The White House celebrated President Donald Trump’s 100th day in office with a bold visual message — posters lined across the lawn featuring mugshots of 100 “worst illegal immigrant criminals” arrested during his second term.
“Good Morning from The White House!” wrote Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on X (formerly Twitter), sharing videos of the lawn, which was covered with large posters labeled “arrested” along with photos and crimes of the individuals.
The message was clear: under Trump’s leadership, immigration enforcement is back in full force. A post from the White House’s official account declared, “We will hunt you down. You will face justice. You will be deported — and you will never set foot on American soil again.”
Trump’s Aggressive Immigration Crackdown
During a press briefing, Leavitt, joined by Border Czar Tom Homan, updated reporters on the administration’s hardline border policies.
According to Homan, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported 139,000 people so far. Between January 23 and January 31 alone, ICE averaged 787 arrests daily — a massive jump from the daily average of 311 under the Biden administration.
Leavitt also revealed major weekend operations:
- A joint raid between ICE Miami and Florida officials detained nearly 800 suspected illegal immigrants.
- In Colorado Springs, a DEA raid on an underground nightclub led to the detention of over 100 suspected illegal immigrants.
“Especially if you look at the ICE numbers — the arrest removals are far beyond what they were under Biden,” Homan said, praising the results.
Legal Challenges Mount
Despite the administration’s victories, Trump’s immigration policies are facing growing legal battles.
Most notably, in Louisiana, ICE officers deported three U.S. citizen children alongside their Honduran mothers after routine check-ins. Lawyers argue the women were given virtually no opportunity to challenge the deportations.
Still, Homan defended the administration, claiming the mothers had requested their children accompany them.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, presenting another hurdle for Trump’s sweeping agenda.
What’s Next for Trump
Looking ahead, Leavitt announced another press briefing scheduled for Tuesday to address the economy. Later in the evening, Trump will rally supporters in Michigan — the last state he campaigned in before the 2024 election.
President Trump’s first 100 days have been marked by aggressive moves on immigration, strong visuals like the White House mugshot lawn, and an unwavering message: America’s borders will be enforced — no matter the cost.
