What do you do when you have your accounts removed by social media platforms and have your television show pulled from its broadcast platform for the crime of being an effective purveyor of conservative values while being a truth-teller who is more blunt than the sensitive snowflakes can tolerate? YOU KEEP FIGHTING FOR AMERICA. (And you write a book.) Josh Bernstein, host of Josh Bernstein Uncensored and author of Preserving Liberty: Bold and Brave Solutions to Save America and Create Permanent Freedom, joined me for an hour to discuss the book. In the second hour, Ron Edwards, host of The Ron Edwards American Experience, joined me to discuss the data released this week by Immigration and Customs Enforcement showing that hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in the U.S. are known violent criminals and how the Democratic Party and especially Kamala Harris (along with tag-a-long Tim Walz) are entirely onboard with the Soros / Open Society Foundations' anti-America agenda.

Tom Homan, former Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, joins Liberty & Justice with Matt Whitaker, Season 3, Episode 1.  Presented by American Cornerstone Institute.  Learn more about ACI at https://americancornerstone.org/  Watch every episode of Liberty & Justice at www.whitaker.tv. Thomas D Homan was appointed by President Trump on January 30, 2017 as the Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He remained the Acting Director until his retirement on June 30, 2018. ICE is the largest investigative arm within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the second largest investigative agency in the federal government. ICE has more than 20,000 Special Agents, Officers and other employees and has an annual budget of more than $8 billion. ICE is charged with protecting the homeland through criminal and civil enforcement of federal laws governing border control, customs trade, and immigration. ICE Agents are located in more than 400 offices in the United States and 46 foreign countries.From 2013 to his Presidential Appointment, Mr. Homan served as the Executive Associate Director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). In this capacity, he led ICE's efforts to identify, arrest, detain, and remove illegal aliens, including those who present a danger to national security or are a risk to public safety, as well as those who enter the United States illegally or otherwise undermine the integrity of our immigration laws and our border control efforts. In those three years while he served as the EAD, Homan oversaw the removal of more than one million illegal aliens from the United States. Mr. Homan is a 34-year veteran of law enforcement and has nearly 33 years of immigration enforcement experience. He has served as a police officer in New York; a U.S. Border Patrol Agent; a Special Agent with the former U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service; as well as Supervisory Special Agent and Deputy Assistant Director for Investigations. In 1999, Mr. Homan became the Assistant District Director for Investigations (ADDI) in San Antonio, Texas, and three years later transferred to the ADDI position in Dallas, Texas. Upon the creation of ICE, Mr. Homan was named as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge in Dallas and later to the Deputy Special Agent in Charge. In March 2009, Mr. Homan accepted the position of Assistant Director for Enforcement at ICE Headquarters in Washington DC and was subsequently promoted to Deputy Executive Associate Director. Mr. Homan holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and has received numerous awards and special recognitions for his 34 plus years as a federal law enforcement officer and leader.He received the Distinguished Presidential Rank Award in 2015 for his exemplary leadership and extensive accomplishments in the area of immigration enforcement. He also received the Distinguished Service Medal in June 2018 in recognition of exceptionally distinguished and transformational service to strengthen Homeland Security for the United States. Again in 2018 he also received the Law Enforcement Person of the Year Award from the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association that represents over 26,000 federal law enforcement officers. In November of 2019, Homan was also awarded the Man of the Year Award by Blue Magazine, a law enforcement publication created by and managed by law enforcement career professionals. Finally, on January 11, 2021, Tom was awarded the National Security Medal by President Trump for his distinguished achievement in the field of national security through exceptionally meritorious service to our nation. Matthew G.

Starting in 1906, the editors of the Forward answered reader questions in a column called “A Bintel Brief,” Yiddish for “a bundle of letters.” Now, we're bringing Bintel into a new era. Welcome to Season 2 of “A Bintel Brief,” the Jewish advice podcast. In “Dungeons and Dealbreakers,” a listener in high school writes in wondering whether or not to cut ties with her friends who had her enact a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid during a Dungeons & Dragons game. Bintel responds with wisdom, humor, and tasteful advice.

The Supreme Court handed down a massive second amendment victory. Republican Senators continued to betray law-abiding gun owners. Pro transgender groups are attacking Hillary Clinton, FUN! Joe Biden needs notes telling him when to speak and when to sit down and 97 percent of Americans blame him for inflation – so much for Putin's Price hike. We dive into all that and so much more on today's show.  Senator Roger Marshall, Republican from Kansas discussed his efforts to fight Joe Biden's Transgender policies. The senator also gave us an update on his effort to ban 'Kid-Friendly' drag shows. Breitbart News senior legal analysis Ken Klukowski also  joined the program and broke down the major constitutional victories from gun ownership to Voter ID.  Tom Homan, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement joined the program. Tom fired off on Biden and DHS Sec Mayorkas, who Tom says should be impeached when Republicans take back Congress over his disastrous border and immigration polices.

This is an interview with Rev. Craig B. Mousin, an Adjunct Faculty member of the DePaul University's College of Law, Refugee and Forced Migrations Studies Program and the Grace School of Applied Diplomacy. The podcast examines the federal government's request for comments on a proposed Interim Final Rule involving adjudication of asylum applications.  It argues that the expedited deadlines and streamlining procedures will prevent asylum applicants from developing a complete record in support of their claims and may make it almost impossible for asylum seekers to obtain legal representation.  The Action Step below lists a link to the Interim Final Rule and the link to upload your comments.  The Resources list several different links to understand the problems with the Interim Final Rule and different templates to assist you draft your comments.ACTION STEPYou are invited to submit comments with your personal critiques of elements of the law.Please note, once you click on this link, you will find a “Commentator's Checklist” at the top of the page which provides helpful guidelines in preparing your comment.  Comments must be filed before midnight, Eastern Daylight Savings time, on Tuesday, May 31.The full proposed Interim Final RuleThe quote in the podcast from the proposed IFR regarding soliciting public opinion can be found at 87 Fed.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which detains hundreds of thousands of people nationwide, typically says fewer than a dozen detainees die in its custody each year. But if the agency releases a person in dire health, they're not in custody when they die — so ICE doesn't need to count that death. Today, L.A. Times immigration reporter Andrea Castillo tells the stories of two people who were abruptly released by ICE just days before their deaths and pulls back the curtain on the system that allows this to happen.

All the General Services Administration was trying to do was get new office space for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Rhode Island. But, in a word, if bungled the procurement.

This is an interview with Rev. Craig B. Mousin, an Adjunct Faculty member of the DePaul University College of Law and the Grace School of Applied Diplomacy.  The podcast contends that United States discrimination against Haitians over the last two centuries has created a moral obligation to Haiti and its residents.  Most recently, efforts to swiftly deport Haitians, contrary to the Refugee Act's non-return requirement, reveals how efforts to restrict Haitian asylum-seekers over the last forty years has contributed to the continual denigration of asylum protections under the Refuge Act of 1980.ACTION STEP:  The United Church of Christ offers you a way to promptly inform your representatives that deportations to Haiti must cease at:  https://p2a.co/MnT2c4mA petition to stop Haitian deportations:https://actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-the-petition-demand-that-the-biden-administration-halt-all-deportations-to-haiti?source=2021EndDeportationstoHaiti_NIJC&referrer=group-national-immigrant-justice-center&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=daa3e06b-7fb9-41d5-90db-1f488e4d0344&sl_tc=buttonFor additional information on the history of United States responses to Haiti and Haitian asylum seekers, Azadeh Erfani of  the National Immigrant Justice Center's writes:  “President Biden, It is Past Time to Protect Haitian Asylum Seekers, at:  https://immigrantjustice.org/staff/blog/president-biden-it-past-time-protect-haitian-asylum-seekersAn American Immigration Council report on Haiti can be found at: Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, “Del Rio Migrant Camp Shows How Biden Administration Is Not Living Up to Its Promises” at:https://immigrationimpact.com/2021/09/21/haitian-migrant-camp-biden-promises/#.YVSS8S1h1fESee also, Raymond Joseph, former envoy of Haiti to Washington, “Haiti Cries Out: Where is President Biden, as My Countrymen Swelter Under a Bridge in Texas,” https://www.nysun.com/foreign/haiti-cries-out-where-is-president-biden-as-my/91660/Former Justice Harry A.
