Stephen Miller Vows to Mobilize ‘Full Might’ of DHS, DOJ, DOD for Mass Deportations.

Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, stated in a briefing that the U.S. will utilize the resources of multiple federal departments to support President Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation program. “I can promise you that the full might of the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, and every element and instrument of national power will be used to remove with speed all criminal illegals from the soil of the United States of America, to enforce final removal orders, and to ensure that this country is for American citizens and those that legally belong in this country,” he vowed.

Miller confirmed the administration is committed to removing all criminal illegal immigrants from the United States, enforcing removal orders, and maintaining the integrity of American citizenship.

Miller outlined actions taken early in Trump’s presidency, referencing challenges inherited from the Biden-Harris government, such as a non-operational U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) previously focused on resettling illegal immigrants instead of removing them. “In 30 days, the president sealed the border shut, declared the cartels to be terrorist organizations, has increased ICE deportations to levels not seen in decades, and we are shortly on the verge of achieving a pace and speed of deportations this country has never before seen,” he stressed.

In just the first 18 days of the administration, approximately 11,000 illegal immigrants were deported. Plans are in place to expand detention facilities, with the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba already receiving illegals and ramping up to accommodate up to 30,000 detainees.

The administration reports a sharp decrease in illegal border crossings. Since January 20, apprehensions at ports of entry have reportedly dropped by 93 percent.

Trump Ends Biden-Era Protections for Haitians, Clearing the Way for Deportations.

The Trump administration announced on Thursday that it is canceling the 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals residing in the United States granted by former President Joe Biden. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem revoked Biden’s extension, meaning the estimated 500,000 Haitians covered by TPS will see the protections expire in August instead of next February. The move clears the way for federal immigration officials to remove the Haitians from the United States once their TPS designation expires.

In late January, President Donald J. Trump revoked the TPS designation for over 600,000 Venezuelan nationals and directed DHS officials to begin a review of other immigrant groups that received TPS protections under the Biden government. The extension of TPS protections to Venezuelans has been a point of controversy among American voters as a number of the migrants who received the designation are likely members of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua.

Haitian nationals have been eligible for TPS protections since 2010, when then-President Barack Obama provided the status to help those displaced from their homes on the Caribbean island following a devastating earthquake. The protections are only supposed to be temporary, and those receiving the designation are expected to return to their home countries. However, President Trump argues that TPS protections were abused under the Biden government, with many recipients remaining in the United States well past what would be considered a temporary relief period.

While the Trump administration has revoked the TPS extension, Sec. Noem has yet to decide whether the protections for Haitians will be renewed once the August deadline is reached.

French Senate Backs Bill Banning Illegals from Marrying.

France’s Senate voted Thursday to support a bill prohibiting illegal aliens from marrying in the country as the government intensifies a crackdown on illegal immigration. The measure—which the left labels unconstitutional—cleared its first reading in the upper house with 227 votes in favor and 110 opposed and is championed by immigration hardliners Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau and Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin.

The legislation now heads to the National Assembly, France’s lower house, for further debate. The move underscores a rightward shift in French politics, spurred by last summer’s legislative elections that left parliament deadlocked, with Marine Le Pen’s populist National Rally (RN) winning the most seats of any single party.

The French authorities aim to curb sham marriages and seal loopholes that illegal immigrants exploit to secure residence permits or citizenship through matrimony.

This push defies a 2003 ruling from the French Constitutional Council, which declared that a foreigner’s illegal status alone cannot block their right to marry. Green Senator Melanie Vogel slammed the bill as “a blatant assault on the Constitution,” while Socialist Corinne Narassiguin accused it of fueling “a toxic atmosphere of xenophobia and racism.”

The proposal gained traction after a northern French mayor faced legal action from a former mosque leader, whom he refused to marry in 2023. That leader was later deported. French law mandates that all marriages occur in city halls, amplifying the stakes of such disputes.

The Senate’s decision also follows a recent incident where prosecutors called in Beziers mayor Robert Menard for rejecting a 2023 wedding between a French citizen and an Algerian illegal, spotlighting the growing tension over immigration controls in France.

Mexico Reports 14,470 Migrants Deported by Trump.

President Donald J. Trump has overseen the deportation of 14,470 illegal immigrants to Mexico, according to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. As of January 20, over 11,000 of these individuals were Mexican nationals, while 3,091 came from other countries, primarily Central American nations such as Honduras or Guatemala.

U.S. Border Patrol is responsible for returning almost 500 migrants daily across the border into Mexico. In addition to Mexicans, other deported illegal immigrants include Chinese and Indian nationals. The U.S. has arranged illegal immigration flights to Venezuela, Costa Rica, and Panama, facilitating further travel for these migrants to their respective home countries. Additionally, the U.S. has organized direct flights to India to repatriate several groups of illegal immigrants from the subcontinent.

This increase in deportations corresponds with a decrease in new illegal immigrants encountered at the U.S. border, a trend influenced by agreements the Trump administration has reached with several Latin American nations to curb northward migration. Additionally, some foreign leaders have been urging their citizens to return home voluntarily.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has called for Colombian illegals to leave the U.S. and bolster the South American nation’s domestic workforce. Likewise, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness encouraged Jamaicans facing difficulties abroad to return, highlighting efforts to create a homeland they can be proud of.

Meanwhile, GOP leaders are planning to propose a bill to Congress seeking over $100 billion for border security, which would potentially enable the hiring of additional officers to expedite deportations. The current deportation operations remain limited by available resources and meddling from far-left activists who have tipped off areas with pending U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

Mexico Seizes $40M in Meth Following Trump Pressure on Drug Trafficking.

Mexican authorities have seized approximately $40 million worth of methamphetamine in a recent operation amid heightened pressure from the United States to combat drug trafficking. The operation occurred over the weekend in Sinaloa, a region notoriously linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. During the crackdown, authorities confiscated around 440 pounds of meth and more than 3,170 gallons of chemical precursors utilized in meth production.

This significant drug seizure occurred shortly after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to enhance border security following tariff threats by U.S. President Donald J. Trump. These tariffs were set to affect all goods exported to the U.S., Mexico’s largest trading partner. As part of an agreement reached on February 3, Sheinbaum pledged to deploy 10,000 national guard soldiers to Mexico’s border with the U.S., focusing efforts on blocking fentanyl trafficking. President Trump, in return, agreed to delay the imposition of tariffs for a month while monitoring progress.

The issue of drug trafficking has been a focal point for Trump, who moved to designate Mexican drug cartels, including the Sinaloa Cartel, as foreign terrorist organizations. This designation was one of Trump’s first executive actions as he returned to office.

The battle against drug trafficking is further supported by initiatives such as a covert American drone program to identify fentanyl laboratories in Mexico. The National Pulse has previously reported the Mexican Senate approved a measure allowing U.S. military personnel to train Mexican counterparts, extending their presence until the end of March.

Trump Border Czar Tom Homan Reports Significant Decrease in Daily Illegal Immigrant Encounters.

U.S. Border Patrol encounters along the Mexican frontier have dramatically decreased in the first two months of President Donald J. Trump’s second term in office. Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, revealed the drop in illegal crossings in a post on social media. In the 24 hours before February 17, agents reported encountering just 229 individuals across the southwest border, a significant drop from the over 11,000 daily encounters counted under the Biden government.

“In the last 24 hours the U.S. Border Patrol has encountered a total of 229 aliens across the entire southwest border. That is down from a high of over 11,000 a day under Biden,” Homan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984 and I don’t remember the numbers ever being that low. President Trump promised a secure border and he is delivering.”

Shortly after taking office on January 20, 2025, President Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration and securing the U.S.-Mexico border. Additionally, Trump has placed mounting pressure on the Mexican and Canadian governments to commit more resources to preventing illegal crossings into the United States and to curb the flow of illicit drugs.

The low encounter figures coincide with ongoing actions by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to apprehend illegal immigrants nationwide. These operations have targeted individuals involved in transnational gangs, suspected terrorism, and those with criminal convictions. Last week, Texas authorities arrested a Venezuelan national linked to the Tren de Aragua prison gang, who had a prior conviction for attempting to smuggle firearms from the U.S.

Craig Larrabee, ICE Homeland Security Investigations San Antonio Special Agent in Charge, stated that this arrest underscores law enforcement’s diligence in addressing criminal activities and ensuring community safety.

ICYMI: Federal Agency Squandered $10 Billion on Migrants in One Year.

A recent report by the watchdog group Open the Books revealed vast sums lavished on grants for migrants by the Biden-Harris government. These grants, managed by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement, totaled over $10 billion in just one fiscal year. The Office’s responsibilities include managing unaccompanied migrant children at the southern border and resettling refugees entering the United States legally.

The watchdog’s analysis of fiscal years shows a marked increase, with $2.4 billion awarded to nonprofits in FY 2021 and $3.4 billion in FY 2022. This spiked to $10 billion during FY 2023 before decreasing to $4.2 billion in FY 2024. This surge occurred alongside an escalating migrant crisis from 2021 to 2024.

The funds were reportedly utilized for various initiatives, including actively aiding migrants in saving for vehicles and homes while providing loans and legal assistance. Open the Books CEO John Hart criticized the spending, stating, “We’re hurting American taxpayers… How is it moral to ask them to pay the bill for someone who wants to come to this country illegally?”

This revelation comes as scrutiny of government spending intensifies, spearheaded by the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently retrieved $59 million initially allocated for migrant housing in New York City, terminating the employment of four Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) staff involved in the transactions.

Hearing for Illegals Suing to Prevent Being Sent to Gitmo Canceled After They’re Deported to Venezuela Instead.

A status conference scheduled for March 3 regarding the fate of three Venezuelan illegal immigrants who successfully attained a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) from a U.S. District Court preventing them from being sent to a migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay has been canceled. The U.S. District Court in New Mexico—which granted the restraining order—vacated next month’s status conference after President Donald J. Trump’s administration deported the three men to their home country of Venezuela instead.

“This matter is before the Court on Respondents’ Notice of Removal, filed February 11, 2025. Having considered the information provided in the Notice of Removal, the Court hereby vacates the status conference set for March 3, 2025,” an order signed by the Chief Judge on Friday reads. The judicial order goes on to note that while the Court had issued a TRO preventing the three plaintiffs from being removed from the United States to the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Trump administration opted instead to return them to their home country of Venezuela. The Chief Judge rightfully notes this negates the need for further proceedings.

In early February, President Trump announced that illegal immigrants considered too dangerous to hold in standard U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities—or, in some instances, too dangerous to deport to their country of origin—would instead be sent to a 30,000-bed migrant holding facility at Guantanamo Bay. The individuals now being detained at the U.S. military base in Cuba include numerous members of the extremely violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua.

Trump Says Vance Is Right, Europe Is Losing Free Speech and Overrun by Migrant Crime.

President Donald J. Trump has backed Vice President J.D. Vance’s “brilliant speech” at the Munich Security Conference slamming Europe’s eroding free speech rights and mismanagement of mass migration, saying, “I think it’s true; in Europe, they’re losing their wonderful right of freedom of speech. I see it.”

“Europe has to be careful,” the America First leader told journalists in the Oval Office. “[Vance] talked about immigration, and Europe has a big immigration problem. Just take a look at what’s happened with crime,” he added.

In some European countries, migrants and their second and third-generation descendants account for a majority of terrorists and an outsized share of criminals. For instance, data disclosed by Germany‘s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) revealed that migrants are now implicated in 58.5 percent of all violent crimes.

Vance had said in his speech earlier on Friday, “The threat that I worry the most about vis-à-vis Europe is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within.”

“Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making,” he added.

WATCH: Knifeman and Passing Deliveryman Attack Protestor Burning Koran in London.

A protestor burning a Koran near the Turkish consulate in London, England, was attacked by a knife-wielding Muslim on Thursday. A passing cyclist working for Deliveroo, an Uber Eats-like food delivery service, also paused to kick the protestor while he was on the ground.

The incident follows the assassination of Salwan Momika in the middle of a livestream in Sweden. Momika, originally from Iraq, had been hoping to claim asylum in the U.S., as the authorities were prosecuting him for incitement against an ethnic group for his own Koran-burning protest.

Video of the incident in London shows a white-haired man with a foreign accent rushing the Koran-burning protestor, slashing and stabbing at him with a knife. The protestor falls to the ground as he flees, and the knifeman begins kicking, slashing, and spitting at him, shouting, “That’s my religion; you don’t burn Koran!” A Deliveroo cyclist watching the scene also delivers a kick to the protestor, seemingly opportunistically, while he is on the ground.

A man claiming to be the protestor wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that he burned the Koran to “protest the Islamist government of [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, who has made Turkey a base for radical Islamists and is trying to establish a sharia regime.”

London’s Metropolitan Police have confirmed they arrested “a man” following an “assault in Knightsbridge.”

“The victim was taken to hospital with injuries to his finger. He did not receive any stab wounds. Officers attended within minutes and arrested a man on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and grievous bodily harm,” they state.
