tren de aragua is the Venezuelan gang of violent criminals who, during the Biden years, managed to get enough of their members across our nonexistent southern border to start operating in an estimated 23 states.
ms-13 is an El Salvador-based criminal enterprise very much like tren de aragua. It also has gained a significant foothold in a number of areas around the country (Long Island, New York being one of them).
That, by itself, should be lead-story material in every news medium, whether print tv or radio.
But since most of our mainstream media have spent years effortfully protecting/defending Biden, his puppeteers and his congressional cheerleaders, most people barely knew about this.
But now Donald Trump is President. And he is determined to rid the country of tren de aragua.
To that end, Immigration/Customs Enforcement (ICE), under Trump-appointed Tom Homan, arrested two planeloads of mostly tren de aragua and ms-13 members, and was deporting them, by plane, out of the country – using the very old, but entirely applicable, 1789 Alien Enemies Act.
(NOTE: In my opinion, ANYTHING that rids us of illegal aliens who are engaged in criminal activity, including acts of violence, is fine with me.)
But wait. That can’t be happening. After all, it makes Donald Trump look like he’s keeping a campaign promise, doesn’t it? So what was the opposition going to do about it?
Enter radical-leftist judge/Biden appointee US District Judge james boasberg.
boasberg decided it would be a great idea to rule that Trump could not get rid of these violent, criminal illegals. He put up a 14 day restraining order that – believe it or not – instructed the President of the United States that “Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States however that is accomplished.”
In other words, based on some obscure district court judge’s ruling, the President of the United States was supposed to be overruled on federal law — and the two planeloads of violent illegal alien gang members were supposed to turn around and bring this human sewage back to the USA.
Well, the planes continued on, and the detritus they carried is no longer in our country.
GOOD!!! If Judge boasberg doesn’t like it, let’s see him do something about it. I can’t wait for him to argue that a district court judge supersedes federal law. I need the belly laugh.
Now, let’s talk about the political implications.
Politically speaking, it is no surprise that Republicans are jubilant over Trump’s/Homan’s actions. And, I would bet body parts, the vast majority of citizens regardless of their political leanings – are just as jubilant.
But Democrat responses? They have ranged from conspicuous silence, to attacks on Trump for deporting the gang members.
Are they nuts???????
According to NBC News’ latest polling, in November of last year, 27% of the country thought it was heading on the right track. Now? after less than 2 months of what Trump is doing that has risen to 44% – the highest in 21 years.
And Democrats have opposed just about everything Trump & Co. have done – up to and including the tren de aragua/ms-13 deportations. In other words, they are against precisely the actions that are raising those “right track” numbers.
If this isn’t a political suicide pact, what is?
