The Daily Signal covers illegal alien crime with detailed reporting and analysis on law enforcement actions and the effects of illegal immigration on public safety across America.
President Donald Trump has already begun deporting illegal aliens who have been convicted of other crimes, and one South American country has refused to allow a U.S. plane carrying criminal illegal aliens to land, in what Trump says is a violation of its legal obligations. Trump announced tariffs, a travel ban, and sanctions against members…
“Deportation flights have begun,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X Friday morning above two photos of a line of illegal alien men preparing to board a large military plane. “President [Donald] Trump is sending a strong and clear message to the entire world: if you illegally enter the United States of…
The United States is a nation built on the principle of law and order. But today, we face an urgent threat from illegal alien criminal gangs infiltrating our communities and undermining the safety and security we hold dear. The rise of transnational criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua, originally from Venezuela, highlights the chaotic border…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley confronted American Immigration Council senior fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday about how flooding the job market with illegal immigrants benefits Americans. Melnick previously stated in October that mass deportations would be detrimental to many American industries, including hospitality, construction, and agriculture. During a hearing…
President-elect Donald Trump made mass deportations a pillar of his winning campaign platform. Trump and Tom Homan—the former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who Trump tapped to be his border czar—say they will prioritize the deportations of criminal illegal aliens. Whether all of the estimated more than 10 million illegal aliens who…
In June, illegal alien Victor Martinez-Hernandez was charged with the murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five in Maryland. Police in Oklahoma tracked the accused repeat offender down with a sample of his DNA recovered from a Los Angeles home invasion in which a 9-year-old girl and her mother were assaulted. Police say Martinez-Hernandez…
Illegal immigration activists are already panicked that Donald Trump will keep one of his biggest campaign promises. Trump recently announced that Tom Homan will be his “border czar.” Homan isn’t a household name, but he’s had a long career in government. Homan was the acting head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during Trump’s first…
The gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair have begun. Trump-haters in newsrooms are sounding the alarm about the anticipated separation of families under “Operation Aurora,” the mass-deportation of illegal aliens that president-elect Donald Trump promises and which 58% of Americans support, according to an Oct. 16 Marquette University survey. “If Trump gets his way,…
The new Trump administration will declare a state of emergency and use military assets to deport illegal aliens, President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed. “Reports are the incoming [Trump] administration [is] prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Judicial Watch President…
Wearing a plaid, button-down shirt and headphones, Jose Ibarra looked ahead and listened to an interpreter translate from English to Spanish as a friend of Laken Riley's took the witness stand at the illegal alien's trial for her murder. “How would you describe your relationship with Laken?” a prosecuting attorney asked Lilly Steiner on Friday morning in…
THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Democratic governors and other liberal elected officials have lined up to declare that they will fight back against President-elect Donald Trump’s hard-line agenda against illegal immigration. Trump, who won the Nov. 5 election, has promised to conduct mass deportations across the country and withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities, along with…
Two days after the election, a federal court in Texas ruled against President Joe Biden’s latest unauthorized scheme to subvert immigration law: “parole in place” for illegal aliens who are the spouses of U.S. citizens. In a 73-page decision, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas upheld a challenge by 16 states…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Nearly 1 million illegal aliens in the United States have benefited from “quiet amnesty” by the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration court system, according to a report released Thursday. Over 700,000 illegal migrants have had their cases administratively closed, terminated, or dismissed, allowing them to remain in the country “indefinitely” without being subject to…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Tennessee’s top prosecutor said Wednesday that his office uncovered a scheme by the Biden-Harris administration to release a massive number of illegal aliens into the state, but the plan ultimately was derailed. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, attempted to release illegal aliens into Tennessee, but those plans were scrapped…
In the United States today, there are over 660,000 illegal aliens with pending criminal charges for crimes other than just crossing the border illegally. By all law and logic, they should be behind bars. Instead, they are allowed to roam free throughout the country, putting all the risk of their future misbehavior on American communities…
Editor’s note: This commentary originally was published in September 2023. Federal spending is hard enough to keep track of at the best of times, but the Biden-Harris administration is highly adept at hiding how it funds its open-borders agenda. In a cynical budget negotiation tactic, the White House is trying to push through a $40…
At Tuesday night’s debate, former President Donald Trump said his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, supports “transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.” Harris looked on skeptically, suggesting Trump was off his rocker. Yet Harris has indeed supported transgender medical interventions on illegal alien prisoners, and she has not publicly disavowed the claim….
A Venezuelan émigré gang is wreaking havoc in U.S. communities. In El Paso, Texas, the Tren de Aragua gang took over a hotel. And in Aurora, Colorado, members of the same Venezuelan gang have been terrorizing residents in rundown apartment complexes. Tren de Aragua is a “Venezuelan prison gang and … they’ve been wreaking havoc…
In the run-up to November’s election, Vice President Kamala Harris is attempting to rewrite history and absolve herself of her administration’s policy of facilitating mass illegal migration into the U.S. through reckless releases of aliens caught at the border and bogus alien “parole” programs. Against much existing evidence, a new ad her campaign is running…
Nothing illustrates the grave price of the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policy like the preventable crimes that occur with dismaying frequency across the country. At the border, Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has for nearly four years been catching, then almost immediately releasing into the U.S. interior, thousands of young illegal alien men weekly. It…
