White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday credited a lack of Congressional funding for immigration enforcement and “rogue district court judges” for the Trump Administration’s inability to follow through on mass deportations.
As of April 1, 2025, over 100,000 individuals had been deported since January 20, 2025. But this is far slower than the rate necessary to deport the tens of millions of illegals in our country right now.
To deport the more than 20 million illegal aliens that Leavitt says entered the U.S. in the last four years, the Trump Administration would need to execute upwards of ten thousand deportations per day.
Leavitt was asked how many illegals are currently in our country and how many the administration actually estimates will be deported.
“We suspect it’s definitely in the millions and perhaps upwards of 20 million people that were allowed into the country illegally by the previous administration,” she told the reporter.
She continued, “The president’s team has made it clear that we need more funding from Congress to do more, we need more ICE agents out on the ground doing this very important work.”
She also slammed district court judges who are trying to stop the Trump Administration’s deportations, saying, “We also need rogue district court judges to stop acting as judicial activists, trying to block the administration from deporting illegal criminals from our nation’s interior.”

Nevertheless, Speaker Johnson needs to allocate the money to get these third worlders deported.
Rogue leftist judges are holding up the deportations.....
Yeah, we noticed that.
Johnson needs a swift kick in the rear! Like most GOP congressmen and senators he is all mouth!

My understanding is that there was not one nationwide injunction ever put in place by a circuit court judge prior to 1963.
There WAS some pushback in western agricultural states because of the possibility of loss of labor. The proposal to require employer verification of legal residency or citizenship was not passed. The influence of powerful agribusiness interests in Congress, who benefited from cheap labor, had historically limited Border Patrol funding.
Attorney General Brownell and Eisenhower sought increased funding for the understaffed Border Patrol and proposed constructing a 150-mile fence along the California-Mexico border. Congress responded positively by increasing Border Patrol funding, influenced by media coverage of illegal immigration as a threat to national security and the economy.
There is little evidence of widespread congressional objections to the deportation campaign itself. The operation was partly a response to public and political pressure, including a 1951 report from President Truman’s Commission on Migratory Labor, which blamed illegal immigration for social and economic issues, describing it as “virtually an invasion.” This sentiment, echoed in congressional circles, likely muted broad opposition to deportations.
Some Mexican-American groups, like the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and the American G.I. Forum, supported stricter enforcement, believing undocumented workers harmed Mexican-American farmworkers’ wages and assimilation efforts. This support from community groups aligned with congressional sentiments favoring immigration control.
It is time for extreme enforcement on employers who employ illegal aliens. The administration needs to advertise the ICE reporting number an offer award for every person who reports illegal aliens at an employer that results in an illegal alien being apprehended.
Incredible!
I was going to write this. Cut off employment and welfare many will leave.
The reason things are being held up is because Trump failed to declare a national emergency and state of invasion.
That’s the whole point, delay, delay delay.
Then take the money from the Congressional budget.
We need some indictments and arrests. All for naught otherwise. “The Resistance” inside the federal govt is emboldened daily by the lack of consequences.
Every day, every hour they can delay it, they win. They know it and the other side knows it. In fact , every one knows it but the idiots. The idiots gleefully exclaim, “Look what is being done!” When, in fact, nothing is being done yo get at the root cause of the problem.
They are only holding you weaklings up, Ms. NoseJob, because you are, well, weaklings and fools. TRUMP HAS LEARNED NOTHING FROM HIS FIRST TERM AND ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT.
The way the Department of Education is being allowed to dumb down the populace guarantees that Trump's enemies will get another chance at him. Each year two groups of idiots ate turned loose on the public. One group from the high schools. One group from the colleges and universities.
Trying to send deportees to El Salvador’s prison and to revoke student visas by seizing female doctoral students off the street to please Israel is not a recipe for getting millions of illegals out fast.
“The other two branches of government stopped us” is not a great excuse. Sorry suckers, there goes your country!
Yep. Or use e-verify or even suspend habeas corpus.
Lots that could have been done or still be done without all the extreme performative crap we’ve been seeing.
