Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, stated in a briefing that the U.S. will utilize the resources of multiple federal departments to support President Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation program. “I can promise you that the full might of the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, and every element and instrument of national power will be used to remove with speed all criminal illegals from the soil of the United States of America, to enforce final removal orders, and to ensure that this country is for American citizens and those that legally belong in this country,” he vowed.
Miller confirmed the administration is committed to removing all criminal illegal immigrants from the United States, enforcing removal orders, and maintaining the integrity of American citizenship.
Miller outlined actions taken early in Trump’s presidency, referencing challenges inherited from the Biden-Harris government, such as a non-operational U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) previously focused on resettling illegal immigrants instead of removing them. “In 30 days, the president sealed the border shut, declared the cartels to be terrorist organizations, has increased ICE deportations to levels not seen in decades, and we are shortly on the verge of achieving a pace and speed of deportations this country has never before seen,” he stressed.
In just the first 18 days of the administration, approximately 11,000 illegal immigrants were deported. Plans are in place to expand detention facilities, with the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba already receiving illegals and ramping up to accommodate up to 30,000 detainees.
The administration reports a sharp decrease in illegal border crossings. Since January 20, apprehensions at ports of entry have reportedly dropped by 93 percent.
