ADRA is Embarrassing the Church


October 21, 2026 NewsHound


According to Gateway Pundit, another massive migrant caravan is marching through Mexico toward the US border as we enter the final weeks of the midterm election cycle. And ADRA is helping it happen.

The migrants marching in the latest caravan are mostly from Central America and they just departed Mexico’s southern border.

The Central American migrants told journalist Julio Rosas that they hope the Democrats win the midterm elections.

Last month, a migrant caravan was spotted marching toward the US border ahead of the midterm elections.

At least two NGOs are funding this caravan. According to independent reporter Anthony Aguero, “Proyecto Faro and ADRA” are the two main NGOs assisting the migrant caravan.

Tom Homan recently said the migrants will be sent back to their home countries or a third party country.

“They’ll be immediately turned around, or they’ll be arrested and prosecuted and deported,” Homan said.

“Zero releases from the border under the Trump administration. President Trump promised that. He’s going to keep that promise,” he said.

“I hope voters are paying attention,” Homan said. “Remember the images of 12,000 illegals per day coming across the border. Now they want to abolish the agency that finds them and deports them!”

Observations

Another massive Central American migrant caravan is currently marching north through Mexico toward the U.S. border in the final weeks before the midterms, with participants openly telling journalists they hope Democrats win so enforcement will ease.⁠

Independent reporter Anthony Aguero has identified two NGOs—Proyecto Faro and ADRA (the Adventist Development and Relief Agency)—as the primary groups assisting the caravan’s logistics and support.⁠

ADRA is an ideologically-captured arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which wraps itself in the language of neutral Christian charity and “serving all without regard to political affiliation.”

ADRA has a long, documented history of taking tens of millions in USAID and State Department funds under the Biden administration to distribute cash, food, shelter, and other aid to U.S.-bound migrants across Latin America as part of United Nations regional immigration plans. The organization’s own past statements (including board member, Ted Wilson) dismiss accusations of facilitating irregular migration as “patently false.”

Obama Defends Ilhan Omar After Federal Raid on Her Home




18 Oct 2026736

Former President Barack Obama defended Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after agents with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit conducted a raid on her home as part of an immigration fraud investigation.

In a post on X, Obama argued that “it is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs,” saying that is “exactly” what President Donald Trump’s administration is doing to Omar.

Obama went on to note that Omar came to the United States “with her father when she was 12 years old,” and added that “five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen.”

“If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately,” Obama said. “But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.”

The former president went on to highlight how Omar graduated from college, worked “as a community organizer,” and became “the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S.”

Ilhan Omar’s Sister’s Phone Was Seized Before Search of Lawmaker’s Home

Federal investigators have been reviewing family text messages as they aim to build a case implicating Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, of conspiring to commit immigration fraud, three people familiar with the matter said this week.

The messages were obtained from a phone that officials seized earlier this year from one of Ms. Omar’s sisters, Sahra Noor, a health care executive and author, according to the three people.

The messages contained information that investigators had used to get a federal judge to authorize homeland security agents to search Ms. Omar’s Washington-area residence on Monday, the three people said. Agents spent hours searching the home of the congresswoman and were seen walking away with several boxes of seized items.

The people familiar with the seizure of Ms. Noor’s phone spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an open criminal investigation that is before a federal grand jury in Minnesota. Federal officials have issued subpoenas in recent days to Ms. Noor and several other people in Ms. Omar’s orbit.

The investigation seeks to determine whether Ms. Omar and her relatives lied or omitted crucial information in immigration paperwork they filed since moving to the United States in the 1990s. They were admitted as refugees after fleeing Somalia’s civil war.

Markwayne Mullin, the homeland security secretary, suggested last month that the investigation could ultimately result in Ms. Omar’s deportation.

The Justice Department on Friday did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Ms. Noor’s phone. It was not clear when or where her phone was seized.

Ms. Noor, who recently published a memoir about her upbringing and the family’s journey to the United States, did not respond this week to several requests for comment. In recent years she has split her time between the United States and Kenya, and she spoke at events in the Minneapolis area this month to promote her book.

Something Is Going Very Wrong in Europe...

Something Is Going Very Wrong in Europe...

reallygraceful  

Oct 16, 2026 

What’s happening with the protests in Europe—and what gets left out of the headlines?

In this video, I examine the (on-going) French student protests, including the unrest in Belgium, Italy, Greece, and Albania...and the debate surrounding demonstrations in Britain (which I find suspicious). From media coverage and political responses to immigration policy and public frustration, there’s more to unpack than just the viral clips circulating online.

I also revisit reporting on the Arab Spring (and it's manipulators), explore the UN’s Agenda 2030 and its earlier United Nations “Replacement Migration” report, and discuss developments in Albania. We went from student protests to regime change in a blink of an eye. Along the way, I compare public statements, historical examples, and competing narratives—and share my perspective on the questions they raise.

Which comparisons hold up? Where does the reporting end and interpretation begin? Are nation states becoming extinct?

The Feds Are Uncovering What Ilhan Omar Did… It’s WAY Worse Than You Think

 

House Democrat introduces bill seeking to cut ICE, CBP, replace DHS


House Democrat introduces bill seeking to cut ICE, CBP, replace DHS


by Ford McCracken 10/13/26 05:12 PM ET


Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) introduced a bill Tuesday to overhaul U.S. immigration agencies, including replacing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with a new “community-centered” department.

The “Reimagining Safety Act” would abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as well as dismantle DHS, replacing it with a new agency called the “Department of Community Safety.” The bill would preserve non-immigration functions of DHS, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Transportation Security Administration.

“Every person dead in detention, shot or killed by ICE and CBP, every neighbor deported to a third country, every family separated … is a reason DHS must be dismantled and something new must take its place,” Ramirez said in a statement.

Ramirez, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee and a frequent ICE critic, has repeatedly called to abolish ICE and dismantle DHS in the past. After federal agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens as part of an immigration operation in Minneapolis in January, Ramirez marched alongside protesters in the city.

President Trump’s immigration agenda has become unpopular with voters, despite it being one of his strongest issues in the 2024 campaign. An AP-NORC poll released Oct. 1 found that just 39 percent of Americans approve of the president’s handling of immigration.

Trump allies have suggested Trump’s efforts to end illegal immigration to the country were successful, and that voters are not giving him credit for those wins. His critics argue his strict policies going after legal and illegal immigrants in the U.S. have turned off voters.

Some Democrats have avoided calls to abolish ICE entirely, though the idea did gain traction following those fatal shootings. A January Economist/YouGov poll found that more Americans supported abolishing ICE than opposed it, 46 percent to 43 percent.

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s relatives subpoenaed by feds as DHS investigates lawmaker’s immigration history

Relatives of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) have reportedly been issued subpoenas as part of the federal probe into the Somalia-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork.

The subpoenas went out to Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, and at least one other member of her family as part of the ongoing criminal fraud investigation, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.

Noor is the author of a recently published memoir about immigrating from Somalia. She also runs a Minneapolis-based consulting firm that touts having secured “more than $20 million in funding for health initiatives and consulted on projects backed by” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, United States Agency for International Development and other groups.

Noor did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Federal investigators have been looking into the immigration history of Omar’s family, including whether the congresswoman’s late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, lied or omitted information on immigration forms before becoming a citizen, the outlet reported.

Omar’s 2022 congressional primary opponent, AJ Kern, obtained documents from a US Citizenship and Immigration Services information officer in 2023 showing “no record” of Nur Omar Mohamed having been naturalized as a US citizen, The Post reported earlier Monday.

Omar has long claimed she became a citizen at the age of 17, through her father’s naturalization.

The subpoena revelation comes one day after Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raided the home Omar shares with her husband, Tim Mynett.

Can churches help make an alternative asylum system a reality?


Dr Torsten Moritz, general secretary of the Churches’ Commission for Migrants in Europe (CCME), reflects on a recent conference, “Protecting People More Than Borders,” and how churches can help make an alternative asylum system a reality.

Churches' Commission for Migrants in Europe
Refugees and migration


What were your biggest takeaways from the conference?

Dr Moritz: We met 28-30 September with some 30 participants representing churches from all over Europe. Discussions were around a draft paper outlining what elements of an alternative, protection-oriented asylum system in Europe could look like – a system which protects people more than borders.

These were very earnest discussions. They showed how important it is in asylum policy and practice to put the human being first - and how often this is not the case in Europe these days. There is thus great support for the draft paper. At the same time, there is a fear that any policy reform might even more be influenced by the extreme right and those following their agenda. Last not least, the message protecting people more than borders is a good common message, but it needs to be translated and contextualised into the different languages and contexts of churches in Europe.

What is the most crucial information for churches to know right now?

Dr Moritz: We – that is the CCME office and a task force from among members – will be working with the input we received from churches in Europe.

In early 2027 we will make an updated version of the proposals for an alternative asylum system in Europe available. It will be mainly policy-oriented and will contain specific suggestions for organising recognition of people asking for protection in Europe, their reception and integration, how this can happen while social cohesion increases, and how it doesn’t have to cost more than the current policy of dissuasion. The proposals are informed by good practices, as we could for example find them in the protection of Ukrainians fleeing in and since 2022. We will present an outline which shows that protecting people is not an a lofty illusion, but a real option if we dare to be values-based and realistic at the same time.

We will also provide accompanying information templates – like an explanation of policy proposals in a less technical language, which non-expert church members and members of the public can relate to. Throughout 2027, we will spread this information—online but also through events across Europe – to a church audience and policymakers, but also a broader public.

What is your urgent call to churches?

Dr Moritz: First of all, continue your work around the principle of protecting people more than borders. With hardening of policy and practice towards the most vulnerable, damage control is essential. Churches in many places make a different for upholding the dignity of persons seeking protection in Europe, while working to uphold social cohesion for all.

And, secondly, work with us on making an alternative asylum system a reality. Let us know what will help you in making an argument for a policy which prioritises protecting people – what information do you need, do you want us to visit and explain, and whom would you like to reach with your arguments? We all know that times are difficult and our resource at different levels are limited, but if we work together, we can have impact!

They Trained to Protect Immigrants From ICE. Now They’re Prepping to Defend the Midterm Elections.

ICE-watchers-turned-poll-watchers are preparing for the worst, as the Trump administration hints at potential strategies to disrupt the midterm elections.

ICE watchers across the country who watched federal agents shoot people in the streets and fought to drive ICE from their cities are turning their new skills against the next authoritarian threat from the Trump administration: election interference.

Volunteers who showed up a few months ago asking, “Where do I buy a whistle?” are now trained and committed members of an “ICE Watch” movement, said Zach Mueller, whose anti-authoritarian group States at the Core started hosting trainings earlier this year. “They’re not in the normal cast of characters that have been showing up to rallies over the last several decades,” said Mueller. Now, they’re planning to fan out to their local polling places and defend their neighbors’ rights to vote.

The ICE-watchers-turned-poll-watchers are preparing for the worst despite a temporary win the voting rights movement secured last week, when the Supreme Court upheld a decision to block a Trump administration rule that would have let the U.S. Postal Service refuse to deliver ballots from states that don’t share their voter rolls with the federal government, among other new constraints, which advocates warned would lead to chaos and uncounted votes. While that plan was foiled for the midterms, other electoral threats abound.



“There are 100 different scenarios that you can run through,” said Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible. “Could be ICE at the polls, could be Trump getting every Republican to swear to sabotage the results … Could be something after the fact, seizing ballot boxes or refusing to acknowledge the results. Who knows?”
