President Trump isn’t wasting any time when it comes to tackling the border crisis left behind by the Biden administration. In a move that hasn’t been seen in over 70 years, Trump has launched an aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration, and the results are already rolling in. Just one day after issuing an executive order deputizing federal agencies like the ATF, FBI, and U.S. Marshals to assist in rounding up illegal immigrants, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that over 500 violent offenders have been taken into custody.
That’s right—538 arrests in just one day, with another 373 detainers placed on suspects in local jurisdictions. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill border crossers, they’re bad, bad people. And the best part? This is just the beginning. ICE’s announcement, posted on X, quickly went viral, racking up over 7.7 million views and more than 21,000 reposts in less than 24 hours. Clearly, Americans are paying attention—and they’re liking what they see.
White House border czar Tom Homan isn’t mincing words about the situation, either. Speaking to Fox News, he laid the blame squarely at Joe Biden’s feet, calling his border policies “intentional” and promising that President Trump will secure the border like never before. “You thought we had a secure border before? Watch what happens now,” Homan declared.
And he’s not kidding. The Trump administration has wasted no time in backing up their words with action. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that deportation flights are already underway, with the first wave of illegal immigrants being flown out on military aircraft from Biggs Army Airfield in El Paso. Fox News sources revealed that 80 individuals were sent back to Guatemala on one such flight Thursday evening, and many more are expected to follow.
Meanwhile, President Trump has deployed 1,500 U.S. military personnel to the southern border to reinforce security measures, including installing razor wire along high-traffic entry points like the Ysleta Port of Entry in El Paso. Unlike the Biden years—where illegal immigrants were handed bus tickets and smartphones—Trump is sending a loud and clear message: cross illegally, and you will be sent back.
This sweeping effort is reminiscent of President Dwight Eisenhower’s 1954 campaign which successfully removed over a million illegal immigrants from the country. But make no mistake—this is Trump’s version, and it’s tougher, smarter, and more efficient.
America First is back, and the days of open borders and lawlessness are officially over.
