GOP Rep. Greene Blows Whistle on Joe Biden After Categorized Briefing: ‘I Think People Deserve To Know’

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene sounded off on Wednesday about an alleged incident on the U.S.-Mexico border.

At a Home Homeland Safety Committee listening to in Texas, which Democrats boycotted and refused to attend, Greene requested U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz about an alleged explosive system discovered by Border Patrol brokers. As famous by Mediaite, it turned out to be a ball of sand and duct tape.

“Chief Ortiz, are you aware that there was an explosive device found by Border Patrol agents on January 17th in an area called No Man’s Land, and there’s surveillance of who put it there? And guess what? It wasn’t Americans; it was cartels. Are you aware of that?” Greene requested.

Ortiz declined to acknowledge the incident, citing labeled info.

“I will tell you that some of this information that I receive, I receive in a confidential [sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF)], so I’m going to be a little hesitant of briefing what I know and what I don’t know with respect to some of those, an event like that,” he defined.

“I understand, Chief Ortiz, but I’m not going to be confidential because I think people deserve to know,” Greene declared. “Our Border Patrol agents should not be in those type of conditions where they are at risk of being blown to pieces by the cartels, who, by the way, are criminals, and they should be treated as such.”

“As a matter of fact, I’ve co-sponsored legislation to declare war on the cartels because they are definitely declaring war on us, the American people, and our Border Patrol agents, and I’ve had enough of it, and I know Americans have had enough of it,” she added.

“Now this was supposed to be a full committee. But as you can see, the Democrats are not here. They decided to not — to not show. Why? Well, they said coming here was just a political stunt. You tell me, taking a hearing to the point of the crisis for a firsthand view, are boycotting a hearing because you know we’re going to shine a light on the truth. Which of those is a political stunt? I’d say the political stunt are these empty chairs,” she continued.

Greene tweeted a photograph of the alleged object.

“Explosive found by Border Patrol Agents Jan 17th,” she wrote. “Not only are the Cartels murdering Americans everyday [sic] through drugs and crime, but now they are planting bombs on our land in our country. Our US military needs to take action against the Mexican Cartels. End this Cartel led war against America!”

Fox Information Nationwide Correspondent Invoice Melugin responded to Greene by saying a “high-level CBP source” informed him it was “fake” and simply “filled with dirt.”

NEW: A excessive stage CBP supply tells me that this was a pretend, and was truly full of filth. It was found by Border Patrol brokers in Rio Grande Metropolis within the RGV, and whereas it appeared nefarious, I’m informed it didn’t comprise any explosives. https://t.co/x1iWUQ4scZ

Final week, a federal decide in Florida delivered an enormous blow to President Joe Biden’s administration over its “catch and release” coverage, which allowed international nationals within the nation illegally to be launched into the U.S. as an alternative of deporting them.

Florida state Lawyer Common Ashley Moody filed a lawsuit towards the Biden administration over the “catch and release” coverage, arguing that this system is “illegal.”

A federal decide agreed.

“In a scathing 109-page opinion, U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell for the Northern District of Florida Pensacola Division ruled the Biden administration’s ‘catch-and-release’ policy is unlawful and ‘due to be vacated.’ He also denied the administration’s motion for summary judgment, vacated the administration’s “Parole+ATD” Coverage below the Administrative Procedures Act, and gave the administration seven days to hunt appellate overview and adjust to federal regulation and his ruling,” Simply The Information reported.

Choose Wetherell dominated, “The Court finds in favor of Florida because, as detailed below, the evidence establishes that Defendants have effectively turned the Southwest Border into a meaningless line in the sand and little more than a speedbump for aliens flooding into the country by prioritizing ‘alternatives to detention’ over actual detention and by releasing more than a million aliens into the country – on ‘parole’ or pursuant to the exercise of ‘prosecutorial discretion’ under a wholly inapplicable statute – without even initiating removal proceedings.”

The decide tore into the Biden administration’s insurance policies: “Collectively, these actions were akin to posting a flashing ‘Come In, We’re Open’ sign on the southern border. The unprecedented ‘surge’ of aliens that started arriving at the Southwest Border almost immediately after President Biden took office and that has continued unabated over the past two years was a predictable consequence of these actions.”

“Today’s ruling affirms what we have known all along, President Biden is responsible for the border crisis and his unlawful immigration policies make this country less safe,” Moody stated. “A federal judge is now ordering Biden to follow the law, and his administration should immediately begin securing the border to protect the American people.”
