We're now at 1,975 agreements between local and state law enforcement with ICE through the 287(g) program. At this pace we may pass 2,000 agreements this month, enough to execute state-level deportations in a third of the country.

This is up from 34 in 2016 ; 135 in 2024.

Correct take from Senator Eric Schmitt. The Great Peace Deal by Trump for Iran, which doesn't include money handed out from the U.S. or immediate forgiveness, also offers three functions:

1) The deal shows America is in charge, neither Israel nor domestic lobbies decide the direction of Trump's foreign policy.

2) The reporting around the deal reveals the troubled instincts and questionable loyalties of both sides outside of Trump.

3) If Iran fails to uphold its end of the agreement, the U.S. shows we tried and further decimation is justified.

VP Vance covers what I've mentioned beforeβ€”Iran stands in the way of a more cooperative, productive Middle East; A Middle East that can work with us means remigration opportunities, a greater energy economy and higher investment.


β€˜The gulf arab countries hated the Obama deal because it enabled Iran to be a bad actor. They love Trump's Peace Plan because we might unite the region’. The U.S. will either open it up for business or apply pressure to break its resistance; in either case the US improves its footing.

A few immigration enforcement actions against hiring & hiding illegals this month:

An illegal H-2A visa farm was brought down, resulting in years of prison; two managers were arrested for covering up illegal employment, and many are facing charges and prison for facilitating illegal entry. DOJ, DHS have been coordinating with one another to crackdown on illegal immigrants already in the interior.

we will not allow them to unless the Iranians do what we require them to do. Nobody can invest in Iran without American approval

Confirmation from President Trump: β€˜If they don't behave, we'll just go back to dropping bombs on them. Obama tried to bribe his way out, I'm not doing that.’

During the Biden years, Evanston, Illinois launched a program to pay blacks free money just for being black in the city, using tax-payer money to finance it. Trump's DOJ is pushing to end the program, citing racial discrimination.

Using a 287(g) agreement signed with ICE, law enforcement in the Sevierville area of Tennessee caught over 100 illegals to deport in under a week.

We now have 1,986 state & local law enforcement agreements with ICE, 1,300 being Task Force Model types which allow officers to identify & arrest illegals in their area. That's 100 new task forces in under 20 days, since June begn.

Expanding this 287(g) program is how we increase and maintain interior removals for long-term mass deportations that will carry over into next term.

From 2012 to 2024 there were 0 Task Force Model agreements, because Obama gutted 287(g). Now more and more police are signing up than ever, in part due to their trust in Tom Homan.

Trump building up this program shows the focus is really on deporting aliens from the interior, and any Republican government state or local can mandate that their jurisdiction participate.

Senator Eric Schmitt: β€œPresident Trump achieved what many thought was impossible, crippling Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities while creating an opening for diplomacy. President Trump was very clear from the beginning about the mission here β€” to ensure that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon.

They no longer have the ability to do that, and now they’re signing on the dotted line, for the first time, that they won’t pursue it. We don’t need to trust themβ€”we just need to verify it. And if necessary, we can always go back and mow the lawn because we’ve got eyes on it.”

β€˜Israel is a good partner but they could do better, with respect to Hezbollah. When two drones are shot into the desert, you don't have to knock down buildings in Beruit. On that, they aren't doing well.’

Trump acknowledges how poorly Israel behaves in the Middle East, often in a way that is counterproductive.

β€˜I told Bibi, your biggest risk is that they drop a nuclear weapon in the middle of Israel. It'd only take one, and Israel would be gone. Think of it, Bibi. I think they're happy. Some people, some writers, will be not happy.’ Trump snubbing the Zionist agitators who are freaking out at him.

β€œNo longer focused on defending Europe NATO 2.0 drifted toward out-of-area operations and things that had nothing to do with war fighting at all.

Instead of tanks, fighters, and air defenses, the focus has been on gender equity, climate change, and defense austerity.

Europe’s borders flew wide openβ€”welfare states expanded, defense budgets cratered along with Europe's belief in itself. Those are lost years we are not going back to, and that's why we have cut troop levels back to pre-2022 levels and grown our own industrial base."

β€œGoing forward our annual NATO dues will be contingent on other countries meeting their spending targets. Where other allies do not spend with urgency, our dues contribution will go down. NATO will be a two-way street.”

β€˜One key difference between this agreement and others is that it comes after months of bombing and a blockade that was impenetrable. And we will be prepared to recommence if Iran does not do what it says it's going to do; the War Department is here to start up again. We are the big stick behind the negotiations, which did not exist under Obama.

We have put military operations in place to set the conditions, such as Trump killing Soleimani, Operation Midnight Hammer, Epic Fury, the Blockade and Project Freedom which moved hundreds of millions of barrels of oil.’

SecWar Hegseth addresses the Iran deal and how it will be enforced by the Trump admin, saying we have the capability to reimpose a blockade and bomb harder at will if that becomes necessary, dispelling incorrect comparison to the JCPOA.

"It's a misrepresentation of the MOU ... the idea that [Iran will] get benefits before they change their behavior is fundamentally a talking point that is issued by people who want the conflict to continue indefinitely despite the fact that that's not good for the American people."

VP JD Vance addresses the misinfo surrounding the Iran deal, much of which comes from foreign influences.
