These aren’t people caught overstaying visas. These are violent criminals who, for far too long, were allowed to roam freely in American communities under the Biden administration’s open-border neglect.
China Finally Cooperating After Years of Stonewalling
For years, China flat-out refused to take back its own deportees. That standoff seems to be thawing—finally—thanks to pressure that should’ve been applied years ago.
In fact, this June marked the fifth charter flight to China in under seven months, a level of cooperation that’s long overdue. The result? A sharp 62% decline in Chinese nationals caught illegally crossing the southern border since deportation flights resumed.
The message is crystal clear: the gravy train is ending.
Why Now? Voters Aren’t Fooled
Let’s not pretend this crackdown comes from a place of principle. This is pure political damage control. After three years of record-breaking illegal immigration, Biden only found his deportation pen once his poll numbers hit rock bottom.
Back in fiscal year 2021, ICE managed just 59,000 deportations—a historic low. But by 2024, that number skyrocketed to over 271,000, the highest in a decade, even topping Trump’s best year.
The difference? An election.
Biden claimed his hands were tied by Congress—until he suddenly discovered a treasure trove of executive authority during campaign season. The American people noticed.
Despite the tough talk and flight manifests, voters saw the act for what it was. They overwhelmingly rejected Biden’s border failure in November, handing Donald Trump a sweeping victory and a mandate to fix what the current administration broke.
Special Flights for the Worst of the Worst
The June 3 operation was no ordinary flight—it was a “Special High-Risk Charter.” That designation is reserved for deportees considered security threats, fugitives, or those who’ve resisted removal.
“This operation not only enhances the public safety of our communities across the U.S. but also strengthens national security,” said Johnson. “Our colleagues at ICE come to work every day to identify, arrest and remove illegal aliens who attempt to circumvent our nation’s immigration laws.”
When ICE uses this designation, it signals these are not low-level offenders. It’s a red alert to the public: we’ve been housing dangerous people who should’ve never been here in the first place.
ICE Quietly Doing the Job Biden Ignored
While Washington played politics, frontline agents at ICE continued quietly doing the job the administration failed to champion. Of the 113,000-plus arrests made, over 81,000 involved individuals with criminal records—some racking up hundreds of charges.
In total, the 81,000 arrested had a combined 516,000 charges or convictions, covering every crime from assault and rape to trafficking and murder.
America Safer—But It Should’ve Happened Sooner
This latest flight to China is proof that effective immigration enforcement is possible—if Washington actually cares to act. It also shows just how much damage can be done when political agendas override public safety.
The criminals removed this week never should have been here to begin with. And while the deportation is welcome, it’s also a brutal reminder of how many were allowed to stay for far too long.
ICE may finally be doing its job—but it shouldn’t take a tanking approval rating and a looming election to force the president’s hand.
Let’s hope this is the beginning of a new era of accountability—and not just a one-time show for the cameras.
