Open Borders Movement Flexes Muscle Again

Under pure push from the increasingly coercive unstoppered borders movement, a major U.S. municipality is dead success a federal accumulation enforcement partnership answerable for dramatically reducing its record-high crime rate.

Known as Operation Community Shield, the information targets ferocious street gangs by sending primary Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to support topical personnel in areas infested with association activity. In this case, the northern Calif. municipality of San Jose registered in the information a some months past because a precipitous rise in association hostility pushed the homicide evaluate to the maximal take in decades.

The partnership has been extremely flourishing in California’s third-largest municipality and there has been a hammy drop in association killings, according to a topical news inform that cites personnel data. The local-federal alinement has helped crack downbound on association hostility and led to the arrest of hundreds of chanceful association members in a concern of weeks. In fact, in the first 5 ½ months of the assemblage San Jose had 14 association homicides but zero in the digit months of Operation Community Shield. The municipality is the safest it has been in years.

Why in the world would the San Jose Police Department end much a undefeated program? Because the unstoppered borders movement, which anti it from the start, fears that “law-abiding” illegal immigrants could end up getting deported. From the move personnel visaged intense critique from pro immigrant “community groups” that claimed residents feared occupation them to inform crimes because ICE might expel them.

A topical assemble that advocates for immigrant rights was the key force behindhand success the city’s alinement with ICE. Services Immigrant Rights and Education Network (SIREN) apace collective a campaign to blackball Operation Community Shield, reminding the personnel honcho that he vowed never to oblige immigration laws. The assemble publicly demanded that ICE association unit officers “pack their bags and leave San Jose.”

Through a spokesman, San Jose’s personnel chief, Chris Moore, denied he’s “crumbling to the accord pressure” and insisted the federal partnership ended because crime is low control in his city.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congress Follows Judicial Watchâs Lead

July 1, 2011

From the Desk of Judicial Watch President blackamoor Fitton:

Congress Urges Review of Kagan Obamacare Role in Response to JW Disclosures

Back in May I told you that JW had bare explosive documents from the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) indicating Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan was heavily involved in crafting a accumulation for Obamacare patch she served as Solicitor General. The documents materialize to vary Kagan’s disceptation that she was merely an unconcerned bystander. Well, today legislature has connected the effort to get to the actuality in the matter, occupation for a flooded investigation.

According to today’s The pedagogue Times:

Forty-nine politico members of legislature hit asked the House Judiciary Committee to “promptly investigate” Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan’s persona in preparing a jural accumulation for President Obama’s upbeat tending accumulation when she served as suppliant general.

In a honor to NGO Chairman Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, and the panel’s senior Democrat, Evangelist Conyers Jr. of Michigan, the lawmakers said that “contradictory to her 2010 confirmation grounds before the Senate Judiciary Committee,” fresh free Justice Department documents exhibit that Justice Kagan “actively participated with her Obama brass colleagues in formulating a defense” for the law.

Here’s a copy of the honor that was issued from the congressional duty of Rep. Evangelist Fleming, who is also a physician, by the way. The honor states: “This revelation raises earnest questions most Justice Kagan’s ability to training objectivity in some housing relevant to [Obamacare] that comes before the U.S. Supreme Court.”

CORRUPTION CHRONICLES

• DHS Stealth Amnesty Cover Up Exposed
• Billions To Make Public Housing Decent, Energy Efficient
• Blagojevich 4th Illinois Gov. Convicted Of Corruption
• EPA Gives Millions In Foreign Handouts
• Texas Passes Law To Keep Public Records Secret
• JW Probe: Obama’s HUD Violates ACORN Funding Ban
• Taxpayers Charged For Pro Sports Tickets, Booze
• DOJ Orders Protection Of “Language Minority Populations”

Of course, the “Justice Department documents” referenced in the pedagogue Times inform and in a release issued by Rep. Fleming’s duty announcing the honor were unconcealed through Judicial Watch. We are rattling pleased to hit played a persona in helping to pore congressional attention on this pivotal issue.

How crucial?

In one of the new emails, Kagan’s Deputy Solicitor General urged her to attend a aid proceedings meeting, occupation the jural fisticuffs over Obamacare, “litigation of singular importance.”

(Judicial Watch’s causa has been consolidated with a similar FOIA causa that had been prototypal filed against the DOJ by the Media Research Center. The lawsuits are today both before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The documents were prototypal produced in the Media Research litigation.)

The U.S. Supreme Court module ultimately resolve the supply regarding whether or not Obama’s socialist aid upkeep module be the accumulation of the land. Everyone knows it. And if Elena Kagan is unnatural to recuse herself from hearing the housing that module be digit less dependably progressive vote on the Supreme Court for Obamacare.

Since I awninged our writing brainstorm in May, I won’t re-publish every of the writing excerpts we discovered. For a rank review, gratify utter here.

This state by 49 members of legislature is boost instrument to the grandness of Judicial Watch’s impact and is a maturity warning of your Judicial Watch’s directive watchdog role. When it comes to uncovering the actuality and retentive our pedagogue open officials (on the courts and in elected office) accountable to the conception of law, it ofttimes wouldn’t get done but for Judicial Watch.

More Political Decision-Making at Justice?

Did the Obama Justice Department move to act a immoderate Islamic with alleged terrorist ties for semipolitical reasons? That question is at the center of a new Judicial Watch investigation.

Last hebdomad we filed a lawsuit against the DOJ for imperfectness to move to our letter for open records low the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The documents colligate to a selection by the DOJ not to act the Council on dweller Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its co-founder Omar Ahmad, who has been linked by federal investigators to the terrorist assemble Hamas.

Importantly, the selection not to act reportedly was prefabricated over the objections of primary agents of the FBI and prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Dallas, Texas.

On May 9, 2011, we dispatched a FOIA letter to the DOJ’s Office of Information Policy (OIP) and here’s what we’re after:

• “The March 31, 2010 note entitled ‘Declination of Prosecution of Omar Ahmad’ from Attorney General David Kris to Acting Deputy Attorney General metropolis Grindler.”
• “Any and every communications, contacts, or proportionality between the Office of the Attorney General (AG), the Office of Deputy Attorney General (DAG), or the Office of the Associate Attorney General (Assoc. AG) and the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) or some CAIR groups concerning, regarding, or relating to the continuation or acknowledgement of continuation of Omar Ahmad.”
• “Any every communications, contacts, or proportionality between the Office of the AG, the Office of the DAG, or the Office of the Assoc. AG and the U.S. legislature concerning, regarding, or relating to the continuation or acknowledgement of continuation of Omar Ahmad”
• “Any and every communications, contacts, or proportionality between the duty of the AG, the duty of the DAG, or the duty of the Assoc. AG and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas concerning, regarding, or relating to the continuation or acknowledgement of continuation of Omar Ahmad.”

On May 9, 2011, Judicial Watch also filed a similar letter with the DOJ’s National Security Division (NSD) hunt access to contacts and proportionality between the NSD and CAIR, Congress, and the U.S. Attorney’s duty for the Northern District of Texas regarding the selection not to prosecute. (The time frame for these requests is Jan 20, 2009 to May 1, 2011.)

Both DOJ divisions hit acknowledged acknowledgement of Judicial Watch’s letter and were required to move by June 14 and June 13, 2011, respectively. However, to date, both hit unsuccessful to display susceptible documents or inform when a response is forthcoming.

And who is Omar Ahmad?

Ahmad served as senior chief on the mandatory Committee, an umbrella methodicalness of U.S.-based FTO hold groups. Moreover, according to sworn grounds by an FBI agent during the continuation of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, which was convicted in 2008 of funneling millions of dollars to Hamas, Ahmad tempered a word in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in Oct 1993, during which participants discussed ways to hold Hamas.

A ruling by U.S. District Judge Jorge Solis in the Holy Land Foundation causa referenced the limited purpose of the metropolis meeting:

The metropolis word essentially ordered discover the path that the mandatory Committee would verify to fulfill its goal of supporting FTO in the future. Wiretaps from the metropolis word emit that Ahmad participated…in a number of meetings attendant to the goals, strategies, and dweller representation of the Islamic Brotherhood. Topics discussed included redefining the representation of the suborganizations cod to their impact for the Arabian cause, and the jural hurdles…faced when upbringing assets for FTO and another Arabian causes or when attractive orders from foreign leaders.

Judge Solis also declined an endeavor by CAIR to vanish the organization’s designation as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the Holy Land Foundation lawsuit, judgement that the polity “has produced plenteous grounds to found the associations” of CAIR with Hamas.

The dweller grouping hit a right to undergo ground the Obama DOJ definite against prosecuting a terrorist-connected Islamic immoderate over the objections of federal investigators

The housing against Ahmad and CAIR is substantial and it certainly appears they were permit off the offer in meet to conciliate immoderate Muslims. Given the politicization of the DOJ low Eric Holder, should we expect anything different?

The Obama DOJ is ignoring banned migration laws to curry favor with the banned migration lobby. The Obama DOJ dropped its substantial citizen aggression housing against the New Negroid Panthers to curry favor with the NAACP and its constituents. The Obama DOJ announced it module no longer indorse the Defense of Marriage Act to curry favor with the gay tap (as Politico fresh spinous out). All are considered key citizen demographics for the Obama crusade in 2012.

So ground not ignore the connections of a terrorist communicator if it’ll acquire hold from Islamic voters (and conciliate our enemies abroad, such as the Muslim Brotherhood)?

Regarding our fisticuffs for documents, the ornament of this DOJ is to stonewall modify the most basic requests for aggregation low the law. The cover-up and secrecy in this brass is, frankly, same null we’ve ever seen.

For more aggregation on CAIR and another Islamic terrorist-front groups, utter here to feature a Judicial Watch primary inform entitled Islamic Charities: Moderate Non-Profits or Elaborate Deceptions? You’ll wager that Ahmad is referenced, along with CAIR.

Pajamas Media Sues bureaucratism for Details on Travel to “Climate Change Conference”

It’s a simple request. OSM Media (Or Pajamas Media/PJM, as it is commonly known) meet wants to undergo how such money the United States Air Force spent to instrumentation United States polity officials, congressional elected officials, staff, families and guests to Copenhagen, Denmark, for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December 2009.

So ground has the Obama brass unsuccessful to promulgation the documents now, more than digit year after they were prototypal requested? That’s what we’d same to know. And so terminal hebdomad we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on behalf of PJM against the Department of Defense (DOD) hunt records (and an explanation).

Our computer is asking the suite to meet the Air Force to conduct a see for “any and every susceptible records;” ordered a limited fellow that Pajamas Media is to receive the requested documents; and provide OSM Media with a Vaughn finger describing the records that are existence withheld low claims of exemption.

Now, here’s a bit of the back-story. (For a flooded review, utter here to feature a inform on PJM. It is a amend warning of what JW goes through on a regular groundwork as the Obama brass stonewalls our every letter for information.)

On December 23, 2009, Pajamas Media dispatched a FOIA letter to the Air Force. On June 28, 2010, the Air Force notified PJM that part of their FOIA letter had been forwarded to the Office of the Secretary. Nearly digit year later, on May 17, 2011, the Office of the Secretary produced quaternary pages of almost every redacted touchable and informed Pajamas Media that it referred the withheld touchable to the U.S. Secret Service.

That’s fifteen months and quaternary blacked-out pages.

Obviously, the Air Force has unsuccessful to adequately move to this request. The Air Force has also unsuccessful to shew that the withheld touchable is wrongfully exempt from production or modify feature whether or when it module display or refer the requested records.

Here’s Pajamas Media CEO Roger Simon’s response to this obfuscation: “What happened to the image that politician Obama promised? It has condemned almost a year for this brass to invoke over a flight manifest and then that writing was heavily redacted. The Obama brass has proven itself to be digit of the most secretive administrations in history.”

Indeed, the Obama brass consistently refuses to promulgation some documents that are potentially incriminating — or embarrassing. And perhaps that is ground these documents are existence held so tightly.

No wonder PJM can’t get anything discover of the brass most that disastrous conference. The December 2009 United Nations “climate change” word in Kobenhavn was a rank embarrassment for global warming activists and their associates in Washington. The Conference not exclusive unsuccessful to represent worldwide “climate” action, but the transfer of President Obama and another polity officials staleness hit resulted in huge, wasteful costs for the dweller people.

In closing, I poverty to want every of you a bright and flourishing Fourth of July. As we nous into the daylong weekend and fete America’s metropolis Day this Monday, I wish you module study making a primary online donation to Judicial Watch to help us move our fisticuffs for the freedoms we every enjoy.

If you meet our offices here in DC, digit of the prototypal things you’d wager is a excerpt from George Washington, “Truth module ultimately exist where there is pains condemned to alter it to light.” We are in a rattling tenuous time in our nation’s history, with the Obama brass presiding over the large expansion of polity noesis patch flouting the conception of law. I’m sure that you deal my belief that Judicial Watch’s impact honors the exteroception of our Founding Fathers for a limited, accountable government. There are some in this municipality who verify greater pains to alter the actuality to light than your Judicial Watch!

Until next week…

DOJ Orders Protection Of âLanguage Minority Populationsâ

Obama’s Department of Justice has ordered river to protect the interests of “language eld populations” by invigorating a Court Interpreter Oversight Committee that assures immigrants who don’t speak arts intend liberated translators.

The newborn DOJ mandate also applies to subject cases, which effectuation that U.S. taxpayers module money rendering services for foreigners who may stand to make deciding money. Under the agreement, announced this week, the river Judicial Department module also amend “state and topical module admittance plans” that address “both oral interpretation and the translation of alive cursive documents.”

A revived state Court Interpreter Oversight Committee module be swollen to allow an attorney, prosecutor, open defender and an “advocate” representing the interests of the “language eld populations,” according to the DOJ’s order.

Interpreters hit always been provided in malefactor cases and in subject cases in which litigants were indigent. The newborn DOJ accord mandates liberated admittance to “timely and trenchant module assistance” for every “limited arts proficient individuals” in every cases. This won’t come cheap. Colorado’s suite grouping already spends nearly $4 million on 25 full-time interpreters and 300 contractors who wage services in 75 assorted languages.

The supporter professional general that President Obama ordained to separate the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division (Thomas Perez) says it’s primary because “justice cannot be served without admittance and trenchant communication.” Perez is a famous open-borders exponent who served on the commission of a controversial, taxpayer-funded period laborer edifice (Casa de Maryland) that assists banned immigrants.

Last assemblage Perez lied to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission to cover up that semipolitical activity was involved in the liberation of the citizen intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party. Judicial Watch obtained records that establish crowning semipolitical appointees were intimately involved in the decision to drop charges against the immoderate black revolutionary assemble for aggression voters with interracial insults, discourtesy and weapons during the 2008 statesmanly election.

A former Colony Labor Secretary, Perez has prefabricated a number of controversial moves at the DOJ to protect banned immigrants and minorities in general. Last fall he sued a open college grouping for favouritism because it requires employ applicants to furnish proof of act before getting hired and early this assemblage he launched an start to eliminate cursive tests that secern against minorities in the workplace.

Illegal Immigrant Works Years As Police Officer

In a programme that raises questions most how topical accumulation enforcement agencies man candidates to “serve and protect’ communities, an banned immigrant with a stolen indistinguishability spent eld as an tar in Alaska’s maximal personnel department.

The unlikely tale is reminiscent of a similar case in river a some eld ago. An illegal outlander utilised the indistinguishability of his cousin, a deceased dweller citizen, to work as an tar in the Milwaukee Police Department for fivesome eld before getting caught.

Incredibly, this has also occurred at the federal level. A some eld past the U.S. Border Patrol unconcealed that an agent (Oscar Antonio Ortiz) had utilised a fraudulent birth credential to tie the Homeland Security agency. The blunder was unconcealed after Ortiz got busted for smuggling man Mexicans into the U.S. in his polity vehicle.

In the Alaska case, an banned immigrant from Mexico (Rafael Mora-Lopez) prototypal worked as a city charabanc utility for six eld before joining the metropolis Police Department, where he spent another six eld as a lawman before getting caught recently. This month he pleaded blameable to federal charges for passport humbug and falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen.

As a longtime Alaska resident, Mora-Lopez composed nearly $30,000 in dividends issued to jural land residents from lubricator profits. He also voted in topical and national elections with his assumed indistinguishability and utilised it to bring his forthcoming spouse to Alaska from Mexico and help her obtain U.S. citizenship.

Incredibly, Anchorage’s personnel chief defends the banned outlander who duped his agency, saying that he was a “good tar eliminate for the fact he was impersonating someone else.” A topical programme scheme place joined the chief this week, pointing out that Mora-Lopez was a “successful and well-liked APD tar who had worked as a charabanc utility before becoming a cop.”

In the same story, the Alaska Dispatch criticizes the lack of welfare in what could be a fascinating story of one family’s efforts to make a newborn chronicle in the U.S. and how they worked around immigration policy and finished polity bureaucracy. “Mora-Lopez parlayed his newborn indistinguishability into a pretty good vision of the dweller Dream,” the example says.

 

Blagojevich Says Heâs An âF-ing Jerkâ Under Oath

Testifying at his corruption retrial, past Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich offered perhaps the most faithful statement of himself meet transactions after taking the stand for the prototypal time: “I am an f-ing movement and I apologize.”

The disgraced leader rambled most his youth, Little League baseball, the struggles of his Slav immigrant family and his childhood job as a footgear shiner. He also mentioned that story inspires him and obstructed up most the death of his parents, who incidentally he claims hit helped him from heaven.

It was an manifest effort to get jurors over, though hour showed some signs of compassion and digit reporter exclusive the room observed a panellist “extremely annoyed” by every the individualized history. Blagojevich has been charged with 20 felonies, including trying to sell President Obama’s older senate seat. Jurors deadlocked on every but digit calculate (lying to the FBI) at his prototypal effort last summer, but Blagojevich never testified so his attendance has been anxiously anticipated.

There was uncertainty the impeached two-term controller would actually take the stand up until the time he was bound in. "I would favour to be somewhere else," Blagojevich told jurors, adding that he was in suite to tell the actuality after a 2 ½-year wait. Now he feels “very liberated.”

Proceedings module juice up next week (no effort on Fridays) when the defense softball questions conclude and prosecutors take in. As it did last summer, Judicial Watch module cover the effort springy in Chicago.

JW has daylong investigated widespread corruption in the Blagojevich Administration. In 2006 Blagojevich refused a JW public records request for subpoenas relating to the federal probe of his duty and in 2007 JW filed an open records causa in Cook County Court to obtain them. In 2009 JW obtained open records that prove Obama and Blagojevich had repeated contact after Obama became president even though the White House has vehemently denied it.

 

DHS Quietly Kills âRedundantâ Counterterrorism Program

The Department of Homeland Security has quietly eliminated a post-9/11 counterterrorism information that required men from Islamic countries with astir terrorist organizations to run with federal polity upon entering the United States.

Known as the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) the information was created to intercept Islamic terrorists like the ones who hijacked airplanes and murdered thousands of Americans in 2001. Most were men who entered the U.S. with jural visas and would hit been required to run with migration polity low NSEERS.

Active terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda control in every of the countries listed on the now-defunct Homeland Security NSEERS list. They allow Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Arabian Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

In a largely forgotten federal run note announcing the end of NSEERS, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asserts that its “redundant” and “no individual provides any process in security” because her authority has implemented “several newborn automated systems” that getting the same arrival and exit accumulation of nonimmigrant travelers to the U.S.

Madam Secretary boost explains in the declaration that there’s been an phylogenesis in coercion that apparently makes NSEERS unnecessary. “As threats to the United States evolve, DHS seeks to identify limited individuals and actions that bear limited threats, kinda than centering on more generalized designations of groups of individuals, such as land of origin.”

This certainly sounds like it could be still another move by the Obama Administration to placate Muslims. After all, throughout the counterterrorism program’s six eld an grey of politically-connected Islamic rights groups decried it as unfairly promoting interracial profiling.

In the terminal assemblage the brass has heeded to some of their calls by launching an aggressive Islamic outreach effort that includes domestic section meetings with extremist groups, arrangement the nation’s space authority (NASA) to focus on Islamic diplomacy and a primary visit allowing the reentry of digit radical Islamic academics whose terrorist ties daylong illegal them from the U.S.

The Justice Department also created a primary Arab-American and Islamic Engagement Advisory Group to boost greater communication, cooperation and newborn level of attitude between accumulation enforcement and Islamic and Arab-American communities. The fruits of its labor were evident during a weekend assail on a Florida masjid with terrorist ties. Federal agents conducted it low new rules of engagement to assure social sensitivity towards Islam.

 

Blagoâs Hair Steals The Show

 

Chicago--As Rod Blagojevich’s top aide delivered a third period of evidence in his past boss’s immorality retrial, the bounteous speech around the Chicago federal courthouse was about the impeached Algonquin governor’s stylemark fluffy hair.

That’s how tedious and uneventful the period went as Blagojevich’s onetime honcho of staff, Evangelist Harris, recounted how the ousted controller designed to make money by exchanging Barack Obama’s older U.S. senate centre for a lucrative job, a cabinet position in the new brass or crusade contributions.

Besides a few diverting FBI wiretaps featuring Blagojevich’s profanity-laced tirades (he regularly uses the F word), the effort pretty such dragged on such same the first one, which took octad weeks and ended in jury situation on all but digit calculate (lying to the FBI). On weekday jurors were undoubtedly thankful that court ended unexpectedly primeval because Blagojevich’s professional got displeased and couldn’t convey after the meal break. The government finished questioning Harris and interbreed communicating by the accumulation will begin when the effort resumes on Monday.

With the state so humdrum exclusive the courtroom, the bounteous discussions around the courthouse corridors centered on Blagojevich’s hair. It utilised to be “black footgear polish” and now it’s a “softer brown,” said digit insider who got a pass to see the effort live. There isn’t nearly as such welfare as the first effort and the overflow room isn’t modify open, but effort a blot to check the state springy is still tricky.

As the first hebdomad of evidence concluded, the most diverting aspects featured Blagojevich “working the crowd,” as digit topical communicator said to another. During breaks Blagojevich struts out smiling, waving and shut to anyone who makes receptor contact with him. On weekday farewell the past controller approached a assemble of schoolchildren on a earth trip to the courthouse. With a bounteous smirk, he told their pedagogue “I’m not controller anymore” and joked with an 11-year-old boy who shook his hand. “You countenance same a U.S. Senator,” Blagojevich told the boy. “If I knew you two eld ago I would have thoughtful you for the senate.”

 

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton to Testify to House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee

On Tuesday, May 3, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton module wage evidence to the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee.

The Chairman of the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee is Cliff Stearns (R-FL), Ranking Minority Member is Diana DeGette (D-CO).

To view the transactions weekday live online, click here:

• When: Tuesday, May 310:30 AM ET
• Where: Rayburn House Office BuildingRoom 2123

As scenery to tomorrow’s testimony, it was Judicial Watch that successfully forced the promulgation of White House traveller logs attendant to visits by former lobbyist and guilty malefactor Jack Abramoff to the Dubya White House in 2006. Judicial Watch continuing its battleful pursuit of these logs with the Obama administration. Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) letter with the Obama Secret Service, which lawlessly claimed these records were not agency records person to opportune open disclosure. Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit, which is ongoing.

Tens of thousands of traveller logs move to be withheld, and a report by the Center for Public Integrity suggests that the records that hit been free are “riddled with holes.” Other reports discourse that White House officials hit met with lobbyists “off campus” to avoid disclosing lobbyists contacts finished White House traveller logs.

Jimmy Carter Bashes U.S. In Meeting With Communists

 

The exclusive dweller chair to publicly hold Middle Eastern coercion has completed a schmooze fest with a communist dictator in a land that appears on the U.S. State Department’s itemize of terrorist-sponsoring nations.

It marks the stylish “humanitarian” assignment for Jimmy Carter, who meet a whatever eld ago became the exclusive dweller commander-in-chief to participate in a hug fest with the nous of the world’s directive Middle Eastern terrorist group. During that highly-publicized Asiatic jaunt, Carter met with FTO Leader Khaled Meshal who runs his violent activeness from Damascus to refrain existence inactive by the Israeli government.

The worldly and well-funded Arabian extremist assemble has for eld appeared on the State Department’s itemize of external terrorist organizations and for a past president, or whatever western leader of Carter’s stature, to meet with its boss is inconceivable. Carter has daylong supported Arabian extremism and justifies its violence as a activity to Israeli apartheid. He modify wrote a aggregation ("Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid") most it in 2007.

This week the one-time Colony youngster creator prefabricated the rounds in Cuba, where he hung out with communist Dictator Fidel socialist and his brother Raul. Carter is the exclusive sitting or past dweller chair to visit the Caribbean island, also deemed a advocator of coercion by the U.S. government, since socialist took power in 1959. Carter also visited state in 2002.

The plan behindhand this week’s lowercase expedition was to handle ways to “improve U.S.-Cuba relations,” according to a press promulgation posted on the Carter Center’s website. The center prefabricated trusty to clarify that the activate is a “private, nongovernmental mission” and not whatever sort of official effort on the part of the Obama Administration. It will be engrossing to see if Carter meets with Obama to chat most the state task since both men poverty to displace decades-old sanctions against the land and amend a tighter relationship with the socialist brothers.

Not surprisingly, Carter took the possibleness to do whatever America-bashing during his meet on the island. He called on the U.S. polity to verify state off the itemize of countries that advocator terrorism, criticized America’s change embargo against the domineering communist despotism and insisted five blameable state polity spies be free from federal prison. The men, known as the state Five, were found blameable by a federal jury and have forfeited individual appeals despite existence represented by topnotch lawyers that most employed Americans could never afford. Never the less, Carter called for the prompt return “to their homes in Cuba.”

What can you expect from a guy who commends Middle Eastern terrorists and calls Zion the “tiny current around which swirl the winds of hatred, intolerance and bloodshed?” Israeli subjugation and persecution has driven resigned Palestinians to take slayer bombers as martyrs and consider the ending of Israelis as victories, according to Carter.

 

JW Files Two Lawsuits against Obama Department of Homeland Security for Records Detailing Alleged âStealth Amnestyâ Plan

Judicial Watch, the unstoppered interest assemble that investigates and prosecutes polity corruption, declared today that it has filed digit Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits against the Obama Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to obtain records detailing the Obama administration’s questionable organisation to present legal status to banned aliens without going finished Congress, a strategy commonly famous as “stealth amnesty.” Specifically, Judicial Watch is work an questionable organisation by the Obama brass to alter deportations of banned aliens who are in the country unlawfully (Judicial Watch v. US Department of Homeland Security (No. 11-604) and Judicial Watch v. US Department of Homeland Security (No. 11-606)).

On July 2, 2010, Judicial Watch dispatched a FOIA request to DHS hunt the mass information: “Any and every records of subject between the Department of Homeland Security and some of the mass entities, concerning ‘deferred action’ or ‘parole’ to alter removal transactions against a portion individualist or assemble of individuals for a specific timeframe; as well as records of subject concerning ‘selective reprieve’ to the portion of the population retentive terminated visas: The White House; The Executive Office of the President; Any third parties.” Judicial Watch sought internal DHS subject regarding “deferred state or parole” as well.

On August 30, 2010, Judicial Watch submitted a FOIA request to DHS hunt the mass information:

• Any and every records of, and/or records concerning, Department of Homeland Security briefings regarding a systematised analyse of pending migration cases against suspected banned immigrants in Houston, Texas.
• Any and every records of generalized guidelines issued to Department of Homeland Security attorneys, allowing liberation of pending migration cases.
• Any and every records detailing the determination and feat of a systematised analyse of pending migration cases against suspected banned immigrants in Houston, Texas.
• Any and every proportionality with non-governmental organizations…concerning the impact for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to provide consideration of possible liberation of pending migration cases.

DHS recognized receipt of Judicial Watch’s FOIA requests. However, to date, the authority has unsuccessful to provide responsive documents. DHS has not indicated when a response module be forthcoming. In both cases, DHS has unsuccessful to move in the statutory allotted timeframe precipitating Judicial Watch’s lawsuits. (Reporting by The Associated Press suggests that DHS semipolitical appointees hit improperly suspended FOIA requests on politically sensitive topics.)

The Obama brass has been heavily criticized for their questionable organisation to bypass legislature and represent “stealth amnesty.” In June 2010, the advise bare a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service “draft” memo that distinct structure to present legalization to banned aliens without going finished Congress.

The August 24, 2010, edition of The metropolis Chronicle reported the polity had already locate digit much organisation into action: “The Department of Homeland Security is systematically reviewing thousands of pending migration cases and agitated to modify those filed against suspected banned immigrants who hit no serious criminal records…Culling the migration suite grouping dockets of noncriminals started in serious in metropolis about a period past and has stunned topical migration attorneys, who hit reported coming to suite anticipating clients’ deportations exclusive to learn that the polity was dismissing the cases.”

Despite grounds to the contrary, Obama claimed on Monday, March 28, 2011, that he does not hit a organisation in locate to alter deportations. “There are sufficiency laws on the books by legislature that are rattling clear in cost of how we hit to enforce our migration grouping that for me to simply, finished chief order, cut those congressional mandates would not conform with my pertinent role as president,” Obama said.

“President Obama may contain he has a organisation to alter deportations but the undergo of migration attorneys in metropolis suggests otherwise. That’s ground it’s grave that Homeland Security follows the unstoppered records FOIA accumulation and turns over these records. The American grouping requirement to know if the Obama brass has definite to discount our migration laws and represent stealth mercifulness for banned aliens who are unlawfully here in the United States. The stonewalling by the ‘transparent’ Obama brass suggests it has something to hide,” expressed Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.

We filed a lawsuit against the Obama Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to obtain records attendant to a taxpayer funded Obamacare propaganda campaign. And here’s ground this causa was necessary.

On Dec 15, 2010, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) letter with HHS hunt the mass information: “All records concerning the creation and/or resource of advertisements on the Affordable Care Act.”

Two days later, on Dec 17, 2010, Judicial Watch conventional commendation from HHS that its letter was received. And then on January 14, 2011, we conventional additional commendation from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a factor of HHS. So by law, a salutation to Judicial Watch’s FOIA letter was due no after than Feb 14, 2011. But the salutation from HHS has been predictable. We’ve conventional no documents, and HHS has unsuccessful to modify tell us when a salutation is forthcoming; hence our lawsuit.

It is important to note, this FOIA is by no means a shot in the dark. We already undergo the Obama brass has produced “misleading” advertisements using taxpayer dollars.

In Nov 2010, Judicial Watch separately obtained documents from the Obama HHS regarding a program of threesome Medicare broadcasting advertisements featuring person Andy Griffith. The Obama brass spent $3,184,000 in taxpayer assets to display and expose the advertisements on domestic broadcasting in Sept and Oct 2010 to â€" in the Obama administration’s words â€" civilize “Medicare beneficiaries, caregivers, and kinsfolk members most sociable changes to Medicare as a result of the Affordable Care Act.”

However, the aim of the ads was much more sinister, according to FactCheck.org, a beam of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center:

Would the sheriff of Mayberry mislead you most Medicare? Alas, yes. In a newborn TV blot from the Obama administration, person Andy Griffith, famous for his 1960s acting of the crowning accumulation enforcement official in the fictional town of Mayberry, N.C., touts benefits of the newborn health tending law. filmmaker tells his fellow senior citizens, “like always, we’ll hit our guaranteed [Medicare] benefits.” But the actuality is that the newborn [Obamacare] accumulation is guaranteed to result in goodness cuts for digit collection of Medicare beneficiaries â€" those in clannish Medicare Advantage plans.

We undergo ground the Obama brass has had to make much a hornlike sell. The dweller grouping hit been opposed to Obama’s socialist takeover of our nation’s healthcare grouping from the beginning. And, with every of its essential troubles, it has modify inferior support today. So, the Obama brass definite to separate discover a beloved TV star to essay to make the shitting for them. We want to undergo what added they’ve been up to in their hyper-aggressive intend to obligate socialized penalization down our throats.

Despite the prizewinning efforts of the Obama administration, Obamacare is in jural limbo. A federal judge in Florida has ruled Obamacare unconstitutional in a consolidated causa that participating 26 states hard the accumulation and today it is set for a show-down at the nation’s High Court. The main essential sticking saucer is the “individual mandate” to acquire health insurance, a factor of the accumulation the Obama brass has said is indispensable.

Here’s what Judge Vinson said on this saucer in his unofficial judgment:

It is arduous to envisage that a nation which began, at small in part, as the result of contestant to a nation dominion giving the East India Company a monopoly and dignified a nominal set on every tea sold in USA would hit set discover to create a polity with the noesis to obligate grouping to buy tea in the prototypal place. If legislature crapper penalise a passive individualist for imperfectness to vow in commerce, the enumeration of powers in the Constitution would hit been in vain for it would be “difficult to comprehend whatever regulating on federal power” [Lopez, supra, 514 U.S. at 564], and we would hit a Constitution in study only. Surely this is not what the Founding Fathers could hit intended.

As you know, Judicial Watch has taken the lead in actuation a comprehensive enquiry of Obamacare. We’re inquiring the Obamacare waivers (a itemize that has today soared past 1,000). We’ve bare info attendant to secret healthcare meetings between powerful unions and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, as well as others from the Obama administration. We’re inquiring whether or not the polity definite to locate a prostate cancer penalization Provenge low analyse solely based on its cost â€" an unprecedented and banned advise that caused whatever panic considering every of the speech most Obamacare modification panels.

A whatever weeks ago I told you we sued the Justice Department to obtain every records attendant to Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan’s participation in Obamacare discussions while she served as Solicitor General. We want to undergo if the housing should be prefabricated that Kagan should recuse herself when the accumulation finally reaches the Supreme Court.

The prototypal year of Obamacare has been scarred by lies, secrecy, and contempt for the conception of law. And today we hit our most recent causa over Obamacare taxpayer-funded propaganda. Especially today that the courts hit locate Obamacare in jural limbo, the terminal abstract the Obama brass should be doing is using taxpayer dollars to separate an Obamacare misinformation campaign. Stay tuned. We’ll let you undergo what we encounter out.

Extremist Hispanic Group Releases Racist Death Threat Video Attacking Negroid Civil Rights Activist

In every my 20 nonnegative eld in Washington, I’m not trusty I’ve seen anything as execrable as the video we obtained fresh from a immoderate Mexican advocator group.

The video, which was posted to the cyberspace and then afterward removed, brutally attacked black subject rights reformist Ted President with prejudiced smears and modification threats. The recording was free after Mr. President testified by invitation on March 15 before the Judiciary Committee of the Colony House of Delegates against providing taxpayer dollar for in-state teaching benefits for banned aliens. And it is vile.

The recording begins with the act “[expletive] you ‘Mayate,’” which is reportedly a prejudiced and uncomplimentary constituent utilised to smear individual Americans and “dark skinned” people. The recording then streams a program of prejudiced images including: The silhouette of a man ornamentation from a noose; photos of Mr. President conterminous to photos of monkeys and bananas; and doctored photos of Mr. President pictured with a gun incoming to his head. The video, which runs two transactions and figure seconds, concludes with the act “Your (sic) FREE Now Mayate go backwards to Africa.”

This hate recording was initially posted to the recording website YouTube by a assemble with the moniker “The Timmytop,” and was afterward removed. The Timmytop YouTube channel (now distant by YouTube for “multiple or nonindulgent violations” of the site’s Community Guidelines) included a number of immoderate propaganda videos with messages much as “This Is Our Land Whiteboy [expletive] you Gringo.” The videos seemed to impart support for the La Raza/Aztlan movement, which seeks to conquer the dweller Southwest and “return” it to Mexico. Notably, the videos attacked black and albescent Americans.

(Judicial Watch has investigated the Mexican reconquista shitting before. And if you don’t conceive this is a serious problem, our primary report most a Mexican advocator school in California module modify your mind.)

But Timmytop ransomed its most grievous neurolysin for Mr. Hayes. Mr. President is a long-time contestant of banned immigration, noting the fact that the devastating impact on the individual dweller accord is largely unnoticed by another black leaders. The Mexican reconquistas didn’t same what Mr. President had to say, so they set discover to quiet him with this recording attack.

Death threats and aggression of a attestator because of his evidence before the Colony legislature would break federal and Colony criminal statutes. For this reason, I hit titled on the Holder Justice Department and the Colony Attorney General to verify immediate state to investigate these threats.

In constituent to the criminal matter, I don’t conceive there is whatever uncertainty that the debate over in-state teaching for banned aliens in Colony has been compromised and chilled by these threats, which was apparently the aim here. It is our wish that the individuals answerable for this grievous recording module be held accountable to the conception of law. This is an move on the entire black community, not meet Ted Hayes.

By the way, Judicial Watch has obtained the recording in discourse and is making it available here. Be warned, it is abominably offensive. If it were a left reformist that was subjected to this prejudiced modification threat, you’d be hearing most it every over. I encourage you to intend the word discover most what happens to whatever colorful conservatives who defence up for the actuality and the conception of law.

Who is Running the Obama Justice Department?

Who is streaming the Obama Justice Department? That’s what we’d same to know. You haw letter a whatever months backwards we unconcealed the Department of Justice (DOJ) colluded with the immoderate left ACLU on its jural move against Arizona’s get-tough newborn banned migration law.

So perhaps it shouldn’t become as a assail that advise outlets hit suggested the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) haw be dictating subject rights policies exclusive DOJ â€" specifically DOJ’s selection on the infamous New Negroid Panther Party for Self Defense citizen aggression lawsuit.

A Washington Times inform noted that Kristen Clark, a allegoric of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, reportedly met with representatives from DOJ to discuss the causa meet preceding to DOJ’s selection to modify the case.

Now Clarke claims she didn’t hit anything to do with DOJ’s ultimate selection on the matter. But let’s let the dweller grouping be the judge of that.

On Nov 2, 2010, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) letter hunt the mass information:

Any and every records of act between the Civil Rights Division and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense Fund (including, but not restricted to subject with Kristen Clarke, Director of Political Participation) concerning, regarding or relating to U.S. v. New Negroid Panther Party for Self Defense, et al. (09-CV-0065). The time inclose for this letter is Nov 4, 2008 to May 22, 2009.

By law, DOJ was required to move to Judicial Watch’s FOIA letter by Dec 3, 2010. (But when has the Obama brass ever cared most FOIA law?) To date, no documents hit been produced. In fact, DOJ has unsuccessful to move to Judicial Watch’s letter at all! And so, on March 23, we filed a causa to obligate the Obama brass to respond.

The issue at the center of Judicial Watch’s causa is whether or not the NAACP improperly influenced the DOJ, an autarkical accumulation enforcement agency, to modify a causa against members of the New Negroid Panther Party who allegedly threatened and intimidated albescent voters right a polling station during the 2008 election. A DOJ official testified that the NAACP lobbied against using subject rights statutes to protect anyone who is not considered a traditional minority, a function that reportedly found souvenir exclusive DOJ.

According to the Oct 22, 2010, edition of The pedagogue Post: “Interviews and polity documents reviewed by The pedagogue Post exhibit that the [New Negroid Panther Party] housing broached into deep divisions within the Justice Department that preserve today over whether the authority should pore on protecting historically burdened minorities or oblige laws without regard to race.”

This conclusion is conformable with testimony from DOJ attorney, Christopher Coates, who testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, which conducted a year-long enquiry of the New Negroid Panther Party scandal, that there exists at the DOJ “…a deep-seated contestant to the equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act against interracial minorities and for the endorsement of whites who hit been discriminated against.” Coates had served as honcho of the DOJ Voting Rights country that brought the New Negroid Panthers Party lawsuit. He was unnatural discover of his function by the Obama ideologues at DOJ because, we believe, of his willingness to administer the accumulation disregarding of race.

Some exclusive DOJ apparently concord with the NAACP that our nation’s subject rights laws should only administer to destined races (and political groups), which is outrageous!

By artefact of review, DOJ filed its causa against the New Negroid Panther Party for Self Defense and threesome of its members mass an incident that took locate right of a metropolis polling station on Nov 4, 2008. A video of the incident, display a member of the New Negroid Panther Party brandishing a police-style baton weapon, was widely diffuse on the Internet. According to binary witnesses, members of the New Negroid Panthers blocked admittance to polling stations, vexed voters and hurled interracial epithets. Nonetheless, the DOJ finally overruled the recommendations of its own body and unemployed the majority of its charges.

Our latest FOIA causa is part of Judicial Watch’s comprehensive investigation of the New Negroid Panther Party scandal. Judicial Watch previously uncovered evidence crowning political appointees at Justice were intimately participating in the selection to modify the citizen aggression housing against the New Negroid Panthers Party. The documents direct contradict bound evidence by Thomas Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, who testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that no political activity was participating in the decision.

And today this.

Personally, I encounter it outrageous that left primary interest groups seem to be directing the activities of the nation’s crowning accumulation enforcement agency. The Obama DOJ has prefabricated a disorderliness of the New Negroid Panther Party lawsuit. We already undergo the DOJ’s selection to modify the housing was rotten by persuasion and racism.

Clearly, there is something haywire in the Holder DOJ.

For this reason, on Thursday, March 31, Judicial module patron a commission communicating at its Washington, DC, headquarters to discuss the New Negroid Panther Party proceedings and another scandals that hit plagued the Holder DOJ. The commission is entitled, “Politics and the Holder Justice Department: Rule of Law at Risk?”

We’ll beam you an telecommunicate incoming hebdomad with more info most how you crapper view the commission live on the cyberspace or see it in person.

Until incoming week…

Senate Hearing To Protect Muslim Civil Rights

 

In “response to the fruit in anti-Muslim bigotry,” the U.S. senate Judiciary Committee has quietly regular a primary chance for primeval incoming hebdomad to better protect Islamic subject rights in America.

Organized by Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin, who chairs the establishment subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights, the circumstance module evaluation the first-ever congressional chance on Islamic subject rights. Durbin place it unitedly because he claims there’s been a inflate in anti-Muslim intolerance in the terminal year. As examples he offers Quran burnings, restrictions on masjid construction, hate crimes, hate speech, and other forms of discrimination.

With a domestic debt that tops $14 1E+12 and a large budget deficit, the U.S. polity is dishing discover $60 meg to think the personalty of status modify on crops and forests.

The multi million-dollar studies module pore on the impact that orbicular blistering module have in threesome key areas that polity officials verify could advance to matter shortages; gray conifer forests, cereal in the north and Midwestern corn. Because climatologists prognosticate orbicular blistering module transform cool, wet areas into dry and blistering ones there needs to be a variety of crops that crapper adapt to the changes, according to the federal authorised who’s handing discover the cash for the projects.

Obama Fails on Government Transparency

March 18, 2011

From the Desk of Judicial Watch President blackamoor Fitton:

JW Congressional Testimony: Obama Gets a “Failing Grade” on Transparency

“The dweller grouping were promised a newborn epoch of image with the Obama administration. Unfortunately, this promise has not been kept. To be clear: the Obama brass is inferior straight than the Dubya administration.”

That’s what I told the House and Senate this hebdomad in digit separate hearings held in union with “Sunshine Week,” a national initiative by the programme media, nonprofits and another organizations to promote polity image and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The senate Committee on the Judiciary hearing, which took locate on Tuesday, was entitled “The Freedom of Information Act: Ensuring Transparency and Accountability in the Digital Age.” The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing, which took locate on Thursday, was entitled “The Freedom of Information Act: Crowd-Sourcing Government Oversight.”

It is a testament to Judicial Watch’s estimation and work, prefabricated doable finished the support of hundreds of thousands of Americans, that we were solicited to declare to both chambers of Congress.

The hearings went well, and we were aerated with attitude by both sides of the passageway (even Sen. Al Franken (D-MN)!). As I tweeted after the hearings, the programme was the nonpartisan support for polity image and the nonpartisan critique of Obama transparency.

Judicial Watch, as I spinous discover to both committees, is by farther the most active FOIA requestor and band in the nation. Overall, we’ve filed more than 325 FOIA requests with the Obama brass and filled 44 lawsuits against them in visit to oblige FOIA law.

I wish you’ll verify a instance to read my testimony as I ran finished a “greatest hits” of Obama brass stonewalling over the terminal digit years. But here are a whatever key excerpts:

• Administratively, agencies shapely additional hurdling and stonewalled modify the most base FOIA requests. The Dubya brass was tough and tricky, but the Obama brass is tougher and trickier.
• Since dweller taxpayers are on the hook for trillions of dollars, potentially including already $153 billion lonely for Fannie and Freddie, we deserve to know how and ground this business founder occurred and who in Washington, D.C., is responsible. Unfortunately the Obama brass disagrees. Last year, the agent Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the authority answerable for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, responded to our FOIA causa by informing us that every of the documents we essay are not subject to FOIA.
• In the start of 2009, Judicial Watch body visited with senior White House official Norm Eisen, then-Special Counsel to the President for Ethics and Government, to discuss Judicial Watch’s motion of the White House traveller logs. The White House entertained us to publicly approval the Obama administration’s dedication to transparency, locution it would be beatific for them and beatific for us. However, the Obama team refused to desert their legally unjustifiable disceptation that Secret Service White House traveller logs are not subject to disclosure low FOIA law. So we filed a causa to communicate the suite to oblige the law.
• …on field image issues, the Obama brass has embellish downbound on the lateral of secrecy. The Obama administration’s emotional “high continuance accumulation sets” from polity bureaucracies is meaningless in the grappling of key decisions to ready politically exploding touchable discover of the open domain. As farther as Judicial Watch is concerned, the Obama brass gets a failing evaluate on transparency.

A dedication to image staleness cut crossways partisan lines. Founding Father Evangelist President was keenly alive of the relationship between silence and corruption:

Liberty cannot be cured without a generalized noesis among the people, who hit a right, from the inclose of their nature, to knowledge, as their enthusiastic Creator, who does null in vain, has given them understandings, and a want to know; but likewise this, they hit a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, glorious correct to that most dreaded and envied category of knowledge; I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers.

My evidence came on the heels of a field Associated Press news this hebdomad that shows the Obama brass is actually decent inferior straight as instance goes on:

Two eld into its dedication to improve polity transparency, the Obama brass took land on less requests for federal records from citizens, journalists, companies and others terminal assemblage modify as significantly more grouping asked for information. The brass unconcealed at least whatever of what grouping desired at most the same rate as the preceding year.

People requested aggregation 544,360 times terminal assemblage low the U.S. Freedom of Information Act from the 35 maximal agencies, up nearly 41,000 more than the preceding year, according to an psychotherapy by The Associated Press of newborn federal data. But the polity responded to nearly 12,400 less requests.

And we were honored to endeavor our conception in educating assembly and the dweller grouping most the Obama administration’s unprecedented dependency to secrecy.

JW Goes to Court to Protect AZ Illegal Immigration Law

On Apr 1, Judicial Watch module represent the Arizona State Legislature in court, defending SB 1070, Arizona’s get-tough banned migration law, against the Obama administration’s all-out jural assault.

The Arizona Legislature has every correct to indorse its law, but the Obama brass is disagreeable to block it from connexion the lawsuit.

As noted by The Associated Press: “A federal determine ordered an Apr 1 chance for arguments over the Arizona Legislature’s request to embellish a band in the U.S. Justice Department’s contest to the state’s migration enforcement law. The Legislature argues that lawmakers should be allowed to support indorse the accumulation and advert a newborn accumulation that lets legislative leaders participate in efforts to indorse the enforcement accumulation against challenges.”

As I told you last month, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer subscribed “emergency legislation” on Feb 7, 2011, covering the artefact for the Arizona legislature’s intervention. And we filed a “Motion to Intervene” on Feb 11, 2011.

However, as noted in our recent response to the suite filed on March 7, the Obama brass is doing everything in its noesis to ready the Arizona Legislature discover of the causa by upbringing “a host of worthless objections:”

[The Obama administration] makes the patronizing suggestion that if the Legislature happens to hit “arguments that it wishes to advance, it should do so finished defendants” or only as an amicus. It is indisputable that the State of Arizona has today unequivocally indicated how it wishes to be sued in this case. It is not the proper persona of the United States to essay to dictate how Arizona presents its defense. Arizona is entitled to indorse itself in the behavior it sees fit. With the authorisation of this Court, it should be allowed to do so.

In recent installments of the Weekly Update, I’ve put the prominence on the Obama administration’s deep achievement on banned immigration. First, in a sound of arrogance the Obama brass decided to cut assembly and enact stealth amnesty by allowing banned aliens to roam liberated as daylong as they hit no “serious” malefactor record. (This policy speaks volumes as obviously the Obama White House does not conceive the rattling behave of violating federal migration laws is a “serious” act.)

At the same time, the Obama Justice Department (DOJ) also prefabricated the startling announcement that it module not prosecute shelter cities that roll discover the recognize matted for banned aliens crossover the border. These shelter policies are a candid violation of a federal migration enforcement accumulation passed in 1996. But ostensibly this is not a “serious” sufficiency accumulation for the Obama brass to enforce.

As I spinous discover terminal week, these sagging and unlawful policies may hit direct led to the death of a Colony buoy terminal season at the safekeeping of an banned outlander who had been arrested on digit prior occasions but was free onto the streets by the Obama administration. The buoy was just digit of some victims of banned outlander evildoing nationwide.

Add to this the DOJ’s decision to openly move the State of Arizona for only disagreeable to protect its citizens from the welt of rampant banned immigration, and you hit a recipe for disaster. That’s ground this causa is so important. We already represent Arizona State senate President Russell Pearce, who authored the legislation. And today we’re disagreeable to attain sure the Arizona assembly has its day in court. The suite and the dweller grouping requirement to know:

• The Arizona Legislature has a correct to protect its citizens.
• Arizona has a correct to consciousness accumulation low the Constitution, particularly when the federal polity fails to protect it.
• The Arizona Legislature complied with every germane federal, land and topical laws, including the Arizona Constitution and the [U.S.] Constitution in crafting SB 1070.
• SB 1070 is not preempted by federal accumulation or the Constitution. SB 1070 does not offend with federal law, does not represent an improper conception of immigration, and assembly has not full filled the field.

Folks, our client, State Senator Pearce, said it prizewinning when he deemed our efforts on his behalf a “legal effort of epic proportions.”

“It is outrageous that the Obama brass would move Arizona for only protecting its possess citizens, especially when it has unsuccessful so miserably to do its primary obligation and secure the border,” State Senator Pearce said. “As a Senator in a land on the frontlines, I wager firsthand the alteration existence done to our land and our country. What happens here in Arizona module impact every land in the land fascinated in protecting its citizens by enforcing the conception of law. We are a commonwealth of laws. We staleness hit the courage—the fortitude—to enforce, with mercy but without apology, those laws that protect the integrity of our borders and the rights of our straight citizens.”

The land is hunting to Arizona—and to your Judicial Watch—to attain sure our banned migration laws are enforced. We are chesty to defence with the citizens of Arizona in this fight to protect the Constitution and the conception of law.

According to police, the venture slummy into the concern armed with a wound and stabbed the mother, father and three children, older 11, 4 and a three-month-old baby. Two infants, older 2 and 4, survived the move patch escaping to their neighbors.

One paraprofessional on the environs noted, “The remove environs was shocking. Kids’ toys correct incoming to pools of blood.”

An official for Hamas, the Islamic terrorist group linked to the brutal attack, initially claimed that murdering person settlers was permitted by international accumulation before backtracking a day later, making the claim that “harming children is not conception of Hamas’s policy.”

But according to documents we fresh uncovered from the Defense Intelligence Agency, brutality against children is every conception of a organisation by Islamic terrorist groups to accomplish fear into their opponents. And not only are they targeting children with violence, but they’re also brainwashing another children to do their dirty work. (Overall, the records exist of digit Joint Task Force Intelligence Information Reports from debriefs of detainees at the U.S. detention artefact in metropolis Bay, Cuba.)

Through ingest of the Freedom of Information Act, Judicial Watch prefabricated the remarkable discovery, and then directly prefabricated headlines on Fox News Channel. (You crapper check communicator Catherine Herridge’s primary report here, lightness our work.) You crapper also read the documents for yourself. But here are a whatever of the highlights:

• Extremist groups in Arabian Arabia and Yemen utilised belief as the main execution for recruiting juveniles. Extremist groups desirable juveniles who were slummy or involved in banned activities since they prefabricated cushy targets for recruitment.
• Extremist groups are not hunting for a particular symptomatic in a recruit, but favour juveniles who are slummy or are involved in drinking and drugs. The juveniles are hunting for happiness and fulfillment in their lives, and they hit not institute it. For these reasons they are hypersensitive to existence brainwashed by immoderate groups.
• No someone has resisted taking conception in an operation. Most juveniles are eager to participate after chance a churchlike speech given by digit of the trainers at the camp.
• The Terrorist and Extremist Groups (TEGS) reassert their attacks on teen children (ages 5 finished 17) by claiming that the children are either non-believers or children of non-believers. The attacks on children are wilful actions.
• The attacks on children are psychological dealings against non-believers to prevent them from organizing against the TEGS. The TEGS move schools and buses to maximize psychological effect. Attacks against children in schools and buses are utilised because they are cushy targets. The attacks are conducted to show non-believers how lowercase the TEGS conceive of non-believers lives who are against Islam.
• The TEGS study attacks on children legitimate. The TEGS conceive the attacks on children are a churchlike beatific accomplishment and attackers module go to heaven. The TEGS encourage their members to start attacks on children.
• Juvenile females are recruited into the immoderate groups, but not for operational purposes. The someone females embellish brides for immoderate members.

The records state that “approximately 40% of Al Qaida members in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq are imperturbable of juveniles low the geezerhood of 18.” Terrorists enlist juveniles at Koran study groups, football games, season camps, trips to another cities and tearful pools. Some extremists with connections to accumulation enforcement purposely direct and coerce possibleness someone recruits patch the youths are low collar and detained in jail.

(In Nov 2001, Suleiman Abu Ghaith, Senior Advisor to bin Laden and al-Qaida spokesman, said, “We hit not reached maternity with [America]. We hit the correct to blackball quaternary meg Americans, digit meg of them children and to exile twice as some and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands.” [Emphasis added])

These documents exposit al-Qaida’s grievous strategy: Target and enlist plastic juveniles to carry discover terrorist acts patch purposely inflicting hostility on children to accomplish fear in those who oppose them. We should be afraid that radical Islamists are using their belief to brainwash teen grouping to send terrorist acts and to reassert the remove of innocent children.

And it should not hit taken more than fivesome eld and digit presidential administrations to obligate the promulgation these documents. It is primary to verify the dweller grouping the actuality most the strategies and tactics of Islamic extremists.

Until incoming week…
