The administration of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, promoted on Monday the first results of his repression of immigration despite the concerns about due process, showing photos of alleged criminal criminals on the grass of the White House and preparing to attack cities and states that limit cooperation with the federal immigration application.
Trump plans to sign an executive order on Monday that orders senior officials to identify within a month that cities and states do not sufficiently comply with federal immigration laws, said a White House official.
Trump launched an aggressive application campaign after assuming the position, arising troops to the southern border and committing to illegally deporting millions of immigrants in the United States.
The Republican President, who made immigration an important campaign problem in 2024, said the actions were needed after years of high illegal immigration under his predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden.
In a press conference, White House officials promoted a strong decrease in illegal crosses on the border during Trump’s first three months in office, even when concerns about due process of immigrants and American citizens swept the drag network.
The United States border patrol arrested 7,200 migrants who illegally crossed the border in March, the lowest monthly total since 2000 and below a peak of 250,000 in December 2023.
“We have the safest border in the history of this nation and the numbers show it,” Trump Tomp Homan border tsar in the informative session said.
Democrats and civil rights defenders have criticized Trump’s main application tactics, including cases of several American citizen children recently deported with their parents, including one with a rare form of cancer, according to the American union of civil liberties.
Homan blamed parents for putting their children at risk of deportation by remaining in the United States. “If you choose to have an American citizen, knowing that it is in this country illegally, it puts yourself in that position,” he said.
In his first hundred days in office, Trump has moved to strip the legal immigration status of hundreds of thousands of people, which increases the group of those who can be deported.
While immigrants arrests in the US. UU. They have shot illegally, deportations remain below last year under Biden, when there were more people who illegally crossed the border that could be quickly returned.
Deportations decreased in Trump’s first three months in the position of 195,000 last year to 130,000 this year, Reuters reported last week. Homan defended the figures and said it was not fair to compare them with the biden era counts.
The Immigration and Customs Detention facilities (ICE) of the US have been above the capacity, with about 48,000 in custody in early April, beyond the financed level of 41,500.
Homan said that the Texas Fort Bliss military base could be ready “in the very close future” to keep migrant detainees. The Trump administration has already been using the US Naval Base. In the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The photos published in the White House grass presented 100 people accused or convicted of serious crimes, including murder, violation and distribution of fentanyl.
Numerous studies show that immigrants do not commit crimes at a higher rate than native Americans.
Confrontation of the sanctuary
Trump has criticized cities and states that limit cooperation with the application of federal immigration, labeling them “sanctuaries” and blaming them for freeing criminal criminals instead of coordinating their transfer to ICE.
Last week, a federal judge blocked Trump’s administration to retain federal funds of more than a dozen calls sanctuary jurisdictions that have refused to cooperate with the repression of Trump’s hard line immigration.
The executive order planned for Monday, first informed by The Wall Street JournalIt would be based on Trump’s first efforts to press the jurisdictions to cooperate.
“President Trump plans to sign an executive order on Monday, climbing his battle against the states and cities led by Democrat who do not cooperate completely with federal immigration authorities,” said a White House official.
American officials arrested a Wisconsin judge on Friday and accused her of helping a man in his court to briefly evade immigration authorities. The arrest caused a violent reaction of the defenders of the Democrats and the rights of immigrants who expressed concern that immigrant victims do not feel safe in court.
Homan defended the arrest, saying that the administration would comply with the laws that prohibit illegally house a person in the United States.
“You will be prosecuted, judge or not,” he said.
Trump’s schedule requires you to sign executive orders at 5 PM, east standard time (2100 GMT, 1 am PKT). Americans are divided into Trump’s immigration approach, but has an approval index of 45 percent on immigration, better than in other important issues, a Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted in mid -April found.
