Trump Reforms Cut Legal Immigration by 50 percent

The number of migrants approved for citizenship dropped by roughly 50 percent amid the pro-America review process set by Donald Trump’s agents at the Department of Homeland Security.

The reduced inflow of migrants will pressure companies to raise wages and increase investment in productivity-boosting workplace technology. The decline will also cut housing costs, helping Americans to get married and raise kids.

There were big fluctuations in applications for naturalization during 2025, yet overall, there was a steep drop in citizenship requests compared to 2024, which was Biden’s final year in office, according to the latest data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), NPR reported.

“During the first few months of Trump’s second term, the administration approved a record-high number of naturalizations. At the peak of 2025, 88,488 applications were approved in one month — the largest number since USCIS began tracking month-by-month naturalization data in 2022,” NPR added.

However, by January of this year, that number fell to only 32,862, which is the lowest number USCIS ever tracked.

Prosecutors Offer ‘Insane’ Plea Deal to Illegal Aliens Convicted of Murder

Prosecutors in Fairfax County, Virginia, offered an “insane” plea deal to two illegal aliens charged in a vicious mob-style murder, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials say.

Last week, the Fairfax County District Attorney’s Office offered a 5-year plea deal to illegal aliens Maldin Anibal Guzman-Videz and Luis Alonzo Sort-Portillo, both of whom were convicted of murdering Nicacio Hernandez Gonzalez in July 2024 at a park in Oakton, Virginia.

“This 5-year sweetheart plea deal for murder is insane,” DHS’s Lauren Bis said:

This is yet another example of Fairfax sanctuary politicians siding with criminal illegal aliens over U.S. citizens. We are calling on Fairfax Country sanctuary politicians and Governor Abigail Spanberger to commit to not releasing these murderers from jail back into our communities. How many more times must they release criminals into our neighborhoods to create more innocent victims?

A federal immigration judge ordered Guzman-Videz deported in 2019, but he remained in the United States anyway. He was later arrested for assault, failure to appear, larceny, obstruction of justice, and malicious wounding after he allegedly robbed a Greek family restaurant and assaulted a person with a knife.

Illegal Migrant Accused of Executing Loyola Student Sheridan Gorman was Cut Loose Twice under Biden: DHS

An illegal Venezuelan migrant accused of executing a Loyola University Chicago freshman from New York entered the US under the Biden administration, and was released under Chicago’s sanctuary city laws before the killing, the Department of Homeland Security said Sunday.

Jose Medina-Medina, 25, allegedly murdered 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman early Thursday morning while she walked along the Chicago lakefront with her friends, according to a DHS release obtained by Fox News.

The illegal alien was caught and released at the border under President Joe Biden’s administration in May 2023, according to the DHS.

Medina-Medina was also previously released from local custody in Chicago— a sanctuary city — just a month later after he was arrested for shoplifting from Macy’s.

The gunman approached Gorman, a freshman from Yorktown, New York, while wearing a mask at around 1:30 a.m., according to cops. (Read more from “Illegal Migrant Accused of Executing Loyola Student Sheridan Gorman was Cut Loose Twice under Biden: DHS” HERE)

FBI: Illegal Alien Voted In 5 Presidential Elections After He Was Supposed To Be Deported

A noncitizen illegally present in the U.S. allegedly cast ballots in five presidential elections and falsely claimed to be a citizen when registering to vote, according to a document recently filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

An affidavit by FBI Special Agent Mickel McGann reveals that Mauritanian national Mahady Sacko was ordered to be deported in 2000. Since this removal order, however, records show Sacko voted in general elections in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020, as well as the 2024 election for federal office, McGann said. Sacko also voted in the 2016 and 2020 primaries and, on each of the seven occasions, “falsely represented that he was a U.S. citizen,” according to the affidavit.

McGann detailed records suggesting that Sacko illegally registered to vote multiple times in Pennsylvania, despite his noncitizen status. In 2006, 2012, and 2016, for example, Sacko appears to have registered via a “voter registration drive.” In 2008, 2016, and 2019, he allegedly registered to vote through the state’s Department of Transportation. In 2006, 2012, 2016, and 2020, he “falsely” identified himself as a U.S. Citizen on “registration application[s],” according to the affidavit. Sacko also registered to vote in October 2020 and “prior to the 2024 election,” according to the affidavit. A report by the Philadelphia Inquirer stated, “Voting records show that Sacko registered as a Democrat, though the affidavit does not specify which candidates he supported in the elections” he allegedly voted in.

McGann said he compared all the signatures for “Mahady Sacko” on the voter registration records pictured in the affidavit, concluding that they “appear consistent.” He also concluded there is “probable cause” to believe that Sacko violated federal law.

United States law stipulates that “any person who ‘knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process, by . . . casting ballots that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held’ shall be fined or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both,” the affidavit stated.

Sanctuary California: Illegal Alien Hit with More Child Rape Charges After Allegedly Murdering 13-Year-Old Boy

An illegal alien accused of raping and murdering 13-year-old Oscar Hernandez last year in the sanctuary state of California has been hit with additional child rape charges involving two other teen boys.

Last year, as Breitbart News reported, 44-year-old illegal alien Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino of El Salvador was arrested and charged by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office with raping Hernandez and then murdering him, leaving his body on the side of a road in Ventura County, California.

Hernandez was first reported missing by his family on March 28 after he had taken a train to Lancaster, California, to visit Garcia-Aquino, a youth soccer coach to young boys. Police allege that Garcia-Aquino murdered Hernandez while raping him before dumping his body.

Now, Garcia-Aquino is facing nine additional child sexual abuse charges — eight counts of sodomy of a person under 16 and one count of oral copulation of a person under 16.

Garcia-Aquino had been charged with sexually assaulting a teenage boy in December 2022 and was charged again in a separate case in February 2024 for sexually assaulting another teenage boy.

What Democrats Aren’t Saying About Their Judicial Warrant Demands For ICE

Democrats are demanding federal agents obtain judicial warrants before arresting illegals on private property, a move experts liken to a Trojan horse that would weaken American immigration enforcement for years to come.

Judicial warrants have become a flashpoint in immigration enforcement, with sanctuary jurisdictions increasingly claiming that administrative warrants are not enough and a judge’s signature should be a prerequisite to any type of cooperation. Capitol Hill Democrats have seized on the issue, threatening to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) if judicial warrants — along with body cameras and uniform requirements — aren’t mandated for personnel on the ground.

“Requiring a judicial warrant for every ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] arrest would severely weaken the agency’s ability to enforce the law, and it would overwhelm the courts, which is likely what anti-ICE advocates in Congress are attempting to accomplish,” Tony Pham, who previously served as acting ICE director during the final months of the first Trump administration, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The chances of Republicans adopting Democrat demands to curtail Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are basically nil, a Republican staffer involved in the negotiations told the DCNF, describing the demands as non-starters.

The demand for judicial warrants among the left reached a fever pitch after the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti amid anti-ICE protests in January. The incidents sparked Democrats like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to equate immigration enforcement to Nazism and prompted party members in Washington, D.C., to threaten a DHS shutdown unless a list of reforms are met.

‘A Good Way To Destroy Your Country’: Joe Rogan Comes Down Hard Against Democrats’ Policy On Illegals

Podcast host Joe Rogan said Tuesday that Democratic immigration policies fuel crime and political manipulation.

In an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan said the United States can recognize its immigrant roots and still enforce borders. He rejected the idea that compassion requires an open-door approach and insisted that any country must vet who enters.

“The whole thing is tough now because we’re a country that’s established by immigrants, but you can’t have an open border. You can’t just have anybody come through because there’s going to be a bunch of criminals that come through, and you don’t want that. You don’t want your country to be more crime infested,” Rogan said. “You don’t want your country to have murderers and cartel members just coming into the country and now getting citizenship and being able to vote and organizing, and that’s crazy. That’s a good way to destroy your country.”

Rogan said Democrats have turned illegal immigration into a political weapon, adding that mass illegal entry overwhelms cities, weakens enforcement, and serves partisan goals rather than public safety.

“When you just let everybody in, and you let in 10 million people, and how do you — unless they get arrested while they’re here — what do you do? And even then, like a lot of them during the Biden administration, they were getting let go. In sanctuary cities [they would let] people go. It’s just crazy,” Rogan said. “Because they just want a bunch of people in these swing states for the census. So they get more congressional seats, and if they get these people and give them the ability to vote, now you have a built-in voter base. You can just rig the election.” (Read more from “‘A Good Way To Destroy Your Country’: Joe Rogan Comes Down Hard Against Democrats’ Policy On Illegals” HERE)

Big Win for Trump as Appeals Court Blocks Liberal Judges from Releasing Migrants

President Donald Trump’s lawyers scored big on Friday when a Texas-based appeals court allowed officials to hold arrested migrants in detention so their migration cases can be quickly decided.

“ENORMOUS Immigration win for President Trump,” said Eric Wessen, the Solicitor General in Iowa’s Attorney General’s Office. He added:

The Fifth Circuit, the first federal court to address President Trump’s expedited removal efforts, sides with the administration. Illegal aliens may be detained and removed!

The 2:1 decision “is a big deal,” said Ilya Shapiro, a lawyer at the Manhattan Institute.

“After reviewing carefully the relevant provisions and structure of the Immigration and Naturalization Act, the statutory history, and Congressional intent, we conclude that the government’s position is correct,” the three-judge court decided.

Poll: Likely 2026 Midterm Voters Support Deporting Illegal Aliens By 2:1 Margin

Nearly two-thirds of likely 2026 midterm election voters support deporting illegal aliens from the United States, a new poll released Monday shows.

In its latest survey of 1,004 likely 2026 voters, the political polling firm Cygnal found that respondents support removing illegal aliens from America and sending them back to their country of origin by a nearly 2:1 margin (61 to 34 percent). The poll also found strong support for ICE enforcement of federal immigration laws and agreement that illegally entering the United States is a violation of such laws.

“Voters see illegal immigration as a simple question of law and order,” Cygnal Founder and CEO Brent Buchanan said in a statement. “The data leaves no wiggle room. Americans want the law enforced, they want illegal immigrants removed, and they punish politicians who try to block ICE from doing its job.”

The survey was conducted from Jan. 27 to Jan. 28 and has a margin of error of 3.09 percent.

According to the Cygnal data, 73 percent of respondents agreed when asked if “individuals who have entered the United States without legal permission have broken the law,” compared with 22 percent who disagreed. The survey furthermore found that a majority (54 percent) support ICE “enforcing federal immigration laws to remove illegal immigrants from the U.S.” and oppose (58 percent) efforts to defund the agency — including majorities of swing voters.

Alex Pretti Appears to Spit at ICE, Kick Out Tail Light in Previous Minneapolis Confrontation Before He Was Shot by Border Patrol

Harrowing new footage shows Alex Pretti armed, spitting at federal immigration officers and smashing the taillights of their black SUV during a chaotic clash more than a week before he was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.

The video, which the BBC said it has verified, captured the ICU nurse yelling at agents while they were driving away during a heated Jan. 13 protest before booting the back of the car, prompting them to jump out and tackle him to the ground, according to footage from The News Movement.

The man — who was wearing similar clothing in the video to what Pretti had on when he was fatally shot last Saturday — was taken to the ground by at least five agents, who deployed tear gas into the whistle-blowing crowd during the wild confrontation.

The horde of agents continued to hold him down until he retreated and joined the raucous crowd in shouting at the agents — with a gun visibly tucked into the back of his pants.

Homeland Security Investigations is “reviewing” the newest footage of the 37-year-old’s apparent prior brush with federal agents, the Department of Homeland Security told The Post.
