Karoline Leavitt Delivers Good News on Trump’s Deportation Flights

During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the Trump administration will continue its large-scale deportation efforts, including the removal of illegal alien gang members to Central and South America.

The announcement came in response to a question from Katie, who was seated in the New Media Seat at the briefing. She asked whether additional flights carrying Venezuelan gang members—now designated as foreign terrorists—would be departing for El Salvador or other destinations in light of a recent court ruling.

Her question referenced U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who over the weekend ordered the administration to return flights carrying alleged Tren de Aragua gang members to Venezuela. Leavitt responded decisively, stating that Americans “can absolutely expect to see the continuation of the mass deportation campaign that has been successfully led by this president, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and also our Secretary of State Marco Rubio.”

She also criticized the role of federal judges in attempting to block the administration’s immigration enforcement policies.

“Since you brought up the judges, I would like to point out that the judges in this country are acting erroneously. We have judges who are acting as partisan activists from the bench. They are trying to dictate policy from the President of the United States. They are trying to clearly slow-walk this administration’s agenda, and it’s unacceptable,” Leavitt said.

She further emphasized the administration’s position on judicial interference:

“As the President said last night, we will continue to comply with these court orders. We will continue to fight these battles in courts, but it’s incredibly apparent that there is a concerted effort by the far left to judge shop, to pick judges who are clearly acting as partisan activists from the bench in an attempt to derail this president’s agenda. We will not allow that to happen, and not only are they usurping the will of the president and the chief executive of our country, but they are undermining the will of the American public, tens of millions of Americans who duly elected this President to implement the policies that are coming out of this White House.”

On Wednesday, Judge Boasberg granted the administration an additional day to turn over details regarding the deportation flights. The Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) has responded by citing “state secrets” in defense of withholding that information. This legal battle is not the only controversy surrounding Boasberg’s ruling.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) has officially filed articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg, following a call from President Donald Trump on Truth Social urging Republicans to take action. Gill had previewed his intent to pursue impeachment earlier in the week.

In addition to Gill’s efforts, other House Republicans have joined the push for judicial accountability. Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), and Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) have filed articles of impeachment against other federal judges whom they accuse of judicial activism against the Trump administration.

Thanks to President Trump’s policies, illegal immigration into the United States has been drastically reduced. Despite claims from left-wing media and political opponents, new legislation was not required to secure the border—just a new president. With the administration continuing its mass deportation efforts and Congress moving to hold activist judges accountable, the fight over immigration enforcement remains a central issue in Washington.

Kash Patel’s FBI Takes Down 300 Violent Gang Members in Massive Crackdown

Image Credit:© Alex Gould/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK

The FBI, under President Donald Trump’s leadership, has arrested more than 300 violent gang members over the past two weeks, marking a significant push to combat crime and drug trafficking across the country. The operation has led to the seizure of large amounts of narcotics, weapons, currency, and other illicit goods.

Kash Patel, a senior Trump administration official, highlighted the scale of the crackdown and its impact on public safety.

“In just two short weeks, we have arrested over 300 violent felonies gang members, including MS-13 and 18 gangsters,” Patel said.

“We have taken seizure of hundreds of pounds of narcotics and hundreds of weapons and currency and illicit goods. That’s just what you can do when you put the brave men and women of law enforcement in one room and get the hell out of their way. And we are going to do that in every state across this country.”

Patel specifically pointed to law enforcement success in Massachusetts, where authorities federally indicted more than 50 violent gang members and drug traffickers.

Nearly 200 kilograms of fentanyl were seized in recent weeks as part of the operation.

“In Massachusetts alone, in the last couple of weeks, they have indicted federally over 50 violent gang members and narco traffickers, seizing almost 200 kilograms of fentanyl,” Patel stated, as the audience responded with applause.

The initiative comes as the administration intensifies its efforts to combat the nationwide drug overdose crisis, which claims American lives at an alarming rate.

“There is no time for us to waste on this job,” Patel emphasized.

“And that’s why, under President Trump’s leadership and General Bondi’s leadership, we have been instructed to get after it, and that’s exactly what we are doing.”

The crisis extends beyond drug-related deaths, as violent crime continues to surge. Patel underscored the grim statistics, linking the crime wave to border security failures.

“We have to especially get after it when we lose an American citizen every seven minutes to a drug overdose,” Patel said.

“We have to especially get after it when a woman or child is raped in this country nearly every six minutes, and we have to especially get after it when there are two homicides nearly every hour in this country. Violent crime is exploding, and it is a direct result of the border invasion that occurred.”

Despite these challenges, Patel praised the administration’s efforts in reversing the crime trend and securing communities.

“Thanks to this administration, and thanks to your relentless work on the field of battle to protect our citizenry, we are finally curbing those astronomical numbers,” he said.

“And what that means is we are saving American lives. We are providing our children with safe schools and playgrounds so that they can be educated and grow up in a fun neighborhood, like we all have the privilege of doing in this great community.”

With a renewed focus on tackling gang violence, drug trafficking, and border security issues, the administration has signaled its intent to continue nationwide operations aimed at restoring law and order.

BOMBSHELL SCANDAL: ICE Confirms Biden Admin Cooked the Books on Illegal Alien Arrests

New data released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) highlights a dramatic shift in immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump, with interior arrests already surpassing the total number made during the entirety of Fiscal Year 2024 under Joe Biden.

According to Fox News’ Bill Melugin, senior ICE and DHS officials provided updated numbers on immigration enforcement, revealing a stark contrast between the Trump and Biden administrations’ handling of illegal immigration.

In a background call with reporters, ICE officials confirmed that in just the first 50 days of Trump’s presidency (January 20 – March 10, 2025), ICE arrested 32,809 illegal aliens in the interior of the U.S.

This figure nearly matches the 33,300 arrests made in all of Fiscal Year 2024 under the Biden-Harris administration. Officials further stated that in just two days following March 10, Trump’s ICE operations had already exceeded Biden’s total for the previous year.

ICE data breaks down the arrests made under Trump so far:

  • 14,111 convicted criminals
  • 9,980 illegal aliens with pending charges
  • 8,000+ immigration violators
  • 47,600 currently detained illegal aliens, maxing out available ICE detention beds

ICE and DHS officials also revealed that under the Biden-Harris administration, ICE arrest numbers were “falsely inflated” by counting illegal aliens who were processed and released into the U.S. as “interior ICE arrests.”

Tulsi Gabbard Drops Bombshell: Biden Admin Freed Many ISIS-Linked Illegal Aliens Into U.S.

The Biden administration’s reckless border policies have once again put American lives at risk, as only eight out of more than 100 migrants with suspected ISIS ties were locked up or deported after illegally crossing into the U.S.

That’s the shocking revelation from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who exposed the alarming failure during a border visit on Wednesday, as The New York Post reported.
Migrant plead with the Texas National Guard to be let in on the north embankment of the Rio Grande in El Paso, Texas in order to be processed by Border Patrol on March 20, 2024.

Now, the Trump administration is being forced to clean up the mess, working to track down the terror-linked migrants who were set loose under Biden’s watch.

Gabbard joined Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at Eagle Pass, Texas, where they detailed the catastrophe left behind by the previous administration.

Gabbard revealed that the migrants in question hail from Central Asian nations known for ISIS recruitment. They were linked to an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network—and yet, the Biden team did next to nothing about it.

Even more disturbing, federal officials knew that over 4,000 migrants had used ISIS-linked smugglers to cross the border, and that hundreds were identified as terrorists or associates of known terrorists.
President Joe Biden announces a new student loan forgiveness program on April 8, 2024, in Madison, Wis.

But instead of taking swift action, the Biden administration allowed nearly all of them to roam free. She stated that when she took over, she found that only eight of those migrants had either been deported or remained in custody.

Gabbard slammed the previous administration for its failure to protect the homeland:

“That information was provided to the Biden Administration. You may remember in some of the news a little over one hundred of those people were arrested in 2024. Of those who were arrested, only eight were either deported or remained in custody.”

Then came the chilling question: Where are the rest?

“Only eight, the rest of them were released back into our country. Where are they? What are they doing? What may they be plotting? This is just the beginning.”

While Biden and his team ignored national security threats, President Trump’s leadership is already reversing the damage.

During their visit, Vance praised Trump’s rapid action to secure the border, noting that illegal crossings are now at their lowest levels in recorded history.
Former President Donald Trump with vice presidential nominee JD Vance during the second day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum. The second day of the RNC focused on crime and border policies.

Eagle Pass, once a hotspot for unchecked migration, has seen daily crossings plummet from 1,500 to just 30—all without new laws or endless D.C. debates.

“It turns out we didn’t need new laws, we didn’t need fancy legislation, we just needed a new president of the United States,” Vance declared.

Hegseth agreed but made it clear: there’s still work to do. He emphasized the administration’s commitment to achieving full “operational control” over the border, ensuring that the disastrous policies of the past never return.

While Biden’s failures left America vulnerable, Trump’s leadership is restoring law and order. But with ISIS-linked migrants still unaccounted for, the question remains: How much danger did the last administration leave behind?

ICE Raids Target “Worst of the Worst” Despite DNC-Linked Sabotage

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem led Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Northern Virginia on Tuesday morning as part of a two-day effort to target illegal alien gang members in the Washington, D.C., suburbs.

The raids were carried out in coordination with multiple federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The operation focused on apprehending members of criminal organizations such as MS-13 and the 18th Street Gang, as well as individuals with prior convictions for violent or sexual crimes.

Despite a leak of the raid details by Vanity Fair congressional reporter Pablo Manriquez—who also appeared to provide guidance to potential targets on how to evade capture—Noem made it clear that the enforcement actions would not be disrupted.

Following the raids, Noem issued a statement reinforcing her department’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws.

Michael Moore Claims Trump Deporting Illegal Aliens Will Stop Cure for Cancer

Far-left activist Michael Moore has complained that America won’t be enriched with medical experts who someday may be able to cure cancer after President Donald Trump deports them back to their home countries.

In a bizarre rant on Tuesday, Moore wrote in a Substack post that Trump’s mass deportations might result in the U.S. losing someone who could find a cure for cancer or stop an asteroid from hitting the Earth. “Who’s really being removed by ICE tonight?” he wrote. “The child who would’ve discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th-grade nerd who would’ve stopped that Astroid [sic] that’s gonna hit us in 2032?”

Moore tried to substantiate his argument by using Apple CEO Steve Jobs, the son of a Syrian who migrated legally to the United States, as a so-called “example.”

He explained:

“So here we are now, in 2025, with at least 11 million ‘illegal’ migrants roaming about this hallowed land, driving on our roads, getting God-knows-how-much free welfare, free blankets, free Federal surplus cheese, free use of 9-1-1 and our public libraries while the rest of us have to work and pay taxes for all of this.

And what, pray tell, can you tell me we have received in return for Abdulfattah’s ‘little mistake’ that was deposited in that hellhole we call San Francisco, once a great place to leave your heart in that ‘city by the bay’? Nothing. We get nothing from that Syrian Muslim who sired a Jr. Abdulfattah. A nothing-migrant with a nothing-out-of-wedlock-baby.

Except… that ‘nothing-baby’ was soon adopted and given an American name — Steve Jobs. Yes, that Steve Jobs. Who, along with Steve Wozniak, is responsible for this laptop I’m writing on, the phone that’s in my pocket, the iPod shuffle that I’ve had for a decade and holds 1,000 of my favorite songs on a device that isn’t even an inch wide, my AppleTV+ on my TV across the room—easily one of our top two streamers when it comes to exceptional content.

I also just started wearing an Apple Watch that counts my steps, the beats of my heart, the number of teeth I have left, and informs me that today my blood pressure is 106/60 (it is also predicting that INCIDENT will win the Oscar this Sunday for Best Documentary Short).

I am grateful for that Muslim migrant baby being born here 70 years ago today. Because if he hadn’t, it’s possible we would have none of his inventions. We would also have no TED LASSO.”

Moore joins other Hollywood bigwigs struggling to adapt to life under Trump.

Perhaps he also feels foolish for repeatedly insisting that Kamala Harris would win on the back of a tidal wave of support from indignant women.

“The vast majority of the country, the normal people, have seen enough and want the clown car to disappear into the MAGA vortex somewhere between reality and Orlando,” Moore wrote in a Substack post shortly before the election.

Big Apple Fights to Keep Letting Non-Citizens Vote

Perhaps in five years, or 10, Americans will look back on the period from 2020 to 2024 the same way we look at the Salem witch trials of the 1690s. “How could they have been so nuts?” we might ask. During the Biden presidency, all manner of irrational and frankly insane practices became “new normal.” 

Sterilizing children with puberty blockers and telling boys that, yes, they are girls born in the wrong body, became “normal.” Allowing rioters with Black Lives Matter and Antifa to torch government buildings and shut down cities causing billions of dollars in damage (with no prosecution) became “normal.” 

Guess what else has become normal? In the Big Apple it’s letting people who are not citizens vote. But it’s not just that, which is mental enough. The state is actually fighting in court to keep allowing it. A New York City law went on the books in 2022 that would allow so-called “documented non-citizens” to vote in city elections. It is important to note that the law does not allow illegal aliens to vote. But in practice, it’s obvious that illegals would be waved through without much checking, and it’s highly likely that they’re already doing so. A city that thinks it’s normal and reasonable to let foreign nationals vote in a U.S. city isn’t motivated to check papers carefully. 

And quite obviously, they’re motivated not to check carefully. The Democrats have been pushing for “non-citizen voting,” and they’ve objected to securing the country’s borders, because they want votes from all the non-U.S. people pouring in. We don’t need to do some deep investigation to prove this. The census that occurs every 10 years counts everyone in the U.S., including illegal foreigners. That total number is used for “apportionment,” which is the process of redrawing Congressional districts to reflect changes in population. The Census Bureau is very upfront about this. 

It’s easy to see why New York is fighting in court to keep its non-citizen voting ordinance in effect. According to Politico, 800,000 to 1 million non-U.S.-citizen New Yorkers would suddenly have the right to vote in city elections. What Democrat could resist? 

Elon Musk highlighted the problem with a clip from Fox News. Anchor Brian Kilmeade seemed stunned that the issue was even in question. 

Musk himself is an immigrant, but he’s a legal immigrant, and he has no love for those who sneak through the border evading the legal process. Reactions to his post on X/Twitter are pretty much what you would expect; Americans are outraged at the electoral shenanigans leftists have pulled right out in the open for years. 

This user points out how everyone really knew all along what was happening, but no one who objected was taken seriously. 

Devon probably speaks for most of us.

New AG Bondi SHUTS OFF Federal Justice Dept. Money to Hundreds of “Sanctuary Cities”

Turns out that Democrats can’t openly flout the law forever and suffer zero consequences. Who knew? For years it has certainly seemed like the laws of the land simply didn’t apply to anyone on Team Blue. Don’t like healthy children? Well, just “transition” them by poisoning them with chemicals and cutting off their health body parts, right? It’s not abuse when the left does it, right? 

Don’t like the fact that the U.S. has laws about how to legally enter and reside inside America? Well, just be a Democrat Governor like New Jersey’s Phil Murphy and go on the air taunting Immigrations and Customs Enforcement by saying you’re hiding an illegal in your garage apartment and that you dare ICE to come and get her. 

Here’s what Murphy said: “I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there’s someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point they are trying to get it to And we said: ‘You know what? Let’s have her live above our house, above our garage. And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.’”

A person can only be this confident in bragging about breaking immigration law if he believes that he is untouchable. Democrats, unfortunately, are right to be this confident. They have been untouchable and above the law for years. While screeching that Donald Trump was a “Russian asset” and impeaching him based on bought-and-paid-for lies, the blue team has been able to flout immigration, child abuse, and women’s rights laws anywhere they saw fit with no legal consequences. 

That’s changing right now under newly appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has called the blue states’ bluff in a way that hasn’t been done in years. On February 5, Bondi announced that she is freezing all federal Department of Justice money to so-called “sanctuary cities.” These are Democrat-Progressive-led cities that simply decided that they were going to hide illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement. Cities like Minneapolis and San Francisco, just two among hundreds, have brazenly declared that they will fight their own federal government to protect illegal aliens from being deported. Trump warned them that if they kept this up, he was going to take action, and that action came today. 

AG Bondi has made good on Trump’s promise, ordering her Department of Justice to shut off any federal dollars to cities that defy federal immigration law. 

Among several directives issued Wednesday, Bondi charged the DOJ with identifying and evaluating funding agreements with nongovernmental organizations that provide support to undocumented immigrantsFox News Digital first reported.

She also tasked the department with investigating instances of sanctuary jurisdictions obstructing law enforcement and “directing they be prosecuted, when necessary,” the outlet wrote.

Several offices within the Justice Department provided $1.56 billion in grants to sanctuary cities in 2023, according to the think tank Center for Immigration Studies.

When asked about the impact of the Justice Department’s directive, a New York City Hall spokesperson told The Independent in a statement that Mayor Eric Adams “has been clear that New York City is committed to working with our federal partners to fix our broken immigration system and collaborating with ICE to remove people who are entering our localities and committing violent crimes. We are currently evaluating the directive.”

Commentator Benny Johnson was practically giddy to share the news:

From the responses, it looks like most people are pretty excited about it.

Tom Homan Destroys Joy Reid After Immigration Remarks: She’s “Dumber than a Box of Rocks”

Border czar Tom Homan slammed MSNBC host Joy Reid for remarks on the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts, calling her “dumber than a box of rocks.”

The nationwide ICE operations have already led to the arrest of 4,500 violent criminals, including gang members, kidnappers, murderers, and rapists. The efforts are moving quickly to make America’s cities safe again, another promise President Donald Trump is fulfilling.

During Reid’s show, she referred to the raids as “performative,” while New York Attorney General Letitia James said the enforcement actions were “reckless.”

Watch:

Homan responded to the remarks by saying, “She’s dumber than a box of rocks,” referring to Reid.

“What ICE did in Chicago is saved children. What we did in New York today is save children.”

“Just in Chicago alone, we arrested at least nine sexual predators, most of them child sex predators. We took them off the street,” he stated.

Highlighting the concerns over national security and noting the rise in individuals on the terrorist watch list crossing into the U.S. under Biden, Homan said, “Under Biden, we had a 3,500% increase in people on terrorist watch lists. No, we’re saving this nation.”

“We make America safe again. So they need to get out of the way because we’re coming. We’re going to do it. They’re not going to stop us.”

Earlier this week, ICE reported 1,016 arrests and 814 detainers lodged. The surge in illegal crossings under the Biden administration pushed the country to breaking point, and now it is being reversed by Trump.

Reid’s overage of immigration enforcement saw backlash on social media, with many accusing her of downplaying the risks posed by illegal immigration.

Meanwhile, Conservative commentators said Reid’s rhetoric misrepresents the dangers posed by unchecked migration and undermines ICE’s efforts.

Stars and Leftists Melt Down Over Deportations, But Fans Don’t Care

Americans should expect that it’s going to take some time for leftists and Democrats to accept the reality of what they’ve lost. And they have lost everything; the White House, the Senate, the House, and the Supreme Court. They’ve also lost majority support in the public on almost every issue that obsesses them from “transgender” ideology to soft-on-crime policies to coddling and paying for millions of illegal immigrants. 

But you can tell that the leftist establishment doesn’t yet believe this is real. They’re trying the same histrionics and absurd accusations against conservative government officials that they’ve been using since they lost their minds over Donald Trump’s first term as President. 

The media establishment, for some reason no one has been able to figure out, seems to have no higher priority than wrapping its emotional arms around illegal aliens. We’ve seen the highest number of border jumpers in history under the Biden presidency, and somehow, dangerous young men from third world countries with no papers set Democrat hearts aflutter. 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is flapping her Muppet gums about how the price of coffee is going to rise because President Trump issued an ultimatum to Columbia. A few days ago, the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, refused to allow two U.S. military planes filled with illegal Colombians from landing in the country. Apparently, he thought he had this option, but he didn’t. Over the weekend Trump threatened immediate tariffs against all Colombian imports, and the country folded like the cheap South American socialist dictatorship that it is. Not only are they “happily” taking back all their countrymen, but the president is sending his own plane to help. All while the price of coffee remains unaffected.

Enforcing boundaries with tough consequences works, but this is a new concept for leftists. ABC’s anchor Martha Raddatz sat down with “border czar” Tom Homan and spluttered in shock when he confirmed that, yes, Americans are going to see military planes deporting illegals every single day. She seemed genuinely disoriented at the very ordinary, standard practice of, well, deporting people who are here illegally. Homan was unflappable and refused to comfort her or tell her that the U.S. is going to be “nice” about the issue. Take a look. 

Hollywood stars are having similar difficulties adjusting to the new reality that looks more like normal than anything we’ve had for 10 years. Former Disney child star and recording artist Selena Gomez just learned a hard lesson about being a ridiculous child about protecting illegal aliens. The rich, young singer, who is herself an American, doesn’t see herself that way. In a tearful video full of what the young call “ugly crying,” Gomez whimpered and wiped her eyes over the pain of seeing “her people” treated this way. 

Her people? Does she really mean to say that illegal border jumpers and criminals are “her people?” Why are her fellow American citizens not “her people?” To her shock, Gomez’s fans hit back at her online histrionics so hard that she pulled down the video. 

Take a look at it here:

The responses on X/Twitter weren’t any kinder to Gomez than her own fans:

It looks like people are getting tired of the “turn on the tears and then film them for sympathy” act that’s become so common among celebrities and woke activists. 

With these kinds of theatrics, it’s impossible to tell how much of the emotion is genuine and how much of it is a complete put-on. But it does seem plausible that young starlets like Gomez really are so emotionally damaged that they’re actually moved to tears by things that make sense to the rest of us. There’s a reason the status of “child star” invokes images of exploitation and pushy stage parents for most people. Whether performers like Gomez can come back to reality is an open question.
