Remember how we were told that we need legislation to drastically reduce the flow of illegals/fake asylum seekers into the US? Well, really, we kind of did, something that would literally stop Biden from enacting all those programs and giving away all that money that enticed illegals to come. That horrendous Border Act Of 2024 would create more illegals. What we need was a president who would use existing laws and work to disincentivize people just showing up at the border. That would work to catch and kick out those here illegally. And we get

ICE leading CBP in migrant arrests, data shows

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is making more arrests of migrants than Customs and Border Protection since President Donald Trump took office, according to new data.

During the Biden administration, CBP led with arrests averaging 60 to 80 percent of all immigration-related arrests nationwide. But new data shows ICE has inverted this pattern during Trump’s second term, according to Transactional Access Records Clearinghouse (TRAC) data released Tuesday.

ICE is now the arresting agency for 81% of book-ins from February through mid-May, TRAC reports.

They give reasons for this, including

• Fewer people encountered trying to illegally cross the U.S. border from Mexico.
• ICE is being listed as the “arresting authority” for enforcement events that involve multiple agencies, including CBP.
• The Trump administration has prioritized arresting immigrants living in the interior of the United States, which would fall under ICE’s arresting authority.

In other words, the Trump admin is telling and showing illegals and fake asylum seekers to not come. The admin is not importing tons of people from other countries, not using the CPB One app, and more.

In December 2024, CBP officers made 14,240 book-ins, or 64%, and ICE officers made 7,882 book-ins, or 36%, of the 22,122 total arrests that month. In March, however, CBP made only 2,760 book-ins, or 16%, and ICE officers made 13,795 book-ins, or 83%, of the 16,555 arrests, TRAC reports.

That’s a huge flip. And, yes, I did vote for this.

Trump admin asks SCOTUS to authorize rapid migrant deportations to countries other than their own

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to intervene and allow it to quickly deport illegal immigrants to countries other than their own, Fox News has learned.

The request from the Justice Department comes after a lower-court judge, Brian Murphy, issued an injunction last month that halted the Trump administration’s attempts to rapidly deport immigrants residing illegally in the United States to third-party countries not their own. In the ruling, Murphy said the Trump administration must provide “meaningful” notice to immigrants it wishes to deport to third-party countries, so they have adequate time to challenge their deportation.

This could be a tricky request. DOJ lawyers better have their arguments ready, no games.
