Facing a hostile legacy media and an increasingly activist judiciary, the Trump administration is stepping up its messaging about the urgency of dealing with illegal immigration by posting the faces and crimes of 100 arrested individuals.
A White House official told the New York Post that the mugshot-style photos showcase some of the worst offenders that have been nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during President Trump’s first 100 days back in office.

The crimes include sexual battery on a child, rape, MS-13 members, homicide and murder.
Why do the democrats care more about these thugs than our own citizens?

Each sign is emblazoned with “ARRESTED” and features mugshots of migrants and the crimes they’re accused of committing, including MS-13 members, individuals accused of rape, kidnapping, sexual battery on a child, distribution of fentanyl and first-degree murder.
A White House official told Axios that the signs were strategically placed along “Pebble Beach” where they are readily visible in the spot where many TV journalists regularly line up to do their reporting from the White House.
Addressing illegal immigration was a major platform and campaign promise for Trump during the 2024 election cycle and a White House official told Axios, “You can expect the White House to tout the many promises made on the campaign trail that have been fulfilled in the president’s first 100 days.”
At least one news outlet, MSNBC, chose to blur the faces of the arrested individuals, in a bid to protect their identities.

Legacy media concern over due process for illegal immigrants, along with similar concerns being expressed by activist members of the federal judiciary are confusing to many Americans who saw no such official concern for accused J6 defendants being arrested and held for years.
While some media outlets claim that Trump’s overall approval rating is the lowest of any president in the past 80 years, there’s ample evidence that his promise to take action against illegal immigration is a major reason that Trump won the 2024 election decisively.
