President Trump’s bold immigration crackdown in 2026 delivers massive victories against illegal entry, deporting over 605,000 aliens and prompting 1.9 million to self-deport—proving America First policies restore sovereignty and protect American families from globalist overreach.

Story Highlights

  • Trump’s executive orders ended catch-and-release, expanded detentions, and declared cartels as terrorists, slashing illegal immigration dramatically.
  • Net migration turned negative in 2025 for the first time in decades, with over 2.5 million illegals removed since Trump’s return.
  • Refugee admissions slashed to 7,500 for 2026, prioritizing white South African Afrikaners amid full travel bans on high-risk nations.
  • A federal judge blocked Haitian migrant deportations, highlighting activist courts undermining border security efforts.

Trump’s Border Emergency Declaration

President Trump signed Proclamation 10888 on inauguration night in January 2025, declaring the southern border influx an “invasion” under Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution. This mandated blocking asylum seekers, ending catch-and-release, and suspending refugee admissions. Cartels and criminal groups received terrorist designations, enabling swift action. These steps fulfill Trump’s promise to protect states from unlawful entry, prioritizing American safety over open-border chaos from prior administrations.

Expanded Deportations and Interior Enforcement

Executive Order 14165, “Securing Our Borders,” subjects all undocumented immigrants to criminal charges and deportation. It replaces catch-and-release with catch-and-detain nationwide. Expedited removal now applies to anyone in the U.S. less than two years without proof of lawful entry. Enhanced vetting screens for terrorist ties, suspending entries from threat nations under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Over 605,000 deportations and 1.9 million self-deportations followed, achieving negative net migration in 2025.

Trump signed Proclamation 10949 on June 4, 2025, imposing full travel bans on citizens from Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, Somalia, Yemen, and others. Partial bans hit Burundi, Cuba, Venezuela. Exceptions cover visa holders and athletes. This targets high-risk nationalities, safeguarding communities from crime and welfare strain linked to unchecked migration.

Refugee Cuts and Haitian Policy Clash

The 2026 refugee cap dropped to 7,500 from 125,000, prioritizing Afrikaners fleeing persecution in South Africa. Family Reunification Parole ends December 15, 2025. In February 2026, Trump targeted protections for 350,000 Haitians, but a federal judge blocked it. This judicial interference echoes Biden-era obstruction, delaying removals and exposing Americans to risks from unstable regions.

Interior measures expand: Immigrants register by April 11, 2025, aiding ICE identification. Facial scans aid arrests; denaturalization targets fraud cases with 100-200 referrals monthly. No-tax credits for non-SSN holders and $5,000 fees for missed hearings deter abuse. USCIS paused green cards for high-risk nationalities effective January 21, 2026.

Public Support and Conservative Wins

Pew Research shows 62% of Americans back military border presence; 56% favor social media reviews for entrants. Republicans overwhelmingly support (89% military, 79% reviews), rejecting millionaire-fee priorities (79% oppose overall). These policies align with conservative values of limited government intrusion via secure borders, countering woke globalism and fiscal burdens from illegal immigration.
