Trump Just Delivered Nightmare News To Democrats – HE DID IT!
A study released on Monday revealed that since President Trump resumed office in January, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported over 100,000 individuals as part of his pledge to remove illegal immigrants, suspected terrorists, and gang members from the U.S.
Since Trump's inauguration on January 20, ICE has carried out 113,000 arrests and facilitated more than 100,000 deportations, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) source who provided information to the New York Post.
“He’s doing what he was voted in to do. Point blank!” an ICE official told the outlet.
The Post indicated that while most of those deported appear to be sent to Mexico, precise details regarding their criminal records, immigration cases, or specific countries of origin remain unclear.
Trump made a firm commitment to tackling illegal immigration during his campaign. On his first day back in office, he declared a border emergency, deployed thousands of additional troops, halted the asylum process for illegal border crossers, and initiated a large-scale deportation operation nationwide.
Following 32,000 arrests within the first 50 days, ICE has now "maxed out" its detention capacity and is seeking additional funding from Congress to expand bed space, as reported by The Post.
As part of his extensive crackdown on transnational criminal organizations, Trump has also invoked the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members without trial, transferring them to a high-security mega jail in El Salvador.
Earlier this month, a federal judge temporarily halted the use of the rarely applied wartime-era Alien Enemies Act, but prior to that, 17 alleged members of the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs were deported to El Salvador in shackles on Sunday night.
Meanwhile, the number of unlawful crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border has plummeted to levels not seen in decades, particularly in March. DHS sources attribute this decline to what they call "the Trump effect."
“Illegal entries into the United States are no longer a backdoor way to getting status,” a source told The Post.
Border authorities recorded fewer than 7,000 illegal crossings in March—a sharp 94% decline from the 137,000 crossings that occurred in the same month last year under President Joe Biden. February also saw a significant decrease, with only about 8,300 unlawful crossings, the lowest number in at least 25 years.
A DHS source told The Post that migrants are now “frightened there are consequences now” and that “everyone who is caught is charged and does time.”
According to reports, most of the illegal crossings have been concentrated in the San Diego and El Paso border sectors. If current trends continue, illegal migration levels in the U.S. could drop to figures not seen since 1968, The Post reported.
Last week, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly shared her perspective on her daily show, suggesting that U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts may find himself in a challenging position regarding President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport illegal migrant gang members.
After a lower court ruled that Trump’s application of the centuries-old legislation was unlawful, a federal appellate court upheld the decision on Thursday, prompting the administration to file an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court. On her SiriusXM program, Kelly speculated that Roberts could be the first Republican-appointed justice to oppose the president.
“John Roberts, above all, knows if he hands down a ruling telling the commander-in-chief that the nine men and women in black robes have the final say over what is perceived as a military threat unleashed on us by a foreign government, he’s on the thinnest of possible ice,” Kelly remarked. “He’s so obsessed with the court. I just can’t see him wanting to do it.”
