Border official blasts media for ‘romanticizing’ illegal immigrants while ‘vilifying’ agents trying to protect America

The president of the National Border Patrol Council is frustrated with the way the left will “romanticize” illegal immigrants while Border Patrol agents are “vilified” for simply doing their jobs.

Brandon Judd told “Fox and Friends” Thursday that the portrayal of the agents is “disappointing” amid all the focus on the southern U.S. border.

Judd agreed with President Trump’s suggestion of adding more troops at the U.S.-Mexico border, joining the existing 6,000, in order to deal with the crisis. Alarming new numbers show that more than 103,000 migrants were apprehended or deemed “inadmissible” at the border in March alone.

The president made his comments during a fundraising roundtable in San Antonio, Texas on Wednesday.

“We’re looking at all of our resources being pulled from the field, ” Judd said. “We just don’t have the resources in the field to deal with the numbers of people that are crossing the border. And what we have to look at is the number of people that are actually getting away, evading apprehension. Texas Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz from the same sector said within this fiscal year alone, we have 25,000 people that were able to evade apprehension.”

“Those are people we do not know what their purpose for coming into the United States are. We don’t know where they are from. That’s a very dangerous situation and dynamic we are setting up,” he added.

Trump expressed his frustration with the situation at the border and lamented that the U.S. military he was thinking of sending “can’t act like a military would act.”

“I’m going to have to call up more military. Our military, don’t forget, can’t act like a military would act. Because if they got a little rough, everybody would go crazy,” he said.
Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt asked Judd about the president’s remarks.

“Do you find yourself changing how you do your job down there because you’re worried about how the media will react?” she asked.

“We’re always worried about how the media’s going to react,” Judd admitted, letting out a heavy sigh as he attempted to answer the question.

“It’s so frustrating and disappointing to see that border patrol agents are vilified for strictly enforcing...

234 HOUSE DEMOCRATS, TWO REPUBLICANS CO-SPONSOR BILL FORCING SCHOOLS TO LET MALE ATHLETES COMPETE ON GIRLS’ SPORTS TEAMS

Every House Democrat but one has co-sponsored a bill requiring schools to allow male athletes who identify as transgender girls to compete on female sports teams.

Democrats’ Equality Act would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law. Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.

Sarah Warbelow, director of the left-wing Human Rights Campaign, praised the bill’s impact on high school sports in written testimony submitted to a House subcommittee on Tuesday.

“Opponents of equality in athletics for transgender athletes have argued that girls who are transgender have unfair physiological advantages over cisgender girls and as a result, will dominate women’s competitive sports,” Warbelow wrote, calling it not “rooted in fact” that biologically male athletes will outperform their female counterparts.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a Democrat from New York, made a similar argument during an April 2 hearing his committee held on the legislation.

“Many states have sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination laws, and all of them still have women’s sports. Arguments about transgender athletes participating in sports in accordance with their gender identity having competitive advantages have not been borne out,” Nadler said in his opening statement.

In Connecticut, one of the states to which Nadler was referring, two male runners have dominated girls’ high school track. A female competitor called the male runners’ advantage “demoralizing.”

Previously convicted sex offender from Mexico indicted in East Texas for illegally re-entering US

BEAUMONT, Texas — A 34-year-old Mexican man, who was convicted in 2007 for indecent liberty with a child, was indicted Wednesday for illegally re-entering the United States after deportation.

This investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), and Beaumont Police Department (BPD).

Oscar Rendon-Gonzalez, an illegal alien from Mexico, was indicted April 3 by a federal grand jury charging him with unlawful re-entry of a deported alien.

According to documents filed in court, on March 27, BPD stopped Rendon-Gonzalez for a traffic violation in Beaumont, Texas. A records check revealed that he had a criminal conviction for indecent liberty with a child in North Carolina in 2007 and had been removed to Mexico in 2009.

Responding to the scene, ERO Houston officers arrested Rendon-Gonzalez for illegal re-entry and transferred him to U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) custody to face criminal prosecution for illegal re-entry. The same day, ERO Houston lodged an immigration detainer with USMS on Rendon-Gonzalez.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall L. Fluke, Eastern District of Texas. If convicted, Rendon-Gonzalez faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

It is important to note that an indictment should not be considered as evidence of guilt; all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
