Quick Hit:

An ICE raid in Aurora, Colorado, confirms the presence of the Tren de Aragua gang—despite repeated denials from Democrats and their media allies. The operation comes just months after Governor Jared Polis dismissed concerns as unfounded.

Key Details:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 100 suspected Tren de Aragua gang members in Aurora, Colorado, during a predawn raid.
The operation contradicts previous claims from Democratic officials, including Colorado Governor Jared Polis, who downplayed the gang’s presence.
The raid follows years of border security failures under President Biden, with President Trump’s renewed crackdown already showing results.

Diving Deeper:

For months, Democrats and their media allies insisted that Tren de Aragua was a myth, dismissing concerns as right-wing fearmongering. But as the New York Post Editorial Board pointed out, “Immigration and Customs Enforcement and a cross-section of federal law enforcement agencies just went after a full 100 Tren gangbangers in the Denver suburb, nabbing suspects in predawn raids.”

This comes just five months after Colorado Governor Jared Polis suggested fears over Tren de Aragua were baseless. Despite videos and reports showing otherwise, officials and the mainstream press denied the gang’s existence, parroting the Biden administration’s claims of a secure border.

The Post’s editorial board slammed the media’s complicity, writing, “A compliant media echoed that lie loud and long, even as gangbangers and traffickers, dealers and pimps crossed the border and began to ply their ugly trades stateside.” The reality of unchecked illegal immigration has repeatedly vindicated Americans who raised concerns, only to be dismissed as alarmists.

Meanwhile, President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have insisted that little could be done to address the border crisis. But as the Post notes, “President Trump’s border crackdown is already producing results, after years of Biden and his border henchman-in-chief Alejandro Mayorkas pretending nothing at all could be done to stem the tide or send the millions home.”

The raid underscores the failures of Biden’s open-border policies and the deception used to cover them up. The Post editorial board summed it up succinctly: “Much of what makes federal action on the border catastrophe—raids on gang beachheads, funding cutoffs to sanctuary cities and so on—seem so dramatic is that it’s all about waking up from fake ‘reality’ painted by the big lies of the Biden years.”

While Democrats focused on pushing DEI initiatives and taxpayer-funded media subscriptions, criminal gangs like Tren de Aragua were entrenching themselves in American communities. The latest ICE raid shatters the illusion that the border crisis is a manufactured issue—something the American people have known all along.

“The Invasion of our Country is OVER”: Trump reports lowest illegal crossings in history

Published on March 2, 2025

Quick Hit:

President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that illegal immigrant apprehensions at the southern border plummeted to just 8,326 in February—marking a historic low. In a Truth Social post, Trump declared, “The Invasion of our Country is OVER,” crediting his administration’s tough enforcement measures for the drastic reduction.

Key Details:

The figure represents a staggering 96% drop from December 2023, when illegal crossings under Joe Biden’s administration peaked at 301,981.
Trump emphasized that those caught illegally entering the U.S. were “quickly ejected from our Nation or, when necessary, prosecuted for crimes against the United States of America.”
Trump credited executive action, including an emergency border declaration, military deployments, the end of birthright citizenship, and a crackdown on sanctuary cities, for the sharp decline in illegal entries.

Diving Deeper:

President Trump’s first full month back in office saw a seismic shift in border security policy, leading to what he called “the lowest number of illegal border crossings in decades.” In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump highlighted the stark contrast between his administration and Biden’s, stating:

“This means that very few people came – The Invasion of our Country is OVER. In comparison, under Joe Biden, there were 300,000 Illegals crossing in one month, and virtually ALL of them were released into our Country. Thanks to the Trump Administration Policies, the Border is CLOSED to all Illegal Immigrants.”

Upon taking office, Trump signed multiple executive orders that significantly curtailed illegal immigration. These include reinstating policies that allow expedited removals, deploying U.S. troops to the southern border, resuming construction of the border wall, and ending Biden-era programs that facilitated migrant entry through humanitarian parole. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reversed previous Biden restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to a sharp uptick in interior enforcement.

According to DHS data obtained by Fox News Digital, ICE interior arrests skyrocketed by 137% in just three weeks, with 11,791 arrests recorded from Jan. 20th to Feb. 8th—compared to 4,969 during the same period in 2024. High-profile raids in sanctuary cities have also yielded thousands of arrests, including gang members and violent offenders.

The economic impact of Trump’s border policies is already being felt. Federal funds that had been allocated to house illegal immigrants in hotels, particularly in cities like New York, are being clawed back. A recent executive order directed all federal agencies to identify and cut off taxpayer-funded programs that benefit illegal immigrants.

Despite congressional gridlock preventing any new border legislation, Trump’s administration has relied solely on executive authority to crack down on illegal immigration. His message to potential border crossers remains clear: “Anyone who tries to illegally enter the U.S.A. will face significant criminal penalties and immediate deportation.”
