U.S. Deports More Violent Illegals, Including Tren de Aragua Gang Members, to El Salvador.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The Trump administration deported another 10 violent illegal immigrants to El Salvador this past weekend, where they will be held at the country’s CECOT prison facility used to house dangerous criminals and gang members.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, President Nayib Bukele, federal immigration officials, and 10 violent criminal illegal immigrants—including five members of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang.

📍 Where & When: The United States and El Salvador’s CECOT prison, the weekend of April 11-13, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “He’s taking care of a lot of problems that we have that we really wouldn’t be able to take care of from a cost standpoint. And he’s… been amazing. We have some very bad people in that prison. People that should have never been allowed into our country,” said President Trump regarding El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.

⚠️ Impact: The 10 new deportees join over 200 other violent illegal immigrant criminals that the Trump administration has removed from the United States and sent to El Salvador as federal immigration officials continue to enact President Trump’s mass deportation policy.

IN FULL:

Federal immigration enforcement agents removed another 10 violent, illegal immigrant criminals from the United States over the weekend, placing them aboard a government flight bound for El Salvador. The Trump White House has deported over 200 illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes or are identified as members of dangerous gangs to the Central American nation since reaching an agreement in February with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to house deportees in his country’s CECOT super-prison.

Senior administration officials indicated that five of the 10 illegal immigrants—all either Venezuelan or El Salvadoran nationals—deported to CECOT were confirmed as members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang. The other five deportees were considered active threats to American citizens, having a litany of prior convictions for assault, rape, robbery, and making terroristic threats.

The latest deportations come as President Trump hosted Bukele at the White House on Monday, with the aim of further solidifying the relationship between the United States and El Salvador. Ensuring continued access and use of El Salvador’s CECOT prison is a key goal for the Trump White House, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stating last week that thousands more illegal immigrants may soon be sent to the facility.

“I want to thank you for the great job you’re doing. I appreciate it,” Trump said during a press event with the El Salvadoran leader in the Oval Office.

Responding, President Bukele emphasized his commitment to assisting the Trump administration’s deportation actions, stating: “We’re very eager to help. We know you have a crime problem, a terrorism problem you need help with. If we can help, we can do it.”

Teen Boy Thrown to His Death from Apartment Building by Syrian Migrants.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: A 15-year-old boy has been killed in Hamburg, Germany, after being thrown from the eighth floor of a 14-story high-rise by a group of Syrian men who forced their way into his apartment.

👥 Who’s Involved: The victim was a 15-year-old Iraqi boy; according to Hamburg police. His attackers were four Syrian teenagers and young men (16, 17, 20, 20) and a 22-year-old Iraqi woman.

📍 Where & When: Hamburg, Germany, last night.

💬 Key Quote: “The bad thing is that children are growing up in Hamburg (and not only there) who don’t know anything else about life—they will increasingly perceive such conditions as ‘normal.'” — Sven Wendorf, Member of the German Bundestag (parliament).

⚠️ Impact: The home invasion and subsequent murder is the latest violent attack perpetrated by migrants in Germany, which has seen voters flock to the nationalist and populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as a result of migrant crime.

IN FULL:

A 15-year-old boy of Iraqi origin fell to his death in Hamburg, Germany, after a group of Syrian migrants forced their way into his apartment and pushed him from the eighth floor of the 14-story building. According to Hamburg police, a group of Syrian teenagers and young men aged between 16 and 20, along with a 22-year-old Iraqi woman, have been detained as suspects in the attack.

Hamburg police state that the attack took place last night, with firefighters and emergency personnel arriving at the Soltauer Ring apartment complex and discovering the victim at around 1:15 AM. First responders attempted emergency resuscitation on the teenage victim; however, according to police, the 15-year-old boy died shortly thereafter.

Witnesses told police that the group of Syrian migrants had forced their way into the teenager’s apartment and that a loud argument ensued. Reportedly, the situation subsequently escalated with the group of Syrian men attacking those present in the apartment, culminating in the 15-year-old boy being pushed to his death. At least three men, aged between 17 and 22, witnessed the attack and provided descriptions of the perpetrators to police.

While the attackers had fled the scene, Hamburg police were able to locate the group of Syrian migrants and the Iraqi woman based on the witness descriptions. After a brief manhunt, police found the suspects traveling in two taxis in Hamburg’s Hammerbrook district.

“The bad thing is that children are growing up in Hamburg (and not only there) who don’t know anything else about life – they will increasingly perceive such conditions as ‘normal,'” said Sven Wendorf, Member of the German Bundestag (parliament), in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

The National Pulse previously reported in March that a vehicle attack left two dead and dozens injured in Mannheim, Germany. Meanwhile, late last year, five people were killed and over 200 injured when a Saudi migrant allegedly plowed a car through a crowd at a Magdeburg, Germany, Christmas market.

Collusion: France Distributing Life Jackets to Illegal Boat Migrants.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: An audio recording revealed communications between the British Border Force and the French Navy about returning life jackets loaned to migrants crossing the Channel.

👥 Who’s Involved: British Border Force, French Navy, and migrants crossing the English Channel.

📍 Where & When: English Channel between the UK and France.

💬 Key Quote: “We can arrange to return your life jackets. Can you confirm how many are on board?” — British Border Force to French Navy.

⚠️ Impact: Record numbers of migrants crossing have been observed under Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

IN FULL:

New audio recordings between the British Border Force and the French Navy provide further evidence that France has been helping migrants looking to make the perilous journey across the English Channel. The French appear to be handing out life jackets to boat migrants—and Border Force, apparently unconcerned, is arranging to return them after escorting the migrants to English shores.

“We can arrange to return your life jackets. Can you confirm how many [migrants] are on board?” the Border Force can be heard asking their French Navy counterparts.

The revelation comes amid a surge of migrants attempting to cross the Channel. Recent data show that over 7,200 people have made the journey so far this year, setting a record and marking a 33 percent increase compared to the same period last year. The National Pulse reported in early March that one location recently saw nearly 600 migrants arrive by boat in one day.

Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government has taken limited legal action against those operating the boats. Government data highlighted that this year, only five individuals have been convicted for piloting migrant boats.

This European Country Has Started Sending Illegals to Detention Centers Overseas.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: Forty migrants with no permission to remain in Italy have been transferred to Italian-run centers in Albania, marking the first time a European Union (EU) country sent rejected migrants outside the EU to a country that is neither their country of origin nor a transit destination.

👥 Who’s Involved: The Italian government, the Albanian authorities, and migration experts.

📍 Where & When: Italian media reported on April 11 that the migrants left Brindisi, Italy, towards centers in Shengjin and Gjader, Albania.

💬 Key Quote: “It is a new, courageous, unprecedented path, but one that perfectly reflects the European spirit and has all the makings of a path to be taken with other non-EU nations as well.” — Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

⚠️ Impact: The legality of this action under EU law is in question, with concerns from rights groups over potential violations of so-called asylum rights. However, if successful, the initiative by Italy could set a precedent for similar actions by other EU countries.

IN FULL:

Italy has initiated the transfer of 40 illegal migrants to detention centers in Albania. It is the first instance of a European Union (EU) country sending rejected migrants to a non-EU nation that is neither their point of origin nor a transit destination. This move instituted by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s administration has raised legal uncertainties and attracted attention from leftist groups who claim it compromises the right to seek asylum.

The migrants embarked from the Italian port of Brindisi and are being housed in Italian-managed facilities in Shengjin and Gjader, Albania. These centers were initially intended to process the asylum requests of individuals intercepted in the Mediterranean Sea, although their purpose seems to be shifting under new decrees. The Albanian facilities came into existence through an agreement with Italy worth 800 million euros over five years, allowing a significant monthly number of migrants to be processed or repatriated.

Australia largely ended seaborne illegal immigration through Operation Sovereign Borders, which saw would-be asylum seekers transferred to safe third countries years ago, but Italy is the first European nation to implement a similar policy. Britain’s former Conservative government funded a scheme to transfer migrants to Rwanda but allowed it to be bogged down in lawfare for years, with the new Labour Party government canceling it as soon as they were elected last summer.

The measure parallels proposals from the European Commission advocating for “return hubs” across EU member states, although approval remains pending. Legal experts and “human rights” organizations are closely watching the situation, as Italy’s example may inspire similar policies in other EU nations, with the Netherlands reportedly considering transferring migrants to Uganda.

Italy is also curbing migrant inflows by strengthening its border policies. This year has seen a reduction in migrant arrivals to Italian shores, dropping to just under 11,000. Last year, Italy saw over 66,000 illegals arrive by sea. Primary arrivals in 2025 are from Bangladesh, Syria, Tunisia, and Egypt.

Immigrants on Terror Watchlist Granted Medicaid Benefits.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed that a group of 6,300 individuals admitted into the U.S. under the Biden regime were identified to have criminal records or were on the terrorist watchlist and subsequently able to obtain government benefits like Medicaid.

👥 Who’s Involved: The individuals were processed by Border Patrol and identified by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) during Joe Biden’s term of office.

📍 Where & When: These incidents have been occurring since at least 2023 within the United States.

💬 Key Quote: The Department of Government Efficiency stated that these paroles “have since been terminated with immediate effect.”

⚠️ Impact: Paroled individuals were able to receive social security numbers and file for work authorization. It was found that 905 individuals accessed Medicaid, 41 collected unemployment benefits, 22 received federal student loans, 409 received tax refunds, and several benefited from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payouts.

IN FULL:

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has identified a cohort of 6,300 individuals admitted into the United States without legal status who are listed on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or possess criminal records. According to DOGE, almost all of these illegal immigrants were admitted and paroled into the United States by the former Biden government.

Despite lacking official legal status, these paroled individuals filed for work permits and were granted social security numbers. Subsequently, they were able to obtain access to various government benefits, raising concerns regarding eligibility and oversight failures.

Among the identified 6,300 people, 905 were found to be registered for Medicaid, including four individuals on the terrorist watchlist, accruing $276,000 in expenses. Additionally, 41 individuals collected unemployment insurance worth $42,000, and 22 had federal student loans totaling $280,000.

Furthermore, 409 individuals received tax refunds totaling $751,000 in 2024 alone. Several have also reportedly accessed benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program, commonly known as food stamps. The investigation into the exact number of SNAP recipients continues.

The Department of Government Efficiency stated that these paroles “have since been terminated with immediate effect.” However, the revelations have prompted questions within the government regarding the rigor of current screening processes and the mechanisms in place for vetting individuals.

Court Sides with Trump, Illegal Immigrants Must Register Federally.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration, requiring anyone in the U.S. illegally to register with the federal government and carry documentation.

👥 Who’s Involved: Judge Trevor Neil McFadden, President Donald J. Trump, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem were central figures in this ruling, alongside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

📍 Where & When: The ruling occurred in a federal court and will go into effect Friday.

💬 Key Quote: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated, “President Trump and I have a clear message for those in our country illegally: leave now. If you leave now, you may have the opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream.”

⚠️ Impact: The ruling enforces a longstanding requirement, extending to non-U.S. citizens who must register and provide fingerprints. Noncompliance can lead to fines, imprisonment, or deportation.

IN FULL:

A federal judge upheld the Trump administration’s policy requiring individuals in the U.S. illegally to register with federal authorities and carry documentation or else face stiff financial and criminal penalties. On Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Trevor Neil McFadden ruled that a group challenging this requirement lacked the standing necessary for their claims to be considered. The decision will begin to take effect on Friday.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) emphasized that individuals without legal status who have been within U.S. borders for longer than 30 days must comply with this registration requirement. “President Trump and I have a clear message for those in our country illegally: leave now. If you leave now, you may have the opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said, reiterating that illegal immigrants should leave the United States before they are either forcibly deported or face other legal action.

President Donald J. Trump‘s imposition of the registration requirement and financial penalties for those who fail to comply is rooted in provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. The legislation outlines various measures to monitor illegal immigrants and encourage them to depart voluntarily.

Adhering to these provisions requires anyone aged 14 and older without legal status to provide their fingerprints and current address. Canadians staying in the U.S. for over 30 days also fall under this mandate. The Trump administration underscores the importance of these laws for maintaining national safety and security.

The registration concept isn’t new, having been applied more stringently after September 11, 2001. Back then, males 16 and older from select countries were required to register, a program that was later suspended in 2011 and ultimately dissolved in 2016.

The DHS has been proactive in notifying illegal immigrants since February, warning of substantial consequences for those who fail to comply.

USCIS Will Scrutinize the Social Media of Student Visa Applicants for Pro-Terrorism Views.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will now screen the social media histories of visa applicants to determine any support or interaction with terrorist organizations, particularly focusing on anti-Semitic terrorism.

👥 Who’s Involved: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and visa applicants, particularly students and those seeking permanent residency. Leftist groups on college campuses are also reacting.

📍 Where & When: The new screening measures are effective immediately across the United States.

💬 Key Quote: “There is no room in the United States for the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathizers, and we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here,” stated Tricia McLaughlin, the DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs.

⚠️ Impact: Hundreds of student visas have been revoked, prompting legal challenges and protests from leftist groups.

IN FULL:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has introduced a new framework for screening social media accounts of immigrants applying for specific visas and residency permissions. This move, effective immediately, is intended to identify applicants who support or engage with terrorist organizations connected to anti-Semitic activities. The new USCIS measures result from an Executive Order signed by President Donald J. Trump, tasking the agency with enhancing scrutiny of foreign nationals aiming to enter the United States.

USCIS’s decision aligns with the Trump administration’s effort to bar those who share views consistent with organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, and others linked to anti-Semitic violence from obtaining entry into the U.S., especially on student visas. Under this new guidance, applicants for lawful permanent residency and student visas will undergo additional layers of examination.

“There is no room in the United States for the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathizers, and we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here,” said Tricia McLaughlin, the DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, the parent agency of USCIS. Notably, the Trump administration has stated that the new policy has resulted in the cancellation of numerous student visas, drawing protests from leftist groups on college campuses.

Several foreign students who’ve had their visas and permanent residency status revoked are attempting to challenge the action in court. Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student and “pro-Hamas” activist, successfully obtained an order from U.S. District Court Judge Jesse M. Furman last month, preventing—for now—his deportation from the United States.

Likewise, Momodou Taal, a former student of Cornell University and a dual national of the United Kingdom and the Gambia, attempted to challenge his deportation after his visa was canceled due to social media posts urging the “destruction” of the U.S. However, Taal ultimately self-deported after a federal judge denied his request for an order barring his removal from the country.

Afghan Charged with Threats to Kill Nigel Farage.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: A 26-year-old Afghan, Fayaz Khan (a.k.a. Mada Pasa), faces charges for threatening to kill Reform Party leader Nigel Farage after menacing online videos surfaced last year.

👥 Who’s Involved: Fayaz Khan, Nigel Farage, Metropolitan Police.

📍 Where & When: Westminster Magistrates’ Court, London, Friday, April 11, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “Fayaz Khan, of no fixed address, was charged on Tuesday, April 8 via postal charge requisition with threats to kill and sending a menacing communication.” – Metropolitan Police spokesman.

⚠️ Impact: Khan’s court date marks a reckoning for threats against Farage, while spotlighting border security issues.

IN FULL:

An Afghan migrant who targeted Reform Party leader Nigel Farage with death threats in viral online videos is set to face justice. Fayaz Khan, a 26-year-old also known as Mada Pasa, was charged with threats to kill and sending a menacing communication, the Metropolitan Police confirmed. He’s due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, April 11, after a months-long probe sparked by his social media activity.

Khan, of no fixed address, appeared on the radar last year, posting dozens of clips flaunting his migration journey across Europe—culminating in a video in which he appeared to threaten Farage’s life. The Metropolitan Police arrested Khan on November 1, 2024, after the video triggered a report of malicious communications. He initially received bail.

“A man has been charged in relation to threats made against an MP. Fayaz Khan, of no fixed address, was charged on Tuesday, 8 April via postal charge requisition with threats to kill and sending a menacing communication. He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 11 April,” the Metropolitan Police confirmed in a statement.

“The charge follows an arrest made on Friday, 1 November in relation to a report of threatening communications and threats to kill towards an MP linked to a video posted on social media. The man was bailed pending further enquiries and subsequently charged as above.”

Farage, elected to Parliament for the first time last year and now leading national polls, has previously been targeted by activists throwing milkshakes and other missiles, but those responsible have never faced serious legal consequences.

Noem Confirms El Salvador Prison Ready to Accept More U.S. Deportees.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The Trump administration says it will continue to collaborate with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele to deport and house dangerous illegal immigrants in his country’s CECOT super prison. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated on Tuesday that thousands more illegal immigrants may soon be sent to the facility.

👥 Who’s Involved: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, Supreme Court justices, and the Trump administration.

📍 Where & When: Phoenix, Arizona, on a Tuesday morning, following a federal immigration raid.

💬 Key Quote: “You’ll see us continuing to partner with El Salvador. CECOT has the capacity for 40,000 individuals, and [El Salvador President Nayib Bukele] has said they’ll take as many as we want to send,” said Kristi Noem.

⚠️ Impact: The Supreme Court earlier this week ended a lower court’s pause on deportations to El Salvador, potentially leading to increased use of the Central American country’s prisons for criminal migrants.

IN FULL:

In the wake of a federal immigration enforcement operation on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is eyeing the relocation of substantial numbers of illegal immigrant criminal gang members to El Salvador’s CECOT prison. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem suggested, following the raid, that the CECOT facility can hold thousands more dangerous illegal immigrants and that the Trump administration is looking to ramp up expulsions under the Alien Enemies Act.

“You’ll see us continuing to partner with El Salvador. CECOT has the capacity for 40,000 individuals, and [El Salvador President Nayib Bukele] has said they’ll take as many as we want to send,” Noem said, adding: “There’s 14,000 there now.”

In addition, the DHS Secretary revealed that Bukele intends to build a second prison facility next to CECOT, which could be used to hold even more members of violent, illegal immigrant gangs like Tren de Aragua and MS-13.

President Donald J. Trump’s administration has used the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for expedited expulsions of illegal immigrants found to be members of Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and other violent criminal groups. Last month, a far-left U.S. District Court Judge temporarily halted the removals, prompting the Trump White House to file an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court. On Monday, the high court lifted the lower court’s restraining order, allowing Alien Enemies Act expulsions to resume.

Addressing the Supreme Court’s ruling and continued Democrat lawfare efforts against the Trump administration’s push to deport violent and dangerous illegal immigrants, Noem said: “We’re going to continue using that act in order to return people from these terrorist organizations to face consequences and be removed from our country.”

Meanwhile, the DHS Secretary also warned illegal immigrants that the Trump administration, later this week, will begin enforcing provisions of the Alien Registration Act of 1940. Under this law, foreign nationals who reside in the United States for more than 30 days must register with the federal government. Those failing to register will face severe financial penalties.

ACLU Launches Fresh Lawfare Attack on Alien Enemies Act After Trump SCOTUS Win.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to stop deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act (AEA).

👥 Who’s Involved: The ACLU, the Trump administration, two Venezuelan migrants, and the Supreme Court.

📍 Where & When: The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday in New York after a related Supreme Court decision on Monday.

💬 Key Quote: “The AEA has only ever been a power invoked in time of war… It cannot be used here against nationals of a country—Venezuela—with whom the United States is not at war,” the ACLU claims.

⚠️ Impact: The lawsuit challenges the use of presidential powers to deport designated “alien enemies,” potentially affecting over 130 illegals already removed from the U.S.

IN FULL:

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) initiated a new lawsuit against the Trump administration on Tuesday, seeking to halt the deportation of two Venezuelan migrants under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the litigation follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Monday that lifted a restraining order issued by Judge James Boasberg that prevented President Donald J. Trump from using the act to remove members of Tren de Aragua from the country. In addition, the Supreme Court determined that future challenges to deportation under the act must be filed with the lower court in the jurisdiction in which the migrant was detained.

In the filing, which asks U.S. District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein to block the deportation of two Venezuelan illegal immigrants, the ACLU argues that the Alien Enemies Act has historically only been deployed during wartime and not against foreign nationals from countries with which the United States is at peace. “The AEA has only ever been a power invoked in time of war, and plainly only applies to warlike actions: it cannot be used here against nationals of a country—Venezuela—with whom the United States is not at war, which is not invading the United States, and which has not launched a predatory incursion into the United States,” the filing contends.

Additionally, the ACLU accuses the Trump administration of violating the Supreme Court’s Monday ruling, which requires federal officials to provide those detained under the Alien Enemies Act with notice before they are deported. “Respondents seek to move Petitioners in secret, without due process, to a prison in El Salvador known for dire conditions, torture, and other forms of physical abuse—possibly for life,” the filing states, adding: “This has already borne out for over 130 individuals on March 15 who have lost all contact with their attorneys, family, and the world.”

The Trump White House has utilized the Alien Enemies Act to expedite the expulsion of illegal immigrants shown to be affiliated with violent criminal organizations and gangs like Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua and El Salvador’s MS-13. Those detained and deported under the law are sent to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).

Previously, Judge Hellerstein—presiding over the case—twice rejected President Trump’s attempts last year to move Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s so-called hush money prosecution against him to federal court.
