President Trump has terminated Somali TPS, cut funds to Minnesota in many ways, and secured guilty pleas and criminal sentences for hundreds of millions in Somalian fraud
Removal orders for Somalians have skyrocketed in 2026, putting them on track for deportation by ICE.

Most Somalis in America are citizens, meaning most cannot yet be deported by normal means, but this shift shows the Trump admin is going after the ones it can arrest and remove.

By the numbers, Trump has the highest ICE arrest rate and largest volume of voluntary departures on record.

Asylum grants have fallen to an all-time low. Border encounters have flatlined, with zero releases at the border for 16 months straight. Even naturalization has collapsed. This is officially the administration of remigration.

The Trump admin has also carried out the largest revocation of visas in history, the most denaturalization filings, and overseen more removal orders than ever.

"Iraq's state-owned Oil Tanker Company transported 2 million barrels ​of Iraqi crude aboard a very β€Œlarge crude carrier through the Strait of Hormuz, in what its director general says is ​the company's first such operation in ​decades."

Trump's reshaping of the world economy is having massive positive ripple effects.

Under President Trump, virtually all refugees over the past year have been White South Africans
President Trump's State Department under Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller has been directing millions of dollars toward White advocacy, 'Afrikaner rights in South Africa, safeguarding β€œWestern civilizational norms,” and documenting the damage of mass migration in Europe'

These funds are being pulled away from liberal causes that Clinton, Bush, Obama & Biden supported like lgbt and diversity.

Trump is making the federal judiciary younger, Whiter, and more right-wing.

President Trump has appointed more judges under 40 than Obama and Biden combined. His appointees across both terms have been ~ 88% White, bucking decades of forced diversity. Trump's mark will last far beyond this term, helping us fight leftist lawfare and anti-White acts.

President Trump has approved the death by firing squad of a former Army official and convicted Muslim terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan. Pete Hegseth agrees.

I believe this would be the first military service execution since the 1960s and the first military firing squad since 1945.

The DOJ is moving to revoke another 40 citizenships from foreigners, on top of the more than hundred previous filed.

For context β€” between 1990 to 2017, an average of only 11 denaturalizations were filed per year. Trump's DOJ is filing more than that every month now.

Revoking citizenship is a slow process, so the number will start small but grow long-term.
