Proposed Border Bill Raises Questions About Activation of Border Emergency Authority

Proposed Border Bill , Raises Questions About Activation of , Border Emergency Authority.

'Newsweek' reports that the Senate's proposed $118 billion southern border bill has drawn scrutiny for the number of migrants allowed to enter the country annually.

.

Confusion has reportedly circled around the daily average and the belief it could permit as many as 1.8 million annual migrant crossings.

In December, over 300,000 migrant encounters were reported at the Southwest border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.

The proposed legislation looks to deter the influx of migrants at the border by imposing tougher rules on migration and increasing the number of Border Patrol agents.

'Newsweek' reports that one aspect of the proposed legislation revolves around the activation of border emergency authority.

According to the legislation, Department of Homeland Security , "shall activate the border emergency authority if, during a period of seven consecutive calendar days, there is an average of 5,000 or more aliens who are encountered each day.".

The language of the proposed law has drawn criticism, as a hypothetical 5,000 migrants per day for a 365-day period equals about 1.825 million migrants annually.

Republican Senator James Lankford, one of the bill's co-sponsors, defended the legislation and attempted to clarify the meaning of the Border Emergency Authority.

The emergency authority is not designed to let 5,000 people in, it is designed to close the border and turn 5,000 people around.

The Border Emergency Authority only lasts 3 yrs to force this Admin to shut down the border & to give time for the next POTUS to hire more agents & more officers, James Lankford, Republican Senator, via 'Newsweek'.

After three years, the emergency authority expires because we should have regained full control of our border by then, James Lankford, Republican Senator, via 'Newsweek'

U.S. Braces for July 4 Terror Attack: FBI & DHS on HIGH ALERT as Iran-Backed Revenge Threat Looms [Video]

U.S. Braces for July 4 Terror Attack: FBI & DHS on HIGH ALERT as Iran-Backed Revenge Threat Looms

Ahead of the United States' Independence Day celebrations, federal agencies have issued a serious warning about potential terrorist attacks, specifically from lone wolf actors. This elevated threat level is a direct consequence of escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. has become more involved in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The situation intensified after U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers conducted a major operation on June 22, dropping heavy bunker buster bombs on three of Iran's nuclear facilities in a strategic move to aid Israel. In response to the potential for retaliatory attacks, security has been visibly bolstered across the country. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has identified lone wolves as the "greatest threat" to July 4th events, announcing an increased presence of State Police and the deployment of National Guard units at major transportation hubs, bridges, and tunnels throughout New York City. Authorities are also closely monitoring social media for any signs of cyber threats or domestic terror plots. The threat is not limited to New York. An FBI bulletin has specifically warned that San Francisco's famous fireworks show could be a target for a mass casualty attack. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially raised the national threat level to "Heightened" and stated it will remain in effect until September 22, citing the direct link to the escalating conflict between Iran and the U.S. While no specific or credible plots have been identified, federal and state agencies remain on high alert to counter any security situation that may arise during the holiday. #USTerrorAlert #July4th #USIranConflict #BreakingNews #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #KathyHochul #LoneWolf #MiddleEast #DHS ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~

U.S. Migrant Eats Himself VIDEO: Kristi Noem's Bizarre Claims Says “Migrants Are Cannibals' [Video]

U.S. Migrant Eats Himself VIDEO: Kristi Noem's Bizarre Claims Says “Migrants Are Cannibals'

In a shocking revelation, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed that a migrant attempted to eat his own arms mid-air during a deportation flight. The disturbing incident was cited to defend President Donald Trump’s controversial mass deportation program and the rapid construction of the new “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention facility in the Florida Everglades. Speaking alongside Trump, Noem described the detainee as a “self-proclaimed cannibal” and warned that U.S. law enforcement is targeting the "worst of the worst" in ongoing removals. The Department of Homeland Security has yet to verify the account. This explosive moment comes just days after Trump’s new mega-prison for undocumented immigrants began operations — and as the 2026 election season heats up. Critics say the story is fear-mongering. Supporters say it's proof of the threat posed by open borders. #KristiNoem #TrumpDeportation #CannibalMigrant #AlligatorAlcatraz #ImmigrationCrisis #MigrantFlight #ICEDeportation #FloridaNews #BreakingNews #USPolitics #HomelandSecurity #Trump2025 ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~

Trump In Epstein Trouble: Obama Ready To KNOCK OUT Trump Ahead Of Midterms | Musk Snubs Trump On X [Video]

Trump In Epstein Trouble: Obama Ready To KNOCK OUT Trump Ahead Of Midterms | Musk Snubs Trump On X

Trump In Epstein Trouble: A major rift has appeared within the MAGA movement as supporters turn on President Donald Trump. The controversy ignited after Trump publicly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, a move seen by many conservatives as a dismissal of concerns surrounding the recently unsealed Epstein files. This defense has triggered an unprecedented backlash from his own base. The fallout has been swift and visual. Influential conservative figures have condemned Trump's stance, and viral videos have spread across social media showing die-hard supporters burning their MAGA hats and other merchandise in protest. This public display of disillusionment signals a deep fracture within what was once Trump's most loyal demographic. As Trump scrambles to control the narrative with a 400-word post on Truth Social urging unity, even figures like Elon Musk have taken public jabs at him over the issue. Sensing a critical moment of weakness, the Democratic party is moving quickly to capitalize on the Republican infighting. Former President Barack Obama is set to return to the political frontline, headlining a major fundraiser in New Jersey this Friday alongside DNC Chair Ken Martin. This event, Obama's first since the 2024 election, is designed to rally the Democratic base and frame the GOP's internal conflict as a major liability ahead of the crucial 2026 midterm elections. This report from Oneindia News breaks down the timeline of the MAGA backlash, Trump's attempts at damage control, and the strategic moves being made by Barack Obama and the Democrats.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter during a Texas flood roundtable, calling the question about lack of early warnings “very evil.” Visiting Central Texas following massive flash floods that left over 100 dead, Trump praised FEMA and Governor Greg Abbott’s response team, pledging swift federal aid.
