WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 15, 2023) - For the past three years, the Biden administration has asserted that its immigration policies prioritize addressing criminal aliens more effectively than the Trump administration. However, a
Center for Immigration Studies analysis comparing ICE criminal data from fiscal years 2017-2019 to 2021-2023 finds that criminal aliens have been top beneficiaries of the Biden administration’s immigration agenda.
Contrary to the administration’s promises, official data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) show a significant decline in arrests, prosecutions, and removals of criminal aliens under the Biden administration compared to the Trump administration.
The report, authored by Jon Feere, the Center’s Director of Investigations and a former ICE Chief of Staff, reveals alarming statistics:
57 percent decrease in arrests of criminal aliens 68 percent decrease in at-large arrests of criminal aliens 44 percent decrease in detainer requests issued on criminal aliens 67 percent decrease in deportations of criminal aliens 55 percent decrease in immigration-related criminal convictions The report further exposes the impact on public safety by examining total numbers of offences on the records of aliens arrested (many committed more than one crime). The findings: a 63 percent decrease in larceny records, a 57 percent decrease in stolen vehicle records, a 55 percent decrease in burglary records, a 48 percent decrease in assault records, a 47 percent decrease in robbery records, a 34 percent decrease in kidnapping records, and significant decreases in all other criminal record categories reported by ICE.
Notably, compared to the first three years of the Trump administration, the Biden administration’s policies have led to a 56 percent decrease in the total number of criminal offenses on the records of aliens arrested.
Feere states, “The Biden administration’s failed policies have proven that taking large numbers of criminal aliens off our streets requires a robust, broad approach to enforcement. Their gutting of immigration enforcement has been a win for criminal aliens and a disaster for public safety. If Congress wants to put an end to the lawlessness, it must significantly increase resources for interior enforcement and demand that taxpayer funds are spent in a manner that gets results.”
Rep. Mark Green: DHS Chief Mayorkas Has Imported 5 Million Illegal Aliens — Outpacing Annual U.S. Births AP Photo/Alex Brandon/STRINGER/AFP 3:31
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has brought five million illegal aliens to the United States in three years, a foreign population that outpaces the nation’s annual births, Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) says.
Green, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, opened impeachment hearings against Mayorkas on Wednesday. In his opening statements, Green detailed Mayorkas’s expansive Catch and Release network, in which the DHS briefly processes a reported 85 percent of illegal aliens before releasing them into American communities.
“Multiple sources confirmed Secretary Mayorkas admitted that release rates of illegal aliens are currently around 85 percent,” Green said:
All told, DHS numbers indicate that well over three million inadmissible aliens have been released into our country on Secretary Mayorkas’s watch . Factor in the 1.8 million known gotaways , and that’s roughly the population of the state of South Carolina. [Emphasis added]
The figure suggests that Mayorkas has released more illegal aliens into American communities from 2021 through 2023 than the number of babies born annually in the U.S., which is fewer than four million.
The majority of these illegal aliens, released via parole, will end up securing work permits to hold American jobs — a boon for big business, Wall Street, and real estate investors looking to keep wages low by inflating the labor market, add as many residents to the population to drive up housing demand, and increase the supply of consumers to whom they can sell products.
Green also noted that the rate at which the DHS never detains illegal aliens at the southern border has skyrocketed under Mayorkas compared to former President Barack Obama’s leadership:
In Fiscal Year 2013, according to [the] DHS’s own numbers, the Obama administration detained 82 percent of illegal aliens from the moment they were encountered until their case was decided, and another nine percent were held for at least some portion of that time.
In Secretary Mayorkas’ first year on the job, that 82 percent number dropped to just ten percent. Illegal aliens not detained at all jumped from nine percent in FY 2013 to 64 percent in FY 2021 . In a court opinion earlier this year, federal judge Kent Wetherell wrote, ‘The evidence establishes that in late January or early February of 2021, [the] DHS made a discrete change in detention policy from release only if there is a compelling reason to, to release unless there is a compelling reason not to.” [Emphasis added]
On Monday, Mayorkas visited the U.S.-Mexico border, where he called on Congress to approve President Joe Biden’s billions of dollars in supplemental funding to bus and fly more border crossers and illegal aliens into the nation’s interior.
“Some have accused [the] DHS of not enforcing our nation’s laws. This could not be further from the truth,” Mayorkas said.

THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN ALIVE, OR PARTIALLY ALIVE, IS JOE BIDEN!
Border Patrol Union: ‘Here’s a Shocking Bit of News for the Uninformed’
Criminal cartels are running the border – no matter what DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas and his media mouthpieces tell you – and the real truth “would scare the hell out of you America,” the U.S. Border Patrol Union warned Tuesday.
Don’t be fooled: the number of cartel border-crossers didn’t actually decrease when Sec. Mayorkas visited Eagle Pass, Texas on Monday – they simply entered from another part of the state, the Border Patrol Union explains in a social media post :
“Here's a shocking bit of news for the uninformed.
“Mayorkas goes to the border. Cartels magically halve the number of border crossings in that area (Eagle Pass, TX). But the numbers in Tucson magically increase by the same number.
“Criminal cartels run the border, period.”
The mainstream media (MSM) is following instructions from the Biden Administration and lying to the American people, the Border Patrol Union warns in a follow-up post :
“MSM, as always, is lying and covering for Biden. They’re saying border apprehensions have come down. Why? Because they're instructed to say that.
“But compared to January 2022 and January 2023 (both record years) apprehensions are almost identical.
“Don’t believe propagandists.”
The Biden Administration is keeping Americans in the dark about the severity of the border crisis, the Border Patrol Union wrote on Monday.
If they knew the whole truth, it would “scare the hell” out of them, the union wrote, replying to a post by Fox News Correspondent Bill Melugin.
“What Mayorkas is saying here is simply not true,” Melugin wrote, refuting the DHS secretary’s claims that the border is under control, prompting the border agents’ response :
“This Admin won't be forthcoming about what's going on at the border. They only show little pieces of the puzzle to prevent Americans from seeing the entire picture.
“The entire picture would scare the hell out of you America.”
narcomex on, under, over and in america's open and undefended border!
T he Biden administration could prevent most of these deaths by enforcing immigration laws, but they don’t care; they are more interested in admitting people into the U.S. as fast as they can instead of doing their job. The vicious Mexican cartels are thriving in this lawless environment.
Facts don’t care about feelings, but Democrats don’t care about facts
The southern border in the United States is the place that causes half of all migrant deaths in the world, yet most of the media rarely even mentions deaths at the border; remember this September report ?
A report from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) found that the U.S.-Mexico border was “‘he deadliest land route for migrants worldwide on record’ in 2022. IOM’s Missing Migrant Project, which maintains a large database of worldwide migrant deaths, counted 1,457 deaths hemisphere-wide last year, of which 686 occurred on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.
As the organization acknowledges, this is an undercount. On the U.S. side alone, ‘In FY [fiscal year] 2022, more than 890 migrants died attempting to enter the United States between ports of entry across the SWB….’
…
The 890 figure, too, is an undercount, as regional humanitarian groups along the border find a higher count of migrant remains than Border Patrol does in the regions that they cover.
The Biden administration could prevent most of these deaths by enforcing immigration laws, but they don’t care; they are more interested in admitting people into the U.S. as fast as they can instead of doing their job. The vicious Mexican cartels are thriving in this lawless environment.
And, when the media and other Democrats believe they can blame these deaths on a Republican (like Governor Abbott), or anyone else attempting to enforce a border and follow the laws in place, they are anxious to report the story; see below, from CNN :
2 children and a woman drowned in the Rio Grande, authorities say, days after Texas blocked the feds amid migrant crisis
Three migrants, a woman and two children, drowned in the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas – very recently the epicenter of the migrant crisis – just days after state authorities blocked the US Border Patrol from accessing miles of the US-Mexico border in that area, officials said.
‘This is a tragedy, and the State bears responsibility,’ US Rep. Henry Cuellar , a Democrat from Texas, said on X , formerly known as Twitter.
Only deaths that fit the agenda matter.
Most mass shootings are properly reported in the U.S., and the media and other Democrats use the shootings as ammo to further infringe on Americans’ right to self-defense, But, annual deaths at the southern border are as high or higher than the total number of people killed in mass shootings, and yet most of the media shows little interest. From a report by ABC News in December:
There have been more than 632 mass shootings in 2023 so far, which is defined by the Gun Violence Archive as an incident in which four or more victims are shot or killed. These mass shootings have led to 597 deaths
Why don’t the Democrats tell the Biden administration to enforce the border laws, which actually falls under the purview of the executive branch, to prevent many of these migrant deaths? Well, because they don’t actually care.
A lot fewer people died in climate related disasters in the U.S. than die at the southern border, yet they still call “climate change” an existential threat to our survival and seek to destroy entire industries that directly and indirectly employ tens of thousands, and which have sustained millions of lives over the last 160 years. According to federal bureaucrats at the Department of Commerce:
2023 was also deadly, causing at least 492 direct or indirect fatalities—the 8th most [climate] disaster-related fatalities for the contiguous U.S. since 1980.
They pretend they can save these lives by making us drive electric cars that don’t work in the cold , while they won’t even enforce the border laws to save lives.
Here is a sample of how the media is willing to intentionally spread lies to push the Democrat agenda:
Democrats have wanted more illegals to come in so when they got the opportunity to spread lies about border agents being racists, media members enthusiastically complied. They falsely told the public that agents were whipping Haitians. The truth was irrelevant and the media didn’t care that they destroyed agents’ lives and reputation without facts. From a congressional report :
Photographs from the incident were misinterpreted by commentators, reporters and some Democrats as showing the agents whipping migrants. In fact, as the eventual CBP investigation confirmed, the agents were using reins to control their horses, were not carrying whips and did not whip anyone.
The media spread the despicable lie that a white cop shot a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri. The talking point “Hands up don’t shoot” was repeated widely. The purpose of the lie was to gin up racial hate against white cops. How many cops have been injured or killed because of that intentional lie?
The media showed pictures of kids in cages at the border to “prove” that Trump didn’t care about kids and that he was a racist. If the media parrots weren’t so hellbent on destroying Trump in the minds of the public, they would have never shown those pictures, because the images were actually from 2014, during the Obama/Biden years— they built the cages. Of course the media didn’t care about kids in cages when the “compassionate” Obama/Biden administration were running the show.
The media operatives wanted to claim that Trump supporters were racists so they were willing to destroy white Christian boys for the crime of wearing MAGA hats; it’s all a means to an end, which is to promote the Democrat agenda.
The media members reliably spread the lie that Trump supported Nazis and white supremacists, all to gin up animus.
The FBI says there was no insurrection on January 6th, yet the media and other Democrats continue to repeat the lie that Trump caused an insurrection.
The media continually treated everything that Anthony Fauci said as sound science, yet when he admits it wasn’t , they essentially bury the story.
How do you get so many people to hate Jews and root for the destruction of Israel without media accomplices?
How do you get people to show up in Iowa and protest climate change and global warming when it is record cold without constant indoctrination from the media?
Summary: Most of the media has an agenda, and it is to interfere in elections to destroy Republicans and elect Democrats. Do not trust them! Always do your own research and ask questions, because they won’t. They haven’t cared about facts for a long time.

Cartel Gunmen Dump Nine Bodies in Central Mexico, Points to New Turf War

Trump: ‘We Have Wars in Ukraine, Israel, and Yemen’ but Not on Southern Border David Peinado/Anadolu via Getty Images 2:14
Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden for his handling of the Middle East and growing conflict in the region under his watch on Friday, as the former president prepares to run against him in 2024.
“So, let me get this straight. We’re dropping bombs all over the Middle East, AGAIN (where I defeated ISIS!), and our Secretary of Defence, who just went missing for five days, is running the war from his laptop in a hospital room,” Trump posted on Truth Social:
Remember, this is the same gang that ‘surrendered’ in Afghanistan, where no one was held accountable or FIRED. It was the most embarrassing ‘moment’ in the history of the United States. Now we have wars in Ukraine, Israel, and Yemen, but no “war” on our Southern Border. Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Crooked Joe Biden is the worst President in the history of the United States!
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was hospitalized on January 1, stemming from complications from prostate cancer treatment, and has been in the hospital since.
After the Pentagon publicly revealed the hospitalization days later, on January 5, it has come to light that Biden did not know Austin was hospitalized until January 4, and did not know about Austin’s cancer diagnosis until last week. Austin was diagnosed in early December, according to the Pentagon.
WATCH — CNN’s Dr. Reiner: Austin Seems to Have Been “Unstable” and Administration’s Story Makes No Sense:
The Pentagon has not said when Austin might be released from the hospital and claimed his condition was “good.”
During Austin’s hospitalization, the U.S. military conducted strikes on Houthi forces in Yemen, in response to months of drone and missile attacks on U.S. military and commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
Biden said he ordered the strikes, and the Pentagon said Austin was actively engaged in directing and monitoring them from the hospital. The Houthis have said they will retaliate.

Gulf Cartel Continues Migrant Kidnappings in Mexican Border States Breitbart Border / Cartel Chronicles 2:30
The Gulf Cartel continues to operate with complete impunity as they kidnap migrants trying to reach the U.S. border. The kidnappings continued even after Mexico’s President was forced to admit that his government didn’t rescue a group of 32 migrants that cartel gunmen had kidnapped, but in fact, it was the cartel that released them.
Last week, Tamaulipas authorities, with help from Mexican Army soldiers, raided a house in the border city of Reynosa, where they rescued 61 migrants. The migrants were from Guatemala, Ecuador, and El Salvador and were reportedly being kept against their will in a stash house. However, authorities and military forces did not arrest any of the kidnappers who held the migrants against their will.
The rescue of the migrants in Reynosa is tied to the ongoing investigation into a prior kidnapping that became a national scandal in Mexico.
As Breitbart Texas reported, on December 30, a group of Gulf Cartel gunmen in at least five SUVs stopped a passenger bus and kidnapped 32 migrants who were inside. The gunmen were able to leave before law enforcement arrived and moved the migrants to a stash house. They held the migrants hostage for days until they released them. The case became a national scandal after Mexican authorities tried to take credit for the rescue, with federal officials claiming it was the result of a coordinated effort. Days later, Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was forced to state that the cartel had simply released the migrants on their own accord.
After their release, authorities moved the 32 migrants to the border city of Matamoros, where they stayed in some shelters awaiting their appointments with U.S. authorities to make asylum claims.

DHS Secretary Mayorkas Skips House Impeachment Committee, Too Busy to Testify at Hearing Getty Images 5:57
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refused a request from the House Committee on Homeland Security to appear on Thursday to answer questions regarding his handling of the migration crisis along the southwest border. According to a statement by Committee Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN), Mayorkas thumbed his nose at the latest request to appear before the committee, citing commitments to meet with a delegation of Mexican cabinet members next week.
The committee issued a statement critical of the secretary’s refusal of the latest request and previous invitations, providing Mayorkas multiple dates to appear before the members in a historic impeachment hearing. The most recent invitation from Chairman Green was issued on January 5, 2024, requesting Mayorkas’ appearance on January 18, 2024.
The invitation cites the previous declinations to appear by Mayorkas and reads, “I am in receipt of your responses to my August 16, 2023, and September 18, 2023, letters, declining to appear before the Committee on Homeland Security (Committee) to testify exclusively on the unprecedented border security crisis. I am writing again to reiterate my request.”
The letter goes on to clearly state the purpose of the request, adding, “Also, as you are aware, articles for your impeachment were filed in the House of Representatives and were referred to the Committee in November. Accordingly, we have initiated impeachment proceedings, of which your testimony will be a part.”
In a written response to the invitation from the committee reviewed by Breitbart Texas, the Secretary did not offer an alternative time to testify as the committee moves forward with hearing from other witnesses.
“In keeping with the Secretary’s commitment to cooperate with Congressional Committees, he will make himself available to testify before the Committee,” the DHS letter (attached below) states. The secretary did not commit to when that might be. “we look forward to working through the details with Committee staff and agreeing upon the date and structure of the hearing,” the letter continued.
The impeachment hearings are scheduled for the week of January 15.
In his statement on Mayorkas’s refusal to attend, Chairman Greene said:
It is deeply troubling that Secretary Mayorkas has refused the Committee’s multiple requests to appear before a co-equal branch of government. For months, we have tried to work with his office to secure his testimony before the Committee so the American people can receive some much-needed transparency about the causes, costs, and consequences of the unprecedented border crisis.
It’s certainly telling that one of the primary excuses Secretary Mayorkas gave us for declining to appear next week is that he must host a delegation of Mexican officials. Yet again, this Secretary is putting the interests of Mexico ahead of the American people. Apparently, he needs to be reminded that Congress is a co-equal branch of government, and our Committee, not Mexico, has oversight over his department.
In a letter to the committee declining the invitation, Mayorkas touted his numerous visits to the border, citing his visit to Eagle Pass, Texas , on Monday as an example. The small Texas border town has routinely been the epicenter of the border crisis and has suffered devastating impacts that other cities across the southwest border have experienced during surges in migrant crossings.
In December, DHS closed the border city’s import rail line and one of two official ports of entry connecting the city with Piedras Negras, Mexico. For more than a week, the second busiest rail line for imports within the state of Texas was closed due to a border surge that saw more than 22,000 migrant apprehensions during the third week of December alone.
Although the ports have since reopened, the closures, according to city officials, resulted in the loss of crucial cross-border shopping dollars to merchants on both sides of the border. The city relies heavily on toll fees collected from both international bridges to Mexico, which fund more than 50 percent of the city’s annual budget.
Recently, Committee Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN) joined Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and more than 60 other House Republican colleagues for a border tour in Eagle Pass to see firsthand the aftermath of the surge of migrants across the Rio Grande in recent weeks.
At a press conference after the border tour, Chairman Green told reporters, “The greatest domestic threat to the national security and the safety of the American people is Secretary Alejandra Mayorkas. He, through his policies, has defied and subverted the laws passed by the United States Congress. He has defied multiple court orders. He has lied numerous times to the U.S. Congress. He has, under oath, stated things that were blatantly and obviously incorrect.”
According to Customs and Border Protection, a record of more than 7.3 million migrants were apprehended by the Border Patrol along the southwest border with Mexico under Mayorkas tenure. Mayorkas admitted in a recent news interview that as many as 70 percent have been released to pursue asylum claims in the United States . According to unofficial reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas, more than 1.7 million known got-aways were also recorded during Mayorkas’s time at the helm of DHS.

Cartel Gunmen Dump Nine Bodies in Central Mexico, Points to New Turf War Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles 3:04
Authorities in central Mexico continue to look into the killing of nine men after gunmen dumped their bodies in a rural area. The incident raises concerns over what appears to be the start of a new turf war in the once-peaceful state of Queretaro.
On Tuesday morning, Angel Rangel Nieves, the top police official in the city of San Juan Del Rio, Queretaro, confirmed the discovery of nine bodies that had been dumped in a rural area near an oil distribution line. Mexican military forces checking on the oil lines found the bodies and alerted local police, who in turn called the state attorney general’s office, Rangel said without going into details of the crime scene. Local news reports claim the bodies had been bound, gagged, and shot in the head execution style.
The gory crime scene comes just days after authorities confirmed the discovery of another body with a cartel message in the state capital of Queretaro, Queretaro. According to Mexico’s Proceso , in that message, Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) took credit for the killing, claiming that their boss’s orders were to “clean up,” referring to the killing of rivals on their turf.
Just last week, also in Queretaro, authorities found the dismembered remains of another man inside a plastic container. A similar case took place on December 1, when gunmen also suspected of being part of CJNG left two dismembered bodies inside ice chests in Queretaro.
Queretaro managed to avoid the levels of extreme violence that has plagued most of Mexico until recent months.
The spike of violence in Queretaro is reportedly linked to expansion efforts by CJNG, something similar to what happened in the once-peaceful state of Guanajuato, where that criminal organization set off a fierce turf war that turned that state into one of Mexico’s most violent regions.
