Illegal reentry into US brings felony charges

 Blaze:

Through sweeping crackdowns, President Donald Trump's Department of Justice has reportedly set an all-time record in prosecutions of illegal immigrants — a stunning reversal from the open-border era of former President Joe Biden.

According to a new report, Trump's Justice Department had a record-breaking month for criminal prosecution of illegal aliens in June — notching more than 3,000 cases last month.

The Washington Times reported that Trump's DOJ set a record by filing more than 3,000 illegal re-entry cases in June alone — targeting illegal aliens who were deported but were caught when they attempted to sneak back across the border anyway.

Also in June, DOJ prosecutors filed 3,200 cases for simple illegal entry — while not a record high, the number was significant. The figure made up over 50% of all Border Patrol arrests last month, setting a record for prosecution rates. The Trump DOJ numbers are staggering compared to the Biden administration's open-border era, when prosecution rates never hit 1%.

Citing Justice Department data, the Austin American-Statesman reported that federal prosecutors filed 7,660 illegal re-entry cases during the first three months of this year, compared to 4,312 cases filed during the first three months of 2024 and 3,670 during the first three months of 2023.

The U.S. Department of Justice said that it is "using all available investigative and prosecutorial tools" to fight the "invasion of illegal immigration."
...

Andrew "Art" Arthur — a former immigration judge — told the Washington Times, "If I get deported, I get deported. I go back and try again. But when it comes to prosecutions, now you've got a federal conviction. ... If you're coming here illegally to live and work, being in a federal penitentiary for two years isn't going to allow you to do that."
...

The prosecutions should be effective in slowing illegal immigration, and the numbers already show that to be the case.  The Trump administration has shown that immigration can be controlled.  The Biden open borders nonsense should be behind us, and Democrats would be wise to no longer support that policy.

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.
