[Full Backstory Here] – President Trump secured the border, began repatriation efforts, targeted narcotraffickers, confronted narco-terrorists, targeted Mexican drug cartel leadership, leveraged the DOJ to indict regional actors, pushed China out of control in the Panama Canal, took out Nicholas Maduro, took control of Venezuela oil production – both for the security of the U.S. and benefit of the Venezuelan people, removed the discounted oil benefit for China and reasserted stability in the Western hemisphere.
Then, with all that in place, he turned toward Iran…. but, proactively planned for a ‘Shield of the Americas Summit’ before the Iran operation began and scheduled it for today while Operation Epic Fury continues. WATCH:

If not for Trump, what would we do??
Surrender?
We just did that in Minnesota…
If you perceive that 2000 ICE agents remaining on active duty there, and Trump’s Border Czar securing the ability to take custody of illegal alien criminals directly from prison & jails all over the state “our surrender”…
I submit that we define surrender very differently.
thank for info….
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A pair of court filings shed new light on the Trump administration’s drawdown to the enhanced immigration enforcement operations known as Metro Surge in Minnesota. According to sworn affidavits from top regional officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agencies, there should be just over 400 federal officers and investigators in Minnesota to deal with ongoing immigration enforcement operations by the end of the week.

Your point comes across *much more clearly* when you include your dated source information… which I failed to do –
so I stand corrected, thank you jjoy.
400 projected as of 7 days ago 2.25.2026; down from the 2000 (in the video description/notation) that Border Czar Tom Homan announced at the time of initial drawdown agreement just 3 weeks prior… ONE month ago now:
Only 1 0r 2 ICE agents are needed to transfer custody of an illegal criminal individual at the time of release from a prison or jail to ICE detention-for-deportation;
instead of 6-8 agents per illegal criminal individual to take custody of each said individual walking free among the general population.
The surrender was *ENTIRELY* that of the MN criminal-sanctuary-operating communist officials who wanted the violent illegal alien criminals all free to vote illegally & wreak criminal havoc on the general population.
You just conflated the surrendering party with We The American People(‘s Law Enforcement).
Thank You for clarifying the (projected) current number of ICE agents active in MN by sharing a source.
It’s good to be clear.
Yes, it is good to be not only clear, but truthful…
Just so you know, there is an overabundance of misinformation in this thread… Nope I am not gonna rebut or research and produce links…
My one goal in life is to see the United States of America continue to exist as a free nation, so I will continue to present what I know is the truth, whether other CTH posters like it or not…
No one has a problem with truth. We’re all looking for the truth.
It’s the lies that people like me object to. For example, if you stop saying President Trump supports corrupt behavior you won’t hear a peep from me.
President Trump’s DOJ is protecting the epstein pedophiles, The DOJ knows who they are, but there are no arrests,
protecting the 270+ FBI agents that participated in the Jan 06 Entrapment of Conservative Citizens,
Protecting the corrupt politicians that planned the aforementioned Entrapment scheme…
protecting the FBI agents that lied and falsified documents to frame General Flynn,
Protecting the criminal politicians that stole a Presidential “election”,
I can go on, but this is enough to prove my point…
If the President is not protecting the criminals listed above, they would be indited, arrested, and put on trial for their crimes…
President Trump has been in office for 13+ months now, plenty of time to indict and put on trial these criminals, yet there has been no arrests by the President’s DOJ or FBI…
The DOJ and FBI are Executive branch offices, the Buck stops at the President’s desk…
Whether of not I “hear a peep” from you is inconsequential to me…
I’m not going to go through your points one by one becasue each item is the same issue: you are disappointed.
Your first allegation is an example. You wrote: “President Trump’s DOJ is protecting the epstein pedophiles, The DOJ knows who they are, but there are no arrests,”
Because there have been no arrests does not equate to President Trump’s DOJ protecting pedaphiles. That is not logical. The fact that you equate these two things shows that you are disappointed, but it does not show that President Trump is protecting anyone.
In your mind is a certain length of time that you identify and because President Trump didn’t do what you wanted by that length of time, you deem him “protecting criminals.” This is a problem in your mind because the length you choose does not necessarily equate to the time it takes to accomplish the goal in the real world. (It is also conceivable that President Trump may have identified other solutions, but that is a separate topic for discussion.)
You might have more success in your thinking if you separate what is in your mind (what you want done and the time by which you demand it must happen) from the problems in the real world and the actual time needed to execute solutions.
President Trump lives in the real world — not in your internal expectations.
To summarize, your assertions above are lies. They may be true in your mind, but that doesn’t automatically make them true in the real world.
What is true is that the administration is dealing with real world problems. The problems are complex and he must rely on others to execute, but in some cases the “others” face problems of their own. These are all valid issues for discussion.
Our arena for MAGA is the real world and to make progress we must deal with the real world issues that plague us. Like you, I wish there were already arrests and at this point some people in the administration replaced. But because there have been no arrests it is not true that President Trump protects criminals.
“There is no such thing as
“disinformation” or
“misinformation” or
“malinformation”. There is only information. There is information you accept and information you do not accept.
You were not born with a requirement to believe
everything you are told; rather, you were born with a brain that allows you to process the information you receive and make independent decisions.”
Sage piece of wisdom from Sundance.
To reiterate:
“The surrender was *ENTIRELY* that of the MN criminal-sanctuary-operating communist officials who wanted the violent illegal alien criminals all free to vote illegally & wreak criminal havoc on the general population.”
Conflating the surrendering party, which in this case was in fact the state of Minnesota, with the obvious success of the federal law enforcement ability to bring a lawless state into line serves no purpose, and neither would calling you a lair for doing it.
Likewise, combative and condescending lectures serve no positive purpose. I, for one, find them especially inappropriate when, as in this case, they are aimed at respected and thoughtful posters like Amara Grace.
You’re a valued and respected CTH poster, too, but you’re not the only patriot here. Mutual respect is a powerful thing.
My reply to AmaraGrace was not combative and condescending…
In fact, my post did not address AmaraGrace at all and was simply a few words from Minneapolis Ch 9 TV (and a link to the source) that tells the truth: that there are about 400 ICE agents remaining as opposed to her claim that there are 2000 agents still there…
If you continue to read the replies to my original post, you will find that most of the posters just pulled imaginary figures out of the air to rebut my post because the real information about our surrender in Minnesota actually supports my contention that we (the government of the USA) not only surrendered but ran like hell away from Minnesota, leaving the illegals that defrauded our government out of 8+ billions of $$$ of US taxpayer money free to spend it, or send it to Somalia, or wherever they so chose to send it…
There is one post (I didn’t take the time to rebut) that 4000 arrests were made, and Homan himself tells it that way.
But, what is not being said is that of the 4000 “arrests” made, only a very few were charged and most were released without paying bail or even having a court date set for them, so the claim of 4000 arrests boils down to Bull Shite of the Nth Degree of Magnitude…
I am a President Trump supporter… I have worked for his election 3 times now… I admit that he has done some good things, But I also realize that his refusal to arrest and file charges on corrupt politicians, corrupt FBI agents, and epstein pedophiles is going to affect his chances to win the mid-term congressional elections…
His withdrawal from “we are going to deport all illegals” to the current “we are going to deport only criminal illegals” is also going to affect the mid-term elections…
Continuing to endorse rino politicians after stating that he was going to rid the Republican party of rinos is going to affect the midterm elections…
Case in point: If he chooses to endorse John Cornyn, whom Texans hate, and continues to criticize Ken Paxton, who has supported Trump to the hilt, it is going to affect the mid term elections…
I don’t know what is going on now, but our President is getting some really bad advice from someone in his Administration and if he doesn’t get back to being the guy we elected to run our Nation, he will be a lame-duck President after the mid-terms…
Like it or lump it, that is the truth of the matter…
So, go on and start calling me names, but know in advance that I don’t really give a damn what you call me, and it is not going to keep me from telling it like it really is!
Just an Ol’ Country girl from TEXAS, American by birth, TEXAN by the Grace of God! …jjoy
No matter how many times you express your disappointments here will help bring about the changes you seek.
Your internal angst is basically not relevant to the disucssion of MAGA issues.
The only exception would be if your goal is to get rid of President Trump. If that is your goal (in addition to expressing your disappointment), I wonder what you think could replace him that would be more benefical to your goals.
We’re DOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!
There was no surrender-just a change in strategy. The good work of President Trump and of Tom Holman continues unabated.
I thank God that the cowardly ankle biters, the complainers, the whiners, and the professional trolls are not hindering President Trump’s agenda.
jjoy, 3rd disparaging, negative, post I’ve seen you make. Make your case with facts that we have surrendered. Have you talked with Homan? PDJT, Noem?, MarkWayne Mullins? I haven’t heard anything like a surrender.
Flattered to see that you read all my posts, Doc!
Nope, Doc, haven’t talked with Homan, PDJT or Noem… I am just a lowly country girl from Texas and those folks only talk with important folks like you…
I have talked to MarkWayne a few times, but myself being Chickasaw and MarkWayne being Cherokee gave us a little “common ground” to start from…
I will say this about MarkWayne, which I am sure you will disagree with: MarkWayne is a RINO to the Nth Degree of Magnitude…
jjoy, you may be in error.
I believe ICE, CBP, and the FBI were responsible for the apprehension and arrest of over 4,000 criminal aliens present in Minnesota illegally.
“Surrender?” I think not.
Perhaps if you were to read “the rest of the story” and see for yourself that the 4000 “arrests” resulted in only a few charges and most of the 4000 who were “arrested” were released with no bail nor having no court dates set…
Truth of the matter is that most of the posts above are filled with imaginary numbers that don’t really exist and if you actually read, understand, and post the truth of the matter you will find that it actually confirms my assertion that we (the US government) surrendered to the rioters in Minnesota…
Methinks, Joseph that it is you who “may be in error.”…
..well ..well seen to me is much easier go after Mullahs…..
Yep…. But it is turning out to be more trouble than expected… should have sent a few old Marines and Ma Duece to do the job…
We would witness the US Treasury bled dry while innocent Americans continued to be slaughtered on an almost daily basis.
Yes, thank God for our POTUS.
<If not for Trump, what would we do??>
Here’s your answer in 3 seconds:
POTUS is 1 in a billion…we will never be blessed w another bc he is Legendary
Never say never. We have a God, a Creator, and he is not silent.
Did you predict Iran as it has unfolded thus far? Rubio being who he is? Tulsi Gabbard?
Refusal to engage with Central and South America for decades comes to an end with PDJT.
Perhaps now our hemisphere will be focused on safety and growth instead of being a playground for China and Russia.
It should have been done (strictly implement Monroe Doctrine) after fall of “EVIL EMPIRE” in 1992.. instead we did push NATO to Russian borders and start stoooopid war in the Middle East.. and we are still continue ..we know how end up WESTERN ROMAN EMPIRE around year of 470…..we are in very familiar situation…..invasion of illegals..breakdown of society,enormous debt, still continue wars ….etc ..Are we on end of US Corp..??.and beginning of Constitutional Republic after 155 yrs ??? VSGPDJT ?????
The Monroe Doctrine should have been maintained from its inception.
And George Washington’s admonition about political factions should have been paid attention to through these past centuries as well.
But . . . “should have” counts for nothing. ‘Now’ is what we have.
We can repent and rebuild, restore, grow . . . Every one of s has room to do that — and if we do it collectively, and especially if we make pursuit of God our most important activity — there will be fruit.
yes…from inception….but you would expect our politicians did learn something since 1871……
And Iran

Keeping his promise to his friend JFK Jr. also.
I didn’t hear that Mexico was attending. Did I miss something?
😎
Cartel bosses said no.
“The Mexican cartels are fueling and orchestrating much of the bloodshed and chaos in this hemisphere,”
he said.
“And the United States government will do whatever is necessary to defend our national security
and to protect the safety of the American people.”
They weren’t invited!
Telemundo reported that the leftist governments of Mexico,
Colombia, and Brazil, as well as Venezuela’s “acting President” Delcy Rodríguez,
were among those not invited by President Trump to participate in the event.
…and Canada?
They are on the logo?
From Epoch Times:
All countries in attendance are governed by right-wing or center-right parties, while left-leaning governments such as Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico will not participate in the summit.
They can choose to cooperate or they can be dragged into compliance.
The easy way or the hard way.
sir..are you military guy ???
You mean they can be Maduroed?
Lo siento mucho
It was called “The New World” centuries ago but today it is spot on accurate.
President Trump secured the border, began repatriation efforts, targeted narcotraffickers, confronted narco-terrorists, targeted Mexican drug cartel leadership, leveraged the DOJ to indict regional actors, pushed China out of control in the Panama Canal, took out Nicholas Maduro, took control of Venezuela oil production – both for the security of the U.S. and benefit of the Venezuelan people, removed the discounted oil benefit for China and reasserted stability in the Western hemisphere.
Then, with all that in place, he turned toward Iran….
What President in the last 60 years has done anything like this statement? None. War on Drugs = more drugs, globalization of our economy = rich get richer, middle class pays for it. So on and so on. These people hate the people of America.
This explains why Nancy Mace is going to work on discrediting the effort via investigating Kristy Noem via “hearings on wrong doing” .. or … at least ensure the right Uni-Party advocates are made part of this organization as US representatives.
I still support the president moving forward with Kristy Noem. It would not matter who the President selects as the Uni-Party will always act to disrupt the organization and it’s effort. Better to have a person who is loyal to the president, is not afraid to speak her mind and will physically act despite her flaws..
Loyal means keep it zipped. This exposes two goof balls in the foxhole. Time to “deport”.
Nancy Mace is nuts! Also, she is running for Gov here in SC… and she won’t win.
President Trump must be out of bubblegum this term.
*ALL OUT!!!*
Is this to be a NATO for this hemisphere?
Kind of. By the way, NATO needs to go. Let the Eurotrash figure out what to do. We need to have a strong Western Hemisphere and this is the change. Thank you President Trump.
I had that thought as well. Perhaps NATO’s eventual replacement?
No.
THIS will be effective & successful in accomplishing the task assigned.
No need to destroy what can be improved
What has happened to the really happy guy, can’t think of his name for crying out loud, that wanted the job over the treasury? I never see or hear of him anymore.
I think you’re referring to Kevin Hassett. He’s one of my favorite Trump appointees.
I am thank you. Has anything happened to him. I knew he was up for the job pick but Walsh was selected. He didn’t leave, did he?
The President felt he is more valuable in his current role where he can so perfectly explain economic policy in clear and understandable terms. The Fed Chair does not talk to the press, give interviews, etc.
thank you
He is still the Chairman of the Economic Council. He was on CNBC yesterday.
oh thank you. I was afraid he’d gone.
A debt of gratitude to the citizens of Argentina and Ecuador who chose two outstanding leaders that have deftly assisted in the jump-starting of the Donroe Doctrine.
Chile too.
Negotiations…….
President Trump accomplishes so much! His does his regular presidential duties, makes speeches, and even finds the time to meet athletes. He’s amazing.
Pres. Trump didn’t just send Sec. Rubio to the meeting, asking Rubio to represent him. Pres. Trump attended the meeting himself, and made a speech there. This, while he’s overseeing our war effort in Iran.
With every earth shattering move this The Man makes
who would’ve guessed it:
Virtually every man in the group photo is sporting lapel pins.
Say his name.
DONALD JOHN TRUMP.
I hope Trump takes Bukele’s advice that he presented to him on his first visit when asked “how did you save El Salvador??”… He told Trump…”first we won the election then we IMPEACHED the LEFTIST JUDGES and then shut down the gangs”…
The judges should be next, together with the circus courts.
Unfortunately, Congress is required to impeach the judges… and so far they have not done so.
..and..we still are unable do it… ppl of EL SALVADOR are very lucky to have Mr.Bukele as president…
Who is the woman in black greeting everyone?
Monica Crowley. She is awesome!

Yes, Lord!
🤣 SD you sound out of breath listing PDJT’s magnificent accomplishments in the last few months. Just keep hearing winning, winning, winning ringing in the ears. 😎
God is in all the details.
I had to look this up – ‘Doral’ actually means “Fly Catcher” in Ornithology.
POTUS has exceptional communication skills – he’s modest when he says he ‘doesn’t speak other languages’…
he actually communicates in many subtle languages;
as does FLOTUS (re: her language of fashion fluency besides the 5 National languages in which she is also fluent – or is it 7?).
Trump change coiffureveve
Wowza! In the foreseeable future, Saturday mornings have now taken on a whole new meaning!
…at this rate it won’t be a swamp much longer…more like an evaporating pool of stagnant filth…glimmering with those strangely luminescent rainbow colors you see on the carcass of a dead fish rotting in the moonlight…
…no doubt, genuine satanic evil will be part of life on earth until LORD Christ drops the Final Big Hammer…until then, men like Donald J Trump and those who support him will serve to highlight the evil…when evil rises they will cut the heads off those snakes…
P.S. President Trump should refrain from referring to those who handled Biden’s presidency as “idiots & eggheads.” They are evil. They are evil, darkly intelligent, evil servants of the Evil One, Satan. Call them what they are: evil.
surprise..surprise …well……well… left/right hand of VSGPDJT well nourished Susie W… is not on the picture…
I do not know how President Trump maintains this schedule! He is non-stop!
I absolutely love what he is doing, and I pray he succeeds. He’s definitely reshaping the World at Trump Speed!
He delegates….and so does Rubio.
One of the best remarks . Splendid
It seems to me that the Organization of American States (OAS) is completely useless.
Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay were absent.
This could be a very big deal. Filling the room with common sense anti-crime strategies will only enhance the societies of every participant. Absolute win-win situation.
I can’t say it enough. Trump is amazing! Bravo! America is blessed! And so is the rest of the world as long as they get on the Trump train. 😂. But those that want to destroy America better look out.
I can hardly tear myself away from the internet there is so much happening at once.
Just read today on Epoch Times about a coalition between America and several South American countries to eradicate drug cartels. Military force will be used. It was described as a coalition of like minded countries.
God I wish Canada would become a like- minded country. 😢
I am extremely anti cartels and beyond thrilled at what President Trump is doing. He is truly making America great again!
In terms of being an effective cartel fighter, Kristi Noem has my support. I have no doubt she will do her best to blow them away.
So many of our problems — for example election fraud — have to do with cartels and I am 100 percent behind crushing them by whatever means necessary.
Who’s the pretty blonde greeter?
