Earlier this week, far-Left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) threatened Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan over their commitment to enforce laws related to illegal immigration, specifically a recent incident concerning New Jersey Democrats at an ICE detention center.

“If anyone’s breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress, it’s the Department of Homeland Security,” AOC claimed in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJfpuCXsK6p/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> posted to Instagram on Sunday. “It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem.”
“You lay a finger on someone, on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman &#8230; or any of the representatives that were there &#8212; you lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem,” AOC threatened. “Because the people who are breaking the law are the people not abiding by it.”
Responding to AOC&#8217;s remarks, Homan told the congresswoman that she should do her job.
&#8220;I wish she&#8217;d do her job,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-border-czar-fires-back-aoc-over-doj-probe-remarks-why-doesnt-she-pass-some-legislation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News earlier this week. &#8220;She&#8217;s a legislator, right? Why doesn’t she pass some legislation … and actually improve this country like President Donald Trump is already doing?&#8221;
&#8220;She should try doing her job,&#8221; Homan added.
On CNN airwaves, the border czar had another message for the Democrat: she should be thanking DHS for keeping her constituents safe.
“First of all, you can‘t intimidate me. Come on, give me a break,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You know, and as far as New York, her district, this administration has done more to protect her district than she has. The number of criminal aliens we took off the streets of New York made her community much safer.”
“She ought to be thanking the members of this administration, the men and women of ICE, who protect this country and make her community safer,” Homan added.

Trump administration Border Czar Tom Homan on Saturday ripped Democrat Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for claiming he was supporting the rule of law when he trespassed at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility.
Baraka was arrested and briefly detained on Friday for &#8220;storming&#8221; the facility, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/newark-mayor-arrested-after-dem-reps-storm-new-jersey-ice-facility-charge-past-security-officers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported. The mayor and two other Democrats reportedly rushed into the center after gates were opened to allow a bus of apparent illegal criminals into the facility.
&#8220;We ask them to obey our laws, to obey the policies, the rules here, in the city and the state of New Jersey, not to run roughshod over the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, the 4th, 5th, the 14th Amendment, that everybody on this soil deserves due process,&#8221; Mayor Baraka said to the press on Friday.
&#8220;Well look, he&#8217;s not very smart,&#8221; Homan <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6372630115112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a> on Fox News. &#8220;The bottom line is, that is what this facility is all about. This facility is about due process. This facility is where we put illegal aliens &#8230; this is where due process happens. We have to detain them to go through the due process of, sometimes seeing a judge,&#8221; or other processes, like sending them back to their country.
Homan went on to criticize the Democrats for rushing the facility and putting safety and security at risk for the public, illegal immigrants, and others. &#8220;You don&#8217;t make an unauthorized entry while they&#8217;re moving a bus of criminals into the facility,&#8221; he said.
The border czar said people don&#8217;t have to support ICE, but they can&#8217;t &#8220;cross that line.&#8221;
&#8220;You can&#8217;t cross that line of impediment, you can&#8217;t cross that line of knowingly harboring, concealing illegal aliens, and you certainly can&#8217;t trespass in a facility that&#8217;s contracted by the U.S. government to house criminals,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;d be like breaking into a prison, not going through the proper protocols. This creates a huge safety crisis.&#8221;
&#8220;This is about politics&#8221; for those Democrats, Homan continued. &#8220;They simply don&#8217;t want these people removed from this country. They don&#8217;t want immigration enforcement in this country.&#8221;
As highlighted by The Daily Wire, Baraka is currently campaigning to be New Jersey’s next governor and has been protesting the ICE facility since it opened.

‘He’s Not Very Smart’: Homan Responds To Newark Mayor Arrested For ‘Storming’ ICE Facility

Democrats

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan responded to far-Left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), after she dared Homan to come after her for helping illegal immigrants evade law enforcement.
AOC, during a town hall on Friday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shame-shame-shame-all-hell-breaks-loose-at-aoc-town-hall?author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=‘Shame%21+Shame%21+Shame%21’%3A+All+Hell+Breaks+Loose+At+AOC+Town+Hall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">challenged</a> Homan to refer her to the Department of Justice for “using her free speech rights” to advise illegal immigrants on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-admits-she-was-openly-advising-illegals-on-how-to-avoid-law-enforcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to avoid law enforcement</a>, saying, &#8220;Come for me.&#8221;
&#8220;I take pleasure I can live in her mind rent-free every day,&#8221; Homan said on Fox News on Tuesday night, responding to the lawmaker.
&#8220;We all know exactly what she&#8217;s doing,&#8221; the border czar continued. &#8220;She&#8217;s educating the worst of the worst on how to evade law enforcement, but the tables have now turned: she&#8217;s educating people how to get prosecuted.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s a crime to take steps to not comply with ICE (Department of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) removal orders, or not comply with ICE actions to take you into custody,&#8221; Homan said. &#8220;You can&#8217;t hinder your own removal that was ordered by the federal judge.&#8221;
&#8220;I would like AOC to read Title 8, USC 1253, because it&#8217;s starting tomorrow,&#8221; he added.

AOC Challenged Tom Homan To ‘Come Get Me' For Helping Illegals. Here’s His Response.

Crime

Border Czar Tom Homan announced that the Trump administration’s immigration team would triple the workforce in sanctuary cities, vowing, “We’re gonna flood the zone with officers.”
After teenaged illegal immigrants belonging to &#8220;Los Diablos de 42,” described as a “farm team&#8221; of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragu gang, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/nypd-officers-attacked-teenage-gang-times-square/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attacked NYPD officers</a> on Friday in Times Square, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch <a href="https://www.fox5ny.com/news/tren-de-aragua-gang-violence-times-square" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acknowledged</a> that NYPD is coordinating with federal agencies, but added, &#8220;The NYPD does not engage in civil immigration issues—period.&#8221;
Homan slammed Tisch, saying to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, “These people are in the country illegally, and the first thing the police commissioner did up there  — she’s ordered an internal affairs investigation. Did someone call ICE? Because we happened to be at the precinct where some of these people were being processed by happenstance, but now all of a sudden there’s an internal affairs investigation.”
“Who called ICE? We just proved to the city commissioner, we proved to the city council, that wants to lock us out of Rikers Island, that working with Mayor Adams &#8230; we indicted 27 members of TdA through a RICO investigation. &#8230; These are people who are murder-for-hire, drug traffickings, sex trafficking, gun trafficking. We took 27 TdA off the street. ICE, with the cooperation of the NYPD, we showed what our partnership can do.”
In mid-April, the New York City Council <a href="https://council.nyc.gov/news/2025/04/15/new-york-city-council-files-lawsuit-to-stop-mayor-adams-illegal-executive-order-inviting-president-trumps-ice-into-rikers-to-set-up-office-seeking-courts-immediate-halt-of/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a lawsuit</a> asking for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and a preliminary injunction against Mayor Eric Adams’ <a href="https://www.nyc.gov/assets/home/downloads/pdf/executive-orders/2025/eo-50.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Executive Order 50</a> to invite ICE to operate an office in the Rikers Island jail.
“They’re already pulling back now,” Homan continued. “So the commissioner is more concerned with who called ICE rather than working with ICE to get these people not out of the street, (but) out of the country. &#8230; This is just another example of sanctuary cities not cooperating with ICE and look what happened: NYPD officers are attacked. If you&#8217;re brazen enough to attack an armed law enforcement officer, you&#8217;re much more dangerous to an unarmed civilian.”
Asked by Ingraham what his message was for three illegal immigrants “still on the loose,” Homan replied, “We’re comin’ for ‘em.” He continued, “These are the type of people that AOC brags, ‘Why I’m educating people on their constitutional rights.’ We all know what she’s doing. She’s educating criminals now to evade law enforcement.”
“Well, you know, I’m gonna do a little educating myself: You don’t want to open the door; you don’t want to answer a question; you don’t want to help us with the travel documents that get you removed, that’s a violation of Title VIII, United States Code 1253. It’s a crime. And we’re going to start prosecuting those crimes tomorrow.”
“If you got a final order, and you want to hinder your removal, you want to put roadblocks up and not cooperate, you want to hide and not open the door, then the agency is gonna start prosecuting you criminally,” he warned. “Then, after you get out of jail from that prosecution, then we deport you. Game’s over. We’re gonna look for these public safety threats and we’re gonna take ‘em off the streets in New York and every other sanctuary city. As a matter of fact, every sanctuary city, we’re gonna triple the workforce. We’re gonna flood the zone with officers. If we can’t arrest them in the jail, we’re gonna arrest them in the community. If we can’t arrest them in the community, we’ll arrest them at their worksite.”

Tom Homan Joins White House Press Briefing

Border Czar Homan: ‘We’re Gonna Triple The Workforce’ In Sanctuary Cities

Immigration

NYPD

Sanctuary Cities

Tren De Aragua

When it comes to immigration, President Trump has been absolutely stalwart.
He&#8217;s actually handled immigration so well that it dropped out of the top four or five issues for Americans. It was the number one or number two issue in every poll for Americans during the 2024 election cycle.
Trump was inaugurated and on the same day, everything started to get fixed because he said, we&#8217;re going to enforce the border, don&#8217;t come here.
People stopped coming.
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced:
<blockquote>Later this afternoon, President Trump will sign an executive order on law and order and another executive order on sanctuary cities. The first EO will strengthen and unleash America&#8217;s law enforcement to pursue criminals and protect innocent citizens. The second EO is centered around protecting American communities from criminal aliens, and it will direct the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to publish a list of state and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws.</blockquote>
All of that is quite good. He signed three executive orders, including one that instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, to pursue all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures against so-called sanctuary cities.
Here&#8217;s the deal: Local law enforcement cannot be militarized by the federal government under the Posse Comitatus Act to actually enforce federal law. That is not permissible.
However, obstruction of justice, which has been happening in these sanctuary cities, where ICE goes in and you have local law enforcement actively obstructing the effort, declaring they are sanctuary cities and going out of their way to thwart federal law, that is something that the federal government should be cracking down on.

Another one of these executive orders “aims to bolster legal resources to police officers accused of wrongdoing, and the third seeks to enforce existing laws requiring professional truck drivers to be proficient in English,” according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04/28/us/trump-news">The New York Times</a>.
President Trump has also been unleashing ICE to go after illegal immigration wherever they find it in significant numbers.
On Monday, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/28/us/colorado-springs-raid-monday/index.html">CNN</a> reported:
<blockquote>US federal agents early Sunday raided what authorities described as an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs and took into custody more than 100 migrants accused of being in the country illegally, the US Drug Enforcement Administration said.</blockquote>
Jonathan Pullen, the special agent in charge, said, “What was happening inside was significant drug trafficking, prostitution, crimes of violence. We seized a number of guns in there.”
The raid had been planned for months, according to Pullen. “During the surveillance, investigators documented drug trafficking, prostitution and the presence of people suspected to be members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, the international gang MS-13, and the Hells Angels, Pullen said,” CNN added.
This was a very large raid. Attorney General Pam Bondi, in describing the nature of the raid, explained that 170 calls to 911 had been made over the last several years. “Wouldn&#8217;t you think that would&#8217;ve been a red flag? Nothing happened. Guns, shootings, [aggravated] batteries, nothing happened,&#8221; she told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/pam-bondi-offers-new-details-colorado-nightclub-raid-wisconsin-judge-aided-illegal-immigrant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>.
Their work on immigration is the upside of the Trump administration. They&#8217;ve been doing an excellent job, even though courts have been attempting to hamstring them pretty much every step of the way. The Trump administration has been completely thorough. They are doing a good job on all of this, and they&#8217;re being very aggressive in their public-facing about it as well.
According to <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/04/28/trump-posters-white-house-arrested-immigrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axios</a>, “Trump administration officials late Sunday began placing dozens of posters of arrested unauthorized immigrants along the White House driveway. The posters — which read &#8220;ARRESTED&#8221; — specify various crimes linked to the pictured immigrants and have the White House&#8217;s official logo at the bottom.”
These posters were designed to reiterate that the goal here is to deport criminal illegal immigrants.
Immigration is still President Trump&#8217;s most popular issue.
It should be.

You knew it was coming. You woke up and the sun seemed a little brighter.
The birds are singing. Planes are flying — mostly full of gang members headed to their new, secure home in El Salvador. Yes, things are returning to normal.
It’s Norming in America.
So go ahead, touch some grass. As Ben Shapiro likes to say, “The era of weird is over and the era of the normie is back.”
And to celebrate Norming in America, we put together this neat video for you.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="It&#039;s Norming in America." width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P-V3aL9MxtA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Today, we’re actually arresting shoplifters and fewer businesses are being burned down. All over America, pronouns are being dropped from bios. Men are (still) not having babies. And fewer drag queens are flashing their genitals at children.
What is Norming in America, you ask? Easy.
It’s the return of the word &#8220;illegal.&#8221; It’s Tom Homan on CNN citing chapter and verse of America’s legal code.
It’s leaving &#8220;wokeness and weakness&#8221; behind at the Pentagon. And it’s the sound of federal employees scattering as “Big Balls” from DOGE enters the building.
It’s the return of the Easter Bunny to the White House lawn instead of the trans guy flashing his chest for the camera.
It’s a press secretary who makes sense when she speaks. And it’s trying to keep up with a president who only needs three hours of sleep to make it through the day compared to a president who needed three naps.
It’s the return of biological reality and the removal of men from women’s sports and female prisons.
It’s America feeling like America again.
So join us, and let’s never go back to those weird, angry, divisive times again.

BOSTON—The Daily Wire joined U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons and his agents in Greater Boston as they hunted down criminal illegal aliens.
The operation comes as President Donald Trump marks his first 100 days in office, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homan-does-indeed-bring-hell-to-boston-much-more-to-do-but-it-will-be-done" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Border Czar Tom Homan</a> vows to “go to Boston and bring hell with me” in an effort to arrest illegal aliens who have sexually assaulted children.
“We did more arrests in these 100 days than the previous administration did last year,” Lyons told The Daily Wire in his first interview.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="ICE Agents &#039;Bring Hell&#039; To Boston With The Daily Wire" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5s2AKiJlSEk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Lyons became the acting director of ICE in March after five years as Boston Field Office Director. He said morale is at an all-time high following the Trump administration giving the support needed to remove illegal aliens.
ICE is focused on deporting the “worst of the worst” that the Biden administration ignored, like violent criminal illegal aliens or those who have been deported before.
“It’s the worst crime in the world when you sexually assault a child,” <a href="https://x.com/KassyAkiva/status/1916861488616133083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Homan said</a> in a White House press briefing on Monday. “That’s why I made a statement that one time I was going to go to Boston and bring hell with me.”

During the ride-along on Friday, ICE arrested 55-year-old Miguel Angel Chavez, who was convicted on two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 and deported in 2013. Chavez, a citizen of El Salvador, illegally re-entered the United States at an unknown place and time following his first deportation.

The second arrestee during the mission was 69-year-old Jose Lazaro Ayala, who illegally entered the country undetected and was convicted in September of leaving the scene of an accident involving an injured person or death. Ayala is pending removal to El Salvador, according to ICE.
“These aren&#8217;t the people you want in your neighborhood,” Lyons said. “These arrests right here show what we&#8217;ve done these first 100 days and what Secretary Noem and President Trump have been really pushing for: that ICE gets the worst of the worst.”
ICE was unable to target three other criminal illegal aliens in the mission, possibly because poor weather kept them from going to their outdoor jobs.

The Daily Wire witnessed firsthand the challenges ICE is facing in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tom-homan-biden-first-president-to-intentionally-leave-border-unsecured" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sanctuary jurisdictions</a> during the ride-along. According to Lyons, migrants are attracted to places like Massachusetts because of its generous social service benefits. Numerous sanctuary cities make deportations more difficult by often refusing to cooperate with ICE.
“One of the big difficulties operating in our sanctuary jurisdiction is that these are actual public safety threats,” he said. “A jail, a police department, a sheriff&#8217;s department, and state police have deemed these individuals a public safety threat and locked them up. Yet instead of working with the federal government, they decide to release them back on the street.”

Lyons said that in sanctuary jurisdictions, agents have to work harder to surveil targets and gather information about them to plan arrests.
“For these two today, anywhere between 40 to 80 hours could have been put in just on surveillance in research into these crimes, because, number one, there are ghosts,” he said.
“The state doesn&#8217;t provide us driver&#8217;s license data, registration data. So really, the men and women of ICE have to go and create these cases on their own and then get out there and do surveillance and try to get court and police records.”

(Yisroel Teitelbaum)</div>
By not working with ICE, sanctuary cities increase the number of deportations, according to Lyons. Instead of simply picking up criminal illegal aliens at jails, ICE is forced to track them down at their workplaces or in their neighborhoods. This often results in other illegal aliens — violent criminals or not — being arrested as well.

Lyons credited ICE’s recent success to Trump’s whole-of-government approach, which pairs ICE with agents from other federal agencies, including the FBI, DEA, IRS, Diplomatic Security Service, and others.
“With no doubt, ICE is helping the president establish his goals and his pledges that he made during the campaign, which was to get the worst of the worst outside of our communities, and I think this first hundred days have been a great success,” Lyons said.

Deportations

Illegal Immigration

Border czar Tom Homan said Monday that Joe Biden was the first president in history to intentionally leave the border unsecured.
Homan made the comments at a White House briefing to discuss border enforcement during President Donald Trump&#8217;s first hundred days. Homan said that under Trump, unlawful crossings were &#8220;historically low&#8221; and that the border was the most secure it has ever been, in contrast to the record number of illegal immigrants that entered the United States under the Biden administration.
&#8220;Every president I ever worked for took border security seriously because you can&#8217;t have national security if you don&#8217;t have strong border security,&#8221; Homan said. &#8220;Even President Obama and President Clinton took some steps to secure the border because they understood national security was important. Joe Biden is the first president in the history of this nation who came into office and unsecured a border on purpose. That&#8217;s just a fact.&#8221;
He later said that Biden&#8217;s immigration policies were motivated by the desire that a future Democratic president would give illegal immigrants released into the country amnesty, saying Biden was &#8220;selling this country off for future political power.&#8221;

&nbsp;
Contrasting Biden and Trump, Homan said that between 11,000-15,000 people were crossing the border illegally per day this time of the year under Biden, while under Trump, just 178 had crossed in the last 24 hours. During the same time, he said there were 1,800 known &#8220;gotaways&#8221; under Biden, compared to just 38 under Trump. Homan added that from January 20 to April 1, 2024, Biden released 184,000 illegals out of federal custody into the country. The Trump administration has only released nine total, including four so they could testify in criminal cases and four with extreme medical conditions.
In total, Homan said that there have been 139,000 deportations under Trump. He added that the administration was prioritizing the estimated 700,000 illegals who have been charged with crimes. The Trump administration on Monday placed signs on the White House lawn featuring mugshots of deported illegals arrested over crimes like rape and murder.
&nbsp;
During the briefing, Homan also weighed in on the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Friday over allegations that she helped an illegal immigrant from Mexico evade ICE.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to support ICE&#8217;s operations. You can support sanctuary cities if that&#8217;s what you desire to do. Sanctuary cities can stand aside and watch ICE keep their communities safe,&#8221; Homan said. &#8220;When you cross that line to impediment or knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien from ICE, you will be prosecuted, judge or not.&#8221;

A twice-deported illegal alien who killed a young couple in a drunk driving accident was set to be let out of a California prison more than six years early.
Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, a Mexican national, was charged with manslaughter and sentenced to ten years in prison after he <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/top-trump-officials-file-charges-against-illegal-immigrant-after-fox-news-exposes-early-release-plans">killed</a> Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin in a drunk driving accident in Orange County, California, in November 2021.
The young couple was burned alive after Ortega-Anguiano barreled into their vehicle while high, drunk, and driving nearly 100 miles per hour. The family was notified by the state that the illegal alien was set to be released from prison after serving just over one-third of his ten-year sentence.
Anya Varfolomeev’s father <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/illegal-immigrant-convicted-killing-teens-high-speed-crash-released-early">decried</a> the planned early release of the illegal alien. “It&#8217;s disgusting. You have two young, unbelievable future, productive American citizens killed for nothing and that illegal immigrant who already has been deported twice is going to be released again? For what?” Anatoly Varfolomeev said. “If even he is deported, he will come back.”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed an immigration detainer on the illegal alien, and after public backlash, Governor Gavin Newsom&#8217;s press office has announced that the state will be <a href="https://x.com/GovPressOffice/status/1915107716688962033">honoring the request</a>.
“After being deported in 2013, this individual unlawfully re-entered the US &amp; committed heinous crimes,” the governor’s press office said in a post on X. “CDCR will again coordinate with ICE — as they have w/ 10,000+ inmates — to transfer him before release.”
Ortega-Anguiano will face new federal charges from the Department of Justice (DOJ) for illegally reentering the United States after having previously been deported.
“My office has filed a felony immigration charge against this defendant. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted for 8 USC 1326,” Bill Essayli, the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California wrote on X. “If the State of California will not seek the full measure of justice against this individual, the [Department of Justice] will.”

President Donald Trump ordered federal and state flags to fly at half-staff in memory of Pope Francis, who died Monday at the age of 88.
The executive order followed earlier condolences from both Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who briefly met with Francis on Easter Sunday at the Vatican.
&#8220;As a mark of respect for the memory of His Holiness Pope Francis, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, on the day of interment,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114376655236734018">wrote</a>. &#8220;I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.&#8221;
Shortly after he signed the order, Trump appeared at the White House Easter Egg Roll, where he addressed the death of Francis.
&#8220;I just signed an executive order putting the flags of our country — all of them, all federal flags and state flags — at half-mast in honor of Pope Francis. He was a good man, worked hard. He loved the world.&#8221;

In recent months, Francis has attacked the Trump administration&#8217;s planned deportation of millions of illegal immigrants.
“I have followed closely the major crisis that is taking place in the United States with the initiation of a program of mass deportations. The rightly formed conscience cannot fail to make a critical judgment and express its disagreement with any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality,” Francis <a href="https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/letters/2025/documents/20250210-lettera-vescovi-usa.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in a February letter to Catholic Bishops in the United States.

On Sunday, Trump border czar Tom Homan condemned Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) for making a taxpayer funded trip to El Salvador to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant who was deported from the United States last month.
Homan redirected a question from ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; by anchor Jonathan Karl when pressed about Abrego Garcia, who has been imprisoned in El Salvador, his home country. Abrego Garcia&#8217;s legal team has been <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69777799/1/abrego-garcia-v-noem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fighting</a> the federal government in a high-profile court to secure his return to the United States. Van Hollen, who claims Abrego Garcia is a Maryland “constituent” who endured an &#8220;abduction and unlawful deportation,&#8221; met the man on Thursday.

&#8220;Sen. Van Hollen is — obviously got a chance to meet with [Abrego Garcia], but he had to travel to El Salvador to get any information. Is (sic) that concern you at all? I mean, these are people sent by — I mean, in his case, sent by the United States, and not even a U.S. senator could get any information about his whereabouts, or the condition of his incarceration, without actually going down and making the trip to El Salvador himself?&#8221; Karl asked.
&#8220;Well, he obviously knew his whereabouts, because he went there to see him. But you know, what bothers me more than that is a U.S. senator traveled to El Salvador on taxpayer dime to meet with an MS-13 gang member, public safety threat, terrorist. I mean, in the meantime, the day before he traveled, an illegal alien was arrested for murder, was released to the streets rather than honoring an ICE detainer in his very own state,&#8221; Homan retorted.
The Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/facilitate-not-effectuate-wh-responds-to-scotus-ruling-on-mistakenly-deported-salvadoran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses</a> Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-13, which has been <a href="https://www.state.gov/designation-of-international-cartels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designated</a> as a foreign terror organization, and has released <a href="https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1396906/dl?inline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-senator-van-hollen-did-not-ask-deported-illegal-immigrant-ms-13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photo</a> evidence to substantiate the affiliation. Abrego Garcia&#8217;s attorneys <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69777799/1/abrego-garcia-v-noem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deny</a> the claim.
On CNN, Van Hollen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-senator-van-hollen-did-not-ask-deported-illegal-immigrant-ms-13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dared</a> the Trump administration to bring up the gang affiliation claim in Abrego Garcia’s ongoing deportation case. The senator also <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1913954303418474622" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conceded</a> during an interview on &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; that his trip to El Salvador was funded by taxpayer dollars.
Homan went on to criticize Van Hollen over the border crisis during President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration.
&#8220;What concerns me is Van Hollen never went to the border the last four years under Joe Biden, when he had a 600% increase in sex trafficking in women and children,&#8221; Homan said. &#8220;You have a record number of known inspected terrorists crossing that border. You had a quarter of a million Americans die from fentanyl overdose because of the open border. You had over 4,000 illegal aliens died making that journey, which is an historic record. What shocks me is he&#8217;s remained silent on the travesty that happened on the southern border. Many people died, thousands of people died. I met with hundreds of Angel moms and dads who buried their children that were murdered by illegal aliens. How many Angel moms and dads has he met in the state of Maryland? That&#8217;s what concerns me.&#8221;
Last week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-calls-surprise-briefing-with-patty-morin-whose-daughter-was-killed-by-illegal-alien?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=White+House+Calls+Surprise+Briefing+With+Patty+Morin%2C+Whose+Daughter+Was+Killed+By+Illegal+Alien" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> Van Hollen and other Democrats who have rallied in support of Abrego Garcia during a press briefing alongside <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inside-the-briefing-room-an-angel-mom-begs-white-house-media-to-tell-the-truth-about-illegal-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patty Morin</a>, whose daughter, Rachel, 37, was raped and murdered in Maryland two years ago by another illegal immigrant from El Salvador.
“It’s appalling and sad that Senator Van Hollen and the Democrats applauding his trip to El Salvador today are incapable of having any shred of common sense or empathy for their own constituents and our citizens,” Leavitt said.

Trump border czar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tom-homan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Homan</a> said this week that he will fully support the local police officers who are being targeted for helping U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE personnel in a New York sanctuary city.
Officers from the Rochester Police Department (RPD) are being targeted by Rochester&#8217;s Democrat Mayor Malik Evans and Police Chief David Smith for responding to a call for backup from ICE agents on Monday, and allegedly handcuffing individuals when on the scene. The department has even opened an internal investigation into the matter.
&#8220;The officers on the scene verbally directed the occupants to get out of the vehicle, and this is against our policy,&#8221; Mayor Evans said at a press conference this week, 13 WHAM News <a href="https://13wham.com/news/local/rochester-police-officers-accused-of-violating-policy-while-assisting-border-patrol-agents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;Our policy is crystal clear. City police officers do not help or participate in federal immigration activities,&#8221; Evans said, referring to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawmakers-grill-sanctuary-city-mayors-on-illegal-immigration-live-updates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sanctuary city policy</a>. &#8220;Every RPD officer — I&#8217;ve instructed the chief — every officer receives more training on general orders to make sure all members are fully aware and fully understand this policy.&#8221;
&#8220;From watching the body-worn camera footage, what is concerning to me is despite the fact that we were called, we went lights and sirens,&#8221; Chief Smith said. &#8220;I see in the video a total lack of urgency on the part of multiple Border Patrol officers at the scene.&#8221;
&#8220;We are not to be handcuffing subjects,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We are not to be doing pat frisks on subjects, and we are absolutely not going to be detaining them or putting them into our cars.&#8221;
Homan has repeatedly offered his support for these officers who helped ICE, saying that he&#8217;s planning to come to Rochester and that &#8220;help is coming.&#8221;
&#8220;I stand with the officers of the Rochester, New York Police Department that answered the emergency assistance call from the U.S Border Patrol,&#8221; the border czar said in a statement on X. &#8220;The men and women of the Border Patrol have never refused the request for assistance from any law enforcement agency when they are available. That is the way it should be. Law enforcement officers should not be abandoned in the time of need because of politics.&#8221;
&#8220;Sanctuary policies endanger our police and the public,&#8221; he added. &#8220;President Trump and AG Pam Bondi are committed to taking them on and so am I. Help is coming!&#8221;
