The Ukraine funding bill poised to pass the Senate could be used as a predicate to impeach Donald Trump should he win a second term‚ Sen. JD Vance‚ R-Ohio‚ argued Monday.  Vance joined a forum on X‚ the social media platform formerly known as Twitter‚ along with Sens. Mike Lee‚ R-Utah‚ Sen. Ron Johnson‚ R-Wis.‚ and others.  Over the weekend‚ with 18 Republicans joining the Democrat majority‚ the Senate moved to close debate and go to a vote on a $95 billion supplemental spending bill for Ukraine‚ which is defending itself from Russia’s invasion‚ and Israel‚ which is attempting to eradicate Hamas after its Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. About $61 billion of aid would go to Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel.  “There is actually a very good argument that the exact same legal justification for the impeachment of 2019 would hold with this legislation‚” Vance said of Trump’s impeachment by a Democrat-run House over his phone call to Ukraine’s president. Vance referenced a recent Washington Post story that said: “Not incidentally‚ a U.S. official said‚ the hope is that the long-term promise—again assuming congressional buy-in—will also ‘future-proof’ aid for Ukraine against the possibility that former President Donald Trump wins his reelection bid.” “The funding for Ukraine doesn’t just extend into 2024‚ it extends into 2025 and arguably even 2026‚” Vance said of the bill. “By the admission of administration officials‚ it would explicitly tie the hands of the next president of the United States and force that president to continue funneling weapons and resources for Ukraine instead of negotiating a settlement.” In 2019‚ the Democrat-controlled House impeached Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in connection with his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the potentially corrupt actions of Trump’s then-likely reelection opponent Joe Biden and his son‚ Hunter Biden.  As president‚ Biden supports continued funding for Ukraine—arguing that Russia must be prevented from further aggression. By contrast‚ Trump has said that if elected‚ he would negotiate a peaceful resolution between Ukraine and Russia.  “He will have a diplomatic agenda that would be directly thwarted by this legislation‚” Vance said of Trump. “If he didn’t send the money to Ukraine—as is currently required by this legislation—it would establish a predicate that is exactly the same as the predicate in the 2019 articles of impeachment.” Other senators argued on the X forum that U.S. aid to Ukraine so far has been subject to little accountability.  “The fact that we would do this without putting an inspector general in place specifically for this and adopting all sorts of other transparency‚ auditability provisions turns a blind eye to corruption‚” Lee said. The Utah Republican added: “When you give them about $8 billion to pay their civil servants‚ their bureaucracy‚ and you don’t put any restrictions on their ability to use it for salaries‚ or to use it for backing up the Ukrainian welfare system‚ or to use it for handouts to favored companies like clothing stores and sellers of concert tickets‚ you know that it’s going to continue.” Johnson argued that the Biden administration seems to have no clear strategy in the Russia-Ukraine war beyond increasing military funding for Ukraine.  “One of the depraved justifications for all the spending is that it’s really not going over to Ukraine‚ it’s helping to build our industrial base‚ and so it’s creating jobs in your state‚” Johnson said.  The Wisconsin Republican stressed that his opposition to more aid for Ukraine is not support for Russian President Vladimir Putin. “The only way this war ends is in a settlement‚ and every day the war goes on more Ukrainians‚ more Russian conscripts‚ die‚ more civilians die‚ the more Ukraine gets destroyed‚” Johnson said. “As evil as a war criminal [as] Putin is‚ he’s not going to lose this war. Our colleagues here are just not going to accept that reality and are living in a fantasy world.” X owner Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneurs David Sacks and Vivek Ramaswamy‚ the latter until recently a GOP presidential candidate‚ were also part of the forum. Ramaswamy‚ who now supports Trump in November’s presidential election‚ complained about “planting the seeds for the next impeachment.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell‚ R-Ky.‚ was among the 18 Republicans who joined Democrats to advance the funding package supported by Biden.  “It is no exaggeration to say that the eyes of the world are on the United States Senate‚” McConnell said Sunday in a floor speech. “Our allies and partners are hoping that the indispensable nation—the leader of the free world—has the resolve to continue. And our adversaries are hoping for something quite different. Friends and foes alike‚ pay close attention to what we say here and how we vote. Because American leadership matters‚ and it is in question.” Musk reiterated that skepticism about more U.S. funding for Ukraine is not support for Putin.  “When I’ve raised this point‚ people have accused me of being some Putin apologist‚” Musk said. “My company has probably done more to undermine Russia than anybody. Space X has taken away two-thirds of the Russian launch business. Starlink has overwhelmingly helped Ukraine.” Musk owns both enterprises‚ as well as X and automaker Tesla.

Federal immigration authorities caught and released a Pakistani man who illegally crossed America’s southern border and whose name appeared on the nation’s terror watchlist‚ according to a memo from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Pakistani national entered the U.S. illegally Nov. 9 and was nabbed by the Border Patrol the next day in Tecate‚ California‚ according to the memo‚ which was received from two different sources in the Department of Homeland Security‚ parent agency to both ICE and the Border Patrol. While the Pakistani was in Border Patrol custody Nov. 22‚ the Terrorism Screening Center confirmed that he was a positive match on the terror watchlist‚ according to the memo. Despite this‚ the memo says‚ the terror suspect was released Jan. 23 from the custody of ICE’s San Diego office after the agency served him with an Order of Release on Recognizance with tracking technology through a program called Alternatives to Detention. Border agents served th e Pakistani with an expedited removal order Nov. 11‚ after which he said that he had a credible fear of going back to Pakistan‚ according to the memo. On Jan. 24‚ however‚ the ICE office in San Diego informed the agency’s office in Los Angeles of the man’s presence on the terror watchlist‚ along with his “mandatory detention requirement‚” and had him report on his own to the Alternatives to Detention check-in office. ICE in Los Angeles was able to arrest him when he showed up for the check-in. “Imagine how many cases like this one get through without us knowing‚” one Department of Homeland Security official told the Daily Caller News Foundation on the condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. When individuals are placed in expedited removal proceedings‚ according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services‚ asylum officers conduct interviews to determine which of them has a “well-founded fear of persecution on account of your race‚ religion‚ nationality‚ membership in a particular social group‚ or political opinion if returned to your country.” This fear could keep asyum-seekers from returning home and allow them to access the asylum process.  If an asylum officer denies it is a credible claim of fear‚ the individual can ask to have his case heard by an immigration judge. Immigration judges each have an average of 4‚500 pending cases‚ according to a December report from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. The Daily Caller News Foundation isn’t publishing the internal agency memo or the name of the individual on the terror watchlist to protect the identities of confidential sources. The memo didn’t disclose the terror organization with which the individual has a connection. “One of the biggest issues in preventing terrorists from entering the United States‚ in my opinion‚ is the backlog of records checks being run by the massive amounts of people flooding the border‚” a second DHS official said. “When it takes more than three months for an agency to determine if someone is/was a Known Suspected Terrorist‚ that is a huge problem.” “Who knows how many after-the-fact realizations were made after releasing someone into the country‚” this second official said. “We may never know until they are encountered by law enforcement at a later date. Very well after it’s too late.” The Border Patrol caught 172 individuals on the terrorist watchlist attempting to enter the United States illegally in fiscal year 2023‚ which ended Sept. 30. From October through December‚ the Border Patrol recorded 50 encounters with individuals on the terrorist watchlist‚ according to federal data. Border Patrol agents also recorded 98 encounters with individuals on the terror watchlist in fiscal year 2022 and 16 in fiscal year 2021‚ according to the data. ICE officers in Minnesota nabbed a member of the Somali terror group al-Shabaab on Jan. 20 after authorities released him shortly after he illegally crossed the southern border near San Ysidro‚ California‚ on March 13‚ 2023‚ according to an internal federal memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Terrorist Screening Center deemed the 27-year-old Somali national a “mismatch’” on the watchlist‚ but later determined that he was a confirmed member of al-Shabaab. ICE didn’t respond to a request for comment. Border Patrol agents caught an individual Tuesday who crossed the southern border illegally and admitted to previous ties to a Colombian terrorist organization‚ according to an internal memo Feb. 6 from Customs and Border Protection exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
