Staff Reports
The Trump administration is not dawdling in its mission to rid the nation of illegal migrants, executing a hardline enforcement agenda that would make any school principal proud. With deportations reaching levels not seen in history, the administration is cranking up the deportation machine to full throttle, and they aren’t just removing a few stray cats. On a recent Thursday alone, 538 illegal migrant criminals were sent packing, and the deportation flights, courtesy of military aircraft, are soaring off like a well-oiled machine.
Some of the individuals caught up in this operation are of particular concern. The latest haul included a suspected terrorist, several members of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang, and a handful of unsavory characters with records for alarming crimes, including sex offenses against minors. It’s safe to say that this isn’t your average group of “undocumented immigrants” trying to find a better life; these are the kind of folks who have no business in the United States to begin with.

According to the administration, it has apprehended about 1,300 migrants, with more than 1,000 of them packing a criminal history. That fact alone has caused some raised eyebrows among those advocating for a softer approach to immigration. If those advocating open borders had any sense, they might realize that the math of welcoming criminals versus welcoming hard-working citizens just doesn’t add up. Even the so-called asylum claims are taking a hit, with courts rejecting most due to legal flaws—though you wouldn’t know this from the predictable outcry from the left.
President Trump wasted no time upon entering office. An executive order declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border paved the way for more resources and, crucially, military support in tackling the immigration crisis. This wasn’t just a slap on the wrist for illegal crossers; it’s an all-hands-on-deck situation, moving troops to the border and deploying military planes to assist in deportation missions. It’s a swift response that even the most hardened critics can’t ignore.
The administration isn’t just buffing up its operational muscles; it’s covering all bases by reforming the rules that previously hamstrung deportation efforts. Sensitive locations like schools and hospitals, once deemed off-limits for enforcement activities, are now fair game. Added to the mix is the expanded expedited removal policy that effectively allows enforcement officials to boot illegal immigrants out without dragging their feet through the judicial process. This move is smart and streamlined, emphasizing efficiency over unnecessary bureaucracy—something any sensible individual can appreciate.
Finally, an entire task force is being formed to target rogue sanctuary cities that obstruct federal immigration guidelines. The Department of Justice has launched efforts to ensure that those flouting federal law won’t get away scot-free. The message here is abundantly clear: laws are meant to be followed, and anyone standing in the way of ICE’s mission can expect their day in court—so sanctuary city officials should brace themselves. The days of lax enforcement and coddling illegals may soon be numbered, much to the delight of law-abiding citizens everywhere.
