this critical case. aflegal.org/america-first-…

🚨EXPOSED — New Biden-era DOJ records obtained by AFL reveal former Acting Associate AG Matthew Colangelo’s involvement in lawfare targeting President Trump before joining Alvin Bragg’s prosecution.
The records contradict claims by officials and the media that he was uninvolved.
Matthew Colangelo served as Acting Associate Attorney General and Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General — the third-highest ranking official at DOJ — from January 2021 through November 2022.
Colangelo then resigned to help Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “jump-start” his investigation of President Trump.
Colangelo personally delivered the prosecution’s opening statement.
🚨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.
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.
🧵
Abdul Jalloh:
➡️ From Sierra Leone
➡️ Entered the United States illegally in 2012 under Obama
➡️ Charged with stabbing 41-year-old Stephanie Minter to death on February 23, 2026, at a bus stop
➡️ Previously arrested more than 30 times without being deported
🏛️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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
