Trump’s administration has unleashed a groundbreaking self-deportation initiative through the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) rebranded CBP Home app, formerly the Biden-era CBP One app. Launched in April 2025, this program targets over 936,500 illegal aliens who entered the U.S. under Biden’s lax parole policies, ordering them to leave immediately or face severe consequences. By incentivizing voluntary departure with a $1,000 stipend and travel assistance, the initiative slashes deportation costs, upholds presidential authority against rogue judges, and aims to avert a Census re-districting and increased House seats in already deep blue zones that could cement an eternal leftwing House majority. Click Here to Act Now! The CBP Home App, a cost-effective game-changer rebranded from CBP One, is the cornerstone of Trump’s self-deportation strategy. Originally launched in 2023 to schedule asylum appointments, CBP One allowed nearly a million migrants to enter the U.S. with temporary parole and work authorization, fueling what DHS calls “the worst border crisis in U.S. history.” On April 8, 2025, DHS revoked parole for these migrants, issuing termination notices via email with a clear ultimatum: self-deport using the CBP Home app or face arrest, deportation, and a permanent reentry ban. DHS estimates that self-deportation costs approximately $4,500 per individual, including the $1,000 stipend and travel assistance. This is a 70% savings compared to traditional deportation, costing a little over $17,000 for apprehension, detention, legal proceedings, and removal. These figures exclude additional taxpayer burdens: state Medicaid expenditures, unpaid hospital bills, housing, education, and other social services, costing taxpayers upwards of $180,000. The carrot of self-deportation is strategic: migrants who comply may preserve eligibility for future legal reentry, a privilege denied to those forcibly removed. DHS emphasizes that self-deportation is “safe” and allows migrants to “leave on their own terms,” avoiding the trauma of arrest and detention. As Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, “This is the safest option for our law enforcement, aliens, and a 70% savings for U.S. taxpayers.” Non-compliance, however, triggers harsh penalties: a $998 daily fine for overstaying a deportation order, potentially accumulating to over $1 million over five years, with property seizures for non-payment. SCOTUS Steps In: Reining in Rogue Judges. A highly anticipated SCOTUS ruling in mid-May is expected to clarify the balance of power, reinforcing that immigration enforcement, including mass deportations, falls squarely within presidential discretion. The Court’s conservative majority is likely to reject lower courts’ attempts to impose injunctions that paralyze executive action, especially given the 1798 Alien Enemies Act’s explicit grant of authority to the President to detain and remove aliens during national security threats. Legal scholars argue that such judicial overreach is unconstitutional, as it encroaches on the President’s plenary power over foreign affairs and border security. As Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller declared, “The judicial process is for Americans. Immediate deportation is for illegal aliens.” A favorable SCOTUS decision would empower DHS to bypass rogue judges, ensuring the self-deportation program’s success. The future of the United States Republic hangs in the balance, relying on people like us to step up and defend her!  Illegal immigration already costs taxpayers $150 billion annually, with 80% of illegal aliens relying solely on taxpayer-funded subsidies for healthcare, housing, and necessities. These costs bankrupt cities, divert resources from citizens, and enable foreign meddling through lax voter ID laws and redistricting. A left-wing House majority, fueled by a Census counting millions of illegal aliens, could entrench socialist policies, weaken national security, and empower crime networks permanently. As Trump warned, the influx of 20 million illegal aliens is a “scheme” to transform America into a one-party state. Activate, Don’t Spectate, in a Half-Minute or Less!

Kneeling on the Job? FBI Cleans House After 2020 Protest Photo Fallout;The FBI has taken action against multiple high-ranking agents who were photographed kneeling with Black Lives Matter protesters during the 2020 demonstrations following George Floyd’s death.

 Kneeling on the Job? FBI Cleans House After 2020 Protest Photo Fallout

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reassigned several agents who were photographed kneeling during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. At least four agents have been demoted to lesser roles within the bureau without being provided clear reasons for their reassignment. Why were these agents kneeling instead of trying to stop the riots?

Senior FBI Officials Demoted After BLM Gesture

The FBI has taken action against multiple high-ranking agents who were photographed kneeling with Black Lives Matter protesters during the 2020 demonstrations following George Floyd’s death. These reassignments, widely viewed as demotions within the bureau, have affected at least four senior officials who previously held prominent positions in counterintelligence, counterterrorism, and cybercrime divisions.

The controversial kneeling gesture occurred while the agents were deployed to Washington, D.C., to protect federal buildings and assist with crowd control during the protests. According to a former agent familiar with the situation, “Those agents were not ever trained to be in that situation. Riot control is not our mission. We are trained to de-escalate.”

Gift Cards and Criticism: Divided Response to Agents’ Actions

In a surprising move, the FBI Agents Association reportedly rewarded the kneeling agents with $100 gift cards following the incident. This recognition starkly contrasts with the recent reassignments that have effectively pushed these agents out of their leadership positions.

Former Representative Matt Gaetz was among the vocal critics of the agents’ actions, telling Fox News, “Many FBI personnel we were trusting to be on the front lines were photographed kneeling in surrender to people who at times were violent.” He further characterized their behavior as “demoralizing” and stated, “To climb the ladder in federal employment, you shouldn’t have to shimmy up the woke totem pole.”

Political Implications and Potential Legal Response

The timing of these reassignments aligns with President Donald Trump’s campaign promises to eliminate what he termed “woke” elements within federal law enforcement. Though the FBI declined to comment on these personnel matters, the actions appear to address longstanding frustrations among conservatives who viewed the kneeling as evidence of political bias within the bureau.

Legal experts suggest the affected agents could potentially pursue legal action if they believe the reassignments constitute reprisal or discrimination. While the FBI maintains the authority to transfer employees while preserving their pay and position, reassignments perceived as punitive could face legal challenges.

The incident reflects broader tensions regarding law enforcement’s role during the 2020 protests, which caused significant property damage in many cities. Former FBI leadership reportedly found no policy violations by the agents at the time, but the kneeling gesture was interpreted by many as crossing the line from de-escalation tactics into political expression.

Chuck Schumer gave him an “F” for “failure.” In reality, Schumer and the democrats are the ones getting an “F” for “fear.” What are they are afraid of? Trump’s success. Victor Davis Hanson said the democrats have “no alternative to addressing the debt, (or) the trade deficit.” “And whether you like Donald Trump or not, or whether you think he’s crude, he is embracing policies that in bygone days, both the democrats and the republicans saw was the solution. And the democrats are terrified that it’s not only the viable solution but that it’s gonna work.” Trump closed the border, is deporting criminals, his DOGE team is rooting out waste, fraud and abuse, his tariff threats are bringing nations to the bargaining table and bringing manufacturing back to America. He’s like the Anti-Biden. And that is what’s really freaking out the Dems. Help me reach new subscribers by clicking the like button.

(Photo by Todd Scoggins) DEVOTIONAL What defines your life? The verse for today: “Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” Philippians 3:8. Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest players of all time. His career was cut short because of injuries and he retired at 37. Near the end of his life, Mantle was asked, by the Dallas Observer, what he felt when he saw pictures and film footage of himself as a young player. He answered: "I can be watching these things and I keep thinking, you know, that I can't really hardly remember playing. It's like it's somebody else.” Memories fade. We can’t live in the past. Whatever pleasure or success or failure we experienced in the past is gone. Before he died in 1995 at 63, Mantle told his former New York Yankees teammate Bobby Richardson that he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. Nothing else mattered. When we face our own death, the trophies, the records, the memories will all be worthless trash. The Apostle Paul counted all things as rubbish compared to knowing and becoming like Jesus Christ.
