President Biden cancels Trump program that targeted rapists illegally in USA
President Joe Biden has terminated a Trump program that targeted sexual offenders, including child sex traffickers, who are in the United States illegally.
Trump’s program, dubbed “Operation Talon,” focused on deporting dangerous sexual predators preying on vulnerable Americans.
But Biden decided to end the program, leaving Americans and their children once again open to attacks from pedophiles and rapists.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody argued there was “no reason” for Biden to cancel the program.
Moody told Fox News:
“We rely on the federal government to assist our local and state law enforcement and remove those that are lurking in our communities that are sexual predators and that are preying on our most vulnerable.“
“And so, to have an administration, Joe Biden, cancel an operation that is focusing on sexual offenders in our country, as the attorney general of Florida certainly, but as a mother, it’s horrifying.”
Co-hostBila asked Moody:
“Is there any reason you can see for why this operation would be removed or what the reasoning behind that would be?”
Moody responded:
“Absolutely none. I was a former federal prosecutor.”
“Effective, targeted operations cross administrations,” she continued.
“These operations help agents do their jobs, especially for states like Florida that rely on federal agencies and law enforcement to help them remove these dangerous people from our communities.”
“There is no reason this operation should be canceled.”
Humanevents.com reports: South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson joined a coalition of 18 state attorneys general to urge Biden to reverse the cancellation, according to ABC 4 News.
“We’re working hard to fight human trafficking and sex crimes in South Carolina and allowing convicted sex offenders who are here illegally to remain in our country makes absolutely no sense,” Wilson said. “These trafficking and sex crimes are repugnant to human decency generally and to children specifically,” he added.
The letter, directed to Joe Biden, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Acting Director of ICE Tae Johnson, pointed out the problems with this cancellation. The attorneys general argued that canceling Operation Talon could encourage sexual predators to attack.
“The United States’ population of illegal immigrants includes disturbingly large numbers of criminals with prior convictions for sexual crimes,” the letter reads. “According to data collected by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, during the period from October 2014 to May 2018 ICE arrested 19,572 illegal aliens with criminal convictions for whom the most serious prior conviction was a conviction for a sex-related offense.”
“Meanwhile, an increasing number of illegal aliens are entering the United States after having been previously convicted of sexual offenses,” it continues. “The cancellation of [Operation Talon] effectively broadcasts to the world that the United States is now a sanctuary jurisdiction for sexual predators. This message creates a perverse incentive for foreign sexual predators to seek to enter the United States illegally and assault more victims, both in the process of unlawful migration and after they arrive. It will also broadcast the message to other criminal aliens who have committed other offenses that any kind of robust enforcement against them is unlikely.”
The letter begs perhaps the most important question: “If the United States will not remove even convicted sex offenders, whom will it remove?”
In addition to South Carolina, the state attorneys general that signed on to the letter include: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.

“Snopes should never have the last word.”
Certainly, but the truth is that:
!) a special Trump’s program was not needed because these investigations are done routinely, anyway;
2) Biden didn’t order the program stopped:
3) some of the media skipped the “unnecessary details” and blew the whole affair up out of all proportion to make it sound sensational regardless of what the facts were (nothing new here, right?).
I already mentioned several times that I don’t like taking sides in politics like a sports fan, and I think that labeling someone/something to be able to pick the “treatment they deserve” from the ready-made list limits one’s thinking and other options.
It is always better to have several different sources and then check the information for inconsistencies, etc. rather than adopting what I call the “false dichotomies” in order to have quicker and simpler results.
I also don’t like emotional historians, analysts, etc. because emotion obscures and distorts facts and increases biases.
@ Reader:
Snopes should never have the last word.
I understand it to be a tool of the left.
@ Edgar G.:
Basically the same thing was said at the CPAC Assembly,. This seems to indicate that Biden actually has the nuclear code…..or perhaps, being politicians the Repubs don’t want to draw attention to the fact that he does not have it, which actually would not serve any uselful purpose right now..???
@ Edgar G.:
Apropos of this matter, I just now listened to a Hannity reort of several hours ago and he brought out a Politico rport that several dozen Democrats are “trying to get Biden to give up the sole authority to launch nuclear weapons”….which seems to indicate that he actually HAS that authority right now.
Ted Belman Said:
That is a double PLUS, as far as I am concerned. It has been a strong rumour for quite a while , I seem to recall coming from a Senior military semi-clash with Biden or a minion can’t exactly recall exact circumatances. . Peloni1986 says basically the same thing, derived from the Wood whistleblower, so there may really be something to it.
Let us all be …..Chazak Ve’Ematz….

“Claim
U.S. President Joe Biden canceled a Trump-era program aimed at deporting sexual offenders called “Operation Talon.”
Rating

About this rating
What’s True
“Operation Talon,” a program planned in the final weeks of the Trump administration aimed at deporting sex offenders, was suspended by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
What’s False
The Biden administration had “nothing to do with this decision,” according to an ICE official. Homeland Security Investigations, a division of ICE, still investigates sex crimes committed by noncitizens.
What’s Undetermined
It’s unclear whether or not Operation Talon was ever in operation. It is also unclear whether the suspension is temporary or permanent, though officials have referred to ICE’s new guidelines as “interim.””
Etc., etc.
Please watch the following about current sex trafficking, pedophilia and murder of our children going on in Hollywood, inductry, the press and government. No hype, no BS.

Not at all. I am told that Biden doesn’t have security clearance so security related information is not shared with him.
Remember, we have always been told that a president’s power and effectiveness depends on the extent to which the people back him. The converse is also true. a president who stole the election and doesn’t have the backing of the people is barely listened to both in and out of the country.
@ Ted Belman:
For what it’s worth, Lin Wood’s whistleblower just posted a long thread of tweets regarding our situation regarding the election fraud and the military. Here is what he said:
Ted Belman Said:
Does your hope have anything to do with a March 4th 19th President nonsense prediction by Q anon?? If so, I think you can forget about it. If it’s based on other, really reliable, well proven info, then I share your hope…as I’m sure do all who post on this site.
@ Edgar G.:
Just logged out and now back in again to see if that renews my EDIT .
Yes it now works as usual. All serene….eo far. Odd, because I logged out and back in about 4-5 days ago without success. Computer Madness…!!
@ Edgar G.:
NO Still not working.
@ Edgar G.:
Checking to see if EDIT is now working..
@ Edgar G.:
No, not working. I deliberately wore “By reply” instead of “replying”. as an extra.
@ Ted Belman:
By reply, into this I’ll find out. although as I’ve said, not a single post of mine has had EDIT. for at least a week. I thought it was just a temporary “glitch” as it sometimes happened before as well. But always returned after hours or a day or two..
Edgar G. Said:
I am surprised to hear this. No one else has mentioned a problem. I just checked. It took about 3 seconds before the Edit option appears. I can’t imagine it not appearing for your comments.
Let me know.
@ Ted Belman:
Well from the news you bringnus, things are going from bad to worse by the hour, and along the say, soon I hope, he’ll go too far even for the steel stomached Democrats.
However it eventuates, Trump, whether he runs ir not, will always be the “Power” behind the Repubs, which Party I expect to see change radically over the next 2-3-4 years. The RINOS will have to go, and their replacements will be very carefully vetted before chosen.
How can it be that you don’t know what I want. At the bottom of my every new post, has always previously appeared, a 4 min. and 49 secs EDIT, in which to correct typos, add new thoughts etc. Mine has been absent for about a week, so any error I make which I’d like to correct, after spotting it after posting, can’t be made…
And let me add Chag Purim Sameach. (Haman and Biden each has 5 letters-any gematriasts in our group..??) They must be related……..
@ Edgar G.:
I don’t understand what you want.
By the way, I haven’t given up hope. Trump may yet be restored to power or so I have been told.
TED-any chance tthat you might get around to restoring my “EDIT”…My computer has a mind of it’s own, like Adam’s, and commits to phrases impelled by a key word to print what I don’t intend. My keys are small so I also make many typos that I can’t correct after I hit “Post Comment”.. .
@ Frances Weingarten:
They know, and they see. But the way the election was stolen, blatantly fraudulent, and that the courts and especially the USSC allowed it to happen, with the Democrats using tactics straight out of the Communist handbook, aided by Lucky Luciano Mafia style actions, has demoralised them.
They voted for Trump, they got Biden. They feel outnumbered and outclassed. But I believ that they are getting ready to make a comeback, that is as serious as George Washington’s Crossing the Delaware.
I’m just waiting for some to form guerrilla gtoups and hit their most dangerous enemies. It may happen, but Republicans try to stick to the straight legal paths. These are blocked, So…we’ll see. We are just onlookers.
If I was in charge, I’d start off with a kind of King David Hotel hint without the casualties, then another few of the same kind, parhaps kidnap the most egregious enemies ,hold a videod tria, observing ALL the Constitutionally legal pathways, then send the video to every part of the nation.
Ask THEM what should be the verdict promnounced on the malefactor.
I’m only dreaming in print…….
It’s hard to believe that Joe Biden is still active as President in America! I would have thought that by now Americans would have seen through him and been rid of him! That has not happened thus one can only hope! It is my very strong hope that the American people will open their eyes and see what they have elected and immediatly remove him!
