There is no question the border is more secure, that immigration courts are functioning quicker and more smoothly, and that ICE is better enforcing the law today than was the case under Biden.

Kudos.

But please, Mr. President — show us the stats.

NEW: Multiple federal sources confirm to @FoxNews that the suspect arrested for using a sledgehammer to behead a WW2 Iwo Jima monument in Quantico, VA on Tuesday is a Mexican illegal alien & former DACA recipient whose legal status expired this year.

Miguel Alonso Maldonado Sorid with felony destruction of property and trespass with intent to damage property.

Per federal sources, Soriano illegally crossed into the U.S. in December 1999. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration in 2014 and had it extended for years, most recently by the Biden admin in 2024, but he lost his DACA status in August of this year when it wasn’t renewed by the Trump administration.

BREAKING: The Social Security Administration confirms to @FoxNews that it has just undertaken its largest cleanup of Social Security Numbers in the agency's 91-year history, correcting nearly 15% of all U.S. citizen SSNs (roughly 50 million out of 330 million). The changes illion dates of death to files that previously didn't have them w/ help from State Dept.
- With help from DHS, updating 25 million files that had missing citizenship information.
- Correcting an additional 8.5 million records with inaccurate citizenship data.

SSNs are referenced by agencies across the federal government and in states to validate identities and prevent improper payment of tax dollars.

Could Ilhan Omar realistically get deported? If so, what must be proven?

Former immigration judge and fellow at @CIS_org, Art Arthur, tells @DeeDeeNews that it all depends on the evidence.

"If the government can prove that she was, in fact, over the age of 18 when her father actually had citizenship to begin with..."

"She would lose her citizenship, and she would go back to having the status of a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident."

🚨New: The U.S. House Judiciary Committee said it found 100+ previously unreported criminal illegal immigrants who benefited from Steve Descano’s “repeated refusal to prosecute."

And from 2023-25, the committee says Fairfax Sheriff Stacey Kincaid declined at least 1,670 ICE detainers. wjla.com/news/local/hou…

NEW: The House Judiciary Committee has just released the results of its investigation into sanctuary policies in Fairfax County, VA via an interim staff report that makes the following conclusions:

- Fairfax County, VA ignored at least 1,670 ICE detainers between 2023-2025, releasing criminal illegal aliens back into the community instead.

-Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano treats illegal alien defendants differently than similarly situated American citizens, and he refused to prosecute or significantly reduced charges for criminal illegal aliens in order to shield them from deportation/immigration consequences.

- The committee says in a preliminary review of more than 1,100 criminal cases, they’ve identified more than 100 previously unreported criminal aliens who benefited from Descano’s prosecutorial choices, which includes Descano’s decision to almost never pursue certain cases against illegal aliens, including DUIs, felony drug possession, felony grand larceny, shoplifting, fraud, trespassing, destruction of property, and assault of a law enforcement officer.

- The committee lists some examples of the criminal aliens they say Descano shielded with his policies in the cases he did prosecute, including an illegal alien charged w/ felony child rape/carnal knowledge of a child who had his charges dropped to misdemeanor “consensual sex with a child” and he was offered a 90 day suspended jail sentence.

- The committee says Descano dropped more than 50 charges against a serial fraudster from China and allowed multiple illegal aliens charged w/ malicious wounding, strangulation, and assault and battery to “escape accountability and reoffend.”

- The committee alleges that Descano misled Congress by telling them one thing during his Congressional testimony, but telling them another in a private letter after that testimony. Per the report, Descano said during his May 2026 testimony before the committee that his policies are meant to shield green card holders/legal immigrants from deportation, but in a subsequent letter to the committee in September 2026, Descano admitted that his policies may also shield illegal immigrants from deportation.

DHS should publish ALL of ICE’s arrest and removal figures and let Americans know how many dangerous aliens immigration officers have arrested, and in particular how many it took directly from some other law enforcement agency’s custody.
