Marines Refine Combat Skills in Expeditionary Environment Exercise

In a gritty field exercise at Camp Pendleton, two Marines got down to business in an underground bunker, racing against time to repair a drone's flight controller and stay one step ahead in the game. Lance Cpl. Vincenzo Morrison and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Daniel Opper II put their skills to the test in a…

#MAGA senator slams illegal immigrants as 'criminals' — then steps in to free ICE detainee

"MAGA Sen. #JohnKennedy (R-LA), who has been a fervent supporter of Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts to deport undocumented migrants, reversed course when it came to one of his constituents, according to The New York Times.

"Kennedy told Fox News on July 17, 'If you’re in our country illegally, you’re a criminal. Illegal immigration is illegal, duh.'

"And yet, the senator's office recently asked the Department of Homeland Security to release 25-year-old #PaolaClouatre after two months in a #Louisiana #DetentionCenter, the report said.

"Clouatre is a Mexican citizen and mother of two young children who is married to a U.S. #MarineCorps #veteran.

" 'In an email on Tuesday morning, Christy Tate, the constituent services representative in Mr. Kennedy’s office, wrote to Mr. Clouatre to confirm that his wife had been released from ICE custody after her office had made a formal request to the federal agency,' the report said.

"The email read in part, 'I am so happy for you and your family. We will continue to keep you, your family and others that are experiencing the same issues in our prayers.' [Because of you, Mr. Kennedy!!!]

"Reporter Pooja Salhotra wrote that Clouatre came to the United States as a teenager 'to seek asylum with her mother and brother.' After her mother failed to show up for a court hearing in California in 2018, a judge issued a deportation order against the teen.

"Now estranged from her mother, Clouatre said she didn't learn of the deportation order until earlier this year 'when she was already in the process of applying for a #greencard, the report said.

"She was detained by ICE agents on May 27 shortly after giving birth, and while attending a 'routine appointment in New Orleans related to her application for a green card and #PermanentResident status,' according to the report.

"During her incarceration, Clouatre's husband brought the couple's 9-week-old baby to the jail so she could breastfeed. [How Christian of them!] She is currently wearing an ankle monitor and awaiting a court date for her immigration proceedings."

The #Defendant is #MarineCorps #veteran who is accused of #shooting both #victims after completing a paid #sexact, when he demanded his money back before opening fire. One of the #victims #died immediately, the other was #paralyzed and died last year. The #victims also were prominent local #dragperformers (2/2)

The president’s comments come as hundreds of top #military positions are now w/o a #Senate-confirmed permanent officeholder, among them the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff & the #commandant of the #MarineCorps. The vacancies, accumulating as top officials reach retirement age, have typically been nominated & confirmed by the Senate in slates.

“The idea that we don’t have a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the idea that we have all these promotions & we don’t know what’s going to happen, the idea that we’re injecting into fundamental foreign policy decisions what, in fact, is a domestic social debate is bizarre,” Pres #Biden said in response to a reporter’s question.

President #Biden called #Tuberville’s block on #military promotions “ridiculous” & “totally irresponsible.” He also noted the immediate impact the hold has already had.
