#10 CHNV Parole Program Riddled with Fraud - Wendi Strauch Mahoney for UncoverDC, Santino, and HomelandGOP on X
A new report obtained exclusively by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) seems to confirm U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has committed "massive fraud in the application process" used by sponsors of aliens seeking parole under the Cuban-Haitian-Nicaragua-Venezuela (CHNV) program. Specifically, FAIR reported on July 31 that fraudulent information was "used in thousands of Forms l-134A" to help aliens enter through the CHNV program. It is still unknown how many fraudulently completed applications resulted in placement. It is also "unclear if and how DHS is resolving the prevalence of fraud in the program." Customs and Border Protection (CBP) halted entry for CHNV parole applicants because of the information revealed in the report. However, DHS has decided to resume the practice. From January 2023 through July 2024, nearly 520,000 inadmissible aliens came through U.S. ports of entry via the CHNV program, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection...#9 RNC Blasts Walz Admin’s Nonanswer on How Noncitizens Made It Onto Minnesota Voter Rolls: ‘No Hypothetical' - Danielle Wallace for Fox News, Daily Wire, and Gummi on X
The administration of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, has not explained how noncitizens made it onto the state's voter rolls, according to the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Minnesota GOP, which penned a letter to the state's Department of Public Safety. Kevin Cline, election integrity counsel for the Republican National Committee, and David Hann, chairman of the Minnesota Republican Party, first wrote to the Walz administration last month flagging how a noncitizen, legally living in the state and fearful of jeopardizing his status, came forward to report receiving a primary ballot without having registered to vote. Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner Bob Jacobson wrote back to Cline and Hann earlier this week...

Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro broke the law by publicly endorsing the reelection of President Joe Biden and criticizing former President Donald Trump in several statements he made while on official duty overseas, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel said Thursday. In a report to the White House, the watchdog agency said Del Toro’s comments about the presidential election came in a BBC interview and when he was responding to questions after a speech in London.

He’s the first son — and twice convicted.

The budding artist, who was found guilty on felony gun raps in June, entered the shock plea to all nine charges against him in order to avoid yet another embarrassing trial that would’ve centered on his penchant for strippers, pornography, luxury hotels, and exotic cars. “I will not subject my family to more pain, more invasions of privacy, and needless embarrassment,” Hunter Biden said in a statement. “For all I have put them through over the years, I can spare them this, and so I have decided to plead guilty.”
