The Trump team seems to be doing all it can to deal with the illegal alien problem.
However, they still face bad things the Biden Administration left behind.
A new story from Fox News’ Bill Melugin shows the eye-popping consequences of that prior bad action, and how it can stand in the way when you’re trying to get things done.
Melugin rode along with ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) when they went to pick up an illegal alien. According to Melugin, DHS alleges the suspect had a prior murder conviction and was a gang member. DHS says Alexander Alfredo Palacios Guevara has had a deportation order since 2024, but he hasn’t been deported. Guevara interrupted Melugin and told him why he could not be deported.

That’s nuts, that you could have such a decision that would cause such a blockage. The damage that Joe Biden and his handlers have done is immeasurable. Meanwhile, Democrats are demonizing ICE instead of dealing with real issues.
