Illegals Also Pouring Over The Northern Border–Including NY

Border Czar Kamala Harris has another headache: illegal aliens are sneaking across the northern border with Canada in sizable numbers. The mainstream media ran cover for years on the southern border, which has only recently come into focus on network news channels.

But the northern border has been a blind spot. The dense woods separating Canada from New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine provide excellent cover for illegal interlopers. While far less trafficked than the southern border, penetration in the north has increased by several magnitudes.

The area in question is comprised of three Border Patrol Sectors, named Buffalo, Swanton, and Houlton, respectively, from west to east. Six border stations patrol Buffalo sector, eight in Swanton, and six in Houlton.

The New York-through-Maine border is 1,204 miles long. Broken down by state, Canada’s border is separated from New York by 445 miles, Vermont and New Hampshire, 148, and Maine, 611 miles.

In Swanton sector alone–a mere 295 miles of that 1,204–over 19,000 illegals have crossed during the 2024 fiscal year.

A War Criminal Comes to New York

The war criminal leader of a dangerous rogue state is coming to speak to the UN General Assembly this week. The AP reports:

But Netanyahu arrives at the United Nations this week at a time when his own diplomatic capital and legitimacy, as well as that of the country he represents, are at a low. Critics say that aside from a moment in the spotlight, it’s not clear what Netanyahu will achieve with the visit.

“He is a great believer in speechmaking,” said Tal Schneider, an Israeli political commentator. “He thinks that if he delivers a speech in English, he can convince people in the justness of his ways,” she said, adding that that demonstrated he was “disconnected from reality.”

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Fires Back, Claims He’s Being Targeted by Biden’s Federal Government for Allegedly ‘Defending’ New Yorkers Against Illegal Aliens

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a federal grand jury on criminal charges.

The indictment, which is expected to be unsealed today, Thursday, marks the culmination of a months-long investigation into the mayor’s alleged involvement in a web of corruption and illegal foreign donations, potentially implicating powerful interests spanning across six foreign nations.

While the details of the charges remain under wraps for now, sources close to the investigation revealed that Adams is suspected of accepting illegal contributions from foreign countries, including Turkey, Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea, and Uzbekistan.

The allegations have already triggered a crisis within the mayor’s administration, leading to the raids, resignations of several top officials, and a barrage of subpoenas.

Here is a timeline of events in the federal investigation into Mayor Eric Adams and his inner circle via ABC 7 NY:

    • November 2, 2023 – The FBI launches a major investigation into Mayor Eric Adams’ 2021 campaign, starting with a search of key figures’ homes. Federal agents search the Brooklyn residence of Brianna Suggs, a top fundraiser for Adams, and the New Jersey home of Rana Abbasova, the mayor’s international affairs aide. That same day, Adams flies to Washington, D.C., only to abruptly return to New York, canceling meetings scheduled with the White House.
    • November 6, 2023 – Mayor Adams faces direct scrutiny as the FBI seizes his personal electronic devices, including his iPad and cell phone. Sources indicate that investigators are looking into whether Adams’ campaign received illegal foreign donations from Turkey.
    • February 29, 2024 – The FBI continues its investigation, this time focusing on Winnie Greco, Adams’ Director of Asian Affairs. Federal agents search her Bronx home as part of the ongoing probe.
    • April 5, 2024 – The FBI is investigating whether Mayor Adams received free upgrades on Turkish Airlines flights during his 2021 mayoral campaign,
    • July 2024 – The federal investigation heats up, with grand jury subpoenas issued to Adams in what sources describe as a corruption probe. Prosecutors are reportedly looking into whether the mayor’s campaign pressured the fire department to expedite inspections of the new Turkish consulate in exchange for donations from Turkey.
    • September 4, 2024 – The investigation reaches Adams’ inner circle. FBI agents search the homes of First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and her fiancé, Schools Chancellor David Banks, who had his phones seized. They also search the Queens home of Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks, along with business consultant Terence Banks, confiscating various electronic devices.
    • September 5, 2024 – Four high-ranking NYPD officials, including NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban and his twin brother James Caban, are subpoenaed by federal investigators. Tim Pearson, a close advisor to Mayor Adams, also has his phone seized.
    • September 12, 2024 – Commissioner Caban resigns, citing the ongoing investigations as a “distraction” to the city’s work. His departure signals further fallout from the expanding probe.
    • September 14, 2024 – Lisa Zornberg, Chief Counsel at City Hall, resigns after advising Mayor Adams on legal strategy for over a year. In a brief letter, Zornberg states she can no longer serve effectively in her role, raising questions about the legal stability surrounding the Adams administration.
    • September 16, 2024 – The FBI arrests two retired FDNY chiefs, Brian Cordasco and Anthony Saccavino, as part of a year-long corruption investigation connected to the probe into Mayor Adams’ administration.
    • September 20, 2024 – Federal prosecutors issue a subpoena to Molly Schaeffer, the director overseeing New York City’s Office for Asylum Seekers, further expanding the scope of the investigation into City Hall operations.
    • September 21, 2024 – Federal agents search the home of Interim NYPD Commissioner Thomas Donlon. Though Donlon claims the search is unrelated to the police department, its timing raises eyebrows.
    • September 23, 2024 – New York City Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan announces his resignation, effective by January 2025. Vasan insists his decision is to spend more time with family and denies any connection to the federal investigation.
    • September 24, 2024 – Another major figure steps down as New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks announces his retirement, adding to the growing list of high-level resignations amid the ongoing probe.
    • September 24, 2024 – The FBI expanded its investigation into possible illegal foreign donations, focusing on Adams’ suspicious connections with at least six foreign countries, including Turkey, Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea, and Uzbekistan.
    • September 25, 2024 – Mayor Eric Adams is indicted by a grand jury in the federal corruption investigation, marking a pivotal moment in the probe that has rocked his administration.

This comes after Adams has slammed Biden’s border policy indirectly by claiming that the migrant crisis is ‘destroying’ the city.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Has Been Indicted on Federal Criminal Charges

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal criminal charges, The New York Times reported Wednesday night. The indictment is still sealed, so the nature of the charges are unclear. Adams is the first New York mayor to be indicted while in office.

Prior to the indictment, Adams and his administration were caught in a tangled web of federal investigations involving subpoenas, raids, and turmoil within city hall. 

Adams addressed the indictment in a statement to CBS New York. “I always knew that If I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target—and a target I became,” he said. “If I am charged, I am innocent and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”

Earlier this month, the FBI raided the homes of several top Adams administration officials including First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, Deputy Mayor Philip Banks, City Police Commissioner Edward A. Caban, and Schools Chancellor David Banks. Authorities also seized electronic devices belonging to Adams’ adviser Timothy Pearson, and issued a slew of subpoenas to other members of his administration.

Feds demanded Adams admin’s communications with 5 more countries as Turkey probe expands: sources

Federal prosecutors demanded City Hall cough up all communications between the Adams administration and five more foreign countries — a drastic expansion of the probe into Turkish campaign donations. 

The sprawling record requests came in the July slate of subpoenas, providing the first pinhole look into one of the US Attorney’s Office for Southern District of New York’s investigations targeting Adams and his allies since the raids of his top campaign fundraiser last November. 

The subpoenas sought details on all interactions between administration officials and Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea and Uzbekistan, sources told The Post. 

It was previously unknown what the subpoenas sought. 

Adams’ 2021 campaign was also served with subpoenas for additional information on its campaign donations, specifically those that had ties to Turkey, sources said.

Retired Judge Stewart Rosenwasser kills self at Orange County home as FBI arrive to arrest him

A former prosecutor and retired judge in Orange County, NY killed himself Tuesday as the FBI arrived at his home to arrest him.

Authorities arrived at Stewart Rosenwasser’s home in Campbell Hall to arrest him as part of a corruption case, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Rosenwasser had been under investigation for taking bribes.

“I was standing by the front door, my friend went outside the front door and they screamed at us to get in the house,” said Orange County resident Linn Cartagena.

It appears there was an exchange of gunfire at the suspect’s home, according to the FBI, which the following statement:

“The FBI is reviewing an agent-involved shooting that occurred earlier this morning in Campbell Hall, NY. The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents seriously. In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI’s Inspection Division. As this is an ongoing matter, we have no further details to provide.”

Migrant Invaders Accused Of Crimes Can Still Receive Taxpayer-Funded Shelters in New York City

Earlier this month, New York City Eric Adams’ administration admitted that criminal migrant invaders aren’t exempt from receiving taxpayer-subsidized shelters.

“We don’t say that [you] can’t come back into the shelter because you’ve gotten arrested,” stated Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom during Adams’ weekly press conference in City Hall.

The revelation came after a New York Post report that discovered migrants have been overwhelming the criminal-justice system, with one Manhattan cop estimated that “about 75%” of arrests in Midtown are migrants, mostly for cases involving robberies, assaults, domestic incidents and selling counterfeit items.

“I’m sure that there’s a lot of arrests that have come from a lot of different groups that come here, especially groups that might not be able to work,” Williams-Isom added.

On top of that, she revealed that the city government is not keeping tabs on the arrest of migrants. Due to the sanctuary status of NYC, the New York Police Department is banned from inquiring suspects about their immigration status

After being badgered a bit about the alarming number of migrant arrests, Adams’ Chief of Staff Camille Joseph Varlack stated that although suspects can return to city shelters, they would lose housing privileges if they broke a code of conduct.

However, the code is limited only to incidents taking place inside the shelters. Alleged criminal activity that occurs elsewhere apparently has no impact on migrant invaders’ eligibility to receive city housing, per a review of the code of conduct by The New York Post.

Feds serve search warrants on interim New York City Police Commissioner Tom Donlon

Just over a week after taking charge of the nation’s largest police department, interim New York City Police Commissioner Tom Donlon confirmed Saturday that federal agents served search warrants on multiple homes belonging to him.

In a statement obtained by CBS News, Donlon said that “federal authorities” on Friday “executed search warrants at my residences.”

Donlon alleged that the agents “took materials that came into my possession approximately 20 years ago and are unrelated to my work with the New York City Police Department.”

He added that the NYPD would “not be commenting” as this was “not a department matter.”

Donlon’s predecessor, Edward Caban, resigned on Sept. 12, about one week after it emerged that Caban’s phone was seized as part of a federal investigation that touched several members of New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ inner circle.

Caban, who had served as commissioner of the NYPD about 15 months, said in an email to staff at the time that he made the decision to resign after the “news around recent developments” had “created a distraction for our department.”

Donlon previously served as the chief of the FBI’s National Threat Center and once led the Office of Homeland Security in New York, before starting his own security firm in 2020. He helped lead the investigation into the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and investigated the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings and USS Cole bombing.

Caban’s resignation marked the first high-level departure from the Adams administration since federal investigators seized phones Sept. 4 from several members of the mayor’s inner circle, including two deputy mayors, the schools chancellor, and one of Adams’ top advisers.

The subject of the investigation, which is being led by U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, remains unclear, as does whether federal authorities were seeking information linked to one investigation or several.

Karma For Varma! NYC Covid Czar Busted For Secret Drug/Sex Parties During Lockdown

Maybe he should change his name to Varmint.

Dr. Jay Varma, the Covid czar under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, has been caught bragging about his double standard personal life. The champion of draconian measures during Covid attended drug-fueled sex parties while the rest of the city sheltered in place.

As reported by the New York Post, Varma didn’t spare the details:

“We went to some, like, underground dance party … underneath a bank on Wall Street … We were all rolling, we’re all taking molly [MDMA] and everybody’s high. And I was so happy because I hadn’t done that in like a year and a half,” he said in the clip.

The footage was first leaked by Steven Crowder, a right-wing internet personality on Thursday. In a followup video Crowder later confronted Varma at a restaurant with his own damning quotes. Varma defended himself by saying he was “babbling in what I thought was a date with somebody.”

“My wife and I have an open relationship,” he quickly added.

Further, Varma threw his old boss under the bus while being videoed by a woman pretending to be on a date with Varma on August 14th. The Project Veritas-style ambush went live today on Steven Crowder’s YouTube channel. Varma claimed that he wanted to keep schools open, but “weenie” de Blasio caved to teacher’s unions.

Police have reportedly discovered an “explosive device” in a car near President Trump’s rally venue in Uniondale, New York tonight.

Per James Lalino:

Sources in the Nassau County Police Department just told me that “the perimeter was breached and a blue barrel was removed” from the area surrounding tonight’s Trump rally site.

Source said “During K9, doing their checks, they found an explosive device in one of the vehicles and that driver ended up running into the woods. No one saw if he had anything on him, they just saw him take off running. A lot of cars are now parking, they’re lining up on Hempstead Turnpike, just parking on the grass. Even over at Eisenhower Park, they’re just parking over there.”
