Biden didn’t even visit border, canine officer demonstrated how dog can sniff a suitcase

Published

So much for President Joe Biden’s ‘visit’ to the southern border. Media outlets noted it was about time Biden visit the border; the first visit in his entire presidency. However, a “visit” is an overstatement as to what actually occurred. This headline from The Center Square sums it all up:”Biden skips worst homes areas, doesn’t let with media in El Paso stop”.

While President Biden went near the border where a historic number of apprehensions are taking place, he met with only Democratic officials and avoided crucial areas.

“He didn’t visit the downtown area overrun by homeless migrants, meet with local residents impacted by the surge in illegal immigration, make formal remarks or speak with reporters” writes The Center Square.

“After the president arrived at the airport, reporters waited to speak with him and expressed their expectation to hear him give remarks, The Center Square observed. Several reporters continued to ask when the president might speak, expressing consternation about not being sure at what part of his three-hour planned visit they’d be able to ask questions.”

Here are a few additional events that took place during Biden’s blissfully ignorant trip:

The president first visited a Customs and Border Protection processing center at the Bridge of Americas. Reporters waited outside, and again asked when they’d be able to ask the president questions. Biden again made no public remarks and didn’t take questions.

Of this part of the president’s visit, KVIA News 7 reported, “While at the Bridge of the Americas, President Biden watched as a canine officer demonstrated how it could find a suitcase in a trunk. The dog went around the car once and stopped at the trunk.

“The officers pulled out a suitcase and then took out what looked like fruit and a hunk of lunch meat.

“President Biden also saw another demonstration showing how a chocolate lab could find a package of what looks like drugs or money from the backseat of a Chevy pickup.”

Joining the president were Democratic U.S Reps. Veronica Escobar, Henry Cuellar and Vincente Gonzalez, the El Paso mayor and other local officials, and several CBP agents.

None spoke with the media, but Cuellar tweeted he was meeting with the president “to discuss how to bring order to the border and treat migrants with respect as we implement a lawful path for relief.”

Biden lastly visited El Paso’s Migrant Processing Center and again didn’t make public remarks or take questions from the media.

Most notably, reports The Center Square, is that “The president never visited the actual border, where illegal crossings have escalated over the past several months, prompting El Paso’s mayor to declare an emergency and Abbott to deploy the Texas National Guard to El Paso last month.”

Ex-ICE Director Says Trump Deportation Policies Could End Migrant Gang ‘Lawlessness as Quickly as it Began’

Published

Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Ronald Vitiello has said president-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy plans could successfully bring down the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TdA).

Vitiello served as acting director of ICE from June 2018 to April 2019, and told Newsweek that under Trump’s proposed plans the gang could be “dismantled quickly.”

“In the case of Tren de Aragua, they can be dismantled quickly and definitively because their presence in the United States, although dangerous, has just begun,” he continued.

Newsweek reports that TdA is a transnational criminal organization formed in a Venezuelan prison, focuses on human trafficking and other abuses targeting vulnerable migrants.

“They are particularly vulnerable to removal and deportation, and so the United States could end their lawlessness as quickly as it began” said Vitiello who also previously served as the acting deputy commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

TdA has been linked to a string of high-profile crimes, including the murders of nursing student Laken Riley, 22, and Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, as well as taking over a hotel in El Paso.

“We’ve seen deadly examples where illegals who have committed crimes and then went on to do terrible things, as in the case of Laken Reilly near Atlanta, who was killed by an individual from Venezuela who was here illegally and was arrested,” Vitiello said.

TdA is also known as the syndicate of which footage emerged of its armed gang members storming an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado. The gang has been linked to a series of high-profile crimes, including murder, sexual assault, and sex trafficking in the U.S.
