Illegal Immigration

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller issued a clear directive Thursday following the arrest of an illegal immigrant involved in a fatal car crash that claimed the life of a 24-year-old woman in Colorado. Miller stated on X, “The entire family will be deported.”

The incident in question occurred in July 2023, when a 16-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia, driving without a license, struck and killed Kaitlyn Weaver while traveling at 90 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone.

Weaver, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, died at the scene, as reported by The Western Journal.

Last week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed the arrest of the Colombian teenager along with his family members, all of whom are also in the country illegally.

“The minor, who was convicted of reckless driving resulting in death, was arrested along with his family who are also illegal aliens,” ICE said in a statement.

Just one week prior to the ICE action, the minor had been sentenced to probation and community service, avoiding jail time despite the fatal nature of the incident.

The sentencing drew widespread public criticism and renewed calls for immigration enforcement reform, particularly concerning criminal cases involving illegal immigrants.

The case has become a flashpoint in the ongoing national debate over illegal immigration and public safety.

Conservative leaders have pointed to it as another example of how current policies can allow those in the country unlawfully to avoid significant legal consequences, even in cases involving the death of an American citizen.

This is not the first time such a case has prompted national attention. Critics have long argued that existing immigration enforcement mechanisms fail to address individuals who have committed serious offenses while in the United States illegally.

ICE has stated that enforcement priorities include illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes or pose a threat to public safety.

Stephen Miller, a longtime advocate for stricter immigration policies, has maintained that deportation should be the standard for all illegal immigrants, especially those involved in criminal acts.

In this case, the call to remove the entire family aligns with the Trump administration’s broader approach to immigration enforcement.

Weaver’s death has become a rallying point for immigration reform advocates who argue that more robust enforcement is necessary to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

As of now, ICE has not released the names of the individuals arrested or provided a timeline for removal proceedings.

Legal challenges targeting the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies continue to emerge, with funding for many of the lawsuits tracing back to organizations supported by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations.

Breitbart reporter John Binder has tracked the financial networks behind multiple lawsuits opposing President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda.

The latest legal battle involves a challenge to the Trump administration’s effort to deport violent illegal aliens to third countries, including South Sudan.

The administration began deporting individuals with final orders of removal to South Sudan earlier this year, citing the refusal of some home countries to accept individuals with criminal records.

Department of Homeland Security officials emphasized that the individuals deported had been convicted of violent crimes, including murder, rape, and child sex offenses.

“These were vicious illegal aliens,” DHS officials stated in a public release.

However, in March, the nonprofit Human Rights First joined two other organizations in filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration.

The lawsuit challenges DHS’s authority to deport illegal aliens to countries other than their nation of origin, arguing that such actions are unlawful without sufficient notice to the individuals affected.

Human Rights First has also filed litigation seeking to preserve immigration parole programs established under Joe Biden’s administration.

According to public records cited by Binder, the Soros-backed Open Society Foundations (OSF) has contributed nearly $6.2 million to Human Rights First.

In April, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, appointed by former President Biden to the District of Massachusetts, issued a preliminary injunction temporarily halting deportations to third countries without prior notice.

Judge Murphy’s order required the DHS to provide detained individuals with “credible fear interviews” before removing them to a country that is not their place of origin.

Since the ruling, the Trump administration has deported eight individuals with final removal orders to South Sudan.

All eight had criminal convictions, including for violent offenses such as murder and sexual assault.

Judge Murphy ruled that DHS had violated his earlier injunction and ordered the department to provide additional legal steps before proceeding with further deportations to South Sudan or similar third-country destinations.

Officials from South Sudan have voiced objections to receiving deportees with criminal histories, although there is no formal agreement barring the U.S. from conducting such deportations.

DHS has argued that removal to a third country is necessary in cases where an alien’s home country refuses repatriation, particularly when public safety is at risk.

The ongoing litigation underscores growing tensions between the Trump administration’s push for stricter immigration enforcement and legal challenges supported by left-leaning advocacy groups.

Many of those groups, including Human Rights First, have received substantial backing from the Soros network.

Critics of the lawsuits argue that efforts to block the removal of criminal aliens place American communities at risk and amount to judicial overreach.

The administration has signaled it will continue to pursue third-country deportation options when repatriation to an individual’s home nation is not feasible due to diplomatic or security obstacles.

The case remains active in federal court, with DHS expected to submit further documentation to comply with the judge’s orders.

Additional hearings may be scheduled as the administration continues to defend its enforcement authority.

White House Border Czar Tom Homan criticized Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver on Tuesday following her indictment for assaulting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during an incident at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the confrontation took place earlier this month and involved McIver and fellow Democratic Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman and Rob Menendez Jr., along with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.

The group forced their way into the ICE facility in an attempt to stop the detention of individuals suspected of being in the country illegally. Baraka was arrested during the incident.

Footage from the scene shows McIver in a red outfit repeatedly pushing and striking federal officers during the encounter. She was later charged with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with federal agents.

U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced the indictment on Monday evening, stating, “No one is above the law — politicians or otherwise.”

McIver responded to the charges on Tuesday, calling them “purely political” and accusing ICE agents of escalating the situation. “They created an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation when they chose to arrest Mayor Baraka,” she said in a public statement.

Rep. Watson Coleman also responded to the incident by launching into a profanity-laced tirade, claiming the situation stemmed from racial bias. “Bullsh*t!” she said when asked why the group stormed the facility, also invoking accusations of “White supremacy.”

Homan condemned the lawmakers’ behavior and rhetoric. “It’s disgusting,” he said.

“While these people are sitting home at night and sleeping in their beds nice and comfortably, the men and women of ICE are on the street, putting their lives on the line to arrest public safety threats and national security threats. She should be thanking them for making her community safer, rather than attacking them.”

Homan also commented on the Supreme Court’s recent 8-1 decision to lift a lower court’s injunction blocking President Trump’s order to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Venezuelan nationals.

The decision gives federal authorities the green light to begin large-scale removals.

“We’re going to have more deportations,” Homan said. “If they don’t have any status to be in the country, that means they need to be deported.”

The administration has pledged to move forward with enforcement, citing national security concerns and the need to uphold immigration law.

Denver, the liberal ‘sanctuary city’ of Colorado, is seeing a large drop in homicides following the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants by ICE under President Donald Trump.

Denver and other Colorado cities are now reporting a 60 percent reduction in homicides as deportation efforts continue.

Homicides Down 60% in Denver, Police Confirm

FOX 31 in Denver reports: Newly released report says homicides dropped nearly 60% in Denver in 2025.

Homicides are down nearly 60% in Denver so far this year, according to the newly released report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association.

It’s a significant drop from last year and one of the biggest declines in violent crime rates in the country.

“Violent crime is just about reducing in every city, but we were the city in which it had declined the most,” said Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas.

Thomas says he is proud to have that distinction, and it speaks to the hard work of his officers.

“We’ve been able to see these significant reductions in crime without over policing communities,” said Thomas.

“It’s one of the things we have understood was important and we need to be responsive, but we need to make sure we’re investing as much as we’re enforcing.”

Trump-Era ICE Enforcement is Working

Independent journalist Sara Carter commented:

“This marked decrease in violence comes after intensified immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, which had made the Denver metropolitan area a key focus for removals of criminal migrants.

ICE has acted swiftly, arresting 538 illegal aliens across multiple cities, including Denver. Shortly thereafter, the agency expanded its efforts in Colorado, zeroing in on members of Tren de Aragua.

Breitbart News reports that despite these federal initiatives, local Democratic leaders resisted cooperation with ICE.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Colorado Governor Jared Polis were among those who worked to oppose the administration’s actions, which prompted the Trump administration to initiate legal action against Denver and state officials for obstructing federal immigration enforcement.”

Media Silence

While the figures should be headline news, left-wing media outlets are downplaying the achievement.

After all, what could be worse for them than proving that Trump’s policies work?

Suspended Milwaukee County Circuit Judge charged with aiding an illegal immigrant, Hannah Dugan, has filed a petition to dismiss her case, citing extraordinary circumstances. 

A grand jury recently indicted the county judge for concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of justice. If convicted of the two charges, she faces up to six years in prison or a fine of up to $350,000.

“This is no ordinary case, and Dugan is no ordinary criminal defendant,” the petition stated.

It also makes outrageous claims that the government’s prosecution of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge was “virtually unprecedented and entirely unconstitutional” and “violates the Tenth Amendment and fundamental principles of federalism.”

Additionally, it claims that Judge Dugan is “entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts.” However, after entering her plea, Dugan refused to answer questions about whether she had judicial immunity.

I am not an attorney, but I believe the alleged obstruction occurred outside her official duty as she was not presiding over a case challenging the suspect’s detention due to his immigration status.  

Seemingly, the judge should have waited for a case challenging his detention and set him free by ruling in his favor, instead of injecting herself into a matter that was not before the court. 

Similarly, the judge is not responsible for escorting defendants out of the court through a non-public entry. If it were, she could have just ordered it through an official ruling.

Additionally, Dugan is a county judge and not a federal judge, suggesting that she did not have the authority to stop the arrest of an illegal immigrant by federal authorities. 

Meanwhile, several experts have weighed in on Judge Dugan’s motion to dismiss the charges. At the very least, she must go through a trial to dismiss the charges. 

“You can certainly disagree with her motivations, but that’s not something that a judge can just assume without a trial. So my assumption is that the motion to dismiss today will be indeed turned down by the court,” tweeted George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley.

University of Wisconsin professor Howard Schweber also says that while judicial immunity exists for judicial rulings, it is nonexistent for administrative actions, such as who can be in the courtroom.

However, liberal NYT’s David Brooks said that while escorting a defendant through the jury door looks like “something illegal,” it could be heroic in times of civil disobedience.

Nonetheless, Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley said the judge was not above the law and should be prosecuted to the fullest.

“Let every other judge and member of Congress out there take a lesson from this. You are not above the law.”

On Thursday, Judge Dugan entered a “not guilty” plea on the same grounds, with her team asserting her innocence and determination to fight the charges. Her case was assigned to an 85-year-old Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman.

Meanwhile, leftwing protesters gathered outside the court during her arraignment, holding signs displaying various messages, such as “No Justice, No Peace,” “Stop Judicial Intimidation,” “STOP THE COUP,” “Intimidation is a tool of Fascism,” and “Show me what democracy looks like.”

President Donald Trump suggested Monday (May 5) that the historical island prison of Alcatraz should be rebuilt and reopened to house some of America’s most serious criminals.

“REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering,” Trump wrote on X mid-morning Monday.

“When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders,” he continued. “We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Alcatraz is famously located in the San Francisco Bay and once housed America’s most notorious criminals. Many of our modern day monsters now freely roam the streets of San Francisco. While many posts try to claim crime in the Bay Area has decreased significantly in recent years, this is untrue. California’s largely Soros-funded politicians have simply relegated many violent crimes to misdemeanors, meaning the crime stats are lower because the crimes have been rebranded as “not crimes.”

Did One Famous Finance Guy See This Coming?

Back in 2022, financial expert Michael Burry — best known for his portrayal by Christian Bale in “The Big Short” — liquidated almost all of his investments except for one, according to me (Kay Smythe Hill) when I wrote for the Daily Caller. His one remaining investment was 500,000 Geo Group, an organization dedicated to building private prisons and mental health facilities.

At the time, the need for private prisons and mental health facilities was enormous across a majority of blue states, thanks largely to poor policy and the defund the police movement.

Burry, who knew the housing market would crash in 2008 and was one of the few people who actually made money from his bet, is seen as something of an economic oracle. Did he see the need for a regrowth in the prison and mental health systems, and knew that one day a great leader would destroy the normalization of violent crime across the U.S.? Maybe. It was a pretty easy bet, but it was one that so many others missed.

Democrats’ poster child for anti-Trump deportations, Kilmer Abrego-Garcia, continues to suffer reputational damage as his checkered past continues to surface. 

His alleged human trafficking boss has spoken after the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) released the bodycam footage of his traffic stop while hauling alleged human trafficking subjects.

“He’s hauling these people for money,” the trooper said.

During the stop, the El Salvadorian was driving a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado belonging to a convicted human trafficker, Ramon Hernandez Reyes. The alleged MS-13 gang member also had $1,400 in cash, which one THP officer suggested was his payment for transporting the suspected illegal aliens across the country. All nine passengers in the vehicle had no luggage and gave Abrego-Garcia’s address, which is typical of individuals being smuggled into the country.

THP officers contacted Biden’s FBI and were instructed to release him without charges. He also did not receive a speeding ticket but was given a warning for driving with an expired license.

“Per standard protocol, the THP contacted federal law enforcement authorities with the Biden-era FBI — the agency of jurisdiction — who made the decision not to detain him.”

Reyes has now confirmed that he had indeed hired Abrego-Garcia to transport illegal immigrants from Texas to other parts of the country, as the officer had suspected. When asked about the car owner, Abrego-Garcia said it belonged to his boss, further corroborating Reyes’ claim.

The convicted smuggler also disclosed that he met Abrego-Garcia in 2015 and they started working together for many years before he was arrested in 2019 and convicted in 2020.

“Hernandez Reyes reportedly told the DOJ officials that he met Abrego Garcia in 2015, just three years after the latter man reportedly admitted to illegally entering the United States,” the Tennessee Star reported.

Reyes also disclosed that he charged $350 per head and paid Abrego-Garcia part of the money to drive illegal immigrants across the country. 

Meanwhile, Reyes was sentenced to 18 months in prison, deported, and ordered not to return to the United States for three years. However, he illegally re-entered the country and was re-arrested. He confessed to illegal reentry and was sentenced to 30 months in prison in 2022, which he is currently serving at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Talladega, Alabama. 

Reyes confessed to the Department of Justice attorneys and will receive “limited immunity.” During his trial, Reyes had also confessed to conspiring to smuggle illegal immigrants and being in the country illegally. Thus, his recent confession may not significantly affect his current sentence.

Similarly, Abrego-Garcia admitted to being in the country illegally during his 2019 trial, in which he was the judge entered a “withholding of removal” order preventing him from being deported to his home country of El Salvador or Guatemala.

Nonetheless, Democrats will continue to lie that American citizens could be deported to foreign countries, often citing Abrego-Garcia as an example. They will also continue to ignore all the mounting evidence that the alleged MS-13 gangbanger was not the model citizen they present him to be.
