The President
will meet with Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio
Guterres in the Oval Office this afternoon.
‘Congratulations
to our new CIA Director’
The Senate
confirmed President Trump’s pick to lead the Central
Intelligence Agency, Gina Haspel, in a bipartisan vote
yesterday. Director Haspel drew extensive support from the CIA
workforce, as well as former intelligence leaders from both
Republican and Democratic administrations. She replaces Mike
Pompeo, who was confirmed as America’s 70th Secretary of
State last month.
“The safety
and security of the American people depend on capable
intelligence leadership. Gina Haspel is the right woman at the
right time," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
said. President Trump tweeted
his congratulations shortly after the Senate’s vote.
Director
Haspel’s biography made her an easy choice. A
33-year veteran of the CIA, she’s earned multiple high-level
honors, including the George H. W. Bush Award for Excellence in
Counterterrorism. Years later, with the fight against al Qaeda
heating up, she requested a transfer to the CIA’s Counter
Terrorism Center. Her first day on the job was September 11,
2001.
Meet
Gina Hapsel, the new face of America’s intelligence
community.
Think
again: ‘Sanctuary’ laws aren’t pro-immigrant
America’s
immigration challenge doesn’t end at our border.
Because of “sanctuary city” jurisdictions—many recently
emboldened by new state laws in California—law enforcement
officers face dangerous obstacles to protecting our communities
from the effects of a broken immigration system.
Under the guise
of being pro-immigrant, these jurisdictions privilege
a small group of often-violent criminals at the expense of the
safety and well-being of American citizens, law enforcement,
and law-abiding immigrants alike. In effect, these
jurisdictions assert a special exemption from Federal law. The
consequences of their decisions, of course, do not remain in
their own backyards.
“They’re
releasing these criminals, not by their houses. . . .
They’re releasing them by our houses,” San Jacinto Mayor
Crystal Ruiz said at a White House forum with community leaders
this week. “Every day we’re getting more and more reports
from the police department about how they can’t arrest these
people.”
California’s
‘sanctuaries’ aren’t pro-immigrant—and local leaders
are pushing back.
