SASABE, Ariz. — The 15 migrant children, weary and hungry, stumbled toward a gap in the rust-colored border wall that soars between Mexico and Arizona, nearing the end of their two-week trek north. Unexpectedly, a man in a cap emblazoned with a blackened American flag — traditionally, a message that “no quarter” will be given to the enemy — approached them and coaxed them to his campsite.

 

Soon, the girls and boys, who were from Guatemala, were sitting under a blue tent devouring hamburgers and sausages. Their host for the day in this remote part of the Arizona desert, Jason Frank, an enthusiastic follower of the QAnon movement, distributed “Let’s Go Brandon” T-shirts featuring an image of President Biden. Giggling and confused, the children changed into the shirts and posed for a group photo. Later, they formed a prayer circle with Mr. Frank and the rest of his team before the Border Patrol showed up.

 

Mr. Frank and his group, guns holstered on their hips, have been camping out near Sasabe, Ariz., as a self-appointed border force with the stated aim of protecting the thousands of migrant children who have been arriving from the evils of sex trafficking — a favorite QAnon theme.

 

They are the latest in what over the years has developed into a cottage industry of dozens of armed civilians who have packed camouflage gear, tents and binoculars and deployed along the southern border.

 

Mr. Frank, a QAnon influencer whose Facebook page in recent months has shown him pictured with such conservative celebrities as Donald J. Trump Jr., Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell, has fashioned his team into a new style of border enforcers, motivated not so much by halting immigration as by guarding the country from other perceived threats — in this case, an unfounded conspiracy theory that migrant children are being funneled into pedophilia rings.

 

“They are being trafficked, sex trafficked. That’s the No. 1 trade,” Mr. Frank, 44, said as he name-dropped from his list of purported conspirators, starting with the late Jeffrey Epstein. “The money, that’s where it’s at now,” he said.

 

The federal government has long had concerns that the hundreds of thousands of migrant children who have made their way alone across the border over nearly a decade could be vulnerable to criminal exploitation, and it has put into place an intensive vetting effort to ensure that the young immigrants share legitimate connections with the relatives or family friends who come forward to take them.

 

But minors crossing the southern border as part of sex-trafficking schemes is unusual, according to groups that monitor and combat trafficking.

 

“We haven’t heard about migrant children brought in to be sex workers or slaves,” said Stacey Sutherland, an official with the Arizona Anti-Trafficking Network. “At the border, it’s overwhelmingly people who paid to be smuggled.”

 

Federal officials declined to comment on the QAnon group’s activities, and it was unclear whether the volunteers had broken any laws.

 

For leaders of QAnon, suspicions that migrant children are falling into the hands of sexual predators fit neatly into the movement’s core conspiracy theory — that an elite cabal of pedophiles led by prominent Democrats is preying on innocent children, an elaborate fantasy that gave rise to the PizzaGate drama during the 2016 presidential campaign. But the new focus on immigration, analysts say, also serves to drum up political support and raise money by tapping into people’s inherent instinct to protect children while promoting hard-line border policies.

 

“The kids are a prop for them to use to spread their message,” said Mia Bloom, an expert on extremist radicalization and the co-author of “Pastels and Pedophiles: Inside the Mind of QAnon.”

Amy Schumer has tested positive for COVID-19.

 

The comedian and actress, 40, shared her diagnosis in a video posted on Instagram over the weekend.

 

In the clip, Schumer is seen sitting in a bedroom as she shares she's "lonely" and jokes that COVID gave her an "incredible Elizabeth Holmes voice."

 

"This is what I sound like now that I have COVID," Schumer continues in reference to the Theranos founder who was convicted of criminal fraud. Schumer also shares in the clip that she's "bored" and "away from my family."

 

In a follow-up post on Sunday, the Trainwreck actress shared a video of herself lying in bed while sick.

 

"All that matters to me at this point is Anna Delvey," Schumer says in the clip, referring to Anna Sorokin, a con-woman who was accused of pretending to be a wealthy German heiress.

 

"I know a lot of people have reached out saying, like, they hope that I feel better and that they're psyched about my Theranos voice, but my whole world is Anna Delvey," she continues.

 

Adds Schumer, who shares son Gene David with husband Chris Fischer: "And that's who I am now."

 

Schumer's bout with COVID comes after she shared that she hadn't yet tested positive for the illness while appearing on an episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday evening.

 

At the time, host Seth Meyers pointed out that Schumer was one of the "few people" he knew that hadn't been diagnosed with COVID.

 

As Schumer joked around that "God has a plan" and "He chooses the people He loves," the comedian teased: "I'm a little smug about it, I haven't had it yet."

 

She then doubled down on her theory that God is on her side, playfully exclaiming, "Hey, He's looking out," as she pointed upwards.

Hunter Biden working with Hollywood lawyer to investigate laptop leak: Report

Anders Hagstrom - 1h ago

 

Hunter Biden has enlisted a top Hollywood lawyer as an "attorney and trusted adviser" to investigate how his laptop became public, among other things, CBS reported Monday.

 

The attorney, Kevin Morris, is reportedly working on a documentary on President Joe Biden's son, and went so far as to pay off the younger Biden's past-due tax debts, according to CBS. His arrangement with Morris comes as he is facing a federal investigation into his taxes in Delaware, which is largely being handled by criminal defense attorney Christopher Clark.

 

Clark reportedly confirmed to CBS that Morris is working as an "attorney and trusted adviser" to Biden. Morris also has a long history as a donor to Democratic candidates, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to candidates and super PACs since 2007.

 

Morris is reportedly conducting a forensic investigation into Biden's laptop, which became public prior to the 2020 election.

 

The New York Post first wrote about the contents of the laptop after the owner of a computer repair shop in Delaware said Biden had checked the device into his store but never picked it up. Biden and his laptop have been at the center of a political firestorm ever since, as tech companies and much of the media sought to censor the now-confirmed story.

 

Morris' documentary on Biden will reportedly focus on the events since the laptop first became public.

 

The law firm Morris founded in Los Angeles has represented Matthew McConaughey, Ellen DeGeneres, Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Saldana, Zach Galifianakis, Chris Rock and Laura Linney, among others. Morris no longer works at the firm, however.
