Homan Calls Pope’s Bluff, Highlights HUGE Vatican Walls

After woke Pope Francis whined about the Trump administration’s deportations of illegal alien criminals, lifelong Catholic and new border czar Tom Homan searingly exposed the hypocrisy of a man who lives behind the famed Vatican walls.

Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, and those who live behind massive medieval walls shouldn’t tear down other people’s fences. On Newsmax recently, Homan pulled no punches on the subject of illegal immigration, utterly rejecting the false claim that protecting a nation‘s sovereignty is against Catholic Church doctrine (actually, heads of state have a duty to protect their people and can of course restrict immigration — see Catechism of the Catholic Church 2241). And, as a fellow lifelong Catholic, I applaud Homan for not being bullied by dishonest clerics, either in the Vatican or at home.

Newsmax host Rob Schmitt told Homan, “The Pope this week said that it’s ‘a disgrace’, what we’re now doing with this new government, deporting all of these people … there’s going to be a lot of media searching for the sad stories here, trying to turn public opinion against this operation. What’s your message to the American people, as you guys do this work?”

Switzerland Achieves Highest Deportation Rate In Europe In 2024

Switzerland is excelling at removing immigrants slated for deportation, achieving the highest rate in Europe in 2024 with a 60 percent deportation rate and boosting its own progress by 18 percent over 2023.

In total, Switzerland was able to remove 7,000 asylum seekers in 2024, said Beat Jans, the federal councilor responsible for asylum, while speaking at the WEF.

When asked how Switzerland was so successful at returns, Jans said it was by working better with the cantons, which is the term for federal states of Switzerland, according to Swiss outlet RTS.

Jans said it was a “good development” and praised the work of the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM), which is responsible for obtaining the necessary documents to ensure speedy returns.

88,000 New IRS Agents Might Be Going to the Border

Donald Trump is thinking about firing all those new tens of thousands of IRS employees or sending them to the border to work at keeping illegal foreigners out.

Donald Trump told an audience that on Day 1, he halted hiring any new IRS agents.

“You know they hired or tried to hire 88,000 new workers that go after you, and we’re in the process of developing a plan to either terminate all of them or maybe move them to the border. I think we’re going to move them to the border. Well, they are allowed to carry guns, you know, so strong on guns. But these people are allowed to carry guns, so we’ll probably move them to the border.”

Former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is the new Secretary of Homeland Security and might have 88,000 new employees to keep invaders out of the country.

Another Hoax Blows Up! Democrat Gov Pritzker, Fake News Media Falsely Claim ICE Agents Raided Chicago Elementary School – Here’s What Really Happened

Another day, another hoax.

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) falsely claimed that ICE agents visited a South Side school on Friday to smear the Trump Administration as it carried out immigration raids in Chicago this week.

It wasn’t ICE. Secret Service agents were investigating a threat at the school.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) spread the lie that ICE agents raided an elementary school in Chicago on Friday.

“After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school,” Pritzker said.

“Targeting children and separating families is cruel and un-American,” he said.

The Chicago Tribune spread the hoax as well.

Mexico refuses to accept US deportation flight as Trump’s immigration overhaul gets into full swing

Mexico refused to allow a plane carrying illegal migrants to land in the country on Thursday after President Trump dramatically beefed up security at the border and ordered mass raids and deportations since reclaiming the White House, according to military officials.

The deportation flight was blocked from leaving the US after two Air Force C-17 flights, each carrying about 80 deportees to Guatemala, successfully took off Thursday night, NBC reported, citing two defense officials and a third person familiar with the situation.

It was not immediately clear why Mexico blocked the plane, but tensions have flared between Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum since he threatened to slap 25% tariffs on Mexican goods in response to migrants illegally crossing the border.

Mississippi bill would pay bounty hunters to catch undocumented immigrants

A Mississippi district attorney proposed new legislation Wednesday to pay bounty hunters a reward for helping to deport immigrants in the country illegally.

DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton announced his support for House Bill 1484, authored by state Rep. Justin Keen (R), which would create the Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program.

“We’ve seen firsthand the danger posed by bad actors and violent criminals who enter this country illegally, like the innocent life of Laken Riley,” Keen said in a statement. 

“President Trump’s administration has made it clear that deporting illegal immigrants is a priority, and we are proud to do our part here in Mississippi to help support his agenda and protect our citizens.”

Keen and Barton suggested offering a $1,000 reward to registered bounty hunters for each successful deportation they help facilitate, which would be funded by the general assembly and administered by the state treasurer, according to a press release from his office.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey Changes Her Mind About Deporting Criminal Illegals When Things Get Real

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is one of the Democrats who has vowed to defy Trump’s plans to deport illegal immigrants.

Back in November, Healey said she would use her executive power to ‘protect’ residents of the state, even if they are illegals.

Now that ICE has begun picking up criminal illegals in the city of Boston, she is singing a different tune.

What changed?

From WCVB News in Boston:

Gov. Healey on recent Massachusetts immigration arrests: ‘I support the apprehension of criminals’

Federal immigration agents were seen Wednesday taking a man into custody in Chelsea, Massachusetts, as well as making other arrests in East Boston.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey addressed the arrests, saying she wouldn’t be quick to call them “raids.”

“I wouldn’t describe them as raids,” Healey said.”What it seems to be, and what we expected and what I support, which is the apprehension of criminals in our communities.”

Healey said she supports arresting criminals — whether they are undocumented or not.

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell is pushing back after President Donald Trump promised a crackdown on immigration.

It’s likely that when Healey was blowing hot air about standing up to Trump, that’s all it was. Air. It was Democrat virtue-signaling.

Trump orders Border Patrol to immediately stop setting illegal migrants free in the US: ‘Catch and release is ended’

Goodbye catch-and-release, hello catch-and-deport.

Migrants who are caught illegally crossing the US border will no longer be set free in the US while they await their immigration hearings. Instead, they’ll be taken into custody until they can be deported, Homeland Security sources told The Post.

Border Patrol agents were given the edict by the Trump administration on President Trump’s first full day in office Tuesday. It represents a seismic shift from the “catch-and-release” open border days of the Biden administration, during which around 8 million illegal immigrants flooded into the country.

Under the new orders, illegal migrants stopped at the border can only be released with the approval of from the Department of Homeland Security headquarters in Washington.

Under Biden, migrants often waltzed across the border with no fear of being turned back — emboldened by early signals by the administration that America’s borders were open.

Illinois and Chicago Defy Federal Deportation and Reject Effort by Alderman Raymond Lopez to Assist

Recent reporting has suggested that mass deportations at the hands of the new Trump Administration have had to be reconfigured.

In a Washington Post article from January 19, it was intimated that the Trump administration was reconsidering their plans because of a leak.

In the article incoming border czar Tom Homan was quoted, “We’re looking at this leak and will make a decision based on this leak.” Homan went on to say, “It’s unfortunate because anyone leaking law enforcement operations puts officers at great risk.”

Tom Homan addresses the latest plan for deportations on Fox News.

Chicago and its sanctuary city status has been a focus of the incoming Trump Organization’s targeted deportation plan. While an operational plan leak may be hindering the administration’s efforts, it certainly will not be the only obstacle the Federal government will encounter in those efforts to round up illegal immigrants.

Illinois has been passing state laws in the last few years that not only protect illegal immigrants but help them avoid detection altogether. This month HB 5164 passed both houses of Illinois Congress and is now awaiting signature from Governor J.B. Pritzker.

The bill addresses “resident” name change. It lowers the residency requirement from six months to three and allows petitioners to keep these name change documents from becoming public in the case that it can cause hardship or harm.

The petitioners would also be able to keep address information from becoming public. The bill would be applicable to criminal offenders as well.

This bill follows a pattern for the Illinois legislature as it pertains to illegal immigrants. Illinois has also passed HB3882 in 2023 allowing illegals to obtain a “standard identification card” replacing the former classification of “non-compliant identification card.” Illinois further muddied the waters of identifying illegals in this bill by changing definitions. Now, a “limited term REAL ID compliant identification card,” can be obtained by asylum seekers and refugees.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Claims When He Complained About Illegals to Biden Admin, He Was Told to ‘Be a Good Democrat’

New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently sat for an interview with Tucker Carlson and made some revealing statements.

Adams suggests that he believes he was targeted for investigation for speaking out about the border crisis and the problems it created for New York City.

He says that he had more than one meeting with Biden administration officials, including Joe Biden himself, and that after voicing his concerns, he was told by at least one person that he should ‘be a good Democrat.’

It just goes to show how little the Biden administration cared about this issue.

The Daily Mail has more details:

Tucker Carlson stunned as NYC mayor Eric Adams reveals the outrageous five-word warning Biden gave him

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Joe Biden’s shocking response to his demands that the White House do something about the migrant crisis was to keep quite and ‘be a good Democrat, Eric.’

The embattled ‘sanctuary city’ mayor claimed Biden’s reaction to the crisis that has wrecked havoc on his city was just one of many reasons the Democrat Party ‘left me and it left working class people’ in an interview with Tucker Carlson.

Adams, who was indicted by Biden’s Justice Department in September on bribery, wire fraud and conspiracy charges, as well as for allegedly soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, spoke of his frustration with how the saga unfolded.

‘We have Venezuelan gang leaders that were coming to the city creating crimes,’ Adams said, which led to his asking Biden for help the condescending answer he received.
