The radical left is at it again, throwing a tantrum over President Trump’s bold, America-first deportation plans.

They cheered when millions of illegal aliens, including hardened criminals, flooded our borders under Biden’s open-door disaster.

But now, as Trump delivers on his mandate to clean up this mess, those same Democrats and their activist judge cronies are clutching their pearls, crying “due process” to shield lawbreakers.

The Department of Homeland Security has requested over 20,000 National Guard troops from the Defense Department to support President Donald Trump’s mass deportation initiative targeting criminal illegal aliens.

If approved, this would mark the first use of National Guard troops for interior immigration enforcement in U.S. history, signaling a significant escalation in the administration’s immigration crackdown.

The Defense Department is reviewing the request, with Pentagon lawyers assessing the legal implications of deploying National Guard troops for “interior immigration enforcement,” a Defense Department official told the New York Times on condition of anonymity.

The official noted uncertainty about the specific roles state National Guard members would play, including whether they would directly participate in apprehending individuals for deportation.

DHS’s request follows Trump’s pledge to prioritize the removal of criminal illegal aliens, a cornerstone of his 2024 campaign.

On Truth Social last month, Trump stated, "I'm doing what I was elected to do, remove criminals from our Country, but the Courts don't seem to want me to do that," adding, "We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years."

The administration’s plans face fierce resistance from Democratic lawmakers and activist federal judges, who argue that mass deportations violate due process.

Vice President JD Vance dismissed these legal challenges as a "fake legal process" designed to ratify "Biden’s illegal migrant invasion."

In a post on X, Vance wrote, "The judicial process is for Americans. Immediate deportation is for illegal aliens."

Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller echoed this sentiment, stating, "The judicial process is for Americans. Immediate deportation is for illegal aliens."

DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin defended the troop request, stating, "The Department of Homeland Security will use every tool and resource available to get criminal illegal aliens including gang members, murderers, pedophiles, and other violent criminals out of our country."

The military’s role in immigration enforcement is expanding rapidly.

Approximately 8,600 federal troops are already stationed at the U.S.-Mexico border, where the military has designated two National Defense Areas spanning 230 miles in New Mexico and Texas.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, during an April visit, declared, "Any illegal attempting to enter this zone is entering a military base, a federally protected area," adding that migrants crossing these zones would be detained by both Customs and Border Protection and the Defense Department.

The Navy is also contributing, with P-8 aircraft, two destroyers, and a littoral combat ship deployed for intelligence and enforcement operations, according to Adm. James Kilby’s testimony to Congress.

Two U.S. officials told CBS News that the requested National Guard troops would assist with logistics and operations related to interior immigration enforcement, potentially drawn from multiple states.

The Defense Department’s review of the request is ongoing, with no final decision announced.

Federal courts, however, remain a battleground. Judges appointed during the Biden-Harris administration have issued rulings delaying deportation efforts, prompting accusations of judicial overreach. Critics argue these decisions undermine Trump’s electoral mandate to prioritize national security through deportations.

Illegal immigration imposes significant economic and social costs on American citizens. A 2017 report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform estimated that illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers $150 billion annually, including expenses for education, healthcare, welfare, and law enforcement.

Local communities bear the brunt, with overcrowded schools and strained public services. For example, a 2023 study by the Center for Immigration Studies found that 43% of public school students in high-immigration areas are non-English speakers, diverting resources from native-born students.

Crime is another pressing concern. A 2020 Department of Justice report revealed that illegal aliens, while a small percentage of the population, accounted for 27% of federal prison inmates, with disproportionate representation in violent crime categories.

High-profile cases, such as the 2015 murder of Kate Steinle by an illegal alien with multiple deportations, underscore the public safety risks. These incidents fuel public demand for stricter enforcement, as evidenced by Trump’s 2024 election victory.

Illegal immigrants themselves face severe risks and exploitation due to their precarious legal status. Many undertake dangerous journeys to reach the U.S., with the International Organization for Migration reporting over 7,000 migrant deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border from 2014 to 2023.

Human trafficking and cartel violence are rampant, with a 2022 Homeland Security report documenting thousands of cases of smuggling and abuse targeting migrants.

Once in the U.S., illegal immigrants often face exploitation in the labor market. A 2019 study by the Economic Policy Institute found that undocumented workers earn 10-20% less than legal workers in similar roles, with little recourse for wage theft or unsafe conditions.

Deportation fears deter them from reporting abuses, perpetuating cycles of exploitation.

President Trump is delivering on his promise to put America first, sending a clear message: criminals don’t get a free pass to wreak havoc in our country.

Yet, the radical left and their judicial puppets are digging in, desperate to protect their open-borders fantasy at the expense of American safety and sovereignty. The American people spoke loud and clear in 2024, and no activist judge or whining Democrat can drown out that mandate.
