Under President Trump's foreign policy, immigration is a top priority. We've made deals with 30~ foreign countries so far to intercept, incarcerate or take migrants for us as a practical reverse refugee system.

Taking down the cartels in Latin America and the terrorists in the Middle East would enable even broader remigration operations, for America and for Europe, as the United States would have authority over intercontinental movement in a brand new way, with less interference.

DHS shutdown officially ended, DHS can open back up to its proper capacity.

The DHS funding bill signed today does not include extra funding for ICE or CBP, but both agencies remain open and fully funded. House GOP and Senate are still pursuing a separate bill, independent of Democrats, to give ICE and CBP an extra infusion of billions of dollars to double down on immigration enforcement.

both agencies remain open and fully funded
President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill gave ICE and CBP a massive funding shield to operate for the next few years relatively unbothered by Congress. An additional bunch of cash on top would boost their arrest and deportations performance.

Collateral arrests of immigrants have risen even in states without viral raids.

West Virginia arrested over 10% of its noncitizen population in 8 months with the help of 287(g) agreements with police & ICE. State and local involvement produces long-term deportations.

That said, hardcore federal surges like we saw in Minneapolis, Chicago, L.A. are an effective way to net a bunch of people and could be feasible if ICE, CBP have even better community support e.g. to operate detention facilities.

As of April 27, 2026 we have surpassed 1,740~ 287(g) agreements between ICE and state and local law enforcement
We've finished out April at 1,770 police agreements with ICE. Compared to the Obama peak of 75.

Trump: 'Somalia, it's a beautiful place. It's got no anything. It has no government, no military, no police. It's got one thing that's really strong -- crime. All they do is run around shooting each other. It's filthy dirty, disgusting dirty. A horrible place. They come here, like Ilhan Omar. Ilhan comes to the United States and says 'The Constitution gives me certain rights.' Get the hell out of here.'

Taken seriously Republican voters and representatives could reclaim the White vote as a solid, fairly judged majority in the South and several other red areas.
Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, possibly South Carolina next, are moving at a fast pace to flip their Democrat districts into Republican districts. This is a big change across South if all of them succeed, as Florida's legislature has already done.

Before President Trump took office the FBI had only 279 or fewer personnel working on immigration matters. After Trump took over, the FBI shifted a quarter of its entire staff to immigration; from 200 pre-Trump to 9,000 under him.

Since the drama over the domestic terrorists subdued by CBP in Minnesota has calmed down, Border Patrol intends to continue surging a flow of agents into the interior to help ICE hit higher totals.

These Border Patrol resources will have targets but all illegals encountered, since they're all criminals, are subject to arrest and subsequent deportation if they do not leave the country on their own, CBP Commissioner says.

My overview of the transformation of law enforcement under President Trump:

1) Homeland Security has established a first ever nationwide, permanent task force integrating federal oversight into state and local agencies for effective counter-cartel operations. Operating since September 2025.

2) DOJ combined all fraud enforcement under one superior division, the National Fraud Enforcement Division, to directly target fraud of all types, especially with immigrant or financial ties. Chaired by JD Vance, led by AAG MacDonald, operating since April, 2026.

3) Long-Term Safe Task Forces patrolling U.S. cities are deployed with authority to arrest criminals, partnering with federal legal resources for prosecution. D.C. has seen 11,700+ arrests since August, 2025 and Memphis has 8,500+ since Sep 2025.

4) Law Enforcement cooperation with ICEβ€”287(g) programβ€”is larger, broader and deeper than ever. In 2016 there were only 35 law enforcement agencies assisting immigration; by 2024 it was 135. In May 2026 we have 1,780.

Laramie County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) in Wyoming arrested over 80 people during truck stops, half of whom were illegals. This was done thanks to their 287(g) agreement to help ICE catch aliens.

President Trump shares a study showing that immigrants from Northern Europe, the Anglosphere and Japan are positive contributions to society while immigrants from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and especially Somalia, are a drain on us.

Recent analyses show Trump's ICE arrest and removal rate outpaces multiple Obama and Biden years combined, even after the Minnesota operations.

March was met by rule changes and new judges to kick deportations back up, and we gained nearly 200 new 287(g) police agreements with ICE in April. If Congress can pass a second reconciliation to fund ICE and CBP with another surplus, our detention and deportation capacity can safely increase.
