Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles slammed Nashville&#8217;s mayor over his opposition to deportation operations in an interview with Morning Wire, warning city leaders across the country that federal officials will crack down on those who impede law enforcement.
“If you impede federal law enforcement in their duties, in their directive to follow President Trump, to say, it&#8217;s time that we start deporting these folks, we&#8217;re going to be looking into your city and where appropriate, we&#8217;re going to hold you accountable,” Ogles said.
“The mayor of Nashville is making local PD, who are just trying to do their jobs, the bad guy,” Ogles said on Morning Wire. “The problem with that, aside from…impeding federal law enforcement is, we&#8217;ve had a 400% increase in attacks against law enforcement across the country.”

Ogles&#8217; comments came just after the congressman <a href="https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/congressman-andy-ogles-confirms-federal-investigation-into-nashville-mayors-office-over-illegal-immigration/">confirmed</a> that the House Homeland Security and Judiciary Committees have launched an investigation into Nashville’s Democrat Mayor Freddie O’Connell, who spoke out against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the federal agency captured nearly 200 illegal aliens in Nashville.
The congressman says he hopes to obtain correspondence between city officials and non-profit organizations discussing ICE’s arrests, as well as internal communications between city officials concerning the ICE raids. Ogles is also seeking internal documents and correspondence discussing an executive order from the mayor mandating that all city officials report their communications with ICE to his office.
Ogles told The Daily Wire the investigation into O’Connell also sends “a message to cities and mayors across the country.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
With the support of the House Judiciary Committee, I will be formally requesting all documents and communications from the Mayor’s office related to:

It isn’t just Nashville’s mayor that Ogles has his eye on, however. There’s also State Representative <a href="https://www.wsmv.com/2025/05/14/tn-rep-andy-ogles-calls-investigation-into-nashville-leadership-obstructing-ice-operations/">Aftyn Bhen</a>, who followed ICE agents as they enforced federal law in Music City.
“She recorded herself and she put it on social media where she was blocking ICE vehicles,” Ogles said. “She even admitted to blocking four different – ‘delaying’ was the word she used – ICE vehicles as they were trying to conduct operations. And so that&#8217;s a crime.”
The ICE raids in Nashville, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-dems-rage-over-nashville-ice-raids-that-targeted-rapists-and-gang-members?author=Spencer+Lindquist+and+Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Dems+Rage+Over+Nashville+ICE+Raids+That+Targeted+Rapists+And+Gang+Members">first reported</a>, led to the capture of gang members, drug runners, and a convicted rapist. Of the 196 illegal aliens arrested in the raids, 95 had prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, and another 31 had reentered the country after being previously removed from the United States.
Ogles explained that criminal illegal alien gangs, some of which have been designated foreign terror organizations by the Trump administration, have a foothold in Tennessee.
“As someone who&#8217;s on the Homeland Security Committee, [I] just received a classified briefing. And what I can tell you is that MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, they&#8217;re all over the country. They&#8217;re in Nashville. They&#8217;re in our small cities like Columbia and Tullahoma,” Ogles warned.
&#8220;I can tell you that these gangs are sophisticated. They&#8217;re in every city in our country. They have very sophisticated surveillance equipment, tactical equipment. This isn&#8217;t just some thug on the street selling drugs,&#8221; he added. &#8220;These are cartels and criminal enterprises that are moving and sweeping across our country.&#8221;
“If we don&#8217;t fight back, if we don&#8217;t take our cities and our streets back, you&#8217;re going to wake up and you&#8217;re going to see those gang members on the street corner in front of your elementary and middle schools, and then it&#8217;ll be too late,” he added.
Ogles also noted that illegal alien gangs “want strongholds in Nashville,” because the city’s proximity to other population centers makes it a valuable outpost for smuggling drugs, guns, and people.
“They want to take over Nashville, and the more competition and the more fighting, the more violence you&#8217;re to see on our streets, and I&#8217;m not going to stand for it,” Ogles said. “We&#8217;re going to find these people. We&#8217;re going to get them off our streets.”

Illegal Immigration

Immigration

mass immigration

Nashville

After decades of mass illegal immigration into the United States, untold millions of illegal aliens have settled throughout the country, competing with Americans for government benefits, jobs, and now, for homes.
For most illegal aliens, obtaining a mortgage from a traditional bank — without a social security number or a credit score — is nearly impossible. But as millions of illegal aliens flooded the country, a new industry has cropped up to capitalize on the new customer base, selling financing catered to the illegal population.
One entity at the forefront of this industry, a Daily Wire investigation has revealed, is Prysma Lending, which has given out more than a <a href="https://prysma.com/about-us">billion dollars</a> in loans in red and blue states alike as it blatantly targets illegal aliens.
Trump pledged to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/06/business/undocumented-immigrants-trump-mortgage-ban/index.html">ban mortgages for illegal aliens</a> on the campaign trail and his administration <a href="https://www.hud.gov/news/hud-no-25-048">took action</a> in March to prevent government-backed mortgages from going to illegal aliens. But Prysma is one of several companies — including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inside-colony-ridge-the-fastest-growing-development-in-the-u-s-is-a-magnet-for-illegal-immigrants">Colony Ridge</a>, the Texas development that The Daily Wire exposed as a magnet for illegal aliens — that uses a different financial tactic that isn’t impacted by the administration’s recent rule change, which specifically targeted loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration.
The company prides itself on “empowering the Latino community to achieve homeownership” in its Spanish-language <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prysma_lending_group/">Instagram bio.</a> The company’s president, Monica Serva, <a href="https://prysma.com/about-us">says</a> she started Prysma with the intent of “helping the Latino community” because she “realized how unfairly minorities were treated.”
But Prysma revealed that its business model relied on illegal aliens, in particular, when it hosted a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHQX1LczTk4&amp;t=30s">webinar</a> with an immigration lawyer to answer their customers&#8217; questions about the risk of deportation in the days following President Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration.
The company is evidently concerned that its clientele could be deported, or at least that potential customers could be dissuaded from buying a home in a country that they fear they could be removed from.
They have reason to be worried. The Connecticut-based company’s website is checkered with explicit appeals to illegal aliens, allowing it to corner a market that doesn’t have access to the same financial tools as American citizens and legal residents.
“Prysma has helped non-US citizen families in: Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas,” the corporation’s site reads. “No Social Security or Green Card required.”
“You have a right to homeownership, regardless of legal status,” Prysma says. The company even published guides on “<a href="https://prysma.com/blog/personal-loans-for-undocumented-immigrants-options-available">loans for undocumented immigrants</a>” and boasts that it has “extensive experience with loans tailored to the unique needs of undocumented immigrants.”
“Securing personal loans can be a crucial step toward financial independence for undocumented immigrants, who often face challenges accessing traditional financial products,” Prysma writes. 
Federation for American Immigration Reform Media Director Ira Mehlman told The Daily Wire that allowing illegal aliens to access mortgages could incentivize them to remain in the country, but that Congress could take action. 
“Access to mortgages can serve as an incentive for illegal aliens to remain in the country, especially at a time when the goal of the government is convincing illegal aliens to leave,” Mehlman explained. Congress could take many actions &#8211; from disclosure to outright prohibition &#8211; and set a national standard for states to follow.”
A Prysma employee admitted in the post-election <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHQX1LczTk4&amp;t=30s">webinar</a> that the company specializes in offering loans to illegal aliens.
“At Prysma, again we’re super honored that Latinos come to us &#8230; well, people from all different parts of the world, looking for loans that don’t require a legal status,” Senior Mortgage Loan Originator Stefany Pina said.
The corporation made a guide to go along with the talk, providing “actionable steps to safeguard the things that matter to you most should you or a family member be at risk of deportation.” The document tells customers how to trigger a “credible fear” interview to avoid deportation, adding that “the interview process can slow deportation proceedings, giving you time to build a legal defense.”

Prysma also instructs illegal aliens to avoid presenting “IDs that could flag you for deportation,” including foreign passports.
Prysma’s business model <a href="https://prysma.com/tax-id-loans">appears to rely</a> on the individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), a tax processing number from the IRS that can be obtained by anyone regardless of their immigration status. The National Immigration Law Center, a left-wing Soros-backed organization, <a href="https://www.nilc.org/resources/itinfaq/">calls ITINs</a> “a powerful tool for immigrant taxpayers.” Illegal aliens can use ITINs to receive home and personal loans, often at rates significantly higher than those offered by traditional banks.
Obtaining an ITIN, Prysma is eager to point out, does not require a legal status. “Your ITIN allows you to take out a Tax ID loan … without showing legal residency in the U.S.” The company says, also adding “no social security card needed&#8221; and &#8220;no green card needed.&#8221;
<div id="attachment_917665" style="width: 819px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-917665" class=" wp-image-917665" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three-300x85.png" alt="" width="809" height="229" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three-300x85.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three-1024x290.png 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three-768x218.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Prysma-Three.png 1404w" sizes="(max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px" />Screenshot</div>
The IRS <a href="https://www.irs.gov/tin/itin/individual-taxpayer-identification-number-itin#what">created</a> ITINs so nonresidents could pay taxes. They were not intended to be used by illegal aliens to obtain mortgages or other loans.
This ITIN financial scheme is the same system that fueled the astronomical growth of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inside-colony-ridge-the-fastest-growing-development-in-the-u-s-is-a-magnet-for-illegal-immigrants">Colony Ridge</a>, the Texas development that The Daily Wire exposed as a magnet for illegal aliens. The site, which has attracted illegal alien murderers, drug-runners, human smugglers, and cartel members, similarly told buyers that they didn’t need social security numbers and instead doled out ITIN loans to illegal aliens.
Leaked emails from a Texas land developer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-developer-admits-colony-ridge-relies-on-subprime-lending-to-non-citizen-buyers">uncovered</a> by The Daily Wire indicate that there appears to be an entire industry built around supplying loans to illegal aliens. The developer, who formerly led a lobbying organization, wrote that “we will not be able to sell our developments if each of our buyers have to have [social security numbers].”
Prysma did not respond to a request for comment.

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced legislation that would prevent certain migrants from entering the United States in a bid to crack down on what she calls a “multi-million dollar industry” built on birth tourism.
Blackburn’s bill, called “the Ban Birth Tourism” act, would modify existing immigration law to make those intending to come to the United States for the purpose of having a child in America ineligible for entry.
Blackburn asserted in a recent <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/05/21/marsha-blackburn-moves-to-ban-birthright-citizenship/">interview</a> that foreign networks, including those operating in China and Russia, have built a multi-million dollar industry by taking advantage of America’s birthright citizenship policy.
“You have brokers who are advertising and pushing for people in countries like Russia and China, and women, when they are pregnant, they can pay a fee to the broker, come into the U.S., live in housing that is provided for them, have the baby, get the birth certificate,” she said, adding that the scheme allows the foreign nationals to start the chain migration process once the child turns 21 years old.
Blackburn’s legislation aims to prevent those foreigners from entering the United States.
“Foreign nationals have been exploiting our nation’s immigration laws for far too long, taking advantage of the system to come to the United States for the sole purpose of giving birth to obtain U.S. citizenship for their children,” the senator from Tennessee <a href="https://www.blackburn.senate.gov/2025/5/immigration/national%20security/blackburn-introduces-bill-to-stop-multi-million-dollar-birth-tourism-industry">charged</a>. “The Ban Birth Tourism Act would prevent foreign nationals, including those from adversaries like Communist China and Russia, from buying American citizenship for their children.”
Blackburn’s bill comes just after the Supreme Court began <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-sounds-off-on-birthright-citizenship-ahead-of-scotus-argument-drug-cartels-love-it">hearing arguments</a> addressing President Donald Trump’s day one <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship/">executive order</a> ending birthright citizenship for children born in the United States without at least one parent who is a citizen or legal permanent resident.
Trump railed against birthright citizenship in a post on Truth Social ahead of the arguments before the Supreme Court.
“The United States of America is the only Country in the World that does this, for what reason, nobody knows — But the drug cartels love it!” Trump said. “Birthright Citizenship was not meant for people taking vacations to become permanent Citizens of the United States of America, and bringing their families with them, all the time laughing at the ‘SUCKERS’ that we are!”
Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-congressman-to-introduce-bill-limiting-birthright-citizenship-bolster-trump-executive-order">introduced</a> his own legislation in the House ending birthright citizenship shortly after Trump’s executive order. Babin’s bill, like Blackburn’s, takes aim at birth tourism and aims to “close loopholes that exploit birthright citizenship and discourage illegal immigration.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday spotlighted the criminal records of eight illegal aliens who were deported to South Sudan as it gears up for a fight with a judge who could order them to be returned to the United States.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) explained that the illegal aliens’ countries of origin were unwilling to take them back.
“We conducted a deportation flight from Texas to remove some of the most barbaric, violent individuals illegally in the United States,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zg1o9hJES0">said</a> Tricia McLaughlin, the Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs for the agency. “No country on earth wanted to accept them because their crimes are so uniquely monstrous and barbaric,” McLaughlin added before explaining that South Sudan was “willing to accept custody” of the illegal alien criminals.
However, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts has <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federal-judge-orders-trump-administration-track-deported-immigrants-south-sudan">ordered</a> the Trump administration to maintain custody of the deported illegals “to ensure the practical feasibility of return if the Court finds that such removals were unlawful.”
“A local judge in Massachusetts is trying to force the United States to bring back these uniquely barbaric monsters who present a clear and present threat to the safety of American people,” McLaughlin charged before calling it “absurd” that the judge would attempt to “dictate the foreign policy and national security of the United States of America.”
The plane landed in the nearby country of Djibouti on Wednesday, the New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/us/south-sudan-deportation.html">reported</a>. The eight men on the deportation flight were convicted of a range of crimes, including murder, kidnapping, robbery, and sexual assault, according to DHS.

DHS <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dhs-exposes-crimes-migrants-deported-south-sudan-judge-threatens-order-return">identified</a> one of the men as Enrique Arias-Hierro, a Cuban national arrested by ICE in May and convicted of homicide, armed robbery, false impersonation of an official, kidnapping, and strong-arm robbery. He was joined by another Cuban national named Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones, who has been convicted of first-degree murder with a weapon, battery and larceny, and trafficking and possessing cocaine.
Another deported was Tuan Thanh Phan of Vietnam, who was convicted of first-degree murder and second-degree assault. Laotian national Thongxay Nilakout, who was also convicted of first-degree murder, was also on the flight to South Sudan, as was Mexican national Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez, who had been convicted of second-degree murder.
There’s also a pair of convicted Burmese sex offenders: Kyaw Mya of Burma, a criminal convicted of “lascivious acts with a child-victim less than 12 years of age,” and Nyo Myint, who was convicted of “first-degree sexual assault involving a victim mentally and physically incapable of resisting” as well as aggravated assault.
Only one of the eight men sent to South Sudan is originally from the African nation. Dian Peter Domach, who was captured by ICE in May, was found in “possession of burglar’s tools and possession of defaced firearm,” and convicted of  “robbery and possession of a firearm.”
The potential legal battle would mark the latest ruling from the judiciary to prevent the Trump administration’s deportation of criminal illegal aliens. United States District Judge James Boasberg, whose wife donated to Democratic candidates and opened a Washington, D.C.-area abortion clinic, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meet-the-obama-appointed-judge-trying-to-stop-trump-from-deporting-criminal-illegals">hindered</a> the administration’s efforts to deport illegal aliens who are suspected gang members to El Salvador.

A union representing nearly 20,000 Border Patrol agents on Monday declared its support for President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;big, beautiful bill,&#8221; hailing the legislation as an “investment” in America’s border security.
“The men and women of the National Border Patrol Council are proud to announce our support for the House One Big Beautiful Bill,” the group&#8217;s president, Paul Perez, told The Daily Wire. “This legislation provides a once in a generation investment in the border security of our great country and will make America safer.”
The legislation not only modifies the tax code, but also provides funding that would allow Customs and Border Protection to expand its operations.
“This legislation provides for thousands of new patrol vehicles, the hiring of thousands of additional Border Patrol Agents, and improves retention and recruitment by using incentives and protecting benefits, along with unprecedented investments in physical infrastructure, such as roads along our borders,” Perez added. “The NBPC has no doubt this legislation will greatly help us to do our jobs more safely and effectively.”
Funding for physical infrastructure, the Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee say, would <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2025/04/27/house-homeland-security-committee-releases-text-for-budget-reconciliation-recommendations/">support</a> the construction of “701 miles of primary wall, construction of 900 miles of river barriers, 629 miles of secondary barriers, and replacement of 141 miles of vehicle and pedestrian barriers.”
The White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/05/one-big-beautiful-bill-is-a-once-in-a-generation-chance/">adds</a> that the funding will support “at least one million annual removals” of illegal aliens and the hiring of 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel.
The House Judiciary Committee <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/big-beautiful-border-security">says</a> the funding would allow ICE to expand its capacity and allow it to detain 100,000 illegal aliens at any given time.
Beyond funding Border Patrol, ICE, and border wall construction, the legislation also takes other steps to discourage illegal immigration. If passed, the bill would impose a 5% tax on money sent out of the country by illegal aliens and non-citizens.
Experts told The Daily Wire that the tax on such transactions would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-new-tax-on-money-sent-abroad-could-dry-up-drug-cartel-cash-and-penalize-illegal-immigration?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=This+New+Tax+Could+Stop+Illegal+Immigration+And+Keep+Money+From+Cartels">penalize</a> illegal immigration and cut into the cash flows that are sent to the Mexican drug cartels.
“Placing a fee on remittances is crucial because the more money that is smuggled back into Mexico, the stronger the cartels become,” Ira Mehlman, the Media Director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told The Daily Wire.
Trump’s bill would also kick an estimated 1.4 million illegal aliens off of Medicaid, the government-funded healthcare program. The legislation, the Trump White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/05/one-big-beautiful-bill-is-a-once-in-a-generation-chance/">says</a>, “eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse by ending benefits” for illegal aliens “who are gaming the system.”

EXCLUSIVE: Border Patrol Union Praises ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ For Border Security Investments

NASHVILLE — The federal deportation raids in Tennessee that have garnered outrage from local Democrats resulted in the capture of rapists, drug dealers, and gang members, according to a Department of Homeland Security dossier obtained by The Daily Wire.
Nashville&#8217;s Democrat mayor Freddie O&#8217;Connell has <a href="https://fox17.com/news/local/nashville-mayor-issues-new-protocol-for-metro-employees-amid-ice-communication-fallout">said</a> he was very &#8220;frustrated&#8221; to see immigration enforcement in the city, stating, &#8220;We did not request this approach to safety, we do not support it.&#8221; In response, he signed an executive order mandating that communications from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) be directed to his office immediately.
His outrage comes with little public information known about the scale about the raid, but The Daily Wire has learned that nearly 200 illegal aliens were captured during the weeklong raids, including rapists, drug dealers, and gang members.
The raids, which ICE carried out in conjunction with local and federal law enforcement partners, began on May 3 and resulted in the arrest of 196 illegal aliens. Of those arrested, 95 had prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, while another 31 had reentered the country after being previously removed from the United States, a felony offense, the federal law enforcement agency told The Daily Wire.
“This operation resulted in getting gang members, sex offenders, and other violent criminals off Nashville’s streets,&#8221; Tricia McLaughlin, the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, told The Daily Wire. &#8220;President Trump and Secretary Noem will continue to stand with victims and the brave ICE agents who are on the frontlines making America safe again.&#8221;
Here are some of the criminal illegal aliens captured in Nashville:
Jassim Jafaf Al-Raash, a 60-year-old convicted rapist and citizen of Iraq. Al-Raash failed to register as a sex offender following his rape convictions, for which he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Iraqi national was also convicted of false imprisonment and larceny.

ICE also captured Franklin Oswaldo Velasquez-Reyes, a 33-year-old Salvadoran who is affiliated with MS-13, a violent gang that was recently named a foreign terrorist organization by the Trump State Department. El Salvador suspects Velasquez-Reyes of committing aggravated murder and issued a notice requesting foreign governments to locate and arrest Velasquez-Reyes. The Salvadoran national has several criminal convictions, including possession of methamphetamines, possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to appear, and criminal impersonation.

“You would think all public officials would unite around DHS bringing violent criminal illegal aliens to justice and removing them from American communities,&#8221; McLaughlin charged. &#8220;However, pro-open borders politicians — like Mayor O’Connell — would rather protect illegal aliens than American citizens.” 
O&#8217;Connell, Nashville&#8217;s mayor, not only spoke out against the raids, but also put local resources towards helping the illegal immigrant community. He announced the creation of the “belonging fund” to offer monetary support for illegal aliens. The fund will allocate money to non-profit organizations that provide childcare, transportation, and food to illegal aliens, though the money will not be used to provide them with legal assistance.
ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons told The Daily Wire that O’Connell should be thankful for the federal agency’s operations in Nashville.
“Instead of vilifying the brave men and women who ensure his constituents stay safe from criminal alien murderers, drug dealers and rapists, the mayor should be saying thank you to ICE and its partners for taking these public safety threats out of his neighborhoods.”
RJ Hauman, the president of National Immigration Center Enforcement and visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, similarly slammed Nashville’s Democrat mayor.
“Sanctuary city mayors keep trying to outdo each other, and Americans are fed up,&#8221; Hauman said. “ICE is stepping up, nabbing serious criminals like child rapists and Tren de Aragua gang members. The American people are behind ICE’s work to kick these threats out and keep our communities safe. Now it’s time for Congress to give them more resources.”
Despite O’Connell’s response to the ICE raids, Nashville’s Legal Director Wally Dietz admitted that the city has no authority to obstruct the operations.
“We are powerless, we have absolutely no authority to instruct ICE not to carry out their enforcement actions,” Dietz explained. “We have no authority to tell THP they cannot cooperate with ICE,” he added, referring to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn (R) praised the raids, saying. “No one wants these criminals in their community” and that it was &#8220;a good thing that ICE is rounding them up and deporting them.”

EXCLUSIVE: Dems Rage Over Nashville ICE Raids That Targeted Rapists And Gang Members

The United States endured a never-before-seen surge in illegal immigration under President Joe Biden, watching as hordes of migrants <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/22/opinion/el-paso-border-rush-video-shows-damage-open-borders-joe-has-done/">charged border barriers</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-has-my-town-become-springfield-residents-say-its-falling-apart-amid-haitian-influx">towns</a> across the country were reshaped virtually overnight by mass migration.
The issue, perhaps more than any other, propelled President Donald Trump to victory in the 2024 election. Trump <a href="https://archive.ph/G2Tm4">pledged</a> to end the “invasion on our southern border&#8221; throughout his campaign. And in the first 100 days of his second administration, the president has slashed border crossings to a fraction of what they were just months ago.
Through a combination of policy changes, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trumps-ice-arrests-1000-illegal-workers-pushes-for-fines-on-businesses-using-illegal-labor?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=9&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump%E2%80%99s+ICE+Arrests+1%2C000+Illegal+Workers%2C+Pushes+For+Fines+On+Businesses+Using+Illegal+Labor">arrests and deportations</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trumps-treasury-sanctions-cartel-drug-runners-behind-fentanyl-trafficking-human-smuggling?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=13&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump%E2%80%99s+Treasury+Sanctions+Cartel+Drug-Runners+Behind+Fentanyl+Trafficking%2C+Human+Smuggling">sanctions</a>, and coordination with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-officials-bukele-tear-into-cnn-reporter-who-asked-if-illegal-alien-will-be-returned-to-u-s?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=14&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Officials%2C+Bukele+Tear+Into+CNN+Reporter+Who+Asked+If+Illegal+Alien+Will+Be+Returned+To+U.S.">foreign governments,</a> Trump says his  administration has facilitated a dramatic <a href="https://x.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/1916478016286323049">99.9 percent drop</a> in border encounters.
Customs and Border Protection data recorded <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/nationwide-encounters">over 11 million</a> illegal alien encounters nationwide under the Biden administration — <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters">roughly 9 million</a> of which took place at the southern border. By May of Biden’s last year in office, federal data showed that 1.7 million illegal alien <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/05/16/us-news/1-7-million-gotaways-have-sneaked-into-us-under-biden-data/">&#8220;gotaways&#8221;</a> entered the country.
Illegal immigration was so dramatic under Biden that the foreign-born population surged to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/foreign-born-population-surges-to-new-high-with-illegal-immigration-driving-increase-report-finds">new high</a> of 53 million. Two-thirds of the growth of the foreign-born population during the Biden presidency is estimated to be due to illegal immigration. There are approximately <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-alien-population-surges-to-record-high-bombshell-study-finds">18.6 million illegal aliens</a> currently present in the United States, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
But the situation on the southern border changed drastically after Trump&#8217;s inauguration.
“From Jan. 21 through Jan. 31, the number of U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions along the southwest border dropped 85% from the same period in 2024,” the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/02/illegal-border-crossings-plummeted-in-january/">pointed out</a> in a press release, citing ABC News.
The Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-celebrates-steep-drop-in-illegal-border-crossings?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=75&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Admin+Celebrates+Steep+Drop+In+Illegal+Border+Crossings">recorded a 93 percent drop</a> in illegal border crossings in the eleven days after Trump&#8217;s inauguration. The decline proved to be even more precipitous by March, when Vice President JD Vance visited the southern border and boasted of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/vance-does-victory-lap-at-border-all-it-took-was-a-new-president?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=55&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Vance+Does+Victory+Lap+At+Border%3A+%E2%80%98All+It+Took+Was+A+New+President%E2%80%99">98 percent reduction</a> in border crossings.
The rapid drop in border crossings came after Trump announced and implemented sweeping changes to immigration policy. Upon taking office, Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/01/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-declares-a-national-emergency-at-the-southern-border/">declared</a> a national emergency at the southern border, ordering the Secretary of Defense to deploy troops to the border and for border wall construction to resume.
By early March, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/us/politics/military-border-immigration.html">roughly 9,000</a> active-duty soldiers were at the southern border.
One of Trump&#8217;s most consequential policy changes was the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-administration-reinstating-remain-mexico-program-2025-01-21/">reinstatement</a> of the Remain in Mexico policy, which requires migrants to stay in Mexico while their asylum claims are processed.
It&#8217;s a departure from the Biden administration&#8217;s catch-and-release policy, which allowed asylum seekers to enter the United States and live and work in the country while their claims are processed. Some migrants freed into the country under Biden were given court dates in <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/11/migrants-admitted-to-us-given-2035-immigration-court-dates/">2035.</a>
Trump also immediately <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/realigning-the-united-states-refugee-admissions-program/">suspended</a> the Refugee Admissions Program and halted <a href="https://cis.org/Bensman/Government-Admission-Biden-Parole-Flights-Create-Security-Vulnerabilities-US-Airports">flights of migrants</a> from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, and Ecuador, which the Biden administration used to streamline more than 300,000 migrants into the interior of the United States.
In March, the Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-transforms-bidens-cbp-one-app-leave-now-and-self-deport">repurposed</a> an online application that the Biden administration used to bring hundreds of thousands of migrants into the interior of the country. Formerly called CBP One, the Biden administration used the app to let migrants remotely schedule asylum appointments. It has since been renamed CBP Home, and allows migrants to alert the government of their “intent to depart” the United States.
Trump’s Department of Homeland Security even launched an <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/03/15/dhs-launches-international-ad-campaign-warning-illegal-aliens-self-deport-and-stay">international advertising campaign</a> warning would-be illegal aliens not to attempt to enter the United States.
“If you are a criminal alien considering entering America illegally: Don’t even think about it. If you come here and break our laws, we will hunt you down. Criminals are not welcome in the United States,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says in the ads, which have been broadcast on television, radio, social media, and even through targeted text messages.
The effects of Trump’s immigration policies weren’t just seen at the southern border. They&#8217;ve even been noticed by Latin American countries like Colombia, which watched as caravans of migrants traveled through it on their way to the United States.
Colombia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/latin-american-country-sees-massive-drop-in-migration-attributes-decline-to-trump-border-policies?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=47&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Latin+American+Country+Sees+Drop+In+Migration+To+U.S.%2C+Attributes+Decline+To+Trump+Border+Policies">recorded</a> a 61 percent decline in migratory flow through the country to the Darién Gap, a treacherous stretch of jungle that migrants cross through on their way to the United States in the first month of Trump’s administration. Colombia attributed the decline to “the change in U.S. immigration policy” under Trump.

How Trump Sealed The Border In His First 100 Days

Border Wall

The Trump administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested more than 1,000 illegal alien workers and is proposing fines against businesses that have used illegal labor.
ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) announced Wednesday that they have taken historic actions against illegal alien workers, and against the businesses profiting from illegal alien labor.
“This is the highest rate of arrest in HSI’s history,” HSI acting Executive Associate Director Robert Hammer <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-arrests-over-1k-illegal-workers-proposes-1m-fines">explained</a>. “We’ve subpoenaed the business records of about 1,200 businesses, and as part of our review, we’ve proposed close to $1 million in fines.”
He also railed against businesses that use illegal labor. “Businesses that exploit and hire illegal workers are harming the American public,” Hammer charged. “ICE’s statutory duties include protecting Americans and enforcing more than 400 laws that relate to immigration, so there are two aspects to our worksite enforcement operations.”
The agency says it has increased its workplace enforcement efforts in the past two months.
“On April 2, we filed a civil complaint against a Chinese money laundering organization that orders the multimillion-dollar seizure of 14 properties, seven bank accounts and 15 vehicles,” ICE Detroit acting Special Agent in Charge Jared Murphey said. The agency alleges that the money laundering ring operated a staffing company that supplied illegal alien labor to an Ohio factory.
ICE also recently captured 37 illegal aliens working at a roofing company in Washington state. The federal agency says that the aliens “fraudulently represented their immigration status and submitted fraudulent documents” in order to gain employment.
That raid came after ICE and HSI <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ice-and-homeland-security-busts-8-illegal-aliens-and-the-business-owners-they-say-harbored-them">arrested</a> eight illegal aliens at a workplace raid at a bakery in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. The raid also resulted in the arrest of the two owners of the business, who allegedly hired the employees despite knowing that they were in the country illegally.
Immigration experts have also <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=16&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=The+One+Simple+Trick+That+Could+Lead+Illegal+Immigrants+To+Self-Deport">explained</a> that a national E-Verify mandate could prevent illegal aliens from obtaining jobs, thus encouraging them to self-deport en masse.
“It would make it much more difficult to get work. It would mean that a significant number of people would…opt not to come here illegally or even decide to go home,” Mark Krikorian, the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Daily Wire.
Ira Mehlman, the Media Director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), explained that an E-Verify mandate would remove the biggest incentive that illegal aliens have to come into the country.
“The vast majority of illegal aliens — especially the ones who arrived during the Biden administration — are economic migrants. Their strongest motivation for coming here was the ability to find a job and better wages,” he said. “If employers were mandated to use E-Verify and the government demonstrated the resolve to hold employers accountable, that would go a long way toward drying up the supply of jobs for illegal aliens, thereby eliminating the biggest incentive to come or remain here illegally.”
One recent FAIR study estimated that there are 18.6 million illegal aliens present in the United States, presenting a seismic challenge for immigration enforcement authorities. “There’s no question that a large part, and maybe most, of any reduction in the illegal population has to come through self deportation,” Krikorian noted.

Trump’s ICE Arrests 1,000 Illegal Workers, Pushes For Fines On Businesses Using Illegal Labor

Donald Trump

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

U.S.

The federal judge who temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s decision to revoke the temporary legal status of half a million migrants volunteered for and donated to prominent Democrat politicians, including former President Barack Obama and Senator Elizabeth Warren.
United States District Judge Indira Talwani was the latest left-wing judge to stonewall Trump’s agenda after she stopped his administration from revoking the legal status of migrants from Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba who were allowed into the country by the Biden administration. The decision temporarily prevents Trump from issuing removal orders against the migrants.
An estimated 530,000 migrants from the four countries were paroled by the Biden administration and are currently allowed to live and work in the United States. The immigration parole program was responsible for the massive influx of Haitian migrants to Rustbelt towns like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-has-my-town-become-springfield-residents-say-its-falling-apart-amid-haitian-influx">Springfield, Ohio, </a>and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-not-just-springfield-this-small-town-in-pennsylvania-is-overrun-by-haitian-migrants-too">Charleroi, Pennsylvania</a>.
Talwani, who was <a href="https://www.mad.uscourts.gov/boston/talwani.htm">appointed</a> by former President Barack Obama, has a history of partisan political activity, both donating to and volunteering for Democratic politicians.
The federal judge <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?contributor_name=Indira+Talwani">donated</a> a total of $1,725 to Democrat politicians and the Democratic Party, including $1,000 to former Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), $350 to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and $100 to Obama. Talwani also gave another $275 to the Democratic National Committee.
Talwani explained on her Senate questionnaire that she also volunteered to knock on doors for Obama in 2008 and volunteered to canvass on behalf of Elizabeth Warren in 2012. She also volunteered for former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick during his 2006 campaign and for failed Senate candidate Martha Coakley in 2010.
The federal judge has a history of issuing rulings that impede Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda. Talwani <a href="https://universalhub.com/files/attachments/2025/ozturk-order.pdf">ruled</a> earlier this year that the administration’s Department of Homeland Security had to provide the court with advanced notice before it removed Turkish national Rumeysa Ozturk from the state. The administration revoked Ozturk’s visa due to her involvement in anti-Israel protests.
In one 2019 decision, Talwani <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2019/06/21/obama-judge-blocks-ice-from-courthouses/">ruled</a> that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are not allowed to arrest illegal aliens on courthouse grounds in the state of Massachusetts. Her ruling was a win for the plaintiffs, who argued that permitting ICE arrests on courthouse grounds would discourage criminal witnesses and victims from testifying in court.
But Talwani’s adherence to left-wing ideology could persist beyond the issue of immigration. The federal judge <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/06/17/7774148-gender-freespeech-obama-judge-lgbtq/">ruled</a> in favor of a school district that sent a middle school student home for wearing a t-shirt that read “there are only two genders.” Talwani decided that the district, which claimed that the shirt “invades the rights of others,” was within its rights to bar the shirt under its dress code and send the seventh grader home.
Talwani is far from the only left-wing judge who has stonewalled the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement agenda.
United States Circuit Judge Patricia Millett, who maintained the injunction against the Trump administration&#8217;s use of the Alien Enemies Act to expedite the removal of criminal illegal aliens, gave <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-who-upheld-block-of-trumps-deportation-flights-is-a-major-dem-donor?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=17&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Judge+Who+Upheld+Block+Of+Trump%E2%80%99s+Deportation+Flights+Is+A+Major+Dem+Donor">more than $31,000</a> to Democrat candidates and the party.
Millett upheld the injunction issued by United States District Judge James Boasberg. A Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meet-the-obama-appointed-judge-trying-to-stop-trump-from-deporting-criminal-illegals">investigation</a> found that Boasberg’s wife is the founder of a DC-area abortion clinic and donated more than $11,000 to Democrats, including to Hillary Clinton as she faced off against Donald Trump in 2016.
