9 Boise, Idaho – Maj. Christopher Lavelle and his younger sister, Master Sgt. Kerry Lavelle, are known on Gowen Field as “the Lavelles.” The pair has served on base as full time technicians for several years and as traditional Guardsmen in the Idaho National Guard for nearly 20 years.
“It’s been fun serving in the military at the same time as my family,” said Christopher. “It seemed at one point that everyone on base knew who we were. They would see Kerry when she used to work in security forces at the front gate and they would see me for computer problems at the communications office.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has leveled a serious allegation against the federal Department of Health and Human Services: that child abuse is occurring in an emergency care facility at Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio.
The accusation made in a Tuesday-evening press conference marks an elevation in the governor’s public campaign against the Biden administration’s border policy.
Abbott has repeatedly criticized the administration’s decision to allow unaccompanied children into the country, calling it “open border policies” even though families and adults are still turned away, in violation of federal and international asylum law.
This story was originally published on April 8.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has followed up his accusations of abuse and neglect at an emergency intake site for migrant teens at the Freeman Coliseum in a letter to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is serving as border czar in response to an increase in immigration.
The letter calls for migrant teens to be moved out of the site, and details tips received by the state that they were not eating and lacked supervision in showers and overnight. It also summarizes concerns that “there is sexual acting out between children” and that gay teens are bullied.
Tucker Carlson Tonight host analyzes steps government is taking to hide critical info about border crisis
In the fall of 2018, not long before that year s midterm elections, President Donald Trump ordered a small group of active-duty soldiers to the American border with Mexico. Congress had refused to build his long-promised wall, and Trump wanted to highlight the severity of the illegal immigration crisis, which had been going on for decades.
In some ways, sending the troops was a symbolic gesture. Only about 5,000 participated. For perspective, that is about half the number of troops that the Democratic Congress sent to Washington this winter to protect itself from an imaginary QAnon threat. For those with a vested interest in open borders, which is to say virtually everyone in D.C., any military presence on our border was just too much. It was intolerable. Official Washington went berserk when Trump did it.
