Just Days In, Trump Makes Good on Deportation Promise

The reclaiming of America begins.

January 21, 2025, was one of the most eagerly-anticipated dates in modern American history. But the dizzying speed of the Trump revolution has apparently left opponents blindsided. Before Inauguration Day was over, President Donald Trump had signed more than 100 executive orders and the action isn’t letting up.

The astonishing flurry of executive orders are a sure sign of how much Trump has learned from the mistakes of his first presidency. Instead of trying to work within the established DC system, Trump is running a mighty D9 through the Swamp, splashing so much mud and swamp water that the snakes and alligators don’t know what’s hit them.

That includes the millions of illegal immigrants who have flooded the US in the past few years. Trump promised mass deportations and he’s already delivering.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in the first days of the Trump administration, has made for than 460 arrests of illegal immigrants, including those with criminal histories that include sexual assault, domestic violence and drugs and weapons crimes.

Information obtained by Fox News Digital, shows that between midnight Jan 21 and 9am Jan 22, a 33-hour period, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrests over 460 aliens that include criminal histories of sexual assault, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, drugs and weapons offenses, resisting arrest and domestic violence.

Agents arrested nationals from a slew of countries including Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal and Venezuela.

Arrests took place across the US including Illinois, Utah, California, Minnesota, New York, Florida and Maryland.

The new sheriff in town is also sending a clear signal that the days of ‘catch and release’ are over.

Meanwhile, ICE issued more than 420 detainers – requests ICE be notified when a national is released from custody. The nationals were arrested for crimes including homicide, sexual assault, kidnapping, battery and robbery.

The apparent decision to prioritise truly heinous criminals is not just a matter of protecting American citizens, it’s also smart politics. When, as they surely will, the pantywaists start whining about the ‘rights’ of ‘undocumented immigrants’, remind them that this is what they’re crying for:

– A Mexican national, Jesus Perez, arrested in Salt Lake City, charged with aggravated sexual abuse of a child […]

– A Jamaican national, Kamaro Denver Haye, arrested for “promote a sexual performance by a child less than 17 years of age and possessing sexual performance by child less than 16 years of age: possess/access to view.”

– A Mexican national, Jesus Baltazar Mendoza, convicted of 2nd degree assault of a child. He was arrested in St Paul.

– Colombian national Andres Orjuela Parra, who was arrested in San Francisco. He has a conviction of sexual penetration with a foreign object on an unaware victim.

– Six illegal immigrants in Miami from Guatemala, with criminal histories including battery, child abuse, fraud, resisting arrest, DWI, trespassing and vandalism.

In Boston, agents arrested multiple members of the vicious MS-13 gang and the subjects of Interpol Red Notices – issued for fugitives wanted either for prosecution or to serve a sentence in relation to serious ordinary law crimes such as murder, rape and fraud.

Still, this is just the beginning, if Trump is to make good on his election promise.

“Teams are out there as of today,” [Trump border czar Tom Homan] said on “America’s Newsroom” on Tuesday. “We gave them direction to prioritize public safety threats that we’re looking for. We’ve been working up the target list.”

Further, the administration is making a slew of moves to expand deportation powers and remove barriers to ICE’s operations.

A Department of Homeland Security notice, issued Tuesday, removes limits put on the power of expedited removal put in place in March 2022 during the Biden administration. Until the new memo, officials were limited in their use of the power to 100 miles of the border or recent arrivals.

Expedited removal allows for the rapid removal of illegal immigrants who have failed to meet the standard for asylum or have not requested asylum. The new power takes off the 2022 limits, allowing agents to remove those who are unable to prove they have lived in the US for at least two years […]

The memo comes a day after DHS rescinded a Biden-era memo limiting the places in which Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers could arrest illegal immigrants. Another memo ordered a review of the use of humanitarian parole to admit migrants.

That, in turn, came after a slew of executive orders signed by President Donald Trump that declared a national emergency at the border, halted refugee resettlement, ordered a removal process without asylum, ordered border wall reconstruction and deployed the military to the border.

Let us hope this is just the beginning of the 21st century Reconquista of the West.
