BREAKING: Trump Signs Executive Order Suspending Physical Entry of Immigrants at Southern Border.

President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order suspending the physical entry of immigrants through designated ports of entry at the U.S. southern border. The order instructs the authorities to “immediately” turn back or eject anyone entering the country illegally.

“Through the exercise of his authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Constitution of the United States, President Trump is authorizing and directing the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Department of State to take all necessary action to immediately repel, repatriate, and remove illegal aliens across the southern border of the United States,” the order, posted to the White House website on Wednesday reads. It continues: “Through the exercise of his authority, President Trump has further restricted access to the provisions of the immigration laws that would enable any illegal alien involved in an invasion across the southern border of the United States to remain in the United States, such as asylum.”

Under the Biden-Harris government, asylum and parole programs were used to release hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into the United States each year, ballooning the number of unlawful foreign residents in the country into the tens of millions. Throughtout the 2024 presidential campaign, President Trump pledged to close the border and enact mass deportations to end the illegal immigration crisis.

The National Pulse reported on Tuesday on Trump immigration czar Tom Homan confirming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids are already underway, with illegal immigrants with criminal records or deemed potential threats to public safety being a priority.

NY Times Defends Cartels, Claims Trump’s Foreign Terrorist Designation Will Hurt Economy.

The New York Times is unwittingly exposing that the Democratic Party and their corporate media allies adopted a policy of toleration towards Mexican drug cartels—violent criminal organizations that control large swaths of Mexico’s private and public institutions and territory. According to the liberal newspaper, President Donald J. Trump’s recent executive order designating the cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs)—which opens them to U.S. military action and severe economic sanctions—is a more significant threat to the American economy than to the criminal groups operating in Mexico and the U.S.

“President Trump’s executive order designating Mexican cartels and other criminal organizations as foreign terrorists could force some American companies to forgo doing business in Mexico rather than risk U.S. sanctions, according to former government officials and analysts—an outcome that could have a major effect on both countries given their deep economic interdependence,” the New York Times claims. “Even more complicated, these criminal networks have extended their operations far beyond drug trafficking and human smuggling. They are now embedded in a wide swath of the legal economy, from avocado farming to the country’s billion-dollar tourism industry, making it hard to be absolutely sure that American companies are isolated from cartel activities.”

The story is a stark admission by the Democratic Party-aligned corporate media outlet that the U.S. political elite under the Biden-Harris government adopted a stance of toleration and complacency towards the Mexican drug cartels. For Wall Street and Washington, D.C., the potential of minor disruptions to foreign trade and the U.S. economy was not worth the American and Mexican lives that are lost every year to cartel violence and the illegal drug trade.

CARTELS AND THE ECONOMY.

While it is true that the Mexican cartels have extensive ties to key industries in Mexico, part of the justification for the Trump White House’s decision is that it opens a wide array of economic and military options to dismantle the criminal organizations. Additionally, the cessation of business relations between U.S. companies and cartel fronts in Mexico is critical in ending the violent criminal gangs’ access to funding and resources.

The cartels are heavily reliant on their American business partners as avenues for laundering their ill-gotten gains and multiplying their revenue in U.S. markets. Estimates for the cartels’ total revenue range anywhere between $19 billion and $500 billion annually—on the high end, that is just under two percent of the overall U.S. annual GDP. Although economic sanctions would impact more than just cartel revenue and investments in Mexican-U.S. trade, any disruption would still likely be minimal, with exports from other trade partners filling the void.

The National Pulse reported on Tuesday that President Trump intends to begin enacting broad, 25 percent tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods in February. The move is meant to force America’s neighbors to the negotiating table on trade imbalances and push both countries to crack down on the movement of illegal immigrants and illicit drugs into the U.S.

Trump DOJ Will Prosecute State and Local Officials Who Resist Immigration Enforcement Actions.

A new memo issued by President Donald J. Trump‘s Department of Justice (DOJ) is putting state and local officials on notice who intend to interfere, resist, or hamper federal immigration enforcement actions. Authored by acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, the document outlines the DOJ’s position that state and local sanctuary laws do not shield government officials from prosecution for interfering in federal actions.

Additionally, the Trump DOJ memo states that federal prosecutors who fail to enforce United States immigration laws will be referred to the department for investigation and potential prosecution. The DOJ’s civil division is also directed to identify so-called “sanctuary” laws that “threaten to impede” federal immigration enforcement actions and prepare court challenges to the state and local statutes.

“Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands and requests,” Bove’s memo reads. It continues: “The U.S. Attorney’s Offices and litigating components of the Department of Justice shall investigate incidents involving any such misconduct for potential prosecution.”

The National Pulse reported on Tuesday that the Trump White House border czar, Tom Homan, announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids are already underway. Homan, a former acting ICE director, said: “ICE teams are out there as of today. We gave them a direction to prioritize public safety threats; they’re what we’re looking for. So, we’re working up the target list.”

Afghan Migrant Murders Two, Including Toddler, in Stabbing Spree.

Police have arrested an Afghan migrant after a stabbing spree left a two-year-old boy and a 41-year-old man dead, with several others also injured in the attack in Aschaffenburg, Germany. The attack took place Wednesday, January 22, at a park in the center of the Bavarian town.

Enamullah O., a 28-year-old from Afghanistan, was arrested by police at the scene. He is believed to live in a local shelter for asylum seekers. Reports suggest the suspect had followed the daycare group of five young children before he struck.

Law enforcement is so far unwilling to offer a possible motive for the attack. Islamist Axel Rudakubana, the son of two Rwandan migrants, murdered three young girls and wounded several others at a dance class in Southport, England, last year—and a Syrian refugee stabbed multiple babies and toddlers and two adults at a park in Annecy, France, in 2023.

THE NEW NORMAL?

The Aschaffenburg attack comes after a wave of similar attacks by migrants in Germany in recent years. In 2024 alone, there were several high-profile stabbings by migrants, leaving multiple dead. In June, a 27-year-old Afghan migrant was shot dead in a town about 80 miles outside Berlin after going on a stabbing spree amid soccer fans from Germany and Scotland. Just a month prior, in May, another Afghan stabbed a German police officer to death at an anti-Islamization rally in Mannheim, wounding several others. Heinrich Koch, a 62-year-old local council candidate for the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, was stabbed in the same city just weeks later when he confronted a man tearing down election posters.

The most deadly attack took place in the city of Solingen, where a failed Syrian asylum seeker stabbed three people to death at a “festival of diversity.” He had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist group.

Homan: ICE Immigration Raids Are Underway.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids are already underway, according to President Donald J. Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan. During an interview, news anchor John Roberts put it to Homan that “roundups of criminal illegal aliens” appeared to have been “put on hold for a little while.” Homan responded, “No, it’s started.”

“ICE teams are out there as of today,” Homan confirmed. “We gave them a direction to prioritize public safety threats; they’re what we’re looking for. So, we’re working up the target list.”

Referencing a rumored major operation in Chicago, the border czar said this had been reevaluated due to the leak of the plan, which presented safety issues. However, he added that these concerns have now been “addressed.”

Democrat States Challenge Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order in Court.

Democrat attorneys general from 18 states have filed a lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump, challenging his executive order that denies birthright citizenship to children born in the United States to illegal immigrants. The legal action was initiated in the Federal District Court of Massachusetts, with San Francisco and Washington, D.C., joining as co-complainants. This lawsuit represents the beginning of what is anticipated to be an extended legal dispute over the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin (D), leading the lawsuit along with counterparts from California and Massachusetts, claims the executive order is presidential overreach, stating that Trump cannot unilaterally amend constitutional rights. Platkin emphasized, “Presidents are powerful, but he is not a king. He cannot rewrite the Constitution with a stroke of the pen.”

The executive order was signed by Trump on Monday, at the onset of his second term in the White House. Under Trump’s order, if both parents are immigrants, their children born in the United States are not automatically granted citizenship. The order argues that these children are not covered by the 14th Amendment‘s citizenship clause.

This interpretation challenges late 19th and early 20th-century legal precedent affirming birthright citizenship, with only a specific exclusion for children of accredited diplomats. However, there is division within the judiciary. For instance, Judge James C. Ho of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has shown some agreement with Trump’s perspective.

Nonetheless, this court’s jurisdiction does not extend to cases in Massachusetts, where the current lawsuit was filed.

India Agrees to Take Back 18,000 Illegals as Trump Wields Tariff Club.

The Indian government has pledged to help identify and deport approximately 18,000 of its citizens illegally residing in the United States. This action signals New Delhi is ready to submit to President Donald J. Trump’s anti-illegal immigration agenda to mitigate any potential tariffs on trade.

The U.S. has pinpointed these individuals for removal, with India committing to verify and expedite their deportation. These migrants hail predominantly from Punjab and Gujarat, states in western India.

President Trump, who has made cracking down on illegal immigration a cornerstone of his agenda, acted swiftly upon his Monday inauguration. Among other measures, he has moved to abolish birthright citizenship and deploy military personnel to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, emphasizing the urgency of his campaign promises.

H-1Bs.

In exchange for its cooperation on deportations, India hopes that the Trump administration will safeguard legal migration routes for Indians, such as student visas and the H-1B program. In 2023, Indians received nearly 75 percent of the H-1B visas issued. H-1Bs theoretically target “skilled” immigrants, although skeptics such as journalist Anna Slatz are questioning “why any country would actively lobby to get rid of their ‘best and brightest elite human capital’ if that’s what those people really were.”

Randhir Jaiswal, a spokesman for India’s Ministry of External Affairs, confirms, “As part of India-U.S. cooperation on migration and mobility, both sides are actively deterring illegal migration to foster more legal migration opportunities from India to the U.S.”

Despite India contributing only about three percent of America’s illegal migrant numbers overall, the increase in Indian migrants crossing America’s less-guarded northern border recently has been dramatic, with Indians accounting for around a quarter of all northern crossings. This surge is part of the reason President Trump plans to hit Canada with a 25 percent tariff at the beginning of February.

In 2022, the total number of Indian illegals present in the U.S. was estimated at 220,000 by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Trump DHS Reverses Mayorkas Memo, Tightens ICE and Parole Policies.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday announced the reversal of restrictions placed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations by former Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The changes involve rescinding a 2021 policy that designated certain areas as off-limits to ICE enforcement. The initial directive aimed to protect access to vital services by preventing ICE actions in locations such as educational institutions, healthcare facilities, religious sites, and social service establishments.

The newly issued memo suggests enforcement personnel use discretion and common sense when determining operational locations. The memo posits that broad guidelines are unnecessary for determining where immigration laws should be enforced. Some ICE agents expressed the view that this change will enable more effective action against illegal immigration, as they will no longer be restricted from operating near schools and other formerly protected areas.

Additionally, a second memo targets the use of humanitarian parole, which had been broadly applied by the previous administration to admit migrants en masse. This parole previously allowed several hundred thousand migrants, including nationals from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ukraine, and Afghanistan, to enter the U.S. The memo emphasizes that humanitarian parole should be applied on a “case by case basis,” aligning with the statute that critics claim has been misused.

The DHS memos instruct ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) leaders to review existing parole policies and identify any that may not comply with legal statutes. This includes developing strategies to modify, pause, or end any non-compliant programs.

These policy changes follow a series of executive orders signed by President Donald J. Trump just after his inauguration, which included deploying military forces to the southern border, terminating certain parole programs, and voiding birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. The orders also announced a national emergency and the renewal of border wall construction efforts, with the goal of drastically reducing illegal entry.

Migrant Caravan Heads to U.S.-Mexico Border Post-Trump Inauguration.

A caravan of roughly 2,000 illegal immigrants is moving through Mexico, heading towards the United States border. The group, comprising individuals from various countries, set off on January 20 from Tapachula, Mexico, coinciding with the date of President Donald J. Trump’s return to the White House. The illegal immigrants are continuing their journey despite President Trump’s moves to close the U.S. southern border and execute mass deportations of illegal immigrants already in the United States.

Moments after he was inaugurated on Monday, President Trump suspended the Department of Homeland Security’s CBP One app, which saw hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants paroled into the interior of the country under the Biden government. Additionally, military forces have been deployed at the southern border, reinforcing Trump’s commitment to enhancing border security measures.

The caravan from Tapachula is the latest in a series of similar mass migrations. Although this caravan is notable in size, it represents only a fraction of the overall illegal immigrant flow toward the U.S. border from Mexico. Historically, Mexican authorities often intervene to disperse these groups into smaller contingents. As a result, some illegal immigrants continue their journeys in smaller groups or make temporary arrangements within Mexico.

President Trump, who commenced his second term as the 47th U.S. President on January 20, has rapidly begun executing his immigration policy agenda. This includes an executive order to terminate birthright citizenship, a move likely to provoke legal challenges.

The President has also labeled certain Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and declared a national emergency at the southern border to secure funding for border wall construction without waiting for congressional approval.

Senate Passes Laken Riley Act.

The United States Senate has passed the Laken Riley Act by 64-35, mandating the federal detention and deportation of illegal immigrants who are arrested for crimes like shoplifting and other theft-related crimes. The bill will now head back to the House of Representatives to reconcile minor changes to the legislation.

An initial attempt to enact the legislation last year was blocked by Democrat lawmakers on Capitol Hill. However, following President Donald J. Trump’s landslide 2024 election victory and public opinion turning hard against illegal immigration, the bill gained renewed momentum and passed the House in early January.

Sponsored by Representative Mike Collins (R-GA), The Laken Riley Act was introduced following the murder of its namesake, Laken Riley—a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student—by José Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela. On November 20, 2024, Ibarra was found guilty of ten counts of intent to rape, felony murder, malice murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and aggravated assault. The murder of Laken Riley became a major issue during the 2024 presidential campaign and came to symbolize the Biden-Harris government’s failed border policies. The Georgia girl’s parents backed President Trump’s bid to retake the White House and restore U.S. border security and deport the unprecedented number of illegal immigrants allowed in the country by Joe Biden.

After taking the Presidential Oath of Office earlier on Monday, President Trump swiftly moved to close the U.S. southern border. The infamous checkpoint in El Paso, Texas, where Ibarra entered the country, was shut down. Meanwhile, President Trump also suspended the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) CBP One app, which Biden used to parole hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into the United States.
