The Biden regime has acknowledged smuggling ‘unauthorized’ migrants into the United States on covert planes.

Immigration attorneys argue that disclosing the locations of these flights may cause national security “vulnerabilities.”

“Customs and Border Protection has refused to disclose information about a program last year secretly chartering flights for thousands of undocumented immigrants from foreign airports directly to U.S. cities,” the Mail reported.

“It means that while record numbers of migrants were flowing over the southern border last year, the Biden White House was also directly transporting them into the country,” the report added.

The use of a cell phone app enabled the nearly unnoticed entry by air of 320,000 foreigners with no legal permission to enter the United States.

It follows a debate over a 2022 transportation program in which the administration utilized taxpayer funds to ferry migrants around the country on nighttime flights.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, Biden’s CBP approved the latest secretive flights that transported hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from foreign countries into at least 43 different American airports from January to December 2023, as revealed in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit first reported by Todd Bensman.

The program was part of Biden’s development of the CBP One app, which began at the start of the year.

Under Biden’s extension, migrants might use the app to petition for asylum from their native nations.

However, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) points out that transporting these migrants directly to the United States is one of the app’s lesser-known functions.

Aliens who are unable to lawfully enter the United States can utilize CBP One to seek for travel authorization and temporary humanitarian release from certain airports.

Under this parole release, migrants can stay in the United States for two years without attaining legal status and yet be eligible for work permission.

The government first stated that it would not identify the airports to which illegal aliens were transferred, claiming a ‘law enforcement exemption’ in its refusal to provide information.

However, new revelations from the CIS complaint indicate that the locations were not disclosed out of fear ‘bad actors’ might cause harm to public safety or create law enforcement vulnerabilities.

Thus, the Department of Homeland Security could be accused of undermining ‘homeland security.’

The Biden administration has been laundering billions in taxpayer funds through Non-Governmental Organizations to facilitate illegal migration into the United States.

The State Department, for example, is offering a “loan” program to any foreigner around the world who desires to travel to the United States, claim without evidence that he or she is a “refugee,” and then resettle in the country — all subsidized by U.S. taxpayers.

As described by the the United States Refugee Admissions Program on its official website, the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Travel Loan Program “helps to provide penalty and interest-free loans to refugees arriving in the United States.”

“Refugees who accept these travel loans are required to sign a promissory note prior to departure, committing themselves to repayment of the debt within a determined period after arrival,” the program description notes.

IOM “arranges travel for refugee using funds furnished by the Department of State and is mandated to subsequently receive refugees’ repayments on behalf of the Department of State,” the website explains. “Repayments made are remitted to a revolving fund created between the Department of State and IOM for use by the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) to defray the cost of future refugee travel.”

“A Travel Loan repayment is initially assigned either to IOM itself or to a resettlement agency,” the website adds.

Devex notes that UN IOM has an annual operating budget of “an estimated $1.4 billion and some 9,000 staff working in over 150 countries worldwide. IOM currently has 165 Member States and a further 8 states holding Observer status.”

The Biden administration is therefore engaging in an extensive human trafficking scheme to use taxpayer dollars to smuggle millions of illegal migrants into the United States.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley intends to stop her presidential campaign following a string of Super Tuesday setbacks.

Former President Donald Trump is now the only major Republican contender left standing, all but ensuring him the party’s nomination and a rematch with President Joe Biden in November.

Haley is slated to speak to the press in Charleston, South Carolina, at 10:00 a.m., although she is not expected to throw her support behind former President Donald Trump.

Nikki Haley was one of the first to announce her 2024 candidacy, and she is now the last to withdraw after more than a year of campaigning.

“America is not past our prime — it’s just that our politicians are past theirs,” Haley told a modest gathering in Charleston, South Carolina, at her campaign’s launch. “We won’t win the 21st century if we keep trusting politicians from the 20th century.”

That theme remained central to her message during the primary, with Haley often telling supporters at rallies that she was running against Trump because the country required a “new generational leader.”

It turns out that leader won’t be Nikki Haley. At least for the foreseeable future.

Despite her well-known name and extensive political experience, which includes two stints as governor of South Carolina and service as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations during Trump’s presidency, Haley began the election as a relative unknown.

She avoided attacking Donald Trump at first, but as billionaire funders sought an anti-Trump rival to emerge in the Republican primary, Haley grew more vocal and drew more funding for her fledgling campaign.

As Super Tuesday loomed and she became the last Trump alternative standing, she positioned herself as someone who can make the GOP more focused on issues than the politics of personality.

“The Republican Party that I’m seeing happen is one that isn’t focused on fiscal discipline, is one that isn’t focused on national security, and is one that’s becoming more about one man instead of about a party” Haley told reporters in Utah days before Super Tuesday.

In the crucial Super Tuesday election slate, Trump won the North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma, Maine, Massachusetts, Arkansas, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, and California primaries. Haley was declared the winner in one tiny state — Vermont.

“They call it Super Tuesday for a reason. This is a big one,” Trump said in a victory speech at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. “There’s never been anything so conclusive.”

"November 5th is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country."

Nikki Haley Cancels All Public Events as the Humiliating Super Tuesday Results Start Coming In

There’s trouble in Harris County. Again.

The Houston-area mega-county’s District Attorney Kim Ogg is the subject of yet another eyebrow-raising incident that illustrates that the constant refrain from the mainstream media that U.S. elections are completely secure is little more than lip service.

“Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg went into Love Park Community Center Tuesday morning to cast a ballot for her own primary race — only to be told someone had already voted in her name, according to spokesperson Michael Kolenc,” the Houston Chronicle reported.

— Houston Chronicle (@HoustonChron) March 5, 2024

The Houston Chronicle provided an “explanation” for the incident.

Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth published a statement on X, previously known as Twitter, stating that voters are asked to check and confirm the information on the iPad screen when they are eligible.

“In this instance, the DA’s partner must not have noticed that the information was not hers, and proceeded to sign in and vote under DA Ogg’s name,” Hudspeth said in a statement. “Clerical errors can occur at the polls. It is the voter’s responsibility to verify that their information in the iPad screen is correct.”

The Houston Chronicle further noted that, “Hudspeth said Ogg’s partner signed her own name as confirmation. The clerk’s office was able to rectify the error and said Ogg has been able to vote since 8:24 a.m. The poll book was corrected so Ogg could cast her ballot.”

District Attorney Kim Ogg is facing a competitive primary against Sean Teare.

After the 2022 midterm elections, Harris County’s election officials once again faced criticism and requests for heightened monitoring over Election Day concerns.

The state’s Republican leadership blasted the county’s struggles to organize a fair and respectable election in a county the size of other states.

“The allegations of election improprieties in our state’s largest county may result from anything ranging from malfeasance to blatant criminal conduct,” Abbott said in a statement Monday. “Voters in Harris County deserve to know what happened. Integrity in the election process is essential. To achieve that standard, a thorough investigation is warranted.”

The governor also called for the involvement of the secretary of state, attorney general and the Texas Rangers in investigating “allegations of improprieties in the way that the 2022 elections were conducted in Harris County.”

The failures spurred the Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg to begin an alleged inquiry into charges of “irregularities with the latest Harris County election that potentially may include criminal conduct.”

Kim Ogg, a Democrat, even requested that the Texas Rangers aid in the probe in an email sent on Monday.

The Harris County GOP party even filed a 22-page lawsuit against the county and its Election Administrator, Clifford Tatum.

“This election was so botched that there’s no way to be confident in the outcomes in the close races,” said Election Lawyer Andy Taylor. “You literally cannot ascertain the winner vs. the loser.”

Nikki Haley Cancels All Public Events as the Humiliating Super Tuesday Results Start Coming In

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has no events scheduled for Super Tuesday as her campaign is now facing insurmountable odds due to a number of unfavorable results.

As reported earlier on The Politics Brief, Haley is projected to lose the purple state primary of Virginia, which was being closely watched as a harbinger of whether she could become competitive.

Instead, Haley is expected to lose the Virginia primary by at least 27 points, according to a New York Times projection. Trump is also out to an impressive early lead in Vermont.

Independent journalist Nick Sortor noted that Haley’s public calendar had been wiped.

🚨 JUST IN: Nikki Haley will NOT be attending any public events tonight, and is back in her home state of South Carolina now.

Her campaign calendar no longer has any future events.

Has she FINALLY accepted defeat?! pic.twitter.com/ma4gDoADiS

— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) March 6, 2024

As reported earlier in the day at Trending Politics, “Nikki Haley has cancelled a number of ad buys and scaled back public appearances as speculation over her potential exit from the race once again rises.”

“There was some reporting over the weekend on Sunday that Nikki Haley may or may not have any ads past yesterday or today. And that she may or may not have any appearances past today, this Monday,” said Fox News host Bill Hemmer before turning to his co-host, Bret Baier.

“Bret, you’ve been following that. Can you confirm any of that?”

“I haven’t talked to anybody on the campaign beyond, you know, some people tied to it tangentially. If that’s the case and holds to be true, that’s very telling,” Baier replied.

“Her only win so far is the D.C. primary, and you look at the map and look at the polls, and it’s tough to see a breakthrough any place on Super Tuesday despite the fact that 11 out of 15 states are open primaries where Democrats and Independents can vote,” Baier continued. “But that’s a telltale sign. We saw that from Ron Desantis, too, after Iowa.”

It appears that Haley has wiped her calendar clean of all public appearances on Super Tuesday, which comes amidst a coming avalanche of Trump primary victories.

Nikki Haley Campaign Suffers Massive Blow as Donald Trump Destroys Her in Purple State

Voters in 15 states, including two powerhouses, California and Texas, will go to the polls today for Super Tuesday, which is expected to set up a White House rematch in November between President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump.

The primary battle will also decide the outlines of House and Senate elections that will shape the legislative branch for the next year.

On Super Tuesday, Donald Trump has already notched a major purple state primary victory: Virginia.

The state race was closely watched to see how close Nikki Haley, the last GOP presidential candidate in the primary race besides Trump, would fare.

To wit: Not good.

The New York Times estimates that Donald Trump will win by 27 points.

However, the largest troves of delegates — 169 in California and 161 in Texas — are practically guaranteed to go to the former president, and Super Tuesday has loomed large for Haley’s funders, who want to see if she has a shot. On Tuesday, more than one-third of all delegates will be allocated, which is insufficient to make Trump the presumptive nominee but enough to make him the prohibitive favorite.

Haley will then have to make a difficult decision: should she drop out and back Trump, drop out and postpone any endorsement, continue in the campaign until her money runs out, or contemplate running as a third party? (She has stated that she will not participate, but the centrist organization No Labels remains hopeful that she may join its ticket.)

After winning the New Hampshire primary in January, Trump criticized Haley’s clothing and chastised her for trying to capitalize on her 43 percent second-place result. He made no mention of Haley following his victory in her home state of South Carolina last month.

Trump has made no secret of his desire to launch a general election campaign against Biden, as well as his frustration with Haley’s obstinate insurgency, which has included harsh criticism of her former boss’s intemperance, age, fealty to the Constitution, and loyalty to veterans and active-duty military personnel.

It could be all-but-over for Haley’s race tonight, even if she refuses to acknowledge it.

Senator Blows Whistle on Biden Admin’s Secretive Meetings with CCP That Threaten National Security

The Department of Energy (DOE) quietly held meetings with members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) , according to a letter penned by Republican Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso.

Barrasso alleges in his letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm that DOE officials met with CCP officials or businesspeople at least four times since October 2023. Barrasso characterized the meetings as a possible national security risk given the CCP’s demonstrated desire to co-opt American scientists and intellectual property for their own benefit, also highlighting the fact that DOE did not publicize the meetings — previously reported only by Chinese media outlets — to the American people.

“I have learned that these meetings went beyond mere diplomatic courtesies. In some instances, they served as forums in which the taxpayer-funded research and development of our national labs was offered up for the benefit of Chinese state-owned enterprises and, by extension, the CCP,” Barrasso wrote. “The fact that DOE engaged in such misguided interactions, especially in light of the People’s Republic of China’s persistent and pervasive theft of the United States’ scientific and intellectual assets, is profoundly alarming. The apparent desire to keep these meetings shielded from the American public’s scrutiny, with coverage found exclusively within Chinese media outlets, raises significant concern about DOE’s transparency and broader collaboration with the CCP.”

Barrasso Letter to DOE by Nick Pope

On October 11, 2023, DOE China Office Director Stephanie Duran met with Sun Ying, the president of a state-owned Chinese construction technology firm, in Beijing, Barrasso alleges in his letter. Duran allegedly offered Sun Ying and her firm, the China Construction Technology Company (CCTC), the support of some of the U.S.’ most advanced national laboratories.

Sun Ying is an “avid” CCP member, having once told a Chinese media outlet that her company has been “thoroughly implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology,” according to Barrasso’s letter.

Duran “introduced the relevant work of the U.S. Department of Energy in energy policy formulation, energy industry management, and technology research and development, and expressed that she would support Lawrence Berkeley and other U.S. national laboratories to carry out technical exchanges and cooperation with China Construction Technology Company in clean energy and carbon emission reduction” during the meeting, according to a Chinese language press release published by CCTC and translated by Barrasso’s team.

Then, on October 16, 2023, Chao Ding — a scientist affiliated with the DOE-backed Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory — visited the Zhengzhou University of Light Industry and offered the school his views on building and developing a new lab at the university, according to Barrasso’s letter. Wu Xuehong, the dean of the university and Chao Ding’s tour guide, is a CCP member and involved in the school’s “support arm” of the United Front Work Department (UFWD), an organ of the CCP that carries out Chinese intelligence and influence operations, according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.

Then-DOE Deputy Assistant Secretary for Carbon Management Noah Deich met with then-Vice Minister of Science and Technology Zhang Guangjun in Beijing on November 13, 2023, according to Barrasso’s letter. The two discussed “relevant science and technology issues.”

Zhang Guangjun is a member of the CCP and affiliated with the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a political advisory group that plays a key role in the CCP’s “united front” work, according to Barrasso’s letter and the The Diplomat. Additionally, Zhang Guangjun was once the vice president of a Chinese university known for obtaining American research and then attempting to find military applications for that information.

Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk also met with Chinese government officials via video on Jan. 12 to launch the so-called “Working Group on Enhancing Climate Action in the 2020s,” according to Barrasso’s letter. The two groups agreed to “maintain close communication, exchange experiences and deepen practical coordination” as outlined in a State Department-negotiated agreement reached in November 2023.

Barrasso asked the DOE to provide details about all official trips to China since President Joe Biden’s inauguration, counterintelligence precautions taken before and during those sojourns and any informal or official agreements reached on those trips. Barrasso also called on the DOE to explain why it did not publicize the various meetings in the American media.

Barrasso ordered the DOE to provide a detailed response to the letter by no later than March 18.

“DOE is openly inviting the compromise of our nation’s taxpayer-funded research, development and technical expertise,” Barrasso’s letter concludes. “This is a dangerous gamble with our future economic and national security that must end immediately.”

Americans Felt Better Under Trump Than Biden, According to Numerous Major Polls

A series of recent polls indicates voters believe they were better off financially and in general under former President Donald Trump’s administration than President Joe Biden’s.

Trump and Biden are likely heading toward a rematch in November, which the former president is currently leading in polls for nationally and in crucial battleground states. Voters appear to be looking back fondly on Trump’s policies as they sour on the Biden administration, according to multiple recent surveys.

“Across the board, people are saying that the country was in better shape under the former President than it is now under the current President. And for that matter, the world was in better shape,” Jon McHenry, a GOP polling analyst, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Voters were not enthused about President Trump personally but I think as they look at unforced errors like the withdrawal in Afghanistan, inflationary spending, and a border policy that effectively invites people to abuse the asylum laws, they don’t see a contest between the two presidencies.

A New York Times/Siena College poll released Sunday found that only 18% of registered voters said Biden’s policies “helped [them] personally,” compared to 40% who said the same of Trump’s. The former president received more support than Biden on the question among key general election voting demographics — women, black voters, Hispanics, independents and 18-to-29-year-olds.

The same survey found the former president leading by five points among registered voters, with roughly 10% of Biden 2020 voters now supporting Trump.

A CBS News/YouGov survey also published on Sunday indicated 46% of registered voters believe Trump’s presidency was “good” and “excellent,” while only 33% said the same of Biden’s. The former president also led Biden in the poll for a potential rematch by four points.

Almost 50% said their “financial situation” over the last several years has gotten “worse” compared to 23% who said it has improved, according to the poll. Only 39% said the national economy is “good” today versus 65% who said it was “good” under the Trump administration.

“America is reliving the Jimmy Carter administration. Inflation is through the roof, American hostages are being held in the Mideast, we’re not respected around the world and voters want their president out of office,” Mark Weaver, veteran Republican strategist, told the DCNF. “When Ronald Reagan on the debate stage asked his countrymen if they were better off now than they were four years ago, the loud answer was ‘no!’ 44 years later, that same question will be answered the same way.”

Another poll released on Sunday and conducted by Fox News found 48% of voters said Biden’s policies have hurt them, while only 32% said Trump’s did. A Wall Street Journal poll published the same day indicated nearly half of voters approve of Trump’s presidency in retrospect, but only 38% approve of Biden’s now.

Voters across seven key battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — said the economy was better at a national, state and local level under the Trump administration than Biden’s by double digit margins, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll released Thursday.

The same survey found 51% of the swing-state voters said their “personal financial situation” was better off under Trump compared to 30% who said the same was true of Biden. Trump led Biden anywhere from two to nine points for head-to-head matchups in each of the seven battleground states, according to the poll.

Trump’s campaign touted his lead in numerous polls, as well as inroads the former president has made with various voting blocs that typically go for Democrats by large margins.

“There are more than 100 polls showing President Trump crushing Joe Biden, including recent polling that has him leading in every key battleground state and winning independents by double digits,” Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for the Trump campaign, told the DCNF in a statement. “Joe Biden no longer has a base as key Democrat constituencies such as African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and women are supporting President Trump because they are sick and tired of Crooked Joe’s record-high inflation, open borders, crime and chaos.”

Trump continues to rack up primary wins against former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and could win all of the 15 states holding nominating contests on Super Tuesday. Haley has only won once against Trump — in the Washington, D.C., primary on Sunday.

The former president is polling two points ahead of Biden nationally in the RealClearPolitics average, and is leading in swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Biden’s campaign did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

House Dems Resurrect Legislation to Remove Donald Trump from 2024 Ballot

The Undemocratic Party got a stinging rebuke from the Supreme Court on Monday, as the coordinated lawfare effort to remove Donald Trump from state ballots was sent down in flames.

The Supreme Court unanimously decided in a rare 9-0 ruling that states do not have the jurisdiction to exclude federal candidates under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. However, the nation’s highest court also decided that the Congress does have authority to decide who can run for the nation’s highest office.

Undeterred, House Democrats have now resurrected legislation to remove Donald Trump from state ballots by labeling him an “insurrectionist.”

“I am working with a number of my colleagues, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA), to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th amendment,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).

Rep. Raskin then claimed that Trump was already impeached by the House for “insurrection.”

“The House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it,” he added. “The question is whether Speaker Mike Johnson would allow us to bring this to the floor of the House.”

However, the process of impeachment in the House of Representatives only submits charges against an office-holder. It is tantamount to an indictment, whereby the accused is innocent until proven guilty. The trial then moves to the Senate, and in Donald Trump’s case, he was acquitted.

This is the Constitutional process for adjudicating high crimes and misdemeanors for a sitting president.

The Congressional effort to eliminate Donald Trump from state ballots by passing legislation to refer to him as an “insurrectionist” is doomed to fail, as one can glean from a cursory analysis of the relevant Constitutional provisions.

Here is the relevant text of the 14th amendment:

“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

One should note that the phrasing of the 14th amendment does not specifically mention the Office of the Presidency; it does, however, mention several other offices. Therefore, we can conclude due to the “savings clause” that the 14th Amendment is not relevant to the presidency. As explained in a Substack post by Great American Mail:

At the outset, it is clear that it does not apply to the office of the President because that office is not named in the opening sentence delineating those offices to which it applies. As one would expect of demagogues, neither Tribe nor Luttig, nor any other legal “scholar” making the argument bother to quote the Amendment itself. By failing to do so, they save themselves of having to grabble with the unassailable argument that no one in 1868 intended to disqualify any Civil War combatant from running and becoming President. One could imagine a myriad of reasons why this office (and the Supreme Court) were excluded, but the reasons are not relevant for our purposes here. In fact, the opening sentence plainly excludes the office of the President.

The House Democrats are thus seeking to violate former President Donald Trump’s executive immunity, place him in double jeopardy, and all while passing an ex post facto law.

This is a lawless party that has no respect for the U.S. Constitution or due process. It will burn America’s institutions to the ground in an effort to take down a single politician — Donald Trump.

‘Laken Riley Act’ is Introduced in Congress. Here is What It Does

Former President Donald Trump applauded the Supreme Court for overturning the Colorado Supreme Court’s rejection of the Republican nominee from the ballot, saying the decision will help to unite the country.

“I think it will go a long way in bringing our country together, which our country needs,” he said at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

“They worked long, they worked hard, and frankly they worked very quickly on something that will be spoken about a hundred years from now and 200 years from now. Extremely important,” he added.

President Trump remarked that the ruling effectively confirmed that courts and state officials cannot remove a candidate from election contests.

“The voters can take the person out of a race very quickly, but a court shouldn’t be doing that,” he said. “I really do believe that will be a unifying factor.”

He cited the numerous attacks on his eligibility to run for the presidency over the last few months.

“While most states were thrilled to have me, there were some that didn’t, and they didn’t want that for political reasons,” he said.

By mid-February, his attorneys had identified 88 challenges in 45 states, despite President Trump’s early primary victories.

The Supreme Court’s judgment, which determined that states do not have the jurisdiction to exclude federal candidates under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, will effectively end the state-by-state disqualification lawsuits.

The top court said that Congress had ultimate jurisdiction, including the right to draft legislation outlining how Section 3 will be implemented.

‘Laken Riley Act’ is Introduced in Congress. Here is What It Does

In reaction to Laken Hope Riley’s terrible murder, a Republican legislator has filed legislation requiring US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to imprison any illegal immigrants accused with theft or burglary.

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) filed the Laken Riley Act on Friday, which would “require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes.”

The bill is dedicated to Laken Riley, a 22-year-old undergraduate nursing student who was recently slain on the University of Georgia campus. Riley died of blunt force trauma.

Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, is the culprit in the brutal crime. He is charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated violence, aggravated assault, false detention, abduction, obstructing a 911 call, and concealing Riley’s death.

ICE has established that Ibarra entered the United States unlawfully in 2022, in El Paso, Texas. He was apprehended by US Customs and Border Protection on September 8, 2022, after unlawfully crossing the southern border.

According to ICE, US border agents released the Venezuelan national awaiting a review of his immigration status.

In August 2023, Ibarra was allegedly detained by New York Police Department officers and charged with endangering a minor under the age of 17 and driving without a license.

According to the New York Post, “Ibarra, 26, was working for DoorDash, Uber Eats, and a local restaurant when he was arrested in August for endangering the welfare of a child, after he was caught in Queens riding a gas-powered moped with Franco’s son on the back, without any head protection or restraint for the child, according to police sources.”

However, the NYPD stated that it had no record of Ibarra’s claimed arrest.

Collins said on Fox News, “The senseless murder of Laken Riley by Jose Ibarra, who had no business being in this country, was another wakeup call as Americans experience an illegal alien crime wave because of Joe Biden’s open border and local sanctuary city policies.”

“I wish we could bring Laken back, but we must now turn our focus to ensuring this doesn’t happen to another American,” he said. “That’s why I introduced the Laken Riley Act.”
