Border facility, Texas
The Biden Regime is now considering detaining migrant families who cross over the border illegally.
Title 42, a Trump-era policy used by President Trump in 2020 to expel migrants seeking asylum during the Covid pandemic is about to end.
Biden is now reversing course after more than 5 million illegal aliens have crossed the border since he was sworn into office in January 2021.
Open borders advocates are furious because the new measures could effectively disqualify the majority of illegals from seeking asylum.
“Ending the inhumane practice of family detention has been one of the only positive immigration policy decisions of the Biden administration,” said Leecia Welch, a lead lawyer in the case that led to the 1997 Flores settlement, which limits the time children can spend in detention and establishes minimum standards for holding facilities, The New York Times reported.
“It is heartbreaking to hear there could be a return to the Trump-era use of this practice,” she said.
The New York Times reported:
The Biden administration is considering reviving the practice of detaining migrant families who cross the border illegally — the same policy the president shut down over the past two years because he wanted a more humane immigration system, officials familiar with the discussions said Monday.
Although no final decision has been made, the move would be a stark reversal for President Biden, who came into office promising to adopt a more compassionate approach to the border after his predecessor, former President Donald J. Trump, introduced a series of harsh immigration policies.
The Biden administration has largely ended the practice of family detention, instead releasing families into the United States temporarily and using ankle bracelets, traceable cellphones or other methods to keep track of them.
But the administration has turned to more restrictive measures as it struggles to quell a rise in migrants fleeing authoritarian governments and economic ruin in their countries. Officials also fear a surge at the border after May 11, when a public health measure that has allowed authorities to swiftly expel migrants expires.
Mr. Biden’s tough new measures, including a crackdown announced last month that could disqualify a vast majority of migrants from being able to seek asylum at the southern border, have infuriated advocates who say the president is breaking campaign promises and embracing a Trump-era approach to immigration.

Does Jimmy Kimmel’s Friend, Who Had Close Ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Have Anything to Do With Reason He Mocked Aaron Rodgers For Bringing Up Epstein’s Client List?
100 Percent Fed Up reports – Last week, we wrote about how late-night bully Jimmy Kimmel mocked future Hall-of-Famer Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for mentioning that he was awaiting the release of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s client list.
Kimmel began his not-even-remotely-funny monologue on Rodgers by talking about the concerns Americans have with images of unidentified flying objects in the sky that have surfaced on social media. “Needless to say, all this UFO talk has the tin-foil hatters going wild,” Kimmel said, adding, ” including Green Bay ‘whack-packer’ Aaron Rodgers.”
Kimmel showed a short clip of Rodgers’ February 14 appearance on the Pat McAfee Sports talk show, where Aaron Rodgers brought up the Epstein client list. “There’s some files with some names on it that may be getting released soon,” Rodgers explained to the hosts, who seemed to have no clue about what the Green Bay quarterback was talking about.
Watch:Why does @jimmykimmel want Epstein’s client list kept sealed?
pic.twitter.com/H1JrGS9yiy
— @amuse (@amuse) March 3, 2023So, why is Kimmel so worried about Rodgers talking about the release of the Epstein client list?
Could it have anything to do with his good buddy and former Epstein chef?
Adam Perry Lang is a celebrity chef. One of his besties is “comedian” and far-left Late Night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.The two are so close that Kimmel was a partner in Lang’s now-defunct Napa Valley, CA restaurant, APL. The restaurant closed in January 2022 after it was discovered that Lang, who worked as a chef for the billionaire pedophile, took multiple trips on Epstein’s private jet to his pedophile island. In a post on Instagram, Lang blamed the closing on COVID lockdowns.
It has been a true honor to work with such a talented team who were dedicated to giving their all every night to our guests at APL restaurant. I couldn’t have done it without them. Unfortunately, the ongoing challenges with this pandemic have forced me to make the difficult decision to close permanently. I have so much gratitude to my guests and investors for their continuous support. This door may have closed, but I’m looking forward to opening another. Stay tuned…
Lang was staying at Kimmel’s beach house in California in 2019 when he was arrested after he was accused of making a 911 call from inside Kimmel’s home, where he was accused of making criminal threats.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the famous chef and best-selling author Adam Perry Lang’s arrest was based in large part on a 911 recording — in which a man said he was inside Jimmy’s Hermosa Beach rental home with explosives and had assaulted his girlfriend with a high-powered rifle.
Law enforcement sources say cops went to the home of Lang’s estranged wife at around 3 AM Sunday and asked her if she could ID the voice on the call. We’re told she said it could be Adam, and it sounded like him, except for a Canadian phrase the caller used at the end.
According to TMZ – Police helicopters were flying above Kimmel’s beach home, and there was also at least one police-operated drone. We’re told houses adjacent to Kimmel’s corner lot were evacuated as a precaution. Cops tell us they were there for 8 hours before they were able to establish contact with Lang.
Jimmy Kimmel told TMZ he was told by cops it was a swatting incident, but cops later told us they did not believe it was swatting.
Lang was eventually bailed out of jail after his good friend Jimmy Kimmel paid the required $50,000 bail.
In a podcast by Tara Palmer that follows Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre, it was revealed that Lang worked as Epstein’s private chef in the early 2000s and was asked to memorize the favorite foods of Epstein’s regular guests.
Virginia Roberts Guiffre
LA.eater reports – Last year, unsealed court documents showed Lang flew with Epstein in private jets and traveled with the billionaire to various properties in Florida, New Mexico, and the Virgin Islands. At the time, Lang responded by claiming that his role for Epstein was “limited to meal preparation” and that he was “unaware of depraved behavior,” extending “sympathy and admiration for the women who have come forward.”
However, Giuffre’s account in the podcast sheds more light onto Lang’s relationship with Epstein as his private chef. During the episode, Giuffre searches for Lang to ask him to speak up against Epstein, who died by suicide while in custody awaiting trial for sex-trafficking charges.
Lang released a statement to the Broken podcast, saying he never saw any sexual activity or nudity and was unaware of underage girls. Additionally, Lang maintains that he never was told of or saw any depraved acts committed by Epstein.Giuffre specifically reached out to Lang, whom she says had a different position from other staff in Epstein’s hire. Lang not only traveled along with the financier’s various properties, he was asked to memorize the names and food preferences of Epstein’s most honored guests.
Robb Report’s Gregg Morabito unearthed a 2003 profile of Lang in the New York Times where the former chef protégé of Daniel Boulud had returned to New York “fresh from a four-year stint as the personal chef to a billionaire whose identity he will not reveal.” Now, 16 years later, he has revealed it was Epstein.
When Lang was questioned about his relationship with Epstein and his multiple trips to the billionaire’s pedophile island, he insisted he was only working as his chef and claimed he was “unaware of the depraved behavior” that involved underage girls.
Long Island native Adam Perry Lang, whose Hollywood restaurant APL is backed by Jimmy Kimmel and Joel McHale, was named in court filings as being a regular passenger on Epstein’s so-called “Lolita Express” private jet.
“Almost 20 years ago, as a young chef, I was hired to work for Jeffrey Epstein,” Lang explained in a statement to Eater.
“My role was limited to meal preparation. I was unaware of the depraved behavior and have great sympathy and admiration for the brave women who have come forward.”
Court documents named Lang as one of the regular passengers aboard the pervert’s private plane on several occasions in 2000 and 2001 between his homes in Florida, the Virgin Islands, and New Mexico.
We found it curious that Kimmel, whose good friend flew on Epstein’s private jet multiple times and made meals for his guests, would mock Aaron Rodgers for mentioning the release of the Epstein client list—and we’re not the only ones.
Lang and Kimmel
Green Bay Packer teammate David Bakhtiari called Kimmel’s motives for attacking the team’s outspoken quarterback into question, tweeting, “Tell me you’re on the Jeffrey Epstein client list, without telling me you’re on the Jeffrey Epstein client list….”Tell me you’re on the Jeffrey Epstein client list, without telling me you’re on the Jeffrey Epstein client list…. https://t.co/jWkL8LfOMT

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan Subpoenas Would-Be Disinformation Board Czar Nina Jankowicz to Appear For Deposition
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced on Monday he subpoenaed Nina Jankowicz to appear before the Committee for a deposition.
Congressman Jordan said Jankowicz has ignored voluntary requests for a transcribed interview.
“Today, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed Chip Slaven, Viola Garcia, and Nina Jankowicz to appear before the Committee for a deposition. Each official has ignored voluntary requests for a transcribed interview.” the House Judiciary Committee said.
“Chip Slaven, the former Interim Executive Director and CEO of the National School Boards Association (NSBA), and Viola Garcia, the former President of the NSBA, co-signed the September 2021 letter to President Biden requesting federal law enforcement assistance to target parents voicing concerns at local school board meetings. That letter led to an October 4, 2021, memorandum that directed the FBI to establish a “threat tag” to investigate Americans.” the Committee said.
“Nina Jankowicz is the former executive director of the Department of Homeland Security’s now-disbanded Disinformation Governance Board.” the Committee said.
The Biden Regime announced last year it is ‘pausing’ the Department of Homeland Security’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ after conservative media hammered the lunatic chosen to run the Orwellian agency.

SHADOW GOVERNMENT: DOJ Has Secret Domestic Surveillance Program – “Runs Like a Corrupt Government”
Politico reported on Monday that the US Department of Justice has a secret domestic surveillance program that runs like a corrupt government.
Tell us something we don’t know.
Since this is clearly unconstitutional, maybe Republicans could attempt to investigate this program and lock up the culprits? Does that happen in Washington DC anymore? Do the crooks ever serve time – or do they just serve in the FBI, DOJ and on the DC Court of Appeals?
Via Pro-Trump News and Politico
Under the domestic-intelligence program, officials are allowed to seek interviews with just about anyone in the United States. That includes people held in immigrant detention centers, local jails, and federal prison. DHS’s intelligence professionals have to say they’re conducting intelligence interviews, and they have to tell the people they seek to interview that their participation is voluntary. But the fact that they’re allowed to go directly to incarcerated people — circumventing their lawyers — raises important civil liberties concerns, according to legal experts…
…That specific element of the program, which has been in place for years, was paused last year because of internal concerns. DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis, which runs the program, uses it to gather information about threats to the U.S., including transnational drug trafficking and organized crime. But the fact that this low-profile office is collecting intelligence by questioning people in the U.S. is virtually unknown…
…The inner workings of the program — called the “Overt Human Intelligence Collection Program” — are described in the large tranche of internal documents POLITICO reviewed from the Office of Intelligence and Analysis. Those documents and additional interviews revealed widespread internal concerns about legally questionable tactics and political pressure. The documents also show that people working there fear punishment if they speak out about mismanagement and abuses.
How interesting. Politico writes an entire piece on the shadow government and doesn’t even touch on the not-so-secret coup against President Donald Trump?
Maybe because they are part of the cabal?The post SHADOW GOVERNMENT: DOJ Has Secret Domestic Surveillance Program – “Runs Like a Corrupt Government” appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Alleged Antifa Member Arrested on Domestic Terror Charges Related to Violent Attack on Atlanta “Cop City” Is Attorney At Southern Poverty Law Center Where Soros-Tied MI SOS Jocelyn Benson Was Prominent Board Member
100 Percent Fed Up reports – A Southern Poverty Law Center staff attorney, Thomas Jurgens, was arrested in connection to last night’s violent attack on the Atlanta Public Safety training center.
Last night, at around 5:30 PM, an Atlanta public safety training center that was under construction was set on fire. The black-clad terrorists allegedly threw commercial-grade fireworks, Molotov cocktails, large rocks, and bricks at police officers.
This is video of the end of the far-left #Antifa attack near Atlanta. Around a hundred masked militants already escaped on foot after setting a construction site on fire using homemade explosives. The police guarding the area were chased away with pic.twitter.com/AbTu4PweNv… https://t.co/tbYf9sdrvq
— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) March 6, 2023So far, 35 individuals have been detained related to the razing of the police training center nicknamed “Cop City” by radicals. Of the 35 people detained by law enforcement, only two live in GA; the others are from out-of-state or other countries.
At least 23 #StopCopCity suspects were arrested in Atlanta on suspicion of domestic terrorism over the violent ambush on police. Almost all are from out of state. One of the terror suspects is an @splcenter staff attorney & another is a Canadian academic. Story to come. pic.twitter.com/aLmtQolEQq
— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) March 6, 2023The accused perpetrators were dressed in all black, which is commonly worn by Antifa or Black Bloc, two violent domestic terror groups who, in many cases, are given a pass by far-left prosecutors and even Democrat lawmakers who see no reason to push for them to be designated as domestic terrorists.
State Freedom Caucus Director Greg Price broke the news only moments ago in a tweet.
“One of the Antifa members arrested on domestic terrorism charges in Atlanta last night is a staff attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center.” Price tweeted.
In his tweet, Price pointed out the irony of Jurgen’s arrest and domestic terrorist charge, considering how “the FBI has historically used the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a source for who should be considered domestic terrorists.”One of the Antifa members arrested on domestic terrorism charges in Atlanta last night is a staff attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center.

— Greg Price (@greg_price11) March 6, 2023The Southern Poverty Law Center is no stranger to unethical members, some of whom have already been arrested for crimes, and others, like MI SOS Jocelyn Benson, who continues to fight lawsuit after lawsuit for her unethical behavior as well as for breaking the law.
Although she no longer touts her involvement with the SPLC, Michigan’s Soros-tied Democrat SOS Jocelyn Benson, who many consider the dirtiest and most dishonest SOS in America, was a prominent member of the board of directors for the Soros-funded Southern Poverty Law Center for several years.
Jocelyn Benson has been overseeing Michigan’s crooked elections for the past four years. She received donations to her 2022 campaign for re-election from two Soros children as well as the Soros-funded radical MoveOn.org group.
On March 26, 2019, Jocelyn Benson was called out by Daily Signal Editor Tyler O’Neil for her leading role with the hate group. Benson’s SOS Twitter account, which Benson frequently tweets from, responded with a lie: Upon taking office as Michigan Secretary of State, Secretary Benson informed SPLC leadership that she would be stepping down from the board. Her responsibilities in Michigan are her priority and focus.Upon taking office as Michigan Secretary of State, Secretary Benson informed SPLC leadership that she would be stepping down from the board.

According to PJ Media, the SPLC has not reconsidered its “hate group” designation for FRC, and outlets like CNN plastered the SPLC “hate map” online with no caveats.917.

The SPLC hired Michelle Obama’s former chief of staff, Tina Tchen, to perform an investigation of the organization’s workplace culture.

And now, the SPLC can add an accused domestic terrorist to their long list of crooked employees and board members.

Transgender Athlete Wins Case: USA Powerlifting Must Allow Transgender Athletes to Compete in Women’s Division
JayCee Cooper
JayCee Cooper filed a complaint in 2019 with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights alleging a violation of the state’s Human Rights Act after being barred from competing in female competitions. In 2021, in state court, Cooper filed a lawsuit against USA Powerlifting.
Cooper’s involvement in athletics included becoming a junior national champion in curling and a collegiate rower competing as a man.
JayCee Cooper
The court has now ruled in Cooper’s favor. Biological men can now compete against women in the sport.
According to Fox News, “The organization must revise its policy related to those issues within two weeks, meaning trans athletes will be able to compete in the women’s category after previously being banned.”
Cooper shared with KARE11, “I feel mostly relief. I think we needed a win here, and it feels good to get that.”
JayCee Cooper
According to the ruling,“Just as it does not matter that one may be able to purchase a beer at a saloon other than one that refuses service to people of color, it does not matter that Cooper could compete somewhere else or as someone else.”
“The harm is in making a person pretend to be something different, the implicit message being that who they are is less than. That is the very essence of separation and segregation, and it is what the MHRA prohibits.”
Larry Maile, USA Powerlifting president, denounced the decision.
“Our position has been aimed at balancing the needs of cis- and transgender women, whose capacities differ significantly in purely strength sports,” Maile said in a statement.
“We have received a summary judgment decision from the Court finding us liable for discrimination. We respectfully disagree with the Court’s conclusions. We are considering all of our options, including appeal.”
