New York Scraps Pre-Paid Debit Cards for Migrants
New York City Hall has announced the termination of its prepaid debit card program for migrants.

The program, in place since March, provided debit cards to migrants in city-funded hotels to help cover basic needs but was heavily criticized by conservatives and has been scrapped by New York City officials just two days after Republican Donald Trump was confirmed as president-elect.

The initiative was launched as a temporary support mechanism, part of a one-year pilot program, to help migrants by providing them with limited financial assistance for essentials like food and baby clothing.

So far, more than $3 million has been spent on the program, helping almost 3,000 migrant families living in hotels with limited resources to buy essential supplies. The cards provided about $350 for a family of four… (Continue to full article)

‘Operation Wetback’: What Happened Last Time US Conducted Mass Deportations
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to carry out the largest deportation project in American history, using the military and local law enforcement to do it, in a move that could echo the last major effort to remove migrants en masse in the 1950s.

Dubbed “Operation Wetback”, hundreds of thousands of mostly Mexican undocumented immigrants were forcibly removed or self-deported during President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s term.

The program’s name was derogatory even at the time, referring to migrants who crossed illegally into the United States by crossing rivers along the southwest border. Historians say racial profiling and large-scale roundups were common, and some U.S. citizens were caught up in the sweeps… (Continue to full article)

Trump signals use of military for deportations
President-elect Trump recirculated a social media post Monday suggesting his incoming administration will declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation pledge, labeling the claim “TRUE!!!”

“President Trump will marshal every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals, drug dealers, and human traffickers in American history while simultaneously lowering costs for families,” said press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail, like deporting migrant criminals and restoring our economic greatness. He will deliver.”
Immigration advocates are bracing for swift executive action on immigration from the incoming administration… (Continue to full article)

Trump using military will help drive migrant numbers at border ‘down into the dirt’
Former senior Trump administration official Ken Cuccinelli said Monday that President-elect Trump “using the military” will help drive migrant numbers at the border “down into the dirt.”

Cuccinelli told NewsNation’s Blake Burman in an interview on “The Hill” that he believes early next year, “you will see our military used between legal ports of entry, especially on the southern border, to finally gain control of that border” adding that “all immigration, all passage of any kind, will pass through legal ports of entry only.” (Continue to full article)

Tren De Aragua Gang Terrorizes American Cities
Biden’s border policies are disastrous for communities nationwide, including cities that are nowhere near United States borders. There have been at least 10.8 million encounters with illegal aliens nationwide since the start of Fiscal Year 2021 (FY2021), according to Rep. Mark Green’s September “Startling Stats” report on the border crisis. The same report indicates that 2 million more aliens have entered as “known gotaways.” According to former chief of Border Patrol Raul Ortiz, the total number of gotaways “could be underreported by as much as 20 percent.”

The devastating numbers fail to tell the whole story, however. Embedded in those historic numbers are criminal gangs like Tren de Aragua, whose members have taken root in communities nationwide. Tren de Aragua is terrorizing communities, forcing the Biden administration’s U.S. Treasury to label the gang as a U.S.-designated transnational criminal organization (TCO)… (Continue to full article)
