Report: Nearly 38,000 Chinese Illegals Still in U.S. Despite Deportation Orders
Nearly 38,000 Chinese illegal aliens remain living across the United States despite having been ordered deported by a federal immigration judge, a new report details.
The figures, obtained and published by Fox News’s Bill Melugin, show several tens of thousands of illegal aliens living in the U.S. from adversarial countries even as federal immigration judges have required the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport them.
For instance, some 37,908 Chinese; 2,618 Iranian; 7,760 Pakistani; 1,708 Afghan; and 22,749 Venezuelan illegal aliens are still in the U.S. after having been found to have no legitimate asylum claims and thus ordered deported.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) said President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have “hamstrung ICE’s ability to detain and remove those here illegally — even those who have been ordered to be removed by immigration judges.”
Similarly, more than 32,000 Haitians, nearly 18,000 Indians, over 38,000 Brazilians, almost 4,000 Mauritanians, and nearly 1,000 Uzbeks are in the U.S. despite final deportation orders.
The figures show that the overwhelming majority of the more than 1.4 million illegal aliens still in the U.S. but ordered deported are from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. Close to a million of these ordered-deported illegal aliens are from these four countries.
None of the 1.4 million illegal aliens are detained by ICE agents as of last month despite thousands of available detention beds, already funded by Congress.
In one such document published by Melugin, ICE officials claim the agency is “unable to provide a list of case-specific reasons why the agency is unable to remove certain noncitizens on the non-detained docket with final orders.”
“It is absolutely critical that Congress fully supports the incoming Trump administration’s efforts to undo this damage and once again enforce our immigration laws and secure our borders,” Green said.

A New Chapter Of The Bible Was Found Hidden Inside 1,750-Year-Old Text
The newly unveiled chapter offers an expanded version of Matthew 12, a passage where Jesus and his disciples are criticized for picking grain on the Sabbath. In this version, subtle textual variations bring fresh theological nuances to light, emphasizing compassion and mercy over rigid observance of religious laws. While the core message aligns with established teachings, these differences hint at the dynamic and adaptive nature of early Christian scripture.
Written in ancient Syriac, one of the earliest languages used to transmit biblical texts, the chapter provides a rare glimpse into Christianity’s early cultural diversity. Syriac was instrumental in spreading scripture beyond its Jewish origins, tailoring messages to resonate with varied linguistic and cultural communities. This adaptation reflects the pragmatic approach of early Christians, who shaped their sacred texts to meet the needs of a rapidly growing faith.
What’s particularly striking is the role of early scribes. Far from being passive transcribers, they actively engaged with the material, reinterpreting and preserving it in ways that reflected their own spiritual and societal realities. This hidden chapter, with its emphasis on mercy, reveals a faith not rigidly bound to dogma but alive with reinterpretation and evolution—a window into the beliefs and priorities of communities navigating the complexities of their time.
The Technology That Unveiled the Forgotten Chapter
It’s hard to believe that something written almost 2,000 years ago could still be hiding in plain sight. But that’s exactly what happened here. Using ultraviolet light, researchers managed to reveal a forgotten chapter of the Bible, hidden beneath layers of overwritten text on an ancient manuscript. It’s like uncovering a secret message written centuries ago, invisible to the naked eye but waiting to be found.
The process wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. Think about it—this manuscript is old, fragile, and irreplaceable. Every move had to be precise, every scan done with the utmost care. Months of work went into piecing together faint traces of erased ink, with experts from all over—historians, linguists, scientists—working side by side. It’s amazing to think that this discovery wouldn’t have been possible even a few decades ago. The tools they used, like UV imaging, are giving us new ways to see the past in ways we never thought possible.
But here’s what really gets you thinking—what else is out there? If something as groundbreaking as a hidden chapter of the Bible can be uncovered, what other secrets might still be lying in wait? This is more than a cool tech story; it’s a reminder that history always has more to give, as long as we keep asking the right questions.

NATO tells members to divert social spending to militaries
Security comes above all else, the US-led bloc’s head Mark Rutte has said
“The goals of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine and durable security for Europe are inseparable. Ukraine must prevail,” the statement said.
The countries pledged to support an end to the conflict in accordance “with full respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
“We reaffirm our commitment to President Zelensky’s Peace Formula, as a credible path towards a just and lasting peace,” the statement read.
Kiev’s backers vowed to “support Ukraine on its irreversible path to full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership,” as well as “its path towards accession to the European Union.”
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga thanked the six nations and the EU for “candid discussion and readiness to take concrete steps.” He called for additional sanctions, targeting Russia’s metallurgy, shipping, and banks. “We are closely monitoring the increase in trade with the countries that have not imposed sanctions on Russia,” he said.

“I know spending more on defense means spending less on other priorities. But it is only a little less,” Rutte said on Thursday.
“On average, European countries easily spend up to a quarter of their national income on pensions, health and social security systems. We need a small fraction of that money to make our defenses much stronger, and to preserve our way of life,” he added.
While NATO members are spending more of their GDP on the military than a decade ago, that’s nowhere near the Cold War levels, Rutte argued, noting that the US-led military bloc will “need a lot more than 2%” if it wants to defend Europe against an allegedly aggressive Russia.
Spending billions on weapons will bring security, Rutte argued, and “without security, there is no freedom for our children and grandchildren. No schools, no hospitals, no businesses. There is nothing.”

PM said warned while hospitalized months before Oct. 7 of Israel’s exposure to attack
Report says security chiefs told Netanyahu right after he had pacemaker fitted that country’s foes saw overhaul tensions as opportunity to strike; PM’s office: ‘Slander and lies’
While recovering at the hospital after having a pacemaker fitted in the summer of 2023, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned by security chiefs that Israel appeared increasingly vulnerable to attack, with the country’s foes viewing the deep societal strains over the government’s judicial overhaul push as an opportune time to strike, according to an investigative television report aired Thursday.
The revelation that Shin Bet head Ronen Bar and military chief Herzi Halevi both relayed warnings to Netanyahu while he was hospitalized that July on the eve of the final Knesset votes on the first piece of coalition legislation to curb the judiciary’s independence was among a number of dramatic new details that Channel 12’s “Uvda” reported relating to the devastating Hamas-led terror onslaught several months later, sparking the ongoing war in Gaza and correlated fighting throughout the region.
The TV program also cited transcripts of Netanyahu’s initial conversations with his then-military secretary shortly after Hamas launched its invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023, as they sought to understand the scope of the attack that would result in the worst massacre of Jews in a day since the Holocaust; said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told fellow cabinet ministers during a meeting later that day the public would be justified in demanding their resignations; and further reported on the alleged doctoring of the transcripts by a top aide to Netanyahu.
The Prime Minister’s Office lashed out at “Uvda” and its anchor Ilana Dayan over the report, denouncing it as “slander and lies against Prime Minister Netanyahu aimed at harming the right-wing government.”
“The conscious-engineering enterprise ‘Uvda’ will continue with the propaganda and mask of lies, while Prime Minister Netanyahu will continue leading Israel to a historic victory,” the statement from the premier’s office stated, while pushing back against a number of specific claims by the investigative program.
