A visual depicting Trump's expansion of 287(g) agreements between police and ICE to arrest, identify and remove aliens.

This program has existed since 1996, yet it wasn't until 2025 anyone truly began to use it. From 140 to 1,400 in 1 year, and we are now nearing 1,600 agreements. Mass Deportations are made of these infrastructure and network changes.

'For 30 or 40 years we haven't had an admin take fraud seriously. A lot of anti-fraud protections were actually turned off by the Biden administration...

We're going to turn back on those anti-fraud protections for the whole govt, across all departments so that all of these Cabinet officials are looking at what's going on and can stop fraud.'

'Imagine a native Minnesotan who works, who's worried about his ability to support his family. And then imagine he has a neighbor who’s a Somali refugee, arrived two years ago, and has a Mercedes, and no financial stress, and no worries at all, and never seems to ever go to work — because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper, and got unlimited free money forever.

That is the system that is being run in America. That is the corruption that this task force is going to demolish.'

Pam Bondi: Denaturalization is not easy, we need tougher laws to make it faster, but we are pushing as much as we can within the framework we have.

Pam Bondi has officially brought forth a rule to speed up the Death Penalty. Since the 90s, death penalty has been slow and too rare
Time spent on death row now takes longer than most Zoomers have been alive. It's too slow and terribly inefficient. AG Bondi has introduced a rule proposal hoping to expedite the process at a state level for stricter criminal justice results.

Tennessee, focusing on shoving illegals out of the system and turning the state into a tool of identification & removal.
Tennessee House Republicans rapidly passed a bill to turn Immigration Action into a confidential procedure, protecting the identities of ICE agents and details of DHS operations. Officials who expose details without permission would be punished if this becomes state law.

ICE now has over 42,000 migrants wearing ankle monitors, in addition to over 70,000 migrants in detention and many others under police surveillance.

DHS is ending the H-1B lottery, replacing it with a selective, restrictive and weighted process that gives priority to high-wage and skill-proven applicants, after the fee.
A new rule has hit the federal register to push up the prevailing wages paid to H-1B visas. This proposal would cut into the level I and level II H-1B recipients, the largest share of H-1Bs, which may end up cutting a quarter or more out of the U.S.

This proposal would cut into the level I and level II H-1B recipient
In other words cheap H-1Bs will be even less common than before.

Oral arguments on President Trump's push to end birthright citizenship are scheduled to be heard by SCOTUS on April 1st. This case is one of our most important legal battles, historically.
Oral arguements regarding birthright citizenship will be heard soon; estimates say nearly 4 million people have no means to prove their identity, not to mention over 15 million illegals.

President Trump's order becoming law would put refugees, H-1Bs, asylees, in-progress green cards and mixed status families at risk of being unrooted or completely ineligible for dropping an anchor and becoming 'permanent'.

During President Trump's first term there was immense backlash over family immigration enforcement to the point of major lawsuits and facilities shut down.

This term the Trump Admin has been detaining and deporting migrant parents and children in record numbers with no hesitation, preventing potential anchor babies and undoing minor replacement. The end of birthright citizenship would accelerate this process significantly.

Trump's Department of Transportation rule bars asylees, refugees, H-1Bs, illegals and DACA from obtaining licenses to use trucks and other skilled vehicles
7,000 training providers and schools have seen their accreditations revoked so far as the President Trump's department of transportation is cracking down on legal and illegal immigrants driving trucks.

Reports say 13,000 out of 20,000 migrant truck drivers in California have already been hit with a notice of impending license cancelation thanks to Trump.

Local police can become ICE's greatest ally by identifying, reporting and holding migrants they come across. In this the State Patrol of Iowa has caught several; a few names of the arrested truckers:

Suraj Vasal, Pardeep Saini, Navdeep Singh. Many licensed by Gavin Newsom's California DMV.

Additional evidence of Trump's mass deportations: the arrest and removal of migrants with anchor babies has surged. This illustrates only a small sample, wherein 60% of migrant moms are removed from the United States.

That's double the Biden years; the rest are kept in custody with little chance of release, or they're kept on a monitor.

Trump has pushed to reopen more immigration cases than all previous admins recorded combined, putting people whose status was settled years ago back up for potential deportation. With this added to his visa revocations and protections terminations, Trump has been ushering the most aggressive reversal of immigration we've seen.
