The Drug Enforcement Agency&#8217;s (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division led a multi-agency raid early Sunday morning, swarming a nightclub that was being used as a base for Tren de Aragua gang members, and coming out with over 100 illegal immigrants in custody.
The DEA shared video from the raid, which included assistance from the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department, during which they also recovered weapons and drugs.

Multi-Agency Raid Hits Tren De Aragua Hotspot: Officials Take More Than 100 Into Custody

Tren De Aragua

Federal agents arrested a former New Mexico Democrat judge and his wife on Thursday after they were accused of harboring a suspected member of Tren de Aragua at their home. 
Former Dona Ana County Magistrate Judge Jose “Joel” Cano and his wife, Nancy, were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at their home in Las Cruces, KFOX14 <a href="https://kfoxtv.com/news/local/home-of-ex-judge-raided-after-claims-of-hosting-tren-de-aragua-gang-member-in-las-cruces-cristhian-ortega-lopez-dona-ana-county-venezuela-joel-cano-nancy-tda-nm-hsi-homeland-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Both the 67-year-old former judge and his wife are <a href="https://apps.donaanacounty.org/www/sites/all/modules/dac/dac_inmates/dac_create_pdf.php?&amp;GCode=4&amp;FelonID=2500003171&amp;FelonPIC=387831&amp;CurrentFlag=0">charged</a> with tampering with evidence. 
The couple is currently in custody at the Dona Ana County Jail, awaiting their appearance in federal court. They were arrested as part of a probe by Homeland Security Investigations into their association with 23-year-old Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, who authorities say is linked to Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang that has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the Trump administration. Ortega-Lopez was arrested at the Canos&#8217; home in February. 
“Under President Trump, we have arrested over 150,000 aliens—including more than 600 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem <a href="https://x.com/Sec_Noem/status/1915559976229052564">said</a>, commenting on the arrest. “If you are here illegally and break the law, we will hunt you down, arrest you and lock you up. That’s a promise.”
Cano resigned from his judgeship earlier this week and was banned by the New Mexico Supreme Court from holding any judicial office again. The court <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-mexico-supreme-court-bans-judge-after-alleged-tda-member-arrested-home">ordered</a> that Cano “shall never again hold, become a candidate for, run for, or stand for election to any New Mexico judicial office in the future.”
Ortega-Lopez, originally from Venezuela, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-judge-resigns-after-harboring-alleged-tren-de-aragua-gang-member" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was accused</a> of illegal entry to the United States near Eagle Pass, Texas. He spent three days in Border Patrol custody before he was released because of overcrowded facilities at the Border Patrol’s South Laredo, Texas, processing center, according to court records, the Albuquerque Journal <a href="https://www.abqjournal.com/news/article_47926b51-d481-4aa9-8d76-5de8cc13809b.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawJwuu9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHn4jO0OhVrwODcJdaJgEwwkzhtKl5MdUs320h3z25_0FkfgnT9xnpoaAox6a_aem_F7zjdLNkrsY9LSG6RfZRmA">reported</a>. He met Nancy in El Paso, where he was working as a construction worker and handyman, and she offered for him to stay in a small house behind their home.
Ortega-Lopez has been charged with being an unlawful alien in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and is seen in court documents holding guns.
Cano has denied any knowledge of the suspected ties between Ortega-Lopez and Tren De Aragua. Investigators have said that they have text messages and voice mail messages that confirm the links to the notorious gang.
“Let me be as crystal clear as possible,” Cano <a href="https://www.koat.com/article/las-cruces-former-judge-allegations-gang-new-mexico/64583129" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the New Mexico Supreme Court. “The very first time I ever heard that the boys could possibly have any association with Tren de Aragua was when I was informed of that by [the] agents on the day of the raid.”

As if being a country music star and successful businessman weren&#8217;t enough, John Rich has a new mission.
The singer is working to raise awareness about the dangers of child sexual extortion, or <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dozens-of-teen-boys-take-their-own-lives-as-online-sextortion-cases-spike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“sextortion”</a> – a form of harassment wherein an offender coerces or tricks a minor into sending them sexually explicit images or videos, and then threatens to release the content unless the child furnishes more sexual content or some form of payment. As The Daily Wire reported, sextortion has led dozens of young boys to commit suicide.
On Wednesday, Rich is teaming up with the Department of Homeland Security to host an X Space that he says is the most vital information he’s ever put out on social media. Rich will be joined by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Special Agent Dennis Fetting. It will air live at 8 p.m. Eastern on Rich’s X account, <a href="https://x.com/johnrich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@JohnRich</a>. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
7CST tomorrow night, a livestream event with <a href="https://twitter.com/DHSgov?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DHSgov</a> and myself, right here on my <a href="https://twitter.com/X?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@x</a> channel for parents and teens. This is a VERY important presentation if you have kids. Please watch the video for details, and please repost🙏 <a href="https://t.co/Fl2RHduTdM">pic.twitter.com/Fl2RHduTdM</a>
— John Rich🇺🇸 (@johnrich) <a href="https://twitter.com/johnrich/status/1914807009355931693?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 22, 2025</a></blockquote>
Rich said he’ll be acting as the “sit-in parent on behalf of American parents,” asking all the important questions you’d want to know. 
“Spend 60 minutes watching it. It will change the way you perceive what&#8217;s going on around your kids,&#8221; Rich told The Daily Wire. &#8220;It can save your kid’s life. It could definitely save their future.”
Rich has been an advocate for children for years now, <a href="https://tennesseestar.com/news/country-music-star-john-rich-testifies-before-tennessee-house-criminal-justice-committee-on-pornographic-material-in-schools/klbaigert/2022/02/24/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testifying</a> before the Tennessee House of Representatives in 2022 about removing pornography and obscene content from K-12 schools in the state. Asked if there was a specific moment he felt he had to do something about child exploitation and abuse, Rich replied: &#8220;When I became a dad.” 
Still, Rich only learned about child sextortion a few months ago, after his wife and 15-year-old son attended a talk on the subject by Homeland Security Agent Dennis Fetting.
Rich and his wife immediately changed the settings on their kids’ technology. Rich&#8217;s marketing mind also kicked in, and he got to work thinking about how he could spread the word to as many parents as possible
“I was astonished not only by what he said, but how my wife reacted to it and my son,” he recalled. “So I went into the DHS.gov site and looked up <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/know2protect" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Know2Protect,&#8221;</a> he said. &#8220;I read through that and went, &#8216;This needs to be seen by everybody.’”
Then, he shot Fetting an email.
“I do know Secretary Kristi Noem — but she’s rather hard to get on the phone these days, so I didn&#8217;t go to her with this,” he said with a chuckle. “I actually called the local DHS agency in Tennessee and said, ‘Hey, it&#8217;s John Rich. Here&#8217;s the idea: I wanna get with an agent, do a live stream on X, other platforms as well, where we can get this broad message out.’ I said, ‘I know you&#8217;ve got a website, but people are too busy. They&#8217;re not gonna go looking up a website. Let&#8217;s put it right in front of them and let&#8217;s have a conversation, more than a seminar.’”
The Trump administration listened to him, kicked it up the flagpole extremely quickly, and Noem signed on immediately.
“It&#8217;s one great thing about the Trump administration — on top of a lot of great things — they&#8217;re accessible,” he said, adding that “They want to have a positive impact.&#8221;
&#8220;They wanna work with you, and they&#8217;re listening. They&#8217;re listening to the general public.&#8221;
“I&#8217;m fully aware of the dangers that are out there for our kids right now — it&#8217;s totally different than when I grew up,” Rich said. “They are being targeted on apps, video games, social media — places you would never dream of, on innocent-sounding games like Roblox, Minecraft, things like that, where predators are acting like they&#8217;re another kid and they&#8217;re creating a relationship with your kid, and then they lower the boom, then they start to extort and extort.”
“They do everything from force the kids to send nude pictures of themselves, to take pictures of their parents&#8217; credit cards front and back so they can extort money,” Rich continued. “They threaten them with killing their family, burning their house down, posting the pictures all online.”
“It results in kids, some of them becoming suicidal — it’s a major, major problem,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So to me, millions of parents needed to hear about this.” 
Rich underscored how Homeland Security, in his experience, was eager and open to listening to him and put things into action. He encouraged others to use their platforms in this space. In particular, he called on celebrities to speak out — but he&#8217;s not optimistic that Hollywood will rise to the occasion.
&#8220;A lot of what Hollywood&#8217;s been about is the exploitation of children,” Rich said. “So, they would have to put something out that rebuts their own stances.”
“I mean, that&#8217;s just the truth. I&#8217;m sorry, that&#8217;s hard to hear, but that&#8217;s really what it is,” he said. “If you look at the way they sexualize children in Hollywood, that&#8217;s not theory anymore. That&#8217;s part of the ethos.”
It&#8217;s up to parents, Rich said, to educate their children on the dangers of sextortion.
“You put fear into your son or daughter about not playing in the street. Do you put fear into your son or daughter about not talking to strangers, or don&#8217;t take a pill if somebody hands you one, or whatever it might be? Of course you do,” Rich said. “That&#8217;s part of being a good parent.”
“Well, now it&#8217;s time to put fear into them, a healthy fear about what they&#8217;re dealing with online, and do not trust anybody that you don&#8217;t know personally online,” he added. 
Rich hopes that his livestream is just the beginning of a longer conversation, and a continued awareness campaign.
&#8220;This needs to be a viral moment in America,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Parents need to have a viral moment with what&#8217;s gonna happen tonight on this live stream. The livestream will be recorded and posted to YouTube and Rumble. It&#8217;s gonna live on forever and ever.&#8221;
You can watch the X Space tonight, live, at 8 p.m. Eastern, on <a href="https://x.com/johnrich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rich&#8217;s X account</a>.

How Country Star John Rich Teamed Up With Kristi Noem To Combat Child Sextortion

A Biden-appointed U.S. judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump&#8217;s plan to rapidly deport migrants to third countries, requiring the administration to give individuals a &#8220;meaningful opportunity&#8221; to contest their removal before deportation.
U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy&#8217;s preliminary injunction prohibits immigration officials from deporting migrants to countries other than their own without giving them the chance to demonstrate fears of persecution or torture.
The Massachusetts-based judge&#8217;s decision represents another obstacle for the Trump administration&#8217;s immigration enforcement efforts since returning to office in January, although the Trump administration immediately indicated it plans to appeal Murphy&#8217;s decision.
In February, DHS had instructed immigration officers to review cases of migrants who had been granted protections against returning to their home countries, examining whether they could be detained and sent to alternative third countries instead.
The directive would have <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-trump-policy-speed-deportations-cannot-be-implemented-us-judge-rules-2025-04-18/">affected</a> hundreds, if not thousands, of migrants currently in the United States, requiring officials to give them a “meaningful opportunity&#8221; to argue their case in U.S. court before deportation, per Reuters.
The ruling affects migrants who have been granted limited protections against returning to their home countries due to potential persecution or torture.
&#8220;The Court has found it likely that these deportations have or will be wrongfully executed and that there has at least been no opportunity for Plaintiffs to demonstrate the substantial harms they might face,&#8221; wrote Murphy in his decision, adding that the administration&#8217;s revised guidance still &#8220;fails to safeguard basic rights.&#8221;
&#8220;The protections the court has ordered here are critical to make sure DHS does not turn around and ship them to a third country where they would face the same harms,&#8221; said Human Rights First attorney Anwen Hughes, who represents the plaintiffs.
Trump’s immigration agenda has faced persistent judicial obstacles, with federal courts frequently issuing nationwide injunctions that halt policies aimed at securing the border, with the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/scotus-to-hear-case-on-judges-blocking-trumps-plan-to-end-birthright-citizenship?author=Nathan+Gay&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=SCOTUS+To+Hear+Case+On+Judges+Blocking+Trump%E2%80%99s+Plan+To+End+Birthright+Citizenship">set</a> to review this issue in mid-May.
Even after DHS <a href="https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/dwpkjqaoyvm/04102025guidance.pdf">issued</a> revised guidance in March requiring diplomatic assurances that migrants would not face persecution in third countries, the judge found these protections inadequate.
&#8220;Even if such blanket assurances might, in some individual cases, satisfy due process, the March Guidance precludes any further review prior to removal,&#8221; Murphy wrote. &#8220;Without meaningful review, the rights Congress has provided are little more than dead letter.&#8221;

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump Plan For Rapid Third-Country Deportations

Trump Administration

U.S.

Nejwa Ali, a former spokeswoman for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) who the Department of Homeland Security hired and put in charge of vetting asylum seekers, was fired by the Trump administration in February after the Biden administration declined to do so for 14 months after she pledged her support for Hamas.
Former President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, removed Ali from duty on October 19, 2023, days after The Daily Wire documented her celebration of the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel. But instead of firing her, Mayorkas continued to pay her, placing her on paid leave for an “investigation” even as she repeatedly and proudly affirmed her hatred of Jews and allegiance to the Palestinian cause, and used the paid leave to protest Israel during work hours.
Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire this week that Ali was removed from federal service on February 10, meaning she received 16 months of salary without having to work.
Ali worked in 2016 and 2017 as a public affairs officer for the &#8220;PLO office in D.C,&#8221; according to her LinkedIn. That office was expelled from the country because it is a designated terror organization. But Ali landed on her feet, securing a job at DHS as an &#8220;Asylum Officer,&#8221; where she was tasked with &#8220;applying immigration laws and regulations to asylum applications.&#8221;
Ali posted incessantly about her affinity for the Palestinian cause on social media, with increasingly over-the-top rhetoric after the October 7 terror attack. The Daily Wire&#8217;s initial report on Ali highlighted how she repeatedly posted pictures of Hamas terrorists parachuting in with guns and writing, “F*** Israel and any Jew who supports Israel.&#8221;

Ali threatened to call the police on The Daily Wire for writing about her. Then, after the story ran, she said by phone: &#8220;I <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dhs-puts-pro-hamas-immigrant-screener-on-leave-as-she-reaffirms-that-she-celebrates-terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abso-f***ing-lutely celebrate</a> [Palestinian terrorist hang-gliders], a**hole, f*** you!&#8221; The Daily Wire provided audio of that call to Mayorkas’s DHS.
In January 2023, Ali became an Adjudication Officer for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. People with that job, according to the agency, “analyze new or amended legislation and policy, prepare written reports of findings, and review and make determinations on cases for immigration benefits.”
The hiring — which initially occurred during the first Trump administration — suggested that not only were “asylum officers” not thoroughly vetting applicants to weed out fraudsters and terrorists, but even the screeners themselves were not vetted.

This month, DHS said that had changed: Citizenship and Immigration Services is now <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homeland-security-to-screen-immigrants-and-foreign-students-social-media-for-anti-semitism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">screening applicants’ social media</a> for any evidence that “indicates an alien endorsing, espousing, promoting, or supporting antisemitic terrorism, anti-Semitic terrorist organizations, or other antisemitic activity as a negative factor in any USCIS discretionary analysis when adjudicating immigration benefit requests.”
And the Citizenship and Immigration Services screener whose own social media was a stream of such content was also fired — raising even more questions about why Mayorkas couldn&#8217;t or wouldn&#8217;t do it, despite Ali&#8217;s openness about her views.
Weeks after The Daily Wire’s exposé, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) grilled Mayorkas about it at a hearing, saying, &#8220;What about people who say things like, on October 7, ‘F*** Israel, the government and its military, are you ready for your downfall.’ People who say things like, ‘F*** Israel and any Jew who supports Israel. May your conscience haunt your dreams until your last breath, Palestine will be free one day, f*** apartheid Israel and any Israeli.’ &#8230; This person works for you. This is Nejwa Ali, an employee of the Department of Homeland Security who posted these comments on October the 7th. She also posted this graphic … a Hamas paraglider depicted here with a machine gun flying into Israel.

Six months later, Mayorkas confirmed to the Senate that Ali was still on paid leave, even as she used her paid leave to protest in front of the Israeli Embassy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/immigration-agent-who-celebrates-hamas-is-using-paid-leave-from-dhs-to-threaten-military-officials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during work hours</a>, and to dox military members there.
Ali herself seemed shocked that Mayorkas hadn’t fired her, and gloated about the secretary&#8217;s inaction. When someone wrote on her LinkedIn page, “When you do everything you can to get fired but the boss says NO,” she replied with a stream of laughing emotions and wrote, “hilarious, seriously.”
When someone posted that Ali “hasn’t yet been fired by” Mayorkas, Ali commented that she was “still laughing too. #freePalestine from APARTHEID Israel.”
Another LinkedIn user said, “Nejwa, as much as I believe in free speech and every American being entitled to develop and express their own opinion, tha [sic] ends when you’re a representative of the US and mpre [sic] implicitly, when dealing with immigration with the very people you are calling for total annihilation against.” Ali replied: “Listen white women, shut the F*** UP.”

Democrats opposed the move, saying Ali should be afforded due process. They have not explained whether they think a form of due process that prevents firing for more than a year needs reform.
That same month, the Center to Advance Security in America filed a lawsuit seeking records about how Ali was hired and how she handled asylum vetting after Mayorkas <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dhs-faces-lawsuit-over-ex-plo-spokeswoman-it-hired-to-vet-immigrants-kept-paying-despite-anti-semitism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refused</a> to fulfill the request.

DHS Official Who Openly Cheered Hamas Fired After 16 Months Of Paid Leave

A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from ending a Biden-era program that provided legal status to hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. 
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said that the Trump administration could not end former President Joe Biden’s CHNV (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela) immigration parole program without granting a case-by-case review to its more than 500,000 recipients. In her decision, Talwani sided with a number of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-tells-hundreds-of-thousands-of-biden-paroled-aliens-in-u-s-to-leave" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHNV recipients</a> who had sued the Trump administration over the decision to end the program early on April 24.  
“The immediate impact of the shortening of their grant of parole is to cause their lawful status in the United States to lapse early — in less than two weeks. If their parole status is allowed to lapse, Plaintiffs will be faced with two unfavorable options: continue following the law and leave the country on their own, or await removal proceedings,” Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote in a 41-page ruling. 
Talwani said that the Trump administration hadn’t considered humanitarian reasons when it moved to end the program. 
Biden began the program first for Venezuelans in 2022 before expanding it to include the other three countries in 2023. Each month, this allowed tens of thousands of people from each country to obtain legal protections in the United States, known as immigration parole. The Biden administration billed the program as a way to decrease illegal immigration from the CHNV countries by creating “legal pathways” for those immigrants to use instead of trying to unlawfully cross the southern border. 
Each recipient was supposed to be vetted for national security purposes and had to prove they had a financial sponsor already in the United States. The Trump administration has argued that the Biden administration poorly vetted those it allowed into the country. Some data from the program showed evidence of fraud, as <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/biden-admin-may-restart-immigration-program-paused-for-possible-fraud-rcna168440" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one review</a> found that 3,218 people applied to sponsor around 101,000 migrants. 
President Donald Trump directed the program to be shut down, and the Department of Homeland Security published a <a href="https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-05128.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notice</a> in the Federal Register on March 25 revealing its decision to terminate the program by April 24. 
“These programs do not serve a significant public benefit, are not necessary to reduce levels of illegal immigration, did not sufficiently mitigate the domestic effects of illegal immigration, are not serving their intended purposes, and are inconsistent with the Administration’s foreign policy goals,” DHS said in its notice. 
The department added that it planned to remove individuals from the program after the April 24 expiration and encouraged recipients to voluntarily leave the country before that deadline.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller called the ruling an example of &#8220;judicial tyranny.&#8221;
&#8220;Marxist judge orders federal government to provide amnesty to half a million illegal aliens that Biden criminally flew into American towns,&#8221; he posted on X. &#8220;This is a legal insurrection against democracy itself.&#8221;

The Social Security Administration is literally killing thousands of numbers that were assigned to illegal aliens.
With a Social Security number, illegal aliens can work in the United States and receive a wide range of taxpayer-funded benefits. The Trump administration is trying to take away the incentive for illegal aliens to stay in the United States and swiftly remove them from the system, treating them the same as it would someone who had died.
The Trump administration is putting the Social Security numbers of more than 6,000 illegal aliens into the same database that dead people&#8217;s numbers go into, a novel maneuver that effectively strips the individuals of their numbers and makes them ineligible for benefits. Of those illegal aliens entered into the database for dead people, the White House said that nearly 1,000 were receiving Medicaid benefits, while others were given student loans or collecting unemployment insurance.
“President Trump promised mass deportations and by removing the monetary incentive for illegal aliens to come and stay, we will encourage them to self deport,” said White House spokeswoman Elizabeth Huston. “He is delivering on his promise he made to the American people.”
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/04/10/self-deportation-immigrants-social-security-dead/">According</a> to the Washington Post, one anonymous White House official claimed that the Social Security numbers that were logged into the database had all been assigned to illegal aliens with criminal records or ties to terrorist activity. Another 92,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions are expected to have their Social Security numbers entered into the database, the official went on to tell the outlet.
Some of those affected are aliens who received legitimate Social Security numbers under the Biden administration’s temporary work programs that have ended, meaning they have lost their legal status.
The move comes after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Acting Social Security Commissioner Leland Dudek authorized Social Security to place illegal alien numbers into the death file for national security reasons.
The Social Security Administration has seemingly had a lot of trouble reclassifying recipients who are actually dead. Elon Musk&#8217;s DOGE found that Social Security payments were being sent to people who were 115 years old or older. Social security numbers belonging to people between the ages of one and five years old and to people not even born were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/people-who-havent-been-born-yet-collected-millions-in-federal-unemployment-doge">found</a> by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project to be receiving Social Security benefits.
A DOGE official recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doge-official-more-than-one-million-migrants-on-medicaid-thousands-on-voter-rolls?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=DOGE+Official%3A+More+Than+One+Million+Migrants+On+Medicaid%2C+Thousands+On+Voter+Rolls">warned</a> that more than a million illegal aliens are receiving Medicaid benefits and that thousands of them are on voter rolls.
Immigration experts have highlighted other ways to compel illegal aliens to self-deport, most notably by passing a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-one-simple-trick-that-could-lead-illegal-immigrants-to-self-deport?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=9&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=The+One+Simple+Trick+That+Could+Lead+Illegal+Immigrants+To+Self-Deport">national E-Verify mandate </a>in an attempt to prevent them from obtaining employment. If implemented, experts say, the law would eliminate a major incentive for illegal immigration and hinder illegal aliens’ ability to remain in the United States.

The Department of Homeland Security announced that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will immediately begin screening immigrants’ social media for anti-Semitic content and any history of physically harassing Jews.
The <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/dhs-to-begin-screening-aliens-social-media-activity-for-antisemitism">announcement</a> comes as the Trump administration arrests foreign students who had their visas revoked for involvement in anti-Semitic campus protests that have led to vandalism, harassment, and taking over campus buildings.
Any information found may be grounds for denying immigration benefit requests for immigrants applying for permanent residency, foreign students, and individuals affiliated with educational institutions linked to anti-Semitic activity.
In the screening process, USCIS will consider any social media content that “indicates an alien endorsing, espousing, promoting, or supporting antisemitic terrorism, anti-Semitic terrorist organizations, or other antisemitic activity as a negative factor in any USCIS discretionary analysis when adjudicating immigration benefit requests.”
DHS added that it will enforce all immigration laws and protect the homeland from terrorist aliens who support anti-Semitic terrorism, violent anti-Semitic ideologies, and various terrorist organizations, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
According to DHS, the move is consistent with President Donald Trump’s executive orders issued to combat rising anti-Semitism.
“There is no room in the United States for the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathizers, and we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here,” said DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin. “Sec. Noem has made it clear that anyone who thinks they can come to America and hide behind the First Amendment to advocate for anti-Semitic violence and terrorism — think again. You are not welcome here.”
Last month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-on-turkish-visa-student-getting-deported-i-encourage-every-country-to-do-that">explained</a> that the students being deported would not have been permitted into the United States if the government knew what they would do once reaching campus.
“If you apply for a visa to enter the United States and be a student and you tell us that the reason why you’re coming to the United States is not just because you want to write op-eds, but because you want to participate in movements that are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students, taking over buildings, creating a ruckus, we’re not going to give you a visa,” Rubio said. “If you lie to us and get a visa and then enter the United States and with that visa, participate in that sort of activity, we’re going to take away your visa.”
Rubio added that once a student loses their visa, they are no longer legally in the United States, and can be deported.
“I think it’s crazy to invite students into your country that are coming onto your campus and destabilizing it,” Rubio said. “Every country in the world has a right to decide who comes in as a visitor and who doesn’t.”

The Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will fine migrants nearly $1,000 every day they stay in the United States past the date of their deportation order.
The Trump DHS will enforce a 1996 law that allows it to impose a fine of $998 on migrants for every day they stay past the date of their removal order. The administration <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-plans-fine-migrants-998-100644909.html">says</a> it will enforce the penalties retroactively to cover up to five years, resulting in fines of more than $1 million against offenders.
The government could even seize the assets of migrants who refuse to leave the United States on their own accord despite having an order of removal.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin explained that migrants can inform the government of their intent to depart the country via the Customs and Border Patrol <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-transforms-bidens-cbp-one-app-leave-now-and-self-deport">Home app, </a>an overhauled version of the CBP One app that the Biden administration used to streamline the flow of migrants into the United States.
“If they don’t, they will face the consequences,” McLaughlin charged. “This includes a fine of $998 per day for every day that the illegal alien overstayed their final deportation order.”
The fines could affect roughly 1.4 million illegal aliens who currently have active removal orders. The administration is <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-plans-fine-migrants-998-100644909.html">reportedly</a> encouraging Customs and Border Protection to administer the financial penalties and the seizure of property, though the Department of Justice’s civil asset forfeitures division could also be employed.
Scott Shuchart, a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement policy official under the Biden administration, said that the fines can be challenged by migrants in court, but that the risk of fines will “project fear” among illegal aliens.
The measure from the Trump administration is the latest method that the Republican president is using to encourage the voluntary departure of illegal aliens from the United States. Immigration experts recently told The Daily Wire that the Trump administration and his allies in Congress could effectively encourage self-deportations by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-one-simple-trick-that-could-lead-illegal-immigrants-to-self-deport?row=0&amp;elementPosition=5&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;title=The+One+Simple+Trick+That+Could+Lead+Illegal+Immigrants+To+Self-Deport&amp;category=News">mandating</a> a national employment verification process called E-Verify, which aims to prevent illegal aliens from illegally obtaining jobs with American employers.

Deportations

Top Trump administration officials promised Monday to continue deporting suspected gang members after the Supreme Court ruled against a federal judge blocking the deportations from taking place under the Alien Enemies Act. 
 In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court overturned a block on carrying out the deportations imposed on the Trump administration by D.C. District Court Judge James Boasberg. After the ruling, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated as a terrorist organization, should leave the country now or face deportation.
“Following tonight’s landmark Supreme Court ruling, the American people can rest assured that [Noem], [Border czar Tom Homan] and I will direct our assets to scour the country for any remnants of Tren De Aragua and DEPORT THEM,” Bondi posted on X.

Those comments were echoed by Noem, who has toured the El Salvadorian prison where the administration sent around 250 suspected members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua last month. 
“President Trump was proven RIGHT once again! SCOTUS confirms our Commander-in-Chief Donald J. Trump has the power to stop the invasion of our country by terrorists using war time powers. LEAVE NOW or we will arrest you, lock you up and deport you,” Noem said.

In its <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a931_2c83.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruling</a>, the Supreme Court said that while potential deportees must get due process, the cases should not be litigated in the District of Columbia but in Texas, where the suspected gang members were in custody. 
“The detainees seek equitable relief against the implementation of the Proclamation and against their removal under the AEA. They challenge the Government’s interpretation of the Act and assert that they do not fall within the category of removable alien enemies. But we do not reach those arguments,” the majority wrote. “The detainees are confined in Texas, so venue is improper in the District of Columbia.”
Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the court’s three liberal justices dissented. 
President Donald Trump celebrated the decision, saying it would allow him to protect the border. 
“The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to be able to secure our Borders, and protect our families and our Country, itself,” he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114299368234840539" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on Truth Social. “A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!”

Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made it clear on Friday that he had absolutely zero interest in discussing the recently-secured state of the United States-Mexico border.
Mayorkas, when confronted at an airport by The Blaze national correspondent Julio Rosas, made every effort instead to beat a hasty retreat rather than answer questions about the fact that the border — which was open by design during his tenure as part of President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration — has been largely secured since the day President Donald Trump returned to the White House.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Mayorkas seemed approachable enough at first, saying it was &#8220;a pleasure&#8221; and offering a hand to shake as Rosas introduced himself and stated that he was with Blaze media.
&#8220;I just wanted to ask you how it feels to see —&#8221; Rosas had not even gotten his first question out before Mayorkas waved him off, saying, &#8220;Not right now.&#8221;
&#8220;— that the United States has a secure border now that President Trump is in office, as opposed to when you were Secretary of Homeland Security,&#8221; Rosas finished, and Mayorkas kept walking.
Mayorkas kept his mouth shut as Rosas followed up by asking whether he had &#8220;any regrets&#8221; with regard to allowing the border to remain open, especially given the new data that says under Trump&#8217;s DHS, &#8220;border crossings are down 95%.&#8221;
&#8220;Do you regret allowing Tren de Aragua to gain a foothold in the United States?&#8221; Rosas asked, but again, Mayorkas remained silent. &#8220;Do you have anything to say, sir, about your time as Homeland Security Secretary? facilitating an open border?&#8221;
The former DHS chief boarded an escalator, but Rosas met him at the bottom with another question: &#8220;I mean, it was a big issue, sir, that&#8217;s one of the reasons why President Trump won re-election. You don&#8217;t have anything to say about it?&#8221;
Rosas went on to ask whether Mayorkas had regrets about the thousands of migrant children the Biden administration had &#8220;lost track of&#8221; after they came into the United States — and whether he had anything to say about the fact that lax policies under his tenure had actually helped to increase widespread support for the mass deportations Trump promised and had already begun to deliver.
Mayorkas still said nothing, and exited the airport.

Border Crisis

A federal judge in San Francisco moved to postpone the Trump administration from ending a Biden-era program that shielded hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants from deportation. 
U.S. Senior District Judge Edward Chen ordered the Department of Homeland Security to postpone revoking temporary protected status (TPS) for 348,202 Venezuelans living in the United States who were given work authorization and shielded from deportation by the Biden administration in October 2023. Chen said the revocation would cause &#8220;irreparable harm” and hurt the economy. 
The decision comes after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/noem-ends-biden-program-shielding-thousands-of-venezuelans-from-deportation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that she was revoking the TPS status, saying that conditions had improved in Venezuela and that it was not in America’s best interest to maintain the program. In response, a group called the National TPS Alliance sued to block Noem’s decision. 
Chen sided with the National TPS Alliance in his order and said that Noem’s decision was not backed by evidence, including allegations of gang affiliations. Noem had said there was an increased presence of Venezuelan gang members connected to Tren de Aragua.
Chen said that this argument was “baseless and smacks of racism predicated on generalized false stereotypes.”
“The Secretary’s rationale is entirely lacking in evidentiary support,” Chen said in his ruling. “For example, there is no evidence that Venezuelan TPS holders are members of the TdA gang, have connections to the gang, and/or commit crimes.”
The Obama-appointed judge also claimed that TPS recipients were more educated, more involved in the workforce, and less likely to commit crimes than American citizens. 
Chen said that the TPS recipients “have higher education attainment than most U.S. citizens (40-54% have bachelor degrees), have high labor participation rates (80-96%), earn nearly all their personal income (96%), and annually contribute billions of dollars to the U.S. economy and pay hundreds of millions, if not billions, in social security taxes. They also have lower rates of criminality than the general U.S. population.”
In response to Chen&#8217;s decision, Trump border czar Tom Homan <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1907037653368709390" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that TPS status was meant to be temporary, not a “decades-long” program. Homan said the ruling was based on an &#8220;activist judge&#8217;s&#8221; opinion. 
“President Trump is going to do his job by rule of law. The law says temporary status,” Homan told Fox News. “Once the conditions change, then people should be removed from the United States. It’s only a temporary status.&#8221;
