Biden admin freezes program that lets illegal immigrants fly into US after fraud exposed

EXCLUSIVE: The Biden administration has put a controversial program that allows tens of thousands of migrants from four nations to fly or travel directly into the U.S. on hold, after a report circulated internally showing significant amounts of fraud in the program.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Fox News Digital that “out of an abundance of caution” it has temporarily paused the issuing of advance travel authorizations for the program — which allows up to 30,000 nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV) to travel into the U.S. each month and enter legally under the administration’s use of parole if they meet certain conditions. 

A congressional source had told Fox News Digital the pause came in mid-July after an internal report unearthed large amounts of fraud in applications for those sponsoring the applicants. DHS said the pause was occurring as it reviewed sponsor applications. The issue with supporter filings, and not with the filings from the beneficiaries of the program themselves.

DHS DOCS REVEAL WHERE PAROLED MIGRANTS UNDER CONTROVERSIAL BIDEN FLIGHT PROGRAM ARE LANDING 

“DHS has review mechanisms in place to detect and prevent fraud and abuse in our immigration processes. DHS takes any abuse of its processes very seriously,” a DHS spokesperson said. “Where fraud is identified, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will investigate and litigate applicable cases in immigration court and make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.” 

“Out of an abundance of caution, DHS has temporarily paused the issuance of advanced travel authorizations for new beneficiaries while it undertakes a review of supporter applications. DHS will restart application processing as quickly as possible, with appropriate safeguards,” they said.

The program was initially announced for Venezuelans in October 2022, and allowed a limited number to fly or travel directly into the U.S. as long as they had not entered illegally, had a sponsor in the U.S., and passed certain biometric and biographical vetting. The program does not itself facilitate flights, and migrants are responsible for their own travel.

In January 2023, the administration announced that the program was expanding to include Haitians, Nicaraguans and Cubans and that the program would allow up to 30,000 people per month into the U.S. It allows for migrants to receive work permits and a two-year authorization to live in the U.S. and was announced alongside an expansion of Title 42 expulsions to include those nationalities.

A congressional source tells Fox News Digital that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) stopped issuing travel authorizations to Venezuelans on July 6 and authorizations for the three remaining nationalities on July 18.

The internal report found that forms from those applying for the program included social security numbers, addresses and phone numbers being used hundreds of times in some cases.

Parts of the report shared with Fox News Digital by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a conservative immigration group, showed that 100,948 forms were filled out by 3,218 serial sponsors — those whose number appears on 20 or more forms.

It also found that 24 of the 1,000 most used numbers belonged to a dead person. Meanwhile, 100 physical addresses were used between 124 and 739 times on over 19,000 forms. Those addresses included storage units. One sponsor phone number was submitted on over 2,000 forms, and there were 2,839 forms with non-existent sponsor zip codes, according to the leak.

The report was created by the Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate to ensure DHS can quickly respond to fraud in immigration benefits programs. Sponsors must pass security and background vetting and demonstrate financial resources to support the individual they are sponsoring.

DHS stressed to Fox News Digital that CHNV beneficiaries are “thoroughly screened and vetted prior to their arrival to the United States.” 

“The multi-layered screening and vetting for advanced travel authorizations is separate from the screening of U.S.-based supporters,” the spokesperson said. “DHS has not identified issues of concern relating to the screening and vetting of beneficiaries.” 

The freeze is likely to raise additional questions from Republicans, who have alleged that the Biden administration’s use of parole is an abuse of congressionally-granted authority — which limits the power to be used only for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.

“This is an indication that the administration was willing to cut every corner and endanger public safety in order to bring in as many illegal aliens as they could,” Ira Mehlman, a spokesperson for FAIR, told Fox News Digital.

The administration is also using the CBP One app to allow 1,450 migrants to enter the U.S. via a port of entry each day. It recently announced a “parole in place” for spouses of illegal immigrants.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently said the program is a “safe and orderly way to reach the United States” and has “led to a reduction in numbers of those nationalities.”

“It is a key element of our efforts to address the unprecedented level of migration throughout our hemisphere, and other countries around the world see it as a model to tackle the challenge of increased irregular migration that they too are experiencing,” Mayorkas said.

DHS revealed this year that, as of October 2023, there were about 1.6 million applicants waiting for DHS approval to fly to the U.S. via the parole program.

A lawsuit challenging the program was shot down earlier this year, but Republican states who filed it have indicated they intend to appeal.

Boxing champion who beat Algerian fighter weighs in on Olympics gender controversy

Boxing world champion Amy Broadhurst was among the women to beat Algerian Imane Khelif, the fighter in the middle of a gender controversy at the Paris Olympics, and spoke out about her former opponent on Wednesday.

Broadhurst, of Ireland, was a gold medalist in the 2022 International Boxing Association (IBA) Women’s World Championships, beating Khelif in the finals. Khelif was then disqualified from the 2023 tournament for what the IBA president said at the time was that it was “proved” Khelif had “XY chromosomes.”

The IBA said Wednesday that Khelif had “competitive advantages over other female competitors.”

Broadhurst also weighed in.

“Have a lot of people texting me over Imane Khelif,” she wrote in a post on X. “Personally I don’t think she has done anything to ‘cheat.’ 

“I (think) it’s the way she was born & that’s out of her control. The fact that she has been beating by 9 females before says it all.”

CONTROVERSIAL BOXER’S NEXT OPPONENT ‘NOT SCARED’ FOR MATCHUP: ‘I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PRESS’

On Thursday, Broadhurst asked her followers what they thought of her win over Khelif in 2022. Broadhurst posted the footage on her social media.

“If this is a man and it becomes 100% fact, I’ll be disgusted that I was in the ring and so was many others,” Broadhurst wrote in response to one comment. “A man vs a woman is far from ok. But right now nobody knows what the true facts are.”

The International Olympic Committee cleared Khelif to compete and doubled down on its decision after Khelif’s win.

Polling guru changes his prediction on who will win the White House in November

Polling and data guru Nate Silver updated his prediction to “toss up” two days after he said former President Trump was electorally favored to win the White House in November.

Silver, a prominent elections analyst and statistician, released his first election model since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee on Tuesday. He predicted Harris would win the popular vote, but called her “a modest underdog to Trump in the Electoral College.”

Silver wrote on Substack that this posed a risk of a “repeat of the popular vote-Electoral College split that cost Democrats the 2000 and 2016 elections.” He said Harris is in a better position than President Biden was when he was the incumbent challenger.

NATE SILVER RELEASES FIRST ELECTION MODEL SINCE HARRIS BECAME PRESUMPTIVE DEM NOMINEE, TEASES POSSIBLE TREND

But on Thursday, Silver changed his prediction. “The presidential election is a toss-up,” his headline on Substack read.

“When we launched the presidential model on June 26 — in the lifetime ago when Joe Biden was the Democratic nominee — the headline in the post that introduced the model was that the election wasn’t a toss-up. Instead, Biden had persistently been behind in the states that were most likely to decide the Electoral College, enough so that he was about a 2:1 underdog in the election despite the uncertainties in the race. His situation wasn’t unrecoverable, or at least it wasn’t until the debate. But you’d rather have had Donald Trump’s hand to play every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Silver wrote.

“Now that the election is in Kamala_mode, however, it’s far from clear whose position you’d rather be in, and I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to bet either on Harris or on Trump,” he added. 

“At FiveThirtyEight, we actually had a formal definition of a ‘toss-up’, which is an election where each candidate had at least a 40 percent chance of winning. We’re now quite comfortably into that territory.”

1 OF THESE 5 DEMOCRATS COULD BE HARRIS’ RUNNING MATE

Silver said according to his model, Harris has a 54% chance of winning in Michigan, 50% chance of winning Wisconsin, and 47% chance of winning Pennsylvania, all states that would lock down the 270 electoral votes necessary to win.

“As of this afternoon’s model run, Harris’s odds had improved to 44.6 percent, as compared to 54.9 percent for Trump and a 0.5 percent chance of an Electoral College deadlock. It’s not exactly 50/50, but close enough that a poker player would call it a “flip”: Democrats have ace-king suited, and Republicans have pocket jacks,” Silver wrote.

But, he cautioned, “Democrats shouldn’t get too out over their skis about this…there’s one thing I think we can say with some confidence: Democrats are lucky that they’re getting a second chance in this election with Harris instead of Biden.”

Silver is notable for successfully predicting 49 of 50 states in the 2008 presidential election. He also predicted President Obama’s 2012 victory.

With the election still 96 days away, Silver said polls, while “more stable than they used to be,” are still “likely to gyrate back and forth a number of times between now and Nov. 5.”

Black activists tied to VP Harris could derail Dem ‘unity’ message with past rhetoric

A pair of Black female activists, who have met with Vice President Harris several times and previously vowed to get “real serious” about helping her become the next president, could alienate some of the “White women for Kamala” supporters with their past rhetoric as they mobilize ahead of November’s election.

Cora Masters Barry, an appointee of Democrat D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and longtime civil rights activist, and Melanie Campbell, who leads the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, have visited the White House more than 50 times combined during the Biden administration, including nearly a dozen visits with Harris or her staff, a Fox News Digital review found.

Weeks before President Biden and Harris were sworn into office in 2021, Barry and Campbell participated in a public Zoom call in which they made controversial statements about Trump supporters and used an expletive against White voters, specifically White women, which could cause some internal clashes as different coalitions mobilize to try to get Harris into the White House.

‘WE JUST TELL THE TRUTH’: VP HARRIS’ LONGTIME MENTOR REPEATEDLY DEFENDED CONTROVERSIAL OBAMA PASTOR

Approximately 164,000 White women hopped on a Zoom call last week, which was organized by Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts and other female celebrities. The call, titled “White Women: Answer the Call,” reportedly raised millions of dollars for Harris’ campaign and could be a major fundraising force over the next few months. 

However, the unearthed comments from the two activists could cause some internal tension for the Harris campaign as they look to mobilize different voting blocs and have called for “Unity.”

“If you claim to stand for unity, you need to do more than just use the word,” Harris recently said.

“We have to change our strategy. We got to get our people. We have to get our – they got their people. They got all the trailer parks all covered,” Barry said during the Zoom. “All them people up in West Virginia and the hills, they’re covered. They got them all the way there to Wall Street.”

“[Trump] did that, and we’re sitting here talking about the White women. F— the white women– excuse me – forget the White women. They’re going to do what the White men tell them to do,” Barry continued, eliciting laughter and clapping from Campbell.

“What they tell themselves,” Campbell interjected.

“They be smiling in their faces, they want to stay in charge,” Barry continued, with Campbell reacting affirmatively in the background. “I don’t care nothing about them, we got to do what we got to do.”

Barry went on to say that the Black community has to “get real serious about organizing to elect Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States” and that she doesn’t “want no women’s parade.”

“If they have another Women’s March – I’ll go over there and blow it up,” Barry said.

Barry also attacked supporters of then-President Trump, comparing them to the Ku Klux Klan by saying, “I’m not saying everyone who voted for Trump is wearing a white sheet, but they got one in their closet, and it comes out when we start messing with the economic value or the balance of power.”

FLASHBACK: HARRIS FUMED AT AMERICANS FOR SAYING ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS’ BEFORE ILLEGAL MIGRANTS GOT PROTECTIONS

Barry went on to say at the time that, should Biden win the 2020 election, her group has “got to start organizing to make sure that the next president of the United States is a Black woman.”

“And that’s not going to happen if we don’t reach all of our Black people, because they’re the ones who are going to put her in there,” Barry added. “Those White folks ain’t going to put her in there.”

During the same Zoom call, Campbell was also critical of White women who have cast their votes for Trump, saying “race” and “White privilege” were driving factors and that she didn’t understand how they could support someone who “disrespects you as a woman.”

FLASHBACK: NEW HARRIS CAMPAIGN SENIOR ADVISER MADE SEVERAL INSENSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT WOMEN, GAY PEOPLE

“Am I surprised? No. Am I frustrated? Yeah – determined that we have to still find a way to get up and deal with it,” Campbell said. “What I’m not interested in doing is what I did, Cora, in 2016 is have these fruitless conversations with my White girlfriends who want to tell me we need to sit down and have a conversation. No we don’t. You need to go talk to your sister. You need to go talk to your cousin.”

“I have no interest in understanding why White folks do what they do. They do what they do because they doing what they do if I was them. They’re fighting to stay in charge and in control. That’s what they’re doing. I ain’t mad at them. What I am is mad at us,” Barry added, referring to the Black community.

Near the end of the Zoom call, Barry said it is a “perfect time” to mobilize Black voters and push their agenda “because there’s a lot of White guilt money out there.”

“I’m gonna take it- put it in my community and radicalize my people so they can come for your job. I’m saying it’s time to act,” she continued.

In addition to Barry’s comments about White women, Fox News Digital previously reported on Barry lavishly praising notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan in 2022 at a private event honoring her late husband, former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry.

During Barry’s remarks at the private ceremony, she praised Farrakhan, who has espoused antisemitic rhetoric for decades, including calling Jews “wicked” and comparing them to termites. Barry referred to Farrakhan as a “friend” and “member of the family” while also telling him “I love you more than words will ever say.”

“Minister Farrakhan, we love you more than you love us. You just don’t know it,” she added.

Farrakhan in turn praised Barry, saying, “Praise God for this woman. She is a treasure. A real treasure.”

A spokesperson for both Barry and Campbell defended the comment about White women, previously telling Fox News Digital that the comment was in reference to how White women are not as reliable Democrat voters and that the vice president was not part of the conversation.

Barry, Campbell and the Harris campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.

MSNBC host called out after declaring Trump failed to get Americans freed from Russia

Social media users called out MSNBC anchor Katie Phang after she claimed that former President Trump failed to free several Americans imprisoned in Russia, given that some of them were taken after he left office.

Two of the three American citizens and a U.S. green card holder who were freed in a prison swap between the United States and Russia on Thursday were detained during the Biden administration. Despite this, Phang took the opportunity to criticize Trump for “never” bringing them home. One user called out the flimsy charge, which prompted Phang to double down.

“You got a problem with it? Take it up with Trump, who, again, didn’t bring them home. President Biden did,” Phang stated on the social media platform Thursday.

LIVE UPDATES: PRISONER SWAP DEAL WITH RUSSIA

Three American citizens – Wall Street Journalist Evan Gershkovich, former Marine Paul Whelan and Russian-American journalist Alsu Kurmasheva — were freed from Russian custody along with one American green-card holder, Vladimir Kara-Murza, and a dozen others, on Thursday. Whelan was arrested by Russia on spying charges in 2018, when Trump was in office.

Despite Gershkovich, Kurmasheva, and Kara-Murza all being imprisoned while Biden was in office, the president slammed Trump during a White House press conference on Thursday announcing their return home. Biden criticized Trump for not securing their release during his presidency.

A reporter asked Biden, “President Trump has said repeatedly that he could’ve gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange. What do you say to that?”

“Why didn’t he do it when he was president?” Biden shot back before exiting the room. The president’s retort delighted members of the press. CNN anchor Dana Bash called it a “mic drop moment” from the president, while Phang ran with his claim on X.

WSJ REPORTER EVAN GERSHKOVICH RELEASED BY RUSSIA IN PRISONER SWAP; PAUL WHELAN ALSO BEING FREED

The MSNBC anchor shared the clip of Biden’s retort, and commented, “#truth Trump repeatedly said he could bring them home. He never did.”

A conservative X account slammed the journalist, commenting, “Must you demonstrate your hackiness every single day? Two of the three Americans were wrongfully detained during Biden’s presidency. It’s good to see our lame-duck president being, well… lame.”

Phang replied to the user, defending her point. “Trump never conditioned his ability to return any American hostage on being President. You got a problem with it? Take it up with Trump, who, again, didn’t bring them home. President Biden did.”

Another user made the same criticism of Phang’s original statement, saying, “Only one of them was in custody when [Trump] was President.”

Top Dem on Trump shooting task force insists probe will be free of politics

EXCLUSIVE: The top Democrat on the newly commissioned House task force to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Trump is insisting that the investigation will be free of politics.

Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., was named ranking member of the panel after being selected by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.

As a first-term lawmaker in 2020, Crow was selected as one of seven House Democrats prosecuting Trump’s first impeachment trial before the Senate.

But he denied in an interview with Fox News Digital on Wednesday that the role would open him up to criticism of his handling of the current task force.

BUTLER DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS LOCAL SNIPERS WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ROOFTOP SHOOTER FIRED FROM 

“I’m not concerned about that. You know, I have a great reputation for being one of the most bipartisan members of Congress because, listen, that’s what America does,” Crow said. “We have … tough debates and deliberations about the things that we need to have tough debates and deliberations on. But we also come together and work together when and where we have to.”

The retired Army Ranger said he was trained to serve without bias during his days in the military, which included tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I served overseas in combat with Americans from all different backgrounds – Republicans, Democrats, independents, people from the East Coast, people from the West Coast, of every different stripe and background – and we got the job done. We came together, we served together, and we got it done. And we’re going to bring that same spirit to this task force,” Crow said.

He’s one of six Democrats appointed to the task force by Jeffries, with seven Republicans chosen by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT VICTIM SAYS HE IS ‘SAD’ WITH STATE OF ‘POLITICAL DIVISION’ IN US 

Johnson and Jeffries said in a joint statement of Crow’s appointment, “We have the utmost confidence in Ranking Member Rep. Jason Crow and this bipartisan group of steady, qualified and capable Members of Congress to move quickly to find the facts, ensure accountability and help make certain such failures never happen again.”

It comes after a source previously told Fox News Digital that Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., who was the Democrats’ lead counsel in the first Trump impeachment, was being considered for a place on the committee. He did not end up on the final list.

Crow told Fox News Digital that the probe’s exact contours are still being ironed out between himself and Chair Mike Kelly, R-Pa., but he hopes a task force visit to the site of the July 13 Trump rally shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, will be part of their work. Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks, 20, opened fire from a nearby rooftop during the event, grazing Trump’s right ear, killing a former firefighter and seriously wounding two other spectators before being shot dead by a Secret Service counter-sniper.

“Chairman Kelly and I have discussed that, and we do think that would be an important thing to do if we have the support to do it,” Crow said.

He also said “a lot of things appear to have gone wrong” the day of the shooting and pledged a “fast investigation,” noting the group has to release a report in December.

IRAN THREAT PROMPTS QUESTIONS ABOUT TRUMP GUNMAN’S UNCRACKED ENCRYPTION

Crow listed the questions he had: “Are we actually looking at that intelligence properly? Is it being disseminated to the proper law enforcement officials? Why wasn’t there a secure perimeter? Why was that rooftop unsecure?”

He also explained that the apparent communications breakdown is going to be a major tenet of their probe, adding, “I learned in my time overseas in combat that one of the hardest things to do is actually achieve interoperability of our communications between … different units in different locations.”

“It was very hard to do. But it’s also the essential thing to do, because if you’re not communicating and talking, things fall through the cracks.”

Simone Biles turns heads after celebratory post takes shot at former president

Olympic superstar Simone Biles celebrated a victory in the all-around final on Thursday with a gold medal and a goat necklace around her neck, solidifying her status in the sport as one of the best.

Biles’ celebratory post on Friday was enough to turn heads.

“I love my black job,” Biles wrote on X.

The references to “black job” appeared to be a swipe at former President Trump, who made the initial reference during a debate against President Biden on June 27.

“The fact is that his big kill on the Black people is the millions of people that he’s allowed to come in through the border. They’re taking Black jobs now,” Trump said of illegal immigrants during the CNN debate. “They’re taking Black jobs and they’re taking Hispanic jobs. And you haven’t seen it yet, but you’re going to see something that’s going to be the worst in our history.”

FLAVOR FLAV HELPS US OLYMPIC ATHLETE PAY RENT AFTER CRIES FOR HELP ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Trump was asked about the reference again during his appearance at the National Association for Black Journalists conference earlier this week.

“A Black job is anybody that has a job,” Trump said.

Biles received support from LeBron James after the comment was posted.

Biles picked up her sixth gold medal of her career and the second of her time in Paris.

Pop star’s driver’s license suspended after DWI in ritzy New York town

During Justin Timberlake‘s virtual court appearance in Sag Harbor, NY, on Friday, the pop star pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving drunk in June, Fox News Digital confirms. 

Justice Carl Irace also officially suspended Timberlake’s driver’s license and permission to drive in New York. 

The next court hearing is a lawyer conference scheduled for Friday, August 9. 

Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor on Long Island, New York, around 12:15 a.m. on June 18. He failed to stop at a stop sign and was unable to stay in the right lane before he was pulled over, then “performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,” according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE BREAKS SILENCE ON DWI ARREST AT CHICAGO CONCERT

He had “bloodshot and glossy eyes,” was “unable to divide his attention” and had a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage … emanating from his breath.” He was “unsteady afoot” and exhibited “slow speech,” the arresting officer wrote.

The “SexyBack” singer told the arresting officer he had had one martini at The American Hotel and was following some friends home. He was taken to a police station in East Hampton, where he refused a breathalyzer test.

Timberlake was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated, along with citations for failure to keep right and failure to stop at a stop sign, the district attorney’s office confirmed to Fox News at the time. 

Last week, Burke claimed the singer was “not intoxicated” and “should not have been arrested for DWI.”

After appearing at a court hearing on July 26, Burke said the police had made “significant errors” during their investigation on the evening of June 18.

“The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI,” Burke said in a statement to Fox News Digital that day. “The police made a number of very significant errors in this case. In court today, you heard the district attorney try to fix one of those errors. But that’s just one, and there are many others. Sometimes the police make mistakes, and this is just one of those instances.”

Burke emphasized that Timberlake “respects law enforcement” and fully understands the “important work” they do on a daily basis. 

“The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI.”

— Ed Burke, Timberlake’s attorney

“He cooperated with the police officers at all times and treated them with the respect they deserve,” Burke said in his statement. “He also respects the entire judicial process, including the District Attorney and Judge who were in court today.”

“But the fact remains, he was not intoxicated, and they made an error in arresting him for it,” he concluded. “We are confident that this charge will be dismissed.”

The week of his arrest, Timberlake thanked his fans for their unwavering support. 

After briefly admitting, “It’s been a tough week” at his June 21 concert in Chicago, Timberlake expanded on his gratitude, without directly mentioning his arrest.

“This [tour] is just something that keeps watching over me, more so on this tour than any other,” the singer said, according to People. “And that’s that mostly all of us here in this room tonight, in this arena tonight, have grown up together. So many of you come up to me and say, ‘I grew up with you, man.'”

“… I want each and every one of you to know I’ve grown up with you,” he continued. “You have been such a big and beautiful part of my life, and sometimes I can’t find the words to show my gratitude that you guys just keep riding with me and riding with me.”

He also noted, according to the outlet, that whether someone was a fan from his *NSYNC days or his solo work, he appreciated their support, thanking them for being “here right now.” He added, “I just wanna say you guys keep loving me and coming back and spending and sharing this experience with me.”

“And from the bottom of my heart, I want you to know that until I’m somewhere off this earth, I will never forget each and every one of you,” Timberlake said. “You made my life so special. And tonight in Chicago, you have made us feel loved.”
