After a video surfaced showing the Biden administration has been secretly chartering commercial jets to transport illegal immigrants to various cities across the country, United States Representative Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) called for the impeachment of President Joe Biden.
In what many are referring to as a gross dereliction of duty, Biden’s plan to address the southern border crisis includes arranging for taxpayer-funded taxis, buses, and chartered commercial jets to transport illegal and unvaccinated immigrants, in the middle of the night, to dozens of cities across the country.
Republican lawmakers Nicole Malliotakis and Claudia Tenney expressed their outrage on Thursday after leaked footage showed airplanes filled with immigrants being flown into southern New York.
“This is a complete, aggravated dereliction of duty, which is why last night on Twitter I called for Joe Biden to be impeached and removed,” said Tenney, according to Fox News. “His primary obligation as the commander-in-chief and President of the United States is to enforce our laws, to live up to his oath, to enforce our border security, and to tell the truth to the American people.”
Tucker Carlson asserted that the administration has contracted with multiple “smaller airports” and scheduled flights to arrive at night to keep the illegal activity on the “down-low” and “hidden from the public.”
Noting the long-standing nature of this problem, Carlson showed a bodycam video from a Westchester County police officer taken in August 2021. The officer said:
“Everybody knows what is happening. The government is betraying the American people.”
Former Westchester County executive and gubernatorial candidate, Rob Astorino, obtained the footage via a Freedom of Information Act request. The 51-minute video shows multiple planes transporting immigrants.
Astorino told Carlson:
“Our government is completely out of control right now. They have lied to us. They’ve lied to the American people.”
Astorino added that he personally witnessed migrants being put on a bus, taken to a Costco parking lot, and “then released into cars into the community.”
Highlighting how the Biden administration’s immigration policy jeopardizes public safety, the video shows Westchester Police Sgt. Michael Hamborsky asking federal contractors about the after-hours flights and why local police were not provided details.
“You’re on a secure facility here,” said Hamborsky to the federal officials. “[But the local police] don’t know anything and we’re in charge of security [for the area],” he told one of the contractors.
“This is anti all our security [protocols],” added Hamborsky.
Joining the Carlson interview, Rep. Malliotakis noted that aiding and abetting illegal immigration is a violation of the law:
“And you have it coming from the President of the United States. It is completely unacceptable. The Supreme Court ruled that he had to reinstate ‘Remain in Mexico’ and he’s clearly not done that.”
“In addition to that, you know that the drug cartels are making billions and billions of dollars every month with human trafficking, drug trafficking,” Malliotakis continued. “We have the highest rate of fentanyl deaths in this country.”
Malliotakis concluded with the following:
“Among 18-to-45-year-olds, it is the leading cause of death. Yet this President is on the side of the drug cartels and not the American people. We have many pieces of legislation that will address this very issue, but we need to take the House first.”
