BREAKING: Sen. Rand Paul, the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has just released internal federal documents which he says show that the FBI intervened and stopped CBP from searching and questioning Peter Daszak upon his return to the US from China at JFK airport in 2021 during the WHO's investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 scamdemic.

The documents show that CBP's National Targeting Center had flagged Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance, as an "extremely high person of interest" ahead of his arrival in the US, citing his more than 15 years of collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and his role as principal investigator on NIH grants funding bat coronavirus research in China, and that "much of the funding DASZAK receives is put towards gain of function research."

The documents reveal that CBP had a series of questions they planned to ask Daszak when he landed and were going to search his media, until they were told to stand down by the FBI, Bill Melugin reports.

In an email dated 2/4/2021, a CBP official notifies others within CBP:

"Please be advised that FBI New York has requested we do not stop the subject below."

Chairman Paul says as a result, the stop, search, and questioning of Daszak never happened.

BREAKING: New ICE data dump reveals the agency has carried out 356,389 deportations so far in Fiscal Year 2026, which began October 1st. That averages out to roughly 1,260 per day. ICE currently has 65,765 people in ICE detention, 39,576 of whom (60%) have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.

The data also confirms border czar Tom Homan's recent statements that June saw a record setting number of immigration arrests with 43,138 arrests, which is higher than January and February when the surge in Minnesota was in effect. July is on pace to potentially break the June record, Bill Melugin reports.
