President Donald Trump toured the newly established “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday, prior to its “grand opening.”

The facility offers 3,000 beds and is set to serve as a temporary detention facility for illegal aliens who are set to be deported.

In addition to the 47th president, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem paid a visit and toured the facility as well.

The facility is uniquely positioned in the Florida Everglades, which is known for its extreme terrain and wildlife. The facility is located at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, which conveniently features an open runway — allowing for easy transportation.

Alligators in the Everglades feed themselves on the native wildlife, such as fish, mammals, and birds. The gators are wild and self-sustaining.

“I thought this was so professional, so well done,” Trump said of the facility. “It is really government working together.”

“Snakes are fast, but alligators – we’re going to teach them how to run away from an alligator. Don’t run in a straight line, run like this,” he continued to joke, demonstrating a zigzag formation.

Trump went on to explain that “some of the most vicious people on the planet” will be held at the facility.

“We’re surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland, and the only way out is really deportation.”

Florida officials also emphasized that the facility features “at least 200 security cameras, 28,000 feet of barbed wire, and over 400 security personnel.”

During the visit, DeSantis detailed how the facility will operate.

“You’ll be able to bring people in, they’ll get processed, they’ll get an order of removal, then they can be queued up and the federal government can fly — right off the runway, right there, you literally drive them 2,000 feet, put them on a plane and then they’re gone.”

“They ain’t going anywhere once they’re there, unless you want them to go somewhere,” DeSantis continued. “Because it’s good luck getting to civilization. So the security is amazing – natural and otherwise.”

Similar to the Trump administration’s initiative to combat illegal immigration, the Florida governor also urged illegals to “self-deport,” rather than go through the strenuous and pricey process of deportation through temporary detention facilities — such as Alligator Alcatraz.

“Why would you want to come through ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ if you can just go home on your own?” DeSantis stated. “I think a lot of people are going to make that decision.”

Illegal aliens are also incentivized to self-deport due to the potential of returning to the United States legally, whereas individuals who do not voluntarily self-deport will most likely “never get the chance to come back.”

The facility is expected to begin housing illegal aliens on Wednesday, as President Trump has voiced that he would like to see similar temporary housing facilities constructed in “many states.”

The facility is expected to cost around $450 million a year, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The majority of the cost will be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency — largely utilizing the same funds the previous Biden administration used to provide housing, food, and medical care for migrants claiming asylum.

Illegal immigrant who threatened to kill Trump arrested by ICE agents

3:51 PM – Wednesday, May 28, 2025

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested an illegal alien who allegedly sought to kill President Donald Trump prior to self-deporting to Mexico.

Ramon Morales-Reyes, a Mexican national, was arrested on May 22nd after an ICE field officer received a threatening letter from Morales-Reyes targeting President Trump.

“We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans – we have done more for this country than you white people,” Morales-Reyes reportedly wrote. “You have been deporting my family and I think it is time Donald J. Trump get what he has coming to him.”

“I will self deport myself back to Mexico, but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in his head – I will see him at one of his big ralleys,” he continued.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Morales-Reyes’ arrest on Wednesday, calling on politicians and the media to “tone down their rhetoric.”

“Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,” Noem stated.

“This threat comes not even a year after President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania and less than two weeks after former FBI Director Comey called for the President’s assassination. All politicians and members of the media should take notice of these repeated attempts on President Trump’s life and tone down their rhetoric. I will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of President Trump,” she added.

Morales-Reyes, 54, reportedly illegally entered the United States nine times between 1998 and 2005, and has since racked up a criminal record including a felony hit-and-run, criminal damage to property, as well as disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier.

Morales-Reyes is currently being held at Dodge County Jail in Juneau, Wisconsin, pending deportation proceedings.

Glenn Beck: Are Illegals Getting “Maximum” Social Security Benefits?

Elon Musk and Valor Equity Partners CEO Antonio Gracias recently announced a shocking discovery made by DOGE: over 4.8 million “noncitizens” have been given Social Security numbers since President Biden entered office. Even more shocking was the discovery that “the defaults in the system, from Social Security to all of the benefit programs, have been set to max inclusion, max pay for these people — and minimum collection,” according to Gracias. And some of these noncitizens even registered to vote! So, how many were legal immigrants on work visas, and how many were illegal immigrants? Musk and Gracias noted that under Biden, applying for asylum became much easier and there was “no interview” required to obtain these Social Security numbers. Glenn and Stu discuss the story …

Border Czar Tom Homan Reveals ICE Arrested 370 Illegal Aliens In Boston This Past Week

11:50 AM – Monday, March 24, 2025

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reportedly arrested 370 illegal aliens in Boston, Massachusetts, and surrounding areas this past week — after border czar Tom Homan previously promised to “bring hell” to Boston.

Regarding Boston, Homan also warned in November 2024 that “if you don’t want to work with us, then get the hell out of the way." We’re going to do it. What it means is, rather than sending 100 people to Boston, we’re going to send 200 agents to Boston. We’re going to get the job done.”

Homan said that the most recent joint operation lasted for 5-days and included multiple agencies, including ICE, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), a number of U.S. Marshals, and the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service.

“I made a promise at CPAC that I was going to Boston after reading about the numerous illegal alien child rapists walking the streets of Boston and Massachusetts. ICE had to find and arrest these illegal alien rapists because Massachusetts and Boston are sanctuaries that refuse to cooperate with ICE,” Homan wrote in a Monday X post.

“They would rather release these animals back into the community rather than honor ICE detainers or notify ICE when they are scheduled to be released.  Mayor Wu later testified that I was lying. Well, I traveled to Boston last Tuesday, as promised, and we kicked off a five-day operation with ICE, FBI, ATF, DEA, US Marshals and DSS. These incredible men and women arrested a total of 370 illegal aliens in Boston and surrounding areas.  The majority of the 370 being significant criminals,” he continued.

Homan went on to explain that out of the 370 arrests, six of them were “foreign fugitives” and four of them were “wanted for murder or to serve a criminal sentence for murder, along with drug traffickers, child sexual predators and numerous other violent public safety threats.”

“These officers and agents have made the neighborhoods of Boston and Massachusetts much safer.  They risked their own safety by arresting these criminals on the street, rather than a jail. Governor Healey and Mayor Wu should be ashamed of supporting sanctuary policies.  Releasing public safety threats back into the public, rather than working with ICE at the jails, puts the public at great risk,” Homan added.

Homan’s condemnation of Boston Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu followed after she slammed him for criticizing the city’s police commissioner, who had released nine child rapists from jail. Boston’s “sanctuary” status, according to Wu, is crucial to ensuring that illegals in the city feel at ease and are thriving.

“I read a story last night that the police commissioner of Boston, you said you’d double down on not helping ICE law enforcement officers of ICE. I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me. I looked at the numbers this morning; I stopped counting at nine. Nine child rapists who were in jail in Massachusetts, but rather than honoring an ICE detainer, released them back onto the street. You’re not the police commissioner; take that badge off your chest and put it in the desk drawer. You became a politician,” Homan stated at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February.

“President Trump’s ‘all of government effort’ to arrest and remove the WORST FIRST is making our communities safer every day.  President Trump is a Game Changer who is keeping his promises to the American people. Much more to do, but it will be done!”

Mayor Johnson Terrorizes Chicago to Protect Illegal Alien Criminals

The sanctuary city for illegal alien criminals are unsafe for everyone else.

While Mayor Brandon Johnson showed up to defend Chicago’s sanctuary city policies before Congress, federal immigration authorities were expelling Prince Knox, a ‘refugee’ affiliated with the Revolutionary United Front, which chopped off the arms of tens of thousands of people with machetes to take over and provide them with free health care, back to his native Sierra Leone.

Prince Knox was one of the many illegal aliens, criminals and assorted monsters protected by Chicago’s ‘Welcoming City’ ordinance and the Illinois Trust Act which forms its sanctuary system.

Chicago’s sheltering of illegal alien criminals has forced ICE to carry out ‘raids’ to get them.

The media has been running alarmist articles such as NPR’s claim that “migrants in Chicago are skipping health checks due to immigration crackdown fears”, and claims in other media outlets that illegal aliens are too afraid to shop, go to church or send their children to school.

The only reason for ICE’s raids is Chicago’s refusal to hand over illegal alien criminals.

Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling admitted, “there’s no need to be afraid to show up to work. There’s no need to be afraid to go to school. We have not seen federal agents running through Chicago looking for children, going to work locations and grabbing people.”

A “climate of fear” is being spread by Johnson and his political allies, as well as the media, which is covering up the fact that ICE is arresting gang members and dangerous criminals. Their goal is to use fear to build up opposition to ICE’s arrests of the ‘worst of the worst’.

Ever since Trump took office, there’s been a civil war in Chicago between ICE immigration authorities who have arrested hundreds of illegal alien criminals and Mayor Johnson, the Chicago City Council and their political allies who are conspiring to block those arrests.

Pro-illegal alien activists track the movements of undercover federal immigration enforcement personnel to sabotage their operations and tip off their targets. Rep. Delia Ramirez, a member of the Homeland Security Committee in Congress, described ICE enforcement as “these acts of terror and intimidation” and urged pro-illegals, “if you see ICE activity, potentially in unmarked vehicles, we encourage you to report that to our local immigration rights organizations.”

Mayor Johnson similarly described the federal government’s renewed commitment to immigration enforcement as “acts of terror to radically shift our way of life.”

In D.C., he told Congress that he was “building a Chicago that embodies the dream of my father.” Brandon’s dad had apparently envisioned a city overrun by illegal alien gangs like Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings even in Chicago’s ultra-violent South Side.

“Chicago’s Welcoming City ordinance and our other laws and policies do not lead to more crime, they do not prevent cooperation with federal law enforcement on criminal matters, and we do not harbor criminals,” Johnson falsely told Congress. Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot helped tighten the Welcoming City sanctuary city ordinance to protect criminals who had been arrested.

Two Latino City Council members tried to roll back the extreme sanctuary city arrangement. ICE had offered to stop immigration raids if Chicago law enforcement were allowed to turn over criminals directly to it. The proposal by Alds. Raymond Lopez and Silvana Tabares failed by 11 to 39. Johnson led the campaign against it bragging that he would continue to defy the law “to stand by and protect Chicago’s immigrant communities against threats from ICE.”

Johnson and Chicago authorities complain about ICE raids, claiming that immigration authorities are targeting schools and churches, and have resorted to outright lies to spread fear.

“Earlier today, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed up at Hamline Elementary School,” Chief Education Officer Bogdana Chkoumbova said at a press conference. “School staff followed CPS established protocols. They kept ICE agents outside of the school and contacted CPS law department and CPS Office of Safety and Security for further guidance. ICE agents were not allowed into the school and were not permitted to speak to any students or staff members. Here is the bottom line, our students and staff are safe.”

Chicago school staff weren’t interfering with ICE personnel, but with Secret Service agents who were investigating death threats being sent over the proposed TikTok ban.

Chicago Public Schools head Pedro Martinez kept up the lie on MSNBC, falsely stating that the Secret Service “presented credentials and shared that they were from ICE.”

Why did top Chicago education officials lie? To spread fear and build up opposition to immigration enforcement by frightening students and parents as they had done from the very beginning with an email offering “mental health resources available at every CPS school to help students who may be feeling concern and anxiety about the incoming administration”.

“Every violent crime is devastating, but scapegoating entire communities is not only misleading, it is unjust, and it is beneath us,” Johnson argued.

The ‘communities’ in question are illegal alien criminals and international gangs.

ICE isn’t terrorizing anyone. Mayor Brandon Johnson is using terror to protect the sanctuary city system. Johnson and other Chicago politicians know that ICE is only coming for illegal alien criminals. He isn’t protecting “families” or “communities”, but murderers, rapists, terrorists and child molesters. And he’s protecting them by forcing ICE to carry out immigration raids so that he can claim that the deportation of criminals is “terrorizing” Chicago’s Latino communities.

Because Johnson wasn’t protecting immigrants or even illegals, he was protecting criminals.

In D.C., Johnson claimed that everything was going well and crime was down in Chicago, but, Chicago authorities are once again rigging crime statistics by not recording crimes, not making arrests and not solving crimes. Johnson shut down ShotSpotter, which helped detect homicides. And only 1 in 7 violent crimes ended in an arrest. Chicago authorities now claim to have cleared 60% of murders. Last year they claimed to have a clearance race of 54%, but the actual clearance rate for murders that ended in an arrest was only 23%. Or less than 1 in 4 murders.

Despite Johnson’s claim that crime is down, there have already been 77 murders this year.

Mayor Johnson, whose love for illegal aliens is only exceeded by his love for criminals, has turned Chicago into a sanctuary city for criminals where most murders are filed as unprosecutable.

And the illegal alien criminals who commit them are treated as undeportable.

A sanctuary city for illegal alien criminals is a deeply unsafe place for everyone else.  A third of Chicagoans are worried about migrant crime, and 1 in 5 say their children are now unsafe in school because of mass migration. But there’s no sanctuary for Americans in Chicago.

In Congress, Mayor Brandon Johnson, whose approval rating is at 6%, defended his pro-illegal alien criminal policies by claiming, “I was elected to represent the people of Chicago and that’s what I do”, but a majority of Chicago residents want less immigration; only 20% want more.

According to Johnson, around 1% of the city budget now goes toward illegal alien migrants.

While 80% of Chicago residents are sick and tired of Johnson, illegal alien criminals love him. In Cook County, that 1 percent votes earlier and more often than most Americans do.

EXPOSED: How Our Government Funded the Illegal Immigration Disaster | Tom Homan | Glenn Beck TV

Did you know our own government — using YOUR tax dollars — funded the illegal immigration disaster? While it was bad under President Trump’s first term, it ballooned into an epic disaster under the Biden White House. Even the New York Times had to admit it was the “largest immigration surge in U.S. history.” The Biden administration let in an average of 2.4 MILLION migrants per year during his first three years in office. But the new Trump administration is tackling the mess head-on with a deportation operation targeting dangerous criminals and restoring law and order at the border. It’s a promising start, but to fully dismantle the Biden policies that got us to this point, it requires pulling the plug on the insane funding of NGOs that drive the steady stream of illegal immigrants to the border. Most Americans are completely unaware of how vast the illegal immigration industrial complex is and how WE are funding it all. Glenn reveals a tangled web of corruption that shows how NGOs get paid BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars, which flow from the alphabet soup of federal agencies including the State Department, USAID, FEMA, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security. President Trump’s no-nonsense border czar Tom Homan tells Glenn in an exclusive interview that he’s “very concerned” about reports that Mexico’s drug cartels are planning drone and explosives attacks against U.S. Border Patrol agents. He predicts there “will be violence on the border” and warns that if cartels hurt any federal agents or members of the U.S. military, President Trump will "rain hell down on them" and “wipe them off of the face of the earth.” He also has a message for anti-ICE politicians, like New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who suggest they’re knowingly harboring or concealing illegal aliens: “It’s a felony,” and Attorney General Pam Bondi is watching.

5:48 PM – Wednesday, January 29, 2025

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that his administration is preparing to send 30,000 of the most violent and dangerous illegal aliens to Guantanamo Bay.

Guantanamo Bay, also known as GITMO, is a U.S. military prison within Naval Station Guantanamo Bay on the coast of Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

“Today I’m also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay,” Trump stated. “Most people don’t even know about it.”

“Some of them are so bad, we don’t even trust their countries to hold them because we don’t want them coming back,” Trump continued. “We’re going to send them to Guantanamo.”

Trump’s latest initiative to crackdown on illegal immigration has resulted in U.S. law enforcement officials removing and returning at least 7,300 illegal aliens since Trump took office, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“Most people don’t even know that we have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people,” Trump highlighted. “This will double our capacity immediately… It’s a tough place to get out of.”

Trump’s order requires the DHS and the Defense Department to take “all appropriate actions to expand” the facilities “to full capacity to provide additional detention space for high-priority criminal aliens unlawfully present in the United States.”

At Gitmo, the U.S. had previously housed hundreds of individuals suspected of terrorism following the September 11th, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center. However, only 15 current terrorist suspects remain today.

Additionally, President Trump’s appointed border czar, Tom Homan, added that “there’s already a migrant center” at the Cuban outpost that’s “been there for decades.”

“So we’re just going to expand upon that existing migrant center,” Homan continued, revealing that those sent to Cuba will be “the worst of the worst.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth noted that the facility is going to be used for “temporary transit” — processing and returning individuals to their countries in a safe manner.

Meanwhile, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel slammed the decision, referring to the outpost as “well-known prisons of torture and illegal detention.”

English Translation: “In an act of brutality, the new US government announces the imprisonment at the Guantanamo Naval Base, located in illegally occupied territory #Cuba , of thousands of migrants that it forcibly expels, and will place them next to the well-known prisons of torture and illegal detention,” Díaz-Canel wrote in an X post.

ICE: 956 Illegal Aliens Detained In 1 Day During Ongoing Nationwide Raids

5:06 PM – Monday, January 27, 2025

The rapid response administration of President Donald Trump has continued to conduct nationwide Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the first week of his re-election. On Sunday alone, the agency reported at least 956 arrests.

By Thursday, over 1,300 people had been arrested, according to border czar Tom Homan.

ICE also posted another infographic on X on Monday, informing the public that they had made 1,170 arrests — in addition to 853 detainers lodged on the 27th.

Top Trump administration officials, including border czar Tom Homan, traveled to Chicago on Sunday to observe the beginning of increased illegal immigration enforcement in the third-largest city in the country.

Images of Bove and Homan with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Customs and Border Protection agents were shared on X by the DEA’s Chicago branch.

Homan told Ali Bradley of NewsNation that several “public safety threats,” including members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang, convicted murderers, and sex offenders, had been taken into custody.

Five members of the Tren de Aragua gang were taken into custody during the start of the Chicago deportation operation, according to sources who spoke to the outlet. The operation was carried out just days after rumors circulated that the Windy City would be the site of widespread deportation raids.

Meanwhile, Governor JB Pritzker (D-Ill.) and progressive Chicago authorities have defiantly pledged to shield immigrant communities from mass deportations.

Outside of Illinois, other Democratic state governors are also similarly declaring that they will not allow deportations to occur in their state, or they’re refraining from offering any assistance in the effort. Governor Katie Hobbs (D-Ariz.) told reporters that Arizona officials will not be assisting the Trump administration during their crackdown.

“We’re going to stand up to the administration just like I have from day one when they’re not getting it right for Arizonans,” Hobbs said last week on Friday.

“Harboring — Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it an offense for any person who — knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation” will be arrested, the DOJ noted.

In addition, if an individual “has been illegally harboring an alien, they may be fined and subject to up to five years of imprisonment,” according to Dhar Law LLP.

On the official White House website, which has now been taken over by the Trump administration, it notes the thought process behind the ongoing crackdown on illegal immigration.

A judge found illegal migrant Jose Ibarra guilty on Wednesday of murdering 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley, while she was running on the University of Georgia campus on February 22nd. 

The 26-year-old Ibarra was found guilty of murder by Athens-Clarke County Superior Court Judge Patrick Haggard and other charges that relate to Riley’s death. Ibarra had waived his right to a jury trial, which meant that it was ultimately up to Haggard to decide his fate. 

The trial began Friday, and prosecutors called over a dozen law enforcement officers, Riley’s roommates and a woman who lived in the same apartment as Ibarra. Defense attorneys called a police officer, a jogger and one of Ibarra’s neighbors on Tuesday and rested their case Wednesday morning.

Prosecutor Sheila Ross told the judge that Ibarra encountered Riley while she was out running on the University of Georgia campus on February 22nd and killed her during a struggle. 

Defense attorney Dustin Kirby stated that Riley’s death was a tragedy and that the evidence was graphic and disturbing in the case. However, he said there was not sufficient evidence to prove that Ibarra killed Riley.

He now faces life behind bars as the sentencing is set for 12:30 pm ET on Wednesday.

Boston Mayor Highlights City’s ‘Sanctuary’ Status, Says She Won’t Cooperate With Deportation Of Illegals

SEE: https://www.oann.com/newsroom/boston-mayor-highlights-citys-sanctuary-status-says-she-wont-cooperate-with-deportation-of-illegals/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Over the weekend, Boston’s sanctuary city designation was highlighted by Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu, as Donald Trump, the incoming president, intensifies his plans to deport large numbers of illegal immigrants shortly after he enters his second term.

“The last thing we want is for people who are part of our economy, part of our school system, part of our community and the fabric of our city, to feel that all of a sudden they have to retreat into the shadows,” Wu said during an interview on Sunday, speaking about illegal aliens living in Boston.

When the city passed the Trust Act, which forbids Boston police from questioning, detaining, or arresting someone for non-criminal immigration enforcement purposes, Wu was a city councilor. Nevertheless, when the act was first enacted in 2014 and when it was updated in 2019, she backed it.

“The ordinance does allow police to cooperate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement on criminal investigations, like human trafficking and drug trafficking,” according to WBUR, a local Boston outlet.

Boston’s sanctuary status, according to Wu, is crucial to ensuring that undocumented immigrants in the city feel at ease and are thriving.

“We want immigrants to know that it is safe for everyone, to be able to feel comfortable reaching out for emergency services, to report a crime, to ask for help, and generally to be part of our community,” she said.

Trump’s deportation plans have also been resisted by other Massachusetts politicians.

According to Democrat Governor Maura Healey, Massachusetts police will “absolutely not” help with immigration enforcement. Attorney General Andrea Campbell informed reporters that she and other Democratic attorneys general nationwide are ready to file litigation against the next administration. During her tenure as attorney general, Healey filed around 100 lawsuits against the Trump administration.

Wu added more context to her view on the situation.

“Elections have consequences, and the federal government is responsible for a certain set of actions, and a city, no individual city, can reverse or override some parts of that,” she claimed. “But what we can do is make sure that we are doing our part to protect our residents in every possible way, and that we are not cooperating with those efforts that threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear and and having a large scale economic impact.”

Many illegal immigrants have been arrested by ICE in the Boston region in the last few years, being charged with crimes such as child sex offenses, and then released back into society.

This month, ICE declared that it had detained an illegal immigrant from Colombia who had been charged with luring a minor under the age of sixteen, distributing obscene pornographic material, and lascivious posing and exhibiting a child in the nude. According to the agency, ICE’s detainer request against him was disregarded.

ICE officers in Boston also made five arrests in March, including four suspected child rapists and a member of MS-13, a group of potentially dangerous criminals the officers claim were released due to local sanctuary policies that rejected detainer requests.

But it is unlikely that the Trump administration will be deterred by those states’ and localities’ lack of cooperation. President-elect Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, had a message for those jurisdictions this month.

“If you don’t want to work with us, then get the hell out all the way. We’re going to do it. What that means is, rather than sending 100 people to Boston, we’re going to send 200 agents to Boston. We’re going to get the job done,” Homan said.

Meanwhile, conservative social media users highlighted the clear “double standard,” arguing that Democrat detractors of illegal immigration deportation are hypocritical.

“Democrats say we should hate Trump and shouldn’t have voted for him since he’s a ‘criminal,’ talking about his lawfare court cases, yet when it’s a foreigner breaking the law who’s a REAL criminal and doesn’t respect the system enough to come here legally, they want to support, feed, and house them?? Make it make sense,” posted one Truth Social user.
