NEW: ICE & DHS are accusing one of Rep. Veronica Escobar's (D-TX) staffers of repeatedly falsely claiming to be a lawyer in order to enter an ICE detention facility, meet with detainees, and give them cell phones. ICE says logbooks show Benito Torres falsely claimed to be a lawyer 11 times and repeatedly signed federal G-28 forms falsely attesting that he was an attorney there to see his clients. ICE says during one visit, the facility administrator at Camp East Montana caught Torres giving a phone to multiple detainees and confronted him, and Torres admitted he wasn't a lawyer and was visiting as a private citizen. Torres is now banned from ICE facilities, and the ICE Director has sent a letter to Rep. Escobar, demanding to know if Torres made the "fraudulent visits" with authorization from her, and whether or not she will cooperate with a potential federal investigation into the incident. We have reached out to Rep. Escobar's office, which tells @FoxNews they are looking into it. Will update when we hear back. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) fired a staffer last year who had falsely claimed to be an attorney to gain entry to an ICE facility.







🚨JUST IN: Dalilah’s Law passed @TransportGOP and is headed to the house floor. I’m extremely grateful to our strong House Republican leadership, for putting American lives first, and for sweet Dalilah Coleman and her father, Marcus Coleman spearheading this monumental change in trucking safety. @RepDavidRouzer’s bill, Dalilah’s Law, is simple: 🗣️ NO English, NO license 🚛 States must verify CDLs aren’t issued to illegal immigrants 👮♂️ More penalties for states that failed to comply including federal funding being withheld

It would be nice to have an explanation from @DHSgov on how Abdul Jalloh returned to Virginia before allegedly murdering Stephanie Minter & stabbing others. The Fairfax County Sheriff's Office says the illegal immigrant was picked up by ICE in 2018. wjla.com/news/local/ill…




Over a third of TSA officers call out at 3 major U.S. airports in single day as funding standoff continues. cbsn.ws/4by9kFf

JUST IN🚨: Major disruption at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) this morning 😳 Several TSA checkpoints (including A-West, C, and F) are temporarily closed due to staffing issues from the ongoing partial gov shutdown. Lines shifting—arrive early!

Long TSA lines at Newark Airport this morning

Right now, our heroic TSA officers are not being paid, and many cannot pay their rent, buy food, or afford to put gas in their cars. Some are even staying in airports overnight because they can’t afford their commute. Democrats must end this madness, reopen DHS, and pay these heroic agents.

Chaos at PHL International airport right now😳😳several TSA checkpoints are closed @FOX29philly


#FIRSTONFOX: The driver of a hit and run that killed a Fort Bend County Deputy is an illegal migrant who has been arrested. Last month, Deputy Kenneth Lewis stopped to help a stranded motorist on I-10 in Houston, when he was hit and killed by a driver who fled. The FBI Houston has been assisting Houston Police in trying to find driver DHS identifies the illegal migrant as Dennis Arguello-Acosta and said an anonymous tip to the FBI and law enforcement agencies led to him. He is now in ICE custody.
