More than 302,000 illegal migrants crossed into the US in December setting the record for most entries in HISTORY as Biden grapples with the fallout of his administration’s policies
A record number of migrants crossed the U.S. southern border in December, according to a new report, topping the highest amount ever recorded as President Joe Biden continues to grapple with the crisis.

Mucho Migranta!

There were 300,000 encounters in the last month of 2023, U.S. Custom and Border Patrol sources told Fox News. Between Dec. 1 and December 31, more than 302,000 migrants were documented attempting to cross the U.S. southern border.

Biden has asked Congress for $61 billion in aid to Ukraine, but Republicans are refusing to approve the assistance without an agreement with Democrats to tighten security along the U.S.-Mexico border. His request also includes $14 billion for Israel as it fights Hamas and $14 billion for U.S. border security.

Thousands more were set to arrive in the coming days in the form of a massive migrant caravan making its way through Mexico to the southern border… (Continue to full article)

Mexico and Venezuela restart repatriation flights amid pressure to curb soaring migration to U.S.
Mexico and Venezuela announced Saturday that they have restarted repatriation flights of Venezuelans migrants in Mexico, the latest move by countries in the region to take on a flood of people traveling north to the United States.

The move comes as authorities say at least 10,000 migrants a day have been arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, many of them asylum seekers. It also comes as a migrant caravan of thousands of people from across the region – largely Venezuelans – has trekked through southern Mexico this week.

The repatriation flights are part of an agreement made between regional leaders during a summit in Mexico in October that aimed to seek solutions for migration levels that show few signs of slowing down… (Continue to full article)

Top 5 immigration stories of 2023: Driver’s Licenses for All, reunification delays, tragedy in the Somali community
After years of trying to understand the complexities of the U.S. immigration system and how it impacts Minnesotans, I finally got the chance to really dig deeper into the cracks in the system and its effects on people.

In a major victory for immigration advocates this year, the Minnesota Legislature passed Driver’s Licenses For All, a bill that allows undocumented Minnesotans the chance to get a driver’s license. Covering that issue gave me the opportunity to look at how public safety and local law enforcement intersect with the immigration system – advocates often call this intersection “crimmigration.” Much of my year was spent reporting on U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement – better known as ICE—to understand how it operates locally.

But immigration issues are just one aspect of the story. I continued to write about the lives of immigrants in Minnesota and the ways communities come together – during times of both celebration and tragedy.

Here’s a breakdown of Sahan Journal’s top stories about immigration in Minnesota in the last year… (Continue to full article)

Immigration Enforcement Legislation, 26 State State Attorneys General Unite for Urgency
In a unified effort, twenty-six state attorneys general are urgently calling on House Speaker Mike Johnson to expedite the passage of a crucial bill, the Immigration Enforcement Partnership Act, or H.R. 1337. This legislation, introduced by Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., on March 3, 2023, empowers state officials to assume the role of federal immigration authorities when the Homeland Security secretary neglects their responsibilities.

The appeal, spearheaded by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, expresses astonishment at the limited attention given to H.R. 1337 and similar proposals. The attorneys general are urging Speaker Johnson to prioritize these critical issues.

Signatories to the letter, which includes attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas, emphasize the urgent need to address what they describe as “the devastating effects of our wide-open border… (Continue to full article)
