The numbers don’t lie—and neither does the message coming out of Washington: immigration enforcement under President Trump is back with a vengeance.
Since returning to the White House in January, President Trump has unleashed a no-nonsense immigration agenda that has already yielded jaw-dropping results. According to a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security, federal immigration authorities have made 113,000 arrests and executed over 100,000 deportations in just a matter of months.
That’s not a typo. That’s what actual border enforcement looks like when the grown-ups are back in charge.
“This is exactly what the American people voted for,” one ICE source told the New York Post. “Point blank.”
And it’s not just about deportations—although those numbers alone would be enough to give every open-borders activist in D.C. a panic attack. Illegal border crossings have plummeted to levels not seen in decades. In March, fewer than 7,000 illegal migrants crossed into the U.S.—a 94% drop compared to March 2024 under the Biden administration, which saw a staggering 137,000 crossings.
It’s not complicated. If you stop inviting people to break the law, fewer of them show up. Imagine that.
According to DHS sources, most deportees are being sent back to Mexico, but the administration has also used the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to fast-track removals of certain violent criminals—particularly those with gang affiliations. One of the most aggressive examples came over the weekend when 17 foreign nationals tied to Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua and El Salvador’s MS-13 were deported directly to a Salvadoran maximum-security prison.
And yes, it happened despite a federal judge’s temporary restraining order. How? Because the administration used Title 8 legal authority instead of the Alien Enemies Act, legally sidestepping the court’s ruling. Call it a masterclass in knowing the law better than the activists trying to weaponize it.
Enforcement is also ramping up in sanctuary cities, where the administration is working around obstructionist local laws by using federal fusion centers and data-sharing to identify and arrest criminal aliens.
Meanwhile, back at the border, the Trump administration has re-deployed troops, shut down loopholes in the asylum system, and made it abundantly clear: if you cross illegally, you will not be allowed to stay.
The result? The so-called “Trump Effect” is real, and it’s sending shockwaves through the illegal immigrant pipeline. Migrants are no longer coming with a plan to stay—they’re second-guessing even showing up in the first place.
And for the American people, that means one thing: the rule of law is making a comeback.
