President Donald Trump can speed up deportations of illegal immigrants to new levels, thanks to a new federal appeals court ruling.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision Tuesday allowing federal immigration agents to quickly deport illegal immigrants who can&#8217;t prove they’ve lived in the country continuously for two years or longer, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/us/politics/appeals-court-expedited-deportations.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times. Previously, federal authorities could only make the speedy removals when detaining illegal migrants at the border.
The deportations will likely only ramp up since the millions of targets of the order won&#8217;t have the ability to fight their removal in court.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) General Counsel James Percival celebrated Tuesday&#8217;s decision.
&#8220;For years, DHS has arbitrarily limited expedited removal to 14 days even though it applies to illegal aliens who entered the country illegally within the last two years. Today, the DC Circuit vindicated our decision to apply the law as written. It’s not too late to take a $2,600 check and a free flight home!&#8221; Percival wrote in an X post.
Two of the three judges on Tuesday&#8217;s panel, both Trump appointees, sided with the Trump administration, according to the NYT. Judge Robert L. Wilkins, an Obama appointee, wrote the dissenting opinion.
In the majority opinion, Judge Justin R. Walker wrote that Congress gave the president the authority to expand the deportation policy, the outlet reported.
“For many years, while some were designated, others were not,” Walker wrote. “But that changed in January 2025 when the executive expanded expedited removal to the maximum extent allowed by Congress.&#8221;
The Trump administration instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to utilize expedited removal for illegal immigrants living in the interior of the country in January 2025. A lower court ruled against the policy change last August, arguing that it failed to give illegal immigrants due process and would result in their wrongful detention.
Judge Robert L. Wilkins wrote in his dissenting opinion that the previous ruling resulted in the removals of illegal immigrants who had been living in the country longer than two years, according to the NYT. He also wrote that the Trump administration failed to require federal immigration officers to ask potential targets of the policy how long they had been in the country.
“A procedure that can result in persons being deported pursuant to the expedited removal statute without even being asked how long they have been in the country might satisfy due process for persons encountered at the border, but it is woefully inadequate for persons encountered in the interior of the country,” he wrote.

Court Hands Trump Big Victory To Turbocharge Deportations

The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a major immigration victory on Tuesday, ruling that federal border officials can treat green card holders facing certain criminal allegations as applicants for admission when they return from foreign travel, even before securing a conviction.
In a 6-3 decision split along ideological lines, the Court sided with the administration in a case involving a Chinese national and lawful permanent resident who left the United States while facing criminal charges and later attempted to reenter the country.
Writing for the majority, Justice Clarence Thomas rejected a lower court ruling that would have required border officials to possess &#8220;clear and convincing evidence&#8221; that a green card holder committed a qualifying crime before treating that individual as an applicant for admission.
&#8220;Nothing in the INA [Immigration and Nationality Act] required the border officer to have clear and convincing evidence&#8221; before making that determination, Thomas <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25-429_h3ci.pdf">wrote</a>.
The case centered on Muk Choi Lau, a Chinese citizen who became a lawful permanent resident in 2007. In 2012, New Jersey charged Lau with trademark counterfeiting. While awaiting trial, Lau traveled to China and later attempted to return to the United States through John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Because of the pending criminal charge, federal officials declined to automatically treat Lau as a returning permanent resident and instead classified him as an applicant seeking admission into the country. Lau was allowed to physically enter the United States on parole while his criminal case proceeded. After Lau later pleaded guilty, the government moved to remove him from the country.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Lau, arguing that immigration officials lacked sufficient evidence at the time he arrived at the airport to treat him as an applicant for admission rather than as an already-admitted permanent resident. The Supreme Court reversed that ruling.
Thomas noted that Congress never imposed a requirement that border officers possess &#8220;clear and convincing evidence&#8221; before making quick decisions at ports of entry.
&#8220;We decline to read into the INA an additional clear-and-convincing-evidence burden on border officers entrusted with making quick judgments on the spot when that burden is nowhere in the statute,&#8221; Thomas wrote.
The ruling represents another legal victory for President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration as it seeks to strengthen immigration enforcement and expand the authority of federal officials to remove non-citizens who commit crimes.
The Court emphasized that green card holders are not automatically immune from scrutiny when returning from overseas travel, particularly when they have allegedly committed crimes that can trigger removal proceedings under federal immigration law.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote the dissent and was joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Jackson argued that lawful permanent residents enjoy special protections under federal law and warned that the majority&#8217;s ruling gives the government excessive authority to downgrade the status of green card holders before proving that an exception to those protections applies.
&#8220;I worry that the Court has now handed the Government a massive blank check,&#8221; Jackson wrote.
The majority rejected that argument, concluding that the Immigration and Nationality Act allows immigration authorities to treat a returning permanent resident as an applicant for admission if the individual has committed certain offenses, even if the conviction occurs later.
In its ruling, the Court did not decide whether Lau&#8217;s trademark-counterfeiting conviction qualifies as a crime involving moral turpitude under immigration law, leaving that question unresolved for lower courts to decide.

A brutal beheading attempt in Belfast that left a man with catastrophic injuries has sparked <a href="https://x.com/GBPolitcs/status/2064786615357071686?s=20">waves</a> of unrest across Northern Ireland, renewing a fierce debate over mass migration and public safety that is also resonating in the United States.

Law enforcement said the suspect, Hadi Alodid, a Sudanese national, pinned Stephen Ogilvie to the ground and repeatedly stabbed him in the face and neck during Monday&#8217;s attack. The<a href="https://x.com/TPointUK/status/2064116183012429857?s=20"> graphic caught-on-camera</a> incident captured a frantic scene.
“He’s trying to cut his head off!” a person can be heard shouting in the video. 
Ogilvie survived the attack but reportedly suffered devastating injuries, including the loss of an eye and deep wounds to his head and back. The incident quickly became the latest flashpoint in a years-long debate over mass migration and whether political leaders have ignored concerns raised by their own people.
Within hours of the attack, demonstrations erupted across Belfast and continued into Wednesday. Video from the scene showed vehicles set ablaze, roads blocked, and clashes between protesters and police as anger spread throughout parts of Northern Ireland.
At first glance, riots in Belfast following an attack by a migrant might seem like Europe&#8217;s problem. But the issues driving the unrest have become some of the most contentious political battles in the United States, where immigration, border security, crime, and assimilation have dominated national debate for years. 
“This is the direct result of letting the third world into your country. This is policy failure. This is preventable, and this is what happens when you use two-tier policing, allow for mass migration, and have suicidal empathy for those who hate you,” The Daily Wire’s Chloe Trapanotto said.

The gruesome killings of Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin, all at the hands of illegal immigrants, appalled much of the country and rocked the political establishment. 
In fact, President Donald Trump rode a wave of anger over President Joe Biden’s handling of immigration and border security to secure a second term. Under the Trump administration, illegal border crossings have plunged, and millions have either self-deported or been physically removed from the country, <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2026/01/20/dhs-sets-stage-another-historic-record-breaking-year-under-president-trump">according to DHS.</a> 
Still, millions of illegal immigrants remain in the United States.
Across the pond, immigration levels have exploded in recent years, putting intense strain on public services and igniting a divisive debate on what it means to be British. Critics of the United Kingdom’s immigration policies argue the riots are about more than a single attack. They say public frustration has been building for years as concerns about crime, assimilation, housing, and social cohesion were dismissed or downplayed by political leaders.
British officials, including embattled Prime Minister Keir Starmer, raced to condemn the riots and vowed to prosecute offenders.

President Donald Trump’s attempt to restrict H-1B visas was <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/08/trump-h1b-visa-fee-blocks.html">blocked</a> by a federal judge on Monday, who said it was an unlawful tax. 
Judge Leo Sorokin of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.293201/gov.uscourts.mad.293201.106.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled</a> that Trump’s policy violated both the federal Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution. “It encroaches upon Congress’s exclusive power to tax under the Constitution,” the court documents stated. 
Last September, Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/restriction-on-entry-of-certain-nonimmigrant-workers/">imposed</a> a $100,000 H-1B application fee in an attempt to limit the number of foreign workers in the United States. The previous cost per application ranged from $2,000 to $5,000.
Sorokin sided with the 20 Democrat-led states that brought legal action against the various departments involved, saying it “exceeds the carefully and explicitly limited fee-setting authority delegated to the executive branch by Congress.”
The Trump administration is expected to appeal this ruling.
The H-1B program was originally <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/08/trump-h-1b-visa-fee-invalidated">created</a> in 1990 to allow American employers to temporarily hire skilled workers from other countries for up to six years. Tech and finance companies rely heavily on immigrants’ skills. According to Trump’s directive, between 2000 and 2019, foreign STEM workers in the United States increased from 1.2 million to almost 2.5 million, with an overall STEM employment increase of 44.5%. The Guardian reported that roughly two-thirds of H-1B jobs are computer-related.
Trump believes the program “has been deliberately exploited to replace, rather than supplement, American workers with lower-paid, lower-skilled labor.” The president argued that employers are abusing the H-1B program to “artificially suppress wages, resulting in a disadvantageous labor market for American citizens.”
“President Trump has clear legal authority to restrict entry of any class of aliens he determines is not in America’s best interests, and that is exactly what he did,” Taylor Rogers, the White House spokeswoman, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/08/trump-h1b-visa-fee-blocks.html">told</a> CNBC after the court’s ruling.
Trump also argued that the abuse of the H-1B program makes it significantly more difficult for college graduates to obtain IT jobs because employers are hiring “foreign workers at a significant discount to American workers.”

When South African refugees were told they would be shown videos on how to assimilate to American culture, they expected a crash course in local customs and habits they may not have known.
Instead, they sat wide-eyed as they watched videos teaching them how to shower, use a toilet, and brush their teeth.
Several Afrikaners, members of South Africa&#8217;s white minority to whom President Donald Trump has granted special refugee status, told The Daily Wire they were shocked by the videos.
&#8220;When we were watching it, we laughed at a lot of these videos and made comedic remarks because they pointed out the obvious regarding not going to the bathroom outside and how to use a microwave even,&#8221; said Adriaan, an Afrikaner refugee who arrived in December. &#8220;We found it very funny, but we understood as well the idea of like people from Somalia who&#8217;ve never had electricity &#8230; they were mostly made for people that can&#8217;t speak English, that have never lived in a first world country.&#8221;
&#8220;It was just plain ridiculous,&#8221; Marie, another Afrikaner refugee, said.
The videos are produced by an initiative of the nonprofit organization the International Rescue Committee, which is called SettleIn. The program boasts that its content was &#8220;developed under agreements financed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families and Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, United States Department of State,&#8221; according to its website.
SettleIn&#8217;s website adds that its content does not &#8220;necessarily represent the policies or official views of those agencies and should not assume endorsement by the Federal Government.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MUFOZmn0jDQ?si=XbyX0oIkGkxpkgeV" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
One of the videos on SettleIn&#8217;s YouTube channel promotes &#8220;personal hygiene,&#8221; saying that &#8220;In the United States, this means taking regular showers or baths, applying deodorant daily, washing and grooming hair, and washing clothes frequently.&#8221;
&#8220;Only toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet,&#8221; it adds.
The video goes on to say that &#8220;practicing proper personal hygiene promotes good health, prevents the spread of diseases, and may influence relationships with others,&#8221; adding: &#8220;Personal hygiene is also important for getting and keeping a job.&#8221;
An accompanying <a href="https://www.settleinus.org/sites/default/files/2024-07/English_Hygiene-in-the-US_factsheet-low-res.PDF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guide</a> also advises refugees against urinating and spitting &#8220;in public.&#8221; It also instructs them to &#8220;wear clothing that is clean,&#8221; &#8220;wash hands when they are dirty, after using the bathroom, and before and after eating,&#8221; and to &#8220;use a tissue, not your hand or the sleeve of your shirt&#8221; to wipe a runny nose.

Another <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xv4ylUdHBg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> advises refugees not to run from the police during encounters with law enforcement.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t run or reach for anything suddenly,&#8221; the video advises.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QLFYsEq5su4?si=CAJrNTqUG_KJewk7" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
One of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLFYsEq5su4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">videos</a> features a refugee woman telling her fellow newcomers that homes in the United States are &#8220;not like when we are back home living in the refugee camps, you have to be so clean person, clean your home, take your trash out.&#8221;
The International Rescue Committee, which partners with the federal government as part of its U.S. Refugee Admission Program (USRAP), has <a href="https://www.rescue.org/press-release/irc-deeply-troubled-refugee-resettlement-slots-one-nationality?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned</a> the Trump administration&#8217;s refugee policy to decrease refugee admissions and to prioritize white Afrikaners facing racial persecution in South Africa.
The Trump administration <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/realigning-the-united-states-refugee-admissions-program/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> USRAP on January 20, 2025, and subsequently terminated agreements with refugee aid nonprofits, including the <a href="https://www.rescue.org/article/how-have-trump-policies-impacted-refugees?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">International Rescue Committee (IRC)</a>.
A federal judge initially blocked the suspension in early 2025 and ordered the government to reinstate its agreements with resettlement groups like the IRC. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals later ruled the administration could lawfully suspend refugee admissions, but it left in place the requirement that the government keep funding domestic services for refugees already in the country.
SettleIn is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services&#8217; Office of Refugee Resettlement, according to the International Rescue Committee <a href="https://www.rescue.org/page/us-program-offerings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>. It is part of the committee&#8217;s Switchboard, which provides training to refugee support organizations and case managers, which is &#8220;100% financed by federal funds,&#8221; citing an <a href="https://taggs.hhs.gov/Detail/AwardDetail?arg_AwardNum=90RB0053&amp;arg_ProgOfficeCode=40&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Office of Refugee Resettlement grant</a> that has provided the organization more than $20 million in taxpayer funds since 2023.
The program offers some practical advice on filing one&#8217;s taxes, obtaining a driver&#8217;s license, and buying and renting a residence in the United States.
It also provides a cultural guide for refugee organizations and case workers on working with Afrikaner refugees. The packet neglects to mention the racially motivated killings of white farmers in South Africa and other race-based laws discriminating against Afrikaners.
The guide paints Afrikaners as settlers who took part in &#8220;displacing native peoples,&#8221; which it said in combination with the British Empire holding Afrikaners and black Africans in concentration camps &#8220;helped consolidate a concept of Afrikaner nationalism through collective suffering at the hands of the British.&#8221;
&#8220;From 1948 to 1994, Afrikaners participated in establishing and implementing the South African government’s system of Apartheid, a regime of racial segregation. In the post-Apartheid era, South Africans including Afrikaners continue to grapple with issues of identity, reconciliation, and socio-economic transformation,&#8221; the guide reads.
Such federally-funded programs &#8220;are intended to support refugees from a broad range of countries of origin, educational backgrounds, languages, and lived experiences,&#8221; a Department of Health and Human Services spokesman told The Daily Wire.
&#8220;Office of Refugee Resettlement-funded resources, including those developed by technical assistance providers, provide practical information to help refugees navigate daily life in the United States, including topics such as healthcare, education, transportation, housing, employment, and other essential services,&#8221; the spokesman said.
&#8220;Some materials also provide information about common household and community practices in the United States, recognizing that refugees arrive with varying levels of familiarity with U.S. systems, institutions, and cultural norms,&#8221; the official added.
In a statement, the IRC said &#8220;SettleIn and Switchboard are resources designed to support the full range of refugees resettling in the United States—a population that comes from dozens of countries, speaks hundreds of languages, and arrives with enormously varied backgrounds and levels of familiarity with American systems and infrastructure.&#8221;
The videos, the organization said, &#8220;are intentionally comprehensive so that resettlement organizations can use what is relevant for the populations they serve, and resettling refugees can access the information most helpful to them.&#8221;

The Justice Department is expected to announce Monday an effort to denaturalize 17 foreign-born individuals with significant rap sheets.
The naturalized citizens include fraudsters, sex offenders, and drug traffickers, who the Trump administration is targeting as part of a larger effort to strip the citizenship of certain offenders.
&#8220;Gaining U.S. citizenship is a privilege and under the steadfast leadership of President Trump, this Department of Justice maintains a zero-tolerance policy for the abuse of this process,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.
“We continue to work around the clock with our interagency partners to make sure U.S. citizenship is granted to those who truly deserve it,&#8221; Blanche added.
In its latest pursuit, the Justice Department is seeking the denaturalization of Cuban-born U.S. citizen Delmas Garcia, 54, who was convicted of conspiracy to commit health care fraud after she admitted to running 30 physical therapy clinics in Florida that fraudulently billed an insurance company $36,728,595 for services that were not medically necessary or that were never actually provided.
The Trump administration has also set its sights on Haitian-born Jean Claude Alfred, 68, who was sexually abusing his minor daughter while he was applying for his American citizenship, according to the Justice Department. Alfred began abusing his daughter in September 1993, roughly one month before he applied for citizenship, and &#8220;repeatedly&#8221; did so as he waited to become naturalized.
During his application process, Alfred denied having committed any crime for which he hadn&#8217;t been arrested, the Justice Department said. A jury in Florida ultimately convicted Alfred in 1996 of attempted sexual battery of a child in a familial relationship and lewd, lascivious, and indecent assault upon a child under the age of 16.
Alfred became a U.S. citizen in 1994, sparking the Justice Department&#8217;s latest action accusing him of lying during his application process in order to obtain naturalization.
Another target of the latest denaturalization push is Colombian-born Fernando Cristancho, 69, a Roman Catholic priest who used his position in the church to sexually groom and abuse a minor parishioner from age 11 to 13. Cristancho later pleaded guilty to his crime and received a 22-year prison sentence.
The Trump administration alleged that Cristancho concealed his crime from immigration officials in order to obtain his citizenship while also having failed to demonstrate good moral character required for naturalization.
The federal government is also working to denaturalize the daughter of a major Colombian drug trafficker, Andrea Marroquin, 44, who inherited her father&#8217;s riches when he died. Marroquin first got a green card by hiding her bigamous marriage to an American citizen, according to the Justice Department.
Between 2003 and 2011, she used her father&#8217;s drug proceeds to make fraudulent real estate transactions in Miami, the Department of Justice alleged. She allegedly concealed her crimes when she became an American citizen in 2009.
Last June, the Justice Department instructed U.S. attorneys across the country to “prioritize” and “pursue” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-orders-justice-dept-to-denaturalize-new-citizens-convicted-of-crimes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denaturalization</a> cases against citizens who may “pose a potential danger to national security.&#8221;
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials received guidance in December to “supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month,” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/us/politics/trump-immigration-citizenship-denaturalization.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The New York Times.
The denaturalization effort is also part of the Trump administration&#8217;s &#8220;war on fraud,&#8221; USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser said in a previous statement.

Federal immigration authorities detained dozens of workers and arrested company officials during a major raid at a South Carolina manufacturing plant this week, the culmination of what state officials described as a years-long investigation into the employment of illegal immigrants.
The operation, <a href="https://www.foxcarolina.com/2026/06/04/ag-48-detained-by-ice-operation-burnstein-von-seelen-6-indicted/">dubbed</a> “Operation Ghost Story,” targeted Burnstein von Seelen Precision Castings in Abbeville, a city roughly 86 miles from Columbia.

Officials also announced criminal charges against plant manager Christopher Ramey and human resources coordinator Sandy Willis. The two are accused of conspiracy, identity fraud related to employment, and forgery. 

Four additional defendants were charged with supplying fake identification documents that workers used to obtain employment. One of the defendants, Jose Luis Aguilar Mejia, is currently at large and wanted by authorities.
ICE partnered with the Department of Homeland Security, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, the Abbeville and Greenwood County Sheriff&#8217;s Offices, the Eighth Circuit Solicitor’s Office, and other state and local agencies in carrying out the operation.
South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark A. Keel <a href="https://www.wyff4.com/article/ice-raid-employees-arrested-south-carolina-business/71493075">called</a> this raid “the direct result of an exhaustive, years-long investigation.”  
 
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said the operation demonstrates the state&#8217;s commitment to enforcing immigration and identity fraud laws.
“If you are unlawfully aiding illegal immigrants in South Carolina, you are going to be investigated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Wilson stated in a press conference. “If you are taking advantage of hard-working Americans, stealing their identities, and are intentionally ignoring your responsibilities as an employer in an effort to circumvent the law, we are coming for you.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection intercepted an overcrowded vessel carrying hundreds of Haitian migrants en route to the United States. 
At 2:45 p.m. on May 31, Air Interdiction Agents, who pilot airplanes and helicopters, detected a vessel about 65 nautical miles south of Turks and Caicos. The vessel, a 50-foot Haitian wooden boat, was heading north toward the islands.
On board were 240 migrants from Haiti “attempting an illegal maritime migration.” 
At 9:08 p.m., the U.S. Coast Guard reported the vessel was dead in the water. Turks and Caicos authorities declared a search and rescue case due to the risk of capsizing, <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/amo-aircraft-assists-turks-and-caicos-authorities-rescue-240">according to CBP. </a>
No injuries were reported.

“Our personnel helped prevent what could have been a catastrophic loss of life while stopping yet another illegal migration attempt,” CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott said. 
Of the 240 migrants onboard, there were 191 adult males, 44 adult females, and five minors. Turks and Caicos authorities helped intercept the vessel and ensured the passengers did not reach U.S. soil, according to CBP. 
“The message remains clear: illegal maritime migration is dangerous, it is not worth the risk, and you will not gain entry into the U.S.,” Scott added. 
The seizure reflects the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to secure the border and deter illegal immigration. 
After assuming office, President Trump revoked the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants living in the United States. The executive action is currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. 
The White House is also ramping up efforts to stop migrants in their tracks. 
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Wednesday laid out a timeline for the completion of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. 
In a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Mullin said DHS is on track to have a primary border wall stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of America completed by “this time next year.”
“On the border wall, first of all, we are on track to have the primary wall done, completed from the Pacific to the Gulf of America this time next year. We’ll have all contracts out by the end of this month. And we’re having great progress,” Mullin said. 
Mullin stressed that cartels have learned how to breach and cut sections of the border wall, forcing the need for a secondary barrier to reinforce the primary wall and deter illegal crossings. 
He predicted the second wall barrier would be completed by the summer of 2028.

Protests at the Newark, New Jersey, ICE facility grew increasingly violent this week, prompting federal officials to arrest over a dozen rioters.
Nine agitators were arrested overnight on Thursday, according to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. They join another six rioters who were arrested Wednesday for assaulting ICE officers. Around 100 agitators gathered at the detention facility Wednesday and Thursday, with several of them throwing objects at federal officers.
In a video posted by commentator Nick Sortor, an agitator screamed at an ICE agent, telling him that he took a photo of the agent’s face and threatened to murder his family.
“I’ll kill your whole f*cking family. Your whole f*cking family is dead — your children, your wife, all dead. I have your face, motherf*cker!”

That agitator has not been arrested, but acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the federal government is looking for the agitator over his threats to the federal officer.
“I promise you, we’ll find him, and when we find him, we will arrest him, because it is a crime not only to threaten law enforcement, but not surprisingly to threaten their family as well,” Blanche said.
According to federal law, it is illegal to threaten violence against a federal officer by threatening to murder a family member, and the offense carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
&#8220;On the evening of May 28th, approximately 100 anti-ICE rioters gathered around the Delaney Hall ICE facility. Rioters bit, kicked, and punched law enforcement officers,&#8221; Mullin <a href="https://x.com/SecMullinDHS/status/2060346993805811767">said</a>. &#8220;Governor [Mikie] Sherrill refused to allow state police to assist our officers. Assaulting and obstructing [ICE] law enforcement is a crime and felony. Throughout the night, nine rioters were arrested. Anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Law and order will prevail.&#8221;
Sortor also reported that a group of ICE protesters resorted to racist remarks, <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/2060045284969775610">chanting</a>, &#8220;You will hang!&#8221; to a group of ICE agents that included black officers.

Somewhere, a guy wearing a tinfoil hat is having a really tough night.
Anyone who rushed to Aliens.gov on Thursday expecting UFO disclosure was in for a rude awakening. Because the website has nothing to do with extraterrestrials, but rather, illegal immigrants.
The website — which looks like something a guy named Randy would show you at 2 a.m. while explaining what really happened at Area 51 — opens with neon text on a poorly designed background proclaiming &#8220;They Walk Among Us.&#8221; Only &#8220;they&#8221; are not little green men, but the countless illegal immigrants who have entered the United States through the southern border.
&#8220;They&#8217;ve shopped in the same stores, attended the same classes as our children, and lived seemingly normal human existences,&#8221; the site reads. &#8220;With one exception — they do not belong here.&#8221;

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the Trump administration is drafting plans to stop processing foreign travelers at airports located in sanctuary cities, but the possible change has some former officials questioning the political implications.
Mullin revealed on “Hannity” Tuesday night that officials are “currently drawing up plans” to pull Customs officers from international airports in jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts amid escalating anti-ICE protests outside a facility in Newark, New Jersey.
He then doubled down Thursday, telling Fox News host Brian Kilmeade that while his department won&#8217;t &#8220;halt&#8221; international flights, it will pull Customs officers away from processing those passengers as they attempt to enter the United States.
&#8220;When we have situations like what&#8217;s happening in New Jersey right now, when we have to prioritize where we put federal employees because local law enforcement won&#8217;t help protect their streets &#8230; and keep them from barricading and causing harm to our employees, then we have to decide where we&#8217;re going to prioritize our federal employees,&#8221; Mullin said.
&#8220;What we&#8217;re saying is we just won&#8217;t be able to process them because we don&#8217;t have officers there,&#8221; he added.
The idea immediately sparked concerns from former Homeland Security officials, who questioned the political fallout and consequences of such a move ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the United States is set to co-host.
Former Homeland Security advisor Charles Marino said that while there&#8217;s a need for &#8220;consequences for sanctuary cities, there&#8217;s no way this would be allowed to happen with the World Cup coming up.&#8221;
&#8220;The political pressure on the admin from FIFA, the international community, stadiums, local governments, and businesses would be immense. It also undercuts President Trump, who routinely takes credit for bringing the World Cup to the U.S. To do this now is all risk and no reward,&#8221; he said.
Trump&#8217;s Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy also appeared skeptical of the proposal.
“We shouldn’t shut down air travel in a state that doesn’t agree with our politics,&#8221; Duffy said during a Congressional hearing last week.
Another former Homeland Security official, who was granted anonymity to speak more freely on the issue, said the Trump administration is trying to play &#8220;hardball,&#8221; adding that it&#8217;s &#8220;the federal government&#8217;s right&#8221; to carry out such a plan. The official, however, warned that &#8220;it is only going to piss off the unaffiliated voters and at the end of the day will not change sanctuary jurisdictions.&#8221;
&#8220;Democrats will still vote for sanctuary,&#8221; the former official said.
Former ICE New York field office deputy director Scott Mechkowski said that Trump&#8217;s base will likely support that move, but that Mullin will need to focus his messaging to present it to the general public as a last-ditch effort to force cooperation from sanctuary cities.
Mechkowski said Mullin has to &#8220;frame&#8221; the initiative as &#8220;an extreme measure.&#8221; He pointed to the Trump administration&#8217;s attempts to &#8220;withhold&#8221; federal funds from sanctuary cities, an effort that has been repeatedly blocked by court orders.
It would also have &#8220;devastating effects,&#8221; spelling financial trouble for sanctuary cities, which he expects would cave easily to meet the Trump administration&#8217;s demands as a result.
&#8220;I think they need to realize that [Mullin] means business,&#8221; Mechkowski said.
Mullin first mentioned the proposal in April, presenting it as a tactic to force sanctuary cities to play ball with federal immigration agents.
“I believe sanctuary cities is not lawful,” Mullin told Fox News’ Bret Baier at the time. “I don’t think they’re able to do that, and so we’re gonna take a hard look at this.”
“If they’re sanctuary cities, should they really be processing Customs into their city?” Mullin asked. “If they’re a sanctuary city and they’re receiving international flights, and we’re asking them to partner with us at the airport, but once they walk out of the airport they’re not gonna enforce immigration policy, maybe we need to have a really hard look at that because we need to focus on cities that want to work with us.”
