🇺🇸 Biden DHS exempted thousands of immigrants from terror-related entry restrictions in FY 2024 The Biden administration gave nearly 7,000 exemptions, mostly to refugees, for foreign nationals who otherwise could be ineligible for admission into the U.S. due to terrorism-related entry restrictions - a significantly higher number than in recent years. The 6,848 number is significantly higher than the 2,085 waivers issued in FY 2023, which in turn was higher than previous years. There were 603 waivers distributed in FY 2022, 191 in FY 2021 and 361 in FY 2020, according to DHS reports. 🔎Source #US#border ☠️ Blood Meridian

🇺🇸Proposal to allow local police to make arrests near border will appear on ballot in Arizona The Arizona Supreme Court ruled on Aug. 14 that a proposal that would make it a crime for migrants to cross the southern border and empower local police to make arrests near the state’s border with Mexico will appear on the Nov. 5 ballot. In issuing its ruling, the state’s highest court rejected a challenge from Latino groups who argued the proposal—known as Proposition 314—violates a rule in the state constitution limiting ballot questions to a single subject. 🔎Source #US#border ☠️ Blood Meridian

🇲🇽🇺🇸Hundreds of migrants leave southern Mexico on foot in a new caravan headed for the US border Hundreds of migrants from around a dozen countries left from Mexico’s southern border on foot Sunday, as they attempt to make it to the U.S. border. Some of the members of the group said they hoped to make it to the U.S. border before elections are held in November, because they fear that if Donald Trump wins, he will follow through on a promise to close the border to asylum-seekers. The group left Sunday from the southern Mexican town of Ciudad Hidalgo, which is next to a river that marks Mexico’s border with Guatemala. 🔎Source #Mexico#US#border ☠️ Blood Meridian
