Masked men in vests for Donald Trump's U.S. Customs and Border Protection are seen in a viral video "violently detaining a Santa Ana father before forcing him into the back of an unmarked car," according to KTLA News.

As KTLA reports, "In a graphic video that has since gone viral on social media, about 7 or more masked men wearing U.S. Border Patrol vests are seen violently detaining a Santa Ana father before forcing him into the back of an unmarked car."

The incident reportedly took place on Saturday....

A bipartisan border security bill earlier this year died after former President Donald Trump demanded the GOP not fix an issue they could try to attack President Joe Biden over during an election cycle. But House Republicans loyal to Trump are continuing to deny that was the reason — one of the loudest denials coming from Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL).

In fact, Donalds said on Newsmax in a discussion on the upcoming presidential debate next week, the House GOP was already opposed to the bill — because the text got leaked to them beforehand on social media.

"[Biden's] gonna say that, oh, the Senate bill was good, but Donald Trump blocked it. That's a lie," said Donalds. "When the elements of the Senate bill were being leaked on X, House Republicans from Speaker Johnson all down, we rejected the bill based upon what we were being — what was being reported on social media." And when the press pushed back that they didn't have the bill yet, said Donalds, the GOP said, “If the full bill sounds anything like what’s in these tweets, I'm telling you right now it's dead on arrival in the House.”...

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is in hot water with the progressive wing of his party over his new, tough-on-migrant border policy.

"I think it's a profound disappointment," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told Raw Story after voting on the House floor Wednesday.

Biden’s new executive order will force asylum seekers to be turned back at the border whenever the seven-day average for migrant encounters — an unscientific measurement that sometimes double or triple counts asylum seekers — tops 2,500 between entry points. ...

Donald Trump suffers more and more "aphasia every day," but the mainstream media is talking about President Joe Biden instead, according to conservative attorney and activist George Conway.

Conway, a one-time supporter of Trump's political ambitions who has since become one of the former president's most prominent critics, on Sunday pointed to a line from Trump's rally the day before. The ex-president was talking about Biden's border policies, insisting that people who cross into the U.S. do not "speak English!"

"They don't speak English!" Trump said at his New Jersey rally, referring to migrant children. ...

Donald Trump went to the border on Thursday, promising to "fix" it but without providing his specific plans as to how.

Still, it wasn't his plans that were drawing attention. In a speech, Trump also rambled about illegal immigrants who "don't speak languages."

There were some criticisms of Trump's speech, including by those who say they saw visible disgust on the face of a serviceman near the ex-president....

Donald Trump appeared at a border town in Texas to succinctly explain the immigration policy he implemented as the former president.

"If you broke the law, we caught you, we deported you," Trump said. "Or we did something else."

The "something else" Trump reference in his Eagle Pass speech Thursday afternoon remained open to interpretation hours later among viewers who caught video of the statement on X. ...
