Floodgates closed: 8 in 10 asylum seekers now booted by judges as Trump attempts to restore borders

By Geoff Earle and David Feb. 14, 2026, 8:30 a.m. ET

Nearly 80 percent of migrants seeking asylum in the US were sent packing in the last quarter, as immigration judges take a tougher line under the Trump administration, which has made it a priority to restore the border.

In that same span there’s been an accompanying spike in deportations. In December, there were 38,215 illegal migrants given the boot, 50% above the 19,265 in December 2023 under President Joe Biden and 35% more than the 24,979 in December 2024, according to data compiled by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

And the enforcement has been sustained, with more than 30,000 deportations every month since Trump took office.

“It’s having a real impact. The Trump Administration is doing all kinds of things to drive down the asylum grant rate,” said Andrew Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Policy and a former immigration judge.

Michael Cutler, who spent 30 years as an agent at the former Immigration and Naturalization Services, cheered the return of common-sense border policy.

“If you look at what asylum is supposed to be, it’s a very narrow definition . . . You have to be able to demonstrate a credible fear and be able to articulate that credible fear of persecution,” he told The Post.

It’s not because there’s a gang that’s doing business down the block or you can’t stand your mother in law or you can’t find a job,” he added.

The hard line is a far cry from the open-door border policy of the Biden years, which saw judges granting a staggering 50% of asylum claims in May 2022, during a year when Customs and Border Protection reported a record-breaking total of 2.76 million people crossed the southern border.

“We could afford to take in a heartbeat, another 4 million people,” Biden said at an Iowa campaign event in 2019. “The idea that a country of 330 million people cannot absorb people who are in desperate need and who are justifiably fleeing oppression is absolutely bizarre.”

Trump tapped into the public outrage by using his campaign rallies to highlight senseless killings of Americans like Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal migrant while jogging at the University of Georgia in 2024.

Last year, Victor Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal migrant from El Salvador was given a life sentence for the 2023 savage rape and murder of Maryland mom of five Rachel Morin.

“That’s what American voted for, they voted for safety… this is the top issue that got him elected, and he’s keeping his word,” Rachel’s mom Patricia Morin told The Post this week.

“We have all these unvetted people that are here in America and we don’t know if they really are who they say they are.”

She continued: “Democrats keep talking about how bad all this is and it’s not compassionate, but it’s not virtue when you only give compassion to the criminal and don’t give a second thought to the victim who has died.”

Maureen Maloney, who has pushed for tighter borders since the death of her son Matthew Denice, 23, who was killed in Milford, Mass. by a drunk-driving illegal migrant from Ecuador in 2011.

“What Biden did to this country with the open borders was treason and Americans will be paying the price for many years to come,” said Maloney, vice president of the group Advocates for Victims of Illegal Alien Crime.

“It’s impossible for President Trump to deport however many millions of illegal aliens that have come across the border during the Biden administration,” she told The Post.

Plummeting asylum approvals mirror the rising public frustration over illegal immigration. Asylum grant rates remained at 50 percent much of 2023 — as Customs and Border Patrol reported being swamped by more than 2.4 million migrants at the Southwest border with 3.2 million so-called “encounters” nationwide.

Only when national polls showed in August 2023 that 70% of Americans disapproved of Biden’s handling of the border — and as he geared up for an ultimately disastrous run at a second term — did the number of asylum grants decline slightly. By 2024, the rate was 40%.

A December Department of Homeland Security release said there were average apprehensions at the border of just 245 per day – a stunning 95% drop from the average during the Biden administration of 5,110 per day.

Asylum decisions are made in immigration courts overseen by officials designated by the Justice Department, who collectively shape the numbers. The Trump administration has been stocking immigration courts with judges from military backgrounds. This month DOJ hired 33 new immigration judges, after hiring 36 in October.

The Pentagon has also been reassigning Judge Advocate General lawyers from the military to immigration courts for temporary assignments to address the backlog…WTF? .

Wray FBI opened 1,200 'assessments' of sensitive figures like politicians, journalists and clergy

2/13/26.1/4

TheFBI opened 1,200 probesrelated to politicians, journalists, religious leaders, academics and others tiedto “sensitive investigative matters,” using a special investigative tool that requires no factual predicate to launch, according to a Government Accountability Office report.

The GAO report, which was obtained by Just the News,was published last month but not made public, and it was titledFBI Investigative Activities: Oversight Efforts of Opening and Conducting Assessments Should be Strengthened.

The report, which assists in congressional oversight of the executive branch,provided details on the roughly 127,000 FBI "assessments" in all opened from 2018 to 2024, the vast majority of which were eventually closed without accusations of wrongdoing or criminal charges against those targets being scrutinized.

The 57-pagereport did not include any names of those targeted for assessment.

Among thetotal assessments, 1,200 were related to "sensitive investigative matters" that target public officials, news organizations, houses of worship or members of academia, which the bureau views as more sensitive in nature.

So-called "assessments" were established by Justice Department guidelines in 2008, providing the FBI with an investigative tool short of opening a full-fledged investigation requiring a factual predicate.

The probesare used by the bureau to "address a potential threat to national security or potential violation of federal criminal law," the congressional watchdog said. They allow FBI agents to open probes on authorized mattersbut without a factual basisand allow them to employ investigative such techniques as physical surveillance on subjects.

If sufficient basis is found,assessments can turn into preliminary investigations, full investigations or enterprise investigations. But most assessments are closed without meeting the standards for a full inquiry by the bureau, the GAO said.

The revelations were detailed in the GAO's January 2026 report,which was designated "For Official Use Only" because of the sensitive information it contains.GAO noted that the report should be "safeguarded when not being used and destroyed when no longer needed."

Copies were sent only to the appropriate congressional committees, the U.S. attorney general and the FBI directoron a need-to-know basis. The report was first reported on by Racket Newsand is being made public by Just the News.

You can read the report below:

Politicians, journalists, religious leaders and academics scrutinized

Though over 100,000 special probes were produced during the timeframe of GAO's review,a special subset of assessments was designated as dealing with "Sensitive Investigative Matters" – or SIMs – which involve special categories of targets that could present additional challenges. These special assessments made up roughly 1,200 of the total number of assessments conducted from 2018 to 2024.

The categories include “domestic public officials or domestic political candidates(involving corruption or a threat to national security),religious or domestic political organizations or an individual prominentin such organizations, thenews media, an investigativematter with an academic nexus, or any other matter which, in the judgment of the official authorizing the assessment, should be brought to the attention of FBI headquarters and other DOJ officials.”

Assessments designated as a SIM have additional review and approval requirements before they can be opened or continued, the GAO said.

Over 500 SIM assessments in that roughly seven-year period were aimed at “public officials,” over150 targeted religious organizationsorprominent membersthereof,over 100 targeted political organizations or membersthereof, and over50 targeted news media organizations or journalists, the data compiled by the GAO shows.

Thewatchdog review focused on two maincategories ofFBI assessments, titled “Type I/II” assessments and “Type III” assessments. Type I/II assessments typically “seek information, proactively or in response to investigative leads, relating to activities – or the involvement or role of individuals, groups or organizations relating to those activities – constituting violations of federal criminal law or threats to the national security.”

The duration of those types of assessments is allegedly expected to be “relatively short.”

The specialType I/II probes targeting potentially politically and constitutionally sensitive targetswere also unique. The watchdog found that assessments targeting these categories of individuals or groups were converted into actual, predicated investigation at a higher rate than the average assessment.About half, 48%, were converted to an investigation.

The congressional watchdog said thatType III assessments generally “identify, obtain, and utilize information about actual or potential national security threats or federal criminal activities, or the vulnerability to such threats or activities.” This assessment type is allowed to last “as long as necessary to achieve its authorized purpose and clearly defined objective(s).”

Type III assessments were uniquein a different way. For these, theFBI only converted 4% of the roughly 100 Type III SIMassessments into full investigations.

Each type of probe couldlast on average 60 to 180 days, the files show.

Yet thevast majority of the roughly 127,000 assessments did not lead to a follow-on investigation by the bureau, the GAO said, noting that “of the approximate 124,000 Type I/II and 3,000 Type III assessments the FBI opened and subsequently closed, the agency closedroughly 86 percent of Type I/II and 94 percent of Type III assessmentswithout referring them for further investigations.”

FBI officials told the GAO that “many investigative leads that prompt assessments are determined to not be credible, resulting in staff often closing assessments without opening a subsequent investigation.”

GAO assessment triggered by bipartisan concern about FBI trampling on rights

In March 2022, then-Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Jamie Raskin, D-Md., along with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., requested GAO review the FBI’s “practice of surveilling subjects” through “assessments” – raising concerns such probes were not predicated on facts or evidence as in a traditional investigationand alleging the program resulted in improper monitoring of "protected First Amendment" activities.

“We are concerned thatFBI assessments operate as de facto investigations that can be launched without a factual predicate of criminal wrongdoing,” Raskin and Mace wrote in the letter, which triggered the review. “We ask that GAO examinewhether assessments result in the improper monitoring of protected First Amendment activity—including by political, racial, or religious organizations—and whether the FBI has sufficient controls in place to ensure that they do not run afoul of constitutional protections.”

You can read the congressional letter below:

They pointed specifically to the Guidelines for Domestic FBI Operations, which were revised by the Justice Department in 2008 to include the new category of assessments. According to those guidelines,such assessments “require an authorized purpose but not any particular factual predication.”

The guidelines provide that theFBI can employ “intrusive investigative techniques,” including the use of informants and physical surveillance ontargets not accused of criminal activity or who are not national security threats, the House members wrote. Between 2008 and 2011, theFBI had opened 82,235 with fewer than 4,000 yielding any information to form a basis to open an official investigation, Raskin and Mace wrote in the letter.

Those revised guidelines stem from the Justice Department’smotivation to “[prevent] crimes from occurring in the first place.” This is “preferable to allowing criminal plots and activities to come to fruition,” the guidelines read.

The guidelinesprovided expansive potential justifications for an assessment against an individual or group. They “may be undertaken proactively with such objectives as detecting criminal activities” or gathering information on “individuals, groups, or organizations of possible investigative interest either because they may be involved in criminal or national security-threatening activities or because they may be targeted for attack or victimization by such activities.”

Assessments could also be used to assess whether individuals would be valuable to the bureau as human sources, the guidelines show.

'Self-reporting' shortcomings and other compliance problems with FBI assessments

The GAO found that not only had the bureau opened a significant number of assessments on sensitive individuals such as journalists and elected officials that never became predicated investigation, but that there were issues with the FBI's compliance with the assessment policy's guidelines.

“The FBI relies on staff to self-report noncompliance with assessment policy requirements” and that “the FBI noted that self-reporting likely undercounts actual noncompliance, but has not assessed if other tools could identify it," the GAO reported to Congress.

https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/fbi-opened-1200-assessments-politicians-journalists-religious-leaders

>>24259621

4/4

The watchdog said that “each FBI field office receives a National Security Review” roughly every four years, during which the Justice Department audits “a sample of national security assessments and recommends corrective actions as necessary.”

GAO said there were reviews of 988 Type I/II assessments and “information only” incidents which found that approximately 5 percent of those “included instances of insufficient authorized purposes” while roughly 7% of them “included instances of unauthorized investigative methods.”

The watchdog said that “these types of findings occurred at multiple field offices.”

The GAO said that during a review period from 2021 to 2024, 24 of the 56 FBI field offices – or 43% — “had at least one instance of using unauthorized investigative methods for an information only incident.”

One review even identified the FBI opened two assessments that lacked an authorized purpose and, in both instances, conducted investigative activities based solely on the exercise of First Amendment-protected activities," seeming to confirm the fears of Congress that the assessment authority had been used to infringe on constitutionally protected rights.

The watchdog stressed that, despite unearthing wrongdoing, “the FBI does not summarize findings or recommendations from these reports or share such information with other field offices.”

In response to inquiries by the watchdog group, the FBI stated in March 2025 that “it planned to launch a new process to address recommendations from the National Security Reviews.”

The congressional watchdog confirmed that the FBI “began a new process to address recommendations from National Security Reviews” in June 2025 “but has not identified who permanently will be responsible for the process to ensure recommendations are addressed.”

Rubio to European leaders: 'We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship'

(Trump sent him, only Marco can do these things without barging!)

Secretary of State Marco Rubio called for U.S. and European leaders to "revitalize an old friendship" in his speech at the annual Munich Security Conference.

Rubio struck a tone that was less confrontational than remarks from other administration officials in recent months, but he still made clear that Washington intends to pursue change in the alliance and in major global institutions.

Speaking on Saturday to the gathered leaders, Rubio highlighted the deep historical connections between the U.S. and Europe and emphasized that their alliance remains vital despite disagreements on certain issues.

"We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history," he said.

At the conference, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz set the stage by urging that the United States and Europe “repair and revive trans-Atlantic trust together.” European leaders reinforced that they would continue to uphold their own positions on free speech, climate policy and free trade.

Rubio reiterated key critiques of current Western policy trends, including whathe described as “a climate cult” and “an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies.”

He argued that following the end of the Cold War, the West fell into a “dangerous delusion” that global integration and liberal democracy would spread unchallenged.

"And so this is why we Americans may sometimes come off as a little direct and urgent in our counsel. This is why President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here in Europe. The reason why, my friends, is because we care deeply. We care deeply about your future and ours," he said.

Moderna threatens American jobs after FDA snubs mRNA flu shot, trial looked 'scientifically lax'

Published: February 13, 2026 11:10pm.1/3

(The fucking company should be shut down for knowingly lying and killing people worldwide.)

For years before he became director of the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, epidemiologist Vinay Prasad openly railed against what he perceived as the shoddy design of drug trials and the deference regulators gave them, sending biotech stocks tumbling when Commissioner Marty Makary appointed him.

A vaccine maker that hit the federal jackpot during COVID-19 acted caught off-guard when the former University of California San Francisco medical professor put his gripes into practice, halting its FDA application for a new mRNA flu vaccine based on what he considered weak trial design.

Moderna accused Prasad, who described his predecessor Peter Marks as a "bobblehead" for drug approval, of changing the rules in the middle of the game by refusing to review its biologics license application (BLA) without citing "specific safety or efficacy concerns."

Prasad's Feb. 3 "refusal to file" letter – which Moderna posted a week later on its COVID resources page for some reason – says the FDA warned the company before it even started the mRNA flu trial that the proposed design raised red flags.

"CBER does not consider the application to contain a trial 'adequate and well-controlled' and the application is therefore, on its’ [sic] face, inadequate for review," because the control arm "does not reflect the best-available standard of care in the United States at the time of the study," Prasad said, which was "consistent with FDA's advice" before the study.

This was just the agency's "preliminary review of the application and is not indicative of deficiencies that would be identified later," when the FDA conducts a "substantive review," Prasad emphasized, implying fresh hurdles for Moderna even if it runs a new trial.

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel responded with his own thinly veiled threat against Prasad, who had already left the administration once under assault from populist and corporate conservatives who blasted his avowed support for progressive policies and more regulation before Prasad joined the administration.

CBER's decision, which Bancel reiterated "did not identify any safety or efficacy concerns with our product, does not further our shared goal of enhancing America's leadership in developing innovative medicines," said the billionaire Frenchman, who came to Boston-based Moderna from French diagnostics company BioMerieux.

"We look forward to engaging with CBER to understand the path forward as quickly as possible so that America's seniors, and those with underlying conditions, continue to have access to American-made innovations," Bancel said, hinting the company would take jobs overseas if the FDA continued its current trajectory.

Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Andrew Nixon told Just the News Moderna ignored "very clear FDA guidance from 2024 to test its product in a clinical trial against a CDC-recommended flu vaccine to compare safety and efficacy."

The company gave trial participants 65 and older "a substandard of care against the recommendation of FDA scientists" by using standard-dose vaccines, rather than "a subset of high dose flu shots," as the control in their trial, thus exposing them to an "increased risk of severe illness," Nixon wrote in an email. He didn't answer a followup seeking the FDA's written communications cited in Moderna's press release.

https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/moderna-threatens-american-jobs-after-fda-snubs-mrna-flu-shot-trial

>>24259701

Moderna spokesperson Chris Ridley told Just the News it had "produce[d] in the press release the relevant language from FDA" when asked for those written communications.

"The industry depends on clear, transparent rules that are applied consistently in order to make the long-term investments that benefit Americans," Ridley wrote in an email when asked why Moderna wouldn't calibrate the study in light of Prasad's reputation as a stickler for trial design.

"In this case, the FDA reviewed and cleared the trial design as adequate before the study began 18 months ago. Then in August of 2025, upon success of the trial, the FDA indicated the use of comparator – which is worth noting is an FDA approved vaccine – would be a point of discussion during the review period," he said. "Now, however, they have refused to even have that discussion."

'A more potent control might have narrowed or erased the efficacy gap'

"Comparing a new vaccine only to a weaker, non-preferred option creates a biased yardstick," Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge founder and CEO James Lyons-Weiler, a former University of Pittsburgh senior research scientist, wrote in an analysis of the dispute.

The study design "inflates the apparent relative benefit and fails to show whether the new product is truly an advance over the vaccines that seniors should be receiving today," he wrote. "A more potent control (like Fluzone High-Dose) might have narrowed or erased the efficacy gap that Moderna observed."

The publication of the RTF letter crashed a Moderna stock rally earlier in the day, Feb. 10, dropping its share price 10% in after-hours trading, according to Seeking Alpha stock analyst Stephen Ayers, who said it reiterates why he lists Moderna as "sell."

"While I believe the FDA is in 'the wrong' for issuing an RTF instead of just reviewing the data and asking for more, comparing a new-age mRNA vaccine to an older, weaker standard-dose vaccine for seniors – even if deemed acceptable – may have understandably come off as scientifically lax," Ayers wrote.

Drugmakers had a friendly relationship with Prasad's predecessor, Marks, who overruled FDA career scientists and advisers to first approve, then expand a pediatric gene therapy, whose distribution Prasad pressured its maker to halt in the wake of three deaths.

Days after Sarepta Therapeutics paused Elevidys last summer, President Trump whisperer Laura Loomer attacked Prasad as a "leftist saboteur," followed by The Wall Street Journal editorial board dubbing him a "Bernie Sanders Acolyte in MAHA Drag."

The FDA quickly lifted the hold, and the White House threw Prasad under the bus, prompting his resignation, but Makary coaxed Prasad back less than two weeks later. By Thanksgiving, Prasad was flexing again, imposing stricter guidelines for vaccine approvalsafter the agency confirmed 10 children died “after and because of” receiving a COVID vaccine.

Shortchanging trial design means losing 'at least' two flu seasons

The only FDA document provided in Moderna's press release is Prasad's 2-page RTF letter, though the company quotes from others it did not provide.

Following Moderna's submission of the Phase 3 trial protocol in April 2024, CBER's "written guidance" said it would be "acceptable" for the company to "use a licensed standard dose influenza vaccine as the comparator,"but the agency "recommend[s]" using high-dose vaccines among participants 65 and up, according to Moderna.

The latter are "preferentially recommended for use in older adults," and the data on "comparative efficacy" of Moderna's new vaccine against these high-dose vaccines "may help inform" the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' recommendation for the new vaccine in older people, the guidance said.

"If you proceed with using a standard dose influenza vaccine comparator in participants ≥65 years of age, we agree with your plan to include statements in the Informed Consent Form," CBER said, according to Moderna.

The company said it had a "pre-submission" meeting with CBER in August 2025 after the Phase 3 efficacy trial met "all agreed upon pre-specified primary endpoints."

The "written feedback" from CBER asked for "supportive analyses on the comparator" in Moderna's submission, indicating the data would be a "significant issue" for the BLA, and Moderna complied by providing data from a separate Phase 3 trial comparing the new vaccine against "a licensed high-dose influenza vaccine."

Prasad's RTF letter was the first time CBER frowned on the "adequacy" of the trial in nearly two years of back-and-forth, Moderna said.

"It should not be controversial" to use "an FDA-approved vaccine as a comparator," which CBER "agreed on" before the trial started, Bancel said.

Lyons-Weiler, the IPAK CEO, emphasized thatModerna had "ethical and practical considerations" in what to use as a comparator, given that high-dose vaccines weren't recommended for middle-age adultswhen it planned its studies, and that the FDA "initially acquiesced" to this "middle path."

The problem is its "headline claim" that the mRNA shot was 26.6% more effective than the standard jab – comparable to "what prior enhanced vaccines achieved over standard-dose products" – comes from a trial that "pooled adults 50 and over, using a suboptimal control for those over 65," undermining its "clinical significance," Lyons-Weiler wrote.

Seeking Alpha's Ayers said Moderna didn't seem to appreciate there's a new sheriff in town with higher standards and underestimated the "bumpiness" it would face.

By not comparing "a vaccine to the best version currently given to that specific group," Moderna is likely to miss "at least two influenza seasons" and lose ground against competitors, as it's forced to conduct an outcomes trial against the high-dose vaccine, Ayers said.

Pentagon used Claude AI to kidnap Maduro – media

Anthropic has publicly touted its focus on “safeguards,” seeking to limit the military use of its technology

The US military actively used Anthropic’s Claude AI model during the operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro last month, according to reports from Axios and the Wall Street Journal –revealing that the company’s technology played a direct role in the overseas raid.

Claude was utilized during the operation, not merely in preparatory phases, Axios and the WSJ both reported on Friday.The role remains unclear, though the military has used AI models before to analyze satellite imagery and intelligence in real-time.

The San Francisco-basedAI lab’s usage policies explicitly prohibit its technology from being used to “facilitate violence, develop weapons or conduct surveillance.”No Americans lost their lives in the raid, but dozens of Venezuelan and Cuban soldiers and security personnel were killed on January 3.

“We cannot comment on whether Claude, or any other AI model, was used for any specific operation, classified or otherwise,”an Anthropic spokesperson told Axios. “Any use of Claude – whether in the private sector or across government – is required to comply with our Usage Policies.”

Anthropic rivals OpenAI, Google, and Elon Musk’s xAI all have deals granting the Pentagon access to their models without many of the safeguards that apply to ordinary users. But only Claude is deployed, via partnershipwith Palantir Technologies, on the classified platforms used for the US military’s most sensitive work.

The revelation comes at an awkward moment for the company, which has spent recent weeks publicly stressing its commitment to AI safeguards and positioning itself as the safety-conscious alternative within the AI industry.

CEO Dario Amodei haswarned of the existential dangers posed by the unconstrained use of AI.On Monday, the head of Anthropic’sSafeguards Research Team, Mrinank Sharma, abruptly resigned with a cryptic warning that “the world is in peril.” Days later, the company poured $20 million into a political advocacy group backing robust AI regulation.

Anthropic is reportedly negotiating with the Pentagon over whether to loosen restrictions on deploying AI for autonomous weaponstargeting and domestic surveillance. The standoff has stalled a contract worth up to $200 million, with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth vowing not to use models that “won’t allow you to fight wars.”

What happens when AI becomes able to make their own decisions? Its already happening, as discussed in a document posted a week ago, from an AI creator.
