The left is furious that the Trump administration is officially enforcing (effective date: June 25) the longstanding law that truck drivers must be proficient in English.
The left claims that you don’t need to speak English to drive; this must be bigotry against immigrants, or against Spanish speakers, or against the uneducated, or against certain ethnicities.
A growing number of people are leaving voluntarily rather than wait to be thrown out in President Trump’s crackdown — or risk prison in El Salvador
For Alexandra Hernández the American dream lasted less than four months.
The Venezuelan crossed the US southern border on January 18 and applied for humanitarian protection using a legal route provided by the Biden administration.
Her asylum hearing was scheduled for 2026 and she settled in Denver, hoping to work as a cleaner. But soon the news on Spanish-language social media started to frighten her. Two days after she entered the country, President Trump took office again. He announced executive orders targeting America’s millions of undocumented migrants.
Donald Trump ran in 2024 promising “Mass Deportations Now,” a rallying cry that his base responded to enthusiastically. Since his second inauguration, he has made immigration policy the centrepiece of his administration. As a result, the U.S. is acting outside the existing legal process to arbitrarily deport U.S. residents to places like Panama and El Salvador, where they face severe conditions and from which there may be no release. Reports of plans for similar deportations to Rwanda and Libya raise the question of what exactly is happening and where these detention policies might lead.
Based on the words coming out of Mr. Trump’s mouth and my research into the history of mass civilian detention around the world, what he and those who help shape his policies want is unlimited power. If they can establish rendition and arbitrary overseas detention for one group – for example, those who are declared to be Tren de Aragua or MS-13 gang members – history shows that they will likely expand the categories of people they can subject to the same treatment. The administration has already declared its interest in subjecting U.S. citizens to detention in El Salvador.
One 24-year-old Venezuelan managed to get protected status and many freebies by pretending to be a 16-year-old high school student in Ohio.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation.
The court’s order, with only one noted dissent, puts on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month. The justices provided no rationale, which is common in emergency appeals.
A convicted criminal who arrived on a small boat was given a taxpayer-funded flat — and used it to orchestrate the transport of thousands more
When officers from the National Crime Agency raided the suburban London apartment of Ahmed Ebid, they discovered two notebooks. One appeared to be a ledger of payments, while the other was stuffed with longitude and latitude co-ordinates in the Mediterranean. The discovery in June 2023 would help the NCA to unmask Ebid as one of Britain’s most prolific and ruthless people smugglers.
On Monday, he is expected to receive a long prison sentence at Southwark crown court in south London, after becoming the first person in Britain to be convicted of smuggling migrants across the Mediterranean.
Another American woman has been added to the ever-lengthening list of illegal alien criminals’ victims, leaving her two children without a mother.
Larisha Sharell Thompson was murdered by six illegal aliens, ages 13 to 21 years, who had just tried to commit a robbery too. It is unclear why they killed her except that they were obviously completely lawless young thugs. Don’t expect Democrats to be as empathetic to Larisha as they were and are to criminals like George Floyd, Jordan Neely, and Karmelo Anthony — when black Americans are murdered by illegal aliens, Democrats look another way.
The Théâtre de la Gaîté Lyrique in central Paris is on the brink of bankruptcy after a nearly 100-day illegal occupation by migrants—many of them falsely claiming to be minors—left the historic venue with over €3 million in financial losses. Despite co-funding the theatre and owning the property, Paris’ Socialist-run city council has now said it will not provide any additional economic support to help it recover.
In the past four months, the Pentagon has sent thousands of active-duty combat troops and armored Stryker combat vehicles to the southwestern border to confront what President Trump declared on his first day in office was an “invasion” of migrants, drug cartels and smugglers.
That’s not all. The military has also dispatched U-2 spy planes, surveillance drones, helicopters and even two Navy warships to surveil the borders and coasts round the clock.
The buildup of forces underscores how Mr. Trump is breaking with his predecessors’ practice of mostly limiting deployments along the U.S.-Mexico border to small numbers of active-duty soldiers and reservists. About 2,500 active-duty troops were on the border at the end of the Biden administration. Now there are about 8,600.
It’s working so naturally the NYTimes is upset.
A South American gang with many illegal alien members that cropped up to rival the infamous Tren de Aragua is victimizing vulnerable rural Americans, warns crime expert Robert Charles.
“I’ve read some of the public accounts that suggest that this offshoot group is trying to distinguish itself by being more violent,” Charles, who was formerly an assistant secretary of state at the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, said of Anti-Tren. With the recent charges against almost 20 accused members of the gang by the Trump Justice Department, the new threat has garnered more attention, Western Journal explained.
The president’s migrant crackdown has fueled an increasingly angry atmosphere – and some border agents are praising ‘Daddy Trump’
Osvaldo Ruiz and a friend were hiking through an isolated stretch of mountains, just a few miles from the sprawling US-Mexico border wall that fringes San Diego, when the federal agent stopped them in their tracks.
It was late March, mid-morning, and Ruiz, who works for a local non-profit called Border Angels, was busy. That day he was scouting a new route where his group could leave life-saving water and food for the sporadic waves of migrants who still cross through these desolate borderlands. Ruiz and his friend, a fellow Border Angels member, already knew they were being watched. A helicopter had been buzzing overhead for the past several hours, tracking them.
Shortly after the duo sat down for a mid-hike coffee break, the border patrol agent appeared on the trail. Four or five other officers lagged behind him in the distance.
I don’t make the rules here, folks. These are narratives and conventions made up by Democrats, so it’s even more satisfying when they inevitably break them since these awful people have no principles or moral core. Yesterday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and other Democrats tried to lead an insurrection at Delaney Detention Hall, a facility housing illegal aliens, in Newark, New Jersey. The footage is wild
So let me get this straight…
If I attempted to break into an ICE detention facility and started shoving federal agents, I’d go to jail IMMEDIATELY.
But when a Democrat does it, they go on MSBNC and claim America is now an authoritarian state.

People smugglers are laughing at the British Labour government’s pledge to ‘smash the gangs’ and are hoping for a particularly busy summer of Channel crossings thanks to special ‘season’ discounts.
Migrants will be able to pay thousands of pounds less to get from France to the UK via a small boat, reports said this week. So far this year, the number of crossings has already passed 10,000—and at the earliest point of the year since records began—which doesn’t bode well for daily figures during the summer.
Asylum claims doubled at a Quebec border crossing in April as the Trump administration seeks to strip legal protections from hundreds of thousands of migrants in the United States.
There were 2,733 asylum claims last month at the Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle port of entry, south of Montreal. That’s up from 1,356 claims in March and 755 in February, according to data from the Canada Border Services Agency.
Become the 51st State. Start the deportations. Problem solved.
Huge crowds have staged anti-migrant protests in Ireland amid growing anger at the government over an increase in arrivals and asylum claims.
Over 1,000 are believed to have joined a march in County Donegal’s Letterkenny over the weekend, with several hundred having organised a counter-protest.
Ireland has seen anti-migrant anger growing in recent months, over the sheer number of asylum seekers being housed across the nation. Many of them are unable to get accommodation, forcing them to sleep in tents which has further incited anger.
