ICE To Increase Deportations To 3000 Illegals Per Day After Leadership Shake-Up
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced sweeping leadership changes Thursday as part of an effort to dramatically ramp up arrests of illegal migrants. New goals for deportations start at 3000 arrests per day at 'bare minimum' according to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and this will grow as the agency receives increased funding.
The change in quota is nearly double the 1800 arrests per day originally mandated by the Trump Administration in January. If arrests remain static at 3000 per day, the new goal would result in over a million deportations of illegal immigrants per year.
To put the situation in perspective, there were at least 11 million border encounters recorded under the Biden Administration's open border bonanza. Add to this approximately 2 million getaways (border jumpers that were not intercepted by Border Patrol). The vast majority (around 85%) of all encounters were released into the US under asylum policies, meaning it is likely that 10 million or more illegal migrants were able to enter the US unfettered.
Considering that the Trump Administration reduced those numbers by 95% at the border in only four months, it's clear that the border invasion was highly coordinated and supported by Democrat politicians and leaders. The migrant crisis was engineered.
Unfortunately the success at the border does not solve the problem of millions of illegals already within the US. Trump is seeking to make deportation a tangible threat and this requires far more arrests. With deportation becoming a common occurrence, the effort may inspire most illegals to simply leave the country on their own.

Trump Will Allow Iran To Enrich Uranium
A fresh nuclear deal submitted to Iran from the Trump administration over the weekend would allow limited low-level uranium enrichment on Iranian soil for a to-be-determined period of time, Axios writes in a breaking report Monday. This contradicts the prior public statements of Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who have several times made clear that the full dismantlement of Iran's nuclear facilities is a Washington red line. Israel will be vexed — zerohedge (@zerohedge) June 2, 2025 Tehran, for its part has remained firm on its own red line, saying its ability to enrich uranium for peaceful domestic energy purposes is a matter of national sovereignty. Is Trump meeting Iran in the middle? Rather, the hawks will of course accuse him of caving. According to more from Axios: But the proposal described to Axios by two sources with direct knowledge — one of whom provided a point-by-point breakdown — would seem to offer a clearer path to a deal . By making this offer, the Trump administration is risking backlash from its allies on the Hill and in Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government and dozens of Republican senators have pushed the administration to maintain red lines on zero nuclear enrichment and the full dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program. Israel and its supporters in the US are going to be furious. But Trump has promised time and again peace and stability in the region through the art of the deal – a message conveyed especially strongly in his Gulf tour last month. Oil prices dropped immediately on the headline… As for Iran's stance, we detailed earlier in the day that amid ongoing nuclear negotiations, Iran has demanded that the United States clarify precisely how sanctions will be lifted and which ones. A statement said that any new agreement on Tehran's nuclear program would be conditioned on significant and immediate sanctions relief. Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmail Baghaei made clear Monday that Tehran won't back off of this reasonable demand, coming days after the US submitted what it called an 'acceptable' proposal. Baghaei stressed the need for transparent and firm guarantees regarding the 'real end of the sanctions' which would also feature details on 'how and through what mechanism' they would be dismantled. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has said in a statement. 'Special Envoy Witkoff has sent a detailed and acceptable proposal to the Iranian regime, and it's in their best interest to accept it.'

US & China's Combined GDP Equals 184 Countries
The U.S. and China are in the midst of their second trade war in seven years. Earlier this year President Trump announced an initial 34% 'reciprocal' tariff rate on China, leading to a swift Chinese retaliation. For a brief period, both crossed into 100% territory (i.e., more than the entire cost of the goods itself). Experts cautioned that the resulting chaos could wipe off hundreds of billions from both economies and financial markets saw a swift downturn in response. Since then, tariff rates have come down: varying between 40–50% on Chinese goods entering the U.S. and 10–30% on U.S. products entering China. In this chart, Visual Capitalist's Pallavi Rao compares the combined GDP of the U.S. and China versus everyone else, using April 2025 data from the International Monetary Fund. The latest estimates for 2025 have America's and China's combined GDP at roughly $50 trillion. Of the two, the U.S. is much larger, at about $31 trillion, with China at $19 trillion.

The Tide Is Turning Against The Transgender Takeover Of Women's Sports
In February, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transgender athletes (men pretending to be women) from participation in publicly funded women's sporting events. 'We will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls. From now on, women's sports will be only for women,' Trump said at the signing ceremony, standing at a podium flanked by female athletes. 'With this executive order, the war on women's sports is over.' The shift in public sentiment by the end of 2024 was palpable. The western world was being force fed a steady diet of trans propaganda that bordered on worship. The public could not go anywhere without being inundated with LGBT flags and imagery. For a minority that represents less than 1% of the global population, the level of funding and political power behind them has been astonishing. The proclamation that trans people were a special and privileged class and their feelings had to be protected at all costs was simply too much. The campaigns to control American speech, indoctrinate American children in public schools and insert men into women's spaces inspired widespread anger. Trump's order was important in changing the discourse on the transgender issue in political terms, but the grotesque societal stain left behind by a decade-long invasion of transgender ideology into American culture will take a bit more effort to wash out. Don't shine a black light on America's sheets, you won't be happy with what you find. Most critics of men using the trans issue as a way to sneak into women's bathrooms, locker rooms and athletics have noted that women and their families will have to step up and fight back if they ever hope to save female spaces from being dominated by mentally ill dudes in wigs and makeup. A common question throughout the early 2020s was 'When are the women going to speak up and defend themselves?' It seems as though this is finally happening. With women athletes like Riley Gaines leading the charge there has been a noticeable change in tone among women competitors as well as attendees of these sports events. Most transgender participation in sports is happening in a handful of leftist holdout states like California, Oregon, Washington and Maine. However, female athletes and their families have been far less inclined to pretend as if they agree with school policies allowing men to compete. One trans athlete, Ada Gallagher (a boy pretending to be a girl), said he and his family are planning to move to Canada because of the backlash. Ada crushed his female competition in the Oregon State Championship for track and was met with boos from the crowd. This has inspired the young man and his family to leave the country (instead of simply competing in men's sports as he should). In California a trans athlete named AB Hernandez (male pretending to be female) dominated the high jump in the high school track and field competition. The man took the 1st place podium for photos only to be met with silence. The second place was met with exuberant cheers. Female athletes are also refusing to take to the podium when men are allowed to compete and win in events. Watch this. Two female athletes in Oregon refused to stand on the podium because a boy was awarded a place. Girls have had enough. — Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) May 31, 2025 In other cases, the audience outright boos male competitors when they win women's events. Click here to read more…
