Remember when America’s laws actually meant something? When crossing our borders illegally had consequences instead of welcome committees? Those days aren’t just memories anymore – they’re back with a vengeance.
For years, we’ve watched our southern border transform into something that would make even the most hardened security professional question reality.
Cities from New York to Los Angeles have been drowning in an endless tide of illegal immigration, while career politicians wrung their hands and muttered about “comprehensive reform.”
But just like that moment when common sense finally breaks through bureaucratic paralysis, sometimes it takes the right leader to restore order. And by “right leader,” we mean someone who doesn’t need a focus group to understand what “illegal” means.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Friday that “deportation flights have begun,” backing up those words with photos showing illegal immigrants boarding military aircraft.
“President Trump is sending a strong and clear message to the entire world: if you illegally enter the United States of America, you will face severe consequences,” she declared, proving that sometimes the best policy innovations are simply enforcing existing laws.
The Great American Cleanup Begins
In the first 33 hours of operations – yes, just 33 hours – ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations arrested more than 460 illegal immigrants with serious criminal histories.
We’re talking sexual assault, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, drug trafficking, weapons offenses, and domestic violence. These weren’t exactly valedictorians overstaying their student visas.
The operation’s scope is truly global, with arrests including nationals from fourteen different countries spanning four continents. From Afghanistan to Venezuela, it’s become clear that America’s new message resonates in every language: illegal entry has consequences.
Military Precision Meets Border Security
For the first time since 2019, America’s military assets are being deployed to actually secure America. The administration has activated C-17 Globemaster III aircraft – massive military transport planes capable of carrying 102 tons of cargo – to transport deportees.
Each aircraft can accommodate up to 80 passengers per flight, making quick work of returning illegal entrants to their countries of origin.
From ‘Si Se Puede’ to ‘See Ya Later’
Border communities are already reporting positive changes. CBP sources confirmed to Fox News that deportation flights are departing from multiple locations, including El Paso’s Biggs Army Airfield.
Local residents, long overwhelmed by the border crisis, are seeing immediate results from these enforcement actions.
Predictably, sanctuary city mayors are having collective meltdowns. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka called the operation an “egregious act,” apparently shocked that federal laws apply even in New Jersey.
Meanwhile, Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) delivered the mathematical truth of the century: “In 4 days President Trump has done more to protect our country than Biden did in 4 years.”
Key Takeaways:
- Trump deploys military aircraft in unprecedented show of border enforcement strength.
- Over 460 criminal aliens arrested in first 33 hours – including violent offenders.
- Sanctuary city mayors scramble as law and order returns to immigration policy.
- Border state officials report immediate positive impact on local communities.
