Trump: Biden’s NYC Migrant Hotel Funding was Diverted to Build ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump announced the opening of a new illegal immigrant detention facility, nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” in the Florida Everglades.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Florida officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made Tuesday during a roundtable discussion following a tour of the Miami-Dade Collier Training Facility in the Florida Everglades.

💬KEY QUOTE: “It’s known as Alligator Alcatraz, which is very appropriate because I looked outside, and that’s not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon,” said President Trump.

🎯IMPACT: The facility is expected to begin processing, detaining, and deporting illegal immigrants immediately, with some reportedly self-deporting already.

IN FULL

The Trump administration used Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) money allocated by the Biden government to house illegal immigrants in luxury hotels in New York City to construct “Alligator Alcatraz” in the Florida Everglades, President Donald J. Trump said Tuesday during a roundtable discussion after touring the facility.

Trump toured the existing Miami-Dade Collier Training Facility, which has, in just eight days, been transformed into a detention center designed to process, detain, and deport illegal immigrants, alongside Florida Governor and former Republican primary rival Ron DeSantis.

“It’s a great honor to be deep in Florida—the Florida Everglades—to open America’s newest migrant detention center, incredibly built, and you’re seeing that yourself,” Trump said. “That’s why I said, let the press join us on our walk so they can see what’s happening. It’s known as Alligator Alcatraz, which is very appropriate because I looked outside, and that’s not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon,” the President joked.

“But very soon, this facility will house some of the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet,” he continued. “We’re surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland, and the only way out is really deportation. And a lot of these people are self-deporting back to their country where they came from,” Trump said.

“Quite a few were amazed at actually the number we took the FEMA money that Joe Biden allocated to pay for the free luxury hotel rooms, where he’s paying hundreds of millions of dollars in New York City, and we used it to build this project,” Trump told reporters. “And Ron [DeSantis], it was just a little fraction of that money—the money they spent on that project,” he added.

Despite a bruising primary campaign against DeSantis, the President said he now rates his relationship with the Florida Governor as “a 10, maybe a 9.9 because there might be a couple of little wounds.”

Addressing DeSantis directly, he said, “You’re my friend and you’ll always be my friend. We may even have some skirmishes in the future. I doubt it, but we’ll always come back because we have blood that seems to match pretty well.”

Trump Is Now Detaining Illegals From Three Continents at Gitmo.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration has expanded its use of Guantanamo Bay to house illegal immigrant detainees from many countries, including China, Jamaica, Liberia, and even the United Kingdom, according to internal U.S. government records.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, U.S. immigration authorities, detainees from multiple nations, and officials from the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Defense (DoD).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with reports of expanded transfers beginning in recent months.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The worst of the worst will be held at the base,” President Trump stated.

🎯IMPACT: The Trump White House emphasizes the use of Guantanamo Bay boosts deterrence against future illegal crossings into the United States and that the facility is being used to house high-risk detainees.

IN FULL

The Trump administration has recently expanded its use of the Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba to house illegal immigrant detainees from a wide array of countries, including China, Jamaica, Liberia, and even the United Kingdom, according to internal U.S. government records. These detainees are held separately from the terrorism suspects who remain at the facility.

Officials have stated that most of the detainees are classified as “high-risk,” a designation given to migrants with serious criminal records, histories of disruptive behavior, or suspected gang affiliations. However, the administration has also utilized Guantanamo Bay to detain some migrants it deems “low-risk,” who lack significant criminal histories and are primarily held for civil immigration violations.

The decision to transfer detainees from regions such as Africa, Asia, and Europe to Guantanamo comes as the U.S. immigration detention system exceeds its congressionally funded capacity. However, the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ which is nearing final passage in Congress, would expand funding for federal detention facilities—along with increasing the number of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents—and provide greater capacity to detain illegals.

The administration’s use of Guantanamo Bay reflects its broader crackdown on illegal immigration. This includes the establishment of detention centers in other locations, such as the wetlands of the Everglades, where a facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” was unveiled by President Trump during a site visit on Tuesday.

The Department of Defense (DoD) reported spending $21 million on flights to transfer detainees to the Guantanamo base as of April.

Trump Orders Revocation of Naturalized Criminals’ U.S. Citizenship.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a directive urging U.S. Attorneys to prioritize the denaturalization of foreign-born criminals to address crime and national security threats.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate, and U.S. Attorneys.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The memo was issued in June 2025 and applies nationwide.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The Department of Justice may institute civil proceedings to revoke a person’s United States citizenship if an individual either ‘illegally procured’ naturalization or procured naturalization by ‘concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.’” – Brett Shumate

🎯IMPACT: The directive aims to deport migrants who pose a threat to national security, combat financial fraud, and target those involved in crimes such as human trafficking and gang activity, even if they have acquired U.S. citizenship.

IN FULL

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a memo directing U.S. Attorneys to “prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings” as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to combat crime and protect national security. The memo, signed by Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate, outlines categories of individuals who should be targeted for denaturalization, including those tied to terrorism, espionage, or the unlawful export of sensitive goods and technology.

Shumate emphasized the importance of these proceedings in a written statement, noting, “The benefits of civil denaturalization include the government’s ability to revoke the citizenship of individuals who engaged in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses; to remove naturalized criminals, gang members, or, indeed, any individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the United States; and to prevent convicted terrorists from returning to U.S. soil or traveling internationally on a U.S. passport.”

The memo also directs U.S. Attorneys to pursue cases against migrants who committed financial fraud against the United States, including Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan fraud and Medicare/Medicaid fraud, as well as those involved in violent crimes, human trafficking, and sex offenses. It further calls for action against migrants with criminal gangs, transnational criminal organizations, and drug cartels.

Two days after the memo was issued, the Justice Department announced it had successfully secured the denaturalization of a convicted distributor of child sexual abuse material.

Shumate has instructed the Civil Division of the Justice Department to “prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence.”

Trump and DeSantis Are Going on a Trip Together. Here’s Where, and Why…

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump will join Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday to tour a new illegal immigrant detention center at the Miami-Dade Collier Training Facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Governor Ron DeSantis, President Donald J. Trump, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The facility is located in the Everglades and is expected to be operational this week. President Trump is scheduled to attend the opening.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The security is amazing … natural and otherwise.” – Ron DeSantis

🎯IMPACT: The facility aims to streamline the deportation process and support the federal government’s immigration enforcement efforts.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump will travel to Florida on Tuesday to join Governor Ron DeSantis (R) for the opening of a new illegal immigration detention center at the Miami-Dade Collier Training Facility, also known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” The facility, approved by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is located in the middle of the Everglades and intended for use in detaining illegal immigrants. DeSantis emphasized its logistical simplicity and natural security features, including alligators and pythons.

“People say there are training flights that go in there, but it’s a massive runway. And, you know … there’s not a lot of buildings out there, but there’s a lot of concrete. And so these guys set up this whole thing within a matter of days,” DeSantis said. He added that the facility is “not defunct” and highlighted its natural barriers, which make it difficult for detainees to escape: “The security is amazing … natural and otherwise.”

DeSantis explained that the facility will help expedite the deportation process. “You literally drive them to 2,000 feet, put them on a plane, and then they’re gone. It’s very logistically simple,” he said. The existing runway allows the federal government to fly detainees out of the country directly from the site.

The White House announced on Monday that President Trump will join DeSantis for the opening of the facility. According to the Florida governor,  he spoke with President Trump over the weekend, stating that the America First leader is “very excited about doing it.” DeSantis has noted that Florida is assisting the federal government in fulfilling the voters’ mandate on immigration enforcement, saying, “We literally are doing what the voters who elected all of us have been demanding for many, many years.”

This Illegal Immigrant Soccer Coach Is Accused of Pedophilia and Killing a Teen Boy.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A 13-year-old boy, Oscar Omar Hernandez, was allegedly murdered by his illegal immigrant soccer coach, Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, before his body was dumped in a ditch.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Oscar Omar Hernandez, 13, and Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, 43, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Hernandez was last seen alive on March 28, 2025, in Sun Valley, California. His body was discovered on April 2 in Ventura County.

💬KEY QUOTE: “His soccer coach made soccer jerseys. He had taken other soccer teammates to help him, and that’s why my brother went.” – Alejandra Hernandez, sister of the victim.

🎯IMPACT: Garcia-Aquino faces charges of murder with special circumstances and additional charges related to the alleged sexual abuse of minors.

IN FULL

Oscar Omar Hernandez, a 13-year-old boy from Sun Valley, California, was allegedly murdered by his soccer coach, Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. Hernandez’s body was discovered on April 2, 2025, in Ventura County, days after his family reported him missing. The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the cause of death late last week to be acute alcohol poisoning.

Garcia-Aquino, 43, had been under investigation for two other alleged sexual assaults and was charged with murder in April. Prosecutors allege the murder occurred during the commission or attempted commission of lewd acts with a child, making him eligible for the death penalty. Hernandez’s family stated that the boy had been dropped off at a railway station to assist Garcia-Aquino with making soccer jerseys in Lancaster.

According to Hernandez’s sister, Alejandra, the coach had taken other teammates to help him with similar tasks in the past. “His soccer coach made soccer jerseys. He had taken other soccer teammates to help him, and that’s why my brother went,” Alejandra Hernandez said. On the night of the disappearance, Garcia-Aquino answered a call from the family, claiming that Hernandez was unable to speak because his hands were full of paint. The coach later told the family he had dropped the boy off, but Hernandez never returned home.

Garcia-Aquino also faces charges stemming from an alleged sexual assault of a 16-year-old boy in Palmdale in February 2022. In that case, he reportedly befriended a family and allowed their son to stay at his residence, where the alleged assault occurred. Additionally, Los Angeles Police Department investigations have linked him to another child sexual abuse case from 2022.

Despite Gacia-Aquino being an illegal immigrant, a number of corporate media outlets have attempted to portray him simply as a “youth soccer coach.” This mirrors similar attempts to obfuscate criminal allegations against fellow Salvadoran illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia—an alleged MS-13 gang member, domestic abuser, and human trafficker—who was described at the time of arrest earlier this year as simply a “Maryland man” or a “Maryland father.”

Garcia-Aquino pleaded not guilty to the murder charges, including the special circumstances allegation, on June 18. He is scheduled to appear in court again in August.

Texas Bans Land Purchases by China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed into law a bill restricting property purchases by individuals or entities from adversarial nations.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and entities from nations like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Signed on June 20, effective September 1, in the state of Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I signed SB 17 which is the toughest ban in America on preventing the sale of our land and other property to individuals and companies from China, Iran, North Korea & Russia.” – Gov. Greg Abbott

🎯IMPACT: The law aims to enhance national security by restricting property acquisitions from nations deemed adversarial.

IN FULL

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed Senate Bill 17 into law, which prohibits individuals or entities from nations deemed adversarial from purchasing land or property in the state. The law, signed on June 20, will go into effect on September 1. It specifically targets nations identified by the U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) as posing national security risks in recent Annual Threat Assessments.

“I signed SB 17 which is the toughest ban in America on preventing the sale of our land and other property to individuals and companies from China, Iran, North Korea & Russia,” Gov. Abbott announced in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

The legislation highlights China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea as examples of adversarial nations listed in the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment. Under the law, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is authorized to investigate potential violations, which would be classified as felonies.

The bill applies to various types of property, including agricultural land, groundwater, mines or quarries, commercial and industrial properties, and residential properties. However, exemptions are made for U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and individuals legally residing in the U.S. who intend to purchase a primary residence.

Criticism has come primarily from immigrant interest groups—including Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC), which has lobbied against federal programs like the China Initiative cracking down on individuals tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—who have expressed concern over potential racial profiling. The group stated that the bill “creates an overly broad net that places innocent foreign nationals at risk of racial profiling.”

Meanwhile, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs (D) vetoed a similar bill earlier in June, arguing that the legislation lacked clear implementation criteria and opened the door to arbitrary enforcement. “Today, I vetoed Senate Bill 1109. Improvements to systems that protect our infrastructure are important. However, this legislation is ineffective at counter-espionage and does not directly protect our military assets,” Hobbs said.

82-Year-Old Woman Dies Following Illegal Alien Terror Attack.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: An 82-year-old woman, Karen Diamond, has died following a Molotov cocktail attack by an illegal alien against a peaceful demonstration in Boulder, Colorado.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Karen Diamond, suspect Mohamed Soliman, and 28 other victims of the attack.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The attack took place on June 1, 2023, during a demonstration urging the release of Israeli hostages in front of the Boulder County Courthouse.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This horrific attack has now claimed the life of an innocent person who was beloved by her family and friends. Our hearts are with the Diamond family during this incredibly difficult time.” – Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty

🎯IMPACT: Mohamed Soliman now faces multiple charges, including two counts of first-degree murder, federal hate crimes, and over 100 state criminal charges.

IN FULL

Karen Diamond, 82, has died from the severe injuries she sustained during a Molotov cocktail attack at a peaceful demonstration in Boulder, Colorado. The Boulder County District Attorney’s Office announced her death on Monday, along with additional charges against the suspect, Egyptian illegal alien Mohamed Soliman.

Soliman now faces two counts of first-degree murder related to Diamond’s death, in addition to 12 federal hate crimes and over 100 state criminal charges. “This horrific attack has now claimed the life of an innocent person who was beloved by her family and friends. Our hearts are with the Diamond family during this incredibly difficult time,” Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said in a statement. “Our office will fight for justice for the victims, their loved ones, and the community.”

The attack, described by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as an “act of terror,” occurred on June 1, 2023, in front of the Boulder County Courthouse, where Soliman allegedly disguised himself as a gardener and threw Molotov cocktails at a group called Run for Their Lives. The group had been peacefully walking weekly for nearly two years to raise awareness about hostages taken during the Hamas terror raid against Israel on October 7, 2023.

According to authorities, Soliman shouted “Free Palestine!” during the attack, which he admitted to planning for over a year. The victims, ranging in age from 25 to 88, included 13 people who were physically injured. Diamond’s death brings the number of fatalities to two. The Boulder Jewish Community described Diamond as “a cherished member of our community, someone whose warmth and generosity left a lasting impact on all who knew her.”

Soliman faces charges including 52 counts of attempted first-degree murder, eight counts of first-degree assault, and 18 counts of attempted first-degree murder, among others. He pleaded not guilty to federal hate crimes on Friday and is scheduled to appear in state court on July 15.

Following the incident, President Donald J. Trump said, “Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland.”

Mayor Blames Hot Weather for Migrants Molesting Minors at Public Pool.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A group of underage girls was sexually assaulted by four Syrian migrant men at the Barbarossabad swimming pool in Gelnhausen, Germany.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Four Syrian men, aged 18 to 28, were arrested, and at least nine girls, aged 11 to 17, came forward as victims. A fifth suspect is still at large.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incidents occurred at the Barbarossabad swimming pool in Gelnhausen, Germany, during a hot summer day.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Of course, it’s always high temperatures, and sometimes tempers are frayed,” said Mayor Christian Litzinger, of the notionally right-wing Christian Democratic Union (CDU) formerly led by Angela Merkel.

🎯IMPACT: The suspects were arrested and banned from the pool. The incident highlights ongoing issues of violence and sexual assaults in German swimming pools linked to migrants.

IN FULL

In Gelnhausen, Germany, a group of underage girls was sexually assaulted at the Barbarossabad swimming pool by four Syrian nationals. The victims, aged between 11 and 17, reported being groped and molested in the lazy river area. Despite complaints to a lifeguard, no immediate action was taken, and the police were only called after multiple incidents were reported.

The suspects, aged 18 to 28, are reportedly from the same family in the Main-Kinzig district. They were arrested, charged, and banned from the pool. Mayor Christian Litzinger of the notionally center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), formerly led by Angela Merkel, downplayed the assaults with reference to hot weather, saying, “Of course, it’s always high temperatures, and sometimes tempers are frayed.”

Alice Weidel, co-leader of the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, called for immediate deportations of the suspects. “Sexual harassment of girls cannot be tolerated. Immediate deportations of the perpetrators must be initiated,” she wrote on social media in response to the incident.

This incident is part of a broader trend in Germany and neighboring European countries, which have seen an influx of Syrians. Swimming pools have increasingly become hotspots for violence and sexual assaults, and have now been an ongoing issue for years. Employees and officials have cited the involvement of migrant groups in many of these cases, leading to increased security measures, including the deployment of police at some facilities.

Previous years have seen swimming pool incidents, including mass brawls and attacks on lifeguards. Some pools have even been shut down indefinitely due to safety concerns. Critics have accused the media and officials of downplaying these incidents, with some attributing the violence to external factors such as hot weather or cultural differences.

DHS Is Paving the Way for the Deportation of 500,000 Haitians.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Haitian nationals currently under TPS.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced Friday, takes effect September 2.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary.” – DHS spokesman

🎯IMPACT: More than 500,000 Haitians with TPS are affected and encouraged to use DHS resources to return to Haiti.

IN FULL

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, which will take effect on September 2. A notice from DHS stated that Secretary Kristi Noem had determined the situation in Haiti no longer justified the continuation of TPS for migrants from the country. The decision was based on an assessment that environmental conditions in Haiti had improved sufficiently for safe return.

“This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary,” a DHS spokesman said, adding: “The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department’s resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible.”

Currently, more than 500,000 Haitians hold TPS. Consequently, Sec. Noem’s decision clears the way for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to begin deportations after the September deadline. In the meantime, DHS is encouraging Haitians impacted by the TPS determination to utilize existing resources for their return to Haiti.

Haitians granted TPS by the former Biden government became a point of political contention during the 2024 election. Large numbers of Haitian nationals were settled in small towns across the United States, resulting in cultural clashes, increased crime, and consternation among American citizens.

This Adult Illegal Alien Lied His Way Into High School. Now He’s Facing Gun Charges.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A federal grand jury indicted a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra, on charges including unlawful possession of a firearm and lying about his age to enroll in high school.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra, the Department of Justice (DOJ), Perrysburg Police Department, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Labrador Sierra resided in Perrysburg, Ohio, and was arrested during a traffic stop on Interstate 75. The indictment came this week.

🎯IMPACT: If convicted, Labrador Sierra faces up to 15 years in prison for firearm possession, 10 years for false statements, and five years for document fraud.

IN FULL

Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra, a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on four counts, including possession of a firearm by an alien unlawfully in the U.S. and making false statements. Labrador Sierra had posed as a 16-year-old to attend high school in Perrysburg, Ohio, until his arrest last month.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) stated that Labrador Sierra submitted false information to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to obtain Temporary Protective Status (TPS) and Employment Authorization Documents in 2024 and 2025. He also allegedly falsified information on federal forms to purchase a Taurus G3C 9mm semiautomatic pistol, which he was prohibited from owning as an illegal alien.

Detectives discovered that Labrador Sierra, who enrolled in high school as a 16-year-old unaccompanied minor, was actually a 24-year-old man. He had used fraudulent documents to enroll and participate in school activities, including junior varsity soccer and swimming.

The school district confirmed that Labrador Sierra had been enrolled under federal and state guidelines for unaccompanied minors, obtaining a state-issued driver’s license and social security number during his time at Perrysburg High School. According to former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) frontman Elon Musk, millions of non-citizens received Social Security numbers last year.

Guardianship of Labrador Sierra had been granted to a Perrysburg family, who later discovered his true age and reported it to authorities.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed that Labrador Sierra overstayed a visa after arriving in the U.S. in 2019. He was ultimately arrested during a traffic stop on Interstate 75. Labrador Sierra now faces significant prison time if convicted of the charges brought against him.
