The fight to secure the border isn’t complicated. On one side, you have Americans who believe that a nation needs a border to survive—to protect its laws, its culture, and its people. On the other, you have a radical progressive movement that sees our border as an inconvenience to their globalist fantasy.

For years, the legacy media has done the Left’s bidding, spinning yarns about innocent families just looking for a better life. They’ve perfected the art of the sob story, hoping you won’t ask the one question that brings their entire house of cards down: Who are these people, really?

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

Seven in 10 arrests made in 2025 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been of either convicted criminals or those charged with criminal offenses, according to new data released by the Trump administration. ICE arrested 595,000 illegal immigrants between January 20 and December 11 in 2025 as the president has conducted a crackdown on illegal immigration.

According to new data from the Trump administration, an incredible 70 percent—that’s seven out of every ten—of the illegal immigrants arrested by ICE in 2025 are either convicted criminals or have pending criminal charges here in the United States. Out of 595,000 arrests, 416,000 were individuals already on the wrong side of American law.

The Left’s Dangerous Fairytale Crumbles

Let’s call the Democrats’ immigration narrative what it is: a flat-out lie. It’s a bedtime story they tell to lull a nervous country to sleep, and the new data is a blaring alarm clock. They sold us a fantasy about harmless dreamers, but President Trump’s focused enforcement has exposed the nightmare they were trying to hide. The people being detained are not, by and large, innocent families. They are criminals.

While the talking heads on cable news hyperventilate over ICE raids, they never mention the American victims of the criminals they’re so desperate to protect. Each of those 416,000 arrests represents a crime—a family terrorized, a business robbed, a life shattered. The Left’s performative compassion is just a cover for an agenda that leaves law-abiding citizens vulnerable and afraid.

A Threat Hiding in Plain Sight

And if you thought that 70 percent figure was bad, buckle up. The reality is much, much worse. This is the part of the story the media prays you never hear. That shocking number is just the baseline—it doesn’t even count the predators who simply haven’t been caught in the U.S. yet. Take Antonio Israel Lazo-Quintanilla. He had no American criminal record, so he isn’t even in that 70 percent. But back in El Salvador, he’s wanted for aggravated homicide, extortion, and drug possession.

How many more like him are out there? How many killers and gang members have walked right across our border, welcomed by sanctuary city policies, just waiting to find their next victim? The media refuses to ask because the answers would obliterate their entire narrative. They are so wedded to their ideology that they will gladly ignore a direct threat to your family’s safety.

Restoring Order Amidst the Chaos

This is the difference between a politician and a leader. While the Left wrings its hands and activist judges play games with our security, President Trump is simply doing the job he was elected to do. His administration has made it clear that the United States will no longer be a sanctuary for the world’s criminals. He has empowered ICE to prioritize public safety, and his deployment of the National Guard was a necessary step to bring order to cities drowning in chaos, even as the courts try to block him.

This is what leadership looks like. It’s direct, it’s decisive, and it’s unapologetically on the side of the American people. The opposition from the Left isn’t about humanity; it’s about holding onto a failed ideology, no matter the cost to our country.

So when you hear the media bemoaning ICE raids, remember these numbers. This isn’t about politics anymore. It’s about reality. The border isn’t being crossed by victims; it’s being crossed by criminals, and President Trump is one of the few leaders willing to do something about it. Don’t let them gaslight you into believing otherwise.

Key Takeaways

• New data reveals 7 in 10 illegal immigrants arrested by ICE have U.S. criminal histories.
• The media’s “humanitarian” narrative deliberately conceals this widespread criminality.
• The actual threat is far worse, as many foreign warrants and gang ties go uncounted.
• President Trump’s enforcement actions prioritize the safety of American citizens over political correctness.
