BORDER CRISIS: Federal Agents Detained 27,518 Migrants in December Alone

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.09.19

President Trump highlighted the escalating crisis occurring along the US-Mexico border during his prime-time speech Tuesday night, with new data showing federal agents detained 27,518 migrants in December alone.

“Border Patrol agents apprehended 27,518 members of family units in December, the highest monthly total on record. That figure has steadily been climbing now for five months,” writes USA Today.

“Those caravan members, most of whom have been trying to exercise their legal right to request asylum in the U.S., contributed to a third straight month of more than 60,000 migrants being detained at U.S. ports of entry and arrested in the vast stretches of border in between,” adds the article.

Leading Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer flat-out refused to acknowledge the national security issue along the southern border Tuesday; saying President Trump had “manufactured a crisis” and was “stoking fear” for political purposes.

‘ABSURD RULING’: Trump Admin Responds to Judge’s Decision to BLOCK Asylum Ban

posted by Hannity Staff - 11.20.18

A joint statement released by the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security Tuesday slammed a San Francisco judge’s “absurd” ruling that blocked the Trump administration’s recent crackdown on asylum seekers.

The official release comes just hours after a federal judge effectively barred the White House’s recent efforts to prevent the “migrant caravan” from illegally entering the United States.

“Our asylum system is broken, and it is being abused by tens of thousands of meritless claims every year,” said the statement. “It is absurd that a set of advocacy groups can be found to have standing to sue to stop the entire Federal Government from acting so that illegal aliens can receive a government benefit to which they are not entitled.”

“We look forward to continuing to defend the Executive Branch’s legitimate and well-reasoned exercise of its authority to address the crisis at our southern border,” it added.

CARAVAN CHAOS: Federal Judge BLOCKS Trump’s Asylum Ban at Southern Border

posted by Hannity Staff - 11.20.18

A federal judge in San Francisco abruptly blocked the Trump administration’s crackdown on asylum seekers entering the country through the United States’ southern border Monday night; setting the stage for a potential legal battle that could reach the Supreme Court.

According to Fox News, “U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar, who was nominated by President Obama in 2012 to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, issued a temporary restraining order after hearing arguments in San Francisco.”

“Individuals are entitled to asylum if they cross between ports of entry. It couldn’t be clearer,” said one attorney opposed to the Trump administration’s revised guidelines.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed this week that 70,000 people per year apply for asylum at “ports of entry” across the United States; including border crossings in Arizona, California, and Texas.
