Late Sunday night I wrote about some concerning allegations of threats and intimidation leveled against the Biden administration by members and members-elect of Guatemala's Congress, and a report that the son of Guatemala's outgoing president - a conservative who'd butted heads with the Biden administration on numerous occasions - had been detained by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) at the Miami airport despite having visited the United States numerous times in the past two years and having all of the necessary paperwork.
According to Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Alejandro Giammattei Caceres, son of Guatemala's outgoing president, Alejandro Giammattei, has now been deported.
They let in 300,000 illegals last month alone.

Unlike all of them, Alejandro Giammatei had a visa.
So why deport him but not them?
Lee claims that the younger Giammattei had a visa and had traveled to the U.S. "many times in recent years without issue" and makes the great point that the administration has let in 300,000 illegals last month alone so why are they giving a person with a visa such a hard time?
In many parts of the world, like Guatemala, USAID is literally doing the subversive work where the Soviets left off.

It's clear that Giammattei Caceres' denial of entry has to do with his father's politics and refusal to kowtow to the demands of Samantha Power and the Biden State Department. Biden officials were quite upset that then-President Giammattei reappointed an Attorney General who'd fired the head of the Special Prosecutor's Office Against Impunity (FECI) and "arrested a lawyer the United Nations-backed anti-corruption commission CICIG," a group that was expelled from the country. Readers can draw their own conclusions as to why people like Samantha Power would be upset by those actions, but we do know that Biden does like to tell the leaders of sovereign nations who they can select as anti-corruption prosecutors, and one of Biden's standard tactics is to accuse anyone who actually investigates corruption of being corrupt themselves.
J. Michael Waller, Senior Analyst for Strategy at the Center for Security Policy, doesn't mince words, though:
"In many parts of the world, like Guatemala, USAID is literally doing the subversive work where the Soviets left off."
The actions CBP took against Giammattei Caceres track with the serious allegations made Sunday by Guatemalan Congresswoman-elect Sandra Jovel:
Current and elected members of the Guatemalan Congress have reported that they have been intimidated and are currently being preassured by US Embassy personnel with visa removals, business blockades and other sanctions if they do not vote to elect a specific candidate as Speaker of the House. They have gone as far as using an employee of UN-Women to communicate that the US knows where they and their families live.
So far, and predictably, the mainstream media has been silent about this important story. If there was a legitimate reason for Giammattei Caceres to have his visa removed and it wasn't related to this alleged plot by U.S. officials to threaten and intimidate officials in foreign governments, then we need to know.
