This was a unique demand.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking strong action to stop illegal immigration into the United States with a new advertising campaign designed to deter migrants from crossing the border unlawfully.
Under the leadership of President Donald Trump, the focus on securing our borders and enforcing immigration laws has been a top priority. In fact, a recent survey from the New York Times/Ipsos shows that a majority of Americans, 55 percent, support Trump’s aggressive stance on deporting individuals who are in the country illegally. The survey also revealed overwhelming support, with 88 percent of voters backing the deportation of immigrants with criminal backgrounds. Both parties recognize the urgency of reforming our broken immigration system.
During Trump’s administration, border crossings decreased significantly, thanks to strong policies prioritizing border security and the deportation of individuals who entered the country illegally. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem recently announced a bold new initiative to continue this momentum, revealing a multimillion-dollar ad campaign that will run both domestically and internationally. These ads send a clear message: enter the United States unlawfully, and you will face serious consequences.
The ads encourage illegal immigrants already in the U.S. to leave voluntarily or face deportation with no chance of returning. Secretary Noem was firm in her warning, saying, “If you come here and break our laws, we will hunt you down.” Her message aligns with President Trump’s no-tolerance approach to illegal immigration, which has been instrumental in protecting American jobs, communities, and security.
This campaign is a critical part of the ongoing efforts to combat illegal immigration and the flow of drugs into the United States. The Trump administration has been actively working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which detained over 8,200 individuals in just a short period earlier this year.
DHS is making it clear: illegal immigration is not tolerated, and criminals are especially unwelcome. The department is using modern tools like social media and text messages to reach migrants both in the U.S. and abroad, making sure that this message is heard loud and clear. The Trump administration’s commitment to securing the border is unwavering, and efforts to deport individuals who violate the law will continue as a vital part of ensuring the safety and sovereignty of the United States.
