The FBI goes after a Democrat who opposes Biden’s border policies
Ask any Democrat or other leftist whether the FBI was corrupt under J. Edgar Hoover and he or she will eagerly agree. Hoover, an ardent Republican, not only used the agency to capture genuine criminals, but he also turned it into a spy agency tracking anyone he thought might be a communist. Now, though, it appears that the FBI, with help from the DOJ, is going Hoover one better, and using all the old powers plus modern technology to investigate and arrest people who fail to support the Biden administration. The FBI’s latest target is Texas Representative Henry Cuellar, a Democrat, who spoke out against Biden’s illegal acts erasing America’s southern border.
It's likely that most Americans, and especially most conservative Americans, had no idea who Henry Cuellar was before Biden entered the White House. However, things changed when Biden issued a series of orders that effectively erased the southern border.
Enrique Roberto “Henry” Cuellar is a Democrat representative for Texas’s 28th District, which just happens to encompass a large population area sitting on the southern border. The towns that are entirely or partially within Cuellar’s district are Converse, Laredo, Rio Grande City, and Universal City. Every one of these towns has been directly and dramatically affected by Biden’s illegal open border policy.
For that reason, Cuellar has been very vocal about opposing Biden’s border policies. Because Democrat-run media outlets (the networks, CNN, MSNBC, the print media, etc.) don’t want to hear a negative word about a project that’s allowed almost 2,000,000 unvetted, unvaccinated, unidentified, and often criminal people from all corners of the earth to flood into America in a single year, the only major media outlet willing to listen to Cuellar has been Fox, where he’s made several appearances. Rather than being a slave to party politics, Cuellar is truly representing his constituents who are being destroyed by Biden’s policies.

Unfortunately, in Biden’s America, if you cross the administration, sooner or later it seems as if the FBI comes a’knockin’. That’s exactly what happened to Cuellar:
Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar's Laredo home and campaign office were the subject of FBI activity Wednesday evening, according to an FBI spokesperson.
"The FBI was present in the vicinity of Windridge Drive and Estate Drive in Laredo conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity," FBI spokesperson Rosanne Hughes told ABC News. "The FBI cannot provide further comment on an ongoing investigation."
Local news reports showed members of the FBI's Evidence Response Team at Cuellar's campaign office as well.
The FBI declined to provide specifics about the investigation. Local news reports say that boxes were seen being taken from the home.
With primaries looming in March, the DOJ’s Department of Public Integrity office has suddenly announced that Cuellar is being probed for campaign finance violations. Do you believe that?
Maybe Cuellar really has engaged in illegal activity. Or maybe Cuellar has joined the ranks of Republicans and conservatives who have taken up all of FBI’s time and energy, to the exclusion of focusing on the Antifa soldiers who waged war against the federal government for months in Portland, or the Antifa and BLM activists who took over part of Seattle and set up an “autonomous” zone, or the myriad Antifa and BLM organizations that have openly called for (and worked toward) the violent overthrow of the American system.
Thanks to Hoover (or maybe it would have happened regardless of Hoover), the FBI was always a politicized organization at the upper echelons. After all, Hoover was known to spy on everyone he categorized as a “communist.” However, the FBI rank-and-file had a reputation for mostly having agents who were straight-shooter, by-the-books types who believed in the rule of law and loved America.
That no longer seems to be the case. The FBI is giving every indication that it’s become the investigative arm of a hyper-partisan Department of Justice that, especially under Merrick Garland, no longer sees America as a level playing field, with the entire nation entitled to Constitutional protections. The events of the last five years have shown us that, if you’re on the conservative side of the political divide, the DOJ and police arm, the FBI, have seemingly abandoned
- the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures;
- the right to have due process of law before being deprived of life, liberty (see, e.g., the January 6 defendants kept in gulag-like circumstances for almost a year), or property (they’re also being bankrupted);
- the right to a speedy trial (see, again the January 6 defendants);
- the right to an impartial jury (an impossibility in D.C.);
- and protection against excessive bail, fines, or cruel and unusual punishment.
Until now, the DOJ was focused on Republicans and conservatives. If Cuellar is the victim of a political persecution rather than a legitimate criminal investigation, it seems that the DOJ and the FBI have widened their definition of what constitutes a threat to Democrat power.
EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Reschenthaler: Biden’s ‘Continued Weakness’ Destabilizes National Security
President Joe Biden’s “weakness” in signaling he would not respond to any “minor” Russian incursion into Ukraine is destabilizing to the world as well as American national security, and emboldens others to do similar acts, according to Pennsylvanian Republican Rep. Guy Reschenthaler.
In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News on Thursday following President Joe Biden’s apparent surrender to a Russian invasion of Ukraine, Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) called out the president’s “continued weakness” and warned of the consequences of such policies.
The congressman began by slamming the president’s credibility to lead the United States.
“Most Americans do not believe [President] Joe Biden is fit to run our country, and during his first year in office, he proved them right time and time again,” he stated.
Reschenthaler, who served in the Navy Judge Advocate General Corps and volunteered for duty in Iraq, then accused the president of far-reaching destabilization.
“Biden’s latest security blunder, signaling he wouldn’t act on a ‘minor incursion’ in Ukraine, further destabilizes Eastern Europe, Asia, and American national security,” he continued.
He then warned that the president’s “continued weakness” would have further dire consequences.
“Biden erased all leverage in negotiations with the Russians by signaling what he would wrongly accept,” he concluded. “Biden’s continued weakness on the international stage gave [Russian President Vladimir] Putin a greenlight on Ukraine and now [Chinese President] Xi Jinping looks on, emboldened, eyeing Taiwan.”
On Wednesday, at a special press conference to mark the first year of his presidency, President Biden appeared to give up the idea of stopping Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine, telling reporters that the U.S. may not aid Ukraine, a longtime ally, in the event of a Russian invasion as long as it is a “minor incursion.”
He did not define the term “minor incursion.”
Biden also predicted that Putin would invade the country and that he could colonize it, but not without significant losses, and insisted Moscow would “be held accountable” but provided no details as to how.
Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 and remains there; Russian troops have already performed incursions into eastern Ukraine.
In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected Biden’s remarks that appeared dismissive of a potential Russian invasion of his country, affirming in a statement to social media, “There are no minor incursions.”
Reschenthaler’s comments come as a majority of respondents to a Politico/Morning Consult poll this week said they believe President Biden was incapable of leading the country.

DOJ: Illegal Alien Stole Disabled U.S. Veteran’s Identity to Get Welfare
An illegal alien has been sentenced after being convicted for stealing a disabled American veteran’s identity to secure public welfare benefits and commit crimes, federal prosecutors reveal.
Late last week, 59-year-old Fernando Arroyo-Alonso, an illegal alien from Mexico, was sentenced to a year and one day in federal prison for stealing the Social Security Number of a disabled United States Armed Forces veteran.
According to prosecutors, Alonso submitted an application in May 2019 to receive Title XVI Supplemental Security Income — cash payments that are reserved for elderly, blind, or disabled Americans — using the veteran’s Social Security Number.
The veteran had been receiving Title XVI Supplemental Security Income and benefits from Veterans Affairs.
Later, prosecutors said Alonso used the veteran’s Social Security Number to secure an Ohio driver’s license, the state where he had been living. The veteran, though, did not reside in Ohio. In addition, Alonso went on to commit crimes under the veteran’s identity.
Prosecutors said Alonso will be deported to Mexico following his prison sentence.
As Breitbart News has long chronicled, Americans are often the victims of identity theft by illegal aliens. A federal audit in 2020 revealed that nearly 400,000 Americans have unknowingly had their identities stolen, typically by illegal aliens, and were never notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
In 2019, federal auditors said they discovered more than 883,000 cases of employment identity theft after reviewing more than a million tax returns. Of those cases, 393,000 identity theft victims were never notified by the IRS, including more than 133,000 children whose parents remain unaware of their child’s stolen identity.
