Biden Administration Order Would Suspend 85 Percent of All Criminal Alien Deportations: Analysis
The memorandum from President Joe Biden’s administration halting most deportations for 100 days affects 85 percent of all criminal alien deportations, according to a new analysis.
While a federal judge in Texas on Jan. 26 blocked the order from going into effect, if it does ultimately survive court challenges, it would stop immigration officers from deporting about 85 percent of illegal immigrants, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found. Sex offenders, domestic abusers, and fraud criminals would be among those avoiding removal from the United States.
“Essentially, this memo is an attempt to abolish immigration enforcement,” Jessica Vaughan, who performed the CIS’s analysis, told The Epoch Times.
Ghislaine Maxwell asks judge to dismiss sex case, says Jeffrey Epstein plea deal covers her
CNBC 1/26/2021 Dan Mangan
Ghislaine Maxwell has asked a judge to dismiss her criminal sex case, saying an old agreement prosecutors had with the late child predator Jeffrey Epstein bars her from being prosecuted.
The British socialite also says her Constitutional rights were violated because she was indicted by a grand jury that was drawn from a pool that did not have enough Blacks and Hispanics.
Epstein, a former friend of Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, died from a jailhouse suicide after his child sex trafficking arrest.
Donald Trump lacks discipline, intellectual rigour and the doggedness Richard Nixon used to pull himself up from the bottom. But Trump has one advantage Nixon didn’t.
UN Nuclear Weapons Ban Begins, Nobel Winner Asks Joe Biden to Abandon Them
On 1/22/21 at 4:58 PM EST
A Nobel Peace Prize winner is calling on President Joe Biden to reverse his predecessors nuclear buildup and give up his strategic arsenal entirely, as a landmark United Nations treaty outlawing the world s most powerful weapons of mass destruction comes into effect.
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) entered into effect Friday, amounting to the world s first legally binding international agreement to ban the development of nuclear weapons and seek their total elimination.
It comes into force just two days after the inauguration of a new U.S. president.
WASHINGTON – President-elect Joe Biden s Inauguration looked much different than those in years past, particularly when it came to who will not be in attendance.
Presidential inaugurations typically are attended by hundreds of dignitaries – including former presidents, Supreme Court justices and members of Congress – while hundreds of thousands of spectators spill out across the National Mall to witness the ceremonies.
Instead, in lieu of massive crowds, a public art exhibition was erected on the National Mall to represent the American people who are unable to travel to the capitol for the inauguration.
In addition to the public, several prominent people, including some lawmakers, announced they would not attend because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has now killed more than 400,000 people nationally, or because of security concerns following a breach on the Capitol building two weeks ago.
