    So a wall had nothing to do with his apprehension. Good to know.

    Migrants scale Arizona border wall,
    more than 100 gang members from El Salvador caught since October
    By Griff Jenkins, Travis Fedschun | Fox News

    More than 100 gang members from El Salvador are among the massive wave of migrants that's poured across the border in recent months, with nearly 400 illegal immigrants nabbed trying to cross en masse last week and a group of more than 100 caught scaling a wall Monday, beleaguered border officials said.

    United States Customs and Border Protection in Arizona tweeted surveillance video Wednesday that showed a group of around 110 migrants from Central America illegally scaling a section of the border wall in the Yuma sector on Monday.

    In the video, which is 55-seconds long, a group of illegal immigrants can be seen scaling the wall with the help of a smuggler, who used a ladder.

    The smuggler then runs away from the border wall, hauling the ladder.

    The video was released a week after a group of 376 Central American migrants were apprehended after they also illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border near Yuma.


    In that incident, authorities said the group -- which included 179 children -- dug under a steel barrier in seven spots about 10 miles east of a border crossing in San Luis and made no effort to elude immigration agents. The unusually large group was almost entirely from Guatemala and were taken to Yuma after entering the country.

    The arrests come as a reminder that, while the partial government shutdown -- largely over border security disagreements -- stretches into its 34th day, smuggling operations along the southern border continue.

    Since the Schumer shutdown began, border officials in the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector in Texas have arrested over 14,000 illegal immigrants and confiscated over 14,000 pounds of marijuana and 800 pounds of cocaine, border patrol sources told Fox News.

    Since October, authorities have also arrested more than 100 people believed to be El Salvadorian gang members in the same sector, the same sources added. The notorious MS-13 gang that originated in Los Angeles prisons before infiltrating the rest of the U.S. is mainly comprised of El Salvadorans.

    The Rio Grande Valley Sector is where President Trump visited earlier this month to highlight what he called a crisis of crime and drugs along the southern border. Agents in the sector patrol an area of over 17,000 square miles in 19 counties, which includes 320 river miles and 250 coastal miles, according to CBP.

    Additional gang arrests were announced by the CBP on Wednesday. The agency said on Twitter that agents in the Yuma Sector conducting patrol Tuesday night along the Colorado River apprehended two MS-13 members.

    National Border Patrol Council VP: The system is overwhelmed right now

    Rio Grande Sector Border Patrol Agent Chris Cabrera says more barriers are needed or agents are going to be in 'serious trouble.'

    The southwest Arizona desert is less remote but arrests have also sharply increased after years of relative quiet. The Border Patrol's Yuma sector made 7,857 arrests in October and November, more than double the same period a year earlier.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Illegal immigrant accused of raping, impregnating 14-year-old he met via Facebook
    By Bradford Betz | Fox News

    An illegal immigrant from Honduras who has been arrested twice for illegally entering the U.S. is behind bars this week for allegedly impregnating a 14-year-old California girl he met online, police said.

    Hector Montez, 31, was arrested in his workplace, according to reports. He was being held on a $5.2 million bond at Kings County Jail -- about 200 miles north of Los Angeles.

    Mark Bevens with the Kings County Sheriff’s Office said a hospital alerted authorities in December that a 15-year-old girl was about to give birth. The hospital contacted the sheriff’s office because of the victim’s minor status, Bevens said.


    ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT LINKED TO MULTIPLE MURDERS ALLEGEDLY STOLE VICTIMS' JEWELRY, COURT DOCS SAY

    Bevens said the teen told officers she met Montez on Facebook. She said she asked Montez for a ride home from school in March. But instead of taking her home, he drove her to a secluded area and raped her, the Fresno Bee reported.

    The teen reportedly hid her pregnancy for months. Montez has denied knowing the girl. Deputies said DNA tests are being conducted to establish paternity, Fresno's KSEE-TV reported.

    Local media reports indicate Montez has been arrested twice for illegally entering the country. Officials said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has sent a request that Montez be detained.

    Let's face it, you can tell by their looks they're 99% murders, rapists, thieves, drunks, terrorists, carrying lice, fleas and disease, drug mules with calves the size of cantaloupes.

    This means Trump is the wimpiest President ever and George Bush 41 is the second wimpiest.
    Personally, I think George Bush 41 is a war hero who was a man's man and Ms. Coulter is the real wimp; dumb too.

    Unlikely to spread to others. That's what I took from this story.

    ICE nabs dozens of illegal immigrants, some with sex crime convictions, in New York

    By Adam Shaw | Fox News
    US will begin sending asylum-seekers back to Mexico in bid to end 'catch and release,' deter future immigrants

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced Tuesday that it arrested 118 illegal immigrants in New York in a five-day raid this month, more than 107 of whom were convicted criminals or had pending charges against them -- and the agency slammed local politicians for protecting them and endangering the public.

    “In years past, most of these individuals would have been turned over to ICE by local authorities upon their release from jail based on ICE detainers," ICE said in a statement on Tuesday. "Now that many sanctuary cities, including New York City, do not honor ICE detainers, these individuals, who often have significant criminal histories, are released onto the street, presenting a potential public safety threat.”

    The agency, which has faced calls for its abolition from left-wing activists and a number of 2020 Democratic Party hopefuls, announced that 55 had either been issued a deportation order but weren't deported, or had previously been removed and returned illegally. The statement said that several had prior convictions for offenses such as child sex crimes, weapons charges and assault.

    “Ultimately, efforts by local NYC politicians have shielded removable criminal aliens from immigration enforcement and created another magnet for more illegal immigration, all at the expense of the safety and security of the very people it purports to protect,” the release said.

    It gave a number of examples of those arrested, including a 44-year-old Ecuadorian national arrested in Brooklyn who had previously been convicted of attempted sexual abuse of two girls under the age of 8. Also in Brooklyn, a 30-year-old Guatemalan, previously deported, was nabbed with prior convictions of harassment and "public lewdness." The statement also gave the example of a 23-year-old Dominican, who had previously been released from NYPD custody with an active detainer, who had a pending rape charge against a child under the age of 17.

    ICE has been aggressively defending itself against charges from activists that it targets otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants, and regularly issues updates noting the crimes of those who it arrests and seeks to deport.

    ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT LINKED TO NEVADA KILLING SPREE WAS FROM EL SALVADOR, ACCORDING TO ICE

    In Tuesday's statement, the agency spelled out the criminal histories of those arrested. Those crimes are: “acting in manner injure child, aggravated DWI, aggravated harassment, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, assault, assault and battery, attempted assault, attempted criminal contempt, attempted criminal possession of marijuana, attempted criminal possession of a weapon, criminal trespass, attempted gang assault, attempted menacing, attempted sexual abuse, attempted tampering with physical evidence, battery on officer firefighter EMT, burglary 2nd: illegal entry-dwelling, burglary 3rd: illegal entry-intent to commit a crime, counterfeiting currency, course of sexual conduct-1st degree, criminal contempt, criminal facilitation, criminal mischief, criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a loaded firearm, criminal possession of marijuana, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal sale of marijuana, criminal trespass 3rd, destruction of property, disorderly conduct, driving while ability impaired, DWI, endangering the welfare of a child, failure to identify, family violence assault, forcible touching, forgery, grand larceny, harassment, illegal entry into the United States, illegal reentry after removal, inflict corporal injury-spouse, larceny, menacing, menacing with a weapon, obstruct police, possession of burglary tools, possession of a forged instrument, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, public lewdness, resisting arrest, rape 2nd degree, rape 3rd degree, resisting officer, robbery, sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, stalking, trademark counterfeiting, trafficking in cocaine, unauthorized use of a vehicle, and unlawful possession of marijuana.”

    Thomas Decker, field office director for ERO New York, praised ICE officers, and said their work was done despite “obstacles” placed in their way by local politicians.

    "In spite of the significant obstacles that ICE faces due to the dangerous policies created by local jurisdictions, which hinders the cooperation between ICE and local law enforcement, ICE will continue to devote the full efforts of our agency to protecting citizens and enforcing federal immigration law despite challenges being pursued by politically motivated individuals.”

    President Trump has been a full-throated defender of the agency. In July, he hailed its usefulness in fighting the violent gang MS-13 and said agents are “tougher and smarter” than criminals in the country.

    “Dems do not appreciate the great job they do!” he tweeted.

    They are all sex criminals. All they want to do is rape our White women and get our young White men addicted to drugs. They also want to kill our pure White men. I think we should shoot them as they get near our border.

    Meanwhile, in the real world a mule for a Mexican cartel just got busted trying to murder 57 Million Americans.

    Only depraved monsters would ignore, deny, and aid evil this pervasive.

    Fentanyl seized by Border Patrol in record bust could have killed 57M Americans

    By Cody Derespina | Fox News


    Border Patrol makes huge fentanyl bust

    A Mexican national was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents on Saturday with enough fentanyl to kill 57 million Americans, according to an internal memo first reported on Wednesday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

    The fentanyl seizure was a record amount, officials said in a news release.

    The suspect, who wasn't named, allegedly was found in possession of over 114 kilograms of fentanyl, 1 kilogram of fentanyl pills, 179 kilograms of methamphetamine and a tractor-trailer.


    "The shipment was referred to secondary, where an intensive examination revealed the contraband concealed within the trailer floor," CBP said in a report.

    The suspect was a participant in the Fast and Secure Trade program and, after the arrest, the person's FAST card was "processed for revocation."
