The Somali man came across our southern border a couple of years ago and asked for asylum claiming he was escaping al-Shabaab (aren’t they all!) , but the government had already determined that he must be deported because he was on that aborted 2017 deportation flight.
See one of my reports here at RRW. I don’t think there was ever a full explanation of what went wrong with that flight to Somalia.
Now he is still in detention in New Hampshire and the ACLU wants answers and wants him released.

ICE Cracking Down on "Fake Families"
I chuckled when I saw this news at Newsweek because the phrase “fake families” shows that this Administration gets it!
As I’ve been telling you, the Left generally controls the language and their widespread use of the phrase “new Americans” is one such example.
For Open Borders activists, “New Americans” is an all-encompassing way to describe all migrants, whether legal refugees or illegal aliens, meant to erase any differences between them and make the uninformed listener or reader feel warm and welcoming toward all.
Kudos to the Trump team for coining the phrase “fake families” to describe those arriving illegally at our border with a child in tow (someone else’s child in tow!).
By the way, there were thousands of fake Somali families discovered by the US State Department in 2008 causing the entire family reunification program for Somalis to be closed for years. See one early post here at RRW.

Think About It! A UN Staff Person is Deciding who Will Become a New American
“Given such high stakes, and the reports of abuses, the U.S. government might want to reconsider the whole resettlement referral system put in place by UNHCR.”
(Nayla Rush, Center for Immigration Studies)
That is the conclusion that Nayla Rush at the Center for Immigration Studies comes to after doing a deep dive into that recent NBC investigation about fraud and corruption within the United Nations as it does the first sorting-out of potential refugees for America.
See my report here about what NBC found.
What Rush prescribes is exactly what the Trump Administration should have been doing from day one—REFORMING the entire system of refugee resettlement that begins in Africa, Asia, or the Middle East when a wannabe refugee first registers with the UN for permanent resettlement.
Rush’s report (published yesterday) is here and this is her wrap-up (emphasis is mine),
UNHCR Corruption: Resettlement Spots for a Price
The United States is entrusting the local staff of UNHCR with the selection of refugees eligible for resettlement in the United States, and entrusting the RSC staff with pre-screening and preparation of case files for resettlement applicants. We don’t know much about these men and women the U.S. government believes possess the exceptional good judgment, expertise, and integrity needed to make refugee determinations and resettlement referrals. But we do know that most work in difficult conditions and are citizens of unsettled countries where corruption is at times deemed an acceptable, even necessary, means of survival.
Let’s not forget that resettlement is one of UNHCR’s “durable solutions”. Resettled refugees are required by law “to apply for a green card (permanent residence) in the United States one year after being admitted as a refugee”.18 They can apply for citizenship four years later (not five, as the five-year count for refugees starts on the day of arrival). From this perspective, a resettlement card gives access to citizenship. UNHCR staff are, in a way, deciding not only who can move to the United States, they are also choosing who will have the opportunity to become an American. Given such high stakes, and the reports of abuses, the U.S. government might want to reconsider the whole resettlement referral system put in place by UNHCR.
If “vulnerability” is no longer the key to selecting refugees for resettlement, does that mean bribery is?
Read it all here.
For the umpteenth time, Trump did a good job slowing the flow to America especially from countries that have been Islamic terror-producing hot spots. (BTW, Rohingya Muslim arrivals are coming at a fast pace.)
However, the entire flawed system is still firmly in place to be refueled with more of your tax dollars the minute Trump is no longer in the White House.
Maddening!
Omaha: Sudanese Refugee Criminal Gang Busted
“When we’re dealing with gangs, we’re seeing the refugee population being there consistently.”
(Omaha Police Capt. Tom Shaffer)
Oh, the joys of diversity!
Nebraska has been an important refugee resettlement state for the US State Department and its resettlement contractors due to the many meat processing plants located there.***
If you are new to the issue of refugees and their importance as a source of cheap labor for global corporations welcome to the benefits (Ha!) of welcoming refugee workers to your states.
Big companies get cheap labor and taxpaying Americans pay for it in more ways than one!
President Trump has slowed the flow (for now!) of refugees from certain countries.
One gang down and more to go….

Rochester Mayor Responds to Trump Suggestion that Border Jumpers be Sent to Sanctuary Cities
But we don’t have the housing and the resources to care for them, Mayor Lovely Warren said earlier this week!
Exactly!
And, she thinks America does (in some other city)?
The other day I mentioned an idea that apparently is being kicked around in the more-immigration-is-better crowd and that is to turn the asylum seekers (aka illegal aliens) over to refugee resettlement agencies for care.
But, of course, the kicker is that those phony-baloney non-profits are all living off the US taxpayer to begin with.
But what the heck, at least it isn’t the Rochester citizens carrying the burden, right Mayor Warren?
