Last week, former President Bill Clinton said the quiet part out loud while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris: Georgia nursing student Laken Riley would still be alive today if her alleged illegal immigrant killer had been “properly vetted” by the Biden-Harris administration. He’s right. America was built by immigrants. But the failed immigration policies of this White House are anything but humane to Americans, to legal immigrants, and even to illegal migrants trafficked by cartels. Biden and Harris have opened our borders to terrorism and crime from around the world. A surge in illegal crossings and inadequate vetting has led to a disturbing rise in drug trafficking, human smuggling, and murders, not just in border communities, but even in our most northern states. Here’s the bottom line: the Biden-Harris administration has been derelict in its Constitutional duty to protect American citizens from foreign threats. The following 20 incidents represent just a fraction of the countless examples of open border policies that threaten our homeland security. 1. DHS Finds 400 Migrants Brought by ISIS-Related Smugglers (June 26, 2024): According to three officials, DHS identified over 400 migrants brought to the United States from Central Asia and other places by an ISIS-affiliated network of human smugglers.  Many of them crossed the southern border and were reportedly released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection because they were not on the FBI’s terror watchlist. While 150 of them were arrested on immigration charges, most were not arrested — and the whereabouts of more than 50 others are unknown. 2. Six Suspected Terrorists with ISIS Ties Arrested (June 11, 2024): In a coordinated sting operation, six Russian nationals originally from Tajikistan with suspected ties to ISIS were arrested in Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia after crossing the border. They were apprehended following an FBI tip-off and months of surveillance by a multi-agency Joint Terrorism Task Force. Wiretaps revealed discussions about bombs and growing concerns about their intentions.  Despite initially being released at the southern border with court dates set for next year, their potential ISIS affiliations only emerged later, revealing a dangerous security lapse. 3. Illegal Immigrant Charged in Killing of Maryland Mother (June 15, 2024): Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was arrested for the murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five, whose body was discovered near a hiking trail in August 2023. Martinez-Hernandez, who entered the United States in February 2023, was apprehended in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and charged with first-degree murder and first-degree rape. 4. Migrants Indicted for Attacking NYPD Officers (February 6, 2024): Seven illegal immigrants who attacked two NYPD officers in Times Square on January 27 were indicted by a grand jury.  Five suspects — Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, Wilson Juarez, Kelvin Servita Arocha, Yorman Reveron, and Yohenry Brito — were arrested, while two remained at large. The suspects were caught on video kicking the officers, including in the head. Gomez-Izquiel, Juarez, Arocha, and Reveron were released without bail and were said to be on the run. 5. Lebanese Migrant Admitted Hezbollah Affiliation (March 17, 2024): Basel Bassel Ebbadi was apprehended near El Paso on March 9, 2024, after crossing the southern border illegally. Ebbadi, 22, admitted to being a Hezbollah member with plans to make a bomb and head to New York. He confessed to training with Hezbollah for seven years and serving as an active member for four years, guarding weapons locations. 6. Terrorist Caught at Border Roamed Free for a Year (January 29, 2024): A member of the Somali terror group al-Shabaab, caught illegally crossing the southern border near San Ysidro, California, on March 13, 2023, was released into the United States by authorities and roamed freely for nearly a year before his apprehension. Although an initial screening by the Terrorist Screening Center deemed him a “mismatch,” a re-determination confirmed his al-Shabaab ties. He was later arrested in Minneapolis. 7. Border Patrol Released Suspected Terrorist at Border (May 23, 2022): ICE rearrested a Colombian citizen suspected of terrorism two weeks after his release into the country by Border Patrol agents. Isnardo Garcia-Amado, 35, was apprehended near Yuma, Arizona, on April 18, 2022, and given a GPS monitoring device. He was flagged by the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center as a match on the terror watch list.  ICE received authorization to arrest him on May 4, 2022, and he was subsequently arrested in Florida on May 6. DHS stated that he was detained promptly after receiving additional law enforcement information, but its handling of the situation was criticized as inexcusable. 8. Terror Watchlist Migrant Arrested Before Trump, Biden Visits (March 5, 2024): Border Patrol agents apprehended Carlos Obed Yepez-Bedoya — a Colombian national on the FBI’s terror watchlist — after he illegally crossed the border near Eagle Pass, Texas, on February 21, 2024. This arrest occurred just days before visits from former President Trump and President Biden. Initially detained by the Texas Department of Public Safety as part of Operation Lone Star, Yepez-Bedoya was flagged as a terror organization member. 9. Potential Terrorist Dropped from ATD Program (April 17, 2024): Mohammad Kharwin, an Afghan national on the FBI terrorist watchlist and associated with Hezb-e-Islami (HIG), was arrested in San Antonio after nearly a year in the United States.  He had been enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program but was dropped from monitoring after just over two weeks, spending 10 months unsupervised. Despite his watchlist status, Kharwin was initially treated as a low-threat migrant upon his illegal entry near San Ysidro, California, in March 2023. Re-arrested in February 2024 based on FBI intelligence, ICE prosecutors did not fully disclose classified information about Kharwin during his court appearance. 10. Border Patrol Arrests Afghan on Terror Watchlist (May 14, 2023): An Afghan national on the FBI’s terror watchlist illegally crossed into the United States near Otay Mesa, California, according to multiple CBP sources, before the end of Title 42. The Afghan, identified via fingerprint scan as a match on the Terrorist Screening Database, prompted an FBI investigation. 11. Illegal Immigrant Indicted for Murder of Laken Riley (June 11, 2024): A Georgia grand jury indicted Jose Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, on 10 counts, including malice murder, for killing Augusta University student Laken Riley. The 26-year-old Ibarra is accused of murdering the 22-year-old nursing student while she was jogging on the University of Georgia campus in Athens on February 22. The indictment includes charges of kidnapping with bodily injury and aggravated assault with intent to rape. Ibarra, who crossed the southern border, allegedly killed Riley by blunt-force trauma and asphyxiation. 12. Haitian Immigrant Arrested for the Rape of 15-year-old Girl (March 13, 2024): Cory Alvarez, 26, was arrested and charged with aggravated rape of a child at a Rockland, Massachusetts hotel used to house migrants. According to Alvarez’s defense attorney, he came to the United States from Haiti as part of the migrant system. Police were alerted to the assault by a 911 call from the hotel’s front desk, reporting that a disabled 15-year-old girl who speaks French Creole had been sexually assaulted. The victim told police that Alvarez assaulted her in his room while she sought assistance with an app on her tablet. 13. Illegal Immigrant Charged with Murder of 2-year-old Jeremy Poou-Caceres (February 8, 2024): The Prince George’s County Police Department in Maryland charged 25-year-old Nilson Trejo-Granados with first and second-degree murder on February 8, 2024. Trejo-Granados, an unlawfully present Salvadoran national, had been ordered for removal from the United States by an immigration judge in November 2022. Despite multiple arrests by Montgomery County Police, he was released twice from custody after ICE lodged Immigration Detainers that were not honored by the Montgomery County Detention Center. 14. Minnesota Man Convicted of Beheading Girlfriend (May 11, 2023): Alexis Saborit, an illegal alien from Cuba with a history of violence, was convicted of first-degree murder for the brutal beheading of his girlfriend, America Thayer. Saborit attacked Thayer with an 8-pound dumbbell while they were in a vehicle near downtown Shakopee and then decapitated her with a machete, shocking witnesses who captured the act on video. The couple was en route to Saborit’s court appearance for felony charges related to setting their apartment on fire. Saborit fled the scene, but was arrested shortly after. He has since been found not guilty due to mental illness. 15. Texas Massacre Suspect was Deported Four Times (May 1, 2023): Francisco Oropesa Perez-Torres, the man accused of killing five Honduran immigrant neighbors, including a 9-year-old boy in Cleveland, Texas, had entered the United States illegally and been deported by immigration officials at least four times, according to ICE.  Oropesa, 38, opened fire after being asked to stop shooting his rifle near a neighboring family’s home. Despite being deported twice in 2009 and again in 2012 and  2016, Oropesa repeatedly re-entered the country. Authorities, considering him armed and dangerous, offered an $80,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. 16. Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting Girl in Texas (January 25, 2023): Jose Hernandez, 31, was charged with five counts of indecency with a child. The Waco Police Department began investigating Hernandez after a referral from an outside agency in November 2021. They discovered that Hernandez allegedly sexually assaulted a girl under the age of 12 multiple times between 2018 and 2020 at residences in Waco and Lott, Texas. The sheriff’s office said Hernandez was in the country illegally, and has been deported back to Mexico multiple times. 17. Four Migrants Arrested and Charged with Rape (October 4, 2023): In Colonie, New York, four asylum seekers and an undocumented hotel employee at SureStay Hotel faced serious charges, including assault, robbery, and rape. The incidents, occurring over a six-day span, involved assaults, a knife display during a physical altercation, and a robbery at a nearby store. The undocumented worker stood accused of raping a hotel guest. 18. Brazilian Migrant Set Free Despite ICE Detainer (January 30, 2024): Lucas Vilaca Moreira Fontenelle, a 21-year-old illegal immigrant from Brazil, was released under local sanctuary policies in Massachusetts despite having an assault conviction and an active ICE detainer. Fontenelle, previously convicted of assault with a firearm, was let go by a city jail without notifying federal authorities, only to be accused soon after in an armed robbery at a Milford butcher shop with two other Brazilian nationals, Daniel Generoso and Jonathan Lima de Araujo. 19. Migrant Suspected of Sex Assault on 13-Year-Old Girl in NYC Park (June 18, 2024): An Ecuadorian migrant, who sources believe entered the United States illegally in 2021, was arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in Kissena Park, Queens. The incident occurred in broad daylight, with the suspect using a machete-style blade to hold the girl and a 13-year-old boy at knifepoint before tying their wrists and assaulting the girl. Following the attack, the children ran to their school and alerted staff, prompting a significant police response. The NYPD released images and footage of the suspect, leading to his identification and arrest by residents of a Queens shelter. 20. Illegal Migrant Allegedly Murders Daytona Beach Couple (November 21, 2023): Jean Robert Macean, a 33-year-old Haitian illegal alien, was declared competent to stand trial for the alleged murder of Brenda Aultman, 55, and Terry Aultman, 48, during Daytona Beach’s 2022 Bike Week. Macean faces two counts of first-degree murder for fatally stabbing the couple as they rode home from the event. He apparently posed as an unaccompanied minor and had previous arrests related to drug charges, which were dropped by Florida State Attorney Aramis Ayala. * * * Morgan Ortagus is the Founder of POLARIS National Security and host of “The Morgan Ortagus Show” on SiriusXM.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign boasted a nearly $222 million haul in September, more than three times the money raised by former President Donald Trump’s campaign last month. FEC filings posted on Sunday night showed Harris’ campaign raising $221.8 million in September to the Trump campaign’s $63 million, The Hill reported. The Harris campaign, combined with the Democratic National Committee and the state parties, raised nearly $360 million in September. The Republican National Committee and other Republican-affiliated groups combined with the Trump campaign raised $160 million over the same period, according to the Associated Press. A large percentage of Harris’ September haul — about $82 million — came from glitzy fundraisers her campaign held with celebrities and politicians in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City. The fundraising numbers for the Harris campaign set a new record for the biggest fundraising quarter, as it received $1 billion in the three-month period that ended on September 30. Some of that money, however, was part of President Joe Biden’s war chest before Harris became the de facto nominee in July and inherited tens of millions of dollars from the Biden campaign. The Harris campaign spent more than it took in last month, pouring $270 million into advertisements on TV, radio, billboards, and the internet, the AP reported. In September, the Trump campaign spent around $53 million on media, according to The New York Times. Harris and the groups supporting her said they entered October with $348 million on hand, while Trump and his supporting groups entered the new month with $283 million. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 While the Trump campaign lags far behind Harris and the Democrats’ fundraising, the Republican nominee is benefitting from a campaign push by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and his pro-Trump America PAC. The billionaire appeared with Trump in the former president’s return to Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month and has held his own town hall events in support of Trump and Republicans. Musk’s America PAC is offering $47 a day to anyone who refers a registered swing state voter to sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments, and the billionaire announced during a town hall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday that he will give away $1 million “randomly to people who have signed the petition every day from now until the election.”

CBS News’ “60 Minutes” faced renewed calls to release the full video and transcript of its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris after it released a statement over the weekend defending the way that the interview was edited. The show claimed that former President Donald Trump’s remarks that it had deceptively edited the interview were “false.” “60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes,” the show claimed. “Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response.” The statement claimed that the “portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment.” The statement ended by taking a shot at Trump: “Remember, Mr. Trump pulled out of his interview with 60 Minutes and the vice president participated.” CBS News’ statement further stoked allegations online that “60 Minutes” was hiding something. “@60minutes has now confirmed what we all know: they edited the video,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). “Now release the FULL transcript and video.” Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY) posted on X: “@60Minutes , it’s past time to release the full @KamalaHarris transcript and video.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “Seriously – what are they hiding?” asked SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly. “How bad was it?” “This defensive, shameful statement blames Trump – and all of us – for noticing the edit they made to make Harris look better (or ‘more succinct’ in their framing),” said Steve Krakauer, executive producer of “The Megyn Kelly Show.” “Truly the final nail in the coffin of this news organization’s credibility.” Former CBS News journalist Catherine Herridge posted on X: “This statement is an indicator @CBSNews hasn’t contained the fallout from its Kamala Harris @60Minutes edit.” “Releasing the full unedited transcript is consistent with journalistic transparency and it stands behind the integrity of the entire Kamala Harris edit, not just the clips under scrutiny,” she said. “CBS has the ability to immediately settle these questions and address merits of FCC complaint alleging ‘news distortion.'” “There is ample precedent [sic] @CBSNews for releasing full, unedited transcripts,” she added. The Trump campaign responded to CBS News’ statement by saying that the show “just admitted to doing exactly what President Trump accused them of doing.” “They edited in a different response – from another part of her answer – to make Kamala Harris sound less incoherent than she really was,” they said. “Their statement is not a denial, it is an admission that they did exactly what they were accused of.” “This is another reminder of how hopelessly biased 60 Minutes is, and how correct President Trump was to decline their invitation to be subjected to their fake news hackery,” the statement added. “Release the transcript!” Controversy erupted over the interview when host Bill Whitaker was discussing with Harris the United States’ financial support for Israel in its war against genocidal Islamic terrorists in the region. “But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening,” Whitaker said to Harris. In a promotional clip that was posted by CBS News on October 6, Harris responded to that statement from Whitaker by saying: “The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.” However, when the full interview was broadcast by the network on the following night, that statement from Harris was nowhere to be found. Those words were not included anywhere in the televised report, nor did they appear in the interview when it was posted on YouTube, the interview’s transcript, or the show’s “Overtime” segment. Instead, on television and in the interview posted online, Whitaker’s identical statement that “it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening,” is followed by Harris saying: “We are not gonna stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.” A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes. Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better. A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE. Election Interference.… pic.twitter.com/JRxSda3NeC — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2024

Nathan Wade, the Georgia lawyer tapped to prosecute former President Donald Trump by his onetime lover, Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis, had extensive communications with the Biden-Harris White House, new records show. Wade billed the Fulton County office for hours of meetings with the White House, the congressional January 6 committee, and other D.C. officials, according to records obtained by the House Judiciary Committee and released Monday. The committee released a transcript of an interview with Wade, which was compelled by subpoena, in which he said that Willis was preparing to prosecute Trump even before she took office, and that she put Wade on a “search committee” to find a prosecutor, which ultimately chose him for the job. On May 23, 2022, Wade billed the Fulton office for eight hours of travel and “Conf with White House Counsel.” Wade said he could not remember who from the White House was involved, or even where the meeting took place. On November 18, 2022, he billed eight hours for “Interview with DC/White House,” but under oath claimed he didn’t remember the meeting and couldn’t even say whether it was online or in-person. Between September 7 and September 9, 2022, Wade billed $6,000 to taxpayers for “Witness Interviews; conf call DC; team meeting,” but couldn’t remember what the D.C. meeting entailed. On April 25, 2023, he spent eight hours on “Zoom conf with investigators in other jurisdictions,” but could not remember anything about it. In all, Wade said he couldn’t remember details 58 times. Wade’s memory was famously faulty in Georgia court as witnesses tried to explain the timeline of Willis hiring her secret boyfriend for a job without contradicting each other. In the congressional interview, the evasion and bizarre answers continued. Wade acknowledged meeting with “individuals associated with the January 6th Committee” — a Democrat-run House committee digging up dirt on Trump — several times, but also claimed he did not talk to either members or staff of the committee, instead corresponding with lawyers whose names he could not remember, and that he did not know who the lawyers’ client was. Wade billed 24 hours in April 2022 for “Team meeting; conf with Jan 6th; research legal issues to prep [interview]” and eight hours on November 16, 2022 for “Jan 6 meeting and Atty conf.” In Georgia, where proceedings brought by a Trump co-defendant argued that the prosecution was corrupt, Wade provided written answers under oath saying he did not have a relationship with Willis during his marriage to another woman, before admitting on the witness stand that he did. The judge ultimately ruled that either Willis or Wade must be removed from the Trump prosecution to avoid misconduct, and Wade departed. Wade’s congressional testimony raises questions about whether Willis gave him a special prosecutor job knowing he lacked the relevant experience, in order to benefit him as a lover. Wade acknowledged to Congress that he had no relevant experience to be a special prosecutor, and that he took classes to learn how after taking the job. U.S. Marshalls attempting to serve Wade with a subpoena could not locate him for days. Wade claimed he had turned his phone off because he was preparing for a trial, and also because he was on pain medication from hurting his ankle playing basketball.
