A state of emergency has been declared in New Mexico‘s largest city, as the governor calls in the National Guard to help combat out of control crime.

 

Action by the Democratic governor clears the way for dozens of guard members to help the Albuquerque Police Department starting next month.

 

About 60 to 70 soldiers will be stationed in largest city, home to over a quarter of the state, for six months to a year, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham told reporters Tuesday.

 

Grisham pulled the trigger after the chief of police asked for assistance at the end of March, as the city of dealing with a fentanyl crisis, violent crime and growing homelessness problem.

 

Some of the troops will be assigned to Central Avenue, part of the historic Route 66.

 

The area is known as ‘The War Zone’ by locals, and is the site of homeless encampments and open-air drug use.

For all the talk of “right wing” violence, it is always the Left that resorts to violence as a political tactic.

The New Mexico Republican Party headquarters was targeted in a suspected arson attack on Sunday, according to party officials.

 

At approximately 5:56 a.m. on Sunday, Albuquerque Fire Rescue was dispatched to the headquarters for a reported structure fire, officials said.

 

The flames were brought under control within five minutes of their arrival and there were no reported injuries, fire rescue said.

Excuse me, but why weren’t they doing this under the prior administration? Why the heck were the NOT SEARCHING FOR THE MISSING CHILDREN!?!? The Biden Administration facilitated the largest child trafficking operation in history.

President Donald Trump’s administration is directing immigration agents to track down unaccompanied migrant children in the U.S., a source familiar with the plans told ABC News.

 

An internal document from Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE), headlined the “Unaccompanied Alien Children Joint Initiative Field Implementation,” said the initiative claims to prevent children from being human trafficked or other types of exploitation.

 

There are more than 600,000 migrant children who have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without a legal guardian or parent since 2019, according to government data.

What a wretched man.

In the final minutes of his presidency, Joe Biden pre-emptively pardoned several family members, including his brothers James, Francis and Frank Biden, and sister Valerie Biden Owens.

 

Biden said the pardons were intended to shield his family from politically motivated attacks and should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment of any wrongdoing.

I would like to see someone challenge preemptive and blanket pardons. It doesn’t seem Constitutional to pardon people for unnamed crimes for which they have not been charged.

Good. This has been a witch hunt and massive misallocation of resources. I hope Trump every DOJ official who participated in seeking out and prosecuting any but the handful of malcontents who deserved it.

CNN — 

President-elect Donald Trump hasn’t been sworn in yet, but his looming return has already upended hundreds of pending prosecutions against his supporters who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and has disrupted the ongoing effort to arrest more rioters.

The historic effort by Justice Department prosecutors and FBI agents to investigate the deadly Trump-inspired storming of the Capitol has led to more than 1,570 arrests in nearly all 50 states, making it the largest criminal probe in American history. New arrests are slowly still trickling in, four years later, including recent cases against a member of the Proud Boys and a rioter who tried to stab police with a flagpole.

But the political reality has already tanked morale inside the Justice Department division that handles these cases — and is hampering efforts to secure guilty pleas in about 300 pending cases, as defendants balk at negotiations, according to a federal law enforcement official involved in the sprawling investigation.

We have video and pictures of that day that has been used to abuse people for years. I want the names of these 26 people and a review of the footage to track their movement that day. I don’t trust the FBI and neither should you.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said there were more than two dozen confidential human sources in the crowd on Jan. 6, but only three were assigned by the FBI to present for the event, while stressing that none of the sources were authorized or directed by the bureau to “break the law” or “encourage others to commit illegal acts,” Fox News has learned.

“Today’s report also details our findings regarding FBI CHSs who were in Washington, D.C., on January 6,” the report states. “Our review determined that none of these FBI CHSs was authorized by the FBI to enter the Capitol or a restricted area or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6.”

The FBI has lost almost all trust. Until they can say what they are, they have no credibility in saying what they aren’t.

The FBI and Department of Homeland Security said Thursday that they had seen “no evidence” that mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey and adjacent areas in recent weeks “pose a national security or public safety threat.”

 

The agencies also said they had no evidence of a “foreign nexus” to the drones.

“Upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft, operating lawfully,” the agencies said in a statement.

 

“There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space,” the agencies said.
