President Donald Trump is helping make America great again, and one way he is doing this is by making it safe again.
Legacy media and agenda-driven liberals and Democrats have been hypercritical about the president’s deportation policies. It’s the latest sketch in their doomsday productions of how the sky is falling, and Trump is the antichrist — or Nazi, or Hitler, or racist, or whatever other fake outrage terms they decided to use on any given day. Little, if any, of it is accurate, and it’s just hyperpartisan hysteria that only appeals to their base, especially in 2025.
Trump preaches common sense, which is at the crux of his immigration and, specifically, deportation policies. The president knows that if bad people who commit crimes are removed from the country, fewer crimes will be committed. Fewer crimes mean a safer country. It’s a really simple equation. Yet, for whatever reason, Democrats were hesitant to take action and, in many cases, refused to protect citizens from the violent acts committed by illegal immigrants.
Look no further than the results of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since Trump started his second term on Jan. 20. There’s a stark contrast in the agency’s productivity from a year ago when Joe Biden was president. Inexplicably, that administration seemed to have a policy of letting criminal illegal immigrants remain in the country under some misguided and dangerous allegiance to a rogue and radical political philosophy.
According to a Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary, ICE arrests since Trump assumed the presidency have made the country considerably safer. Compared to the same time in 2024, ICE has arrested 99% more illegal immigrants with criminal histories and 156% more fugitive illegal immigrants at large. Additionally, interior arrests have increased 137% compared to this time a year ago, and there have been 59% more illegal immigrants in local jails arrested by the agency.
There have been demonstrations around the country protesting ICE and Trump. And Hollywood elitists have taken to social media with performative antics, expressing dismay over removing the people mentioned in the statistics above. They have tried to link it with inhumane behavior. However, nothing could be further from the truth. The only inhumane thing would be the impotence of the previous administration, which allowed these criminals to fester in our nation’s communities in a stunning display of government inaction.

Yet, while the Biden administration did nothing, innocent Americans suffered — Americans such as Laken Riley, among others. The Trump administration’s efforts to remove criminal illegal immigrants are beneficial to the country. The latest outrage manufactured by liberals and Democrats should be dismissed and ignored.
The country tried doing things the Democratic way. It was a miserable failure. The progress that Trump has made in deporting criminal illegal immigrants in less than a month shows just how incompetent Democrats were.
