Trump’s Deputies Use Medicaid Data to Help ICE Find Migrants

President Donald Trump’s deputies have completed a data-sharing deal to let ICE agents use government Medicaid data while enforcing the nation’s popular immigration laws, according to a report by the Associated Press.

Under a new agreement, “ICE will use the CMS [Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services] data to allow ICE to receive identity and location information on aliens identified by ICE,” the agreement says,” the AP reported Thursday, adding:

The department’s assistant secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, said in an emailed statement that the two agencies “are exploring an initiative to ensure that illegal aliens are not receiving Medicaid benefits that are meant for law-abiding Americans.”

Millions of illegal migrants have shared their identities and addresses to use the taxpayer-funded Medicaid system, often via emergency rooms and state-funded clinics.

The data is not being copied to ICE. Instead, ICE will be allowed to verify identities and addresses during regular work hours.

The information-sharing deal reflects the determination of Trump’s deputies to remove a myriad bureaucratic and regulatory barriers to the enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws.

President Claudia Sheinbaum May Sue ICE over Mexican Farmworker Who Died During Immigration Raid

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is considering legal action against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency after a Mexican farmworker fell to his death during an immigration raid in California.

Jaime Alanís Garcia was hospitalized and ultimately passed away after falling off a roof during an ICE raid in Caramillo, California.

ABC7 wrote:

Federal agents clashed with protesters during the immigration raid at the farm in Ventura County, one of at least two large-scale raids in Southern California on July 10.

Garcia’s family said he fell about 30 feet off a building while he was possibly trying to run from federal agents. Garcia suffered a broken neck and skull.

The tragic situation led Sheinbaum to say that they are considering legal options.

“We are supporting the family, we are in contact with them, and we’re also exploring the possibility of filing a complaint (in the U.S.) because this is unacceptable,” Sheinbaum said during a press conference.

She added, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently reviewing the matter. It is very unfortunate that this happened. All our solidarity and support go to the family, and there must not be another case like this one. That’s why the complaint must be filed in the courts over there.”

Meet the woman working inside Trump’s DOJ – she’s married to a radical leftist who doxxes ICE agents…

We always hear about “Deep State” operatives burrowed inside federal agencies, and anyone paying attention has seen it play out time and time again. But what if one of them isn’t hiding at all? What if they’re sitting right under Trump’s nose, embedded in his DOJ, hiding in plain sight?

The story is a bit convoluted, but let’s start at the beginning with a left-wing group called “ICEBlock.” This is a radical anti-ICE group that openly doxxes federal agents and broadcasts the location of active enforcement teams. But here’s the kicker: the creator of this dangerous, illegal site has a wife, and her name is Carolyn Feinstein, and she works for the US Department of Justice under the Trump administration.

And if that’s not bad enough, the ties get even more clear. It turns out the app is supposedly hosted on servers tied to her husband’s own tech firm. This is raising serious questions about whether a federal insider—Carolyn Feinstein—is helping sabotage law enforcement from deep within the Trump administration.

Are we looking at dangerous, violent corruption unfolding in plain sight?

So, what is ICEblock? As we mentioned above, it’s a doxxing app for ICE agents. It was launched in April 2025 by developer Joshua “Aaron” Feinstein. This app lets users anonymously report ICE sightings to notify others nearby. The irony is that AG Pam Bondi has called out this app for how dangerous it is, yet the wife of the developer is working in her department.

Mexican illegal alien charged after staging fake ‘ICE abduction’ to garner financial donations and sympathy

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges against an illegal alien from Mexico after she purportedly orchestrated a fake kidnapping by federal agents in an attempt to generate sympathy and financial donations.

41-year-old Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, who is now in U.S. immigration custody, is being charged with conspiracy and making false statements to federal officers.

The fabricated “incident” initially garnered media attention after Calderon’s family held a press conference on June 30th, claiming that she had been abducted by ICE “bounty hunters” at gunpoint from a Los Angeles Jack in the Box location.

At the time, the family went on to claim that she was eventually taken to the U.S.-Mexico border and was told to “self deport.” During the press conference, the family’s lawyer argued that she had refused to sign self-deportation paperwork and was thus forcefully taken to a “warehouse at an undisclosed location” with other detainees — until she was willing to sign the paperwork.

The family then set up a fundraising page, requesting $4,500, according to the DOJ.

Despite the family’s claim, the federal agents began looking for Calderon after she reportedly never appeared in official records of having been in immigration custody, according to the DOJ.

However, agents later discovered Calderon at a shopping mall in Bakersfield, California.

“Dangerous rhetoric that ICE agents are ‘kidnapping’ illegal immigrants is being recklessly peddled by politicians and echoed in the media to inflame the public and discredit our courageous federal agents,” stated United States Attorney Bill Essayli.

“The conduct alleged in today’s complaint shows this hoax ‘kidnapping’ was a well-orchestrated conspiracy. The defendant and all those involved will face the full consequences of their conduct under federal law. I thank our partners at Homeland Security Investigations and all federal agents facing unprecedented levels of assaults for once again providing cool heads and professionalism during these difficult times,” he added.

A Justice Department press release revealed that federal authorities obtained video surveillance footage of Calderon leaving the Jack in the Box parking lot and entering into a nearby sedan, “as well as telephone records demonstrate Calderon fabricated the entire story.”

ICE Arrests MS-13 Member and Fentanyl Dealer in Providence, RI – Local Officials Worried That Police May Have Assisted

This week, ICE arrested a man in Providence, Rhode Island who is a member of the MS-13 gang and a known dealer of fentanyl. Sounds like a pretty solid arrest, right?

In an absolutely bizarre turn of events, the Democrat leaders of the city are deeply concerned that local police may have assisted ICE. They’re even suggesting that this will be investigated.

This is absolute madness.

WPRI News in RI reported:

Mayor Brett Smiley characterized the incident as “complex,” but said that the incident remains under review.

“I’m interested in making sure that our community knows that Providence police are there to protect them, that they will not cooperate or sere as immigration agents, and that preliminarily, we believe that policy was followed in that instance, although it certainly was jarring video that I saw,” Smiley said at an unrelated news conference on Tuesday. “But upon closer review and understanding the full context of the circumstance, it feels like… it seems like at the initial outset, that Providence police acted in accordance with our existing policy.”

Miller said she appreciated that there is a review underway, but added that she wanted PERA to examine the incident because they are a third-party in the situation.

See below:

An MS-13 fentanyl trafficker was just arrested in Providence, Rhode Island.

The mayor and city council president are pledging to investigate…

Not the MS-13 problem, but to ensure police didn’t assist ICE in arresting him.

Totally insane. pic.twitter.com/rOT664NaRb

A Democrat lawmaker in the state also criticized ICE for the arrest, calling them the gestapo.

MSNBC Contributor Implies Violence Against ICE Agents is Justified: ‘Lawful Right of Self-Defense’

MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance is a former U.S. Attorney who was appointed by Obama. This week, she appeared on the network and implied that the violence we are seeing against ICE agents is justified.

Her argument is based on the fact that ICE agents are masked, which ignores the fact that these men and women are wearing masks to protect themselves and their families from the unhinged and radical left.

Does everyone remember how the liberal media constantly accused the Tea Party of being potentially violent, even though no violence ever materialized? Compare their rhetoric from back then to this attempt to justify the violence of the left.

Partial transcript via NewsBusters:

ALI VELSHI: Joyce, let me ask you one thing….You’re a prosecutor, I want to ask you, there are legitimate reasons why some enforcement agencies, some police agencies, go undercover or, you know, do things in shadows to achieve certain things. I would assume that’s specific and, you, know, it needs to be, needs to comport with some laws.

JOYCE VANCE: Exactly. There are very serious legal restrictions around the use of, for instance, FBI agents as undercover operatives. Very strict rules regarding how it’s done, what they can do, what they can’t do. But you know what I’ve never seen a federal agent working a case due is pull a mask up so nobody knows who they are and go out and terrorize a civilian population.

And I think it’s important for us at this point to be very plain-speaking when we say that this is not normal, it’s not acceptable, and it’s a danger sign. You know, we are well past the point where we can just identify danger signs and say, oh, there might be problems down the road. The problems are here, they’re in the right now.

And as we see people being pulled off the streets — you know, the danger to law enforcement, quite frankly, is that when you’re masked like that and people don’t know who you are, someone might exercise their lawful right of self-defense to protect themselves, thinking they’re being kidnapped. So the notion that this is for law enforcement’s protection is utterly ludicrous. And we need to do away with that.

Media Lies: Deportation Is Not a Crime—The Truth About ICE Enforcement

Mainstream media coverage of ICE enforcement misrepresents both the law and reality. They conflate detention with imprisonment, status checks with mass arrests, and lawful deportations with constitutional violations, creating a false narrative of authoritarianism. Trump’s enforcement simply applies existing law through legal, intelligence-driven operations that past administrations ignored.

Every person arrested and deported by ICE is in the U.S. illegally, 100% in violation of federal immigration law. These individuals have no legal right to remain in the country. The Trump administration is simply enforcing laws that have been on the books for decades, regardless of whether the person has additional criminal convictions.

ICE operations aren’t random raids, as the media often claims. They’re professional, legally authorized actions driven by data and intelligence. Target lists are built using law enforcement databases, government records, and public tips, with priority given to those with final removal orders, criminal convictions, gang ties, or national security risks.

ICE also uses advanced tools like LexisNexis Accurint, giving over 11,000 agents access to analytics that automate vetting and targeting. The agency is expanding its surveillance capabilities through new tech contracts, modernizing how it tracks and monitors noncitizens.

Mainstream media also distorts the phrase “no criminal convictions,” implying ICE is deporting innocent people. In reality, many of these individuals have pending charges that are dropped without prejudice to expedite deportation. That doesn’t mean they’re innocent. It means the government is choosing the faster, more effective enforcement option.

Many in this category committed crimes but were never prosecuted because past administrations used “prosecutorial discretion” to avoid enforcement, leaving nearly 20 million aliens in the country illegally.

Dropping charges without prejudice allows the Department of Justice to refile charges if the person returns illegally. Instead of wasting time and money on prosecution, the Trump administration prioritizes swift removal, an approach that’s more efficient and just as effective at protecting public safety by removing dangerous individuals from American communities.

ICE Announces that Rep. Salud Carbajal DOXXED ICE employee who was “Left Bloody” by Left-wing Rioters at California Pot Farm – Carbajal Shared Agent’s Business Card with Violent Mob

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has revealed that Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA) was “part of a violent mob of protestors attempting to obstruct federal law enforcement as they executed a criminal search warrant at a marijuana facility” and that he doxxed an ICE agent by handing the individual’s business card to members of the violent group. 

According to ICE, the doxxed agent was also “left bloody” after the mob hurled rocks at agents who were doing their job.

The officers were conducting criminal warrant operations at marijuana farms operated by the Glass House Brands Inc. in Carpinteria and Camarillo when the chaos unfolded.

Carbajal claimed in an X post that ICE agents were “using unnecessarily aggressive and militarized tactics against local farm workers and peaceful protesters.”

Following the operation in Carpinteria, Carbajal posted a video on X, where he goes on a dishonest rant about ICE, calling their job “deplorable.”

He further claimed that he was there to fulfil his “congressional oversight responsibilities,” despite participating in the violent riots.

The Rise Of The Prison State: Trump’s Push For Megaprisons Could Lock Us All Up

“You think we’re arresting people now? You wait till we get the funding to do what we got to do.”—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar

America is rapidly becoming a nation of prisons.

Having figured out how to parlay presidential authority in foreign affairs in order to sidestep the Constitution, President Trump is using his immigration enforcement powers to lock up—and lock down—the nation.

After all, a police state requires a prison state. And no one is cheering louder than the private prison corporations making money hand over fist from Trump’s expansion of federal detention.

Under the guise of national security and public safety, the Trump administration is engineering the largest federal expansion of incarceration and detention powers in U.S. history.

At the center of this campaign is Alligator Alcatraz, a federal detention facility built in the Florida Everglades and hailed by the White House as a model for the future of federal incarceration. But this is more than a new prison—it is the architectural symbol of a carceral state being quietly constructed in plain sight.

With over $170 billion allocated through Trump’s megabill, we are witnessing the creation of a vast, permanent enforcement infrastructure aimed at turning the American police state into a prison state.

The scope of this expansion is staggering.

The bill allocates $45 billion just to expand immigrant detention—a move that will make ICE the best-funded federal law enforcement agency in American history, with more money than the FBI, the DEA, and the Bureau of Prisons combined.

Yet be warned: what begins with ICE rarely ends with ICE.

62-Year-Old Woman Charged for Driving Through Anti-ICE Protesters Who Were Surrounding and Pounding on Her Car in New Jersey

A 62-year-old woman has been charged after driving through a crowd of anti-ICE protesters who surrounded and began pounding on her car in New Jersey.

Linda Roglen, 62, of North Bergen, was driving past the Noches De Colombia on Fairview Avenue in the borough of Fairview when she encountered a group protesting ICE raids on Saturday.

One of the protesters confronted her car, and she sped up, allegedly running over his foot.

The man falls to the ground, Roglen stops, and the protesters swarm her vehicle and begin banging on the windows.

At this point, the car is surrounded, and Roglen slowly drives through. At least one protester can be seen throwing something at her vehicle as she leaves the scene.

The incident was captured on video from multiple angles and shared on social media, where leftists expressed outrage over her actions.
