Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego is launching an effort to challenge a new Trump Administration immigration policy that could require many green card applicants to leave the United States and complete the process abroad.

According to a report from The Hill, Gallego is not only seeking to overturn the policy itself but is also pursuing a procedural strategy that could make it easier for Congress to reverse the change.

The dispute revolves around a recent U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) policy affecting how certain immigrants obtain lawful permanent residency.

ANALYSIS – From the beginning, conspiracies have surrounded the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Stunned conservatives couldn’t believe Republicans caused that mayhem. Some called it a deliberate false flag operation by the feds to entrap innocent Trump supporters and launch a massive witch hunt.

Both last two things did occur.

Meanwhile, the Democrats and media called the afternoon event an attempted coup and later, more steadily, ‘the insurrection.’

It was neither. But it also wasn’t a well-orchestrated false flag operation. The truth is just as bad but less planned.

I was at the Capitol on Jan 6 as a security contractor for a foreign TV news crew, and I condemned the violence the next day. I wrote that the, at times, violent riot wasn’t a coup or an insurrection, but the violence was criminal behavior and should be punished.

I also noted that the rioters all appeared to be passionate Trump supporters and not likely a false flag operation by the feds or antifa infiltrators.

Since then, I have defended many of the peaceful protesters unfairly caught up in the FBI dragnet and harshly charged for minor nonviolent crimes.

I have also written about the large number of undercover police and federal agents and their informants since identified at the Capitol that day. And I have noted how the Democrats in charge of the House and Senate that day refused National Guard support, as did the Democrat mayor of D.C.

At least until it was too late.

Now, former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund has added his insight into the events. And he claims that it seems as if they wanted something to happen.

Sund resigned from his post shortly after the riots. He had been chief of the Capitol Police since 2019 and had served as a police officer for more than 30 years in total.

Newsmax reported on his untelevised interview with Tucker Carlson taped before Carlson was fired from Fox News:

“Everything appears to be a cover-up,” Sund told Carlson. “I’m not a conspiracy theorist … but when you look at the information and intelligence they had, the military had, it’s all watered down. I’m not getting intelligence, I’m denied any support from National Guard in advance. I’m denied National Guard while we’re under attack, for 71 minutes …”

… “Could there possibly be actually … they kind of wanted something to happen? It’s not a far stretch to begin to think that. It’s sad when you start putting everything together and thinking about the way this played out … what was their end goal?”

Sund told Carlson he believes that Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley and then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had intelligence of what was coming on Jan. 6 but failed to communicate it and subsequently covered it up.

“If I was allowed to do my job as the chief we wouldn’t be here; this didn’t have to happen,” he said.

Carlson also said on Russel Brand’s podcast that Sund told him: ‘Oh yeah, that crowd was filled with federal agents.’

This all fits neatly with much of what I have noted previously. But while I blamed Democrat leaders for holding back needed support to defend the Capitol for other political reasons, Sund seems to believe they held it back because they started hoping for a big chaotic show they could then turn into a political circus.

And the chaos ensued, and so did their circus.

Sadly, Donald Trump and some of his supporters fell for the trap.

    I believe Trump should have been aware of what could happen long before his rally and at the time he announced that he was going to have a rally at the White House I remember thinking how foolish that was. I don’t understand why Trump wasn’t smart enough to have the rally in Florida at his home there. I believe his ego got in the way and that’s something he should learn to control but can’t seem to. He would have a lot more followers on the right if he did. I feel very sure that Sund is 100% correct in everything he said and have felt this way all along.

    Piglosi and the dems had more to do with this than any one else. These are the people that should be investigated , these are the real criminals Question for you, why did the j6 panel not allow any Questions about piglosi because they knew she was behind it.

      So why isn’t Pelosi testifying now? She’s no longer Speaker so she shouldn’t be able to just refuse as she did when Speaker. She’s D.Rep. from CA. now so not staying home with hubby. How is she above testifying? Drag her ass in or file charges on her. She was there, she was making decisions, that was her job just as much as Trumps but NOT A PEEP!!!
      NO PRESSURE!!!!VERY WEIRD………

    “Sadly, Donald Trump and some of his supporters fell for the trap.” When “We The Serf’s” have to deal with being arrested, illegally, it is called ‘Police Entrapment.’ Those having initiated the “trap,” being of the ‘elite’ class, will never face the same draconian punishment as those “supporters” of Trump have!

    I believe it is incorrect to say “Donald Trump….fell for the trap.” President Trump was well aware that chaos would be inevitable if ‘safety’ precautions were not taken; i.e., bringing in the National Guard as he recommended but was denied, and denied several times. As noted, the Trump Rally was infiltrated by not just the FBI, there were ANTIFA/BLM terrorists disguised as Trump supporters throughout that crowd at/in the capitol building as well.

    Though dozens of Trump supporters have been arrested and ‘incarcerated’ “without due process,” in violation of their 5th Amendment rights, and many remain in jail for over two years after the event, NONE of the true criminals have been held accountable! The ‘murderer’ of Ashley Babbitt remains FREE and ARMED, having been absolved of any wrongdoing.

    That Capitol Police Lieutenant that killed an unarmed, 130 pound, AF Vet woman, who was NO threat to his or any other’s LIFE, remained on the job. He is the same officer(?) who incompetently left his loaded firearm in a Capitol building restroom. His firearm had to be returned by someone discovering it, as he remained unaware that it was no longer on his person!

    This incompetent Lieutenant should be facing at least the same charges as were levied against the woman officer who shot and killed a black man after having mistaken her firearm for her ‘taser!’ Has anyone else noticed that the Babbitt family has been attending the “Whistleblower’s” testimony in congress – they wear shirts with Ashley’s name on them. As I have often said, there is “NO EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW” in America today. As Ripley would say, “BELIEVE IT OR NOT!”

    Defund Biden and his illegals gained treason money, Make CCP support treason punish any one braking treasdon laws ie BLM ANTIFA etc..
