An internal national intelligence report from the RCMP obtained by the Toronto Sun breaks down some of the security challenges caused by the recent influx of asylum seekers crossing illegally into Canada.
“The surge of illegal (between the ports) migration into Canada in summer 2017 placed a considerable strain on Canadian border and immigration resources,” explained the January, 2018 report, obtained through access to information laws. “The screening of these subjects through CPIC, NCIC, Interpol and PROS — time permitting — provides an incomplete security portrait, as subjects might hold records of criminal activity within local databases of their countries of origin. The RCMP requires access to local holdings to improve the detection of previously affiliated crime/gang members attempting to illegally enter Canada.”
The specific focus of the report is on how RCMP officers traveled to El Salvador in January in the hopes of gaining access to a group of comprehensive databases to help them screen people crossing illegally into Canada. The document lists the agencies and representatives the RCMP officers met with, but the names are redacted.
The trip was made after media reports circulated in Canada over concerns that some of the nearly 200,000 El Salvadoreans living in the U.S. under temporary protected status may try to enter Canada after that status is terminated in September of next year.

Their concerns are connected, the report explains, to the presence of the notorious MS-13 and 18th Street Gang operations in both El Salvador and North America. The RCMP sought access to the Grupo Conjunto de Inteligencia Fronteriza (GCIF), an analytics centre with access to dozens of Salvodorean intelligence databases.
A number of stories in Canadian media have told of El Salvadoreans fleeing the severe gang violence that they allege has victimized them. But these documents suggest border agents are not always able to guarantee that the very people causing asylum seekers to flee in the first place do not also enter Canada.
This summer the Sun first reported on how U.S. border agents arrested an 18th Street Gang member who crossed illegally into the U.S. after having first made it into Canada.
The office of Bill Blair, the minister of border security and organized crime reduction, referred questions on the matter to the RCMP.
“We work closely with our international partners and maintain strong relationships with law enforcement agencies around the world,” Sgt. Tania Vaughan, from the RCMP’s national communication services, told the Sun. “These relationships are fundamental to our ability to ensure Canada responds to the globalized threat from terrorism and other criminal threats to our national security.”
But the RCMP would not confirm whether or not they now have access to the GCIF database and whether it is used at the controversial Roxham Road border crossing, explaining that they do not disclose details on operational matters.

Germany deports convicted 9-11 suspect home to Morocco

BERLIN — A Moroccan man convicted of helping Mohamed Atta and the other Hamburg-based Sept. 11 suicide pilots as they plotted attacks on New York and Washington was deported Monday from Germany to his homeland.
German authorities confirmed that
Mounir el Motassadeq was convicted of membership in a terrorist organization and accessory to the murder of the 246 passengers and crew on the four jetliners used in the 9-11 attacks in 2001. German authorities confirmed that he was aboard a plane that had taken off from Frankfurt airport in the evening.
“It’s a good feeling to know that Mr. Motassadeq is out of the country,” Hamburg’s Interior Minister Andy Grote told The Associated Press.
Earlier in the day, he had been taken from a Hamburg prison to Frankfurt airport.
El Motassadeq was released shortly before completing his 15-year-sentence on the condition that he agreed to be deported to Morocco. That would allow Germany to re-arrest him if he ever returned.
It wasn’t immediately clear what awaited him in Morocco.
El Motassadeq was convicted of being part of the so-called Hamburg cell, including Atta and fellow Sept. 11 pilots Marwan al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah.
German courts ruled that el Motassadeq was aware the three planned to hijack and crash planes, even though he might not have known specifics of the plot. They said el Motassadeq helped “watch the attackers’ backs and conceal them” by helping them keep up the appearance of being university students paying tuition and rent and transferring money.
El Motassadeq acknowledged training at an al-Qaida camp in Afghanistan but insisted he knew nothing of his friends’ plans to attack the U.S.
“I swear by God that I did know the attackers were in America,” he shouted in accented German at a sentencing hearing. “I swear by God that I did not know what they wanted to do.”
Originally arrested in Hamburg in November 2001, el Motassadeq was convicted in 2003 of membership in a terrorist organization and thousands of counts of accessory to murder — taking into account victims on the ground — becoming the first person convicted anywhere on charges related to Sept. 11. He was sentenced to the maximum 15 years in prison.
However, a federal court overturned that verdict in 2004, largely because of a lack of evidence from al-Qaida suspects in U.S. custody, and sent the case back to Hamburg.
After a 2005 retrial, el Motassadeq was again convicted of membership in a terrorist organization that included Atta, al-Shehhi and Jarrah. But he was acquitted of being an accessory to murder after the court ruled it didn’t have enough evidence that he knew of the hijackers’ plot.
El Motassadeq was sentenced to seven years in prison at the time, but was freed in early 2006 until his appeal could be heard.
Later that year, the federal court reversed the Hamburg court’s acquittal of el Motassadeq on the accessory to murder charges, ruling that the evidence showed he knew the plotters planned to hijack and crash planes. It limited the number of counts, however, to the 246 people killed aboard the airplanes, and the 15-year sentence was restored.

Kind of makes you wonder what Canada's reward would have been if the rebels they were supporting would have won or even more unlikely that we didn't support actions that creates millions of refugees. The problem might not be the fault of the refugees ro why do they get all the flak? (other than the elites who start the actions pay zero in consequences while a 'civilian' can go to jail for questioning their many, many lies)
If you are what's left of 'the cream of the crop', this is going to be so easy.
The part you don't comprehend is that when you say something about somebody and it is true it is not immoral. When you try to bury lies to protect more lies then that is immoral. Do you even have a clue what side of the issue you are on. I hate Gentile liars just as much even though they are a 'lesser race' as Pete would put it.
I seriously doubt you are a practicing Jew and are just an asshole like the rest of the loco collective.

I know, none. That's OK. Just pointing out that you're a MAGAhat troll.
Saudi sisters found bound in N.Y.C. were seeking asylum: Report

Rotana, left, and Tala Farea, whose fully clothed bodies, bound together with tape and facing each other, were discovered on the banks of New York City's Hudson River on Oct. 24, 2018.
Two Saudi sisters whose bodies washed ashore on the banks of the Hudson River in New York City were seeking asylum in the U.S.
Cops have been working around the clock to unravel the mystery of what happened to Tala Farea, 16, and Rotana Farea, 22.
The sisters were reportedly seeking asylum in the U.S. and Saudi Arabia had ordered the family to return home.
Their bodies were discovered washed up on the rocks of a city park on Oct. 24. Police sources told the New York Daily News the pair had been bound together and their sandals duct-taped to their feet.
But they were wearing westernized clothes, including black leggings and fur coats — a no-no in the arch-conservative desert kingdom.

A neighbour in Virginia told Newsweek the pair usually donned traditional headdresses and clothing and largely kept to themselves.
“They never spoke,” the neighbour said. “They just came and went.”
Now, detectives are narrowing the time frame to help them piece together the sister’s tragic end.
The sisters moved to the U.S. from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in mid-2015, sources told the News.
Last December, they ran away from their Fairfax, Va. home for the first time. Cops found the younger sister in a local shelter — away from her mother, according to Arabnews.com.
Investigators are now questioning their friends and family to learn how they ended up in the Big Apple.
“Those interviews are unravelling pieces of the puzzle about what is happening behind the scenes and what was going on with the girls’ lives,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea told reporters.
Their families claimed the sisters had been missing since Aug. 24 after leaving the shelter in Fairfax. Cops say they were last seen alive in Virginia on Sept. 24.
“We are looking into a two-month gap,” Shea said. “Detectives have filled in some of the pieces, but we are still looking to get a picture of what happened over the last two months.”
While detectives are still trying to determine how the sisters died, they have ruled out a suicide jump from the George Washington Bridge.
Police have called their deaths suspicious.

Class, Dumbones has just demonstrated Fox News. Male mosquitos do not bite, and therefore one cannot get malaria from them. This does not stop the ignorant and hysterical from blasting their ignorance and hysteria, nor, sadly, from being believed by the other ignorant hysterics.
One indication that you're dealing with an ignorant hysteric is that they make up words like "invasioning."
