New York Times Hit Piece On ICE Facilities’ Medical Care Is Riddled With Falsehoods, DHS Says

Ahit piece in The New York Times claiming the medical care provided at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers is ‘poor’ is riddled with falsehoods, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told The Federalist.

The New York Times on Saturday ran through several claims that several illegal aliens did not receive proper care: Aliens were forced to wait long periods of time to be “lucky enough to see a doctor,” diabetes patients did not receive regular insulin, and detainees faced various other medical care failures.

According to DHS, those claims are totally unfounded.

“These allegations of illegal aliens being denied proper medical care in ICE custody are FALSE. It is both policy and longstanding practice for aliens to receive timely and appropriate medical care from the moment they enter ICE custody,” Dr. Sean Conley, DHS chief medical officer, told The Federalist. “This includes medical, dental, women’s health and mental health services, any needed follow up medical appointments as well as  24-hour emergency care. This is better, more responsive healthcare than many aliens have ever received in their entire lives.”

The New York Times claims that medical staff at Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas “downplayed” the concerns Kheilin Domelis Valero Marcano and Stiven Jose Arrieta Prieto had about the medical condition of their 18-month-old daughter, Amalia Isabella Arrieta-Valero. The Biden administration released the Venezuelan family in 2024 after they entered the country illegally, according to DHS.

Marcano and Prieto claim, apparently through a lawyer, that medical staff delayed until Arrieta-Valero developed a fever that allegedly lasted 19 days and caused her to lose two pounds.

According to DHS, however, after Arrieta-Valero developed a respiratory condition, she “immediately received proper medical care and was admitted to the Methodist Children’s Hospital in San Antonio, Texas for treatment.”

She stayed at the hospital for eight days, and then a pediatrician approved her release. She was brought back to Dilley, where she received further medical monitoring and prescriptions.

Another claim in the hit piece is about Anastasiia Ekimovskaia, a 35-year-old illegal alien from Russia who entered the United States illegally on Oct. 6, 2025, who “reported no medical or mental health” concerns upon arrival at Dilley, DHS said.

The New York Times says DHS staff refused care to Ekimovskaia for hemorrhaging and bleeding “through six sanitary pads.” She was ultimately taken to a hospital, allegedly after “pleading with staff and after they demanded proof.” She showed the pads and was given a prescription that “took weeks to arrive” as “the bleeding continued.”

According to DHS, Ekimovskaia said she had side pain on Nov. 1, and disclosed a “history of kidney stones.” After consulting with the medical staff who “started appropriate treatment” and planned a future visit to revisit the situation, on Nov. 6, she sought care for “menstrual discomfort and heavy bleeding,” DHS said.

After going to Frio Regional Hospital upon referral from Dilley’s medical provider, she was “diagnosed with moderate heavy menstrual bleeding” and referred to an off-site obstetrician-gynecologist and had “multiple follow-up appointments.”

Illegal Aliens Break into North Carolina Man’s Home, Tie Him Up, Beat Him — Then Rape Him

While the radical left continues to push for open borders and “sanctuary” rhetoric, the consequences of their lawlessness are landing on the doorsteps of hardworking Americans in quiet, suburban neighborhoods.

A quiet neighborhood in Greenville was shattered in the early morning hours on Wednesday after two illegal aliens allegedly broke into a man’s home, tied him up, beat him with a weapon, and sexually assaulted him in what authorities are calling a targeted attack.

According to the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office, 21-year-old Zaid Mayen and 20-year-old Jonathan David Garcia Larios have been arrested and charged in connection with the brutal home invasion.

Arrest warrants list the following charges:

  • First-degree sexual offense
  • First-degree kidnapping
  • Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury
  • First-degree burglary

Authorities say the suspects forcibly entered the home at 200 Louis Street with the intent to assault the victim.

According to the Reflector, the warrants state the men injured the victim with an edged weapon, restrained him against his will, and moved him from one place to another in order to inflict serious bodily injury and commit a forcible sex offense.

The victim, identified in the warrant as a male resident of the home, was transported by EMS to ECU Health Medical Center with injuries. Officials have not released further information regarding his medical status.

Sgt. Lee Darnell of the sheriff’s office described the case as “complex and evolving,” emphasizing that it was a targeted crime and not random.

Hillary Clinton Lied About Deportations Under Her Husband and Obama

Hillary Clinton was in Munich over the weekend, where she lied through her teeth about deportations under the presidencies of both her husband and Barack Obama. That’s what she does best, it seems, and she does it shamelessly.

“More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama,” Clinton said, “without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or the first year of this second term.”

Of course, there weren’t “sanctuary cities” under Clinton and Obama. Blue cities cooperated with ICE. CNN even did ride-alongs with ICE and sang their praises.

But it was Obama who started the detention centers.

And put kids in cages.

Hillary Clinton Rails Against “White Men” and MAGA in Angry Rant During Munich Panel, Claims Children Weren’t Detained Under Obama and Bill Clinton

During a discussion on international relations and mass migration at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, failed Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton went on an angry-sounding rant about black people, women, and gay people’s rights, accusing conservatives of being concerned about equal rights and supporting inhumane border policies. 

Clinton began by lecturing European leaders about the United States’s history with women, blacks, and gays and saying the liberals are “comfortable in a more open, tolerant world,” while conservatives “have their concerns about it because they worry about the impact on existing institutions, like the family, community, and others.”

She then turned to immigration, accusing the Trump Administration of taking too harsh of an approach against the violent criminals who invaded the country, and she repeated the “Kids in Cages Hoax,” blaming Trump for the child separation policy for minors crossing the border with unknown adults.

“More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps,” Clinton said, ignoring the unprecedented violence against ICE agents today and that putting detaining children at the border is a longstanding policy. And she went right back to race-baiting and virtue-signaling, and even made herself the victim, accusing the right of an “ideological impulse to try to protect the status quo or return making America great again in some nostalgic past that existed for White Men and capitalist enterprise,” which “was not exactly open and welcoming to people who look like me and a lot of other people who are part of our national fabric.”

She did, however, admit that immigration has “gone too far,” and that “it’s been disruptive and destabilizing.”

Sorry Libs, Even Hillary Clinton Thinks You Went Too Far on Immigration

In a move that shows just how far conservatives have been able to shift political thinking on the issue, Hillary Clinton made waves at the Munich Security Conference for suggesting that the unrestricted immigration policies of leftists in the United States and Europe have gone way too far.

“There’s a legitimate reason to have to have a debate about things like migration,” Clinton said at the conference. “It went too far. It’s been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be fixed in a humane way, secure borders that don’t torture and kill people.”

If you think that the about-face Clinton is pulling on the immigration is out of genuine concern for border security and protecting the sovereignty of the United States, you would be wrong. This is nothing more than a blatant attempt to claim: “See, we’ve always cared deeply about this issue, but Donald Trump is going about solving it like a Nazi.” Clinton proved as much as she continued speaking on the subject.

Maricopa County Recorder Finds 137 Illegal Voters, Refers 60 Non-Citizens to be Prosecuted for Voting as Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Whines Over Kristi Noem’s Visit to Arizona and Claims Illegals Can’t Vote

While Democrats claim that illegal aliens can’t vote in elections because it’s already illegal and they need to sign an affidavit attesting they’re eligible to vote, Maricopa County recently identified over 100 noncitizens who were registered to vote.

While investigating a voter registration glitch that occurred in the state’s Motor Vehicle Division voter registration system, which, for nearly 20 years, allowed individuals who received a driver’s license before 1996 to vote without citizenship verification, the County Recorder’s office said it identified 137 non-citizens who were registered to vote.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on this issue, which surfaced in September 2024, just months before the 2024 election. The massive “error” allowed anybody who received a driver’s license before 1996 to vote without citizenship verification, and left nearly 100,000 voters with no citizenship verification. It was later revealed that the error may have affected more than 200,000 voters.

Arizona executive branch officials, who were fraudulently elected after 60% of voting machines failed Republican voters in 2022, were further caught discussing the error and admitting that the 2020 and 2022 elections were “challengable” as a result.

Nearly half of them, 60, “have voted in prior elections,” according to the Recorder’s office.

Those 60 individuals have been referred for prosecution to the Maricopa County Attorney’s office and the Arizona Attorney General.

This comes after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Arizona on Friday to deliver remarks in support of the SAVE America Act. Some speculate that the federal government may return to Arizona to investigate the fraud in the state’s elections.

After Noem’s speech in Arizona, where she rebuked the state’s election procedures, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes attempted to puff out his chest and own Noem with a contemptuous video statement, claiming that Arizona already requires proof of citizenship to vote. “We’ve been doing that for 20 years, maybe not in the Dakotas, where you came from, but we do it here,” he said.

However, this is not true. To vote in Arizona, one simply must check a box saying they are a US citizen. Ironically, the Secretary released the following video on the same day that Maricopa County found the illegal voters!

Liberals battle ICE over an illegal busted with 57 pounds of meth…

At some point, you have to ask what exactly the left is fighting for.

Because when a man is caught with 57 pounds of meth, this probably isn’t the hill you should die on. Clearly, something has gone very wrong in the Democrat Party. America is drowning in drugs, and families are being ripped apart by addiction. US cities are buckling under fentanyl and meth epidemics, and yet in Minneapolis, left-wing activists showed up to physically try to block ICE from arresting an illegal caught with enough meth to poison entire communities.

This is what the left-wing “resistance” has become… fighting tooth and nail for the rights of illegal drug smugglers.

How will that look on a campaign poster?

American voters reelected President Trump on a promise to restore order, secure the border, and remove Biden’s dangerous illegals from our communities. That mandate was crystal clear. But in Minneapolis, activists decided the will of the voters doesn’t matter. Apparently, “democracy” now includes saving drug smugglers from arrest.

Demented: Councillor Pushes Kids To Send VALENTINE’S CARDS To Illegal Male

A Green Party councillor in the UK has sparked outrage by announcing plans to take her young grandchildren to deliver handmade Valentine’s Day cards to adult male asylum seekers at a migrant camp.

This comes amid widespread local opposition to the government’s decision to house hundreds of illegal migrants in a former military base, and fresh revelations about horrific crimes committed by similar arrivals.

Anne Cross, an East Sussex County councillor, made the announcement at a heated public meeting, claiming it would help “dispel fear” by encouraging people to “hear the stories” of the migrants. “There is nothing like getting to know people and hearing their stories in order to dispel fear,” she said. “My grandchildren and I painted some Valentine’s Cards at the weekend which we are going to be presenting to the men at Crowborough as a welcome.”

The camp in Crowborough, a former army cadet training site, has been repurposed by the Home Office to accommodate up to 540 male migrants who arrived via small boats. Local residents have protested the move, with demonstrations highlighting concerns over safety and community impact. The additional policing costs alone are projected at £5.62 million, according to Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne.

Cross urged community representatives to “stand with all those who share the love,” but her plan has been met with fierce backlash. Sussex Weald Conservative MP Nus Ghani called it “disturbing” and “highly irresponsible,” pointing to “widespread concern locally” and a lack of “regard for safeguarding” when involving children with “single adult men.”

Unfazed, Cross insisted the cards would be anonymous and that “there has been much misinformation about the men who will be housed in the camp and this has created a climate of fear.” She added, “But there is no evidence children or women are at a higher risk from people seeking asylum than other sections of our society.”

This naive stance ignores a pattern of sexual crimes linked to asylum seekers across the UK. Just days ago, details emerged of a chilling case where Ahmed Müller, a 23-year-old Afghan national who arrived illegally by small boat four months prior, was convicted of abducting, raping, and filming a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton.

Democrats Want To Stop Illegal Alien Deportations By Shutting Down DHS. It’s That Simple

Just like the last time Democrats threw the government into a shutdown, they have no leverage but are now withholding votes to fund the Department of Homeland Security while making ridiculous demands that the Trump administration is entertaining.

If Congress doesn’t push more money to DHS by Saturday, funding to TSA and FEMA will be cut off this weekend. Democrat leaders say they won’t agree to any deal that doesn’t reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is to say, make it effectively impossible to deport illegal aliens.

But everyone in Washington knows Democrats are in no position to force concessions, given that even without more money for DHS, ICE remains funded with billions in cash by way of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” law passed last year. In short, the hand Democrats are playing is: Neuter immigration law enforcement or they’re going to clog up air travel and federal emergency response assistance.

This would be like needing a last-minute babysitter and telling the only person available that if she can’t watch your kids, you’re not only going to stay home, but you’ll also send them to bed without any dinner.

Alright?

Gov. DeWine: Ending Haitians’ Protections Would Hit Ohio Jobs

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said ending temporary protected status for Haitians who live and work in his state would be a “blow to the economy,” days after a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from terminating the protections while a lawsuit proceeds.

The Republican governor told CNN on Thursday that employers would lose workers if Haitians with TPS could no longer work legally.

“If they lose temporary protected status and they no longer can work and the companies can’t employ them, that’s a blow to the economy,” he said.

“That’s a blow to the state.”

A U.S. District Court judge in Washington issued a temporary stay Monday that blocked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s order terminating TPS for Haitians, which was scheduled to take effect Tuesday, pending the outcome of a suit brought by five Haitian TPS holders.

In the 83-page memorandum opinion, Judge Ana Reyes, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, said that Noem did not consult with other agencies as required by law before ending the designation and wrote that it seemed “substantially likely” the secretary “preordained her termination decision and did so because of hostility to nonwhite immigrants.”

Reyes also pointed to the State Department’s current warning on Haiti.

The advisory, reissued July 15, 2025, says: “Do not travel to Haiti for any reason” and cites “kidnapping, crime, terrorist activity, civil unrest, and limited health care.”

Reyes wrote, “‘Do not travel to Haiti for any reason’ does not exactly scream, as Secretary Noem concluded, suitable for return.”

Noem announced in November that TPS for Haitians would expire in February, after an earlier move last summer was delayed by litigation.

As of March 31, 2025, federal data compiled by the Congressional Research Service listed 330,735 Haitians with approved TPS applications.

DeWine said Thursday that Springfield, Ohio, “is coming back” in part because of Haitians living and working there.

“They’re not only working, but of course they’re spending money in the community,” he said.

“There’s been businesses started. Restaurants have started.”
