The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said its agents arrested a group of 11 Iranians who illegally entered the United States. . . .

Border Patrol agents then “determined the group had illegally crossed the international border into the United States. The group was arrested and taken to Yuma Station for processing,” according to the release. “The five females and six males are were [sic] all from Iran, a Special Interest Country.”

The agency said that Yuma Sector agents “regularly encounter people from all over the world,” including so-called “Special Interest Countries.”

“For the last two fiscal years, Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents have led the nation in apprehending illegal crossers from Iran. Yuma Sector agents apprehended eight Iranian nationals in [2020], compared to just 14 from all other border patrol sectors combined. So far in [2021], Yuma Sector agents have apprehend[ed] 14 nationals from Iran,” the agency said. . . .

Last June, Border Patrol agents announced they arrested three Iranian nationals in Del Rio, Texas.

“Agents conducting line watch duties observed three individuals who had just crossed the border illegally,” the agency said. “This group consisted of a mother, father, and child who were later identified as Iranian nationals.” . . .

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed a suit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Feb. 3 after the agency released a memo on Jan. 20 that imposed a 100-day moratorium on some deportations.

“The 100-Day Pause on Deportations includes those charged with or convicted of a crime,” Brnovich said on Twitter. “Law enforcement officials have told our office they are concerned about whether released individuals are being tested for COVID-19.” The suit asks the U.S. District Court in Arizona to rule that the policy violates federal law.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton last month sued the Biden administration over the deportation freeze last week, and U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton on Jan. 26 issued a temporary restraining order that was sought by the attorney general’s office. That blocked Biden’s policy for two weeks ending in late February.

The White House failed “to provide any concrete, reasonable justification for a 100-day pause on deportations,” Judge Tipton wrote.

Just a word of encouragement to spur us to action. No matter what state you live in, illegal crossings into the USA will affect you. It will affect your labor market, your tax base, etc. For those who cross illegally with the intention of coming to America to do harm, they do not stay in the border states only. Their goal is to spread out everywhere.
So we (you) have a direct responsibility to contact your county, state and federal officials to pressure them to stop this. You pay taxes for protection and you have not only a right to demand it but a responsibility to protect your family, property, community and neighbors. So please, don’t wait for someone else to do it. Take action and be relentless in pushing to ensure our laws of protection and safety are upheld.

Thank you Lord for Ken Paxton and his efforts to sue Biden’s policy. I ask that this will be extended to permanent restraint and that deportations of illegals will continue.

    It’s not going away. They know we are under control of fascism communism flat out open borders. America’s sovereign borders have been broken through just as in the Obama era. There is so little our wonder agents can do. Start impeachment proceedings on every level for this rogue socialist Chinese infused regime. One god under one nation unconditional we are the people who have the rights provided by one god. His name is Jesus. Demand rights to our lands Jesus father god. Hold us in your hands bring us back from all foreign invaders. We belong to you. America is yours.
