Daily #Border borderoversight.org/news

CBS News and the Washington Examiner reported preliminary Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data indicating that Border Patrol apprehended 53,881 migrants in September between U.S.-Mexico border ports of entry. That would be the smallest total of the Biden administration, down from 56,399 in July and 58,038 in August. Another 48,000 in September came to the ports of entry, most of them with CBP One appointments.

The Border Patrol figure would be the fewest since August 2020, when Donald Trump was president, and less than the monthly average for 2019.

Two girls from Egypt, aged 18 and 11, were among the 6 migrants killed on October 1 when Mexican soldiers fired on a pickup truck that was transporting them in the southern state of Chiapas. “Three of the dead were from Egypt, and one each from Peru and Honduras. The other has apparently not yet been identified,” the Associated Press reported. Milenio cited a victim from El Salvador, but not Honduras.

Mexico’s new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, said that Mexico’s Army (National Defense Secretariat or SEDENA) initiated the legal complaint against the two soldiers who allegedly fired on the migrants’ vehicle, and that the civilian Attorney General’s Office is investigating the incident.

President Sheinbaum has not yet named a successor to Francisco Garduño, the embattled head of its migration agency (National Migration Institute, INM), who faces criminal charges related to a March 2023 detention center fire that killed 40 migrants in Ciudad Juárez. Garduño, who has headed INM since 2019, remains at his post and has said he would be willing to stay on.

A U.S. federal government body that investigates inspectors-general submitted a report accusing Joseph Cuffari, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General, of “substantial misconduct,” including reprisals against whistleblowers and providing misleading information to Congress. Cuffari, a Trump appointee, has come under fire from non-governmental watchdogs, particularly the Project on Government Oversight, for weakening oversight of a department that includes most U.S. border law enforcement agencies.

Jonathan Blitzer, at the New Yorker, and Jamelle Bouie, at the New York Times, published critiques of the Trump-Vance campaign’s view that “mass deportation” could be a policy solution to address problems ranging from housing costs to crime. Blitzer raised concerns about deporting beneficiaries of documented statuses that depend on presidential approval, like humanitarian parole or Temporary Protected Status.

Tyche Hendricks of California Public Media interviewed Haitians who have settled in the San Diego area, who are “on edge” about losing Temporary Protected Status if Donald Trump is elected.

Home And Away is attempting a medical professional misconduct storyline if my reading of the promotions are correct. Yeah , dunno about this one, writers

the audience laughter on this week’s Last Week Tonight was as unsettling as the main segment’s actual subject matter: racial profiling and institutionalized police misconduct specific to pretextual stops

They already tried to dogpile a moderator for condemning clear misconduct by the transphobia labeler.

What really pisses me off is that they pretend to be serious but they are so not serious at all. Professional misconduct is pumping a fist to energize a mob then running away whey they attack. www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

super great the previous sheriff is in the comments saying there’s no link between sheriff gangs and misconduct

Fun combo with youtu.be/26E685sWoeM?... "For decades, CA PDs that want to sever ties w/ officers for misconduct have agreed to let them resign & to keep the bad behavior confidential ... as a result, 100s of officers have landed new jobs in LE w/ no records of their past misconduct."

How hundreds of California police officers have kept past misconduct confidential

I saw the reporter explaining the word choice on Threads, essentially saying that, yes, it's an official term: "Subgroup is the umbrella term for a group that we don't know a lot about yet, like how exclusionary they are or what misconduct they engage in." www.threads.net/@keriblaking...

No, I chose that because it was the language used in the memo. And because there was not a clear nexis to actual misconduct. The COC defines deputy gangs as exclusionary groups engaged in misconduct, ...
