Trump terminates taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants

By Katie Daviscourt | The Post Millennial President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order ending all taxpayer-funded programs for illegal migrants. The order is intended to ensure that taxpayer resources are going toward American citizens and not being used to incentivize or support illegal immigration. To comply with the executive order, federal departments and agencies are required to identify and terminate all federally funded programs that provide financial benefits to illegal immigrants. It also seeks to prevent the use of federal funds to support "sanctuary" policies. To comply with the executive order, federal departments and agencies are required to identify and terminate all federally funded programs that provide financial benefits to illegal immigrants. It ...

Musk alleges FEMA reimbursed NYC hotels $59 million for housing illegal immigrants

By Anna Giaritelli | Washington Examiner Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency alleged that the Biden administration spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars paying for “luxury hotels” in New York City, where thousands of illegal immigrants released into the United States from the southern border were housed. Musk said Monday morning on his social media platform X that his team just uncovered that the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency dispatched $59 million this past week to reimburse New York City for the massive amount of money it spent housing illegal immigrants that traveled to the sanctuary city during the Biden administration. “The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK ...

Press secretary confirms ‘first flights’ carrying illegals to Guantanamo Bay ‘underway’

By Roberto Wakerell-Cruz | The Post Millennial White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that the “first flights” carrying illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay are underway. Leavitt made the announcement during an interview on Fox Business, where she said that President Donald Trump was not “messing around” with the plan that he announced last week during the signing ceremony of the Laken Riley Act. "He's no longer going to allow America to be a dumping ground for illegal criminals from nations all over this world," she told Fox Business host Stuart Varney. "Venezuela as well has agreed to repatriation flights and Colombia also agreed to cooperate with the repatriation of illegal Colombian nationals that we have found in the interior of our country,...

ICE planning to ramp up arrests of illegals in major U.S. cities after Trump takes office, sources say

By Camilo Montoya-Galvez, Fin Gómez | CBS Colorado The incoming Trump administration is planning to ramp up operations to arrest unauthorized immigrants across major U.S. cities next week after President-elect Donald Trump takes office, targeting "sanctuary" jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration officials, two sources familiar with the plans tell CBS News. The locations expected to be targeted by deportation teams from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement include those with large populations of immigrants, such as the Chicago area, one of the sources said. ICE officials in the Chicago area recently put out a request for agents to participate in the post-inauguration arrest operations, unbeknownst to top agency leaders in Washington, a U.S. off...

Illegal immigrants straining education and healthcare, Common Sense report finds

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice  Illegal immigrants have targeted Denver as a key destination since late 2022. The rate of new arrivals may have decreased in 2024, but the fiscal impact on the city's finances, schools and healthcare systems has not. A recent report by the Common Sense Institute (CSI) shows the fiscal burden on Denver. It found that, as of November 2024, $79 million was spent on services for illegal immigrants. This figure represents about 8% of the city’s 2025 budget. These funds were allocated to a variety of essential services, including: Temporary shelter and housing assistance. Transportation and food distribution. Childcare and other support services. City officials initially projected spending of $180 million through 20...

Eric Adams ends free debit card program for illegal immigrants in NYC shelters

By The Post Millennial In the wake of Donald Trump's decisive presidential win, New York Mayor Eric Adams has announced that he plans to stop giving illegal immigrants free food vouchers. The program was in place for asylum seekers paroled into the US by the Biden-Harris administration. The move from Adams ends the pilot program that saw the city handing out debit cards to illegal immigrants staying in city shelters. The program had been in place for a year and enabled illegal immigrants to buy food.  ABC 7, the New York affiliate, indicated that bringing the program to an end once the contract period comes to a close was anti-humanitarian. "The so-called Immediate Response Cards pilot program was designed to feed migrant families who found themselves in New York with n...

New report reveals massive number of illegal immigrants benefiting from Biden-Harris admin’s ‘quiet amnesty’

By Adam Shaw | Fox News Nearly 1 million illegal immigrants are staying in the U.S. "indefinitely" after their cases were dismissed or closed, or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) failed to file the necessary documentation, according to a new House Judiciary Committee report being released on Thursday. "Through administrative maneuvering at both the Justice Department and DHS, the Biden-Harris Administration has already ensured that nearly 1 million illegal aliens can remain in the United States without the possibility of deportation—and that trend shows no sign of stopping," the report by the House majority on the committee, first obtained by Fox News Digital, says. When illegal immigrants are encountered, they can be put into removal proceedings by which they w...
