Criminal illegals found in Houston ICE raid

 DC Daily Journal:

...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials announced the arrest of 422 suspected illegal migrants in Houston, Texas, during a week-long operation ending recently. The Trump administration’s renewed focus on immigration enforcement is yielding results, with this sweep targeting individuals, some of whom are linked to heinous crimes, including m*rder and gang activity. The operation signals a robust approach to addressing illegal immigration, prioritizing the removal of those who threaten American communities.

ICE agents conducted targeted raids on apartments across Houston, swiftly apprehending suspects and transferring them to immigration hubs for processing. Those confirmed to be in the country illegally face deportation to their home countries. The operation’s precision reflects the administration’s commitment to restoring order at the border while ensuring dangerous individuals are removed from U.S. soil. By focusing resources on high-risk targets, ICE is sending a clear message: lawlessness will not be tolerated.

Of the 422 arrests, 262 individuals had criminal convictions, 34 faced pending charges, 126 had committed immigration violations, and 229 were subject to final removal orders, according to data reported by Fox News. These numbers reveal the significant threat posed by unchecked illegal immigration, with many of those apprehended having a history of evading justice. The operation’s success in rounding up such a large group of offenders demonstrates the effectiveness of the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

Among the detainees was a particularly egregious case: a Colombian national convicted of m*rder. “He has a homicide conviction in Colombia and was sentenced to 21 years there,” said ICE Houston Director Bret Bradford. “He entered the United States illegally in February of 2024, was given a court date for an immigration hearing and released. He did not show up for that court date, so in March of this year, he was ordered removed by an immigration judge here in the United States.” This case exemplifies the dangers of lax enforcement and the urgent need for the administration’s aggressive stance.
...

The sweep uncovered a range of serious crimes among the detainees, including aggravated assault, robbery, terror threats, and s*xual assaults against both adults and children. Notably, 48 individuals were arrested for driving under the influence, and 24 had convictions for aggravated assault. Five of those apprehended were identified as gang members, further emphasizing the operation’s role in disrupting criminal networks. The Trump administration’s emphasis on public safety is clearly driving ICE to prioritize the removal of such dangerous individuals.

There is much more at the link above.  The arrests demonstrate how vulnerable the US became under the Biden's open borders policies.  Similar arrests of illegals took place in California and Florida. Why was a guy wanted for murder released with a court date? How does that make any sense?  Is it any surprise that this guy did not show up for his court date?

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
