Attorney General Jeff Sessions said.

“We are not going to let this country be invaded!

We will not be stampeded!

We will not capitulate to lawlessness!

This is NOT business as usual.

This is the Trump era!," the Attorney General said.

President Trump Deports Nazi War Criminal.
8/21/18
Early this morning, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) implemented a 2004 order of deportation to the Federal Republic of Germany of Jakiw Palij, a former Nazi SS labor camp guard in German-occupied Poland and a postwar resident of Queens, New York.
President Trump commends his Administration’s comprehensive actions, especially ICE’s actions, in removing this war criminal from United States soil. Despite a court ordering his deportation in 2004, past administrations were unsuccessful in removing Palij. To protect the promise of freedom for Holocaust survivors and their families, President Trump prioritized the removal of Palij.
Through extensive negotiations, President Trump and his team secured Palij’s deportation to Germany and advanced the United States’ collaborative efforts with a key European ally.
Palij had lied about being a Nazi and remained in the United States for decades.
Palij’s removal sends a strong message: The United States will not tolerate those who facilitated Nazi crimes and other human rights violations, and they will not find a safe haven on American soil.
Palij, who was born in what was then Poland and is now Ukraine, immigrated to the United States in 1949 and became a United States citizen in 1957. During the United States immigration and naturalization process, he concealed his Nazi service and his participation in human rights abuses. Palij lied to United States immigration officials, saying that he had spent World War II working on a farm and in a factory.
In 2001, Palij admitted to officials at the Department of Justice that he trained in 1943 at the Nazi SS Training Camp in Trawniki, in German-occupied Poland. Court documents demonstrated that men who trained at the SS Training Camp in Trawniki participated in executing “Operation Reinhard,” a code name for the Third Reich’s plan to murder Jews in Poland. Palij also served as an armed guard at the adjacent Trawniki Labor Camp. On November 3, 1943, approximately 6,000 Jewish children, women, and men who were incarcerated at the adjacent Trawniki Labor Camp were shot to death in one of the single largest massacres of the Holocaust. By serving as an armed guard at the Trawniki Labor Camp and preventing the escape of Jewish prisoners during his Nazi service, Palij played an indispensable role in ensuring that the Trawniki Jewish victims met their horrific fate at the hands of the Nazis.
In August 2003, a federal judge revoked Palij’s United States citizenship based on his wartime activities, human rights abuses, and postwar immigration fraud.
He was ordered deported in 2004, and his administrative appeal was denied in 2005.
The United States government has prioritized the identification, prosecution and deportation of Nazi war criminals since the 1970s.

Underreported: The Santa Fe School Shooting Survivors the Media Ignored, as usual.
8/5/18 by: Kelsey Harkness
Grace says she opened the door to see a bunch of people screaming: “Then I heard a really loud noise, and that’s when I saw somebody go down. I don’t know if it was a kid, I don’t know if it was a teacher—but somebody fell.”
SANTA FE, Texas—On May 18, Grace John woke up late as usual.
“Everybody talks about senioritis, but it’s real,” she told The Daily Signal.
Grace, a senior at Santa Fe High School, located an hour outside of Houston, was looking forward to cruising through her last few days of high school. That day, she walked into the band room, and told a friend she was going to take a nap because she was sore from playing in the powder puff game the night before.
She woke up to commotion in the hallway, and walked into the hallway to see what was going on. “I thought there was a fight going on, and I’m nosy,” she said.
Grace opened the door to see a bunch of people screaming: “Then I heard a really loud noise, and that’s when I saw somebody go down.”
“I don’t know if it was a kid, I don’t know if it was a teacher—but somebody fell.”
Grace had witnessed yet another mass school shooting in the United States. The shooting at her high school occurred just over three months after Parkland, where a 19-year-old man gunned down students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, murdering 17 students and teachers.
The Parkland students have been credited for changing the gun debate. Students such as David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez took on the National Rifle Association, launched the NeverAgain movement, and organized rallies and walkouts across the country.
At Santa Fe High School, 10 people died—eight students and two teachers. The suspected shooter, a 17-year-old male student at the school, allegedly used a stolen shotgun and revolver from his father. He also allegedly brought in explosive devices.
Grace was lucky to make it out alive. The band hall, where she and her fellow band students took cover, is located right next to the art rooms, where the shooting took place.
“We could hear all the gunshots,” she said. “We could feel it in the floor.”
After a while, the shooting stopped and law enforcement arrived to escort Grace and the remaining students out from the band room, where they were hiding in the cement air conditioning control room.
“They said, ‘Don’t look down because you’re going to see a lot,’” Grace said. “Nobody really can prepare you for that.”
Walking in a single-file line, Grace saw pools of blood and kids laying on the floor. “Dead kids,” she said.
“That was the first time that it hit me. Even though I had seen what I’d seen, it hadn’t hit me.”
“I remember accidentally stepping in some of the blood,” Grace added. “I looked down and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t even know whose this is.’”
Before she even made it out safely, Grace said she was met with a handful of reporters asking for first-hand accounts. She said they found her location on social media.
“I was being contacted while I was in shelter by news outlets trying to figure out what was going on, when I didn’t even know if I was going to make it out of there alive,” she said.
Grace, 18, said she understands that it’s their job. “But let us take some time to process the fact that 10 of our peers have just died. Let us go to these funerals and mourn, and understand that our lives are completely changed now.”
Once she did engage, Grace said she didn’t feel the media treated her or her community fairly.
“They came to our town expecting us to throw these rallies, and march for our lives, and lay on the ground with posters. That’s not what we’re doing,” she said. “We don’t want to wait around and protest for change. We want change, but we don’t want outsiders coming in and forcing it upon us.”
‘It’s Not Solely a Gun Issue’
“Santa Fe is a very country town that probably has more livestock than people,” Grace said, describing the Galveston County town that’s home to some 12,200 people. “Most of everybody here has grown up with guns, or seen a gun, or shot a gun.”
A small handful of people in Santa Fe responded to the shooting with calls for gun reform. But most, it appears, stood firm in their support for the Second Amendment.
“I think what people need to realize is that it’s not solely a gun issue,” said Grace, adding:
You can’t make stricter gun laws or stuff like that and expect it all to go away. People will break the rules if they want to. It’s illegal for a 17-year-old to have a gun. It’s illegal to kill people. It’s illegal to have a gun on campus. But people still do it."
So making stricter gun laws isn’t going to stop people from doing it. Even if you were to take guns off this entire earth, somebody could come in with a knife. Somebody could put anthrax in all the ketchup packets in school. It’s going to happen regardless if somebody has the motive.
“This boy tried making bombs,” Annabelle O’Day, 18, another survivor of the Santa Fe shooting, told The Daily Signal. “If there were bombs that had gone off, you blame the bomber. If there is a drunk-driver accident, you blame the drunk driver. You blame the person. You blame the human. But if it’s a shooter, you blame the gun. That’s what society is doing here.”
It’s because of their support for the Second Amendment that, compared to Parkland, many say the media has ignored them.
“You look at the mainstream media … after the Parkland shooting, and it was round-the-clock coverage of the students calling for aggressive gun control because that happens to be the political agenda of most of the media,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told The Daily Signal in an interview in May.
“In this case, where the students aren’t calling for that, suddenly … the media isn’t interested in covering it,” he added.
“I think everyone knows that the media portrays a certain political agenda that they choose to go with—it’s that simple,” said Steve Rose, a history teacher who survived the shooting. “It’s not a political agenda that the majority of Santa Fe adheres to. I want all schools safe. That’s it. We can agree to disagree on how to go about doing it. I’m open to different solutions, but our schools have to be safe.”
“A lot of us do believe that there is a problem,” added Annabelle. “It’s just that what we believe in being the problem is not the same as media. A lot of us do want change. Most everyone’s change is just not gun reform, but nobody sticks around long enough to ask us what that is.”
‘I Think We Need to Lock Doors’
“If you take the gun issue away, we’re all fighting for the same thing,” said Grace, speaking about the Santa Fe students and the Parkland students. “We all want change.”
Instead of focusing on guns, Grace supports a national dialogue surrounding school safety.
“I think we need to lock doors. This door that [the shooter] came in was a bus entrance that was unlocked,” she said. “I think we need more police presence. We have three school cops at my high school and I see them sometimes in passing periods, but mainly I only see them at lunch.”
Beyond that, Grace supports the idea of arming teachers.
“It shouldn’t have to be an option, but unfortunately we’re at a place where it has to be an option,” she said.
Across the country, hundreds of schools already have armed teachers and staff.
In Texas, some public school systems have been arming teachers and administrators for more than a decade. But in the wake of high-profile mass shootings, the idea has become a political and emotional sticking point.
For Grace, the prospect is personal. After graduating college, she hopes to become a teacher:
Protecting your students from a school shooter should never be part of the job description. It should never be your job is to teach the curriculum, and test your students, and also be willing to take a bullet for them. That should never be the case, but I’m willing to take that risk because who wouldn’t?
Rose, who began his teaching career in 1979, said he’s thought “long and hard” about arming teachers.
“I don’t think that’s the end-all by any stretch. I don’t think it’s the magic answer. But I will say this. I truly wanted that pistol in my hand on that day.”
“Just speaking generally for me, I would do whatever training is involved,” he added. “All that would have to be done, but let’s face it, it’s another line of defense against evil.”
Annabelle, who strongly supports Second Amendment rights, worked with two friends to start a nonprofit, Hearts United for Kindness. The goal is to spread kindness and love while raising awareness for mental health.
“We believe that mental health is a big deal. We have to change people’s hearts and people’s minds, how people see each other,” Annabelle said.
‘We Are Thoughts And Prayers’
Nearly three months later, Santa Fe is still grappling with the fallout of such a massive tragedy in the rural, small town.
“You drive past the high school and you think, ‘Why us? How did this happen?’” said Annabelle. “A lot of us are Christians, so a lot of us have been leaning on God a lot during this time.”
Some now mock the role of “thoughts and prayers” in responding to school shootings. But Annabelle said that “most everyone in this town does want thoughts and prayers.”
“We are thoughts and prayers,” she said, describing the Santa Fe community.
This fall, both Annabelle and Grace will attend college.
Grace, battling PTSD from the shooting, had to quit her summer job at a restaurant because the dishes banging in the backroom reminded her of gunshots. Now, she’s unsure how she’ll pay for tuition:
It’s hard to think that that happened at our school because we’re such a tight-knit community. It’s hard to think that the fine arts wing is never going to be the same, the students in the fine arts wing are never going to be the same. We saw things that people shouldn’t ever have to see.
Although things will never be the same, Rose will return to Santa Fe this fall to teach for his 12th year.
“Santa Fe will bounce back. We will be stronger than ever because to not do so, allows evil to win. No one in our community will even consider that.”
Beyond that, Grace supports the idea of arming teachers.
“It shouldn’t have to be an option, but unfortunately we’re at a place where it has to be an option,” she said.

Trump DOJ Slams Sanctuary City For Giving Child Rapist 'Free Pass'.
8/10/18 by: AAN Staff
Philadelphia's political leaders find themselves in the crosshairs of the Trump administration for a crime spree committed by illegal immigrants that local law enforcement released in defiance of ICE requests.
Adam Shaw, at Fox News, has more:
The Justice Department this week highlighted the case of child rapist Juan Ramon Vasquez, who just pleaded guilty to illegal re-entry.
The illegal immigrant from Honduras previously was in Philadelphia custody on local charges back in 2014. But when those charges were dropped a year later, city officials ignored an ICE detainer.
Vasquez was later arrested and convicted for raping a child and unlawful sexual contact with a minor.
He is now serving between eight and 20 years in prison.
“The facts of this case highlight the danger posed by the City of Philadelphia’s decision to disregard ICE detainers and release previously deported aliens from local custody,” U.S. Attorney William McSwain said in a statement, accusing Philadelphia of giving Vasquez a “free pass.”
Initially deported in 2009, Vasquez subsequently returned to the U.S.

**** EXPLAIN THIS TO ME? ****
islamic Extremists Granted Bail in New Mexico Case.
8/14/18 by: AAN Staff
Despite the prosecution's pleas – arguing the fortified compound islamic extremists held starving children in, to train them as school shooters – made them undeserving of bail, a New Mexico judge granted all five defendants that option.
Last week, New Mexico sheriffs raided the heavily-fortified camp where the accused allegedly held 11 starving children against their will.
“I’ve been working this job for 30 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe told the Santa Fe New Mexican.
Local law enforcement swooped into action after Officers received a message believed to have originated inside the compound saying, “We are starving and need food and water.”
Per the New York Post:
Three women and two men, ages 35 to 40, will wear ankle monitors and be under house arrest if they can post $20,000 bond each, the judge ruled in Taos.
Deputy District Attorney Timothy Hasson told the court that the suspects were up to no good, saying, “This was not a camping trip and this was not a simple homestead of the kind that many people do in New Mexico.”
One of the suspects, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, is the son of Brooklyn cleric Siraj Wahhaj, who has been linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Authorities found the body of a little boy at the compound. Imam Wahhaj believes the child is his grandson.

8/17/18 by: AAN Staff
Firefighters found Luis Guerrero's mangled body in one of the latest horrific crimes to hit the City of Chicago.
The teenager's body was strangled, stabbed, burned, and run over by a car.
CBS 2 reports:
CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar reports the horrific final moments for a Chicago teen, police say, killed by peers his own age. Friends of Guerrero say he moved to West Chicago from Mexico in fifth grade. They describe him as a good friend and student.
“I’m extremely sad to know that he had to suffer so much because he was burned alive,” said Jose Ramirez, a friend of Guerrero.
Police say 18-year-old Francisco Alvarado and 16-year-old Tia Brewer, a former girlfriend, met the victim at the library where the pair allegedly strangled Guerrero with a belt, stabbed him several times in the neck, and then drove him to the field. Jesus Correa was also charged.
Investigators say Guerrero was doused in gasoline, provided by Correa, and set on fire. In a struggle for his life, Guerrero tried running away, but Alvarado and Brewer allegedly ran him over in a Jeep Cherokee, returning Guerrero to the fire pit, under a bench, and once again igniting his body on fire.
Police found the suspects hiding in a Chicago motel with the murder weapons and escape plans.

8/17/18 by: AAN Staff
Last week, law enforcement raided a ramshackle camp where five islamic extremists had allegedly abused 11 children and trained them for school shootings.
The remains of a 3-year-old boy were found amidst the rubble.
“I’ve been working this job for 30 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe told the Santa Fe New Mexican.
On Tuesday, a New Mexico judge granted bail to all five defendants – despite the prosecution's pleas.
Now, authorities have inexplicably destroyed the compound.

Report: FBI Agent Peter Strzok Escorted Out of Headquarters!
7/19/18 by KRISTINA WONG
FBI agent peter strzok, who sent text messages expressing bias against President Donald Trump, was escorted out of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s headquarters on Tuesday as part of disciplinary action, according to multiple reports.
FBI agent peter strzok, who sent text messages expressing bias against President Donald Trump, was escorted out of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s headquarters on Friday as part of disciplinary action, according to multiple reports.
strzok’s lawyer, Aitan Goelman, issued a statement that said strzok “remains a proud FBI agent who wants to continue working to keep the American people safe.”
Goelman said strzok was the target of “unfounded personal attacks, political games and inappropriate information leaks.”
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz last week released a report that said strzok had sent a text message that indicated a “biased state of mind” and a “willingness to act” against Trump’s election.
Former FBI lawyer lisa page, who also worked on the killary clinton email investigation, sent strzok a message in August 2016 that said: “Trump’s not ever going to become president, right? Right?!”
strzok, who was the lead investigator on both the clinton email investigation and the Trump-Russia investigation, responded: “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it.”
Horowitz’s report said investigators did not have confidence that strzok’s bias did not play a role in his lack of action in the fall of 2016, when FBI agents in New York discovered thousands of killary clinton emails on aide huma abedin’s husband anthony weiner’s laptop.
