Trump’s DHS touts massive number of illegal immigrants deported as Dems lash out at ICE
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Department of Homeland Security is touting new data showing that the nation’s illegal immigrant population has plummeted by 1.6 million people since January.
The statistics, from the Center for Immigration Studies, indicate that self-deportations are driving the trend. The federal government has provided financial incentives for illegal immigrants to leave and has run advertisements telling them they can only apply to return if they leave voluntarily.
«In less than 200 days, 1.6 MILLION illegal immigrants have left the United States population,» DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement on Thursday. «This is massive. This means safer streets, taxpayer savings, pressure off of schools and hospital services and better job opportunities for Americans. Thank you, President Trump!»
The agency says over 1 million people have opted for self-deportation through the CBP Home app. DHS began offering $1,000 and free travel out of the United States to those seeking to leave the country on their own and who do not have a criminal background outside of their immigration status.

Meanwhile, Washington, D.C., is becoming an example from the Trump administration to sanctuary cities around the country, as Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered that officers cooperate with federal immigration authorities and put Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terry Cole in an oversight role of the police force.
«I sent out 33 letters to mayors around this country. I think three or four of them were in California alone. Not surprising. I sent out letters to all of these mayors and to the governors saying, «You must comply.’ we want to know what you’re doing to comply with our federal government,» Bondi said on «Hannity» on Thursday night.
Tensions are high between Democratic leadership and federal law enforcement in sanctuary cities, as there were immigration authorities outside Gov. Gavin Newsom’s rally in Los Angeles on Thursday, and at least one arrest was made by U.S. Border Patrol.

Some New York City leaders are also making critical comparisons to rebuke the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
«When I look at the visuals of ICE agents masked on the street, taking people from their homes, taking people who are rightfully showing up for court. It reminds me of something that some of my ancestors had to go through, which is the KKK,» New York City Council Member Nantasha Williams said this week.

Many Democrats have likened ICE agents to Nazis since Trump took office.
«I’m gonna start with the flashing red light — Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets,» former vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said in May. «They’re in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons. No chance to mount a defense. Not even a chance to kiss a loved one goodbye. Just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared.»
«I don’t know of any police department that routinely wears masks. We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks. NSC-131 routinely wears masks,» Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said in June, referencing a neo-Nazi group.
DHS says that ICE agents are facing a 1,000% increase in assaults since last year.
«We will not and have not let this violence stop us or slow us down. Everyday our law enforcement continues to enforce the law and arrest the most depraved criminals including pedophiles, terrorists, murderers, gang members, and sexual predators,» Noem stated earlier this month as ICE seeks to hire thousands of more agents.
President Trump is touting the immigration crackdown, as the administration says the efforts to remove illegal immigrants from the country will lead to less of a strain on public resources.

«We want to stop crime. I think if the Democrats aren’t strong on this issue, they won’t be able to do it. I think this is a bigger issue than all of the other ridiculous things that like open borders,» he said Thursday.

Reino Unido inició misiones aéreas defensivas en apoyo de los Emiratos Árabes y derribó drones iraníes en varias zonas de Medio Oriente
Aviones de combate del Reino Unido iniciaron misiones aéreas defensivas en apoyo de Emiratos Árabes Unidos y derribaron drones en distintas zonas de Medio Oriente en medio de la guerra regional, informó el lunes el Ministerio de Defensa británico.
El ministro de Defensa, John Healey, confirmó ante el Parlamento la participación de cazas británicos en operaciones de defensa aérea. “El Reino Unido está realizando misiones aéreas defensivas en apoyo de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos”, declaró el funcionario.
Healey indicó que aviones Typhoon interceptaron y destruyeron dos drones durante las operaciones. “Los tifones derribaron con éxito dos drones, uno sobre Jordania y el segundo en dirección a Bahréin”, afirmó.
El anuncio coincidió con la llegada de más bombarderos estadounidenses B-52 a la base aérea británica de Fairford, en el suroeste de Inglaterra. Periodistas de AFP observaron el lunes el aterrizaje de nuevos aparatos, después de que el primero llegara el viernes.
La base de Fairford constituye uno de los puntos clave que el Reino Unido puso a disposición de Estados Unidos para operaciones vinculadas al conflicto. La otra instalación es la base de Diego García, situada en el océano Índico.
Según explicó Healey, el gobierno británico autorizó el uso de ambas instalaciones para misiones concretas de carácter defensivo. El ministro señaló que estas operaciones tienen como objetivo neutralizar misiles iraníes en su punto de lanzamiento.
Mientras Londres refuerza su actividad militar en la región, el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores anunció medidas de seguridad para su personal diplomático en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. La cancillería comunicó que retirará temporalmente a los familiares del personal de la embajada.
El organismo explicó que la decisión responde a una medida preventiva en medio de la escalada regional. A pesar de esa medida, el gobierno británico informó que sus representaciones diplomáticas en el país continuarán funcionando con normalidad.
Las dos embajadas británicas en Emiratos, ubicadas en Abu Dhabi y Dubái, mantendrán sus operaciones. Las autoridades no anunciaron la suspensión de servicios consulares.
El conflicto también generó problemas de transporte para ciudadanos británicos en la región. Se estima que miles de personas del Reino Unido permanecen en Emiratos Árabes Unidos debido a la interrupción de vuelos comerciales provocada por la guerra.
El ministro Healey informó al Parlamento que más de 170.000 personas registraron su presencia en Medio Oriente ante el gobierno británico. El registro forma parte del sistema de asistencia a ciudadanos en zonas de crisis. El funcionario indicó además que tres vuelos chárter despegaron hasta ahora para evacuar personas desde la región.
El Reino Unido también envió medios militares adicionales al Mediterráneo oriental. Helicópteros Wildcat y Merlin llegaron a Chipre como parte de las medidas de refuerzo adoptadas por Londres.
Healey anunció además el despliegue de un buque de guerra con capacidad de defensa aérea. El HMS Dragon zarpará hacia el Mediterráneo oriental “en los próximos días”, afirmó el ministro. La decisión surgió tras críticas del gobierno chipriota, que cuestionó la velocidad de la respuesta británica para reforzar la defensa de la isla.
En paralelo, el gobierno británico negó que exista una decisión para desplegar un portaaviones en la región. Downing Street rechazó versiones sobre el envío del HMS Prince of Wales al escenario del conflicto.
Un portavoz del primer ministro Keir Starmer señaló que el buque permanece en estado de alerta. “El HMS Prince of Wales siempre ha estado en máxima alerta”, declaró.
El funcionario explicó que el Ministerio de Defensa tomó medidas para aumentar la preparación del portaaviones. “El Ministerio de Defensa está aumentando la preparación del portaaviones, reduciendo el tiempo que tardaría en zarpar para cualquier despliegue, pero no se ha tomado ninguna decisión sobre su despliegue”, afirmó.

FBI subpoenas 2020 Arizona voting docs as federal push into election administration widens
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An Arizona state lawmaker revealed Monday that federal authorities subpoenaed him for records related to the 2020 election, marking the second publicly confirmed jurisdiction the Department of Justice is investigating over the matter.
Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, a Republican, said in a social media post he received the subpoena for material related to the state Senate’s 2020 audit last week and complied with it.
«Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate’s 2020 audit of Maricopa County,» Petersen wrote. «The FBI has the records. Any other report is fake news.»
The request represents an expansion of a federal probe tied to 2020 after the DOJ initially targeted Fulton County, Georgia. The development also comes as President Donald Trump has grown increasingly outspoken about election security in the lead-up to the 2026 midterms, renewing his attention on disputes stemming from the last presidential race.

Petersen made the revelation after President Donald Trump shared a Just the News report about the subpoena on Truth Social, writing, «Great!!! FBI secretly seizes election records from Arizona’s largest county as voting probe expands.»
Multiple U.S. officials confirmed the election probe to Fox News, saying the DOJ is looking at a large tranche of Arizona data from 2020 and 2024.

The White House directed Fox News Digital to the FBI on Monday when asked for comment. The FBI declined to comment.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, an elected Democrat, said the new investigation was based on claims that courts and state investigators have proven wrong.
«What the Trump administration appears to be pursuing now is not a legitimate law enforcement inquiry,» Mayes said in a statement. «It is the weaponization of federal law enforcement in service of crackpots and lies.»

The subpoena comes as the president increasingly focuses on election security ahead of the 2026 midterms, telling Congress in a social media post on Sunday that he will not sign any legislation into law until it passes the SAVE America Act.
The bill’s primary purpose is to require voters nationwide to show physical identification to prove citizenship to vote in federal elections. The version of the bill Trump is pushing would also ban mail-in ballots except for the military and in other extenuating circumstances.

Maricopa, Arizona’s most populous county, was a hotbed for accusations of voter fraud in 2020. Fulton County, Georgia, faced similar accusations, with the DOJ launching a separate investigation into the 2020 election earlier this year.
Trump lost Arizona in 2020 by about 0.3 percentage points. The president refused to concede, and his legal team brought a series of lawsuits alleging vote-counting irregularities, but none were successful.
