Description:
Over 100 people have been arrested and federally charged in a massive Portland fentanyl crackdown, and the details raise serious questions about border security, illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and what Americans are being told about these crimes.
Federal authorities seized more than 100 kilograms of fentanyl—an amount prosecutors said could potentially kill 50 million people—along with firearms and more than $1.3 million in suspected drug proceeds. More than 80% of those charged were reportedly illegal immigrants from Honduras and Mexico. This operation shows why President Trump, ICE, Tom Homan, and federal law enforcement continue emphasizing the connection between immigration enforcement and combating dangerous criminal organizations.
But that is only the beginning.
Glenn Beck breaks down an extraordinary week for President Trump and highlights several major accomplishments that received surprisingly little attention. With so much happening in Washington, even major developments can disappear from the headlines within hours.
— The Supreme Court cleared the way for President Trump's mail-in ballot order to take effect before the midterms.
— DHS can build a federal citizenship list and send it to the states, while the AG can prioritize the prosecutions of officials who give ballots to ineligible voters.
— The State Department is moving to revoke the tourist and business visas of up to 200,000 people who came as visitors and then filed for asylum, the largest action in American history.
— In 14 days this month, ICE arrested almost 1,500 people in Virginia and Maryland alone, including 400 with convictions and pending charges for crimes from sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery, attempted murder, rape, and MS-13 members, in one of the most successful operations ever.
— ICE arrests surged to nearly 50,000 in July, the highest monthly total.
— DHS proposed a $103,000 fee on H-1B visa petitions.
— Philadelphia Fed's Manufacturing Survey showed American factories are having the strongest current conditions in more than five years.
— Manufacturers' expectations for the future surged to the highest level since the beginning of the Reagan boom in 1983, with the biggest one-year jump ever recorded.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is generating controversy after saying President Trump’s White House ballroom should eventually be blown up in an official ceremony. Krasner, whose first campaign benefited from major spending by a George Soros-funded political committee, argued that America should erase this piece of Trump’s legacy after he leaves office. Critics say the comments demonstrate how political opposition can transform into an obsession with destroying everything associated with Trump.
Then comes a potentially enormous national-security story involving China.
The Justice Department says it disrupted a sophisticated China-linked hacking operation targeting some of America's most sensitive institutions, including the DOJ, NASA, Department of Energy, Federal Reserve, NIH, HHS, and the United States Senate.
Federal authorities seized infrastructure allegedly used to scan vulnerable networks, infect devices, conceal cyber activity, and communicate with compromised systems. The operation reportedly had connections to Chinese state interests and had targeted sensitive networks for years.
The implications go far beyond stolen information. Foreign cyber operations can target government agencies, critical infrastructure, election-related information, financial systems, and America's political stability.
Tonight we connect the dots between the fentanyl arrests, Trump’s immigration crackdown, ICE enforcement, Larry Krasner’s controversial comments, Chinese hackers, cybersecurity, election security, and the growing battle over America's national security.
