The American Ethnic Cleansing Regime Ramps Back Up

Markwayne might be doing a better job of keeping ICE a bit quieter than Noem, but the American ethnic cleansing is back to record levels.

Detentions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement set a monthly record high for the second Trump administration in July, internal agency data obtained by CBS News shows, as ICE widened its crackdown, making arrests at airports, immigration check-in offices and communities across the U.S.

Last month, ICE took into custody more than 46,000 individuals facing deportation because of alleged immigration violations, like entering the U.S. illegally or overstaying their visas, according to preliminary Department of Homeland Security figures. 

The statistics, which have not yet been publicly disclosed by the federal government, show that a summer enforcement surge by ICE continued to intensify in July, as the agency faced pressure from the White House to record 2,000 arrests across the country each day. An average of 1,500 detainees entered ICE custody each day last month, the data indicates, though some of them were first arrested by Customs and Border Protection agents.

The over 46,000 book-ins in July surpassed the roughly 43,000 detentions recorded by ICE in June, at the time the highest tally during President Trump’s second term. As of this weekend, ICE was holding 68,000 detainees in its sprawling detention system, approaching a record high of over 70,000 detainees set in January, according to internal agency figures.

The numbers also show the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration has rebounded this summer, following a significant drop in arrests earlier this year after federal agents killed two American citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, during an enforcement blitz in Minneapolis that garnered bipartisan criticism.

Speaking of Minneapolis, the government is doing whatever it can to criminalize those who oppose our national ethnic cleansing policy:

The government charged Thoreson and 14 others with engaging in a conspiracy to impede federal agents — a conspiracy it says culminated in the use of blockades outside the Whipple Federal Building, which served as ICE’s headquarters during the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota this past winter.

The government cited meetings and conversations on the encrypted messaging app Signal as evidence. At the advice of her lawyer, Thoreson declined to comment on the specifics of the indictment.

Criminal conspiracy. I’m highly skeptical any of that leads to a conviction but it still allows Trump and Miller and Markwayne to destroy people’s lives, their favorite hobby.

Of course, none of this has sated Markwayne’s thirst for Cracker America:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportations have remained mostly flat so far this year, despite Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s pledge to increase deportations in 2026, according to figures shared with POLITICO.

A person familiar with the DHS figures on deportations said that the overall number of deportations has fluctuated under Mullin, reaching close to 2,000 per day at varying points in recent weeks, but that the number is in general matching the number of deportations under former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

A second person familiar with internal DHS statistics added that the number of detainees in ICE custody has remained relatively constant in recent weeks, at around 68,000. That is a sign removals are not significantly outpacing arrests — which have averaged about 1,500 arrests and bookings a day in recent weeks, the person said. Under Noem, arrests peaked at about 1,900 a day.

Mullin, who took over from Noem in March, said in June that DHS was on track this year to exceed the number of arrests and deportations it conducted in 2025.

The removal numbers under Mullin, which have not been previously reported, come as he faces an onslaught of criticism from immigration hardliners — particularly after he made comments over the weekend emphasizing the need for visas for temporary workers in sectors such as agriculture.

The deportation numbers also remain far below the target set by powerful White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller — echoed by Mullin — to detain 3,000 people a day.

Good to have Whiteness Goals.

Then there’s the whole vile system of getting people out of the nation, an act of pure cruelty:

A sudden burst of cruel and unusual Immigration and Customs Enforcement charter flights in the last two days suggests the Trump administration is again escalating its ethnic cleansing campaign. On Wednesday, ICE launched four aircraft nearly simultaneously that may have carried migrants to countries where they had no ties, known as “third-country removals.” While these expulsions usually surge at the end of each month, this many in one day is unprecedented.

Additionally, the unusual routing of several flights, including a failed deportation to Brazil, suggests ICE is increasingly desperate to find willing airline partners. And at least two prolonged removal trips kept migrants onboard shackled for more than 24 hours, a painful and dangerous practice experts say amounts to torture.

Altogether, there were at least 288 ICE flights and 38 removals between Sunday, July 26, and Wednesday, July 29, according to my analysis of public flight data.

Below is a breakdown of the unusual flights. Representatives for ICE and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a list of questions about them. This story will be updated if they do.

Two Gulfstream Vs operated by Journey Aviation left Mesa Gateway Airport in Arizona within minutes of one another around noon on Wednesday. The ICE Air Operations office is headquartered in Mesa, and most of the removal flights to Africa in the past year have departed from there.

The planes flew to Dakar, Senegal, a likely fuel and crew change stop, before continuing on to Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, where they landed Thursday morning, according to public flight data.

This trip was very likely a third-country removal. Of the five known ICE flights to Equatorial Guinea since last November, only one did not hold third-country nationals. A human-rights attorney familiar with the previous removals said they hoped to have more information about the passengers of this most recent flight soon. This story will be updated if and when that occurs.

For more on what happens to third-country nationals expelled to Equatorial Guinea, and the deal the country – deemed one of the most corrupt on the planet – has made with the Trump administration, please see the Third-Country Removal Tracker.

At least someone is trying to keep track of this evil.

Americans voted for racism because the United States is a racist, awful nation as committed to white supremacy as any in global history. In fact, it’s the foundational ideology of the nation. We don’t have to be like that–and we haven’t always been. But we sure are now.
