My wife Vivian and I were blessed to have Alvin come into our lives 12 years ago. We went on morning and evening walks together. I used to come home and be greeted by his happy tail wags and unconditional love. Pets are family, and Alvin will always live in my heart.

Senator Kamala Harris recently reiterated Joe Biden’s immigration plans with regard to sending a bill to congress within the first 100 days of the administration that would effectively enable amnesty.

While that notion has been detailed countless times by Biden himself, Harris also unveiled plans to dismantle President Trump’s travel bans from various countries – which she inaccurately referred to as the “Muslim ban” – which can leave the country vulnerable to welcoming residents from known terrorist exporters.

The travel bans enacted by President Trump were a multi-step effort during his time in office that started in 2017 and accrued amendments up until 2020.

And for those who observed the effort are privy to the fact that getting the travel bans enacted was no small feat.

In 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13769, which was titled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States”. This first effort honed in on Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen as posing existential threats to the United States and thus, travel to the U.S. from these countries was restricted.

During the 2017 issuance of the executive order, the effort was politicized as being a “Muslim ban” – despite even left-leaning fact checkers having to chime in and note that the effort is far from being a ban on Muslims.

Still, after some protesting and legal challenges, Executive Order 13780 amended some aspects of the first travel ban and removed Iraq from the listed countries with travel restrictions.

Later in 2017, Presidential Proclamation 9645 was signed by President Trump which added some travel restrictions on Chad, North Korea, and Venezuela, but removed Sudan from listed travel restrictions.

Moving on to January of 2020, President Trump announced an expansion on the travel bans which only pertained to certain types of visas from Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan, and Tanzania.

When examining the rationale for these various travel bans and restrictions enacted by President Trump, they were all brought to the table in the interest of national security.

For instance, the State Department designates North Korea, Iran, Sudan, and Syria as “state sponsors of terrorism.” (Read more.)

It’s simple: rogue prosecutors are putting the interests of violent criminals before you (the law-abiding citizen). Their revolving-door policies jeopardize the historic crime reductions and the renaissance of our urban communities.

Last night we had the opportunity to go on a ride along with patrol officers from the LAPD's 77th Division, which covers approximately 12 square miles in South L.A. After a check of their equipment and filling up on gas, it was time to head out on patrol. Stay tuned for more...

The first call of the night comes in within minutes. A passerby reported seeing two suspects physically assaulting a male at a laundromat. As they drive to the call location, the passenger officer reads important information to the driver officer from their in-vehicle computer.

After checking the laundromat and surrounding areas, they are unable to locate a victim, any witnesses or evidence of a crime. They will continue to monitor the police the radio throughout the night to see if any calls might be related.
