Share and Follow


DEL RIO, Texas () The Trump administration Wednesday touted several 2025 immigration actions, including mass deportations, as illegal crossings at the southern border plummet and reports of U.S.-born children being deported grow.

The administration says the actions are a case of “promises made, promises kept” during a Cabinet meeting Wednesday. It also touted the removal of 135,000 immigrants in the U.S. illegally 65,000 of them, the administration claims, had criminal convictions.

The recently carried out Operation Tidal Wave in Florida led to 780 arrests in four days. Arrests, according to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, included members of MS-13, “murderers” and “rapists.”

“You (Trump) have deported over 250 known terrorists,” Noem said during Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting. “You’ve deported thousands of foreign terrorist organization members and gang members, hundreds of thousands of people that were in this country illegally. We’ve collected $30 billion worth of tariffs through Customs and Border Patrol and we’ve also collected millions and millions … hundreds of millions of fines and penalties from people that have overstayed here in this country.”

This comes as at least 11,000 soldiers are now deployed along the southern border, along with several militarized vehicles at the hands of the Department of Defense and hundreds of Texas National Guard troops. The state has also been authorized to assist the National Guard with immigration matters.

In the first 100 days, the Trump administration is touting a 317% increase in federal state partner agreements, which, for many, grant local police immigration authority.

confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that the U.S. Postal Service is now involved in immigration enforcement, targeting who the administration calls “the worst of the worst.”

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan is also doubling down on his promise to deport children born legally in the U.S.

When asked by CBS’ “60 Minutes” if there’s a way to “carry out mass deportations without separating families, his response was: “Of course, families can be deported together.”
