A first-term Republican congresswoman accused the Biden administration of effectively abetting the cartels human trafficking in the way that it resettles children who come over the border alone.
Rep. Lisa McClain of Michigan claimed the U.S. government was facilitating the back-end of the smuggling process after a trip to tour a government holding facility in her home state on Monday.
“What I saw, quite honestly, was sophisticated, organized illegal immigration,” said McClain. “I choose those words very, very carefully because the system and the process that I observed was unbelievable.”
McClain, a former businesswoman who represents a district north of Detroit, visited the Department of Health and Human Services contractor-run facility in Albion, Michigan, where 191 boys between the ages of five and 17 were being held after being flown up from the border. She said she was greeted by two of the 20 law enforcement officers who work in shifts guarding

It appears that some Republican lawmakers aren’t exactly exerting themselves to support Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) after the news broke that he is under investigation for allegedly sex trafficking and having inappropriate relations with a 17-year-old girl. Their reticence to speak on Gaetz’s behalf could indicate they are simply being cautious and waiting until all of the facts come out. But it seems more likely that their silence on the matter is motivated by the lawmaker’s staunch support for former President Donald Trump and his efforts against the GOP establishment.

Hawley Now Says He Wasnât Trying To Overturn Bidenâs Victory
A number of Republicans who previously voted to block President Joe Biden s Electoral College win are suddenly doing an about-face and insisting they were simply trying to protect the integrity of U.S. elections.
Facing harsh backlash for his vote, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on Wednesday attempted to separate himself from the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol the day of the Electoral College certification â which was instigated by pro-Donald Trump extremists and fueled by Trump and the GOP s lies about widespread fraud in the 2020 election â and deny responsibility for trying to overturn its results.
Gov. Ron DeSantis Declines Reporter’s Request to Acknowledge Joe Biden
Gov. Ron DeSantis declined a reporter’s request to acknowledge Democrat Joe Biden as “president-elect” after the Electoral College voted Monday and as President Donald Trump continues his legal challenge in key states.
“It’s not for me to do,” DeSantis told reporters on Tuesday. “Here’s what I would say, obviously we did our thing in Florida. The [Electoral] College voted. What’s going to happen is going to happen.”
“But I can tell you, I think a lot of the frustration for folks that supported the president was we were four years with people not accepting him,” the Republican governor said. “I mean, Hillary [Clinton] the last week of the election was saying [Vladimir] Putin stole it, and I just think that that’s left a lot of people really frustrated with how it’s going to go.”
