An Appeal To Pragmatism

Venezuela's interim leader, who has aligned herself with Trump by purging the military of Maduro's men and leaving the ICC at our lead, says she supports the deal with America.

Venezuela has entered a large deal with Trump's U.S. for America to take control of a potential 65 billion barrels worth of oil in the country — the largest oil deal in history. America will preside over the real extraction from this transaction, which will produce us both hundreds of billions of dollars and "more than doubles" the oil reserves of America.

Numerous reports say police across the country, especially in areas that try to restrict or limit law enforcement from working with ICE, have been searching Flock and traffic cam data to help identify and expose arrestable aliens. With the right people in place, any tool can be useful.

Trump's crackdown on foreign workers and students and their sponsors is about to experience an expansion. The admin is moving to end the H-1B grace period and impose a new $100k fee. And soon, duration of status for student visas is poised to end while a $4k fee on H-1B extensions and L-1 transfers is set to begin. All of these changes, big and small, add pressure and hurdles.

The White House has approved the plan to eliminate the 60-day grace period H-1B visas have to stay in the country and look for a job after being fired or laid off, taking the rule a step further to being final.

ICE has arrested Milo Yiannopoulos for overstaying his visa and failing to appear for his immigration case. Milo, an illegal alien, is now in custody, as this admin targets all illegal aliens on record.

The Economist admits: President Trump is delivering the deportations he promised. With the border shut, removal orders issued on 1.6m and status stripped from 1.7m, Trump is targeting aliens in the interior who have been in America for years — and arrests are soaring. Unlike Obama, who expanded protection and focused on recent border crossers. No other president, not even Eisenhower or Hoover, has done this level of revocation and removal in such a short period.

I'm seeing anarchists, trans activists, LGBT, BLM, and more report that their communist "Zines" and blogs are gone.

Leftists on blue sky are alarmed by the disappearance of their websites.

Many ANTIFA blogs and doxx sites gone.

After the State Department announced it has designated the leftist tech collective A/I as a special terrorist group, several far left, liberal and anti-White websites and blogs have been taken offline.

DHS intends to make sure every Haitian is deported or departs from the U.S.

NyMag says Trump's DHS is arresting and deporting every illegal it can process, and calling them all criminals, regardless of their background — even the workers.

President Trump has officially renamed Lake Ontario to Lake America, making it America's lake. This comes after the 'Gulf of Mexico', as it was so-called, became the Gulf of America in 2025. "The Lake has long been an integral asset to American exploration, settlement, commerce, and defense. From the colonial period through the early republic, the Lake served as a critical artery for American trade, commerce, and military logistics, including the establishment in Oswego of a historic fort and the first United States port of call from the St. Lawrence Seaway, shipbuilding and naval operations during the War of 1812 at Sackets Harbor and other New York posts ... Maritime commerce on the broader Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway system continues to generate substantial economic activity for the United States ..." https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/08/honoring-the-american-history-of-the-great-lakes-and-renaming-lake-ontario-as-lake-america-3a36/

The Trump administration is increasing deportations to Haiti, expanding Haitian removal flights to a weekly pace. Local reports confirm Haitian aliens of all ages, especially former TPS, are being detained and deported more frequently. A UN official says the influx is 'too much' — DHS says it's just starting.

Local law enforcement are carrying out an increasing number of immigration arrests, more than ever. Police agreements with ICE have grown more than 17.76x since Trump returned — 70x higher than Obama — leading to more deportations of illegal aliens encountered in the streets. There is a lag between agreements signed and arrests made, because training and allocation and enforcement are not immediate, so the impact will keep rising with time.

USPS says it has implemented Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting to curb Democrat fraud, effective immediately. "The USPS posted a final rule on ballot delivery on Friday. On Thursday, the service said it would be implemented immediately, applying to ballots for November’s US midterm elections."

A New NYT analysis of DHS data shows that ICE arrests have surged to highs not seen before. The DHS is going after all illegals in the country, now more than ever, including overstays, asylees and terminated TPS holders. “Immigration arrests are near all-time highs in almost every state”, and removals have risen with them.
