🛂 Immigration Enforcement Expansion
The first half of the document discusses recent agreements between ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and three states—West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas—to expand immigration enforcement under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Key points include:
- West Virginia: Governor Patrick Morrisey initiated collaboration involving state police, corrections, and the National Guard. Officers are empowered to interrogate, arrest, and detain suspected undocumented immigrants.
- South Dakota: Governor's “Operation Prairie Thunder” involves highway patrol, National Guard, and corrections staff in supporting ICE operations.
- Arkansas: Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed the “Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act,” increasing penalties for undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes and enabling state police to inquire about immigration status in public.
The tone is supportive of these measures and critical of Democratic opposition, portraying the expansion as a return to “law and order.”
🖋️ Autopen and Presidential Competence
The second half shifts to a discussion about the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the alleged cognitive decline of former President Joe Biden and the use of the autopen (a device that signs documents on behalf of someone). Highlights include:
- Allegations that Biden was not present or competent during the signing of key legislation.
- Commentary from Newt Gingrich and Mark Levin questioning the legality and ethics of autopen use.
- Claims that Biden was “incompetent” by 2023 and that Dr. Jill Biden may have acted as a de facto president.
- Accusations that cabinet members and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duties.

not two, but now three states have signed a new
agreement with ICE for expanded immigration enforcement operations. This starting
with West Virginia's governor announcing this wide ranging ICE agreement
(00:47):
enlisting police, corrections and the National Guard. And what's interesting
about all this is the President the White House are
being very quiet about it. I'm going to explain why. Also, well,
Congress is on its traditional August recess. It doesn't mean
that important work is not being done in DC. In fact,
the House Oversight Committee is still investigating the alleged cover

It's a forty seven morning update and it starts right now.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Story Number one.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It is Democrat's biggest fear. Law and order returning state
by state and states now working with the Trump administration
and ICE officials. Specifically, we now have three states that
have signed a new agreement with ICE for quote expanded
immigration enforcement operations. These three states include West Virginia, South Dakota,
(04:00):
and Arkansas, all signing the agreements with the Department of
Homeland Securities, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to specifically, they say,
ramp up immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions. West Virginia was
the first one. The governor there, Patrick Morrisey, announced a
robust collaboration under Section two eight seven G of the
(04:22):
Immigration and Nationality Act. This agreement enlists the West Virginia
State Police, Corrections and Rehabilitation Division and the National Guard
to assist ICE in immigration enforcement. Translation, if you're an
legal immigrant, you don't want to be in West Virginia
right now now. Under this task force structure, officers can
(04:44):
quote interrogate anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Number two,
process immigration violations for individuals already rested for other offenses.
Three conduct warrantless arrests if an individual is seen and
suspected to be a flight risk pending a warrant. Four
(05:06):
serve immigration warrants, administer oas, collect fingerprints and gather evidence.
And five issue immigration detainers and hold individuals in correctional
facilities before transferring them to ICE Cussey under federal supervision.
You look at what has happened in South Dakota. The
(05:26):
governor there, as part of his quote Operation Prairie Thunder,
a public safety initiative, will now have the South Dakota
Highway Patrols support ICE, with the rest announcing it today.
The National Guard assists with the processing and administrative tasks
as well, and the Department of Corrections will help transport detainees,
identify undocumented individuals within state prisons, and parole them into
(05:52):
ICE custody. You then move to Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders,
former White House Press Secretary under Donald Trump, signing the
Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act, which definitively increases penalties for
undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes, again saying to illegal immigrants,
(06:12):
you don't want to be in Arkansas. It also with
this new agreement allows sheriffs to apply for the two
eight seven G authority to serve immigration warrants on those
already in custody, and Sarah Huckebee Center's announcing this enables
the Arkansas State Police to stop individuals in public inquire
(06:32):
about immigration status and potentially arrest suspected undocumented immigrants. Now,
if you think they're doing this lighthearted, you're wrong. For example,
in Arkansas, there is training required, a forty hour online
course covering scope immigration law, civil rights, cross cultural issues,
as well as liability. Doing this in a responsible way.
(06:56):
Now you may be asking what is ICE two to
eight seven G program. Well, let me explain to you
the broader context of how this is being used by
the Trump administration. The program enables state and local officers
after ICE provided training, to carry out certain immigration enforcement
duties under ICE supervision. That is why there's a collaboration
(07:18):
here and why they are having to sign on to
the program. Now. As of August thirteenth, ICE has executed
eight hundred and ninety seven agreements across forty states, including
various models such as jail Enforcement, Warrant Service, and Task
Force operations. The Trump administration has significantly accelerated these partnerships,
(07:42):
growing from around one hundred and thirty five to over
seven hundred agreements in early twenty twenty five alone. Of course,
the left is going insane, warning that the surge is
a risk to quote civil rights community trust and invites,
they say, racial profiling, even though none of these programs
have anything to do with that. Now, you also may
(08:04):
be asking yourself, why am I not quoting the president
right now when I'm telling you about this initiative. Well,
the President clearly is playing chess on the issue. In fact,
the White House has had no public statement or reaction
regarding these specific agreements with West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas,
mainly because they want this to be clearly seen as
(08:26):
state led that these governors are opting in. And that
is exactly why the administration is being so successful in
getting this done with so many different agreements, because they're
not grandstanding. They're just trying to fight crime, and it's
clearly working now.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Story number two, it is the.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Traditional August recess. It's happening right now in Washington, d C.
Congress is back in their districts in theory tending to
business of listening to the constituents. That doesn't mean there
isn't anything going on with the House Auto pen probe.
In fact, it's covering a lot about the Biden White House,
even as Congress is on their traditional recess. The House
(09:06):
Oversight Committee, I've been told today, is still investigating the
LEDs cover up of former President Joe Biden's decline. The
former president insisting he was responsible for quote all decisions
that came out of the White House during his time
in office, and former staff members claim they saw no
obvious signs of a cognitive decline. Well, the House Oversight
(09:28):
Committee Chairman James Comer discussing the committee's investigation to whether
the Biden administration covered up the cognitive deterioration of the
former president. Now, there's also been the question of precedent.
What is the autopen like in the past, and can
you compare how other government officials use the autopen in
contrast to how it was being used when Joe Biden
(09:49):
was in office. Clearly that would help tremendously in the investigation. Well,
former Speaker of the House New Gingrich sat down with
my good friend Mark Levin, and he was asked about
the autopen when he was a Speaker of the House
signing legislation and how big of a deal it was
to use the auto pen. How seriously was the autopin
taken and how much was it also protected from abuse?
(10:11):
I want you to hear what Nuke Gingrich had to
say to Levin.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Luke Gingrich question when you were Speaker of the House,
I bet you took this signature requirement very seriously. I
bet you took the requirement that a president actually be
present when a bill is signed very very seriously. I
know there's a lot of formalities to the fact when
certain bills are brought, they're brought in a special way,
they're handed to somebody specifically, there's a whole process set up.
(10:36):
Did you ever think you'd see the day where we're
raising serious questions about a former president whether he signed
these bills or if he was present when the bills
were signed?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Well, yeah, well put it that way. Sure. Look, these
people are corrupt, irresponsible, and happy to exploit the nation
for their own game. So given those kind of people,
who knows what they might do? Oh, I think it
does raises you have brilliantly done in this show today.
It raises a very big question about whether or not
these laws are in fact laws. Remember, the founding fathers
(11:08):
understood that you had to have a pretty strict series
of rules or the whole system breaks down into a
kind of corruption which undermines the rule of law. The
rule of law requires rules, and one of those rules
is that the president signs bills. Now he can direct
an autopen for things that are ceremonial Christmas cards, for example,
(11:30):
but the president ought to be signing these things. And
when you learn that Biden was signing thousands of commutations
in the last few days of his administration, you know
he didn't have a clue what was going on. You know,
we have no idea what the deals were, why those
people were given commutations, or if in fact they were legal.
So I do think there's a profound question here, and
(11:50):
probably the Congress and President Trump should really write some
more restrictive rules about what it takes to get a
bill to actually be a law.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
It's interesting New Camrich when I went back and looked
at Medisine's notes and looked at some of the other
essays and comments on that they spent a lot of
time on this They spent a lot time on this
signature issue. They remembered the Statute of Frauds from the
sixteen hundreds. It was very important to them. And back
then it was this guy is the president. You know,
we didn't have this massive bureaucracy. He's going to sign
(12:19):
these laws. We in Congress, we're going to spend our
time doing all this and send it to him. We're
concerned that somebody might hijacket somebody might sign it. And
there's also this presentment requirement that he needs to be present.
I mean, let me ask you that is it really
asking a president too much to sign the damn bills
or to be present when the bills are signed. I mean,
if he's having difficulty doing that, doesn't that kind of
(12:41):
prove the point?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, look, I don't think any reasonable person thinks that
after some point in twenty twenty three, Joe Biden clearly
was incompetent as defined by the twenty fifth Amendment. As
you walked us through. I mean, when you read the
amendment and you read the discussion around the amendment, it's
very clear Biden clearly was incompetent sometime. I can't say
(13:02):
any given date, but sometime in twenty three, it should
have been obvious to every person who was dealing with
him that he was no longer competent to be president.
And I agree with you. Every one of these cabinet
officers and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duty and
they should frankly be stuck with that. These are people
who willfully cheated the American people and allowed a phony
(13:25):
presidency in which I'm guessing doctor Jill was the most important.
She became an effect the acting president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
You listen to the claim there by new Gingrich that
he says Joe Biden effectively became the de facto president
of the United States of America. She was not elected
by anyone, which goes back to exactly why this investigation
is happening and why the House Oversight Committee is still
investigating the alleged cover up of former President Joe Biden's decline,
(13:56):
even while much of Congress is out of town.
