The pink heart-covered card says \u201ccome here illegally, and we\u2019ll deport you\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The White House has issued a blunt Valentine\u2019s Day message to deter illegal entry into the United States, sharing a pink card featuring images of President Donald Trump alongside his newly appointed border czar, Tom Homan.<\/p>\n

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been carrying out daily raids across the US since Trump took office on January 20. An estimated 11 to 35 million people are believed to be living in the US illegally. Trump promised on the campaign trail that, if elected, he would reduce this number by leading \u201cthe largest deportation operation in American history.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cRoses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally, and we\u2019ll deport you,\u201d<\/em> said the card, shared on the White House\u2019s official X account on Friday, with the caption \u201cHappy Valentine\u2019s Day\u201d<\/em> and a heart emoji.<\/p>\n

The border crackdown has already shown significant results, with daily illegal migrant crossings along the southern border dropping to an average of 359 \u2013 a decline of more than 90% compared to last February, according to internal data<\/a> cited by the New York Post.<\/p>\n

Trump to send deported migrants to Guantanamo<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Immigration officers made approximately 11,000 at-large arrests in the first 18 days of the operation, accounting for one-third of total arrests made by ICE in the previous year under former President Joe Biden. At least 5,693 of them have been deported as of February 3, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).<\/p>\n

In addition, the Trump administration has increased reliance on alternative detention facilities to handle the increased numbers \u2013 including the transfer of some detainees to Guantanamo Bay.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s initiative faced pushback from several Democratic-led states and local jurisdictions. Multiple sanctuary states, including California, New York, and Illinois, along with more than 200 cities and counties, have resisted cooperating with federal immigration efforts, arguing that less than half of those arrested had prior criminal convictions or pending charges.<\/p>\n

The White House insists that everyone<\/a> who entered the country illegally \u201cbroke our nation\u2019s laws and therefore they are criminals.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Tom Homan, the newly appointed border czar, told<\/a> Fox News late last month he\u2019s not satisfied with the pace of migrant deportations. He blamed sanctuary policies for complicating the administration\u2019s focus on detaining individuals who pose a threat to public safety \u2013 and warned that more collaterals could end up being arrested \u201cif they want to play that game.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
