As the immigration crisis on the border worsens every day, reporters demanded Wednesday to know why they have not been given any access to facilities housing migrants, and why border officials have effectively been placed under a gag order, as reported by NBC News.

During the White House press briefing, Jen Psaki was grilled by reporter after reporter on why an administration that promised transparency is doing the exact opposite.

“It’s now been three weeks since I think in this room, you were first asked about getting us some press access. Why [have] we still not [seen] any images inside these facilities?” one reporter asked.

After Psaki provided another non-answer, the reporter continued to press.

“We’re hearing from border agents that they’re frustrated that they can’t show us what’s actually happening along the border. They can’t do ride-alongs. They can’t answer questions about what’s happening inside. Certainly, it seems like there’s an element of secrecy here. Why?”

Again Psaki avoided the question.

Another reporter followed up, asking “Is The White House or DHS instructing border agents to refuse ride-along requests from reporters?”

Again Psaki avoided the question.

The reporter continued “[We] used to be able to get ride-alongs during the Trump administration, and you all came in and promised to be the most truthful and transparent administration, and you all oversee the Department of Homeland Security. So if you all wanted to grant access to the press, couldn’t you just tell the DHS to do it?”

Like an operative on a customer service call Psaki said the reporter should ask the DHS.

When another reporter asked “Is there a limit or a cap to the number of unaccompanied minors that are going to be allowed into the U.S.?” Psaki snapped back “So should we send some kids who are 10 back at a certain point?”

“I’m not setting the policy here,” there reporter replied, adding “I’m just asking you what the Biden administration’s policy is…what the end game is here?”

Psaki reeled off some numbers and then said “Our policy continues to be, we’re not going to send a ten-year-old back across the border.”

This is an unprecedented crisis caused directly by the undoing of President Trump’s border policies and the Biden administration either refuses to address it, or even blames Trump, who has been the only president for some three decades to somewhat successfully secure the border.

Cape Cod Residents Outraged At Democratic Governor’s Migrant Housing Plan

Residents turned out in force.

Earlier this month, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey declared a state of emergency in response to the surging number of migrants in state-managed shelters. Then, last week, the governor mobilized the National Guard to assist with the migrant crisis. Now, residents are outraged with the governor’s decision to house the migrants as Biden’s southern border crisis spreads nationwide. 

Local newspaper The Bourne Enterprise reports anger spreads across the Cape Cod peninsula as “residents turned out in force to express opposition to the state’s opting to provide temporary housing for migrant families who have been relocated to Massachusetts.” 

“Protesters outside the building that evening held signs reading “Americans First”; inside, residents at the lectern cited potential board of health regulations, as well as concerns with whether the public school system can accommodate children from the immigrant families,” the paper said. 

Dozens of residents attended the Bourne Select Board meeting at the Bourne Veterans Memorial Community Center earlier this month to voice their opposition to Gov. Healey’s plan to transform parts of the Joint Base Cape Cod and local area hotels into migrant shelters. 

Gov. Healey recently asked US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for help to combat the migrant crisis after her Democratic colleagues in the White House and on Capitol Hill have been determined to undermine Trump-era border policies for open border ones – that have led to millions of illegals pouring into the country over the last several years. 

The governor has stated, “Massachusetts is in a state of emergency,” and commended the deployment of the National Guard to assist with the migrant crisis. 

In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams warned in recent weeks that the migrant crisis will “destroy” the metro area

It’s all fun and games for Democrats until Biden’s disastrous open border policies flood progressive metro areas with illegals.

Then these Democrats preach “NIMBY.”

Watch: Freight Train Full Of Migrants Heading To Southern US Border

The migrants were cheering and clearly not heeding the message: do not come.

Fox News journalist Griff Jenkins shared a video on X showing a freight train packed with hundreds of migrants heading north toward the US border. This further suggests that President Biden’s new strategy to curb illegal southern border crossings may not work. 

Jenkins explained the FerroMex freight train departed from Zacatecas, Mexico, on Sunday and is “heading to our southern border right now.” He said the migrants were cheering and clearly not heeding the message: do not come.”

The alarming video comes as President Biden changed up border policies to reduce the number of illegal crossings at the southern border. However, as The Wall Street Journal noted, “The New Plan Isn’t working”: 

Border crossings from Mexico into the US are on the rise again after an unexpected drop in May and June, when the administration ended its use of the pandemic-era measure known as Title 42 and replaced it with a new set of policies it said would work as a better deterrent.

US Border Patrol arrested roughly 182,000 people at the U.S.-Mexico border in August, a return to the same level of arrests it made the previous August under Title 42, according to people familiar with the data.

WSJ pointed out:

“The crux of Biden’s new strategy at the border is to dissuade migrants from crossing into the US illegally by increasing the penalties for doing so—and by offering them newly created paths to move here legally.” 

X user Border Hawk revealed one of those rail lines migrants use to get to the border. 

The latest report by New York Times journalist Julie Turkewitz indicates that migrant numbers heading to the US remain very concerning.

Clearly, the Biden administration has failed to secure the border, but the administration still promotes the idea that its policies are working. Anyone with common sense can see otherwise, as the illegal crossing troubles on the border have spread to New York City and other imploding Democrat-run cities.

Germany: 8 migrants arrested for sexual assault of 13-year-old girl in Cologne swimming pool

Eight foreign nationals have been arrested for surrounding and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in a Cologne swimming pool in Germany, with the girl managing to free herself and immediately alert police on Sunday.

According to police, there are eight suspects between the ages of 16 and 26 who are said to have surrounded the girl in a bathroom at the pool. They harassed her and fondled her, according to the police report released on Monday.

The main suspect, a 16-year-old Iraqi, is said to have reached inside the girl’s bikini bottom. She freed herself from her attackers and went to inform a lifeguard, who then called the police. They arrived in seven patrol cars and discovered the suspects at the exit of the pool, according to German broadcaster ZDF.

Three of the other suspects have Turkish citizenship and four have Syrian citizenship. The investigation remains in its early stages, and it is unclear how far the sexual assault went, but the 16-year-old Iraqi has already been charged with sexual assault.

“All the interrogations are still pending. Of course, that takes time,” said a police spokesman. The suspects have already been released after having their identification processed.

According to the police, there is also a male witness who saw the incident and provided information about it. 

The spokesperson from the pool, the KölnBader, confirmed there was a sexual assault on the property but would not provide further details other than to say: “The victim spoke to our employee who responded calmly.”

Police are currently searching for more witnesses. It is not the first sexual assault of a young teen girl this summer at a swimming pool. In June, seven women were sexually assaulted by migrants at one pool in Stuttgart, with one of the victims being only 12 years old.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party released a statement about the alleged sexual assault, writing: “A disgusting and speechless crime occurred on Sunday in an outdoor pool in Cologne’s Agrippabad: A 13-year-old girl was harassed, surrounded and then sexually abused by a group of eight foreign men (16 to 26).”

The party also referenced the mass sexual assault attacks also seen in Cologne in 2016.

“And again, the reactions of the established parties are predictable: nothing but unbearable phrases, appeasements, silence and trivialization — instead of finally deporting people and protecting our children and women! In the city of Cologne in particular, sexual abuse brings back horrific memories: on New Year’s Eve 2015, there were hundreds of sexual attacks by migrants in the area of Cologne Cathedral and the main train station. The mass migration ideologues in Cologne have apparently learned nothing. The incredible extent of the suppression of reality and the mockery of victims culminated in the statement by the still incumbent mayor of Cologne, Henriette Reker, that women should keep an ‘arm’s length away.’ But this helpless 13-year-old girl in the swimming pool had no chance of getting an ‘arm’s length distance.’ She is the victim of a political mainstream that puts its ideology before the protection of women and girls.”

Sexual assault rampant in German swimming pools

As Remix News has reported in the past, migrants committing sexual violence and assaults inside pool establishments have plagued the country in recent years.

In 2016, a town near Cologne banned all migrant men from going to a public pool due to repeated cases of sexual harassment and one criminal case. The ban was instituted to persuade asylum seekers to “change their behavior,” according to town authorities. A leaked police report in 2016 also showed that there was a concerning rise in migrant sexual assaults at swimming pools in the German city of Düsseldorf.

Last year, three 12-year-old girls were sexually assaulted in the Kaufbeuren public swimming pool in Bavaria by a group of six older teenagers described as having dark skin and speaking broken German. Police are still looking for the suspects.

The internal report stated, “(We) can confirm a surge in sex crimes at these establishments. In particular rape and the sexual abuse of children in bathing establishments have given us grave cause for concern. The perpetrators are, for the most part, immigrants.”

In 2017, two asylum seekers, including a Syrian former ISIS member, were arrested for sexually assaulting two girls, aged 12 and 14.

Last year, in Berlin, there were numerous mass brawls involving migrant men, including one that was caught on film and ended up going viral.
