Camp Of The Saints

On Sunday, CBS News’ Margaret Brennan tried to get one over on Vice President J.D. Vance, badgering him about immigration and claiming “this is a country founded by immigrants.” But this narrative isn’t just inaccurate, it’s a calculated lie intentionally pushed to justify radical open border policies that threaten to dismantle the very country our Founders built.

Vance held his own, refuting the baseless claim by noting the country was founded “by some immigrants and some settlers” and that such a founding is not a “get-out-of-jail” free card for having the “dumbest immigration policy in the world.”

And Vance is right.

The White House claimed victory in a showdown with Colombia over accepting flights of deported migrants from the U.S. on Sunday, hours after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs on imports and other sanctions on the longtime U.S. partner.

Long close partners in anti-narcotics efforts, the U.S. and Colombia clashed Sunday over the deportation of migrants and imposed tariffs on each other’s goods in a show of what other countries could face if they intervene in the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have been directed by Trump officials to aggressively ramp up the number of people they arrest, from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500, because the president has been disappointed with the results of his mass deportation campaign so far, according to four people with knowledge of the briefings.

The quotas were outlined Saturday in a call with senior ICE officials, who were told that each of the agency’s field offices should make 75 arrests per day and managers would be held accountable for missing those targets. The four people spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal briefings.

Vice President J.D. Vance, a Catholic man, is disappointed that a group of U.S. Bishops are speaking out over a new order allowing immigration enforcement to conduct raids at churches.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order that removes protections from sensitive places like churches and schools.

This allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other law enforcement officials can conduct raids and apprehend undocumented immigrants from those venues.

Colombian president Gustavo Petro announced on Sunday that he had blocked US military aircraft carrying deported Colombians as part of Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown from landing in his country.

Mexico had also reportedly refused to receive a similar flight on Saturday, according to US officials cited by Reuters and NBC News.

In a post on Twitter/X, Colombia’s leftist leader wrote: “A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity that every human being deserves.

Border czar Tom Homan had a simple message for the Haitian gangster who defiantly yelled “F–k Trump, Biden forever!” and how he was “not going back to Haiti” when he was picked up during immigration raids.

“Well, he’s wrong. He’s going back to Haiti, I can tell you that,” Homan told Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show” with a smile as he was played the now-viral clip.

Mexico’s government is reportedly preparing for President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts by erecting tent cities along the southern border to house those who are removed from the United States.
