Fox News recently obtained some Immigration and Customs Enforcement data that could be useful to Tom “The Hammer”, the incoming border czar.
EXCLUSIVE: Internal ICE data obtained by @FoxNews reveals the nationalities of the more than 1.4 million illegal immigrants in the US who have been ordered deported by a DOJ immigration judge, but are still in the US and are not in ICE custody. They include:
China 37,908

Exclusive: Internal ICE Data obtained by @FoxNews reveals nationalities of more than 1.4 million illegal immigrants who are in the US, have been ordered to be deported by a DOJ Immigration Judge but are still there and not in ICE custody. These include:
- China 37.908
- Haiti 32,363
- Iran 2,618
- Pakistan 7,760
- Uzbekistan 975
- Venezuela 22,749
- Afghanistan 1,708
- Mauritania 3,822
- India 17,940
- Brazil 38,677
Nearly 38,000 Chinese Communists? The majority of Chinese illegals that we’ve seen in different reports are young men who have not been married. This number of 38,000 is about the same as three infantry divisions. It doesn’t require a mastery of geopolitics for you to see that this list contains a large number of people who are from countries not friendly to the United States. Some of them are refugees, but 2,618 Iranians? Is Iran the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism? What do we know of these people and what are their activities?
The majority of illegal immigrants still originate from Latin America. From a deportation perspective, this seems like low-hanging fruit:
Most of the illegal immigrants who have been ordered to be deported come from Mexico and the Northern Triangle, which are easy to remove. This will likely serve as a base for mass deportations by the Trump administration along with violent criminals and public safety threats.
- El Salvador 203,822
- Honduras 261,651
- Guatemala 253,413
- Mexico 252,044
Illegally present. They need to return home. Some nations won’t take their citizens back.
The ICE data gives an official list as well of “recalcitrant countries”, countries who refuse to deport their own citizens and don’t want to cooperate with the US. These are:
Bhutan, Burma, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Laos, Pakistan, China, Russia, Somalia, and Venezuela.
Too bad. Have some U.S. marshals give each of these people one-way tickets to their countries of origin. They should be escorted on board by Marshals, and perhaps an Air Marshal to ensure they exit at the other end. Then, it’s no longer our problem. We never should have had to deal with them, but we must start somewhere.
Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 elections was largely due to his ability to control the Charlie Foxtrot of border security and illegal migration. Homan seems like the perfect man to push this process forward. We can see now where the new DHS chief needs to start.
The next two years are going to be very interesting.
