For nearly 30 years, law enforcement agreements with ICE under the 287(g) program were practically unused. 287(g) agreements allow local and state law enforcement to assist or even act as immigration officers, to identify and arrest illegal aliens.

From 1996 to 2016, we never reached 100 agreements total. Now, in 2026 we are gaining over 100 agreements every month. Under Trump, there are 2,179 active agreements and counting, compared to Obama's peak of 72.

Trump: I hope everyone got to enjoy their entire, very delicious beef tenderloin, and I want you all to know that (RFK) Bobby Kennedy personally ran over the cow in his car and cut it up, and brought it here for you to eat tonight, so it's very fresh.

[Trump at the White House Dinner] "After hearing the gunshots, many people yelled 'Get down!, Get down!', which caused Nicki Minaj to start twerking. Do you believe it?"

"I am pleased to announce my intention to run for a fourth term, as president of the United States. I will be doing that. I won three times, I'm gonna do it again."

Another state has its in-state tuition benefits for illegal aliens shot down.

Immigration courts have effectively become remigration courts in 2026, as removal is ordered at record highs while relief remains at record lows.

The Chicago court has been issuing over a hundred deportations a day due to the new mega hearings tactic, which began in late May.

Federal financial regulators have joined the ongoing war on mass migration.

FDIC, CFPB, FinCEN, et al. now formally label illegal aliens as credit risks, often tied to fraud and crime. Altogether, the series of guidance advises banks and credit unions against providing services to unauthorized migrants, which sets up footing for mass debanking and can push foreign workers into self-deportation.

Following America's lead, Venezuela has swiftly withdrawn from the International Criminal Court, signaling its allegiance to the global agenda of the United States.

Immigration advocates and attorneys say migrants are more afraid now than ever, as ICE is silently arresting record numbers of illegals with less pushback and less publicity than before.

June saw ICE’s highest-ever monthly total. July is already outpacing it, and DHS is ramping up to go even harder. This is being done with a relatively small number of ERO agents per city.

The Trump admin is advancing a new rule for USCIS to refer certain alien asylum applications directly to immigration court, skipping the lengthy interview process. Immigration Court currently denies 90%+ of asylum claims, meaning most will be shoved right into a removal process.

Immigration courts under Trump have the lowest asylum grant rate in history, bond is more expensive than ever, so removal is now regular while relief is now rare.

Fast-tracking these applications, then denying their claims, broadens the scope of deportations and will increase alien departures, either voluntary or coerced.

ICE has begun surging agents to conduct more street arrests in New York City, starting with Queens.

New York Democrats are banning law enforcement agencies in the state from helping ICE by late August, so the DHS is retaliating against that restriction ahead of the deadline.

Confirmed ICE arrests in and around New York City have already risen by at least 70%, and continued despite Democrat obstruction. This surge is not the start of ICE activity there, it's an escalation of their operations. Arrests since Mullin took over are higher than under Noem — this chart ends before Mullin begins.

ICE is quietly carrying out more frequent worksite raids and farm-related arrests. In New York, dozens of migrant workers are being taken with little public pushback.

Residents in the area say it's the 'largest wave of immigration enforcement they've seen'.

Another ANTIFA agitator taken down. Ginovanni Brumbelow has plead guilty to assault on a law enforcement officer while rioting against ICE. Brumbelow faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and years of supervised release. He will be sentenced on October 19, 2026, before a U.S. district court judge.

More rounds of purges in the Intelligence agency under Trump's new DNI, Pulte.

Stephen Miller: “The U.S. southern border has been the scene of some of the most important military fights in the history of this country.

The nation that we live in today, the territory that we occupy today, the security that we have today was achieved by prior generations who were fighting out on that frontier to secure a homeland for their people. That is the legacy that you inherit and that you continue.

There's a reason President Trump designated the Mexican Cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. The Mexican Drug Cartels occupy the same legal position as ISIS or Al Qaeda, but they operate right where you show up to perform your duties every single day.”

SecWar Hegseth, "For over a year, there have been effectively zero illegals crossing our border — because we decided our soil, our homeland, will be defended, and we give our troops maximum authority to stop the invasion."
