There are now 2,365 local and state law enforcement agreements with ICE under the 287(g) program, a 1,650%+ increase since Trump returned to office — 70x higher than when Obama left office.

ICE partners now cover a third of the country, in the largest immigration deputization for mass deportations. 287(g) officers in red states allow ICE, Border Patrol and other federal agents to put more resources into blue states and uncooperative jurisdictions, expanding our effective enforcement coverage.

A Trump Ambassador has come out in defense of Nathan Confas, who was recently suspended by a university in Belgium for earnestly calling out black academic-fraudster Jason Arday.

“Dishonest, corrupt institutions that engage in, or reward, scapegoating mob behaviour are not desirable partners for us. This is particularly true where the purpose and effect of the scapegoating is to punish accurate journalism unearthing academic dishonesty.

“We are therefore reviewing any relationships we have with Ghent University … The ultimate purpose of freedom of speech is to overturn lies, fraud and false ideologies. This is precisely what Cofnas was doing, and precisely the reason his home institution wants to silence him.”

Thanks to our growing list of diplomatic third-country deportation partners, the U.S. can deport anyone anywhere if they choose to resist repatriation. A group of deportees tried to refuse deportation to Liberia, so they were dumped in another part of Africa.

Ecuador confirms the U.S. is inside the country conducting counter-terrorist, counter-cartel joint-operations to track down and kill drug-peddling narcos.

While influencers and the easily misled insist Trump is doing nothing on immigration, all reports and data prove the Trump admin is the toughest on immigration since 1924.

My friend Policy Puppet on Twitter, @ is sock_puppet1787, is working on a website to archive a sample of the wide array of executive action Trump is taking against mass migration, legal and illegal: https://immigration-action-tracker.pages.dev/

Across the board, Trump is doing more than any prior president to control and curb immigration. He has induced the greatest effort of reduction and removal — as cited in the hyperlinks — on record.

With record-breaking levels of interior enforcement, the strongest border and widest restrictions on lawful entry in history, this is the first executive war on mass migration. A better Republican Congress and continued Trump-aligned White House will take this even farther.

As students return to class this fall, academic institutions across the country report declines in foreign attendence and enrollment amid Trump's immigration crackdown.

In Maryland schools, hispanic student enrollment growth has gone negative for the first time in years.

The Trump admin is moving to make its $100,000 entry fee on H-1B permanent, refusing to back down after a court ruled the fee is 'illegal'.

This is the latest in a series of moves to constrain legal immigration programs that cannot be directly ended by the Executive Branch.

Recently the admin made final another fee that would hit H-1B extensions and L-1 transfers, and proposed ending the generous H-1B grace period.

Bloomberg says this $100,000 fee would apply to H-1B holders inside the U.S. too — those subject to the statutory cap — a massive escalation and expense for foreign workers, especially from India.

Trump's ICE arrested more than 1,300 aliens in the Virginia and Maryland area alone, within 2 weeks, marking one of the largest single-effort arrest totals in DHS history.

SCOTUS has cleared the way for Trump to enforce its election integrity effort with USPS and the DOJ, restricting mail-in voting and Democrat vote fraud ahead of the midterm elections.

The Trump Admin is reportedly preparing to revoke 'up to 200,000 foreigners' visas', which would be the largest revocation in U.S. history.

From 2001 to 2015, the U.S. revoked only 122,000 visas within 14 years. The Trump admin has revoked more than 175,000 visas within 18 months. Reaching 200,000 or adding an additional 200,000, either way, is a huge escalation.

In the 14 years after 9/11, from 2001 to 2015, the U.S. only revoked 122,000 visas. Since taking office, the Trump admin has revoked more than 175,000 visas — in just 18 months. Targeting 200,000 more foreigners on top of that would be decades worth of work in one term, one of many ways Trump is doing things that have never been done before.

In July, ICE made the most arrests in a single month while DHS carried out the highest level of removal flights seen so far.

July was the fourth month in a row of record-high removal flights and the second consecutive month of agency highs for ICE arrests and removals, outpacing previous decades of deportations. August is expected to perform just as well, continuing the ramp up in mass deportations.

Incredible.

New data shows that ICE, with quieter tactics and less trouble, is arresting record numbers of illegal aliens — “driven almost entirely by a focus on people with 'no' criminal history.” Even with Mullin's stated priority on the 'worst of the worst', the DHS is targeting all illegal aliens at a level never seen before.

The Trump administration has issued a pause on all visa appointments for all applicants in all countries, for now.

The worldwide moratorium will be in place while the State Department trains officials on how to identify and filter out foreigners who may pose a public charge risk to the country. This comes after a federal judge blocked the 75-country visa processing freeze which blanket-banned high-risk nationals.

Professional immigration advocates are horrified that the Trump admin is actually sweeping up all illegal aliens.

For the first time, the U.S. immigration system is being weaponized against immigration itself.

The Trump admin is restricting all legal migration categories while stripping legal status en masse, and has halted multiple entry programs that were abused while activating enforcement powers that have never been used. This graphic shows a sample of that unprecedented action.

Another pro-White win delivered by the Trump admin: U.S. schools are being directed to stop the practice of treating non-White students with more avoidant discipline policies, referred to as racial balancing, which was designed to spare black and brown students from the consequences of their actions.

Trump's State Department has just designated the far left tech group, A/I, Autistici/Inventati, as a global terrorist.

"Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) is an Italy-based extremist group that builds and operates the digital infrastructure for violent Antifa cells and other far-left militants across the world. A/I’s cadre of radical hackers and tech developers provide a full spectrum of services – including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools – to Marxist, anarchist, and other left-wing extremist groups in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere". Immediate sanctions are to be imposed.
