Trump, who campaigned on stopping illegal immigration, is pretty much failing completely to arrest any people who cross the border, and is instead arresting US citizens, as he fails to meet his arrest targets
https://www.newsweek.com/ice-arrests-border-patrol-white-house-pressure-more-2078025
More migrants are being arrested and detained within the United States than at the southwest border, but the White House reportedly wants even more to be held despite limited capacity in detention centers.

In a major shift for immigration enforcement, the latest detention data from ICE showed 11,367 of those booked into facilities in May were arrested by the agency, while 2,415 came from Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

In May 2024, 20,131 arrivals were arrested by CBP, compared to 8,451 by ICE.

Both agencies operate under the Department of Homeland Security.

The shift in arrests comes amid an Axios report Wednesday that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is putting pressure on Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to triple the number of daily arrests made by her agents, including those working for ICE.

"I think it's evident to everybody that the last administration's policies they rolled back, on the first days in the office of the Biden administration was basically an unguarded, unprotected border. Everybody was given free rein to come here, it was just a mess," Scott Mechkowski, a retired deputy field director with ICE, told Newsweek Wednesday. "I think President Trump's administration, his policies, are effective and shut down the mass migration and it makes border enforcement more manageable now."

Newsweek reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment via email Wednesday morning.

Incredible display from Repubs.

>>1408550
Yeah tell me more how we're not doing enough to combat illegal immigration. Especially compared to the last faggot that was in office.

>>1408551
If they've done so much yet are somehow STILL failing to meet the quotas based on Biden's "millions of illegal border jumpers", to the point they've began to resort to deporting legal immigrants between court meetings, I'm starting to think they're working off a false basis.

>>1408552
I mean if you really want to try and act like we're not doing anything with illegal immigration, and we're not being hard enough according do you, we can go FULL THIRD REICH with this shit and be the nazis you've called us for the last 15 years. Start throwing people like you in camps for hiding Mexicans under the floorboards and shit. Because I guess we haven't been going hard enough.

>>1408550
You left out the part where they're stripping students and refugees of legal status to increase the number of illegals in the country.

>>1408547 (OP)
Given that A) the number of illegal border crossings has dropped 95% since trump deployed the US military to the border (and pressured Mexico into doing the same) and B) the number of ICE deportations is what the CBP was deporting last year, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of illegal immigrants in this country actually go down this year. I don't think that's ever happened in my lifetime.

Also, if Trump met his deportation targets, it would be exactly like what this guy's imagining >>1408553, because according to the article, the limiting factor here is available space in deportation facilities, meaning it probably would be literal camps if trump wants to hit his targets

>>1408554
>to increase the number of illegals in the country.
Did you miss the part where illegal crossings are down 95%?

>>1408556
Did you miss the part where people getting stripped of legal status don't count as crossings?

>>1408557
I never said they did you dumb faggot. Now excuse me while I try to find the world's smallest violin so I can play it for all those terrorist supporting cocksuckers getting their student visa revoked because they hate America so much.

I swear we're the only nation on the planet expected to take in people that openly hate us. You'd think if we're such a dictatorship people would go somewhere else. But I digress.

>>1408558
And the reason you support stripping legal status from all those socialist-hating, America-loving, god-fearing Latin Americans and Haitians is?

>terrorist supporting cocksuckers
Nah, our government is the terrorist supporter, even Israel's former PM is openly calling their regime genocidal at this point.

>>1408558
>I swear we're the only nation on the planet expected to take in people that openly hate us
I refer you to basically every former imperial power of Europe

Also student visas are temporary in the first place. We aren't expected to take those people in. It's a fucking business arrangement.

>>1408560
>WAAAAAAHHHH WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HARASS AND ATTACK JEWISH STUDENTS AND ANYONE WEARING A MAGA HAT FUCK YOU BIGOT WE DESERVE TO BE IN YOUR COUNTRY YOU HAVE TO TAKE US IN BIDEN SAID SO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Keep crying as we toss out Hamas supporting faggots like you. The only reason you haven't got the boot yet is because, unfortunately, you were born here so we can't get rid of you... yet (but God help me if I had things my way...).

>>1408563

Anon...

>>1408547 (OP)
This is one of the most b******* posts I've ever seen on here. Who's paying you to post this? The reason ICE arrest have rocketed up yet CBP arrest have cratered downward it's because way way less people are attempting to cross the border now that Trump is the president. Less encounters at the border equals less CBP arrests. We are seeing the least encounters at the border daily in decades.

>>1408566
https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/immigration-ice-deportations-stephen-miller
In a tense meeting last week, top Trump aide Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanded that immigration agents seek to arrest 3,000 people a day, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

Why it matters: The new target is triple the number of daily arrests that agents were making in the early days of Trump's term — and suggests the president's top immigration officials are full-steam ahead in pushing for mass deportations.

The increased pressure on agents comes as border-crossing numbers have plummeted in Trump's first four months. It signals an increasingly aggressive approach to making arrests in non-border communities nationwide.
It also comes as the Trump administration's heavy-handed tactics in rounding up unauthorized immigrants — and in some cases, legal residents and even U.S. citizens — appear to have contributed to President Trump's slipping poll numbers on immigration.

Oh I'm sorry, I thought you already answered your own question in that post with:
>>terrorist supporting cocksuckers
Which didn't stop you from making a retarded whataboutism with Israel and using the equally retarded "genocidal" claim (ironic how the Palestine population is growing) - none of which justifies these foreigners coming to our country to start shit, but of course you tried to frame it as just
>Latin Americans and Haitians

tl;dr quit being a disingenuous faggot

>>1408569
>ironic how the Palestine population is growing
The population of Gaza is not growing. (inb4 you use population growth estimates from 2023 figures to rebut this.)
>Which didn't stop you from making a retarded whataboutism
It's not a whataboutism. I mention refugees in the first fucking place.
>>1408554
>students and refugees
You just never addressed the issue.

And in fact continue to refuse to.
>tl;dr quit being a disingenuous faggot
I return your words to you.

The administration has stripped legal status from thousands of times more refugees than fucking students.

>>1408570
>The population of Gaza is not growing.
The fucking number of Palestinians is growing. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a genocide usually require a DECREASE in population? You'd think the jews would be better at that shit given their experience in the 30s/40s.
>b-but the UN said
Don't give a fuck.

>It's not a whataboutism.
It absolutely is whataboutism. These cocksucking retards are simping for Hamas, going to funerals for terrorist leaders that have blown up Americans, and all you do is go "well but whatabout israel ism?"
> I mention refugees in the first fucking place.
Not our fucking problem. Tell Saudi Arabia to take them.

>You just never addressed the issue.
You realize that's another person, you stupid fuck?

>The administration has stripped legal status from thousands of times more refugees than fucking students.
Translation: illegal immigrants that you want to grant an asylum hearing for all 11 million of the fucking cockroaches because Biden didn't jam enough of them in before he left office. Suck my dick. They don't belong here, especially when they show contempt for our laws and systems by breaking into the nation to start with. Cry all you want, Trump is booting them out as fast as he can and I'm all for that.

>>1408572
>The fucking number of Palestinians is growing
The population of Gaza is not growing.
>Don't give a fuck.
Obviously you don't give a fuck. You don't even try to lie convincingly.

>It absolutely is whataboutism
Again, I was discussing that shit in the first place. Don't jump into a conversation and then act like everyone should discuss what you demand and if you don't it's a whataboutism. You're acting like a toddler.

>You realize that's another person, you stupid fuck?
Then maybe don't jump in the conversation and act like I'm the one changing the subject, you dumb cuck?

>11 million
I am referring to people that came here legally and had recognized refugee status, not people awaiting hearings on whether not they'll get it. They weren't part of the "11 million" you're referring to.

>Trump is booting them out as fast as he can and I'm all for that.
>And the reason you support stripping legal status from all those socialist-hating, America-loving, god-fearing Latin Americans and Haitians is?

Yap, yap, yap. You sure like lying and bitching a lot and sure hate explaining yourself. Nobody fucking cares what you want. Doubly so if you don't even have a coherent reason for it.

God I've seen more coherent and better behaved 3 year olds than you. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't even know how to wipe your ass from this fucking performance.

Don't fucking complain about USA kicking out people who hate USA and then trying to counter with "BUTWHATABOUTISRAEL".

>Then maybe don't jump in the conversation and act like I'm the one changing the subject, you dumb cuck?
You're the retarded plebbitor that can't figure out how replies work.

>I am referring to people that came here legally and had recognized refugee status,
Yeah like Abrego Garcia? Heard that bullshit before. But tell you what, why don't you give me a specific example. I'll point out why you're a misleading faggot with whatever you pick.

>And the reason you support stripping legal status from all those socialist-hating, America-loving, god-fearing Latin Americans and Haitians is?
Such as?

>blah blah blah I have no argument so here's me sperging like a retard at the end of my post
>Nobody fucking cares what you want.
And nobody cares about those "refugees" (translation: illegals and terrorist-supporting visa holders) getting kicked out except for anti-American faggots like you (i.e. the average democrat).

>>1408576
>2023
Wow, you did an even stupider thing than I was expecting you to do. Bravo. You are impressively dumb. Just fucking phenomenal.

>Don't fucking complain about USA kicking out people who hate USA and then trying to counter with "BUTWHATABOUTISRAEL".
Don't complain they deserve it because they support terrorism in Israel when we're talking about the USA.

>You're the retarded plebbitor that can't figure out how replies work.
Nah, I understand how replies work. You clearly don't.

>Yeah like Abrego Garcia?
No. Abrego was here illegally.

>why don't you give me a specific example
I did. Haitians. Venezuelans too. And Afghans and Cameroonians.

>Such as?
You seem to be illiterate.

>And nobody cares about those "refugees" (translation: illegals and terrorist-supporting visa holders) getting kicked out except for anti-American faggots like you (i.e. the average democrat).
You're literally engaging in whataboutism.

>>1408577
>Wow, you did an even stupider thing than I was expecting you to do. Bravo. You are impressively dumb. Just fucking phenomenal.
As of May 2025, most recent data I can find, the population is 5.5 million. But I'm sorry, you were trying to make some kind of a point? Something blah blah genocide bitching that we've heard a million times now and that's why we need to support and take in terrorists?

>Don't complain they deserve it because they support terrorism in Israel when we're talking about the USA.
Bitch you're the one who brought up Israel first you fucking retard. You want to keep this about "latin americans and hatians" then quit bringing Jews up.

>I did. Haitians. Venezuelans too. And Afghans and Cameroonians.
I mean specifically, you fucking monkey. Give me a name and I'll look it up right now.

>You seem to be illiterate.
From the dumb faggot who can't read "Palestinians" no matter how many times I spell it out.

>You're literally engaging in whataboutism.
I'm sorry, can you provide an actual example that doesn't fall into either of those categories?

Go ahead I'll wait.

>>1408578
>As of May 2025, most recent data I can find, the population is 5.5 million
The population of Gaza is not 5.5 million.

>Bitch you're the one who brought up Israel first you fucking retard
No. You did.
>>1408558
>those terrorist supporting cocksuckers
Or did this reference have nothing to do with the shit going on in Israel and I'm mistaken?

>I mean specifically, you fucking monkey.
Yes, specifically Trump has stripped legal status for every refugee from those 4 countries. I'm sorry you have brain damage.

>From the dumb faggot who can't read "Palestinians" no matter how many times I spell it out.
Yeah, by the way why do you keep spelling out Palestinian anyway? I never claimed Israel was genociding Palestinians. I just called them genocidal. The genocide his happening in Gaza. They're genociding Gazans. I literally never brought up Palestinians. That's some more whataboutism.

>I'm sorry, can you provide an actual example that doesn't fall into either of those categories?
Yes. All Haitian, Venezuelan, Afghan, and Cameroonian refugees. Trump ended TPS for them. Seriously, what the actual fuck is wrong with your brain?

>>1408579
>>I mean specifically, you fucking monkey.
>Yes, specifically Trump has stripped legal status for every refugee from those 4 countries. I'm sorry you have brain damage.

GIVE ME A FUCKING NAME YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF SHIT

Don't reply back to me until you do.

>>1408580
>GIVE ME A FUCKING NAME YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF SHIT
Everyone, you illiterate gibbon. He ended the program for all of them. This was not a targeted decision. This isn't fucking difficult.

I don't know how many times I have to fucking say it. You want a name? Pick one. It's all of them.

God damn.

>>1408582
So of course you couldn't give a specific name. Gotcha. I mean, if I was you spewing bullshit and got challenged I wouldn't go into specifics either. It sure would suck for me to cry about how X person is legal only for someone to dig and find out that X person is actually an illegal piece of shit.

So since you want to keep everything all vague I'll do the same with you:
>Haitian
They all came here illegally.
>Venezuelan
They all came here illegally, claiming asylum because they all fucking do.
>Afghan
Why are we taking in Middle Eastern people and not places like Saudi Arabia or Egypt? We're not responsible for them anymore than we are for Haitians.
>b-but biden promised
Yeah Biden fucked up a lot of things with Afghanistan. Don't get me started.
>Cameroonian
Again, why are we taking them in? How are they getting here? Send them to another African country - surely there has to be ONE they're not fleeing persecution from.

There. Done. GGEZ.

>>1408584
>They all came here illegally, claiming asylum
NTA, you have brain damage
asylum seekers came here legally by definition
whining about it doesn't change anything

>>1408596
>enter the country illegally

>See! They're here legally after all! You have to take them in!
lol stay mad that Trump is tearing down your bullshit loophole.

>>1408598
I must have missed the news where the republicunt lead government is changing asylum law
lmao they aren't, but you're falling for their performative bullshit and getting angry at established law
Trump Always Chickens Out. There isn't going to be any immigration changes during his term and you'll just keep coping about it

>>1408598
You do realize how the asylum process is supposed to work is:
>You enter the country (Doesn't matter how)
>You go to a police station/court/some place of official authority
>You tell them you are filing for asylum
>They process your asylum claim
>You attend court meetings to determine your asylum claim
>Only if it is rejected are you supposed to be removed in that scenario

>>1408601
>>You enter the country (Doesn't matter how)
Stopped reading right there. It's these cocksuckers that Trump is booting out. The same cocksuckers you're sperging over because it threatens that "pathway to citizenship" dems want to give illegals in exchange for votes. QQ harder.

>>1408602
Yeah that doesn't change the fact even someone who jumped the border can still legally apply for asylum just like everyone else. Mald all you want, it'll still be true and not even Trump can change it.

>>1408603
>and not even Trump can change it.
Hey has anyone seen that Garcia guy lately? Whatever happened to him? I swear he was in the news a few weeks ago...

>>1408604
You mean that case where Trump is now constantly backpedaling to allege he was a gang member? The one that multiple courts have proven to be illegal and are now halting further deportations and attempting to force the admin to bring him back? The one that'll probably get Trump impeached for a third time should Dems retake majority? That one?

Bringing up a case where Trump is openly defying the law and judicial systems isn't a good look for "It's totally legal, trust me". Hell the only reason he got away with that is because he had the guy vanished before the court could tell him he couldn't.

>>1408605
>You mean that case where Trump is now constantly backpedaling to allege he was a gang member?
And a wife beater. Don't forget that part. I can see why dems are so pissed he's gone.
>The one that multiple courts have proven to be illegal and are now halting further deportations and attempting to force the admin to bring him back?
And how's that working out?
>The one that'll probably get Trump impeached for a third time should Dems retake majority?
Oh no, because dems didn't try every underhanded bullshit tactic to get him in jail - and it still didn't work? it's a good thing Biden did all those blanket pardons, setting the precedent for Trump when he does the same for himself and his family.

>Bringing up a case where Trump is openly defying the law and judicial systems isn't a good look for "It's totally legal, trust me".
Me personally I could give a fuck at this point. You subhuman democrats have abused the system for far too long, used every loophole and cheap trick you could to import millions of these fuckers into MY country, and got too many good Americans killed. At this point I don't care what Trump does, as long as he gets results... and looking at the drastic decrease in illegals coming here compared to Biden, I'd say he's doing a damn good job of it - not to mention the DEA and ICE teaming up to go HAM on cartels within the country all over the place. If he has to bend a few rules to give us at least four years of peace at the border then I got what I voted for.

>>1408607
>import millions of these fuckers into MY country
>all those Indians with H1B visas. Trump agrees, don't bother him about it
So they're fine, then?

>>1408608
As long as they don't start supporting Hamas, sure.

I know it's a real fucking challenge to enter a country and then not demonstrate how much you hate it.

>>1408607
schizo headcannon

>>1408607
Yeah so even you admit Trump is breaking the law, and the irony is he isn't even meeting his own quotas. Trying to appeal on the grounds of "hey Trump's already violating the law" isn't very strong grounds hilariously enough.

It'll be very fun to watch you have a meltdown when the courts stop him dead. Again.

>>1408611
>and the irony is he isn't even meeting his own quotas.
>95% reduction in illegal crossings
But please keep gloating that Trump isn't doing enough to combat immigration.

>>1408613

Can you not read the article this fucking thread was started on?

But please, keep defying the courts. Can't wait for the SC to finally get fed up with him.

>>1408611
These are retards who don't ever see the illegal immigrants that their masters talk about, they just believe they exist on faith and trust known liars talking about how they're being 'taken care of'

>>1408616
Gee I wonder why there's less arrests at the border. Maybe has something to do with that 95% decrease in crossings? Therefore more arrests of these fuckers already inside.

But please, keep pretending that Trump isn't doing anything about illegal immigration in this country. It's not the most retarded thing you've ever said, but it's pretty close.

>>1408619
No immigration provisions in his 'big beautiful bill'
No Republicunt lead changes to immigration law
He's really not doing anything except deporting legal immigrants to fool gullible retards like you who hate brown people

>>1408622
>No immigration provisions in his 'big beautiful bill'
He already fixed the crisis at the border by reducing illegal border crossings by 95%
>No Republicunt lead changes to immigration law

What breaks my mind is Tom Homan was appointed by Obama.
That invalidates Trump's first campaign slogan of 'Build the wall'.
If things were so dire in 2016, why would Trump promote an Obama appointment?

Trump & his boys are upset that reality doesn't care about their feelings

>>1408636
>why would Trump promote an Obama appointment?
Maybe not everyone is a partisan shit bag like you seem to think they are. Who appointed you someone doesn't dictate their ideology.

This is a stupid argument. All of the "x was appointed by y so they are a political stooge" is such a tiring argument, the left and the right overuse it so much

>>1408644
>the left and the right overuse it so much
BSAB
Predictable shill response

>>1408644
After considering my post a little while, I realize that Obama was pretty normal for his illegal immigration policy. Sure, it wasn't ideal, but it wasn't bad. It wasn't until the lead up to the 2016 election that mainstream Democrat candidates started advocating for illegal aliens receiving public benefits. And while Biden was too old to really advocate for anything himself, his handlers demonstrably opened up the border during his term and led in a flood of illegals

>>1408645

But you gotta remember, even though Trump accepted an outright bribe and it wasn't even a good one, the local schizo had the voices in their head claim a democrat once talked about an asylum seeker receiving benefits once, and those schizo delusions have to be taken as seriously as the totally real white genocide going on in south africa.

>>1408656

Man, imagine being told multiple times that you're breaking the rules and still coming in and shitting up the place.
Then imagine being the retarded faggot who keeps evading those bans just to make shitty, easily disproved arguments about how much you hate people legally in the country.
Maybe that dumb shill should stop being a hypocrite and self deport themselves to show they actually mean the shillslop they're paid to post

>>1408695
You should stand on the side of a highway with a big posterboard sign that says "YoUR'e bReAkInG tHE rULeS!!11" for all the speeding cars, which is a higher misdemeanor than crossing the border illegally.

>>1408697
>all the speeding cars, which is a higher misdemeanor than crossing the border illegally
It's not tho. In most cases it's not even a crime if it's less than 10mph over, it's a traffic citation. When it is a crime, it's generally a city or state misdemeanor.
Crossing the border illegally is a federal misdemeanor crime.

>>1408705
>a federal misdemeanor crime.
and not even that if they claim asylum.
Republicans are fine with that, you can tell by the way they refuse to change it despite being in charge of the whole government.
You'd be confused if you talked with them though, since they're complaining like its a major problem.
But again, we know it isn't because they aren't doing anything to actually fix the problem despite being able to solve it within 24 hours whenever they wanted
