Biden Regime Threatens to Mass Release Thousands of Illegals from Detention Following Senate’s Failure to Pass Disastrous Open Border Legislation

The Senate’s $95 billion foreign aid package passed earlier this week included no border provisions for the open US border.

Early Tuesday, the Senate passed Schumer’s supplemental aid package and allocated $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. 22 Republicans voted in favor of giving foreign countries money while ignoring the crisis at the US border.

The $95 billion package died in the House. Speaker Johnson immediately shut it down without a vote.

Now the Biden regime says ICE will likely have to release thousands of illegals in custody because they will lack the funding to keep them detained.

ICE is about $700 million in the negative on their budget, which could have been dealt with if the funding had included border provisions.

This has lead ICE leaders in higher positions of authority to consider releasing about 16,000 illegals in their custody for cost-cutting purposes.

This is the threat from the regime. Either fund our outrageous open border policies or we will release thousands of more illegals on top of the millions of illegals already released inside the country since Joe Biden took office.

Fox News reported:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is at risk of having to release thousands of detainees amid a budget shortfall that will persist after the failure of a Senate border bill.

ICE is currently facing a $700 million budget shortfall that would have been addressed by the Senate border bill that failed to gain traction last week, causing agency leaders to circulate proposals for cost savings such as slashing its detention capacity and releasing roughly 16,000 migrants, according to a report from the Washington Post.

According to the report, the bill would have provided $6 billion in supplemental funding for ICE enforcement operations, a large boost for the agency ahead of spring’s typically busy illegal crossing window.

Pakistan's Khan Decries "Daylight Robbery" As Rivals Form Coalition Govt, Nominate Shehbaz Sharif

Pakistan's army-backed Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have announced an agreement to form a coalition government, despite the currently jailed ex-PM Imran Khan's party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PIT) emerging as clearly the single most popular 'winner' from the Feb.8 elections. No party singularly won an outright majority of seats in parliament, however.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's PPP confirmed that it would help Nawaz Sharif's Muslim League elect a prime minister. Meetings to form an alliance began Tuesday night, and by Wednesday morning it was widely being reported that former PM Shehbaz Sharif, the younger brother of Nawaz, has been nominated.

Crucially, these are the very two parties who were in the coalition that ousted then PM Imran Khan from power in 2022, after which he was slapped with literally over 100 charges of corruption. Khan's supporters have said we are witnessing a process whereby the military and its political allies are 'stealing' an election, after Khan's PIT was already barred from the election, with its candidates forced to run as independents.

The election results saw independents backed by Khan's PIT take 93 out of 266 directly-elected seats. The PML-N won 75 seats with the PPP taking 54 seats.

"The parties present here are almost two-thirds of the house that has been elected," PML-N's Shehbaz Sharif told reporters in the press conference which announced the new coalition.

Interestingly, Sharif gave a nod to Khan and his significant base of supporters, saying the coalition will be willing to talk to him. "Forget and forgive; forgive and forget – come, let's join hands for the betterment of the country," he said. "Sacrifice self-interests set the issue of egos aside."

However, Khan from prison has blasted "stolen votes" and condemned the "misadventure" of his enemies forming a coalition against him once again.

"Such daylight robbery will not only be a disrespect to the citizens but will also push the country's economy further into a downward spiral," the former Pakistan leader said on social media.
