Trump Administration Launches Aggressive Immigration Crackdown

New policies and campaigns, led by Tom Homan and Kristi Noem, emphasize strict border enforcement and mass deportations.

Tom Homan, appointed as the Trump administration's 'border czar,' is tasked with overseeing border security and deportation efforts without requiring Senate confirmation.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced a multimillion-dollar ad campaign urging undocumented immigrants to self-deport or face removal with no possibility of return.
The administration has seen a significant drop in illegal border crossings, with daily encounters falling from over 11,000 under the Biden administration to 229 recently.
ICE has reported a 137% increase in interior arrests under Trump, with arrests of criminal aliens and gang members doubling compared to the previous administration.
Critics highlight the humanitarian concerns tied to such policies, including family separations and the potential return of controversial detention practices.
