🇺🇸 Trump Unveils Reverse Migration Plan

In partnership with

Happy Thanksgiving, Patriots!

President Donald Trump delivered his most uncompromising immigration message yet on Thursday night, vowing a sweeping reversal of all migration from “third-world countries” after a West Virginia National Guard soldier died from Wednesday’s D.C. terror attack.

Trump confirmed that 20-year-old Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom had succumbed to her wounds, while 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition. The attacker — an Afghan national resettled in the U.S. after Biden’s 2021 withdrawal — sparked a furious response from the president.

In a blistering late-night post, Trump blasted the nation’s 53 million-strong foreign-born population figures, slammed Minnesota’s ongoing Somali welfare scandals, and excoriated state leaders.

He then vowed to “permanently pause” migration from third-world nations, cancel Biden-era admissions, and deport foreign nationals who “do not love our Country.”

Have a happy and joy-filled Thanksgiving! Keep scrolling below for the rest of today’s Trump headlines!

President Trump used a late-night Thanksgiving post on Truth Social to announce what he called a "reverse migration" plan that will permanently halt immigration from Third World countries and sweep away millions of Biden-era admissions. Trump said his administration would pause all migration from nations he labels Third World, revoke what he claimed were millions of Biden-era entries including those signed by Biden's autopen, and remove foreign nationals he deems public charges, security risks, or incompatible with Western civilization.

Trump also announced on Thanksgiving that the U.S. will very soon begin stopping suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers by land after having already stopped about 85 percent of narcotics coming by sea. The war on drug trafficking has reached a boiling point as Trump makes it central to his broader effort to combat violent crime terrorizing American communities.

🔔 Trump Unveils Reverse Migration Plan 🔔

President Trump laid out his most comprehensive immigration overhaul yet in a Thanksgiving night Truth Social post, pledging a permanent halt to immigration from Third World countries and a sweeping rollback of Biden-era admissions. Trump said his administration would pause all migration from nations he labels Third World, revoke what he claimed were millions of Biden-era admissions including those signed by Biden's autopen, and remove foreign nationals he deems public charges, security risks, or incompatible with Western civilization. The announcement came just hours after Trump announced that National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, 20, of West Virginia, had died from wounds sustained in Wednesday's attack near the White House. The second service member wounded in the attack, Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains fighting for his life. The suspected gunman, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, who entered the U.S. legally in 2021 under humanitarian parole as part of Biden's Operation Allies Welcome, is also in serious condition.

Trump argued that the U.S. immigration system has been overwhelmed and said his approach would allow it to fully recover. He vowed to end federal benefits for noncitizens, denaturalize migrants accused of undermining domestic tranquility, and expand deportations. Trump ended his social media post with a stern warning: "Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won't be here for long!" The dramatic policy announcement reflects Trump's determination to fundamentally reshape American immigration after the deadly attack exposed the catastrophic failures of Biden's vetting processes.

Trump also issued his official Thanksgiving Day proclamation declaring that America offers its "endless gratitude to Almighty God." The proclamation began by highlighting President George Washington's establishment of a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1789, when Washington declared it "the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor." Trump also noted President Abraham Lincoln's call during the Civil War for "a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."

Trump invoked God heavily in his proclamation, writing that "this year, God has bestowed abundant blessings all across our land and indeed the entire world." He continued that as Americans give thanks to God, they continue to advance the nation through strong leadership and commonsense policy, with the American economy roaring back, progress on lowering the cost of living, a new era of peace sweeping around the world, sovereignty being swiftly restored, and the American spirit coming back greater and more powerful than ever before.

The Department of Homeland Security announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian migrants living in the United States, with the 353,000 Haitian migrants who currently hold TPS seeing their status expire in February. After consulting with interagency partners, Secretary Kristi Noem concluded that Haiti no longer meets the statutory requirements for TPS, with the decision based on a review conducted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, input from relevant U.S. government agencies, and an analysis indicating that allowing Haitian nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is inconsistent with U.S. national interests.

DHS told Haitian migrants under TPS to prepare to depart if they have no other lawful basis for remaining in the United States. The agency advised them to use the CBP Home mobile application to report their departure, describing the secure and convenient self-deportation process that includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and potential future opportunities for legal immigration to the United States. Haiti was first granted TPS in 2010 after an earthquake and has been repeatedly extended or redesignated by successive administrations, with Biden's administration extending TPS for Haitians in 2024 citing simultaneous economic, security, political, and health crises in the country fueled by gangs and a lack of functioning government.

Afghan migrants and progressive activists immediately protested Trump's decision to block the entry of all Afghan nationals following Wednesday's attack. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a statement saying "Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols. The protection and safety of our homeland and of the American people remains our singular focus and mission."

The attack and entry freeze came six days after USCIS began re-verifying the bona fides of migrants invited to the United States by pro-migration officials in Biden's administration, with roughly 85,000 Afghans including the gunman imported by Biden's pro-migrant deputies. Progressive writer Jill Filopivic called the freeze "collective identity-based punishment and not how any fair processes should work." Shawn VanDiver, head of AfghanEvec which lobbies for more Afghan migration, said "This individual alone is responsible for his actions" and argued the individual's isolated violent act should not be used as an excuse to define or diminish an entire community.

The disastrous vetting failures trace back to Biden administration officials who admitted they rushed Afghans into America without proper screening. In November 2021, then-DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted to Congress that not every Afghan national brought to the U.S. following the withdrawal had been vetted in person, telling senators "We are not conducting in-person, refugee interviews of 100 percent individuals." An email from October 2021 from a U.S. diplomat confirmed that orders to get Afghan nationals as quickly to the U.S. as possible without following standard refugee vetting procedures came directly from Biden.

The email revealed Biden phoned Ambassador Wilson with directives including that anyone with a valid form of ID should be given permission to board evacuation flights if the person plausibly falls into evacuation categories, that families including women and children should be allowed through and held to fill out planes, and that total inflow to the U.S. must exceed the number of seats available with instructions to err on the side of excess. In September 2021, then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken also admitted before a Senate hearing that vetting was unlikely to have occurred for thousands of Afghan nationals before they boarded planes to the U.S., conceding when asked what percentage were vetted before getting on planes to leave Kabul, "Certainly not, most of them were not."

📄 The Department of Justice asked a federal judge for permission to release records and notes related to Jeffrey Epstein. Prosecutors requested that Judge Paul Engelmayer lift the protective order covering evidence provided to Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team before her trial and asked that these materials be released pursuant to the newly enacted Epstein Files Transparency Act signed recently by Trump. Material currently under the protective order includes search warrants, financial and travel records, flight manifests, government and police reports, arrest records, booking photos, civil investigation depositions, Epstein estate documents, and third-party interview notes including those from victims. The department emphasized that any released records will include redactions to protect victims' identities.

👜 A Chilean national pleaded guilty to multiple thefts in Washington D.C., including stealing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's purse while she was dining at a restaurant last spring. Mario Bustamante Leiva pleaded guilty to three counts: wire fraud, aiding and abetting, and first-degree theft. Noem's purse contained roughly $3,000 in cash, her passport, DHS badge, credit cards, and other personal items. Under the plea agreement, he will be removable from the United States after completing his sentence, with prosecutors saying federal guidelines call for between six months and three and a half years in prison. Noem reacted to the theft by calling the suspect "a career criminal who has been in our country illegally for years."

💉 West Virginia officials suspended a school vaccination mandate after a judge ruled that parents can cite religious beliefs to opt out of vaccines required for their children to attend classes. Raleigh County Circuit Judge Michael Froble issued a permanent injunction ruling that children of families who object to the state's compulsory vaccination law on religious grounds will be allowed to attend school and participate in extracurricular sports. The judge said a state policy barring parents from seeking religious exemptions violates the Equal Protection for Religion Act signed into law in 2023. Froble certified the case as a class action involving 570 families who had sought and received religious exemptions in other parts of the state, noting the total number of exemptions involved a small fraction of the statewide student population and would not meaningfully reduce vaccination rates or increase health risks.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Angel Families released a powerful new video expressing gratitude to Trump for his tough stance on immigration enforcement. The 11-minute video featuring more than a dozen Angel Families thanking Trump and his administration was released in honor of Thanksgiving. Joe Abraham, whose daughter Katie was killed in a drunk-driving accident caused by an illegal immigrant, thanked the president for prioritizing border security and keeping communities safe. Anne Fundner, who lost her 15-year-old son Weston to fentanyl poisoning, called Trump "the greatest president America has ever had." Agnes Gibboney, whose son Ronald Da Silva was murdered by an illegal immigrant in California in 2002, thanked Trump for his "courage, strength, determination, and love for our country."

💰 Cook County in Illinois unanimously approved $7.5 million to make a guaranteed basic income pilot program permanent. Economic Security Illinois Director Sarah Saheb described the pilot as a "historic success" and said when the federal government was "stepping back from its responsibilities to working families, Cook County is leading the way to ensure people can afford basic necessities." Survey findings released in April showed three-quarters of participants reported feeling more financially secure and 94 percent used funds to address financial emergencies, with majorities reporting the program improved their mental health and lowered stress levels. The Illinois Policy Institute criticized the decision, saying "Cook County is making its guaranteed income pilot permanent and committing millions to a failed strategy already shown to leave people with less work experience and lower earnings."

God bless,
