Early numbers: Trump is crushing the immigration crisis

One week into his Presidency, Donald Trump is already delivering on his campaign promise to secure the southern border and remove criminal aliens.

The border: Border Patrol encountered just 582 people trying to cross the border on Sunday. This follows 731 encounters on Saturday and 665 on Friday.

• For perspective: Just over a year ago, in December 2023, border encounters reached an all-time high of 302,000 encounters in the month — roughly 10,000 per day.

• But wait, there’s more: In addition to the reduced number of illegal border crossings, Trump cut off the stream of roughly 1,450 people being admitted into the U.S. through Joe Biden’s CBP One app.

Deportations ramp up: Since taking office, Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested over 3,500 illegal aliens, according to the agency’s official X account. That number has steadily increased, with 1,179 arrests on Monday and 956 arrests on Sunday.

• The goal: President Trump has directed ICE to target between 1,200 and 1,500 arrests per day.

• Zoom out: ICE's directive is to seek out illegal aliens with criminal records — however, if other illegals are present during raids, they are also arrested.

What do Americans think? A recent poll found that Americans trust Republicans by +22% over Democrats on immigration. That’s a major swing from 2017, when Democrats were favored by +11%.

The last word: When ABC News reporter Matha Raddatz asked Border Czar Tom Homan on Sunday if deportations would take place "every single day," he replied, simply… "Yes."

That’s an order: Trump drops four big executive orders for the military

President Donald Trump announced four big executive orders focused on the U.S. military while speaking at the House Republicans' annual retreat yesterday.

American ‘Iron Dome’: Trump told the group: "I’m directing our new Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth… to immediately begin the construction of a state of the art Iron Dome missile defense shield which will be able to protect Americans" from a potential missile launch against the homeland.

• He added that it would be made “100%” in the United States.

COVID jab: "We will offer full reinstatement to any servicemember who was expelled from the armed forces due to the COVID vaccine mandate. And we will restore them to their former rank with full pay."

• A White House fact sheet obtained by Fox News said this would affect over 8,000 troops discharged by the Biden regime.

Trans ideology: "To ensure that we have the most lethal fighting force in the world, we will get transgender ideology the hell out of our military." Trump has signed executive orders:

• discharging trans-identifying servicemembers for failing to meet physical and mental fitness requirements

• banning the use of "invented" pronouns

• banning servicemembers from using bathrooms, changing rooms, bedrooms not aligned with their biological sex

Critical Race Theory and DEI: "We will stop our servicemembers from being indoctrinated with radical left ideology."

• Trump has signed executive orders banning DEI programs in the military and ordered a review of all discrimination that was a result of past DEI programs.
