This is how a real president does his job.
President Donald J. Trump is once again proving why strong leadership matters—especially when it comes to protecting our borders and keeping American communities safe. New numbers from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reveal a dramatic surge in enforcement under Trump, particularly in sanctuary cities like New York.
🚨 Trump’s DHS Cracks Down: 400% More ICE Detainers Than Biden
Since returning to office in January, Trump’s DHS has issued a stunning 6,025 detainer requests to hold illegal immigrants in New York City alone—compared to just 9,472 during all four years of Joe Biden’s presidency.
That’s a 400% increase in enforcement, and a powerful reminder that Trump’s immigration policy is about protecting American lives—not pandering to the far-left.
“When sanctuary politicians ignore ICE, they’re not protecting immigrants—they’re protecting criminals,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “These are rapists, murderers, and traffickers—released right back into our neighborhoods.”
⚠️ Sanctuary City Policies Putting Americans at Risk
Despite thousands of detainer requests, New York City has refused to cooperate, honoring only a small handful. Instead, violent illegal immigrants—many with prior convictions for rape, assault, and drug trafficking—are being let go, often with tragic consequences.
Just this week, two criminal illegal aliens who were released under Biden-era border policies shot and nearly killed an off-duty Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer.
One of the suspects, Dominican national Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, had been caught and released by Border Patrol in 2023 under the Biden administration. He was set free into the U.S.—and later pulled the trigger in a nearly deadly attack.
📈 Assaults on ICE Agents Skyrocket 830% Under Trump’s Push
As ICE ramps up deportations and enforcement, agents are facing growing danger on the job. DHS reports an 830% increase in assaults on immigration officers since Trump’s return to office—a disturbing trend blamed on anti-ICE rhetoric from far-left politicians.
Some Democrat leaders have even compared ICE officers to “Nazis,” fueling hostility while illegal immigrants with violent records walk free thanks to sanctuary city protections.
🏙️ New York City Crime Soars Amid Migrant Crisis
The crime wave in NYC is getting worse. According to a recent Fox News Digital investigation, 3,219 migrants living in 48 city-run shelters were arrested 4,884 times from January 2023 to October 2024.
These arrests include charges for:
- Grand larceny
- Drug trafficking
- Assault
- Sexual violence
This is what happens when leftist leaders like Mayor Eric Adams put open-border ideology ahead of public safety.
“I just carry out the rules,” Adams said at a press conference—dodging responsibility for sanctuary policies that are putting Americans in harm’s way.
🇺🇸 Trump’s America-First Border Policy Is Working
President Trump’s return is already making a clear difference. The border is tighter. Deportations are rising. And for the first time in years, American lives are being prioritized over illegal criminals.
While Biden’s presidency was marked by chaos, weak enforcement, and a flood of illegal crossings, Trump is restoring law and order—one ICE detainer at a time.
🔒 The Bottom Line
Illegal immigration is not just a policy issue—it’s a public safety emergency.
Trump is stepping up. Biden let America down.
