Building a Durable Immigration Enforcement Network with 287(g) Agreements covering 39 states

Good news!

"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently reported a landmark milestone: the 287(g) program now has over 2,500 active Memorandums of Agreement covering 39 states and two U.S. territories.

These agreements authorize ICE “to delegate state and local law enforcement officers the authority to perform specified immigration officer functions under ICE’s direction and oversight.”

This explosive expansion (up from 1,000 agreements just a year ago) is a harsh rebuke of the [46th President's] administration’s devastating open-border policies. Local governments across the country are recognizing that state and federal cooperation is essential to restoring public safety and the rule of law. ..."

Foreign-born population plunges by 2.9 million under President Trump (but incl. naturalized citizens, green card holders)

Good news! Bravo! However, these numbers include not only illegal immigrants! How much of it was self deportation?

Still several millions to go to undo the mass illegal immigration under the senile, demented and lifelong pathological liar 46th President!

"The foreign-born population in the U.S. has fallen by nearly 3 million since President Trump returned to office, according to Census Bureau survey data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies.

CIS reviewed figures from the federal government’s Current Population Survey and found that the foreign-born population dropped by roughly 2.9 million between January 2025 and July 2026.

The group estimates that most of that decline came from illegal aliens leaving the country. ...

That category includes naturalized citizens, green card holders, temporary legal residents and illegal aliens. ..."

Apparently, according to other news sources (e.g. here), the city of Madrid said it were 150,000 protesters.

"In lieu of festivities, tens of thousands of people took to the streets Wednesday across Spain to protest the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ceuta, demanding solutions and blaming Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for his government’s handling of it.

In Madrid, authorities said some 50,000 protesters turned out. After the demonstration ended, an Associated Press journalist heard shots and explosions. Spanish newspaper El País reported that police fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds.

There were significant turnouts also in Barcelona, Valencia and Seville. ..."

US Border Patrol Arrests 95 Illegal Alien Truck Drivers In Yuma - AZ during four days in August with 82 of them having Commercial Drivers Licenses from CA & NY

Good, but shocking news! In one southern border city alone within four days?

"Federal authorities arrested 95 commercial truck drivers identified as illegal aliens during a multi-agency enforcement operation in Arizona’s Yuma Sector, with more than three-quarters carrying commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) issued by California.

The U.S. Border Patrol conducted the operation with local law enforcement partners from Aug. 10 through Aug. 14, resulting in 143 arrests involving individuals from 18 countries, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Of the 95 truck drivers arrested, 76 possessed California CDLs, while six held licenses issued by New York. CBP said the remaining licenses came from other states but did not identify them individually. ..."

Over 1,300 Criminal Aliens Arrested by ICE in Suburbs Surrounding Nation’s Capital in Two Weeks

Good news!

"Illustrating once again how sanctuary policies endanger American communities by harboring criminal aliens, more than 1,300 illegal immigrants with serious criminal records have lived freely for an unknown period in two suburbs surrounding the nation’s capital. Even after getting arrested by local police, convicted or serving time for violent felonies, the foreign perpetrators were released by open border officials rather than turned over to federal authorities for removal. The offenders include murderers, rapists, kidnappers, arsonists, drug traffickers, and members of transnational criminal street gangs such as the famously violent Tren de Aragua, Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and 18th Street.

In a significant development unlikely to receive mainstream media coverage, a federal crackdown recently arrested the offenders—1,328 in all—in the Washington, D.C. suburbs of Virginia and Maryland. Conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the two-week sweep, coined Operation Safe Community, comes on the heels of a similar roundup in Georgia that took more than 1,200 alien criminals off the streets. “When sanctuary politicians refuse to work with ICE, they force our officers to make these arrests at large in the communities–creating a more dangerous environment for our officers, the aliens we are arresting, and the general public,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Acting Assistant Director Patricia Hyde. ..."

The State Department paused immigrant visa appointments worldwide while consular officers complete training on tightened “public charge” screening

Canada’s illegal immigration pipeline across the northern border of the US

Compared to the massive illegal immigration that was reported while the senile, demented and lifetime pathological 46th President was in office the reporting about the illegal immigration across the northern border was sparse.

I bet there was much more illegal immigration across the northern border then is generally known. The numbers of apprehensions by the US Border Patrol appear to be very low possibly indicating a large number of unaccounted illegal border crossings.

"American independent journalist Tayler Hansen has created an internet stir with videos documenting a side of America's illegal immigration problem that received comparatively little attention during the [46th President] years. ..."

"... From fiscal year 2019 through fiscal 2024, Border Patrol apprehensions along the northern border increased, with sharp increases in 2023 and 2024. Apprehensions subsequently decreased in fiscal year 2025 and have generally remained consistent at these reduced levels as of April 2026, according to CBP’s publicly reported data. ..."

Trump administration will start revoking about 200,000 'bogus asylum claims'

Good news! Bravo President Trump! 

Has this information intentionally been leaked to the news media to encourage more self deportation?

There is little doubt that many immigrants try to abuse generous asylum rights of Western countries. Germany would be another good example.

If I am not mistaken, then, in particular, asylum rights were strengthened in Western countries in the aftermath of WW II (e.g. Holocaust) and during the Cold War (e.g. politically persecuted).

"The days of foreigners using temporary tourist and business visas to stay in the U.S. indefinitely are over.

In addition to launching a Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force aimed at curtailing the number of anchor babies, the State Department is poised to take action against foreigners who are attempting to use their nonimmigrant visas as stepping stones to asylum in America. ...

According to a pair of U.S. officials and State Department documents obtained by the Associated Press, Secretary of State Marco Rubio's department is set to announce the revocation of B-1 and B-2 visas that were issued over the past decade to foreigners who have sought or are seeking asylum. More than 200,000 foreign nationals reportedly could see their visas revoked at the outset.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau noted on Monday, "People in the US and all over the world are fed up with bogus asylum claims." ..."

"... Unless challenged or revised, the State Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 whose holders have sought asylum or are now seeking asylum, according to State Department documents obtained by The Associated Press and two U.S. officials. The action will be taken in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security. ..."

Is US Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Mn) getting deported? President Trump's post raises eyebrows

Headline of the day! However, this seems to be far fetched!

Deported to Liberia? If it is confirmed that she committed immigration fraud, then ... Why should she be exempted? Because of her husband and children?

"President Donald Trump has revived speculation about whether Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) might be visited by consequence for alleged immigration fraud. On Sunday, the president shared a provocative Aug. 11 report from Just the News with the headline "ICE refuses to disclose records on Ilhan Omar fraud probe, cites ongoing ‘enforcement proceedings.'" ..."

"History: Founded in 1822 by freed African-American and Caribbean settlers backed by the American Colonization Society, it became Africa's oldest republic when it declared independence in 1847." (Google Search)

"The U.S. began deporting immigrants to Liberia in an expansion of President Trump’s plan to send migrants to third-party countries.

 

A plane carrying an initial group of deportees landed in the country today, according to a spokesman for the Liberian government. The flight is part of a broader plan, announced by Liberian officials earlier this week, for the country to take up to 1,200 deportees in the next year.

More than 35 nations, including South Sudan, Mexico and Uganda, have similar agreements with the Trump administration."

Exposed How several US States unlawfully Gave Foreign Truck Drivers a License to Kill instead of a commercial driver's license

Bad news! Hopefully, some individuals involved will be held accountable!

More horror/nightmare stories out of California!

"In 2025 alone, investigators found 17 fatal crashes involving illegal immigrants who had been unlawfully granted CDLs and allowed to drive massive 18-wheelers. ..."

"Investigation reveals 30+ dead, 128,000 risky CDLs in one state, and tests in foreign languages 

WASHINGTON—The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) today released a new Investigative Report, License to Kill: Uncovering the Anti-Borders Takeover of the National CDL Program. The report exposes how anti-borders politicians and bureaucrats in multiple states have systematically undermined federal commercial driver’s license (CDL) standards. They have converted this critical public-safety credential into a permission slip for foreign nationals (who frequently lack English proficiency, valid immigration status, and basic driving competence) to get behind the wheel—often with deadly consequences. ...

investigation documents the scale of the problem:

• In 2025 alone, at least 17 fatal crashes involving foreign national CDL-holders claimed more than 30 American lives. ...
• California issued more than 128,000 non-domiciled CDLs between 2022 and 2025 (more than doubling annual output), and permitted applicants to take knowledge tests in Arabic, Chinese, Punjabi, Russian, and Spanish. First-attempt pass rates were as low as 22% for Arabic speakers and 26% for Punjabi speakers, compared with 63% for English.
• Multiple states issued multi-year credentials that extended far beyond the expiration of applicants’ lawful presence documents, granted non-domiciled CDLs to ineligible Mexican and Canadian nationals, created “temporary” licenses never reported to the national CDLIS database, and even produced credentials listing “No Given Name.”
• The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sanctioned California and New York for their noncompliance with federal CDL standards, and withheld hundreds of millions of dollars in federal highway funds from those states. In total, FMCSA scrutinized 25 jurisdictions for noncompliance, and required substantial corrective action.

How Western news media have spread disinformation about the sudden, mass illegal immigrant invasion of two exclave cities of Spain in Morocco

Today, I became for the first time fully aware of the huge scope of what went on in Ceuta and Melilla thanks to Tichy's Einblick.

The least part of the disinformation was to suggest the event happened in Spain! It did not!

Reportedly, within 24 hours an estimated 49,000 illegal immigrants descended on Ceuta (Spanish exclave located on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco). Most of them young men from the Maghreb and other African countries.

Were there no warnings about a pending invasion? Strange!

The exclave city of Ceuta (not Casablanca) in Morocco has only a population of about 89,000. Total area 18.5 km2 (7.1 sq mi).

Numerous crimes were committed. About 19 individuals died.

What did the government of Morocco know and do about this massive invasion? Who organized this invasion?

Apparently, during a similar incident in 2021, the Spanish intelligence service concluded that Morocco used mass invasion as a political weapon against Spain.

The right of free movement in the European Union is threatened as several EU countries indicated that they will close their borders in response to this mass invasion.

Will the US loose its measles elimination status since 2000?

Is this just another alarmism and hysteria article?

Of course, lefty, lazy naive or conflict of interest affected journalists do not ask following questions:

• How much is due to the massive illegal immigration during the term of the 46th President? 
• How much is superstition or demagoguery about vaccination to be blamed?

"... The overview: 2,300+ cases have been confirmed so far this year, as of July 24—with nearly all of the confirmed cases in unvaccinated or undervaccinated people, per a July 22 analysis from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s International Vaccine Access Center.

That number already outpaces last year’s total measles cases—and jeopardizes the U.S.’s measles elimination status, to be determined later this year. ..."

US Department of Homeland Security Fines 103K Illegal Migrants a Total of $84 Billion or almost $1,000 per day for illegal presence

Good news! Mind boggling! Serious stuff!

"The project has grown rapidly since April, when the department had levied fines against at least 65,000 migrants for at least $36 billion. The fines are set at almost $1,000 per day of illegal presence. ...

The fines are part of the multifaceted campaign by President Donald Trump to implement the deportation mandate he was given in November 2024.

The forced departure of economic migrants will help younger Americans win higher wages and cheaper rents and will pressure politicians and elites to sympathize with ordinary Americans instead of with employers and migrants. ..."

"... The Trump administration is aggressively deploying a potent tool to pressure undocumented immigrants [???] into self-deporting — civil fines that can total as much as $1.8 million.

More than 100,000 people have received letters from the Homeland Security Department informing them that they owe $998 for each day that they have stayed in the United States after an immigration judge has ruled they have no legal right to remain in the country.

Fines for failing to heed a “removal” order have been permitted since the passage of immigration legislation in 1996. Until President Trump, however, no commander in chief had imposed such penalties. The effort to do so in his first term ran into logistical obstacles and never gained traction. ..."

Software vendor disputes NJ governor's ‘glitch’ claim, says state approves foreigners on voter roll

“IDEMIA works with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, and has for more than 40 years, to support the process through which eligible individuals may indicate their interest in registering to vote when applying for or renewing a driver’s license or state-issued identification card. IDEMIA’s role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system,” IDEMIA said in a statement to Just the News. ..."
