Donald Trump flaunts immigration success in striking image as White House lawn covered with pics of ‘arrested illegals'
PRESIDENT Donald Trump has flaunted his administration's success with its crackdown on illegal immigration using lawn signs of reported arrested criminals. Photos of a lengthy line of signs placed along the White House lawn on Monday morning have caused quite a stir. 6 6 6 6 "And they say yard signs don't win elections..." Trump official Kaelan Dorr wrote in reaction to the yard signs on X. The signs included the faces of some of the worst criminals that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents arrested during Trump's first 100 days in office, a White House official told the New York Post. The signs included a photo of the alleged offenders along with the word "arrested" and the type of crime they were accused of. Some of the crimes included murder, rape and sexual assault of a child. The lawn display came as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan celebrated the administration's accomplishments as they near 100 days in office. Leavitt told reporters Monday morning that attempted illegal crossings into the U.S. at the southern border hit record lows in February and March. She said that US Border Patrol encountered just over 7,000 illegal immigrants this past March. This is a 95% decrease from the 140,000 illegal immigrants that border agents encountered in March 2024 when former President Joe Biden was in office, according to Leavitt. Leavitt said the Trump administration is "working 24/7 to successfully arrest and deport" criminals living in the US illegally. The spokeswoman added that nearly 800 illegal immigrants were arrested during a massive four-day ICE raid in Florida last week. Trump to send 30,000 criminal illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay as he taunts 'it's a tough place to get out' "Operation Tidal Wave" targeted illegal immigrants with final deportation orders, an ICE official told The New York Times. On Sunday, the Rocky Mountain Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) posted a video of an "underground nightclub" raid they led with their "local and federal partners." Officials said on X that the Homeland Security Department took over 100 illegal immigrants into custody and seized drugs and weapons during the Colorado Springs operation. Law enforcement can be seen breaking a window and telling nightclub goers to not move as they ran out with their hands up. 6 6 When Homan took the podium in the White House press briefing room on Monday, he shared more shocking statistics comparing immigration under the Biden administration to that of Trump's second term. Homan said that some days under Biden saw as many as 15,000 illegal crossings into the US. "You know what the number was the last 24 hours? 178," the border czar said. One reporter asked later on during the press briefing why there is still a national emergency at the southern border if illegal crossings are at a record-low number. Homan answered the question by talking about the damage drug cartels and gangs have done to American lives through the trafficking of fentanyl and violent crimes. "We gotta ensure that not one ounce of fentanyl comes across the border to kill Americans," he said. "The president has declared the cartels in Mexico a terrorist organization along with MS-13 and TdA [Tren de Aragua]. "It's an emergency until the cartels are wiped off the face of this Earth," Homan added. The border czar said firmly, "This is a border emergency until we end it. End all of it."

Braless Kylie Jenner puts on a VERY busty display in a daringly plunging top before slipping into skin-tight workout gear for sizzling social media post
Kylie Jenner put on an eye-popping display as she showcased her ample cleavage in her latest sizzling social media posts on Sunday. The influencer, 27, left very little to the imagination as she went braless beneath a daringly plunging black top while promoting her latest fragrance Cosmic 2.0. Kylie looked gorgeous with flawless make-up and her dark locks in loose waves as she gushed over the scent before lathering herself in it. The mother-of-two later flaunted more of her jaw-dropping physique as she slipped into skin-tight ALO workout gear and posed up a storm in a slew of racy snaps. Kylie once again showed off her assets as well as her incredibly toned abs in a skimpy black and white bralet with matching leggings which hugged every curve. She oozed confidence in front of the camera and soaked up the sun on a balcony over looking lavish grounds. The stunner later flaunted her entire physique as she slipped into skin-tight out ALO work out gear and posed up in a slew of racy snaps It comes just days after Kylie her soul about being 'lonely' and 'crying' over her hairstylist Jesus Guerrero, three months after his death aged 34. Jesus, whose celebrity clientele included Kylie and Jennifer Lopez, died at a hospital in Los Angeles shortly after working with Lopez in Dubai. His devastated sister Gris announced on February 22 that she had lost her brother 'very suddenly and unexpectedly' that day. At the start of this month, while his family were still waiting for autopsy results to come back, Gris shared he was diagnosed with gastritis in the months before he died. Now Kylie has shared her reflections on how she is coping with her grief - alongside a heartrending throwback video of her and Jesus in a hotel room last autumn. The video showed a curtain that looked as though it had been braided, as Kylie joked: 'Did you just do the curtain's hair?' and Jesus said: 'Yeah, I got bored.' The post was prompted by a recent episode of Kylie's Hulu series The Kardashians, in which her half-sister Khloe Kardashian told her she 'looked cute' at the CFDA Fashion Awards last October, and Kylie said: 'B****, I looked major.' As the moment went viral, Kylie looked back and found a clip of her hairstyling session with Jesus for the glamorous event. The mother-of-two later flaunted more of her jaw-dropping physique as she slipped into skin-tight ALO workout gear and posed up a storm in a slew of racy snaps In the caption she branded herself an ALO Girl She dated the video October 28, 2024 and wrote: 'Found this video from that day. I thought I could get through today without crying, but the ache of missing you hit all over again. Grief isn't getting easier it's just getting lonelier.' Kylie heartbreakingly continued: 'I miss you so much. Why aren't you here. every first without you hurts sm,' and concluded by tagging his Instagram. The post comes more than three weeks after Gris shed light on her brother's medical history in the year leading up to his death. 'He was diagnosed with gastritis months back, but it was never anything to get that bad. So we don't know if that was a part of it,' she told Us Weekly. Gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach lining, can be the result of severe stress, medications, alcohol, diet, smoking, other illnesses, or even the knock-on effects of burns or major operations, among many potential factors. Symptoms can include nausea and vomiting, pain or a burning feeling in the stomach, abdominal bleeding or appetite loss, according to Johns Hopkins. Gris shared that it 'seems to be the case' that her brother lost 20lbs leading up to his death, based on the 'paperwork' she has been able to read. 'We think it could have been something with his stomach,' she said, noting that his family knew 'that he couldn't eat without it being painful' in his final days. Guerrero was buried in his native Houston, Texas on Sunday over a month after his death, with both Jenner and Lopez in attendance, TMZ reports. Gris had previously confirmed in a GoFundMe update on February 25 that the 27-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder offered to cover his 'funeral expenses and offering up all her help and support.' 'She has told us anything we need. Jesus was family to her, and she was family to him,' Gris told Us Weekly the same day. 'She has kept an open line. Anything we need, any questions we have, she has been there for us. She wants his memory to be honored and wants to do as much as she can so he gets the farewell he deserves.' As for the $96K the family raised from an $80K goal, Guerrero said the GoFundMe money 'will go toward the costs associated with securing his belongings home as well as other unexpected expenses to settle his assets.' Kylie called Jesus 'a true artist' whom she 'loved so much' in her tribute, gushing: 'Jesus was more than my friend - he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support. I don't know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter.'
