 1…………> A Warm, Barbed Wire Welcome: US/Mexico Border

.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said it would close lanes at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa crossings from Tijuana into California to allow the Department of Defence to install barbed wire and position barricades and fencing at the country’s southern border, as hundreds of Central American migrants planning to seek asylum in the country reached one of Mexico’s northern-most cities.

About 400 migrants reach the border city of Tijuana, but thousands more are expected, as transgender asylum seeker says she would instead be detained in the US than sent home

Human rights organizations said larger groups were scheduled to arrive in the coming days, as DOD Jim Mattis said he would inspect the area, which would be his first visit since the military announced that over 7,000 US troops would go to the city as the caravan of mostly Hondurans made its way through Mexico.

 4…………> On Mission To Kill Cops: Canadian IS

.

.Amor M. Ftouhi, 51, of Quebec, Canada, was found guilty of three crimes, including an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries, in conjunction with an attack on a Bishop Airport officer in Flint, Michigan on June 21, 2017. “Ftouhi conducted research in Canada and entered our country with a plan to obtain a weapon and kill American police officers. With today’s guilty verdict, he will be held accountable for his brutal knife attack on an airport police officer in Flint,” said Assistant Attorney General Demers. “I want to thank the prosecutors and law enforcement partners who made this result possible. The National Security Division remains committed to holding accountable all who seek to carry out terrorist attacks on our soil and target our men and women in uniform.” According to evidence presented at trial, Ftouhi entered the United States from Canada on a “mission” to kill American police officers in the United States. Before entering the United States on June 16, 2017, while in Canada, Ftouhi conducted online research of American gun laws and for gun shows in Michigan. Ftouhi subsequently traveled to Michigan where he was unsuccessful in repeated attempts to purchase a gun and purchased a knife instead. On June 20, 2017, Ftouhi walked up to the victim, who is a lieutenant with the Flint Bishop Airport police and was in full uniform, and stabbed the police officer in the neck twice with a knife. Ftouhi referenced killings in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and yelled “Allahu Akbar.” After his arrest, Ftouhi told law enforcement that he was a “soldier of Allah,” subscribed to the ideology of Al Qaeda and Usama bin Laden and that he had planned to kill the victim, steal his gun, and kill other police officers in the airport.

2…………> A Challenge To Trump: Caravan

A group of 600 Central American migrants arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, near the US-Mexico border, with the intention to seek asylum in the United States, while AG Sessions warning that he will use all means at his disposal to deport anyone without legal claim for asylum. 

“This has happened in the past, so it’s important to note that this is not a new thing,” Jorge Barón, executive director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project told show hosts Brian Becker and John Kiriakou. 

“This is part of a trend that’s happened over many years of people who are fleeing the area known as the Northern Triangle in Central America, particularly Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, who are escaping very high levels of violence. One of the challenges is the journey to safety in the United States… [it’s] a dangerous one. So rather than travel individually, a number of people have come together, [including] some organizations that have helped them in this process, to make sure that they’re not subjected to some of the dangers, which include things like sexual assault and kidnappings… that’s why they’re in this larger group,” he emphasized.

3………….> MS13 Punks Charged: NJ

A grand jury in Newark, New Jersey returned a seven-count superseding indictment charging six members of the violent street gang MS-13 with racketeering conspiracy, murder, and murder conspiracies, all defendants being citizens of El Salvador, and members of MS-13 or “cliques,” operating in Hudson County, New Jersey. They are identified as follows: Juan Escalante-Melgar, aka Humilde, 28, the former leader of the Pinos Locos Salvatrucha clique (the “Pinos clique”); Elmer Cruz-Diaz, aka Locote, 29, the former leader of the Hudson Locotes Salvatrucha clique (the “Hudson Locotes clique”); Oscar Sanchez-Aguilar, aka Snappy, 22, a member of the Pinos clique and Juan Garcia-Gomez, aka Scooby, 22, a Hudson County MS-13 recruit, and Jose Rivera-Robles, aka Layo, 33, a member of the Hudson Locotes clique. The sixth and final defendant, Christian Linares-Rodriguez, aka Burro or Donkey, 38, is a high-ranking MS-13 member who is currently incarcerated in El Salvador, and who allegedly authorized and directed much of the illegal activity described in the superseding indictment.

“MS-13 is one of the most violent and vicious gangs in America today,” said Attorney General Sessions. 

 “The gang has more than 10,000 members following its barbaric motto of ‘kill, rape, and control’ across 40 states, and that threatens law-abiding Americans. Today’s indictment makes clear that the Trump Administration and this Department will be relentless in taking the fight to MS-13 with every lawful tool at our disposal. I want to thank the FBI, ICE, and DOJ Trial Attorneys for their hard work on this case, part of our aggressive effort to dismantle MS-13 and get its members off our streets for good.”

5…………> “Stormy Bombardment”: Trump

Saying that his personal lawyer Michael Cohen did “absolutely nothing wrong,” President Trump admitted that he represented him “with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal”, after previously denying any knowledge of a payment Mr. Cohen made to the porn actress alleging an affair with Mr. Trump.

“From what I see, he did absolutely nothing wrong. There were no campaign funds going in,” Mr.Trump said.


In addition, Mr.Trump called the Russia investigation a “disgrace,” and defended VA Secretary designee Ronny Jackson MD after allegations against the White House doctor of over-prescribing opiates and drinking on the job.
