I was thrilled with the selection of Gabbard. I thought that meant intelligence gathering would be fact based and not politically driven.

The TDA connection with the government of Venezuela always seemed a bit farfetched. This reeks of "make the policy, then spin the intelligence to support it" in the future. I hope I'm wrong.

Supposedly Rubio is working on a plan to shrink the NIC staff.

Basically the whole thing needs to be scrapped. It's infested with deep state rats, you can't operate like that. They still have mid and low level plants there.

I suppose starting from the top is the right move. Decapitate and deal with the lower ranks.

-Head of FEMA - fired one day after voicing concerns for shutting down FEMA
-Director of US Copyright Office - fired days after issuing the final part of a report questioning AI's impact on intellectual property and how it relates to big tech
-Acting chair of NIC - Fired the day after issuing a report that went against a key part of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration

Trump 2.0 has done a great job in securing the border.

As for deportation, why are they having to get cute? It's as if Steven Miller discovered the Alien Enemies Act (and its dubious application to TDA) and they figured they would shoehorn anyone they could into that category.

95% of the people they deported under the AEA could have just as easily been deported through regular procedures. The bottleneck is the lack of Immigration Judges to hear cases.

That's all on the Executive Branch to cure. Temporarily hire an additional 3,000 Immigration Judges...Or deputize military lawyers/judges to be temporary Immigration Judges.

This thread is a real TDS circle jerk, no question at all about the authors of what they are reading.

I certainly don't have TDS. I doubt President Trump has anything to do with the Alien Enemies Act. If so, why didn't he try to use it his first term?

In fairness, I don't know anything about the authors...so maybe they're biased. Just common sense wise, the TDA connection with the Venezuelan government seemed off.

I mean, the news is being covered across the board with the report on TDA being mentioned in most all of them.

They were let in based on lies and fraud. I'm hard pressed to care how we get rid of them. The invasion overseen by Biden is a disaster and does nothing but spread misery to thoisands or more innocent citizens. Just get rid of them.

Agree that the scope of the problem is massive, and illegal aliens need to be removed as quickly as possible. In doing so, we don't have to make stuff up such as "TDA is run by the Venezuelan government!" ... when all the evidence points to Maduro viewing TDA as a rival.

People who publicly contradict or undermine their boss usually don’t stay in their job too long.

We dont really know if that's true. Nobody is that far in the Venezuela government. Why wouldn't they be sent here to at the very least become yet another problem for the big dog on the world stage? Castro sent his problems this way during a Democrat dufus' administration.

They are deep state operatives that are making life hard for an outsider …. even though said “outsider” won a massive mandate from We The People

As for what the OP posted, Maduro, and what you said about TdA being rivals...

Yes, TdA are rivals for city-level power to Maduro and he sees them as being the seed pods, town by town for him to lose control of not the countryside as in usual revolutions but in the major cities. His security apparatus can't keep up.

So as far as an invasion, it still is- because he shipped them to us to wound an enemy (us) and remove one from his backyard. In regards to that article/post... some word parsing is going on there. No, Maduro is not directing TdA in the USA. That doesn't mean he didn't give them the all the exit visas they wanted and sent them here. Of course he isn't exerting command and control. The leaders of TdA are.

agree while I think the AEA is fully justified. We are in an asymmetric war. At least the beginnings of one. But let's set that aside.

As long as judges aren't doing de facto asylum for illegals, then setup the administrative courts as you propose or, as I propose, deport them and then setup an administrative judge at the consulate/embassy. Just make them the slowest people on earth. They'll get due process and would be subject to the jurisdiction of US law.

If the left can set asylum hearings 10 years out with "parole w/benefits" the right can deport them and give them 10 years of all the due process they can handle back in their home country.

Fair point. I certainly don't claim to know enough about it to have an educated opinion.
