Trump’s ICE Reveals Biden Regime ‘Cooked the Books’ on Illegals, ‘Purposely Misleading’ the Public.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests since President Donald J. Trump took office are already outpacing arrests made in all of 2024, the agency said Wednesday—and the Biden government had been “cooking the books” to produce its numbers. “We have uncovered that the previous administration… was cooking the books on ICE data,” acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told reporters. “They were purposely misleading the American people by categorizing individuals processed and released into the interior of the United States as ICE arrests.”

Lyons confirmed a “comprehensive review was done internally here with ICE,” finding “tens of thousands of cases that were recorded as arrests when, in fact, these instances were illegal aliens that were simply processed and released into the American communities,” he said.

Senior officials report that the majority of the 113,431 arrests made in FY 2024 were so-called “pass-through” arrests, meaning that ICE did not take enforcement action against those migrants and instead released them into the interior. No arrests made by ICE under the Trump administration have been pass-through arrests: “What we are doing now is actual immigration enforcement, not enforcement theater,” an official said.

For interior arrests, ICE made 33,242 at-large arrests in FY 2024. For comparison, officials say ICE made 32,809 arrests from January 20 to March 10, meaning they will surpass the FY 2024 number this week.

The Trump administration says its efforts are already yielding positive results. Just this week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it had replaced the controversial CBP One app with a new CBP Home app that helps facilitate self-deportations.

“After four years of not being allowed to effectively do their jobs, our agents and officers are excited to get to work and fulfill the agency’s mission,” Lyons said.

Ex-Obama Aides Slam ADL for Backing Trump Deportations.

Two former Obama government officials have criticized the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for its endorsement of President Donald J. Trump’s order to deport foreign-born students protesting Israel. The controversy follows the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident with British government ties, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the new directive targeting student protesters who support the Hamas terrorist group.

The ADL expressed its support for Khalil’s detention, citing the need for significant repercussions for those involved in activities such as providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations and inciting violence. The organization added that Khalil’s arrest should serve as a deterrent against future antisemitic protests.

Jon Lovett, a former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, openly criticized the ADL’s stance. Lovett denounced the ADL’s statement as “shameful,” emphasizing that crimes should be charged accordingly without infringing upon First Amendment rights or revoking immigration status as a form of protest punishment.

Lovett expressed his disillusionment with the ADL, suggesting that the organization no longer represents American Jewish interests, and called for financial support to be withdrawn.

Ben Rhodes, who served as deputy national security adviser under Obama, echoed Lovett’s sentiments, also labeling the ADL’s statement as “shameful.”

President Trump has also cracked down on universities that have allowed antisemitic protests on their campuses, cutting millions in federal funding.

NASA Prioritized Gender Affirmation and Diversity in Spending.

A report has revealed that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) enacted a plethora of DEI policies under the former Biden-Harris regime. Between 2021 and 2024, the agency spent over $2.3 million on DEI-related contracts.

Over the past four years, NASA introduced various guidelines for its employees, including support for those undergoing gender transitions.

The report details substantial investments in DEI-related contracts and training. Between 2021 and 2024, NASA allotted over $2 million to LMI Consulting to integrate DEI principles into the agency’s culture and operations. Additionally, contracts for diversity training were awarded, including $90,000 to the NeuroLeadership Institute and $74,000 to Cook Ross, Inc. Significantly, a $100,000 grant was provided to the Planetary Science Institute to enhance diversity within the planetary science workforce.

A document shared by a whistleblower revealed a 22-page guide issued in 2022 titled NASA Guidance for Supporting Gender Transition/Affirmation in the Workplace.

NASA also promoted professional development with DEI messaging. One course, “Diversity All In,” and another, “The Power of Inclusion,” emphasized understanding diversity and advancing women in leadership roles.

At the federal level, President Donald J. Trump’s administration has scrapped DEI initiatives across the federal government. Many major corporations have also shifted away from DEI policies due to conservative activist pressure and President Trump’s election win last November.

Kash Patel’s FBI Arrests Corrupt Federal Bureaucrat Who Stole FEMA Funds.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel announced his agents have arrested an allegedly corrupt federal government official charged with executing a scheme to defraud the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and lying to federal agents. On Wednesday, the Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan announced charges against Serina Baker-Hill, a career federal employee who serves as the director of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Center for Excellence and Expertise over Automotive and Aerospace Engineering for the alleged fraud plot.

“Following efforts with our interagency partners, I can report that a career Director level employee at US Customs and Border Protection has been charged with allegedly attempting to defraud FEMA, as well as lying to federal agents,” FBI Director Patel stated in a post on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “This is part of the new FBI’s renewed efforts to crack down on public corruption and deliver accountability for the American people. Justice will be done.”

Baker-Hill, according to the criminal complaint, filed for FEMA assistance following the 2023 floods in Detroit, Michigan. While a FEMA inspector found that the basement of Baker-Hill’s home had suffered water damage, and Baker-Hill claimed her home was unlivable while under repair, federal investigators found that the CBP official did not use the relief funds to pay for approved expenses like rent and utilities.

“According to Baker-Hill’s bank records, none of the FEMA money was used for rental, hotel, or utility expenses,” the U.S. Attorney’s office states. They add: “Video surveillance at the home showed that Baker-Hill and her husband continued to live in the home after receiving the rental assistance funds from FEMA.”

Additionally, federal prosecutors say Baker-Hill lied to FBI and CBP agents when questioned regarding the FEMA funds.

Foreign-Born Share of U.S. Population Hit All-Time High in January.

The foreign-born share of the United States population hit an all-time high in January, according to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). At 15.8 percent of the total U.S. population, the ratio of foreign-born individuals living in the country to native-born now exceeds prior highs reached during the mass immigration influxes experienced in 1890 and 1910.

Citing data from the federal government’s January 2025 Current Population Survey (CPS), the CIS report reveals that at the start of the year, there were 53.3 million foreign-born individuals residing in the U.S. The immigration policy group notes that this represents an 8.3 million increase from the total foreign-born population share when former President Joe Biden took office in 2021. Additionally, CIS estimates that of the 8.3 million increase, at least 5.4 million—or two-thirds—are illegal immigrants. It should be noted that CIS states these numbers do not include potentially millions of foreign-born individuals missed by the federal government survey.

“At 15.8 percent of the total U.S. population, the foreign-born share is higher now than at the prior peaks reached in 1890 and 1910. No U.S. government survey or census has ever shown such a large foreign-born population,” the CIS report states, continuing: “The current numbers have rendered Census Bureau projections obsolete. Just two years ago, the Bureau projected the foreign-born share would not reach 15.8 percent until 2042.”

Noting that the government figures represent net growth, the CIS report contends: “Our best estimate is that 11.5 to 12.5 million legal and illegal immigrants settled in the country in the last four years,” adding, “…our preliminary estimate is that there are 15.4 million illegal immigrants in the January 2025 CPS, an increase of more than 50 percent (5.4 million) over the last four years in the survey.”

Trump’s ‘Radical Pro-Hamas’ Student Deportee Has UK Govt Security Clearance: REPORT.

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian Columbia University graduate and U.S. permanent resident now detained in a federal jail in Louisiana following his arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Saturday night, previously worked with the British government. Khalil emerged as a key figure during the anti-Israel campus encampment in the spring of 2024, serving as a lead negotiator for student protesters. His arrest over the weekend prompted a federal judge to issue a temporary block on his deportation, leaving his fate hanging in the balance as legal proceedings unfold.

President Donald J. Trump branded Khalil a “Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student” on Monday, hailing his arrest as “the first of many to come” for foreign agitators. “We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Many are not students, they are paid agitators. We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country—never to return again. If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here.”

From 2018 to 2022, Khalil worked as a program manager at the British Embassy’s Syria Office in Beirut, Lebanon, overseeing the Syria Chevening Program—a prestigious British scholarship initiative. Online records confirm his role in managing these efforts, which aimed to foster ties with future global leaders for Britain’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO).

Andrew Waller, a former British diplomat and policy advisor at the Syria Office during Khalil’s tenure, told Middle East Eye that Khalil “went through a vetting process to get the job and was cleared to work on sensitive issues for the British government.”

Waller described the Chevening scholarship as a “flagship UK soft power policy” that draws top talent worldwide to British universities. “Mahmoud ran its Syria program and interviewed hundreds, if not thousands, of applicants on behalf of the British government,” he said. Khalil also served as a “local staff political officer,” leveraging his linguistic skills to support high-level meetings.

Poll Shows How Many Americans Hold Favorable View of Hamas.

The Hamas terrorist organization is seeing an increase in support among Americans, with one in seven now saying they have a positive view of the Islamist group that perpetrated the barbaric October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks against Israel. According to a new poll conducted by J.L. Partners, roughly 14 percent of 1,019 registered American voters surveyed said they have a very positive or somewhat positive opinion of Hamas. This marks a 12 percent increase in support for the terrorist organization since the October 7 attacks a year and a half ago.

In the same survey, Israel saw a modest increase in positive perception of just three percent since October 2023. Currently, 50 percent of respondents have a positive opinion of Israel, while 19 percent hold a negative opinion.

The data comes amid a new outburst of pro-Palestinian demonstrations, particularly on college campuses, leading to confrontations with law enforcement. Recently, former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after leading a demonstration and is slated for deportation. President Donald J. Trump heralded Khalil’s arrest as the beginning of a crackdown, with Education Secretary Linda McMahon notifying 60 educational institutions to safeguard Jewish students.

Additionally, as part of broader measures, Columbia University faces a significant $400 million cut in federal funding due to its handling of anti-Israel protests last year. The Trump White House justified the action by citing the university’s insufficient response to harassment incidents against Jewish students.

Nearly 1 Million in Britain Struggle To Speak English.

Nearly a million people in Britain cannot speak English fluently, with over 130,000 unable to speak a word of the language native to the British Isles. According to the 2021 UK Census, approximately 10 percent of the United Kingdom’s foreign-born population—equivalent to 932,208 people — face challenges in speaking English.

The data provided by the UK Statistics Authority to the Conservative Party shows that 8.6 percent, or 794,332 people, have limited English skills, and 1.4 percent, or 137,876 individuals, cannot speak the language at all. Consequently, just over half of migrants aged 16 and above reported that English is their primary language, and only 38.4 percent state they can speak English well.

The UK’s population reached 67.6 million in mid-2022 and is projected to rise to 72.5 million by 2032. Net migration is expected to be around 631,000 this year, a decrease from the recent high of 906,000.

Criticism is mounting against Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government regarding migration policy management. Subsequently, the government has dismissed allegations of inefficacy in addressing people smuggling across the Channel. The ruling Labour Party continues to resist calls to implement a migration cap.

Meanwhile, some estimate that as many as one in twelve residents of London, Britain’s largest city, are illegal immigrants.

Migrants Over 70% More Likely to Commit Sex Crimes Than Native Britons.

Migrants are 70 percent more likely to commit sex crimes compared to natives in Great Britain, new data reveals. While details on the ethnic and migration backgrounds of offenders remain undisclosed by authorities, figures released via Freedom of Information requests by the Centre for Migration Control highlight a notable trend.

From 2021 to 2023, migrants or individuals with “unknown” nationality accounted for nearly 23 percent of all sexual offenses, including rape, in Britain. This statistic is notable given that migrants represent approximately 9.3 percent of the population.

The Centre for Migration Control’s analysis reveals significant variations among different groups. North Africans reportedly have a 6.6-fold increased likelihood of committing sex crimes compared to Britons. Similarly, Middle Eastern individuals are 3.8 times more likely, and Sub-Saharan Africans are 2.6 times more likely to be convicted of such offenses.

The think tank’s research identified 87 foreign ethnic groups with sex crime conviction rates surpassing those of native Britons. Government figures highlight that individuals from Afghanistan and Eritrea face over 20 times the likelihood of sex offense convictions compared to the native population.

In the broader context of crime, migrants are disproportionately represented. Over 100,000 migrants were convicted of serious crimes in Britain from 2021 to 2023. Figures released last year revealed that Albanians offend the most, with an incarceration rate of 232.33 per 10,000 people.

Egg Prices Are Down Nearly $2.00 in Just 13 Days Following Trump Plan to Lower Cost.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced on Tuesday that egg prices nationwide have begun falling following the Trump administration’s efforts to boost domestic supply. According to Rollins, following measures implemented late last month, the average cost of a dozen eggs has decreased by nearly $2.00.

“A good piece of news we just got in the last day or two is that the average cost of a dozen eggs has now gone down $1.85 since we announced our plan about a week and a half ago,” Rollins said in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter). However, the Agriculture Secretary did warn that prices could creep back up slightly as the country heads into the Easter holiday and demand increases.

In a recent op-ed, Rollins detailed the administration’s strategy to tackle egg prices, which climbed significantly under former President Joe Biden following mass culls of chickens to combat avian flu outbreaks and inflationary pressure. “This five-point strategy won’t erase the problem overnight, but we’re confident that it will restore stability to the egg market over the next three to six months,” Rollins wrote, adding: “This approach will also ensure stability over the next four years and beyond.”

Notably, the Trump administration is set to invest around a billion dollars in stabilizing prices, with the money largely going toward combatting bird flu and supporting vaccine research.
