Border Patrol RESCUES Chinese and Mexican nationals locked into train car by smugglers, CBP says



Border Patrol agents rescued four illegal immigrants who had been found locked inside a railcar in Texas, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

CBP said exclusively to Blaze News that two other migrants had been found in a similarly locked railcar just one week previously, but one was deceased.

'No one should believe the lies of smugglers who say they can provide safety, because they only care about the money they can gain by exploiting vulnerable people.'

The rescued migrants were identified as three Mexican nationals and one Chinese national.

They were discovered just before dawn on Sept. 16 by Border Patrol agents of the Uvalde station who were inspecting freight cars at a secondary rail near Knippa.

A Border Patrol canine alerted agents about an autorack car carrying automobiles. When they inspected it, they found four people locked inside without any means of escape.

The migrants were taken to the Uvalde Station for processing, according to CBP.

The incident was the fourth time in recent weeks that illegal aliens were found locked into autorack train cars at the Del Rio sector, including the lethal incident on Sept. 11.

On Sept. 7, agents rescued three others locked into a train car at the same secondary rail.

And on August 30, they rescued eight people locked inside a train car, including a child, at that rail.

"This is the work of criminal alien smugglers who have no regard for human life," said Anthony "Scott" Good, a Del Rio Sector chief patrol agent.

"Doors on freight cars are locked externally, and migrants are trapped for an indefinite amount of time without food or water," he added. "No one should believe the lies of smugglers who say they can provide safety because they only care about the money they can gain by exploiting vulnerable people."

The Homeland Security Investigations office is still investigating the lethal Sept. 11 incident.

The Sept. 7 incident involved a Mexican national, one Nicaraguan, and one Honduran, according to CBP.

"Attempts to make illegal entry via trains have historically had tragic results," said Good after that incident. "U.S. Border Patrol urges anyone considering such rash action to understand their decision could result in disaster."

Pro-amnesty Utah Republican introduces last-ditch bill to import more migrants



Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah) is demanding more migrants.

A new bill from Curtis and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), the State Sponsored Visa Pilot Program Act of 2026, would allow states to circumvent federal immigration law to import foreign workers. As an amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act, the bill aims to allow migrants and their families to secure state-sponsored visas for three-year terms.

'Hispanic businesses disproportionately operate in industries that heavily rely on immigrant labor.'

Utah wanted to implement a similar state-level migrant worker visa policy in 2011, when President Barack Obama was still in his first term. The state even sought "waivers" from the federal government to do so, but federal approval never materialized.

“Utah employers tell me time and again how difficult it's become to find enough workers to meet growing demands,” Curtis said in a Monday X post. “Our bill allows states to sponsor visas tailored to their unique workforce needs, while ensuring rigorous federal vetting and accountability.”

Although the Department of Homeland Security would retain final authority to approve each state’s visa criteria and program, the bill also authorizes interstate compacts allowing migrant workers to move freely among participating states.

States would initially receive 5,000 visas per fiscal year, according to the bill. Another 245,000 visas plus 5,000 visas for every nonparticipating state and unused or revoked visas from previous years would also be pooled together and distributed to participating states.

The bill characterizes the visa program as "nonimmigrant," but there are no provisions prohibiting visa-holders from applying for citizenship once in the country.

Kelly and the DHS did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

The bill has been endorsed by multiple Hispanic organizations, including UnidosUS, the U.S. Hispanic Business Council, and the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

“Hispanic-owned small businesses understand firsthand both the economic contributions of immigrant workers and the need for a lawful, secure, and accountable process,” U.S. HBC President Javier Palomarez said in his endorsement.

When Blaze News asked whether the bill was an ethnic carveout, a U.S. HBC spokesperson replied, "It is not that. This is an endorsement of a potential solution to the very real issue of worker shortages across major industries, totaling millions of unfilled jobs."

“Hispanic businesses disproportionately operate in industries that heavily rely on immigrant labor like agriculture (70% immigrant workforce), hospitality/hotels/lodging (31%), construction (30%), professional services (23%), food services (22%), and more," according to the spokesperson. "This issue is impacting all businesses, but given our presence in these industries, it affects these business owners more significantly.”

UnidosUS and the AHCCC did not respond to requests for comment.

Multiple endorsers of the bill donate to or support almost exclusively Democrats. One-hundred percent of Third Way’s donations went to Democrats in 2024, according to Open Secrets. UnidosUS has bankrolled exclusively Democrat campaigns since 2016 and has overwhelmingly supported them over Republicans since 1992.

UnidosUS was previously known as the National Council of La Raza. La Raza means "the race" in English.

In 2022, then-Rep. Curtis (R-Utah) co-sponsored the DIGNIDAD Act with Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), which would have legalized some illegal aliens after background checks and other requirements were satisfied.

Corpse of Scottish woman who helped asylum-seekers stuffed into suitcase by migrant, say police



Yet another white woman who devoted her time and energy to welcoming third-worlders into Europe has wound up dead, apparently at the hands of the very sort of military-age foreigner she was trying to help.

The corpse of a 38-year-old Scottish woman who was volunteering with a refugee support group in Greece was discovered on July 18, stuffed into a suitcase in an abandoned building in Athens.

'The testimony of the wife has been crucial.'

The Hellenic Police announced on Sunday that investigators were able to lift the victim's fingerprints despite the body being found in a state of advanced decomposition. With the fingerprints and the help of both Interpol and American authorities, police identified the victim as Elisabeth-Jane Ross of Edinburgh.

Ross, who previously volunteered with the refugee assistance group One Heart, entered Greece on June 26 and was staying in the port city of Piraeus until July 10, when she left for an unknown destination.

On Thursday, police arrested Sharif Ahmadzai, a 26-year-old Afghan national, on suspicion of robbing and murdering Ross. They seized a replica pistol and a knife at his residence.

The Afghan — a super lightweight boxer who made his way by boat to Greece in 2016 after first making stops in Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey — allegedly used Ross' bank cards to make withdrawals and used her phone to contact her friends and family in an apparent attempt to mislead them about her whereabouts and demise.

Ahmadzai, who with his Christian wife runs a refugee-support ministry, was allegedly also caught by surveillance camera leaving Ross' address and wheeling around what appears to be the same suitcase in which the victim's body was discovered.

The suspect's wife, an American named Alaina Hall, is said to have reported Ahmadzai to the police after Ross was identified as the victim, reported the Independent. After becoming concerned about Ahmadzai's absence from their home on the evening of July 15, Hall — who has a child with the suspect — checked a shared location tracking app and discovered that he was at Ross' apartment, where the victim is believed to have been killed, according to the Daily Mail.

A police source told the Times (U.K.), "The testimony of the wife has been crucial. Without her and CCTV evidence, we would not have been able to find this man."

According to the now-scrubbed website for the couple's refugee support organization, Hall met Ahmadzai in 2016 when volunteering in a migrant camp.

The Afghan, whom the Hellenic Police claim has admitted to killing Ross, is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.

Ross' body was discovered just days after the discovery of the remains of 43-year-old American mother Jamey Carney in Ireland. The prime suspect in the murder of Carney is 28-year-old Ahmad Al-Saqar, Carney's romantic partner and a Middle Eastern asylum-seeker who fled the country on a plane bound for Turkey.

Trump Is Running Out Of Time To End Refugee Asylum Abuse For Good

The Trump administration can and must permanently improve asylum integrity, or risk our border looking like Spain again.

The Foreign Invasion In The UK Will Ruin Your English Countryside Vacation

'Absolute chaos': THOUSANDS of migrants OVERRUN border into Spain from Morocco — at least 9 people dead



Thousands of migrants stormed the border into the small Spanish territory of Cueta from Morocco, leading authorities to order the military to restore order.

Videos on social media show the migrants streaming across the border in the territory located in the northernmost tip of Morocco across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain.

'It's not possible to give precise numbers, but there are thousands of migrants crossing.'

Rachid Sbihi, a representative of Cueta border officers, told the Associated Press that the border had "totally collapsed" under the onslaught.

"The situation is absolute chaos," he added. "It's not possible to give precise numbers, but there are thousands of migrants crossing."

The government indicated that nine bodies of people who died trying to make the crossing were recovered. Local authorities said that dozens have died this year trying to reach Cueta.

Spain's Interior Ministry said that Moroccan officials were "closely cooperating" with Spain to bring order to the border and to secure "the return, as soon as possible, of all the people who entered Ceuta illegally."

The mass invasion might be due to a recent Spanish Supreme Court decision that found migrants who arrived in Spain by sea could not be immediately deported without due process — unlike those who crossed by land.

Juan Jesús Vivas, the head of the regional government in Ceuta, had warned Spanish authorities that they were being overwhelmed with migrants and called for a national emergency to be declared.

Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni decried the breach and threatened to shut down an immigration agreement with Spain in order to defend her country's sovereignty.

"The images coming from Ceuta are shocking and demonstrate, once again, that uncontrolled illegal immigration poses a real threat to the security of Europe's borders," she said in a post on social media translated from Italian.

"Italy will not stand idly by. We are convening the relevant bodies, and following these meetings, we are prepared to take action," she added. "We will not yield an inch on the issue of illegal immigration."

BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre put the invasion into historical perspective.

"After a brutal civil war and decades of rule under Francisco Franco, the communists still managed to remerge and open the floodgates to destroy Spain," he wrote. "This is why they banned 'Camp of the Saints,' because it accurately portrayed the future communists wanted for the West."

In Blue America, Insulting The Third World Is A Blasphemous Offense

The political forces governing blue America now deem it blasphemous to say something rude to their protected class of Third World migrants.

Massachusetts fought the rule that would have kept Pennsylvania trooper's alleged killer off the road



Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael Pahira Jr. was conducting a routine inspection of a tractor-trailer on the side of Interstate 81 South near Ashland on July 1 when a second tractor-trailer allegedly helmed by a Haitian illegal alien careened his way.

The incoming tractor-trailer sideswiped the 44-year-old trooper's cruiser, careened into the truck that Pahira was inspecting, then struck the trooper. Although nearby construction workers were able to pull Pahira free of the flaming wreckage, he was pronounced dead 90 minutes later.

'Because of these reckless policies, a Pennsylvania State Trooper is dead.'

In the wake of the horrific crash, the Pennsylvania State Troopers Association and lawmakers demanded answers — especially to the question of how the illegal alien, 33-year-old Michael Bon, managed to obtain a non-domiciled commercial driver's license.

While a spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles attempted to displace blame for her agency's issuance and renewal of Bon's CDL, the U.S. Department of Transportation has corrected the record, making abundantly clear that Massachusetts helped set the stage for Pahira's untimely demise.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Bon was released into the U.S. by the Biden administration in July 2024. He filed an application for Temporary Protected Status in October 2024, which was never granted.

The DHS claimed that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services terminated Bon's parole in June 2025, but the Haitian refused to leave and has remained in the country illegally — living in Massachusetts — ever since, the Boston Herald reported.

In March 2025 — months prior to the termination of his parole — Bon obtained a non-domiciled commercial driver's license from the MRMV. After his transition to illegal alien, Bon had his CDL renewed in February 2026.

Amelia Aubourg, a spokeswoman for the MRMV, recently attempted to assign blame for Bon's licensing to the Trump administration, telling the Herald that the "Non-Domiciled Commercial Driver’s Licenses program is a federal program," and that "this individual was ruled eligible based on the Trump administration database and allowed to drive by federal law and Trump administration policies."

What Aubourg neglected to mention was that the Trump administration issued a rule in September 2025 barring DACA recipients, asylum-seekers, refugees, TPS holders, and other noncitizens from obtaining, renewing, upgrading, or transferring non-domiciled CDL licenses.

This interim final rule, which would have barred Bon from renewing his CDL in February, was understood at the time to be a lifesaving measure.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a Sept. 26, 2025, statement, "Licenses to operate a massive, 80,000-pound truck are being issued to dangerous foreign drivers — oftentimes illegally. This is a direct threat to the safety of every family on the road, and I won’t stand for it. Today’s actions will prevent unsafe foreign drivers from renewing their license and hold states accountable to immediately invalidate improperly issued licenses."

After reviewing emergency legal challenges filed by the American Federation of Teachers and other liberal outfits, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit put the rule on hold in early November.

As part of the broader campaign to torpedo the rule, Massachusetts led 18 other states in filing a joint submission characterizing the rule as unnecessary and unlawful.

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell (D) claimed in a November 2025 letter to Duffy that the rule's "dramatic new restrictions on eligibility for non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses and commercial learner's permits are unlawful" and complained that it would "strip nearly all of the country’s 200,000 non-domiciled CDL holders of their licenses and their livelihoods."

Campbell not only claimed that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration lacked the authority to impose the restrictions but cast doubt on whether "these restrictions provide any additional safety benefits."

Campbell was joined in her opposition by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and numerous other radical Democrat officials.

A source familiar with the matter told Blaze News that "had those rules been in place during the driver's February 2026 license renewal, [Bon] would have been deemed ineligible for renewal."

A U.S. Department of Transportation spokesperson told Blaze News, "Secretary Duffy has spent the last year in office reining in a trucking industry allowed to operate like the Wild West under Biden and Buttigieg. That's why the Department issued a final rule stopping unqualified and unvetted foreign drivers from obtaining licenses to drive commercial trucks and buses."

"States that operate recklessly and fail to enforce our common-sense rules will be held accountable," added the spokesperson.

Blaze News did not immediately receive a response from Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell's office or the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, which oversees the MRMV.

The Trump administration successfully issued its final rule preventing unqualified foreign drivers from driving big rigs on March 16.

As for Michael Bon, he has been charged with felony vehicular homicide, felony vehicular aggravated assault, misdemeanor counts of recklessly endangering another person and involuntary manslaughter, and various traffic offenses.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also lodged a detainer asking Pennsylvania officials not to release Bon from jail.

"This Haitian illegal alien was RELEASED into our country by the Biden administration, and the sanctuary state of Massachusetts gave him a commercial driver’s license," DHS acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement.

"Now, because of these reckless policies, a Pennsylvania state trooper is dead after a crash that was 100% preventable. Illegal aliens should not be driving trucks on America’s highways," added Bis.

The Ireland I grew up in is gone



Growing up just outside Galway City, life in the West of Ireland was exactly what the postcards promised. It was a beautiful place, with generous people and a great spirit.

I use the term was deliberately. That Galway, and the Ireland it represented, is officially dead and buried — a lot like the Irish language itself.

Liberals love to romanticize this migration by drawing parallels to Ireland's own history of exodus.

Galway recently elected its first black mayor, Helen Ogbu, a Nigerian-born former social worker. The local and international media immediately fell into a state of rapturous, celebratory euphoria, framing it as a textbook example of a modern, inclusive Ireland, complete with a self-congratulatory pat on the back for everyone involved.

But beneath the surface-level applause and the performative progressive high-fives, the mood on the ground isn’t exactly celebratory. These rapid-fire changes are fueling a deep dread about what being Irish even means any more, besides holding the right passport.

Demographic rewrite

While Rotimi Adebari, another Nigerian, became Ireland's first black mayor back in 2007 in Portlaoise, Galway’s latest civic milestone cements a broader trend. This is less a blending of cultures than a demographic rewrite.

For anyone who remembers the not-so-old days, these lightning-fast shifts feel like the systematic gutting of everything we used to call home. It’s a brutal reality that local broadcasters prefer to completely ignore, though American commentator Tyler Oliveira recently traveled to Ireland to document this unfolding madness firsthand.

As his dispatches note, almost a quarter of Ireland's population is now foreign-born. Watching the footage, it's impossible not to recall Donald Trump’s infamous 2015 declaration regarding immigration in America: "They're not sending their best," he said. "They're sending people that have lots of problems. ... They're bringing drugs; they're bringing crime. They're rapists.

Trump was speaking about the U.S. southern border, but looking at the insanity unfolding in Dublin and parts of the rural West, he might as well have been describing modern Ireland. The influx has brought an undeniable undercurrent of low-IQ degeneracy from parts of Africa and the Middle East, fundamentally altering the safety of communities that used to leave their front doors unlocked.

Locals only

Ireland is gripped by a crushing homelessness crisis, but if you look at the people actually sleeping in cardboard boxes in city centers, they are far less likely to be from foreign lands than born-and-bred locals.

There's a sickening irony to the history here. Our ancestors, including my own family in the West, fought, bled, and died to kick the British Empire out, only for the current generation to willingly open the gates to a different kind of conquest.

To be fair, it wasn't the ordinary Irish people who made this choice, but a political class utterly beholden to Brussels and the EU bureaucracy. When Angela Merkel opened the floodgates in 2015, a cowardly, compliant Irish government offered to take its share of the burden, setting off a chain reaction that has left the country unrecognizable.

The magnet pulling people in is a bizarrely generous welfare state. While working-class Irish citizens struggle to put food on the table, the system rolls out the red carpet for foreign arrivals. In Oliveira’s documentary, one migrant casually admits to receiving a €1,200 monthly cash allowance. To an outsider, €1,200 (roughly $1,400) a month might not sound like an extravagant fortune, but when it is paired with free housing, medical care, and education, it means you are essentially being subsidized by the Irish taxpayer to do absolutely nothing.

Kick me, I'm Irish

Liberals love to romanticize this migration by drawing parallels to Ireland's own history of exodus. When Conan O'Brien visited his ancestral home in Ireland, he spoke about the real courage it took for generations of Irish people to cross the Atlantic for a better life, noting, "People leave not because they think: 'Hey, I just want to go have fun in America.' They leave because they have to.” The pro-immigration lobby uses this exact sentiment as a shield, arguing that today's arrivals are just the modern equivalents of the 19th-century Irish.

They're not. That comparison is utter nonsense. The historical Irish diaspora weren't greeted by a waiting welfare check, free medical cards, and state-subsidized housing; they stepped off the boats into starvation, hostile "No Irish Need Apply" signs, and manual labor that regularly killed them. Furthermore, modern migration has become a cynical game of regional arbitrage. As Oliveira’s interviews reveal, many migrants openly admit to using Portugal as a soft entry point into the EU, obtaining papers there before immediately making a beeline for Ireland's superior welfare benefits.

What we are witnessing is the absolute, spectacular failure of Western liberalism. Notice that his toxic brand of pathological altruism doesn’t exist in Africa or Asia. It is an exclusively Western suicidal pact — a bizarre cultural mental illness where nations willingly subsidize their own erasure while smiling for the cameras. Ireland is simply the latest country to gladly sign its own death warrant, completely convinced that disappearing is the ultimate form of progress.
