DHS Fires FOUR Employees for Funneling Money to NYC Migrant Hotels in Violation of Trump EO.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says it has fired four employees responsible for funneling $59 million to several New York City hotels to house illegal immigrants in contravention of an executive order signed by President Donald J. Trump. Whether all four employees were with DHS or the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is unclear.

Yesterday, The National Pulse reported that DHS said it would fire the individual—or individuals—responsible for paying $59 million to New York City for illegal immigrant housing. “Individuals who circumvented leadership and unilaterally made this payment will be fired and held accountable,” DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said, responding to revelations of the payments posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Elon Musk.

Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered the payments early Monday, with the SpaceX chief posting on X: “The DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.”

“Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order,” Musk continued, adding: “That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals!”

“A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds,” Musk concluded.

According to New York City, the $59 million was part of funding authorized under the Biden government for the housing of illegal immigrants and other support. Of the total, $19 million was directly spent on hotel and housing costs, while the remainder covered food, clothing, and building security.

Trump’s Border Czar Says FBI Leaked ICE Operational Plans, Culprit Facing Prison.

President Donald J. Trump’s border czar has confirmed that the person suspected of leaking operational information relating to a raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is connected to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). During an interview on February 10, Tom Homan stated that a criminal investigation had been launched into the matter by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

“They have opened up a criminal investigation, and they have promised that not only will this person lose their job and lose their pension, they’re going to go to jail, they’re going to criminally prosecute. So we’re all over it,” Homan said.

The alleged leaker warned the media of an ICE operation in Los Angeles that was targeting illegals with deportation orders, some of which were known criminals and gang members.

Operation Compliance was set to be one of the most significant immigration enforcement operations in the last few years and looked to arrest thousands of illegals.

Another leak occurred regarding an operation in Colorado that was focused on Tren de Aragua gang members who have been terrorizing locals in places like Denver, Colorado. The leaker allegedly tipped off the gang, who fled their apartments before ICE arrived.

Under Homan, ICE has arrested over a thousand illegals since President Trump’s inauguration, including serious criminals wanted for murder and child rape.

Britain’s Left-Wing Govt is Now Posting Deportation Videos.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government is releasing videos of immigration enforcement raids against businesses employing illegal workers as Nigel Farage’s anti-mass migration Reform Party surges past them in the polls. The raids, targeting businesses including Indian restaurants, nail bars, and carwashes, appear calculated to make Labour appear firmer on illegal immigration.

While Starmer pledged he would “smash the gangs” orchestrating illegal immigration, mainly via small boats, it has increased in the months since he assumed office in July. One of his first acts as Prime Minister was to scrap a long-delayed Conservative plan, prepared at a cost of many millions of pounds, to disincentivize illegal immigration by transferring migrants to Rwanda as a “third safe country.” A similar policy proved highly successful in Australia, and President Donald J. Trump appears to be pursuing a similar policy in the U.S., striking an agreement with Guatemala on taking deportees and with El Salvador on incarcerating criminal aliens—and potentially some U.S. citizens.

Some in Labour are unhappy with Starmer’s efforts to appear at least to be taking action on illegal immigration, with Diane Abbott MP complaining about the party becoming “Reform-lite.”

“The Labour Party can never outdo Reform on anti-immigrant rhetoric, and should not even try. All that happens is that we give legitimacy to the Reform narrative,” she wrote for leftist ex-newspaper The Independent.

Farage believes Labour’s raid videos are evidence Labour is “terrified” of Reform’s poll surge.

Homan: Border Crossings Between Ports of Entry Down Almost 90 Percent.

Border Czar Tom Homan says southern border crossings are down by around 87 percent under President Donald J. Trump, as the new administration’s illegal immigration crackdown continues. “As we lock that border down, we’re taking money out of the pockets of the criminal cartels,” he told Fox News.

In addition to slashing illegal border crossings, the Trump administration has been moving to round up illegal aliens already present in the U.S. Homan, who has been helping to spearhead these efforts, says the authorities’ initial focus has been criminal aliens; however, he is stressing that anyone present in the country illegally falls within the purview of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“It’s a crime,” Homan said of those who are unlawfully present in the U.S., telling CNN such people are “supposed to be” nervous. “I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I’m in Switzerland illegally,” he explained.

Marco Rubio’s State Department has also been working to facilitate deportations, striking a “safe third country” agreement with Guatemala to take deportees from other countries, and striking a deal with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador to host migrant criminals and even U.S. citizens at his CECOT mega-prison.

ICE Has Already Rounded Up Almost 200 Venezuelan Gang Members.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have already apprehended nearly 200 members of the notorious Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, the White House announced on Wednesday. From January 21 to February 3, ICE agents arrested 194 gang members who were illegally residing in the United States. President Donald J. Trump has promised to root out dangerous illegal aliens.

“President Donald Trump told the American people he’d arrest and deport members of the brutal Tren de Aragua gang, and he’s doing just that,” stated White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. “Illegal immigrant criminal gangs like Tren de Aragua will no longer be able to terrorize American communities under President Trump’s leadership.”

Leavitt further confirmed that each of the apprehended gang members will be deported back to Venezuela, which has agreed to accept repatriation flights from the U.S.

These arrests contribute to the over 7,000 criminal aliens ICE has apprehended since President Trump took office, with raids conducted in several major sanctuary cities across the nation.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced last week that the U.S. will use the military prison at Guantanamo Bay to house deported migrants. President Trump elaborated on this strategy, stating, “Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them, because we don’t want them coming back, so we’re gonna send them out to Guantanamo. This will double our capacity immediately, right? And tough. That’s a tough, that’s a tough place to get out of.”

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has also agreed to host criminal aliens—and even U.S. criminals—at his CECOT mega-prison.

Guatemala Agrees to Take Deported Migrants from Other Countries.

In a significant policy shift, Guatemala’s President Bernardo Arevalo announced on Wednesday that Guatemala will accept migrants from other countries who are being deported from the United States. This statement came after a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Guatemala City.

Under the newly established “safe third country” agreement, President Arevalo stated that these deportees would later be repatriated to their countries of origin, with the United States covering the costs of these returns.

If migrants fear they will not be able to stay in the U.S. ahead of their repatriation—potentially allowing them to disappear into hiding or acquire residency by having a child on U.S. soil or some other surreptitious means—many may be deterred from entering the U.S. in the first place.

Immigration, a key focus of the Trump administration, has dominated Secretary Rubio’s agenda during his inaugural foreign trips as the U.S.’s chief diplomat, spanning five Central American nations.

The deal with Guatemala follows another with El Salvador, headed by populist President Nayib Bukele, who had agreed to host violent criminals—U.S. citizens as well as criminal aliens—at his country’s CECOT mega-prison, where gang members have been incarcerated en masse as part of an anti-crime crusade that has reduced homicides by 98 percent.

First Flights of Illegal Immigrants to Guantanamo Bay Confirmed.

President Donald J. Trump’s administration has initiated the transfer of illegal aliens to Guantanamo Bay, with the first flights reportedly underway. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the beginning of the deportation flights on February 4. The action follows Trump’s recent promise to utilize the facility, commonly referred to as Gitmo, to hold the most dangerous illegals.

Leavitt emphasized that Trump is taking definitive steps against criminal aliens following the signing of the Laken Riley Act. She explained that these measures are intended to prevent the U.S. from becoming a “dumping ground” for criminals from various countries. This policy also includes collaborative efforts with Venezuela and Colombia to repatriate their nationals.

Trump is turning to Guantanamo partly due to concerns over whether certain countries will keep their criminals in detention. As another option, El Salvador‘s President Nayib Bukele has also offered President Trump the use of prison facilities in his country for migrant criminals.

Describing Gitmo as a secure and restrictive facility, Trump expressed confidence that this strategy would impede the return of illegals to the U.S. He emphasized the administration’s resolve to address what they view as criminal activity linked to illegal migration, affirming that the facility is “a tough place to get out of.”

Trump’s Border Czar Warns New Jersey Governor Faces Jail for Allegedly Hiding an Illegal.

President Donald J. Trump’s border czar has threatened to jail the Democrat Governor of New Jersey for claiming he was allowing an illegal alien to live at his home. Tom Homan indicated interest in seeking legal action against Governor Phil Murphy after Murphy said he had invited an illegal to live above his garage over the weekend, adding, “And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.”

“I think the governor’s pretty– foolish thing what he said because I’ve gotten a hold of it. We won’t let it go. We’ll look into it,” Homan told Fox News.

“[I]f you knowingly, knowingly harbor and concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation of Title 8, United States Code 1324. I will seek prosecution or the secretary will seek prosecution,” he warned.

Murphy’s office later claimed his statement was misinterpreted and insisted no illegal migrant resides at his home.

Homan has previously stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been prioritizing dangerous illegal migrant criminals for arrest, noting that migrants wanted for murder and child rape have already been taken into custody. However, Homan warns that all illegals are in the sights of ICE, noting that entering the United States illegally or overstaying a visa is a crime.

WATCH: Demonstrators Blocking Freeway to Protest Trump Deportations Wave Foreign Flags.

Thousands of demonstrators, many waving foreign flags, took to the streets in Los Angeles on Sunday, protesting against President Donald J. Trump’s deportation efforts. The demonstration led to significant disruptions when participants blocked U.S. Route 101, one of the state’s major freeways.

The protesters initially gathered at Olvera Street, a location with historical ties to the eras of Spanish and Mexican control over the area. From there, they marched on Los Angeles City Hall. As the demonstration progressed, participants moved onto U.S. 101, blocking all lanes and causing significant traffic disruptions.

The blockage resulted in traffic congestion stretching in both directions and affecting surface streets in the vicinity. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that it took over five hours for the freeway to be cleared and fully reopened to traffic. However, CHP Lieutenant Matt Gutierrez confirmed on Sunday evening that despite the extensive disruption, there were no arrests.

Similar protests by climate activists in Britain have led to severe injuries and even deaths, with motorists diverted onto alternative routes involved in crashes, and people en route to hospital significantly delayed.

President Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, has vowed that the mass deportations the America First leader promised on the campaign trail will be executed “with no apology.”

“We’re going to do this operation with no apology. We’re going to make our communities safer. Once we lock that border down and continue this operation, you’re going to see fentanyl deaths decrease, illegal alien crime decrease, sex trafficking decrease. It’s all for the good of this nation, and we’re gonna keep going. No apologies, we’re moving forward,” he said.

President Trump Announces 30,000-Bed Guantanamo Bay Facility to Hold Most Dangerous Illegals.

President Donald J. Trump announced he is signing an executive order directing the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to open a 30,000-bed detention facility on the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to hold illegal immigrants deemed a danger to the American public. According to Trump, the facility will house violent and dangerous illegal immigrants as they await deportation to secure countries where they will remain.

“Today I’m also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay—most people don’t even know about it,” Trump said while speaking at the White House bill signing of the Laken Riley Act. He continued: “We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people. Some of them are so bad, we don’t even trust the countries to hold them because we don’t want them coming back. So we’re going to send them out to Guantanamo.”

Under former President Joe Biden’s open borders policies, numerous violent gang members from Central and South America were able to enter the United States and gain footholds in a number of American cities. President Trump and border czar Tom Homan have prioritized the capture, detention, and deportation of these violent individuals during an initial series of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that began last week.
