Refuting The Media's Latest Immigration Propaganda

Original Article

Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 2/21/2026 7:19:10 PM

The corporate media recently obtained a leaked Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memorandum changing the agency's policy on forcibly entering the home of an alien who has been ordered to be deported by an immigration judge. (snip) According to the talking heads, civil rights in the United States will now evaporate. (snip) However, such claims are utter nonsense. (snip) when ICE follows all of the procedures set forth (snip) in the Immigration and Nationality Act, aliens are being given all the due process they are owed. And regarding the arrest of immigration violators Congress has explicitly stated (snip) that an administrative -- not a judicial -- warrant suffices (snip)

Comments:

Not only does an administrative warrant suffice to apprehend a criminal alien with a final removal order but, as the article notes, federal district judges have no authority whatsoever to issue judicial warrants in immigration cases. Administrative warrants are used to enter private property in cases involving the manufacture and sale of firearms. Where are the demands for judicial warrants to enforce these "gun control" statutes?

Excellent article. It clearly states that the management of the removal of illegal immigrants is in the sole province of the Executive. This drives the Left nuts because they have counted on Leftist courts to carry out unlegislated policy for decades. It drives Leftist judges nuts because they cannot exercise the unconstitutional and dictatorial power that have been using for decades. They simply don't have a say. It drives the media nuts because no matter how they try to twist it, the law is very clear and they end up looking as stupid as they actually are. The simple fact is, the Executive is fully empowered to remove people who are in the country illegally without interference from legislative or judicial branches of government. It's the same kind of power rationally assigned to the President as Commander in Chief. Once war is declared, the President conducts it without Congressional or Judicial oversight. Some things just cannot be run by a bureaucracy. They have to be run by a leader, a President.

There are about six hundred US District Judges throughout the USA, so claiming that one of those District Judges must issue a judicial warrant before an illegal alien under a final order of deportation can be arrested for deportation is ridiculous, as there are many hundreds of thousands of such illegal aliens who are arrested and deported each year out of the about twenty million illegal aliens who are believed to be in the USA. It has been settled Federal immigration law for many generations that illegal aliens are only entitled to the rights that Congress gives them in the immigration laws as they are administratively processed for deportation under the immigration laws, and that has never included anything got do do with judicial warrants having to be issued by a Federal District Judge before such deportable aliens be arrested by Federal immigration officers for deportation. The reasons that all that is being pushed by the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats is that they do not want any illegal aliens to be deported, instead they want all illegal aliens to stay in the USA, be counted in the US Census to trigger a congressional redistricting process based upon greatly increased illegal alien populations ensconced in the Democrat controlled sanctuary cities and States where leftist Democrat candidates are bound to win the resulting elections in those moved and newly established congressional districts giving the Democrats majority control of the House of Representatives. Then of course to be able grant all illegal aliens a so-called “comprehensive immigration reform amnesty” thus placing the illegal alien recipients on “a path to citizenship” and of course to be transitioned into becoming millions of future leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat supporters and voters keeping those Democrats in permanent political power. It’s all political!

HARD FACT: Illegals aren't legally entitled to much 'due process' and are entitled to NOTHING whatsoever from our judicial court system, which has no authority over them. Only the INA officers (ICE officers and INS judges, for examples) have authority over them. And they may be grabbed where ever they are, including in some housing...probably an apartment that they don't even own. More illegals out, faster, please.

A bombshell X post that has racked up thousands of views in hours lays bare the mechanics of what many Nevadans have long suspected: the 2020 presidential election in the Silver State was compromised by a deliberate, pandemic-fueled overhaul of voting rules by state Democrats that opened the floodgates to widespread fraud in 2020 and subsequent elections. The post from @TheSCIF details a catastrophic surge in mail-in ballots -- from 6,300 in 2016 to 690,000 in 2020. Using the COVID-19 emergency as cover, Nevada Democrats unilaterally rammed through universal mail-in voting, unlimited ballot harvesting, unsecured and unmanned ballot boxes, extended ballot tabulation, and stripped away basic election safeguards.

Few things in Washington, D.C., generate as much as excitement and intrigue as a Supreme Court confirmation showdown. For decades, since the eponymous "borking" of then-Supreme Court nominee Bob Bork in 1987, political battles surrounding the membership of the nation's high court have been among the most contentious and raucous of Beltway affairs. Which is why it's rather curious that very few outside the most fervid of court-watchers seem to be discussing the distinct possibility that there could be one or two Supreme Court vacancies after the current term ends this summer.
