A majority of House Democrats voted against a bill put forth by GOP lawmakers that would require federal law enforcement to detain migrants who have entered the U.S. illegally and face charges for assaulting police officers.
The bill, which is titled the "Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act," was first introduced by New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew and backed by several other Republicans. It is among a series of legislation that the House GOP has vowed to bring to the chamber's floor in the coming days in honor of National Police Week. Republicans said in a release on Wednesday that the bills "highlight our continued support for America's law enforcement offices."
The measure passed the House in a 265-148 vote Wednesday; 211 Republicans were joined by 54 Democrats to send the bill to the Senate. All no votes were cast by Democrats. Six Republicans and 11 Democrats did not vote on the bill.

DULZURA, Calif. — At dawn came a dozen men, women and children from Nepal. Following in the twilight was a cluster of families from Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, along with half a dozen Chinese men.
Behind them were men from India and couples from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan carrying infants.
Scattered migrants kept arriving at the top of a steep dirt road to surrender to U.S. border agents in order to claim asylum.
“I am finally here, in America,” Justin Agbobli, 30, who had traveled from Togo in West Africa, proclaimed in French. “Today is a dream come true!”

Biden Document Report / Biden asserts executive privilege over recordings from classified documents probe
« Last post by mystery-ak on Today at 01:16:38 pm »Biden asserts executive privilege over recordings from classified documents probe
The White House has 'protective assertion of privilege over any remaining materials responsive to the subpoenas that have not already been produced'
By Emma Colton , David Spunt Fox News
Published May 16, 2024 8:49am EDT | Updated May 16, 2024 9:08am EDT
The White House asserted executive privilege over audio and video recordings related to Special Counsel Robert Hur's interviews with President Biden.
"I write to inform you that the President has asserted executive privilege over the requested audio recordings and is making a protective assertion of privilege over any remaining materials responsive to the subpoenas that have not already been produced," Associate Attorney General Carlos Uriarte wrote in a letter Thursday to Reps. Jim Jordan and James Comer, chairmen of the Committee on the Judiciary and Committee on Oversight and Accountability, respectively.
"It is the longstanding position of the executive branch held by administrations of both parties that an official who asserts the President’s claim of executive privilege cannot be prosecuted for criminal contempt of Congress."
Hur led the investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents following his departure as vice president under the Obama administration. Hur announced in February that he would not recommend criminal charges against Biden for possessing classified materials after his vice presidency, citing that Biden is "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

Economy/Business / Don't Buy The Spin: Americans Are Getting Poorer While Prices Keep Going Up
« Last post by mystery-ak on Today at 01:12:01 pm »Don't Buy The Spin: Americans Are Getting Poorer While Prices Keep Going Up
Will Kessler
Americans’ real weekly earnings dropped sharply in April and still remain well below their level when President Joe Biden first took office, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Real average weekly earnings fell to $1,191.93 in April, declining by 0.4% in the month and 4.8% compared to the start of Biden’s term in January 2021, according to data calculated by the Daily Caller News Foundation from the BLS. Prices have risen over 19% since Biden first took office and 3.4% in the last year, degrading the value of Americans’ wages.

The decline in earnings is also due in part to a decrease in the average number of weekly hours worked, which fell from 34.9 in January 2021 to 34.2 in April, according to the BLS.
Real wages have been degraded due to persistently high inflation under Biden, which was measured in April at 3.4% year-over-year after peaking at 9% in June 2022.

Immigration/Border / Report: Biden Planning Executive Order to Close Border

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Thursday, 16 May 2024 08:43 AM EDT
President Joe Biden is planning to announce executive action allowing him to close the U.S.-Mexico border when the number of immigrants coming into the United States climbs to 4,000 per day, according to a new report.
It's not clear when Biden would issue the order, the New York Post reported Wednesday, citing an unnamed federal government source.
But another source close to the White House said the order would tie into a provision in the bipartisan bill the Senate rejected in February that would have given Biden the authority to start expelling migrants when border crossings reached a daily average of 4,000.
