Feds abruptly close migrant facility housing children after mysterious death of worker
The teenage girls were reportedly forced to use ‘plastic bags for toilets’
A Houston-area migrant center that housed hundreds of teenage girls who crossed into the United States as unaccompanied minors abruptly closed over the weekend, leading immigrant advocates to more questions than answers.
Even more surprising, the facility opened less than three weeks ago — and shuttered after one worker suddenly died.
According to KTRK-TV, a “flurry of activity” was witnessed outside the facility prior to the Department of Health and Human Services announcing the facility was being closed.
The government said the displaced girls — ages 13-17, who numbered between 450-500 at the facility — would be united with sponsors or transferred to another HHS refuge facility.
Today, HHS announced that all of the children in HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) care at the Emergency Intake Site (EIS) for Unaccompanied Children at the National Association of Christian Churches site in Houston, Texas (NACC Houston) will be immediately unified with sponsors or transferred to an appropriate ORR facility.
Bezos Lays Out Amazon’s Strategic Shift, Defends Work Practices After Failed Union Bid
‘We are going to be Earth’s Best Employer and Earth’s Safest Place to Work,’ Bezos said
Amazon founder and world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, told shareholders in his final letter as chief executive that the company needs to “do a better job” for its employees, while signaling a strategic shift in Amazon’s priorities and pushing back against criticism of its work practices.
Bezos said in the letter that Amazon is expanding its mission to give more prominence to workplace safety and employee satisfaction.
“We have always wanted to be Earth’s Most Customer-Centric Company. We won’t change that. It’s what got us here. But I am committing us to an addition. We are going to be Earth’s Best Employer and Earth’s Safest Place to Work,” Bezos wrote.
Bezos also said that Amazon’s recent defeat of an attempt by some workers to form the company’s first union in Alabama did not bring him “comfort.”
“Does your chair take comfort in the outcome of the recent union vote in Bessemer? No, he doesn’t,” Bezos wrote.
Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer voted against forming a union by a more than a 2-to-1 margin. Workers who opted against joining the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union (RWDSU) said they were unconvinced that the union could improve conditions that are already better than most entry-level jobs in the area.
“Amazon is not perfect, there are flaws, but we are committed to correcting those flaws and management has been, thus far, on board with us,” William Stokes, who works in the warehouse, told reporters in a press conference organized by Amazon.
Jesus joins QAnon?! ‘Passion of the Christ’ star stirs controversy as he cryptically dives into ‘adrenochroming of children’
‘Passion of the Christ’ actor Jim Caviezel is being aligned with the QAnon movement by critics after delving into what he called “adrenochroming of children” at a right-wing conference.
At a ‘Health and Freedom Conference,’ featuring prominent supporters of former US President Donald Trump like MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, Caviezel made reference to “adrenochrome” when speaking about the real-life version of a character he plays in the upcoming film, ‘Sound of Freedom.’
In the movie, Caviezel portrays Tim Ballard, who became a popular figure among QAnon followers for his work with his group The Nazarene Fund, which works to “liberate the captive, to free the enslaved, and to rescue, rebuild and restore the lives of Christians and other persecuted religious and ethnic minorities wherever and whenever they are in need.”
Explaining that Ballard was supposed to attend the conference with him, Caviezel said the former Department of Homeland Security official was off saving children at the moment from the “darkest recesses of Hell right now,” one of those apparently being the “adrenochroming of children.”
Adrenochrome a frequent term central to QAnon conspiracy theories regarding the alleged sex trafficking of children by influential figures in politics and entertainment. Adrenochrome is a chemical compound produced by adrenaline, and QAnon conspiracy theorists claim the consumption of adrenochrome from minors have regenerative powers.

The Oregonian tweeted on Saturday that since it was a white male who was killed on Friday in an officer involved shooting, there was no reason to riot.
The Oregonian tweeted on Saturday that since it was a white male who was killed on Friday in an officer involved shooting, there was no reason to riot. In a now deleted tweet the newspaper wrote, “The man who was killed was a white male in his 30s, according to three sources with knowledge of the investigation. The Oregonian/OregonLive is identifying the man’s race in light of social unrest prompted by police shootings of black people.”
Kayleigh McEnany Reveals She Warned Reporters Not To Believe Russia Bounties Story
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has spoken out to say that she warned reporters not to be so quick to buy into a New York Times story about Russia putting bounties on American troops last summer.
McEnany Speaks Out
“I was asked dozens and dozens of questions about the Russia bounties,” McEnany told Fox News.
“I cautioned reporters on the first day the story came out and I said, ‘Do not be so quick to buy this New York Times story. This information is unverified. There are dissenting opinions in the intelligence community. Do not run with this narrative. It’s just simply not true and not the case,’” she added. ”
The New York Times released a report last summer claiming that American intelligence officials had found that Russia’s military intelligence secretly offered Taliban-linked militants bounties to kill the U.S. troops that were still in Afghanistan, according to Newsweek.
Biden finally ‘admits’ to border CRISIS
President Joe Biden has finally referred to the record influx of illegal immigrants at the US-Mexico border as a “crisis” and acknowledged that the situation has undermined his plans to admit more refugees from around the world.
“The problem was that the refugee part was working on the crisis that ended up on the border with young people. We couldn’t do two things at once,” Biden told reporters on Saturday after playing a round of golf in Wilmington, Delaware. “And now we’re going to increase the numbers.”
Biden was assailed by immigration activists on Friday, when he issued an emergency declaration tweaking his administration’s refugee program without fulfilling a pledge to raise the historically low cap on refugee admissions set by his predecessor, Donald Trump. He left the cap for the federal government’s current fiscal year, ending on September 30, at 15,000 – about one-fifth of the level of admissions allowed before Trump took office in 2017.
Biden had pledged to boost the cap to 62,500 in the current fiscal year and to 125,000 in fiscal 2022. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) called Biden’s failure to raise the number on Friday “utterly unacceptable” and contrary to the promises that caused people to vote for him. Former labor secretary Robert Reich called the move “a shameful broken promise.”
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki issued a statement later on Friday, following the backlash, saying that Biden would announce a higher refugee cap by May 15. Biden has been consulting with advisers on how many refugees the US can accommodate through the end of September, she said, and given the “decimated” program that he inherited from Trump and the current border “burdens” on the Office of Refugee Settlement, “his initial goal of 62,500 seems unlikely.”
Antifa ‘Panicking’ About Police Informant Inside Network: Andy Ngo
Members of the infamous Antifa cell in Portland are anxious after an informant in their midst gave information to police, leading to arson charges, Antifa expert Andy Ngo says.
“They’re panicking because this may possibly mean that somebody has infiltrated high … and there’s a lot at risk, because this is a criminal cartel,” Ngo said Saturday on NTD’s “The Nation Speaks.”
“And if there’s somebody in there and they don’t know who it is who’s informing on them, it could bring down the entire cell,” Ngo added. “I’m hopeful that that will happen, although I’m not sure if there’s the political will for the investigators to actually go through and fully investigate all the links and ties that this individual suspect has. But this is at least a little bit of good news in regards to months and months of really terrible things happening in Portland with no changes happening.”
Portland has seen repeated rioting since the spring of 2020. At least some of the violence has been linked to members of Antifa, a far-left, anarcho-communist network that has carried out violent acts in cities across the country.
Last week, prosecutors announced they were charging Alma Raven-Guido, a 19-year-old who has attended multiple riots, with arson, criminal mischief, and rioting—all felonies.
Raven-Guido is accused of pouring flammable liquid onto a fire that had been started at the building housing the Portland Police Association, a police union, during a riot on April 13. That liquid “resulted in the fire growing,” Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said.
A witness saw one of the bottles Raven-Guido use catch fire and start melting and also told police that they saw her place the three bottles into a backpack. In a court document, a police officer described the witness as “the informant.”
Portland police officers found an accelerant and lighters when they arrested Raven-Guido shortly after the fire was set. They also found her to be in possession of a crow bar, spray paint, and heavy marker.
