ICE conducts single adult, family unit removal flights June 7

 

WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a component agency of the Department of Homeland Security, working in close coordination across the department, including with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, continued to facilitate removal flights of single adults and family units between June 3 and June 7.

Those included removal flights to Albania, Central America, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Georgia, Mexico, Peru, Romania and Uzbekistan. If a noncitizen arrives and has no legal basis to remain in the United States they are processed and removed quickly, consistent with U.S. law.

Over the past year, DHS has removed or returned over 742,000 individuals, the vast majority of whom crossed the southwest border, including more than 111,000 individual family members. Total removals and returns since mid-May exceed removals and returns in every full fiscal year since 2011.

Seems it is not as rosy as a Myorkas press release might want us to believe.

 

US struggles to deport illegal migrants at border amid shortage of flights

 

There was then a final category “very hard to remove” – those from countries which refused to accept US flights.

According to official figures, US immigration and customs and enforcement made 679 deportation flights from January to May. Of these nearly 60 per cent were destined for Guatemala and Honduras.

There were 46 flights to Colombia, 42 to Ecuador and 12 to Peru, carrying only a fraction of the illegal immigrants from those countries.

But there were only 10 to Africa and just one to China, despite the arrest of nearly 13,000 Chinese migrants.

Mayorkas insists immigration order not at odds with Biden’s campaign promise
Homeland security head also defends timing of president’s border action as measure faces criticism from both parties

 

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jun/09/alejandro-mayorkas-defends-biden-immigration-order

 

Some Democrats have assailed the order as essentially a revival of the Trump administration’s asylum ban, which was struck down by federal courts. Biden also criticized the measure when he was a candidate for president.

 

Trump is fighting tooth & nail to deny those fleeing dangerous situations their right to seek asylum in our nation. We should uphold our moral responsibility & enforce our immigration laws with dignity—not turn away those fleeing violence, war, & poverty. https://t.co/1CVPP3sJo3

But, but, but Paul Ryan is an election denier.  Beyond that, he ushered in massive increases in government spending, and did nothing to tackle immigration even though at the time, the GOP controlled both houses and the WH.  He also allowed the House to fall for the Hillary Clinton Russian collusion hoax.  Not really a good Speaker, and therefore not really worth listening to.

 

As to FoxNews, they are becoming much more mainstream as a broadcast unit.  I read some of the stories they put on their website, but I have not watched a network news or 24hr news site in more than six years and it feels so good to not be tied to their biases whether left or right.

 

After Republicans lost control of the House in the 2018 midterm elections, Ryan suggested that there were irregularities about the election results in California. Ryan said that California's election system was "bizarre", "defies logic" and that "there are a lot of races there we should have won." After Ryan's remarks were reported on, Ryan's spokesperson said "The Speaker did not and does not dispute the results".^[156]
