🚨 BREAKING: Tom Homan reveals a sudden SPIKE in ICE arrests of illegal aliens who are *NOT* criminals or "worst of the worst" "The numbers are about HALF AND HALF now." IT'S HAPPENING! 🔥🔥🔥 That means illegals who are TAKING American jobs, occupying American homes, and "laying low" trying not to get caught "I looked yesterday — just over half of everybody we're arresting is a criminal. About half are NOT CRIMINALS. EVERYBODY is on the table." "We prioritize public safety threats...bottom line is, EVERYBODY is on the table." Music to my ears! Because we didn't ONLY vote to deport...

A spate of rulings from the Supreme Court couldn’t be more of a mandate if they were handed down, gift-wrapped, and sealed with a kiss by God: The mass deportation of illegal aliens is legal and imperative if there’s any hope of saving this country. One ruling declared it within the president’s authority to interpret the word “temporary” as the opposite of “permanent” with regard to migrants who have been permitted to live within the U.S. for what is understood to be a finite period. He can order their removal. (Good!) A separate ruling, on the other hand, affirmed automatic...

Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told Breitbart News exclusively that deportation numbers in 2026 will very soon outpace all of 2025, and that agents from across the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are removing illegal aliens from the United States interior at record rates. As for how DHS is accomplishing this, Mullin said it is by focusing on those who have criminal records or final orders of deportation from judges — and oftentimes, he said, the federal agents will find several other illegal aliens being harbored in the same homes and they arrest them and deport them too. One...

Federal immigration agents have nabbed more than 10,000 migrant gangbangers since the start of President Trump’s second term, the US Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday. The milestone, reached just a year and a half after Trump launched his sweeping mass deportations agenda, includes arrests tied to murder, assault with a deadly weapon, drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, robbery and extortion, according to DHS. “Many of these gang members were released into our country by Joe Biden,” said DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin. “These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport.” “Thanks to the Secure America Act, ICE...

The federal judge who had ordered the government to restart the Obama-era DACA deportation amnesty in full backed off his decision Friday and said the government does not, after all, have to begin accepting brand new applications. Judge John D. Bates acknowledged the legal mess that’s arisen around DACA and said he didn’t want to make it worse, so he issued a partial stay of his own ruling. That means that while illegal immigrant “Dreamers” who already have had DACA protections can apply for renewals, no brand new applicants can apply to start the process. Judge Bates also delayed part...

This video features commentary by Benny Johnson regarding a recent ruling by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals related to Texas Senate Bill 4 (SB4). The discussion highlights the following key points: The Ruling: The Fifth Circuit court granted Texas an appeal that effectively lifts a temporary injunction, allowing the state to move forward with enforcing SB4 (2:50-3:08). Enforcement Powers: Proponents, including the future Texas Attorney General Maize Middleton, argue that this law empowers state and local law enforcement to arrest and deport individuals suspected of illegal entry, bypassing federal barriers that had previously stalled such actions (2:30-2:44, 7:48-8:13)....

WOW! Marco Rubio reveals the US has now secured deportation agreements with 20 third-party countries to deport our illegals to And DHS is using that as LEVERAGE to get illegals to stop putting up fights to go back to their home countries If you tell them they're going to Cameroon, for example, they'll give up and say "just send me home to El Salvador instead" "We've gotten 20 countries now around the world who have signed agreements that allow us to deport people to those places." "What often happens when you go to the person who's here unlawfully and say,...

The Trump administration this week onboarded more than 80 new federal immigration judges, in its latest push to expedite deportation cases and further its government-wide crackdown on illegal immigration, Justice Department officials said Thursday. The Justice Department, which oversees the U.S. immigration court system, swore in 77 permanent immigration judges and 5 temporary immigration judges, a group that officials described as the largest class of immigration judges in the department's history. The additions come after the ouster of dozens of immigration judges across the country by the Trump administration over the past year. When President Trump took office, the Justice...

Another sterling week for the Trump administration, another interval of agony for his opponents. The attention of those less politically minded is focused on the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy -- always fodder for the would-be Colombos and Miss Marples -- and the Olympics. Yet this week saw some victories for the administration along with some serious unfinished business. The ousted dictator Nicolás Maduro seems isolated, depressed, and devoid of funds sufficient to hire teams of lawyers to defend him. Any claims he might have for immunity seem destined to fail. The evidence establishes he was born in Colombia;...

President Trump’s mass deportation machine continues to PICK UP SPEED: -National ICE-involved arrests have skyrocketed up to 1,121 per day. -The Trump Administration's build-out of the 287(g) program has seen illegal alien custodial transfers, from local law enforcement to ICE, surge up to ~550 per day. -CBP border apprehensions are currently averaging ~275 per day. In total, we’re currently seeing ~1,946 illegal aliens get forcibly deported per day – 710,290 per year – and that number continues to increase.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Newsmax on Tuesday the Trump administration is continuing full-scale immigration enforcement but is deliberately taking a lower-profile approach than his predecessor, Kristi Noem, to allow agents to operate without interference. "We're staying focused on all illegals, without question," Mullin told "Rob Schmitt Tonight," pushing back on criticism that the Department of Homeland Security is prioritizing only criminal illegal immigrants. "That doesn't mean we're slowing down even a little bit." Mullin said the shift is largely about strategy and visibility, not substance. "We're purposely trying to be a little bit more quiet," he said, adding...

The U.S. Supreme Court will begin its final oral arguments sitting of the current term on Monday. The justices will hear several high profile arguments on various issues before the term ends in June. On Wednesday, justices will hear arguments in Blanche v. Lau, a case to determine how immigrants are admitted into the United States. The case focuses on Muk Choi Lau, a Chinese national who became a lawful permanent resident in the United States in 2007. In 2012, Lau was convicted of trademark counterfeiting in New Jersey and fled the country. However, once Lau returned, immigration officers admitted...

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg has been BLOCKED by the DC Court of Appeals from holding Trump officials in criminal contempt, 2-1 Boasberg was attempting to BLOCK President Trump from deporting illegals under the Alien Enemies Act The most corrupt judge in America loses AGAIN 🔥

A divided federal appeals court on Tuesday ordered US District Judge James Boasberg to end his efforts to hold Trump administration officials accountable for flouting his orders in a high-stakes immigration case. The decision comes nearly a year after Boasberg, the chief judge of the federal trial-level court in Washington, DC, said in a blockbuster ruling that “probable cause exists to find the government in criminal contempt” for defying his orders to temporarily halt the deportation of migrants under a powerful wartime authority invoked by President Donald Trump. The Trump administration appealed several times to the DC Circuit Court of...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge must end his “intrusive” contempt investigation of the Trump administration for failing to comply with an order turn around planes carrying Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador last year, a divided appeals court panel ruled Tuesday. Chief Judge James Boasberg abused his discretion in forging ahead with criminal contempt proceedings over the March 2025 deportation flights, according to the majority opinion by a three-judge panel from U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. President Donald Trump’s administration has a “clear and indisputable” right to the termination of the contempt proceedings, Circuit Judge...

According to the statement, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are currently in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending removal proceedings. The State Department said that Hashemi is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, who served as a spokeswoman for the...

The Trump administration scored a court win on Friday as a judge ruled the administration can fast-track immigration cases. Immigration advocates sued the Trump administration last month, arguing that the asylum process should take “years” to conclude and that lawyers want “at least a year” to prepare for court hearings while applicants remain in the United States, The Daily Signal previously reported. However, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols of the District of Columbia, a Trump appointee, said in his opinion that immigration law is clear on the timing of cases. “Immigration judges are directed to resolve cases ‘in a timely...

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has just dealt a crushing blow to open-borders activists. The full Fifth Circuit REFUSED to grant en banc rehearing in the critical case Buenrostro-Mendez v. Bondi, locking in its earlier February 2026 panel ruling that upholds the Trump administration’s full authority to detain illegal aliens without bond hearings while their deportation proceedings move forward. [snip] Even long-term illegal residents who snuck in years ago get no automatic bond hearings to waltz back into American communities. This victory comes on the heels of similar wins, including the Eighth Circuit’s recent ruling siding...

The disgraced relative of an Iranian warlord being deported from California has reached out to her former LA love interest from an ICE detention center to beg for help. Married Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, 47, niece of terror mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani – former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard who was taken out in a deadly 2020 U.S. air strike – frantically called Maziar Aflaki, 68, on Monday from the facility in Pearsall, Texas. But on hearing her voice, retiree Aflaki declined to accept the call, claiming years of harassment and abuse at the hands of Afshar. He told the...
