New ICE Budget Request Makes Official: Trump & Miller Set Mass Deportation Quota of One Million Per Year - America's Voice Washington, DC — In the Washington Times article, “ICE sets 1 million deportation target for 2026, 2027,” Stephen Dinan reports: “It has long been rumored and denied, but ICE has now made it official:...

While the administration keeps using the talking point of the "worst of the worst" and emphasizing their focus on "criminals," the pressure to fulfill Miller’s quotas ensures that they are instead going after long-established community members with deeply rooted lives and families here.

New Revelation: Trump Administration Diverts Resources from National Security to Mass Deportation, Making America Less Safe - America's Voice Washington, DC — Relying on previously “unreported internal federal agency documents and footnotes in the Office of Management and Budget’s apportionments database,” a new must-read investigative piec...

According to the Trump Administration’s own OMB internal documents, Trump and Miller’s obsession with mass deportation is diverting resources away from national security and the safety of our nation.

We cannot spend one more dime on this chaotic scheme.

For 250 years, America has been shaped by immigrants from every part of the globe and become a beacon of hope and opportunity for the world... That is my story, and the story of every American who is a descendant of an immigrant, including every Justice sitting on the Supreme Court bench today.

Why This Week’s Key Developments Call for More Accountability and Real Reform - America's Voice Washington, DC — The Trump administration and allies have tried and failed to make the case that developments this week – from the war in Iran to the firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem – should compe...

It’s been a rough week for the Trump administration.

Backlash to their reckless war of choice in Iran. The primary election results on Tuesday. Kristi Noem’s pathetic hearings on Capitol Hill, showing the corruption, cruelty, and chaos that defines their anti-immigrant, mass deportation crusade.

Trump fires Kristi Noem as DHS chief, names Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her Stepping in as acting secretary is GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma who Trump said had "Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda."

This is not accountability, just a reshuffling of the enablers of the Trump/Miller agenda.

The problem isn't just with Sec. Noem, DHS, ICE or CBP. Nothing will change until we until we recognize and hold accountable those who are ultimately responsible for what is playing out before our eyes.

And in a classic example of ‘do as I say, not as I do,’ the Trump administration encourages the Iranian people to stand up and use their voices to speak out against repression while cracking down on the American people who are attempting to do the same here at home.

The contrast with the clear-eyed vision articulated by Gov. @abigailspanberger.com on immigration, the economy and affordability, was striking.

The Governor spoke for the needs of the majority of Americans; the President for a shrinking base of support.
