White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a fiery defense of President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation efforts this week, slamming congressional Democrats for withholding critical funding and left-wing judges for obstructing immigration enforcement. Despite the administration’s swift action—deporting over 100,000 illegal aliens since January—Leavitt made it clear that the scale of the crisis demands far more drastic measures. With an estimated 20 million illegal immigrants flooding into the U.S. under the Biden regime, the Trump administration is fighting an uphill battle against a radical judiciary and a Democrat Party hell-bent on preserving its open-border agenda.
“We suspect it’s definitely in the millions and perhaps upwards of 20 million people that were allowed into the country illegally by the previous administration,” Leavitt stated, exposing the catastrophic failure of Biden’s policies. She emphasized that while President Trump is committed to restoring order, his hands are being tied by “rogue district court judges” who have weaponized the bench to shield illegal aliens from deportation. One such example is Biden-appointed Judge Charlotte Sweeney, who issued a temporary restraining order blocking removals in Colorado unless migrants are given 21 days’ notice—a ridiculous loophole that allows criminals to vanish into the interior.
Leavitt didn’t hold back in calling out the deliberate sabotage by the left. “The president’s team has made it clear that we need more funding from Congress to do more, we need more ICE agents out on the ground doing this very important work,” she declared. Yet, Democrats continue to stonewall enforcement efforts, prioritizing illegal immigrants over American citizens.
The press secretary also addressed the glaring national security threat posed by Chinese nationals on student visas, warning that those acting against U.S. interests will face consequences. “If they are acting, again, adversarial to our foreign policy interests, their visa can be revoked, and they should be aware of that,” Leavitt asserted, reaffirming the administration’s tough stance on foreign adversaries exploiting our immigration system.
While the liberal media downplays the invasion at the southern border, Leavitt’s remarks expose the truth: President Trump is the only leader willing to take decisive action, even as the left throws up every possible roadblock.
