ICE Deportations Cause Firestorm

The round-up of criminal illegal Immigrants began over the weekend as ICE resumed its previously announced plans. Those targeted have been reviewed by a court and ordered to be deported. In February, ICE sent letters to arrange for an orderly process of deportation, but only three percent of the illegals responded.

There is tremendous push-back from open-border politicians and state and local police forces across the country who are refusing to share data bases even of those who are car thieves, rapists, and murders, etc. In one case, an illegal who was arrested ten times is being protected by the San Francisco police.

President Trump, who announced the deportations two weeks ago, is being blamed for causing an uproar. Yet, tweets like these continue to suggest that laws should be ignored.

Meanwhile, protestors in several cities pushed back against the rule of law.

• Protestors at an ICE facility in Aurora, Colorado, took down the American flag and raised the Mexican flag. They also defaced a Blue Lives Matter flag that supports law enforcement and flew it upside down next the Mexican flag. Officials promptly replaced it with Old Glory.
• Sixteen protestors outside the Phoenix ICE office were arrested for unlawful assembly. They blocked traffic and shut down the light-rail system. Two face charges of aggravated assault on a police officer.
• An armed man was shot and killed by police when he attacked an ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington. The man, said to be an anarchist and member of Antifa, had a rifle and threw incendiary devices at both the facility and at nearby police, at one point setting a vehicle on fire and trying to cause a tank to explode. Police called out to him before shots were fired. Deb Bartley, who is a friend of the attacker, said, “He was ready to end it. I think this was a suicide, but then he was able to kind of do it in a way that spoke to his political beliefs. I know he went down there knowing he was going to die.”

“Are You a Citizen of the US?”

The President and Attorney General William Barr announced last week that the question of citizenship will not be on the 2020 census. There are three separate lawsuits against the administration aiming to prevent the question, and although the Supreme Court affirmed the right to ask the question, more explanation must be provided. Delays caused by providing more explanation would have kept the census from being done on time.

A new option will be undertaken via executive order. President Trump ordered every agency within the federal government to furnish records to the Commerce Department to provide an accurate count of:

• Number of citizens
• Number of non-citizens
• Number of illegal immigrants

This will provide information for 90 percent or more of the population and will be far more accurate than via the census, according to the President.

Justice Strikes Back

On Monday, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security announced a new rule that migrants who cross the southern border will not be eligible for asylum in the US unless they apply in the first safe country they enter.

The rule will be finalized Tuesday. It is not retroactive, but it will stop the flood of Central American migrants who cross through Mexico and other countries before reaching the U.S.

Why this Matters: Taxpayers shell out $2,125/month in benefits to each refugee resettled in the United States. Social Security recipients who have paid into the system their whole live receive $1,400/month on average. The laws need to be fixed and Americans should be protected from having to support noncitizens.

How to Pray: That God would take up our case, whatever that looks like. Thank Him for providing men and women who are willing to put their lives on the line for our safety.

The Epstein File and NYC Power Outage

Jeffrey Epstein, the man with friends in high places, was arrested July 6 for running a pedophile ring with his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, who acted as his recruiter. His private island in the US Virgin Islands has been seized by authorities. This is the location with a “temple” and occult symbolism.

• Judge Richard M. Berman will decide bail on Thursday
• Investigators found piles of cash, dozens of diamonds, and an expired passport with Epstein’s picture and a fake name in a locked safe in his Manhattan mansion. It lists his place of residence as Saudi Arabia
• Labor Secretary Alex Acosta announced his resignation after questions about his involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s very lenient plea agreement of 2008 over child sex abuse and trafficking. Acosta says that he was ordered to do so by people at “higher pay grades” at the Justice Department. Robert Mueller was FBI Director at that time under George W. Bush.
• The stock value of L Brands, the parent company for Victoria’s Secret and Bath and Body Works fell ten percent when it was revealed that Epstein was CEO Les Wexner’s money manager.
• Epstein wired $3.5 million to the Clinton Foundation and $25,000 to a second Clinton Charity prior to 2007, according to a leak of Swiss banking information.
• The Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, which is owned by Epstein, was investigated by the New Mexico state attorney general’s office after one of his victims filed a lawsuit in 2015, saying she had been abused at that property.

Just a coincidence?

New York City had a major power outage on Saturday–due to a transformer fire–and there are quite a few coincidences, some related to Epstein:

• Power was lost from 42nd Street to 71st Street
• The area includes the Manhattan facility holding pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and
• Mexican drug kingpin El Chapo. Epstein’s cell is three doors down from El Chapo’s.
• Epstein’s townhome at 9 East 7th Street is just steps away from the outage
• Saturday was the 42nd anniversary of the 1977 power outage.
• Initially, it was reported that 42,000 people lost power.
• The Clintons were in town for the Friday night Billy Joel concert. He is the 42nd president and she is 71 years old. When a picture of them was put on the giant screen, they were booed.

The only thing that stayed “lit” during the outage was an electronic American flag in Times Square.

How to Pray: Thank God for the daily arrests of pedophiles and other abusers. Ask Him to continue the work of exposing evil. Pray for the wicked, that they will hear God’s offer of forgiveness and salvation.

Ps. 46:1 – God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
