DOJ Responds to Injunction from Washington State Judge Blocking Birthright Citizenship Executive Order

On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued an Executive Order addressing what it means to be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. See Exec. Order No. 14160, Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship (Citizenship EO or EO). That EO recognizes that the Constitution does not grant birthright citizenship to the children of aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States or the children of aliens whose presence is lawful but temporary.

Immediately, Washington State applied for an emergency injunction which was granted by a judge. The DOJ, now under the Trump administration, has filed a response to the court requesting the injunction be removed. [SEE Response HERE]

[60-page response filing]

With everything going on I have not yet had time to sit down and read the full response. However, I am told by people close to the issue that the response is well articulated, grounded in constitutional law and solid.

Due to the subject matter, this case is likely on track to reach the Supreme Court for a historic ruling. The timing will depend on how the DOJ responds to further litigation and judicial decisions. Inevitably, this is going to be a case that Attorney General Pam Bondi will have to engage with.

The Government of Colombia Agrees to Repatriation on All of President Trump’s Terms

Within this example the American people not only see the deliberate nature of President Trump’s intent to carry out America-First policy, we are also getting an unmistakable confirmation of how our government could have previously stopped all of the bad activity in the past.

Using economic influence as a national security strategy, President Trump responded to the repatriation denials of the Colombian president with focus and the benefit of very fortuitous timing. With Valentines Day only two-weeks away, and with all floral contracts with Colombian growers previously locked in, any tariff, inspection delay or import embargo would have destroyed their industry.

President Gustavo Petro was facing an immediate 25 percent tariff on all goods imported from Colombia, visa restrictions, a travel ban, enhanced border patrol inspections and financial sanctions. Petro conceded to Trump’s responsive terms within hours, even retweeting the message from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

In addition to all other notes evident in this example, all other national leaders are now on notice about what will happen if they refuse repatriation of illegal aliens.  #FAFO

Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be well received in his previously scheduled upcoming visits.

Beyond Perfect Timing – Colombia Refuses Repatriation Flights, What Trump Does is Beyond Epic

There are moments in life to just savor. This is one of them.

Apparently, Colombia has refused repatriation flights of illegal aliens.  President Trump responds forcefully, in what can only be described as epic, in part due to the timing of this.  Colombia is the #1 exporter of long stem roses (and other flowers) to the USA.  Valentines Day is about two weeks away.  I love Trump!

President Trump (via Truth Social) – I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:

-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.

-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.

-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.

-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.

-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.

These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States! (Source)

Seriously folks, there could not be better timing.

1,500 U.S. Troops Arrive in First Wave of Southern Border Security and Logistics

President Trump ordered the U.S. Defense Department to make “homeland security a core mission of the agency.”  In one of the first actions to support an executive order on border security, the Pentagon sends an additional 1,500 active-duty troops to support Customs and Border Patrol.

(Via Reuters) – […] The additional troops include 500 Marines, as well as Army helicopter crews and intelligence analysts. They will join 2,200 active-duty troops and thousands of National Guard that were on the border prior to Trump’s inauguration this week.

A separate official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said there had been informal discussions about sending as many as 10,000 troops over time. But, officials cautioned, a final figure had not been determined, and troop numbers would depend on several factors, including impact on military readiness and what the Department for Homeland Security requests.

[…]  Acting Defense Secretary Robert Salesses said the U.S. military would help provide flights for Department of Homeland Security-led deportations of more than 5,000 immigrants held by U.S. authorities in El Paso, Texas, and San Diego, California.

“DHS will provide in-flight law enforcement and the State Department will obtain the requisite diplomatic clearances,” Salesses said. (read more)

Secretary Rubio’s First Trip: Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic

Newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio has outlined his plans for his first foreign trip on behalf of President Trump.

In keeping with the #1 priority of U.S. border security and western hemisphere focus, Secretary Rubio will be heading to Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic.  Obviously, the strategic national interest of the Panama Canal will be at the forefront of the visit; however, the visit to Guatemala and El Salvador will likely focus on their role in the transit of illegal aliens to the U.S. southern border.

President Trump has taken a very strong approach in his prior remarks about the central and south American nations being responsible to control migration.  There are numerous Non-Governmental Organizations and U.N agencies operating in Central America who direct and support the illegal migration flow.

This will be a test of Rubio’s capability to transfer President Trump’s open statements about repatriation of unlawful border crossers back into the nations of origin.  Undoubtably, Rubio will carry the economic weapons of trade and tariffs in his discussions with leaders in the region.

Dana Bash Pretends to be Confused About Tom Homan Deportation Operation

Do you remember those ridiculous media interviews with General Norman Schwarzkopf as U.S troops were preparing to liberate Kuwait from the invasion by Iraq? The media asking Schwarzkopf repeatedly, “where are our troops?” …. “how many soldiers are there?” … “what exact time are you going to attack?” … and “how many forces will you use in the ground attack – how many troops will arrive from sea?” Schwarzkopf smiled, laughed at the media and kept telling them, repeatedly, he was not going to answer these operational questions for obvious reasons.

Today, CNN host Dana Bash does that exact same routine as she pretended to just find out that Border Czar Tom Homan is going to begin the deportation operation he previously outlined. Ms. Bash wants to know how many ICE officers, where are they going, what cities are being targeted, what are the names of the people being targeted by ice, and how long do they have until ICE officers arrive. Seriously, no joke, this is the priority of questioning. WATCH:

lolol…. It’s a new era now, and the media are having a hard time adjusting to it.
