Democrats Block Motion to Quickly Deport Illegal Aliens
House Democrats blocked a motion Tuesday that would keep a federal government policy to deport illegal aliens quickly.
Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NM) proposed a motion to block the advancement of the previous question on H. Res. 504. If the House blocked the previous question, the chamber could consider Herrell’s legislation, H.R. 471, the PAUSE Act of 2021. The bill would provide for stringent enforcement of Title 42, a public health order that allows the federal government to quickly expell illegal immigrants who may be spreading communicable diseases. It would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Health and Human Services (HHS) from weakening the implementation of Title 42.
Democrats blocked the motion with 214 votes against Herrell’s motion and 195 votes in favor.
Herrell said on the House floor ahead of the vote that the legislation would help curb the migrant crisis unfolding under President Joe Biden’s administration:
Mr. Speaker, if the previous question is defeated, we will amend the rule to immediately consider my bill HR 471, the PAUSE Act which will preserve and protect Title 42 health restrictions at the border.
The border is in flames. And this crisis is cruel, it’s costly, and it’s cowardice.
Biden’s border crisis is harming my constituents and all Americans. Ranchers cannot let their children play outside for fear of cartel gunmen. In the past, people along the border on the American side in my district have been held at gunpoint, they’ve had vehicles stolen, some have even been kidnapped or worse.
The first duty of a nation is to defend its border and its people. President Biden has been derelict in this duty. Whether it be from the pandemic that continues, or the violent criminals that cross our border in the dark of night.
The migrant crisis has continued to unfold under Biden’s watch. Over the last three months, there have been 170,000 border encounters and over 500,000 illegal alien border crossings.
Herrell’s floor speech follows reports finding that Biden may end Title 42.
The Trump Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implemented the order in March 2020 to discourage illegal immigration during the coronavirus pandemic. Democrats, immigration activists, and human rights groups, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have continued to lobby the Biden administration to eliminate Title 42.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) also spoke in favor of Herrell’s bill:
Think from October to December 2020, in the previous administration there were 185,000 expulsions made under Title 42 which the Gentlelady from New Mexico just discussed. That was 85% of all encounters…
Compare to the Biden administration since relaxing Title 42, not yet eliminating it although that’s allegedly coming, relaxing it, only 64% of encounters were enforced between February to April 2021 leaving 289,000 exceptions under Title 42…
Border patrol is overrun. Our border is wide open between the ports of entry because the border patrol is processing people at border patrol centers in McAllen…
Latin America and the Caribbean have the world’s highest death toll in proportion to population. With 33 million reported infections and a million reported deaths. Brazil leads the region, it leads the world in the daily average number of new infections reported. Colombia’s reporting the highest rate of infection in South America. Guatemala’s at peak. Honduras is at 86% of peak…
“We need to enforce the full Title 42 authority and it’s an imperative for border and public health security and that is why we should defeat the previous question,” Roy added.

McCaskill: Americans Will Reject GOP’s ‘Darkness,’ White Supremacy — Optimistic Dems Win Senate in 2022
Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that she was optimistic the Democratic Party would retain control of the Senate in the 2022 midterm elections because American voters will reject the Republican Party’s “darkness” and “white supremacy.”
McCaskill said, “If someone would have told me when I came to the United States Senate in 2007 that in a mere short 15 years that the Republican Party’s big tent would be catering to Holocaust deniers, Nazi sympathizers, White supremacists, I would have said, you know that is not a realistic plot for a movie that is not going to happen. There are too many Republicans that would stand up for what is right and good in this country. The fact that they are not shows you how far they have fallen. I don’t think they are going to come back until they suffer even bigger defeats down the road.”
She continued, “They are going to go too far, and there will be ramifications.”
McCaskill added, “Interesting polling out of Arizona since we are talking about elections and politics. First, this recount in Arizona is not popular. The majority thinks this is a silly partisan exercise. Second, Kyrsten Sinema is more popular in Arizona than Joe Biden right now. That should tell you that there is a middle still in America right now. That middle is going to reject this darkness and this White supremacy and this Nazi sympathizers. They are going to reject it. They may win primaries in red places. In states like Wisconsin, they are not going to win general elections. In states like Arizona, they are not going to win general elections. We will see what redistricting does to the House, but I am very optimistic about the Senate right now.”

Poll: 40% of San Francisco Residents Plan to Move Due to Homeless and Crime
A poll released from the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce shows residents are contemplating moving out of the city due to the rise in crime and homelessness plaguing the city.
According to the poll, more than 40 percent of the respondents said they plan to move out of the city in the next few years.
Lindsay Stevens, who lived in San Francisco for 12 years until last weekend, told CBS San Francisco that, “There’s nothing worse than seeing such a beautiful place in such disarray.” Stevens added, “I really thought I was going to be sad when the movers loaded up the last container on Saturday, and I have never been more relieved.”
The poll also found that an overwhelming amount (80 percent) of the respondents said crime in the city has worsened over the recent years. Additionally, the poll shows that 70 percent of the respondents said their quality of life has declined, and 88 percent said homelessness has also gotten worse.
Minku Lee, a San Francisco resident, said he was “racially and physically attacked by a homeless man” who also used racial slurs against him. Lee added that the homeless person “forcibly pushed me over, slash tripped me,” and he is “really startled by the incident.”
More so, 82 percent of the respondents polled from the survey also said they would “like to see more caseworkers on the streets to help people with mental illness and substance use problems,” with nearly 75 percent saying they support having a more temporary shelter for the homeless population that plagues the city.
The poll was released by the SF Chamber of Commerce, which is based on the feedback they received from over 500 registered voters in San Francisco.

Prosecutorial Indiscretion
Progressive district attorneys decline to pursue certain offenses, usurping the legislative role.June 22, 2021Baltimore is not prosecuting shoplifting or drug-possession crimes. Despite recent violent protests and occupations, St. Louis is not pursuing cases for looting and rioting, while Portland isn’t pursuing charges for trespassing. Philadelphia won’t allow prostitution charges. San Francisco is not prosecuting indecent exposure offenses. Chicago declines arrests for thefts of less than $1,000. Did a sudden decision from the Supreme Court invalidate these crimes? Are the police on strike? Are the prosecutors’ offices short-staffed? No: each office is not prosecuting these cases based on the discretion of the city’s chief prosecutor. Unfortunately, these officials misinterpret, misunderstand, and misapply the legal concept of prosecutorial discretion.
Prosecutorial discretion historically has been defined as a case-by-case judgment about whether to charge someone with a crime and whether to permit a plea bargain to some agreed-upon sentence or take the case to trial. The discretion is exercised based on consideration of the facts of the case, the characteristics of the defendant, and factors related to the victim. For instance, in an aggravated assault by shooting case, the prosecutor might consider how many shots were fired, the distance between the defendant and the victim, the victim’s preferences for charges and case disposition, whether the victim did anything to provoke the defendant, the defendant’s prior convictions for similar conduct, the strength of the evidence, a defendant’s confession, a defendant’s remorse, mental health issues, and other factors. It requires a fact-intensive, case-specific analysis.
Prosecutorial discretion does not grant prosecutors unfettered authority to negate the legislative process by simply declaring that an entire class of crimes will go unpunished. Prosecutors have not been granted a line-item veto to go through their respective criminal codes and simply cross out the laws that they personally don’t like. Enacting or repealing criminal laws is a legislative task conducted by elected officials. Prosecutors, like police, take an oath and have a duty to enforce the law as written by the legislature and approved by the executive.
Los Angeles district attorney George Gascón has been a leader in disguising the flouting of his duty as prosecutorial discretion. On taking office, Gascón informed his line prosecutors that they would no longer be allowed to prosecute such offenses as drug possession, trespassing, resisting arrest, public intoxication, driving without a license, and other misdemeanors in current California law. Gascón also told his team that they were not allowed to pursue sentencing enhancements in felony cases for gun possession, gang crimes, and “three strikes” offenses for violent criminals.
The experienced line prosecutors working in Los Angeles responded by suing Gascón. The assistant district attorneys pointed out that the duties that Gascon was ordering be ignored are mandated by California law. “The touchstone of prosecutorial discretion is the exercise of case-by-case discretion, which [Gascón’s] special directives expressly, intentionally and undisputedly prohibit,” the lawyer for the line prosecutors stated. “Those directives are thus unlawful.” A Los Angeles court agreed, ruling that Gascón could not order his prosecutors to ignore California laws based upon his own whims. Gascón has vowed to appeal. (Tellingly, Gascón himself has never served as a line prosecutor, where he would have been required to step into the courtroom on cases.)
Gascón is part of the new wave of progressive prosecutors who intentionally distort the concept of prosecutorial discretion. These officials campaigned on a platform of not enforcing the law, without regard to the case-by-case analysis required by the traditional notion of discretion. They act in effect as a super-legislature, bypassing the checks and balances imposed on lawmaking bodies.
This unchecked interpretation of prosecutorial discretion can lead nowhere good. What if a prosecutor declines to pursue rape offenses where the victim and offender are married or in a relationship? Or to ignore child abuse cases? Or hate crimes? Or theft cases where the victim has a net worth of more than $1 million? Or shooting cases where the victim and offender are of different races?
Criminal laws exist for a reason. Prosecutors exist to enforce those laws. Those interested in changing the criminal laws in their state or locality should run for the legislature, not for district attorney. Blanket decisions by prosecutors to invalidate duly enacted criminal laws sets a dangerous precedent.
