Musk Fumes After DOGE Team Discovers ‘FEMA Sent $59 Million LAST WEEK to Luxury Hotels in NYC’ to House Illegals By Debra Heine

https://amgreatness.com/2025/02/10/musk-fumes-after-doge-team-discovers-fema-sent-59-million-last-week-to-luxury-hotels-in-nyc-to-house-illegals/

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was still sending millions of taxpayer dollars to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal aliens as recently as last week, according to DOGE chief Elon Musk.

In a post on X early Monday morning, an irate Musk wrote that his team had just discovered that “FEMA sent $59 million LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.”

Trump signed an executive order on January 24 to create a council to review FEMA, address the agency’s failed responses to recent disasters and come up with a plan “to drastically improve the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (“FEMA’s) efficacy, priorities, and competence.”

Trump also signed an executive order requiring all federal agencies to “temporarily pause all activities related to…disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, and other relevant agency activities.”

The freeze affected funding on thousands of federal programs, pending review by the administration, but a federal judge put that action on hold late last month.

Musk said FEMA’s transfer of funds to the luxury hotels “violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order.”

He added: “That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.”

Wealthy Hampton residents hold meeting over nannies being deported

The wealthy residents of East Hampton went into panic mode over the possibility their hired help could face expulsion from the US as part of Donald Trump’s mass deportation program. The exclusive Long Island village – with an average home value of $2 million and residents that include Sylvester Stallone’s daughters – held an emergency meeting amid fears that ICE would round up the employees of locals.

Militant Group Teaching ‘Self Defense’ Against ICE Raids Lincoln Brown

Under the Obama administration, we were repeatedly told about the “fundamental transformation” of America, and we have seen what that looks like scrawled in broad strokes across the national canvas. Then came “The Great Replacement Theory,” which the MSM and progressives laughed and hooted at and labeled as a conspiracy. Of course, anyone with the capacity to reason understood that the theory in question was subtle, multi-pronged, and a component of Obama’s vision for fundamental transformation. 

A bit of that has been played out recently in the mass protests in which people waving Mexican flags and those of other nations have blockaded freeways and storefronts while engaging in acts of violence, destruction, and intimidation. The message they are sending, whether intended or not, is clear: they have no intention of living the American Dream, even if they did enter the country clandestinely. Whether they know it or not or even if they don’t care, they look for all the world like an occupying force.

Now, they are putting the flags away as the movement takes its next natural step. The Washington Free Beacon reports that a left-wing militant group, Unión del Barrio (UdB), has been offering what it calls “self-defense” training to help illegals respond to ICE raids. Using the Black Panthers as a model, UdB is trying to recruit patrols to identify ICE vehicles and personnel and drive the agents out of Latino neighborhoods. 

The Free Beacon had a quote from the group’s website (which incidentally featured a photo of Cuban soldiers armed with AK-47s):

The Community Patrols are a means of building community-based power that will challenge police and migra (sic) attacks. These agencies are trained to profile, harass, detain, arrest, and brutalize our people. We are determined to build … barrio [neighborhood]-centered self-defense and prevent the detention and family separation that has taken place over the last several decades.

The objective is to organize our people in every barrio, block by block, to defend our communities from colonial violence and threats to our human and democratic rights. We intend to expose the anti-Raza [race] nature of the colonizer state that has now openly declared itself a tool to terrorize, repress, and exploit the lives and labor power of the Mexicano-Raza working class.

Mexico—Friend, Enemy, Neutral, or Something Else? After years of U.S. appeasement, Mexico exploits open borders, drug trade, and remittances—it’s time for America to enforce real consequences and reclaim control. By Victor Davis Hanson

https://amgreatness.com/2025/01/30/mexico-friend-enemy-neutral-or-something-else/

Mexican nationals, likely cartel members, recently crossed the border and shot and wounded an American hiker. Did they assume that Joe Biden was still president, and so it was still a veritable open season on Americans without consequences?

Mexico also recently balked at allowing a U.S. transport plane to land, returning its own nationals apprehended as illegal aliens.

Was its attitude that Alejandro Mayorkas was still Homeland Security Secretary and thus working with Mexico to ensure that millions of illegal aliens could stay in the U.S. indefinitely?

After four years of Biden’s appeasement, Mexico seems to assume that it has a sovereign right to encourage the flight of millions of its own impoverished citizens illegally into the U.S. and further assumes that it can fast-track millions of Latin Americans through its territory and across our border.

Mexico either cannot or will not address the billions of dollars of raw fentanyl products shipped in—mostly from China—and then processed for export to the U.S. by its cartels across a nonexistent border.

Mexico seems to have little concern that some 75,000 Americans on average die from mostly Mexican-imported fentanyl each year—more deaths in just the last decade than all the Americans killed in action during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War combined. Who then is our friend, and who is our enemy?

This appalling death toll is in part due to the deliberate efforts of the cartels to mask fentanyl as less deadly narcotics or camouflage the poison by lacing it into counterfeit prescription drugs.

Mexico encourages its expatriate illegal aliens to send back some $63 billion per year in remittances. That huge sum constitutes one of Mexico’s largest sources of foreign exchange, surpassing even its tourist and oil revenues.

ICE agents begin deportation raids in Chicago, Cook County By Kevin Bessler

https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_507b6012-dce4-11ef-9d56-abcd3aaa0b5d.html

The Trump administration is following through on promises to ramp up immigration enforcement efforts and Illinois is in the bullseye.  

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents made over a thousand arrests nationwide over the weekend, with many taking place in Cook County.

Border Czar Tom Homan, who was in Chicago this weekend, said for now they are focusing on criminals with arrest warrants and deportation orders. 

“Sanctuary cities lock us out of the jails,” Homan said on ABC’s ‘This Week’. “So instead of ICE being able to arrest the bad guy, that the criminal alien in the safety and security of a jail, where the officers are safe, the alien is safe, the public safe, sanctuary cities release him back in the community,” Homan said.

The actions come after Homan warned sanctuary cities across the U.S., including Chicago, that their policies will not prevent deportations, and will instead endanger communities, federal agents and illegal aliens.

Several immigrant advocacy groups in Chicago are suing the Trump administration and U.S. Immigration And Customs Enforcement. 

The Illinois Latino Agenda issued a statement in response to incorrect reports that ICE agents attempted to enter a school.

“Although it was later confirmed not to be ICE, it’s an example of confusion and misinformation that spreads when communities are being terrorized. The most helpless and vulnerable among us, our children, should not live in fear and their parents should not be afraid to send them to school,” the statement read. 

White House: Colombia ‘Has Agreed to All of President Trump’s Terms’ Matt Margolis

The government of Colombia has officially caved to President Trump, according to the White House.

“The Government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement recieved by Pj media. “Based on this agreement, the fully drafted IEEPA tariffs and sanctions will be held in reserve, and not signed, unless Colombia fails to honor this agreement. The visa sanctions issued by the State Department, and enhanced inspections from Customs and Border Protection, will remain in effect until the first planeload of Colombian deportees is successfully returned.”

Leavitt added, “Today’s events make clear to the world that America is respected again. President Trump will continue to fiercely protect our nation’s sovereignty, and he expects all other nations of the world to fully cooperate in accepting the deportation of their citizens illegally present in the United States.”

This is a tremendous victory for President Trump. After Colombia unexpectedly refused to accept U.S. military flights carrying deported illegal immigrants over the weekend, President Donald Trump responded with epic force. 

In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized Colombia’s socialist president, Gustavo Petro, accusing him of jeopardizing U.S. national security. In retaliation, Trump announced immediate measures, including tariffs on Colombian imports, visa bans for officials and their families, enhanced cargo inspections, and financial sanctions. Petro quickly reversed course, offering his presidential plane to assist in repatriating the deportees, signaling a victory for Trump’s tough stance.

Trump Shuts Down the Hate-America Left’s Border Crisis “Either help us or get the hell out of the way, because ICE is going to do their job.”Mark Tapson

On Day One of his second Presidency, Donald Trump took action to stem what is arguably the most catastrophic ongoing crisis the previous administration of Joe Biden has engendered: the opened floodgates of illegal immigration at our southern border.

A nation without a secure border and enforced immigration laws is a nation at serious risk of collapse due to threats ranging from system overload to drug- and human trafficking to terrorism. This is especially the case with the United States, still the world’s preeminent beacon of liberty and prosperity, which makes it both a promised land for millions fleeing poverty and oppression, and a target for ideological enemies both external and internal who would subvert and destroy her.

Among other historic measures to reverse the tide of the radical Left’s “fundamental transformation” of our country, Trump declared this border crisis to be exactly what it is – a national emergency – and signed an executive order on Monday ordering the deployment of 1,500 active-duty servicemembers to the border with Mexico. “Clarifying the Military’s Role in Protecting the Territorial Integrity of the United States” was one of ten executive orders he signed that day related to border security and illegal immigration.

“A National Emergency currently exists along the southern border of the United States,” the order reads:

Unchecked unlawful mass migration and the unimpeded flow of opiates across our borders continue to endanger the safety and security of the American people and encourage further lawlessness. Accordingly, through this order, I am acting in accordance with my solemn duty to protect and defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United States along our national borders.

Trump’s Mass Deportation Operation Begins with Over 300 Criminal Aliens Rounded Up on Day One David Zimmerman

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/trumps-mass-deportation-operation-begins-with-over-300-criminal-aliens-rounded-up-on-day-one/

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested at least 308 illegal immigrants on President Donald Trump’s first full day in office, border czar Tom Homan announced Wednesday.

On Tuesday, immigration authorities began arresting hundreds of illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes, including murder and rape. Over 1.4 million immigrants residing in the U.S. illegally will be prioritized in the early days of Trump’s second term.

“We’re concentrating on the worst first,” Homan told Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones Wednesday morning, noting ICE is focusing on arresting “public safety threats” and “national security threats” as Trump promised.

“Some of them were murderers. Some of them were rapists. Some of them raped a child. Some sexually assaulted a child,” the border czar said of the 308 detainees.

National Review contacted DHS and ICE for comment on additional details of the arrested criminal aliens.

“ICE is doing their job” and “performing excellently right now out in the field,” Homan added.

On Monday, Trump declared a national emergency to secure the southern border and halt the historic surge of illegal immigrants that proliferated under former president Joe Biden for four years.

About 11 million immigrants were living in the U.S. illegally as of 2022, according to an April 2024 report from the Office of Homeland Security Statistics. That figure is likely higher now due to record border crossings under Biden.

Seth Barron Don’t Call Trump’s Plan “Mass Deportation” It’s a propaganda term that doesn’t describe the specific detention and removal plans of the new administration.

https://www.city-journal.org/article/trump-mass-deportation-illegal-immigration

Since the second election of Donald Trump, activists, officials, and journalists have written repeatedly about the coming “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants. The National Immigrant Justice Center has put out a fact sheet warning its clients to “prepare for Trump’s mass deportation threats.” The ACLU observes that “Trump has repeatedly sought to rationalize his plans for mass deportation, blending military and national security rhetoric with xenophobia.” And Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, at a rally calling for Temporary Protected Status for Ecuadorians illegally residing in the United States, warned that Trump plans to deploy the “military to conduct mass deportations” of “those who serve as the backbone of our local economies.”

“Mass deportation” is a propaganda term that does not describe the detention and removal plans of the new administration, and it is not used by Trump or his representatives. Mass deportation is the wholesale detention and removal of an entire community based on nationality, ethnicity, or some other immutable characteristic. For example, Stalin engaged in large-scale reorganization of the population of the Soviet Union based on nationality, beginning with the mass deportation of 170,000 ethnic Koreans from their home on the Sea of Japan 4,000 miles west to Uzbekistan. Later, during World War II, Stalin’s secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria deported 200,000 Tatars from their home in Crimea thousands of miles to the east.

Other historical mass deportations include Andrew Jackson’s ethnic cleansing of Native Americans from the Deep South and their forced removal a thousand miles west, in what is known as the Trail of Tears. The removal of 112,000 ethnic Japanese from the American Pacific coast during World War II qualifies, too, as does the mass deportation of millions of Jews from German-occupied Europe to concentration and extermination camps in Poland during that same conflict. Mass deportations are indiscriminate in that every person associated with a national or ethnic group is rounded up.
