/1🚨VICTORY🚨

The Biden Admin will dissolve & disband its unlawful DHS Intelligence Experts Group stacked with deep state partisans like James Clapper and John Brennan following our lawsuit with @RichardGrenell

They are also turning over their internal docs to our possession: Image
/2 DHS formed this so-called “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group” in September 2023, in its own words, “to provide advice and perspectives on intelligence and national security efforts.” Image
/3 However, it was not actually intended to provide unbiased, expert advice to advance the Department of Homeland Security’s mission; instead, it was a completely partisan group designed to provide top cover for the Department’s radical agenda under the leadership of Secretary Mayorkas…
/4 Members of this radical committee include:

🚨John Brennan and James Clapper are two of the leaders in the “Letter of 51” who used their “intelligence credentials” to mislead the American public on the veracity of the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election. They stated that it had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” despite the FBI having validated its authenticity the prior year.Image
/5 🚨Francis Taylor, a former Obama Official who has made at least 650 political contributions, totaling over $32,000, all of which have gone to the Democrat Party or Democrat candidates for office.
/6 🚨Asha George, Rajesh De, Caryn Wagner, and Elisa Massimino, who have made a combined 179 political contributions totaling $60,000 given exclusively to Democrat candidates for political office.
/7 In fact, of the combined political contributions of those named to the group, over 98% went to Democrats. Just 1% went to Republican candidates for office.
/8 Immediately after DHS formed the Group in September 2023, @SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD sent a letter to Secretary Mayorkas demanding “DHS immediately rescind the appointments of these known purveyors of disinformation to the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group.”Image
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD /9 @SenHawleyPress also sent a letter demanding Secretary Mayorkas terminate the group “led by at least three individuals who helped suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story preceding the 2020 U.S. presidential election.”
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress /10 In the House of Representatives, @RepPfluger introduced H.R. 5729 to prohibit the use of federal funds in the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group or any other group established to carry out equivalent activities.
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress @RepPfluger /11 This bill followed a letter sent by @RepMarkGreen @RepPfluger in their capacities as Chairmen of the House Committee on Homeland Security @HomelandGOP and the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, respectively.

@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress @RepPfluger @RepMarkGreen @HomelandGOP /12 In November 2023, representing former Ambassador and Acting Director of National Intelligence @RichardGrenell and itself, AFL — in partnership with co-counsel Christopher Mills — sued DHS and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
/13 AFL alleged that the group comprised of partisan actors violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act for various reasons — including its lack of balance, the Biden Administration’s inappropriate influence over it, and its lack of public notice and participation, among other things.
/14 In avoiding further litigation in this case, DHS agreed to:

1️⃣Disband the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group”
2️⃣Provide AFL with access to its records

Accordingly, DHS and AFL agreed to dismiss the case. Image
/15 This is the second illegal FACA that the Biden Administration has agreed to disband following a lawsuit filed by AFL...

Keep reading.
/16 In December 2022, the Department of Education disbanded its illegal Parents Council following legal action brought by AFL on behalf of its clients, Parents Defending Education and Fight for Schools and Families.

🚨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. Image
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. 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.

🧵
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 Image

🏛️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
