Politico Thinks Trump’s ‘Immigration Crackdown’ Has Hit Warp Speed – Twitchy

Donald Trump had campaigned on mass deportation and won the 2024 election handily. It’s what the people voted for, and if they have any complaints, it’s that illegals aren’t being deported more quickly. Of course, activist judges have something to do with that, but when you have four years and more than 10 million illegals let in by the previous administration, it’s going to take some time.

POLITICO seems to think that Trump’s “immigration crackdown” has hit warp speed.

Ali Bianco reports:

It’s been a huge week for President Donald Trump’s [illegal] immigration crackdown.

The Trump administration released a flurry of executive orders and instituted mass arrests across the country that changed the immigration landscape, sometimes in a single day. Thousands of immigrants, through one mechanism or another, have lost the ability to reside legally in the U.S. or have been blocked from getting the chance.

Wow. Thousands.

…

Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported a wave of arrests, with the agency on Wednesday detaining over 2,200 people — which a senior DHS official, who was granted anonymity to disclose the data, said was the largest single-day arrest total in agency history, only to be topped by over 2,300 on Thursday in a cross-country spree.

POLITICO even interviewed our friend from another post, Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, “a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, a pro-[illegal] immigration organization that has opposed much of Trump’s second-term actions.”

Need to reach ludicrous speed.

I question whether this is truly “warp speed.” With 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally, it will take us years to clear the backlog at this rate.

Excellent.

That’s what I voted for

Immigration crackdown requires Mach speed

Warp speed those illegal immigrants right on out of here!

Excellent. Let’s get it done! We are a country of laws. Let’s enforce them. 👍

Not even close. Get them all out.

Good. Turn it up to 11 (eleven)…

Biden’s 10 million unvetted illegal immigration with some 400k having criminal records was twice as fast.

— Henry (@HenryBack2Play) June 7, 2025

Good we need to deport 2 million a year.

Still waaaay behind Obamas impressive 5.3M. Gold star for Barry.

We didn’t hear a word when the “Deporter-in-Chief” was in office, other than from liberals who gave him that nickname.

Fun Fact:

Americans want more

We could only wish the Trump administration were deporting illegals at warp speed. Note that ICE said only that it had detained over 2,200 people in a day, not deported. We want them deported.
