Trump Admin Catches MS-13 Leaders Released Into U.S. Under Biden.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Federal law enforcement arrested two illegal immigrant MS-13 gang leaders during a raid in Omaha, Nebraska, on Wednesday. Both men are wanted by El Salvador’s government for numerous violent crimes.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Melvin Alejandro Varela Pérez, a.k.a. Payaso, Rene Escobar-Ochoa, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), other federal law enforcement agencies, MS-13, the government of El Salvador, INTERPOL, and the former Biden government.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The two MS-13 gang leaders were arrested on Wednesday, July 9, 2025; both were detained and paroled into the United States by the former Biden government.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The Biden Administration allowed two ringleaders of MS-13, one of the most violent gangs in the world, straight into our country. One of these depraved aliens is on El Salvador’s 100 Most Wanted Fugitives list and is wanted for five counts of murder. The other has an INTERPOL notice for drug trafficking.” — DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

🎯IMPACT: Both men are now in ICE custody while the agency coordinates for them to be returned to El Salvador.

Two illegal immigrant MS-13 gang kingpins were arrested during a federal raid in Omaha, Nebraska, on Wednesday, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Melvin Alejandro Varela Pérez—also known as Payaso—and Rene Escobar-Ochoa are both wanted by the Salvadoran government and are accused of numerous murders, conspiracy to commit murder, and drug trafficking. Pérez is listed on El Salvador’s 100 Most Wanted, and Escobar-Ochoa is the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice. Concerningly, DHS states that despite the warrants and Red Notice, both men were paroled by the former Biden government into the United States after being detained while illegally crossing the U.S. southern border.

“The Biden Administration allowed two ringleaders of MS-13, one of the most violent gangs in the world, straight into our country,” said Tricia McLaughlin, DHS’s Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs. “One of these depraved aliens is on El Salvador’s 100 Most Wanted Fugitives list and is wanted for five counts of murder. The other has an INTERPOL notice for drug trafficking.”

“These are the kinds of scum-bags sanctuary politicians are protecting and letting walk free on America’s streets,” she added.

Both men are now in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after being captured in the raid, which was led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and included other federal and international law enforcement partners. DHS says that ICE will continue to hold both MS-13 leaders as it coordinates with the Salvadoran government on returning them to the Central American nation to face justice.

The arrests are being highlighted as a shocking example of the lack of adequate vetting of illegal immigrants detained and subsequently released into the interior of the U.S. under former President Joe Biden.

Speaking on the matter on Thursday, President Donald J. Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, blasted the Biden-Harris era, noting that former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had directed U.S. immigration officials to only proceed with immediate deportations when the detainee had prior violent criminal convictions and not merely warrants for violent crimes.

Trump Terminates Clinton-Era Policy Giving Free Tuition to Illegals.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Education has revoked a Bill Clinton-era policy giving taxpayer funds to help pay for the education of illegal aliens.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, and illegal aliens.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on July 10, and the policy will come into force on August 9.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Postsecondary education programs funded by the federal government should benefit American citizens, not illegal aliens.” – Linda McMahon.

🎯IMPACT: The change will save taxpayers from funding the education of illegal aliens.

IN FULL

The U.S. Department of Education has announced the rollback of a Bill Clinton-era policy that made certain federal education funds accessible to illegal immigrants enrolled in technical, career, and adult education programs.

The decision reverses a directive from the former Clinton administration, allowing non-citizens without legal status to benefit from federal funding for postsecondary education. According to the Trump administration, that interpretation was at odds with the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), a federal law that limits most public benefits to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.

“Postsecondary education programs funded by the federal government should benefit American citizens, not illegal aliens,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “Under President Trump’s leadership, hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliens to participate in our career, technical, or adult education programs or activities. The Department will ensure that taxpayer funds are reserved for citizens and individuals who have entered our country through legal means who meet federal eligibility criteria.”

Officials pointed to an executive order signed by President Trump on February 19, which reinforced the administration’s commitment to ending the use of federal funds for illegal immigrants. That order aligns with the PRWORA by emphasizing that federal benefits should be reserved for legal residents.

Beginning August 9, 2025, the Department will enforce the updated interpretation of the PRWORA. Federally funded postsecondary programs will be required to verify participants’ eligibility in accordance with the revised policy.

EXPLAINED: Judge Blocks Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order Despite SCOTUS Ruling.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge has issued a nationwide injunction blocking President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order ending birthright citizenship, despite a Supreme Court ruling last month barring lower courts from granting such relief beyond their jurisdiction.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Normand Laplante, the United States Supreme Court, President Donald J. Trump, and the children of immigrants born on or after January 20, 2025.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The injunction was issued on Thursday, July 10, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The court hereby finds that Class Petitioners have demonstrated likelihood of success on the merits of their claims; that Class Petitioners are likely to suffer irreparable harm if the order is not granted,” wrote Judge Laplante.

🎯IMPACT: Despite the Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions, Judge Laplante utilized the “wiggle room” in the ruling, which allows for nationwide injunctive relief to be granted in class action lawsuits where a viable class is established and certified by the court.

IN FULL

U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Normand Laplante has issued a nationwide injunction blocking President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order ending birthright citizenship. While the U.S. Supreme Court ruled late last month that lower courts cannot—under most circumstances—grant injunctive relief beyond their jurisdiction, the high court left a degree of what Justice Samuel Alito called “wiggle room” for issuing nationwide injunctions as part of a class action lawsuit. This latter exception is how Judge Laplante, a George W. Bush appointee, made his ruling blocking the birthright citizenship order.

“After careful consideration of the parties’ submissions, the supporting declarations, the applicable law, and the filings and record in this case, the court GRANTS Petitioners’ Motion for a Classwide Preliminary Injunction,” Judge Laplante wrote in his ruling. He continued: “The court hereby finds that Class Petitioners have demonstrated likelihood of success on the merits of their claims; that Class Petitioners are likely to suffer irreparable harm if the order is not granted; that the potential harm to the class petitioners if the order is not granted outweighs the potential harm to Respondents if the order is granted; and that the issuance of this order is in the public interest.”

Notably, the injunction only provides relief from President Trump’s directive ending birthright citizenship for the class established by the court, which Judge Laplante defines as the children of immigrants born after the January 20, 2025, Executive Order went into effect. The federal judge, based in New Hampshire, also issued a seven-day stay on his injunction to allow time for the Trump administration to appeal the decision.

While Judge Laplante appears to have circumvented the constraints placed on nationwide injunctions by the Supreme Court, the expediency with which he recognized a viable class for the purposes of class action could be seen as dubious. Typically, establishing and certifying a viable class can take a relatively long period of time, with most class action lawsuits in the United States taking, on average, two to three years to conclude.

The Trump administration is expected to appeal the injunction.

Hispanic Support for Trump’s Deportations Is Surging.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A new poll shows Hispanic voter support for deportations has surged by 11 percent in just two months.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The poll was conducted by Cygnal, and it surveyed 1,500 people. The Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have also been central to recent deportation efforts.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The survey was conducted between July 1 and 2, 2025, as ICE continues nationwide raids and deportations.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.” – Tricia McLaughlin

🎯IMPACT: Support for deportations among Hispanic voters has risen significantly despite pro-illegal immigrant riots in cities across the U.S.

IN FULL

Support for President Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation policies has surged among Hispanic voters, according to a poll conducted by Cygnal. The survey, which polled 1,500 people between July 1 and 2, 2025, revealed an 11 percent rise in strong support for deportations among Hispanic voters since May.

The findings coincide with a series of nationwide raids and deportations carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These operations have targeted migrants living in the U.S. illegally, many with serious criminal records.

Since May, overall support for deportations among Hispanic voters has increased by seven percent, with an 11 percent rise in those who “strongly support” them.

The poll found that over 60 percent of all voters now support the deportation of illegal immigrants. Among Hispanic voters, 50 percent expressed support, with 48 percent opposed. Support among black voters stood at 53 percent, while support among white voters stood at 65 percent. This is despite pro-illegal immigrant riots and potentially deadly attacks on ICE in cities across the U.S., accompanied by highly inflammatory anti-ICE rhetoric from senior Democrats.

Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), stated: “We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $1,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.”

Meanwhile, illegals who decline this offer and take their chances evading ICE will face fines of $1,000 a day, and be deported forcibly—possibly to a country other than their own, such as El Salvador.

John Kerry Admits ‘Trump Was Right’ on Strong Borders.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged that “Trump was right” on immigration during an interview, criticizing Democrats for neglecting border issues.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: John Kerry, President Donald J. Trump, former President Joe Biden, and Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller, along with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Kerry’s comments were made during a BBC interview.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The first thing any President should say—or anybody in public life—is without a border protected, you don’t have a nation.” – John Kerry

🎯IMPACT: The remarks highlight growing bipartisan concerns over immigration policies and border security, with Republicans emphasizing enforcement and Democrats facing internal criticism.

IN FULL

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has admitted that President Donald J. Trump was correct on border and immigration issues, stating, “Trump was right,” during an interview. He criticized Democrats for failing to address border security adequately, admitting the U.S.-Mexico border was “under siege” during Joe Biden’s presidency.

Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, remarked, “The first thing any President should say—or anybody in public life—is without a border protected, you don’t have a nation.” He added, “I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, I’m going to enforce the law.”

Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border have dropped to near-record lows during Trump’s second term. Trump has since prioritized deportations, particularly in Democrat-run cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where large populations of illegal immigrants reside.

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff and a key architect of Trump’s immigration policies, initially gave U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a target of at least 3,000 arrests a day. However, with ICE funding significantly increased with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Border Czar Tom Homan now hopes to hit 7,000 arrests a day.

White House: Dems Are Inciting the Increasingly Violent Attacks on ICE.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Law enforcement officers involved in deportations are facing a spike in serious violence, with assaults on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents up 700 percent.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: ICE agents, Border Patrol officers, Democrat politicians, and far-left agitators.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Serious attacks occurred in early July at ICE facilities in Texas and Oregon, as well as a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “ICE agents will be unsuccessful in protecting their identities no matter what it takes.” – House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

🎯IMPACT: The rhetoric from Democrat politicians is contributing to an increasingly dangerous environment for federal agents.

IN FULL

A series of violent incidents targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in recent days has drawn sharp condemnation from the Trump administration, which is blaming inflammatory rhetoric from Democratic leaders for encouraging the attacks.

According to the White House, assaults on ICE personnel have increased by nearly 700 percent in recent months. The administration points to a string of serious recent attacks, including an incident on July 4 in Alvarado, Texas, where 11 suspects were arrested for allegedly luring ICE officers into a sniper ambush. One police officer responding to the incident was shot in the neck during the confrontation.

That same day, in Portland, Oregon, federal agents were reportedly attacked with an incendiary device and physically assaulted at another ICE installation.

On July 7, a gunman fired dozens of rounds at law enforcement at a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, injuring two police officers and a Border Patrol staff member before being killed.

The administration cited recent remarks from several Democratic lawmakers as examples of rhetoric it claims may have inspired the attacks. Among them were comments from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who reportedly encouraged people to “fight” the Trump administration “in the streets” and stated that ICE agents “will be unsuccessful” in protecting their identities “no matter what it takes.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) was also singled out for calling ICE agents “deranged” and saying it was “inspiring” to obstruct immigration enforcement.

Minnesotta Governor and 2024 vice presidential candidate Tim Walz was noted as having smeared ICE agents as the “modern-day Gestapo,” a reference to the brutal German secret police under the Nazis. Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson also claimed ICE agents were “secret police” and “terrorizing our communities.”

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), currently being prosecuted for personally interfering with federal law enforcement, has said “we are at war” and told her supporters in Washington, D.C. to “shut down the city.”

The White House said the rise in attacks on law enforcement is a “direct consequence of dangerous, inflammatory rhetoric from Democrat politicians,” adding, “ICE agents risk their lives to secure our borders and protect our communities.”

Meanwhile, ICE continues to make arrests of dangerous illegal alien criminals, including child rapists and violent offenders. With a surge of new funding for immigration enforcement now that President Donald J. Trump has signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Border Czar Tom Homan is targeting as many as 7,000 arrests per day.

Violent Protesters Injured Attacking ICE Vehicle.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Protests against federal immigration enforcement outside a San Francisco courthouse turned violent when demonstrators attempted to stop deportations by climbing onto a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Protesters, ICE agents, and federal officers were involved in the clashes outside a courthouse in downtown San Francisco.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Tuesday, July 8, in San Francisco, California.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I was bleeding everywhere. They were brutal to those of us trying to exercise our rights and protect our community.” – Sorin, a protester.

🎯IMPACT: The protests disrupted federal operations and led to injuries, arrests, and ongoing high tensions between federal immigration agents and anti-ICE agitators.

IN FULL

Violent demonstrations against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations broke out near a courthouse in downtown San Francisco, California, on Tuesday. Video of the protest shows far-left demonstrators attempting to interfere with federal immigration enforcement action by barring the path of an ICE van and climbing onto its hood.

At least two demonstrators can be seen in the video clinging to the ICE vehicle as it attempts to drive away, with one person falling off and another holding on as the van swerves sharply. Protesters, many wearing masks and keffiyehs, were also seen engaging in physical altercations with federal agents. “Holy f***ing s**t, frightening times, right?” a demonstrator can be heard exclaiming in the video before adding: “What the f**k have we gotten ourselves into?”

Meanwhile, another protester who spoke with local San Francisco media, identified only as “Sorin,” stated that see was injured while attempting to block an ICE vehicle. “I was bleeding everywhere,” she said, adding: “They were brutal to those of us trying to exercise our rights and protect our community.”

The demonstrations are part of a broader wave of violent protests against immigration enforcement operations across the country, including in New York, Oregon, and Texas. Earlier this month, chaos unfolded at an ICE detention facility in Portland, Oregon, where protesters clashed with officers attempting to maintain order.

Meanwhile, on July 4, a “planned ambush” targeting corrections officers at an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, left a police officer with a gunshot wound to the neck. The National Pulse reported on Tuesday that eleven individuals have been arrested so far in connection with the attack.

Trump Tightens Travel Restrictions on Nigerians.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration has restricted temporary visas for Nigerians, limiting most to single-entry visas valid for only three months.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, and Nigerian travelers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: United States and Nigeria, July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Effective immediately, most non-immigrant and non-diplomatic visas issued to citizens of Nigeria will be single-entry visas with a three-month validity period.” – U.S. Embassy in Abuja.

🎯IMPACT: The move is part of broader Trump-era security measures affecting African nations, raising diplomatic tensions and threatening future trade opportunities with West Africa.

IN FULL

Temporary-stay visas for Nigerians visiting the United States have been slashed to three months and are now limited to single entry only. The change, announced by the U.S. Embassy in Abuja, follows a wave of travel restrictions under President Donald Trump’s administration.

The embassy’s statement on Tuesday framed the move as an “update to its reciprocal non-immigrant visa policy,” noting that it impacts several countries, including Nigeria. Previously, visa durations and terms varied widely depending on the applicant’s purpose of travel.

The visa clampdown comes shortly after Trump ordered sweeping travel bans and restrictions affecting nationals from more than a dozen countries, citing concerns about national security and insufficient vetting systems. Citizens of Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan were banned outright. Chad responded by suspending U.S. visa issuances in return.

“In my first term, my powerful travel restrictions were one of our most successful policies, and they were a key part of preventing major foreign terror attacks on American soil,” Trump said at the time, adding, “We will not let what happened in Europe happen to America.”

The Trump administration’s broader immigration crackdown has intensified scrutiny on African nations and sparked concern among diplomats and trade partners. The latest decision to curtail Nigerian travel is seen as part of a larger pattern of policy designed to overhaul and harden American entry requirements.

Trump CBP: Green Card Migrants With Criminal Records Will Be Deported.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Federal authorities have warned that green card holders with criminal records face detention and deportation for violating immigration laws.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and immigrants and their advocates.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The warning was issued recently on X (formerly Twitter), with enforcement actions occurring across the United States.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Possessing a green card is a privilege, not a right,” Customs and Border Protection confirmed on X.

🎯IMPACT: Green card holders with criminal histories or those accused of supporting extremist activities face heightened scrutiny, detention, and potential deportation.

IN FULL

Federal immigration officials are warning migrants with lawful permanent resident status that they still face deportation if they have criminal records. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says green card holders found to be violating criminal law or immigration law face revocation of their legal residency and deportation.

CBP emphasized the seriousness of this issue in a recent statement on X, formerly Twitter, writing: “Under our nation’s laws, our government has the authority to revoke your green card if our laws are broken and abused.”

The agency also warned that lawful permanent residents arriving at U.S. ports of entry who have criminal convictions may be detained and could undergo removal proceedings. This notice aligns with broader enforcement policies under the Trump administration, prioritizing tougher immigration measures, including much stronger border control, removing illegals, and heightened scrutiny of those with legal status.

Amelia Wilson, assistant professor at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law and director of the Immigration Justice Clinic, complains that green cards should not be taken away without due process. “The Department of Homeland Security cannot unilaterally ‘revoke’ a permanent resident’s status,“ Wilson insists. “There is a process the agency must follow, including serving the individual with a ‘Notice of Intent to Rescind,’ at which time that individual is entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge.“

In a separate post on X, Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated the administration’s stance on national security concerns tied to immigration enforcement, stating: “We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) echoed this approach, warning that permanent residents and visa holders could lose their immigration privileges if they are found to have committed crimes, supported terrorism, or engaged in activities threatening public safety.

These moves come as the Trump administration is also pushing to denaturalize immigrants who have acquired U.S. citizenship, if they are found to have lied during the naturalization process or committed crimes, among other transgressions.

The Trump administration has also launched online campaigns encouraging illegal immigrants to self-deport and promoting arrests of individuals with criminal histories as part of a broader crackdown.

These Are Some of the Killers and Predators ICE Has Been Arresting:

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are netting killers, child molesters, and other serious criminals in immigration raids across the U.S.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: ICE agents and illegal immigrants with serious criminal convictions, including homicides and sexual offenses.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Recent arrests took place across various U.S. cities, including Boston, Buffalo, Los Angeles, and Houston.

🎯IMPACT: Dangerous migrants, including those convicted of child molestation, rape, and other violent crimes, have been removed from American communities.

IN FULL

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is continuing to detain serious criminal illegal aliens, announcing on July 8 the apprehension of rapists, child molesters, and other violent criminals as Democrats and far-left agitators escalate their pro-illegal immigrant activities.

Recent arrests include Andrew Da Silva, a Brazilian national with convictions for child molestation and sexual assault in Providence, Rhode Island, and Gerber R. Rosil-Galdamez, a Guatemalan national convicted of rape in Suffolk County, New York. Aurelio Lopez-Vasquez, a Mexican national, was arrested for prior convictions of sexual conduct against a child in Kings County, New York, while Jesus Flores, also from Mexico, was convicted of manslaughter in the Bronx.

Selbourne Larkin, a Jamaican national, is another convicted killer, with vehicular homicide and possession of a firearm by a felon among the 22 criminal arrests and 12 criminal convictions he has acquired during his time in the U.S.

Additional arrests include migrants such as Juan Humberto Perez, a Mexican national with convictions for aggravated sexual battery and indecent liberties with a child, and Glenda Iraheta from El Salvador, who has 21 criminal arrests and multiple convictions in Loudoun County, Virginia. Sergio Soadri Morales, a Mexican citizen, was arrested for indecency with a child in Bexar County, Texas, and Jonathan Omar Calderon, a Guatemalan national, has a conviction for lewd acts with a child under 14 in Los Angeles, California.

Other notable arrests include Verner Arnoldo Perez-Ixcoy, a Guatemalan national with ten criminal convictions, and Juan Manuel Parra-Reyes, a Mexican citizen convicted of sexual abuse of a child in Salt Lake City, Utah. Hai Tuan Pham, a Vietnamese national, was arrested for aggravated robbery and kidnapping with intent to commit sexual assault in Dallas County, Texas. Demir Keco, a Bosnian citizen, was arrested in Boston for firearm offenses and assault.

ICE agents continue to target violent and serious criminal individuals for arrest and deportation despite protests and riots from the left against their actions. President Donald J. Trump’s newly passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act has given ICE a massive financial boost, with Border Czar Tom Homan announcing that ICE is now looking to make 7,000 arrests daily.

Nevertheless, leftists, including some Democratic members of Congress, have become increasingly militant in their opposition to ICE’s operations, with a law enforcement officer being shot in the neck after insurrectionists lured agents into a sniper ambush outside a Texas ICE facility over the Fourth of July weekend.
