Trump Administration Begins Deportation Flights in Message of Zero Tolerance

The temporary migrant worker visa program is Not be changed that I'm aware.

 

Trump is trying to reduce the burden unfairly placed on the US and US taxpayers.  US needs to reduce spending, you can't allow excessive migration for many years and all the services and money spent to support those programs to continue without a balance.

The temporary migrant worker visa has minimum wage requirements and working conditions imposed by the Department of Labor.

 

Farmers want the cheapest labor possible, so they can make a profit or even survive as a going concern. Illegals enable that.

 

Farmers will either push up prices to keep going, or quit. Either way, the product on a supermarket shelf gets more expensive.

 

I have no issue with the US deporting bad guys, but it seems to me America is shooting itself in the foot if it exports illegals who just want to work, and send money back home.

It would get higher ratings than the apprentice did!! Truly a money $$ maker and even the snowflakes would watch in secret. 
 

as a side note they better not be serving any meals in these flights!!! Even paid customers from Boston to LA ( six hours ) get nothing on commercial airlines.

Such citizen deportations have happened before but with a historic mass deportation of many millions as Trump promises, they will happen a lot more.

Similar to what happened in Germany but this time is Muslims who are being deported. 

What a shift and we all know who controls the USA.

How would they deport US citizens? did that happen when Obama deported over 5.3 million?

Oh of course he will not tarnish Obama the saint's name.  80% of Dems still don't know he was the deporter in chief for years.

As they will tend to not be maga white people, don't expect the maga movement to care about that.

 

All US citizens have a 9 digit social security number, which they need for almost everything in the US, like getting a drivers license, a bank account, a job, a passport etc. All they have to do is run the number!

It's amazing how many posters think Trump will deport " millions" in a short time.  It's absolutely impossible and YOU MUST get off  MSN/CNN and the like and stop gaslighting constantly. It's really getting boring to hear the same complete FAKE NEWS!

This is GREAT NEWS!

This will help the price of eggs and the general cost of living go down, right?

Right?

 

Anyone?  Anyone?

The White House announced that deportation flights have officially commenced as part of the Trump administration’s strategy to address illegal immigration. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated on Friday that "deportation flights have begun," releasing images of individuals boarding military aircraft. "President Trump is sending a strong and clear message to the entire world: if you illegally enter the United States of America, you will face severe consequences," Leavitt emphasized.  

 

 

Data obtained by Fox News Digital reveals that, over a 33-hour period from midnight on January 21 to 9 a.m. on January 22, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations arrested over 460 individuals. Those detained included people with criminal records involving offenses such as sexual assault, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, drug and weapon violations, resisting arrest, and domestic violence.  

 

The arrests included nationals from a wide range of countries, including Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal, and Venezuela. In one notable operation, ICE agents detained several individuals at a fish market in Newark, New Jersey.  

 

The Newark operation has drawn sharp criticism from local officials, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. Baraka described the raid as an "egregious act" and a violation of constitutional rights, asserting that agents conducted the operation "without producing a warrant." He highlighted the case of one detainee, a U.S. military veteran, who allegedly "suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned."  

 

"This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees ‘the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,’" Baraka wrote in a statement. He added, "Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized."  

 

The mayor reaffirmed his commitment to protecting civil and human rights in the face of federal immigration enforcement actions. "I am ready and willing to defend and protect civil and human rights," Baraka said, underscoring Newark’s position as a city that stands against what he views as unlawful and heavy-handed tactics.  

 

The deportation flights and accompanying arrests mark a decisive step in the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce immigration laws and crack down on unauthorized entry. However, the actions have sparked heated debate, with critics pointing to concerns over constitutional violations and the treatment of those caught in enforcement operations.

My American friend has a good idea. Build a holding compound with tent accommodation the border in Arizona. No air-conditioning water and 1 cheap basic meal a day. Put a one-way gate in the wall. They can leave at their leisure.

[Patong2021]

The people being deported were already on the deportation list back to their country of nationality. They consist of;

- Denied refugee status already detained because of flight risk or criminal record

- Convicted criminals already in custody

 

No one innocent of at risk of mistaken identity is currently being deported.

Let the USA  remove the people a;ready under order of deportation and who present a danger to society. This will take a year or more. They are not the people working in the fields or the hospitality business.

Proving you are US citizen is very simple!

Only if you are given the opportunity.

 

If those who take you into custody won't listen, and you are not given access to a lawyer, it is not so simple.

 

As the OP tells, a military veteran was not listened to.

Sort of sums it up really - a fat, hyper, white man, dressed up for combat, (albeit with a helmet several sizes too small), pointing a weapon at a child in arms.

I don't consider 4 years a short time.  
people think he can deport millions in a few days/ weeks/ months.  It's impossible but they keep saying it and saying it. Just like the word fascist.

[theblether]

I see the usual suspects talking garbage as usual. Do not underestimate the visual power of these flights. Also do not underestimate: 

 

1. The message from deportees saying it's too risky to cross as enforcement is everywhere. People won't pay the smugglers if they think they'll not make it through. 

 

2. The upcoming spike in self-deportation. People will calculate its not worth the aggravation, will sell up and leave. 

 

I see that described as a "conservatives wet dream." No President has enacted so many anti-immigration statutes at the same time. 

 

People self-deport every day. There will be a rush over the next few months, especially by those with assets to lose. 

 

 

[theblether]

As for the utter clown talking about "farmers/profits/working below minimum wage." 

 

The USA abolished slavery 160 years ago. 

 

Dems defending illegal immigration so that little brown people can be abused by nasty capitalist farmers is beyond belief. 

 

Wake up, you morons. 

 

ps - I posted the other day, mechanized crop picking is destroying these jobs already. Within 10 years there will be next to no crop pickers.

That's what Trump claimed and it's been continuously reverberated by the MAGA echo chamber (AN posters included). why blame the MSM? 

 

Having said that, I agree that there is also a dose of hypocrisy from the MSM, as they perfectly know that Trump is a liar!

Great!

Trump made billions on crypto recently but he's totally not corrupt like Biden Krime Family, so I'm sure he's going to be paying for the flight.

Because otherwise hard working American taxpayers are going to have to pay.

How is that going to make us "richer"?

Every hour that plane flys it costs us $32,000.

Please explain.

Be specific. 😀

 

The C-17 Globemaster III, a military cargo aircraft, has significant operating costs due to its size and complexity. Estimates for fuel, maintenance, and labor costs per flight hour vary but generally fall within this range:

 

1. Fuel Costs

The C-17 consumes about 20,000 pounds of fuel per hour, depending on the mission profile.

At current jet fuel prices (approximately $4.50 per gallon as of 2025), the fuel cost alone could range between $15,000 and $20,000 per hour.

 

2. Maintenance Costs

Maintenance costs, including scheduled and unscheduled repairs, are estimated to be around $5,000 to $10,000 per flight hour.

 

 

3. Labor Costs

Crew salaries and support personnel costs add another $1,000 to $2,000 per hour, depending on the size and skill level of the crew.

 

 

Total Estimated Cost Per Hour

Adding these together, the total operational cost per hour for a C-17 flight is approximately $21,000 to $32,000.

Another issue is your misinformation, Melania was in US legally on a B1/B2 visitor visa in 1996 which was converted to an H-1B work visa in the same year.  Stop lying and making up nonsense.

You, in spite of your obvious deluded sense and irrational consensus should be focused on President Trumps America First promise to deport DANGEROUS illegal aliens and not someone who may or may not have worked prior to receiving they work permit some 30 years ago. But, maybe send a request to President Trump to deport Melania if it makes you feel better, soothing your butt-hurt maybe allowing you to come to your senses and forget all your rage and hatred. And, or, maybe just cope with your liberal loss and enjoy the MAGA Trump ride the next 48 months or so.

A Biden administration program was responsible for flying 320,000 migrants directly into the United States between January and December 2023, the costs for that had to be high, plus all the free accommodation, food, free flights within the US, free health care and education, free smart phones, and so much more.  Plus how many rapes, murders and other violent felonies are prevented by deporting the illegal aliens, the unvetted got-aways and the ones with violent criminal histories. Only a moron would welcome violent criminals and dangerous gang members to remain illegally in America and to establish and gain a foothold in their violent criminal endeavors including know criminal gang enterprises such as the [Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan transnational criminal organization involved in various illegal activities, including human smuggling, drug trafficking, and extortion. The gang has expanded its operations into the United States and other countries, posing a significant public safety threat.]

 

Out, all of them NOW.

If they are all deported to their country of origin, they will need a hell alot of planes.
