Jail records obtained by Breitbart shows that Molina-Quinonez is facing two counts of possession of drugs for sale. His bond is set at $200,000. Delgado also faces two drug charges and an additional charge of possession or use of a firearm while engaging in a drug offense. His bond is also set at $200,000. The next court appearance for the two suspected drug traffickers is set for September 28.

The smuggling is managed by Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, who runs the Department of Homeland Security. Much of Mayorkas’ smuggling — including the nighttime flights — has been funded by taxpayer money transferred from various federal programs to contractor-run buses and non-profit shelters. Catholic Charities is one of the leading groups, and it operates bus services from the border to New York.
Phoenix Police Seize Record-Setting One Million Fentanyl Pills
Phoenix police detectives seized approximately one million fentanyl pills in a suburban home. Detectives arrested two suspected drug traffickers and seized a handgun in what they call the largest one-time seizure of fentanyl pills in the department’s history.
Phoenix police officials tweeted photos of fentanyl pills seized while executing a search warrant on a suburban home. The photos show what police described as 950,000 fentanyl pills.
Detectives arrested Francisco Delgado, age 26, and Jose Molina-Quinonez, age 21, during the search of their Avondale, Arizona, home, News12 NBC in Phoenix reported.
Phoenix Police Department Sgt. Brian Bower told KTAR News there were too many pills to count. Instead, the department determined the weight of the pills and estimated the number of pills.
“That matrix came out with it just under 1 million pills,” Bower told the local news outlet.
Bower described how the record-setting seizure came about.
“What really led up to this … massive historic seizure was the fact that we had our detectives with the Drug Enforcement Bureau doing excellent work looking for small-time dealers and it leads to the bigger dealers,” Bower explained.
The process led to gathering enough evidence for a search warrant for the Avondale home.
Detectives said most of the pills were pressed and colored to resemble prescription oxycodone, KTAR stated.

GOP Rep. Palmer: Mayorkas, Biden Impeachments over Border Situation Possible
As the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border appears to worsen and Republicans are poised to take back the House of Representatives, there is some speculation about the possibility of impeachment proceedings aimed at President Joe Biden and other Cabinet officials in his administration. According to Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), the House Republican Policy Committee chairman, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is certainly facing impeachment.
“I will be shocked if Mayorkas is not impeached in the House,” he said. “He won’t be convicted in the Senate because he has failed the most fundamental responsibility officials have in government, and that is to faithfully execute the laws of the United States. And they’re not doing that when it comes to the border.”
“And there’s two kinds of people coming across the border, Jeff,” Palmer continued. “There are people who are coming across because they legitimately want to try to get a better life for their family, and they’re the ones that immediately go to get picked up by the Border Patrol. But those 500,000 who have been reported as got-aways – they’re the drug traffickers, the human traffickers. They may even include terrorists. We know we’ve picked up – I’ve heard anywhere between 66 to 78 known terrorists.”
According to Palmer, the number of uncounted so-called got-aways could be as high as the number of known got-aways.
“They’re the ones that we should be concerned about that I think could be a threat to our national security,” he added. “And they’re already a threat to huge parts of our population in regard to fentanyl overdose deaths and overall drug deaths.”
The Alabama Republican said he expected efforts to impeach Biden but argued time was better spent “lower down the food chain.”
“I anticipate that there will be some article of impeachment introduced on Biden,” Palmer said. “Some people have said that they’ll happen every week. But I think the thing we’ve got to do is we’ve got to look at the people who are carrying out his directives. You start a little bit lower down the food chain to get the real information, the real truth.”

Open Borders: Biden’s White House can’t wash its blood-soaked hands
After a tragic human-smuggling fiasco that left dozens of illegal aliens dead in San Antonio, Joe Biden’s White House is still offering a lot of excuses, but zero solutions.
At least 53 illegal aliens were killed while attempting to make the treacherous journey to the U.S. at the end of last month. The man accused of driving the truck in which they died was allegedly “very high on meth” behind the wheel, and is just one of several to have been arrested so far in connection with this tragedy.
One would think that the discovery of a tractor trailer with 53 dead border-crossers inside it would make the White House rethink its enforcement strategies, but the administration’s response thus far has largely been a mix of deflection and victim-blaming.
In his statement, Biden correctly slammed human smuggling operations for their callous attitude towards human life, but offered no indication that he was planning a course correction away from the anti-enforcement policies that have done so much to empower the human smugglers. For his part, when questioned on the Sunday shows, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appeared to place blame for the tragedy at the feet of the migrants:
“We have said repeatedly and we continue to warn people not to take the dangerous journey,” Mayorkas said. “They put their lives, their life savings, in the hands of these exploitative organizations, these criminal organizations that do not care for their lives and only seek to make a profit.”
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to accept any blame for the tragedy, preposterously claiming that the administration has “closed” the border.
Jean-Pierre’s resort to that boldfaced lie is telling. For it is glaringly obvious to all that this tragedy is an inevitable result of the administration’s drastic and deliberate border stand-down. While administration officials have occasionally told would-be illegal aliens not to make the dangerous and difficult journey to the U.S., their policies have sent exactly the opposite message, and ultimately policies matter more than rhetoric. When the Biden Administration resettles one million illegal aliens into the U.S. in its first year in office, the message sent to would-be migrants is clear: If you survive the treacherous journey to America, the U.S. government will not only allow you to stay in the country, but will actively facilitate your resettlement in the bargain.
The Biden administration has also worked systematically to dismantle successful Trump-era programs, including the Remain-in-Mexico program and the use of Title 42 at the border, both of which had allowed the Trump administration to secure the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time in many decades. One of the first actions Biden took after taking office was to place a 100-day moratorium on deportations, signaling to migrants that if they got into the country illegally, they would not be removed. All of these actions led to a predictable and historic crisis at the border, and empowered the drug cartels and human smuggling operations that are getting Americans and migrants killed at record rates. Under Joe Biden’s leadership, business has never been better for drug cartels and human smugglers.
“The one thing I've learned is secure borders save lives. Unless people cross less, people die. Vulnerable people are putting themselves in the hands of criminal organizations who don't give a damn about” them, Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) Senior Fellow Tom Homan said recently.
During his 2020 presidential campaign, Biden claimed that protecting “migrants” would be his top priority when it came to immigration policy, but his anti-border policies have clearly made them less safe.
During Biden’s first year in office, a record number of illegal border-crossers either died or went missing. During that same time period, fentanyl, the vast majority of which comes to the country through the border, became the leading cause of death among young Americans. These numbers will almost certainly increase as the Biden administration continues to wind down successful Trump-era programs. Then, as now, the blood will be all over this White House’s hands.
Even now, it is beyond clear that anti-border policies kill people, lots of them. The most compassionate immigration policy by far is one that secures the border, but that is also the one policy this administration refuses to consider.
