President Donald J. Trump’s decisive invocation of a 1918 wartime law to fast-track deportations underscores his unwavering commitment to “Make America Great Again.” By leveraging historic powers to remove dangerous repeat offenders, the administration is taking the fight directly to criminal networks that threaten public safety—even as activist judges seek to undermine these life-saving measures.
Reclaiming Lost Authority for National Security
Under Trump’s leadership, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has turned to a century-old statute originally enacted to protect the homeland during World War I. This bold move honors our founding principle that the executive must have the tools to defend American citizens. Rather than bow to bureaucratic red tape, President Trump is restoring the rule of law by ensuring swift removal of noncitizens convicted of violent crimes.
Resisting Judicial Activism and Political Interference
Recently, two federal judges—most notably U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis of Maryland—have castigated the administration for exercising its lawful wartime prerogative. In an eight-page order, Judge Xinis decried DHS’s responses as “vague, evasive and incomplete,” threatening contempt. Yet this is textbook judicial activism: unelected judges inserting themselves into national security policy and obstructing an administration plainly elected to protect the American people.
Trump’s answer? Stand firm. He refuses to bow to activist jurists who believe they know better than the voters and Congress. By pressing on with deportations under a clear legal framework, the administration sends a powerful message: no court should block the will of the people or stand in the way of public safety.
A Vision for Stronger Borders and Safer Communities
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized the human toll of lax enforcement when California granted early release to Ortega Anguano—twice deported after DUI convictions that caused two tragic deaths. Thanks to Trump’s tough stance, DHS and ICE have placed a detainer to ensure that Anguano returns to custody immediately upon release.
“President Trump is not going to tolerate illegal immigrant crime,” Leavitt affirmed. “Our hearts are with the victims’ families, and we will not let bureaucracy stand in the way of justice.”
The ongoing legal battles highlight deep political divisions regarding immigration policy. Leavitt’s characterization of Democratic positions as prioritizing “illegal immigrant criminals first and American citizens last” reflects the administration’s framing of immigration enforcement as fundamentally a matter of public safety and national security rather than human rights or humanitarian concerns.
This perspective has found strong support among many of the administration’s allies. Michael D. Butler, CEO of Beyond Publishing and Faith and Freedom News, expressed pointed criticism of what he characterized as judicial activism interfering with the administration’s immigration agenda. Butler’s comments reflect the intensity of views on this issue among the administration’s supporters.
“Impeach these dime store activist judges who are shopping their book deals,” Butler stated in a forceful reaction to the judicial challenges. “We voted Trump in to make America safe, time to take war powers act to next level and purge the country!”
This is the hallmark of Trump’s MAGA agenda: putting American lives first, enforcing laws without apology, and sending a clear deterrent message to criminal enterprises exploiting our immigration system.
Michael D. Butler, CEO of Beyond Publishing and Faith and Freedom News, has rallied behind the president’s use of wartime powers. Butler declared:
“Impeach these dime-store activist judges who are shopping their book deals. We voted Trump in to make America safe—time to take the War Powers Act to the next level and purge the country!”
This clarion call reflects the grassroots energy fueling Trump’s revolution: voters demand leaders who enforce laws, secure borders, and hold every branch of government accountable.
The Road Ahead: Defending Executive Authority
As Trump pursues full enforcement of the wartime statute, he challenges Congress to codify his vision with clearer legislation. Yet he will not wait for lawmakers while American families remain at risk. By standing up to judicial meddling and refusing to back down, President Trump proves that strong executive action is essential to safeguard our nation.
Critics may decry “overreach,” but ordinary Americans recognize decisive leadership. Under Trump’s MAGA banner, no activist judge, no political opponent, and no foreign criminal threat will derail the mission to restore safety, sovereignty, and justice to the United States.
