Biden’s migrant program paused by Texas judge amid fears it would open floodgates to illegals

Joe Biden’s contentious "Keeping Families Together" immigration program has been put on hold by a federal judge in Texas. The two-week stay is a response to lawsuits filed by attorneys general from 16 states, led by the Lone Star State.

First announced by Biden in June, it intends to grant undocumented immigrants whose spouses are US citizens an opportunity to apply for a green card and remain in the country while waiting to obtain legal status. Typically, the wait for citizenship outside of the US could take years.

Republican-led states argue that this program would open the floodgates to even more unauthorized migration. Texas, which has been bearing the brunt of the Biden-Harris border crisis, claims it has had to fork out tens of millions of dollars annually on immigrants living in the state without legal status.

A final decision on the matter is expected shortly before the November presidential election or before a newly elected president takes office in January.

Applauding the decision, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton went on X to say that “This is just the first step. We are going to keep fighting for Texas, our country, and the rule of law.”

Not walking the talk? Macron turns out to be an active Telegram user

French President Emmanuel Macron logged into Telegram three days after the arrest of Pavel Durov, according to media, referring to a former French MP.

The former parliamentarian, who has Macron's number on his phone's contact list, showed the media a chat with him on the messenger app. The day before, three days after Durov's arrest, the president's profile indicated that he had logged onto Telegram "recently."

Macron has been a Telegram user since the beginning of his first presidential campaign, the media notes. After nearly a decade, the messenger is still actively used by members of the French government and politicians of various ranks and parties, and is particularly popular among Macron's supporters, the publication said.

According to French authorities, Telegram's lack of moderation and cooperation with law enforcement, as well as its messenger tools, allegedly make it an accomplice to drug trafficking, pedophilia, and fraud.

Ukraine Mulling Using 'Dirty Bomb,' False-Flag Chemical Provocations with US Help - Russian MoD

Part 2

Ukraine, which regularly violates the Chemical Weapons Convention, is gearing up to stage provocations using toxic chemicals, Russia’s MoD warned. It presented evidence that:


▪️ Ukraine has procured hundreds of tons of toxic chemical precursors that are scheduled by the convention.

▪️ Ukrainian company Reagent imported more than 160 tons of triethanolamine in July 2024.

▪️ Over 400 cases of toxic chemical use by the Ukrainian side have been recorded during the special military operation, featuring compounds such as BZ, prussic acid, chlorine cyanide, and riot-control chemical agents.

▪️ Tests of wipe-samples from chemical equipment found in a lab near Avdeyevka in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) revealed the presence of sodium cyanide, sulphuric acid, and trace amounts of cyanide anion. The lab had been producing 3 kg of toxic substances per day, according to an analysis.

▪️ Shipments of chemical waste and spent nuclear fuel are entering Ukraine through Poland and Romania. Such materials can be used to make a dirty bomb and stage “false flag” chemical provocations.

▪️ Ukraine’s 3rd Airmobile Battalion received chemical irritant ammunition on July 13, 2024, per MoD evidence.

▪️ Ready-to-use agents containing a toxic mixture based on thallium nitrate as well as irritant agents listed in Schedule 3 of the CWC were found in a cache seized from Ukraine’s troops in August 2024.

▪️ Ukrainian forces are being trained to use chemical ammunition with Western artillery systems, captured manuals show.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis:

◻️ Russia will not take the bait of the ‘peace summit’ with Ukraine in an unnamed country of the Global South if it follows the same logic as the previous one in Switzerland, to which Russia was not invited.

◻️ If the West is interested in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, then it needs to sit down at the negotiating table.
