Trump Deportations

Blurb:

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is using several tools to pressure illegal aliens to self-deport from the United States, including via their pocketbooks.

DHS officials revealed exclusively to Breitbart News that the agency has issued more than 31,600 fine notices to illegal aliens, totaling more than $9.6 billion.

“Our message is clear: If you’re in the country illegally, leave now or face the consequences,” DHS’s Tricia McLaughlin told Breitbart News.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals cleared the way Monday for President Donald Trump to mobilize the National Guard to protect federal buildings in Portland.

A three-judge panel ruled 2-1 to reverse a federal district court ruling that prevented Trump from deploying National Guard troops in the state. The ruling allows the deployment to continue while the case moves forward in the courts.

The majority of the panel agreed with the Trump administration that the threat from protesters to federal facilities could not be addressed by existing law enforcement.

ICE agents arrested a Chicago area police officer Thursday, accusing him of living illegally in the United States for over a decade.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Hanover Park Police Officer Radule Bojovic overstayed a B-2 tourist visa that required him to depart the U.S. on March 31, 2015. “Over a decade later, he was still illegally in the U.S.,” DHS stated in a press release. Hanover Park is a suburb of Chicago with a population of over 37,000 people.

“The first thing they put out to reopen the government actually turned that money for health care benefits for illegal aliens back on,” Vance said earlier in October.

The White House on Monday released a list of criminal illegal immigrants who reportedly received Medicaid benefits while living in the United States. The post, shared on the administration’s official account, included mugshots of offenders and noted the crimes for which they were arrested, along with the label “Received Medicaid.”

Ian Andre Roberts, the illegal alien ineligible for employment in the U.S. but hired in Iowa as superintendent at the Des Moines School District, is a registered Maryland voter.

By law, only U.S. citizens are allowed to register to vote in U.S. elections, but an election watchdog group, the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), looked into voter registration in states where Roberts previously lived and found he registered to vote as a Democrat twice, once in 2011 and again in 2016.

It raises questions about how many other illegal aliens or otherwise ineligible people have successfully registered to vote. As AAF president Tom Jones told Fox 45, “We can’t rely on the honor system to hope that illegal aliens won’t lie to us.”

Key Takeaways

  • 22 U.S. states provide in-state tuition for illegal immigrant students, with 18 of these states also offering additional financial aid, despite federal restrictions established by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
  • The Trump administration has challenged these state policies via lawsuits, citing the need to enforce existing laws prohibiting residency-related benefits for illegal immigrants.
  • Critics of the legal challenges claim that denying in-state tuition undermines state economies and education systems, as it restricts access to affordable education for a significant number of students.

Pope Leo XIV is being lobbied by Catholic bishops and nuns to endorse more migration flows, regardless of the vast civic and economic damage inflicted on citizens, Western societies, and the migrants’ home countries.

So far, the Pope is responding with generalities without detailed policy implications or direct opposition to Trump’s popular deportation of illegal migrants,

“In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world’s South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church,” the Pope declared on October 5.

“Often [migrants] maintain their strength while seeking a better future, in spite of the obstacles that they encounter,” Leo said Oct. 2 in a meeting with Catholic migration advocates.

“You can read into [his comments] what you want when it comes to specifics of government policy, responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors lower levels of migration into Americans’ society.

The mistake that people — both in and outside the Catholic Church or any other church, — is that they imagine that the lessons of the Gospel and of the Fathers of the Church are somehow a 10-Point white paper on how we should run [immigration] policy. In fact they [provide] general rules about how to think about these questions, and different people will come to different conclusions.

Illegal” vs. “Undocumented”: A NWIRP Board Member's Perspective ...

A Harvard Caps/Harris Poll has revealed 56 percent of Americans support deporting ALL illegal aliens, regardless of their criminal record, and 78% support deporting illegals who have a criminal record. This shows Americans’ support for ICE is only growing after weeks of images of ICE agents arresting illegal aliens, including at their places of work.

Nearly 80 percent of Americans favor the deportation of immigrants who are in the United States illegally and have committed crimes, and a clear majority favor deporting all immigrants who are here illegally, according to a new poll.

President Trump’s policy of deporting criminal illegal aliens is his second most popular policy according to the Harvard Caps/Harris poll, just under lowering prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients and low income patients.

The survey was conducted online within the United States on October 1-2, amid loud and often violent left-wing protests outside of ICE facilities in cities like Portland and Chicago.

The vast majority of respondents—78 percent—said they favored “deporting immigrants who are here illegally and have committed crimes.” Even among Democrats, 69 percent said they favored the policy, while 77 percent of independents and  87 percent of Republicans do.

“Deporting all immigrants who are here illegally” garnered 56 percent support among all respondents.

FBI Director Kash Patel warns of 110,000 gang members roaming the streets of Chicago. (Screenshot: Fox News)

After a visit to the city on Tuesday, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that over 110,000 gang members are currently roaming the streets of Chicago, a city long plagued by corruption, lawlessness, and political cowardice.

That means roughly 4% of Chicago’s 2.7 million residents are active gang members, about one gang member for every 24 people living in the city.

“We learned that the Chicago city streets have 110,000 gang members. That’s right. You heard me right. They had 1,200 shootings this year alone, 360 homicides,” Patel said during an interview with Hannity.

Patel’s statement paints a chilling picture of a city spiraling out of control under liberal policies that prioritize optics over safety. Despite decades of Democrat rule, Chicago continues to be one of the most dangerous cities in America.

In his remarks, Patel credited President Donald Trump for empowering federal law enforcement to act decisively where local leaders have failed:

Excerpt:

Fully embracing anarchy, Democrat leaders in Chicago, a sanctuary city; and in Illinois, a sanctuary state, are using every possible method to thwart federal immigration authorities from removing illegal aliens and curtailing rampant crime there.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order Monday creating an ICE Free Zone, preventing ICE from using city property, such as parking lots, as staging areas, or for enforcement actions. City agencies are directed to use physical barriers like locked gates to limit access to city property, and report to the mayor any attempted use of city property for immigration enforcement. Chicago taxpayers will fund a city-wide distribution of “Know Your Rights” materials for employees, tenants, and security staff, training them to deal with federal agents wishing to use city property.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced the state filed a lawsuit Monday seeking a temporary restraining order to block President Donald Trump from using Illinois and Texas National Guard troops to manage crime in Chicago.

“Illinois is going to use every lever at our disposal to resist this power grab and get (DHS Sec. Kristi) Noem’s thugs hell out of Chicago,” Pritzker said in a Monday afternoon press conference. He also said several times that Texas troops should, “stay the hell out of Illinois.”

Over the weekend, Oct. 4, Border Patrol agents were conducting a patrol in Chicago when their vehicle was rammed by other vehicles and they were boxed in by 10 cars, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statement.

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump has finally named the enemy: Mexican drug cartels. Declaring them unlawful combatants and recognizing a “non-international armed conflict” marks one of the most consequential national security shifts in modern history.

For decades, Washington treated cartel violence as a crime — a problem for prosecutors, not generals. Indictments were filed, assets seized, and sanctions imposed. But the cartels fought a different kind of war, one that combined terror, intelligence, and territorial control. Calling it “crime” guaranteed defeat.

We refused to define the cartels as belligerents — and fought the wrong fight.

According to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, Mexico ranks among the world’s most violent conflict zones — behind only Palestine, Myanmar, and Syria. It is also the second-most dangerous country for civilians. Those numbers are not from a failed state overseas. They come from our southern border, where cartel wars spill into American communities daily.

New Jersey Democrat gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) vowed Monday to take President Donald Trump to court if his administration sends National Guard troops to the Garden State to crack down on crime.

Sherrill, who represents New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, made the comments during a Univision 41 Nueva York town hall.

She was asked by an audience member what she would do if Trump deployed federal troops to tackle crime.

The man who asked the question said his family had fled Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime.

Sherrill promised an immediate legal fight.

“American troops should not be on the streets of our country,” Sherrill said.

 

Chicago mayor creates ‘ICE-free zones’ meant to impede federal agents — White House fires off brutal response– www.theblaze.com

Excerpt:

 

The Democratic mayor of Chicago is trying to shut down deportation operations by creating “ICE-free zones,” but the White House doesn’t appear to respect the decision much.

Mayor Brandon Johnson made the announcement establishing the zones in a media briefing Monday. The Trump administration has put Chicago and its sanctuary-city policies in its crosshairs.

‘This is SICK. He is aiding and abetting criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, traffickers, and gang bangers.’

“Today we are signing an executive order aimed at reining in this out-of-control administration,” Johnson said. “The order establishes ICE-free zones. That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids.”

He went on to say that the city would take further steps to stop federal operations if Immigration and Customs Enforcement escalated its efforts.

White House Notches Significant Court Victory On ‘Sanctuary City’ Funding– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

A federal judge in Massachusetts denied a request for an injunction sought by two “sanctuary cities” in the state — Chelsea and Somerville — that sought to bar the Trump Administration from withholding federal funds due to their support for illegal aliens.

Somerville and Chelsea had requested a preliminary injunction in June, arguing that the targeting of cities and towns over their “sanctuary” policies — which openly defy federal immigration law by barring local authorities from working with immigration agents — is unconstitutional and at odds with advice from local law enforcement, according to a report from the Boston Herald.

The cities have also claimed that if the federal government withheld funds while their legal challenges were ongoing, there would be “irreparable harm” to municipal services.

U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton indicated that he was not buying those arguments when he denied the request for an injunction on Friday. In his Judge Gorton noted that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “has not frozen any particular funding, denied any grant application or withheld any reimbursement from plaintiffs.”

“They were saying that they were being surrounded by that large crowd and they were requesting the police and we’re not sending?”

Chicago police officers were ordered to withdraw from the scene of a violent confrontation involving federal agents on Saturday, after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in the city turned chaotic.

According to CWB Chicago, the incident began around 10:30 am when a woman called 911, reporting that an ICE agent had shot her in the 3900 block of South Kedzie Avenue. Chicago officers initially responded, but federal agents on scene said the woman was armed and part of a caravan attempting to obstruct ICE operations.

The woman, identified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as 32-year-old Marimar Martinez, suffered gunshot wounds to her legs, arm, and chest and was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital. DHS said Martinez “was armed with a semi-automatic weapon and has a history of doxxing federal agents.” The agency added that she “took defensive fire from CBP agents” and has since been released from the hospital and taken into FBI custody.

Illegal Alien Running Des Moines School Had Long Rap Sheet– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released new criminal information in the case of Ian Andre Roberts, the illegal alien hired as superintendent to lead the K-12 Des Moines Independent Community School District.

The criminal history calls into question how he passed an employment background check to work in a school. The district brought a lawsuit Friday against the firm that vetted Roberts, but this employment is not all on one company. Board members should have done their due diligence, personally examined his background, and had more interaction with him.

Democrats have been protesting his removal, but as The Federalist’s Executive Editor Joy Pullman recently wrote, “He’s the inevitable product of a system the Left has built for rewarding people for pushing hateful, un-American ideology at public expense and punishing excellence.”

Roberts has been in the U.S. 29 years, and in that time he has been convicted of reckless driving and unlawful possession of a loaded firearm. He was also charged in separate incidents with criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of a forgery instrument, unauthorized use of a vehicle, criminal possession of a firearm, and most recently, being an illegal alien in possession of firearms, according to DHS.

The U.S. Supreme Court gave the Trump administration a win against mass amnesty as ICE Chicago topped more than 1000 arrests of illegal aliens in one of the most challenging and crime-infested sanctuary cities in America.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem came to Chicago to oversee enforcement action and its results as Operation Midway Blitz there continues at full force, despite resistance from state and local Democrat politicians. The arrested illegal aliens that Democrats are bewailing include pedophiles, kidnappers, gang members, child abusers, and armed robbers, according to a DHS press release.

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin proudly highlighted the new numbers. “During Operation Midway Blitz, our brave DHS law enforcement has made more than 1,000 arrests across Illinois including of pedophiles, child abusers, kidnappers, gang members, and armed robbers,” she stated. “Our patriotic law enforcement officers are making these arrests despite working without pay because of the Democrats’ shutdown. President Trump and Secretary Noem will not allow continued violence or repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods and victimize our children. Operation Midway Blitz is making Illinois safe again.”

Among the arrestees are Mexican illegals Rafael Alberto Tolentino Martinez, previously convicted of aggravated domestic battery of a three-year-old, and Marco Geronimo Ocampo, arrested before this for domestic battery, armed

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said officials blocked her and her team from entering an Illinois municipal building Friday for a bathroom break.

The secretary took to X to describe the incident at the Village of Broadview Municipal Building. “My team and I were just blocked from accessing the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois. We were stopping for a quick bathroom break. This is a public building. The Village of Broadview receives at least $1 million in federal funding every year,” Noem posted.

The secretary called the incident “absolutely shameful” and blamed Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and “his cronies” for how they treat law enforcement. (RELATED: ‘These Networks Are So Sold Out’: Noem Slams NBC After False ICE Report On 5-Year-Old)

Excerpt:

The US Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Trump to end the Biden-era protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.

The decision was 6-3. All three liberal justices dissented.

Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fumed in her dissent. “I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent,” Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote. “We once again use our equitable power (but not our opinion-writing capacity) to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible,” Jackson added.

NBC reported:

The Supreme Court on Friday paved the way for the Trump administration to revoke temporary legal status for up to 600,000 Venezuelan immigrants, meaning some could ultimately be deported.

The court granted an emergency request filed by the Trump administration seeking to block a judge’s ruling that said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem failed to follow the correct process in revoking Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans.

The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, in May granted an earlier emergency request filed by the Trump administration in the same case.

The latest filing came after California-based U.S. District Judge Edward Chen on Sept. 5 again ruled against the administration, this time in the form of a final decision rather than a preliminary one.

The secretary added that U.S. intelligence confirmed “without a doubt” that the vessel “was trafficking narcotics, the people onboard were narco-terrorists, and they were operating on a known narco-trafficking transit route,” though he did not provide details of that evidence.

US District Judge Karin Immergut held an emergency hearing Sunday evening after President Trump circumvented her previous order halting troop deployment to Portland.

Last weekend, President Trump authorized troops to Portland, Oregon, and other Democrat-run cities to protect ICE agents from Antifa terrorists and other radical far-left groups.

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump previously said on Truth Social.

Right on cue, Democrat-run Oregon sued the Trump Administration to stop the deployment of troops.

Judge Immergut, on Saturday, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland.

It has come to light that the state of New York recently issued a commercial driver’s license to a migrant and didn’t even require him to provide a first (or middle) name. The CDL read “No Name Given” in place of the name(s).

The nearly nameless “identification” was discovered during a raid in Oklahoma that also identified 125 illegal immigrants. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt’s office released a statement reading: “During the operation, OHP (Oklahoma Highway Patrol) encountered numerous commercial truck drivers operating with licenses issued by sanctuary states, including one license listing ‘No Name Given.’”

The statement added: “These individuals posed a public safety risk by operating 80,000-pound commercial vehicles without proper verification.”

The New York Department of Motor Vehicles subsequently confirmed that the license was indeed real. New York DMV spokesman Walter McLure also issued a statement in which he noted, “It is not uncommon for individuals from other countries to have only one name.”

Federal immigration officers came under violent attack from armed leftists in suburban Chicago, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said on X that agents in Broadview were “rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars” during routine patrols on Saturday.

Unable to move, the agents exited their vehicles and encountered one of the drivers armed with a semi-automatic weapon.

“Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots,” McLaughlin said.

The armed driver was identified in a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intelligence bulletin just last week for allegedly doxxing agents online and inciting violence against them.

The driver was wounded and transported to a hospital.

McLaughlin stressed that no federal officers were seriously injured in the ambush.
