President Donald Trump is sending a blistering message to any foreigner daring to cross the U.S. border illegally: you will be cuffed, deported and your face might end up plastered on the White House lawn for the world to see.

On Monday, the White House driveway was transformed into a grim gallery of 100 mugshot-style posters, each screaming “ARRESTED” above the faces of illegal immigrants nabbed in Trump’s first 100 days.
The charges listed are a rogues’ gallery of horrors — murder, child rape, fentanyl trafficking — meant to sear one point into the public’s mind: Trump’s back, and he’s not playing.

“White House lawn looks a little different this AM,” Trump administration spokesperson Kaelan Dorr said in an X post.
“And they say yard signs don’t win elections…”

The contrast between Trump’s iron-fisted border policies and Biden’s open-door disaster is staggering.

Under Biden, the southern border was less a barrier and more a welcome mat, an open-border experiment that plunged the U.S. into chaos.
According to the House Committee on Homeland Security, from January 2021 to April 2024, U.S. Border Patrol recorded over 7.8 million illegal migrant encounters at the southern border, with 2023 alone seeing a record 2.5 million.
In Biden’s first four months in 2021, U.S. Border Patrol recorded over 711,000 migrant encounters at the southwest border, a tsunami of illegal crossings fueled by lax policies.
Fast-forward to Trump’s second term, and the first four months of 2025 saw encounters plummet to under 150,000 — a jaw-dropping 79% drop.

President Trump didn’t need a bill.
Trump’s reinstatement of “Remain in Mexico” and Title 42 expulsions slammed the brakes on illegal immigration, while Biden’s reversal of these policies triggered chaos
Biden’s team didn’t just let them in—they rolled out the red carpet. His administration infamously handed out yellow envelopes stuffed with cash and travel documents to illegal immigrants, boarding them on domestic flights to settle deep in America’s heartland.
From 2021 to 2023, over 2.3 million migrants were released into the U.S., many with taxpayer-funded assistance, as part of a catch-and-release scheme that enraged border hawks.

This wasn’t border management; it was an invitation to overrun the country.
Activist judges are hellbent on throwing wrenches into Trump's deportation machine, with two even arrested for aiding illegal immigrants in evading ICE.
On Friday, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest.

Dugan was arrested hours after federal authorities arrested former New Mexico Judge Joel Cano and his wife Nancy Cano for allegedly housing a Venezuelan national with reported gang ties.
During Trump’s first term, Democrats waged a relentless war to paint him as a racist for his immigration policies.
They vilified his border wall as a symbol of hate, refusing to fund the $5.7 billion he requested in 2019, sparking a government shutdown.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the wall “immoral,” while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer dismissed it as ineffective.
Their obstruction left the border vulnerable, setting the stage for Biden’s catastrophic policies that turned the border into a free-for-all.
At a Monday briefing, Trump’s designated "Border Czar" Tom Homan declared the border more secure than ever, touting a 94.8 % drop in illegal crossings since Biden’s final days.
Homan underscored the administration’s aggressive stance on curbing illegal immigration and its associated threats, particularly focusing on the flow of fentanyl across the U.S. border.
“We've got to ensure that not one ounce of fentanyl comes across the border to kill Americans... it's an emergency until we shut it down. It's an emergency until the cartels are wiped off the face of this earth. President Trump is [committed to this effort],” Homan declared, warning that the issue is a national crisis.
The border czar outlined the administration’s deportation priorities, emphasizing the removal of individuals deemed public safety or national security risks.
“I'll retire when every public safety threat, national security threat, child rapist [is removed from the country],” Homan stated, signaling a long-term commitment to the policy.
“If you're in the country illegally...we will prosecute you, you will go to jail, and we will deport you.”
