Emails Reveal Biden's DHS Still Knowingly Releasing COVID-Positive Border Crossers into U.S.
[Breitbart] Internal emails at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), exclusively reviewed by Breitbart News, reveal that the agency is continuing to knowingly release COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States.

More than a year after Biden’s DHS was first accused of releasing COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior as part of its expansive catch and release operation, the agency is still knowingly carrying out such releases.

The internal emails among Border Patrol (BP) officials reveal recent instances where border crossers and illegal aliens were tested for the Chinese coronavirus and, after having tested positive, were released into the state of Arizona.

On July 26, five female border crossers — at least some of which were COVID-positive — were transported on a bus from DHS custody to the Monte Vista Church, an email shows:

Please ensure that you will take all of the required precautions, including wearing masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and any other personal protective equipment (PPE) that you think essential. [Emphasis added]

This bus will be transported directly to the NGO and will not be stopping at PHO ERO, they will already be served by Yuma BP due to being COVID+. [Emphasis added]

Sources close to Breitbart News said Biden’s DHS is actually not deporting border crossers and illegal aliens when they test positive for coronavirus.

In one of those cases, a husband and wife had been taken into DHS custody after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The wife tested positive for coronavirus while her husband tested negative. As a result, despite both being eligible for Title 42 removal, the COVID-positive wife was allowed to stay in the U.S. while her COVID-negative husband was deported.

In a statement to Breitbart News, a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson said the agency “provides migrants with PPE from the moment they are taken into custody, and migrants are required to keep masks on at all times, including when they are transferred or in the process of being released.”

In August of last year, Former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan estimated that in Biden’s first six months as president, his DHS had potentially released some 40,000 COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior.

At the time, Biden’s DHS was forced to admit in federal court that there had been “significantly increased rates” of COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens arriving at the southern border.

“The rates at which encountered noncitizens are testing positive for COVID-19 have increased significantly in recent weeks … this has led to increasing numbers of CBP personnel being isolated and hospitalized,” DHS’s David Shahoulian admitted in the August 2021 court brief.

From February 2021 to May 2022, more than a million border crossers and illegal aliens have been released into American communities by the Biden administration. Release figures for June and July have not yet been disclosed.

#4  ^^^ It (CoVid) was never a crisis but a political ploy to execute a coup d'état against the sitting President of the United States of America in the election of 2020, to attempt to subvert the "will of the people" for years to come, and to attempt to establish Socialism as opposed to having a constitutional/law based/republic in the USA.

Kamala Harris Loses Another Aid, As Reports Claim She Runs a 'Soul-Destroying' Office
[Townhall] What a lovely lady
For a given value of lady...
Vice President Kamala Harris lost another top staffer this week, as the exodus of her staffers continue.

Herbie Ziskend, a senior communications adviser, announced that he is leaving Harris’s side for the West Wing, where he will be the new White House deputy communications director.

Harris is teetering on the verge of having no staffers as many have walked away amid claims of turmoil and dysfunction.

Ziskend joined the Vice President at the beginning of President Joe Biden’s term, one of the few who have made it this long before finding a new role.

Kate Berner, who is currently in the role Ziskend is taking over, will be promoted to principal deputy communications director.

This comes as the Biden White House attempts to restructure its communications department after former press secretary Jen Psaki left to take on a role at MSNBC.

A few months ago when it seemed like every week a new Harris staffer was departing, then press secretary Jen Psaki claimed that the exodus was a "natural" and "very positive thing" to happen.

"Working in the first year of a White House is exciting and rewarding but it’s also grueling and exhausting," Psaki said at the time.

Despite this, there have been several reports of the atmosphere being tense within Harris’ office, calling her a "bully."

One report deemed her as a "common denominator," claiming that she ran a "soul-destroying" management.

According to the former staffer, Harris often fails to read briefing materials and then lashes out at staff members when she’s the one not prepared.

"It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work... with Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully, and it’s not really clear why," the staffer claimed.

#4  Are there jobs in DC that are not soul destroying? Probably janitors get to keep theirs

#5  I think most people who make it to the upper echelons of gummint these days are more the "soulless" sorts...

#6  Even for the Dems, they've got to be embarrassed or disgusted by this scum bag.

Some good things that might result from this excrement sandwich of an administration: the Dems will never accuse a GOP nominee for prez as "too old" and they might never make fun of Dan Quayle again.

Republican J.D. Vance: Elites like Democrat Tim Ryan Benefit by Destroying American Jobs, Shipping Them to China
[Breitbart] J.D. Vance, the Trump-backed Republican nominee for Ohio’s U.S. Senate seat, told Breitbart News Saturday the Democrat leadership in the country "has benefited from the destruction of what made the country great in the first place."

Vance, on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday this weekend, said that it is a "pretty simple argument" that the current leadership in the county benefit from destroying the country while there has been an increase in inflation, a rise in gas prices, an open border, defunding the police, and shipping American jobs to China.
