At this point it’s not funny how this happens.  In reality those who follow DC events will note this is almost an exact replay of earlier Lawfare battles surrounding the FISA warrant public release. Same characters, same arguments, same players, same corrupt intents. [Redacted DOJ Filing Here]

In 2017/2018 the issue was corrupt DC interests arguing for the public release of a top secret classified document, the title-1 FISA surveillance warrant used against Carter Page.  The warrant was already leaked to the media on March 17, 2017, when the lawfare assembly later wanted to exploit it.

In the 2026 re-run, the issue surrounds the DHS/HSI search warrant executed against Ilhan Omar.  The DOJ wants to keep it sealed until the warrant has been fully executed, implying there are alternative parties who have been requested to provide additional information.  The Lawfare group want the search warrant details released to the public now so the allied group can organize and exploit public defenses.

Neither the FISA warrant nor a HSI search warrant had/have ever been released prior to full execution therein. DC Judge James Boasberg, a horrible man of intemperate and corrupt disposition, will now decide the release of the latter.

WASHINGTON – […] The battle over whether to unseal the search warrant comes amid two separate federal investigations into the Democratic congresswoman stemming from concerns about discrepancies between financial disclosures filed a year apart and allegations that her father committed fraud when completing immigration paperwork. Omar immigrated to the United States from Somalia in 1995, when she was 12 years old. Investigators are examining whether her father misstated her age on his citizenship paperwork in 2000, potentially allowing her to obtain citizenship through him as a minor.

But the fight over whether to unseal the records is being overseen by Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, an Obama appointee and longtime target of Trump.

Despite CBS and 60-Minutes being under new ownership and producers, they are once again facing scrutiny for selectively editing a broadcast segment about illegal alien deportation in order to shape a sympathetic narrative.

However, to their credit CBS/60-Minutes did agree to upload the full interview with DHS General Counsel James Percival to YouTube even though they never broadcast the full context of Percival’s responses to their questions.  Here is the full segment that was highly edited before airing.  WATCH:

A congressional representative currently named Ilhan Omar, previously known as Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, is facing mounting scrutiny about her personage and immigration status following federal investigators raiding her residence and taking volumes of evidence including her cell phone.

US Attorney in Washington DC, Jeanine Pirro has confirmed that Ilhan Omar’s legal name is actually Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and it appears her family committed immigration fraud to enter the U.S, gain permanent residence and eventually citizenship.

Pirro noted in a Fox interview the DOJ is concerned about “whether or not she has followed the laws as it relates to the use of these names,” indicating that they are focused on fraud in her immigration paperwork. Whether her status is legal likely depends on whether she fraudulently obtained citizenship.

According to media reports, Federal agents have obtained “Omar’s” DNA, which can be used to prove that she is living under a false identity and that she previously married her brother in order to get him status in the U.S.  Her real identity as Ilhan Nur Said Elmi appears to link her to her former husband through a shared birth name.

Following widespread media interest about the search warrant used by federal agents, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has petitioned the court to temporarily seal the search warrant [SEE pdf below].

A massive win for President Trump, DHS, ICE and all Americans who support the detention and deportation of illegal aliens.  In a 10-7 full panel decision the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that all illegal aliens can be detained while awaiting deportation and/or while their immigration proceedings are carried out. [SEE RULING HERE]

This is a critical ruling by the entire 5th CCA because it grants DHS/ICE the ability to detain all illegal aliens regardless of their length of time in country or developed connections to the U.S.

[SOURCE]

WASHINGTON – A divided federal appeals court ruled Friday that thousands of ICE detainees being held in Texas have no rights to seek release on bond — even if they’ve been held for months or years while their immigration proceedings play out.

The full bench of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded 10-7 that Congress had intended to restrict the availability of release for people facing potential deportation, even if they have lived in the U.S. for years without criminal records and had attended their Immigration and Customs Enforcement check-ins.

The decision is the most consequential ruling yet in support of the Trump administration’s unprecedented, year-old policy of mandatory detention for those who entered the country without permission — even if they had developed decades-long roots in the country, with U.S. citizen spouses and children.

This ruling will put additional pressure on illegal aliens to self-deport ahead of capture.

Jay Clayton, Director of National Intelligence and Super Intelligence Force Chairman, joined CNBC to discuss the key takeaways from the SI task force’s first meeting, the state of the AI tech race, an OpenAI espionage case, and more.

DNI Clayton outlines the current status of the SI taskforce and how the Trump administration is setting parameters for development standards. It is an interesting conversation about the current regulatory status of SI.

The political left is going bananas, the socialists are having fits, the Islamists are in a rage and the communists are apoplectic about the news that federal law enforcement has executed a search warrant at the home of Representative Ilhan Omar.  However, there are no specific details about the nature of the federal action.

The warrant could be about immigration issues (fraud) related to Ilhan Omar’s rather sketchy background of marrying her brother, or the warrant could be connected to a longer investigation started during the Biden administration about Omar’s finances, fake wine company and campaign funding mechanisms {Go Deep}.

There is a lot of sketchy stuff that swirls around Ilhan Omar, and despite the knee-jerk reaction surrounding immigration fraud, the federal action could be part of any number of issues.

New York Times – Federal agents executed a search warrant at the home of Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota on Monday, according to three people briefed on the matter, the kind of investigative step the Justice Department has long shied away from so close to an election.

The court-approved search of her Washington-area home comes after Department of Homeland Security officials said in recent months that they were investigating Ms. Omar, a Democrat, over her family’s immigration paperwork. More recently, some federal investigators have also sought to investigate other issues, such as Ms. Omar’s finances, campaign funds and interactions with a foreign citizen, as The New York Times previously reported.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin appears on CNN to reject the false premise established by Narrative Engineer Jake Tapper.  Unfortunately for the constantly furrowed brow host, the facts of the events do not align with the attempted narrative. The result ends with a conversation about the delicate sensibilities of the illegal alien with a long felony record.

This one is worth watching.  Good job by Secretary Mullin:

The Supreme Court majority (6-3) has granted the DOJ request to put on hold a Boston-based US District Judge ruling that DHS policy to remove illegal aliens to so-called third countries is unlawful.  The process of rapid deportation will continue while the matter is called before the Supreme Court for oral arguments in December (ruling in ’27).

[SOURCE LINK]

The three DEI Justices, Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan did not support the ruling.  They would have denied the ability to deport illegal aliens to third-party countries.

REUTERS – […] The Supreme Court previously sided with the administration in the legal challenge, suspending a preliminary order that Murphy issued earlier in the case halting the removals. In another win for the administration, the Supreme Court subsequently lifted limits the judge had imposed to protect a group of men from being sent to South Sudan.

President Trump emphasizes the importance of the western hemisphere and Latin America by participating in a second meeting of the “Shield of Americas” team.  The objective of the assembly is to secure the western hemisphere, coordinate economic, political, and security efforts among participating countries to strengthen judicial practices, improve investment opportunities, and build hemispheric partnerships. The shield emphasizes intelligence sharing and coordinated operations to locate and dismantle drug cartel networks and associated criminal infrastructure.

Structure and Operations: The Shield of the Americas functions as a head-of-state level organization, working closely with the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C), which is led by USSOUTHCOM and focuses on military and security operations against cartels. The coalition’s operational arm, the Americas Counter Cartel Conference, brings together defense and security ministers from member states to coordinate strategies against drug trafficking, organized crime, and threats to critical infrastructure. Participating countries gain access to U.S. military equipment, training, intelligence, and surveillance capabilities, including support from the U.S. Space Force’s Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking system.
