ICE to Target Illegals in Aurora, Colorado Next

/0 Comments/in , /by

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is set to launch expanded, targeted operations in more major U.S. cities in the coming days, including Aurora, Colorado, according to reports.

For one of its next efforts, ICE is preparing to step up its presence in Aurora after focusing on Chicago and New York City, according to NBC News.

Aurora has become a central location in the fight against the dangerous Venezuelan street gang named Tren de Argua after gang members had taken over several Aurora apartment complexes and forced residents to pay their rent to the gang instead of to the owners of the buildings.

Tren de Argua exploded in size in the U.S. after Joe Biden began accepting waves of Venezuelans without any vetting, allowing untold thousands of gang members to flood the country.

The situation became so blatant in Aurora that armed gang members were seen in a viral video rampaging through the hallways of the complexes and intimidating residents. (Read more from “ICE to Target Illegals in Aurora, Colorado Next” HERE)

Border Agents Report Stunning New Numbers on Illegal Crossings in Just Second Week of Presidency; Dr. Phil Teams Up with Tom Homan, ICE for High-Stakes Takedown of Criminal Illegal Aliens

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. Less than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday – a stunningly low number since President Donald Trump took office.

Sources tell Fox News that not a single one of the nine sectors received more than 200 crossings on Jan. 26, and the number of daily encounters only reached 582 in total. The Del Rio sector – which is the same sector that would sustain over 4,000 crossings per day during the height of the border crisis in December 2023 – only recorded 60 crossings.

For comparison, the daily number of border encounters during the final days of the Biden White House teetered between 1,200 to 1,400 per day.

The numbers have fallen even further since Jan. 20, and a Fox News Digital exclusive last week found that the numbers dropped sharply. (Read more from “Border Agents Report Stunning New Numbers on Illegal Crossings in Just Second Week of Presidency” HERE)

Dr. Phil Teams Up with Tom Homan, ICE for High-Stakes Takedown of Criminal Illegal Aliens

By Townhall. Dr. Phil McGraw’s cameras were rolling this week as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launched a controversial operation targeting illegal immigrants in one of the United State’s biggest sanctuary cities. The former doctor TV host joined President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, to carry out deportation efforts in Chicago, where he filmed several arrests, including interrogating a convicted child-sex offender who tried to defend himself being in the U.S. illegally.

“These are known criminals and terrorists. We’re talking about murderers, child traffickers, child rapists. We’re talking about bad actors, both in the countries they’ve come from and since they’ve been here in the United States,” McGraw said as ICE agents carried out Trump’s border orders.

In one scene, McGraw asked the convicted sex offender and internet predator from Thailand, who had been illegally residing in Chicago, if he had been charged with sex crimes with children. In response, the illegal immigrant brushed off the question, saying, “Not really.”

“Not really!?” McGraw shockingly replied.

The illegal alien insisted he had never been deported and that his mother was a U.S. citizen. He recognized McGraw from his television show and frequently dodged the famous psychologist’s questions.

Vance Clashes With CBS Host During Fiery Debate Over Refugee Program Paused by President Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President JD Vance clashed with CBS host Margaret Brennan Sunday morning when the Republican defended President Trump’s decision to halt a refugee program that quickly barred hundreds of Afghans from reaching the US last week.

Vance tore into Brennan during a sit-down interview on “Face the Nation,” arguing the vetting process refugees currently undergo is not thorough enough and that his “primary concern as the vice president is to look after the American people.”

Brennan asked whether Afghan refugees, including some who worked with the US government, should be allowed in the country, and pointed out Vance said last year he doesn’t think the country “should abandon anybody who’s been properly vetted and helped us.”

But Vance was quick to insist he doesn’t think all the refugees have been vetted the right way.

“And now that we know that we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country,” the veep added.

Mexico Refuses to Accept U.S. Deportation Flight as Trump’s Immigration Overhaul Gets Into Full Swing

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Mexico refused to allow a plane carrying illegal migrants to land in the country on Thursday after President Trump dramatically beefed up security at the border and ordered mass raids and deportations since reclaiming the White House, according to military officials.

The deportation flight was blocked from leaving the US after two Air Force C-17 flights, each carrying about 80 deportees to Guatemala, successfully took off Thursday night, NBC reported, citing two defense officials and a third person familiar with the situation.

It was not immediately clear why Mexico blocked the plane, but tensions have flared between Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum since he threatened to slap 25% tariffs on Mexican goods in response to migrants illegally crossing the border.

A White House official told the outlet via text message that “the flights thing was an administrative issue and was quickly rectified.”

The flight rejection appeared to be confusion over the Department of Defense flight manifest, according to Fox News’ Bill Melugin, who cited a senior State Department official.

‘Biden Forever’: Illegal Haitian Yells for Joe, Obama as ICE Officers Shove Him Into Squad Car

/1 Comment/in , /by

An illegal Haitian migrant openly praised former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden as Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested him in Boston, Massachusetts, for his alleged involvement with a gang.

President Donald Trump’s administration is ramping up its efforts to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, particularly those with lengthy criminal records, and reversed a Biden-era policy that barred Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) from making arrests in schools, churches and other “sensitive locations.” The Haitian migrant who praised Obama and Biden is a gang member with 17 criminal convictions in recent years, Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported Thursday.

“I’m not going back to Haiti,” the man said. “F*ck Trump! You feel me? Yo, Biden forever, bro! Thank Obama for everything he did for me, bro!”

ICE Boston officers confirmed their plan to arrest “extremely violent offenders” in the area and several illegal migrants considered to be threats, including an MS-13 member wanted in El Salvador for aggravated murder, Melugin reported. Officials made eight notable arrests, including an illegal Brazilian national who was wanted for armed robbery, an El Salvadoran national charged locally for rape and an illegal migrant from the Dominican Republic who is charged with deadly assault with a deadly weapon and heroine trafficking.

Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman said in a Tuesday statement that the reversal of Biden’s programs allows for ICE agents to arrest “criminal aliens,” including rapists and murderers. The current administration reversed another Biden-era policy that allowed for humanitarian parole, which Huffman said allowed “1.5 million migrants to enter our country.” (Read more from “‘Biden Forever’: Illegal Haitian Yells for Joe, Obama as ICE Officers Shove Him Into Squad Car” HERE)

Trump Admin Deals Fatal Blow to Massive Refugee Flights

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has cancelled all flights on refugees who were slated to enter the United States in the coming days, according to an internal memo obtained by CNN.

Refugees already approved to travel into the U.S. before a White House-imposed deadline suspending resettlement had their flight plans canceled anyway, according to a State Department memo given to resettlement partners and obtained by CNN. The flight cancellations are among the many actions the Trump administration has implemented to tighten immigration and shore up border security.

The flight cancellations are among the many actions the Trump administration has implemented to tighten immigration and shore up border security.

In his executive order announcement, Trump highlighted the plight of small towns like Springfield, Ohio, and Charleroi, Pennsylvania, that have dealt with incredible logistical and infrastructure challenges due to the large influx of refugees. The president also noted that other major jurisdictions, like New York City and Massachusetts, have declared emergencies due to the weight of their migrant populations.

Four GOP States Sue to Stop Federal Government From Counting Illegals in Census

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of attorneys general are suing to stop illegal immigrants from diluting the voting power of American citizens.

Attorneys general from Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, and West Virginia filed a lawsuit on Sunday to stop the Census Bureau from counting illegal immigrants in the census, which is used to apportion congressional seats and electoral votes. The suit alleges that then-President Joe Biden’s administration instructed the bureau to count illegal immigrants in the 2020 census and as a result, Ohio and West Virginia each lost a congressional seat and an electoral vote.

President Donald Trump signed a memo in July of 2020 that barred illegal immigrants to be counted in the census, but former President Joe Biden later reversed the policy. The size of a state’s population affects the number of congressional seats and electoral votes they have.

“After the 2020 Census, [Defendants] included illegal aliens and aliens holding temporary visas … in the census figures used for determining the apportionment of the House of Representatives and Electoral College votes,” the suit reads. “Due to this unlawful decision … Ohio lost one congressional seat and one electoral vote in the reapportionment conducted pursuant to the 2020 Census.”

The suit alleges, in part, that including illegal immigrants in the census robs citizens “of their rightful share of political representation, while systematically redistributing political power to states with high numbers of illegal aliens and nonimmigrant aliens” in violation of the 14th Amendment “and the constitutional principle of equal representation.” (Read more from “Four GOP States Sue to Stop Federal Government From Counting Illegals in Census” HERE)

Man Detained With Blowtorch Near Wildfire ID’d as Illegal Alien, Not Charged With Arson: Report

/1 Comment/in , /by

The man with a blowtorch who was arrested last week in the Los Angeles area, where a number of wildfires have wreaked havoc over the past several days, is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, according to a new report.

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared new details in a post to X on Sunday evening, noting that he got his information from insiders from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“Per ICE sources, the man seen in a viral video being subdued by residents & arrested by police w/ a blowtorch near the #KennethFire in West Hills is an illegal alien from Mexico named Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva. He is in custody on a probation violation & has NOT been charged w/ arson,” Melugin said.

“I’m told ICE will place a detainer request on him with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, but they do not expect it to be honored due to California’s Sanctuary State law,” Melugin added. “I’m told Sierra-Leyva will have a court appearance tomorrow. Again — he has not been charged w/ arson and is in custody only on a probation violation at the moment, as multiple agencies have been interviewing him.” (Read more from “Man Detained With Blowtorch Near Wildfire ID’d as Illegal Alien, Not Charged With Arson: Report” HERE)

‘This Policy Is Dangerous’: Democrats Fight To Roll Back City’s Sanctuary Law, Help Trump Deport Criminals

/2 Comments/in , /by

A pair of Chicago aldermen have introduced legislation that would roll back the city’s sanctuary law currently forbidding any cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, but their efforts face stiff odds in a city council dominated by liberal members.

Raymond Lopez and Silvana Tabares, both Democrats, filed a proposed amendment to Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance, which calls for exceptions when a migrant has been arrested or convicted of certain criminal activities. The aldermen argued in a public statement that it’s in the best interest of the city’s immigrant community to work with the incoming Trump administration in situations where wanted illegal migrants are involved in heinous crimes.

“We believe that the best way to protect law-abiding non-citizens from the returning Trump Administration is by working with them in apprehending their priority targets: non-citizens that CHOOSE to engage in dangerous, illegal activity once they are in the United States,” Lopez said in a public statement. “Our current [Welcoming City Ordinance] prohibits any coordination or cooperation, even in the most heinous situations.”

“This policy is dangerous to those law-abiding undocumented and non-citizens residents because, if someone is arrested or convicted of crimes, the federal authorities aren’t notified,” he continued. “Should the federal government go looking for those specific individuals seeking to deport them, there is a high probability that other targets, law-abiding undocumented and non-citizen residents, may be apprehended and deported as collateral damage. That is an entirely unacceptable yet avoidable situation.” (Read more from “‘This Policy Is Dangerous’: Democrats Fight To Roll Back City’s Sanctuary Law, Help Trump Deport Criminals” HERE)

Joe Biden’s Border Chief Grants Amnesty to 850,000 Migrants

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief has extended temporary amnesty for 850,000 illegal and quasi-legal economic migrants until 2026, further suppressing American wages and spiking their rents.

The 18-month expansion of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty was announced by outgoing border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.

The beneficiaries include 234,000 illegal migrants from El Salvador who first got their TPS status after a 2001 earthquake that wrecked their home nation’s economy. The small nation’s economy is now growing amid the successful suppression of gang crime by the nation’s popular President, Nayib Bukele.

So Mayorkas’s press statement blamed bad weather for his refusal to send the economic migrants back home:

El Salvador’s extension of TPS is based on geological and weather events, including significant storms and heavy rainfall in 2023 and 2024, that continue to affect areas heavily impacted by the earthquakes in 2001.
