San Diego Sector Border Patrol officials closed a migrant processing center due to a dramatic decrease in border crossings during the Trump administration. “Due to the unprecedented decrease in illegal crossings this year, the massive 1,000 person, San Diego Sector Soft Sided Facility has been dismantled. In 3/2025, San Diego Sector arrested 1,199 illegal aliens with an average of 38 per day. This was a 186% drop compared to 3/2024,” San Diego Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Jeffrey Stalnaker stated.

This is a major drop from the 1,090 apprehensions per day just one year earlier — a 96.4 percent decrease. During the first three full months of the Trump administration, apprehensions fell to an average of 47 per day, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Southwest Land Border Encounters Report. Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Joel Pollak reported that the Trump administration’s increased border security and immigration enforcement efforts also led to the closure of NGO migrant shelters near San Diego. Catholic Charities laid off 73 employees at two shelters used to temporarily house migrants released by the Biden administration onto the streets of California. Another 115 employees were laid off from the San Diego Rapid Response Network. Similarly, Breitbart Texas’s Randy Clark reported that Biden-era migrant processing centers near Eagle Pass, Laredo, and McAllen, Texas, were also dismantled as they were no longer needed. A source within CBP told Breitbart the centers were no longer required after President Donald Trump cancelled Biden’s “catch and release” immigration policies. The source said the South Texas shelters cost approximately $10 million per month to operate.

All we needed was a new President. pic.twitter.com/XGTjNmUWHB — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) May 27, 2025 Prior reports showed the number of border crossings under the Trump administration reached historic lows. From U.S. Customs and Border Protection: The month of March recorded the lowest southwest border crossings in history, marking a pivotal achievement in our nation’s border security efforts. This milestone demonstrates that operational control is becoming a reality — which seemed impossible just a few months ago under the Biden administration — as enforcement measures continue to yield significant results. In March, the Border Patrol data shows that around 7,180 southwest border crossings were recorded, a dramatic drop compared to the monthly average of 155,000 from the previous four years. Daily southwest border apprehensions have also fallen to around 230 per day—a 95% drop from the previous administration’s average daily encounters of 5,100 per day. “Under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, the administration has taken bold, decisive action to restore control at the border. Border Patrol agents are empowered like never before to shut down unlawful entry and protect American lives,” said Acting Commissioner Pete Flores. “The message is clear: the border is closed to illegal crossings, and for those still willing to test our resolve, know this — you will be prosecuted, and you will be deported.” Furthermore, in March, new border wall contracts were signed, ensuring continued construction. With decisive action and unwavering commitment, we are turning the tide on border security, restoring control, and safeguarding our nation like never before.

If you only read mainstream media headlines, you’d probably think that President Trump’s approval rating is in the gutter right now. Just like the MSM tried to gloss over Joe Biden’s glaring cognitive decline and paint him in the best light possible, they try to play up any and all negative perceptions about President Trump. In the far-left, MSM, TDS bubble, President Trump can do no right. But, in reality — the world most of us live in — President Trump’s approval rating has been very steady, hovering at a consistent 45-50% since taking office in January. Overall, President Trump’s approval rating during his second term is several points higher than during his first term. It’s hovering right around where Obama’s was at this time in his second term, and several points higher than Bush’s: 2nd Term Approval Rating Comparison Per RCP Bush (May 2005): Approve 45.6% Obama (May 2013): Approve 48.7% Trump (May 2025): Approve 47.1% pic.twitter.com/EgWofXIpl6 — OSZ (@OpenSourceZone) May 20, 2025 During his first term, President Trump’s rating hit its lowest point at 37% in December 2017 and its highest at 47.3% in March 2020. Keep in mind that Joe Biden left the White House with an approval rating of just 39% (and his all-time low was 37.1% in July 2022.) According to RealClearPolitics data, President Trump’s approval rating was at 50.5% in January. Then, a couple months ago, it hit its lowest point of his second term so far at around 45.2%. Recently, it’s shot back up steadily, standing at 47.5% today: Rasmussen has it even higher, at 51%: Trump Approval is at 51% today, up a point from last week:https://t.co/K0PyR8vsPe#TRUMPAPPROVAL pic.twitter.com/MRqmemrF4l — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) May 26, 2025 Now, approval ratings mean much less in a second term than it does in the first. President Trump doesn’t need to care so much this time around. He’s not running again (so he says, at least right now…) But, approval ratings do give a broad indication of how the American people feel about their president and could sway election results in the 2026 midterms as well as the 2028 election. And, it’s pretty satisfying to watch CNN being forced to admit that President Trump’s approval rating is on the rise: CNN admits: Trump’s approval rating is rising. pic.twitter.com/mS2EGsCH2x — Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) May 16, 2025 USA Today reported: President Donald Trump‘s average approval rating largely held steady this week, with polling placing him between three and five points underwater. A Friday, May 23 average of recent polls from the New York Times gives the second-term president a 45% approval rating, with 51% disapproving of his performance. The outlet’s approval rating average has held steady between 44%-45% over the last 30 days, but it does show a downward trend for the president since early March. Pollster Nate Silver’s “Silver Bulletin” newsletter showed the president reached his best approval figures since early April this week, settling in with a 46% approval and 50% disapproval on May 23. RealClearPolitics’ average was more than a percentage point higher, calculating a 47.7% approval and 49.3% disapproval rating. Despite what the MSM wants you to believe, Americans as a whole are even happier with President Trump this time around. I know I am. How about you?  

A UFO reportedly struck a US fighter jet over Arizona, damaging the plane and forcing it to land. It was bound to happen. Near misses are being reported now more than ever by pilots no longer fearful of retribution or mockery. The Trump Administration recently released the details of that encounter with the unknown object in a stunning display of government transparency — on the least transparent subject of modern times. And what would have once been frontpage news on every major print newspaper on earth, and the talk of every primetime news network… Now, in the age of “disclosure”, it has gone surprisingly under-reported! New UFO fears after potential sightings over Arizona https://t.co/YrvJewtQQc pic.twitter.com/yrxpcscI3n — New York Post (@nypost) May 18, 2025 The F-16 Viper that collided with the UFO was damaged in the canopy area, forcing the $63 Million dollar plane to land. The official term used to describe the object that crashed in to the jet was a “UAS” (Uncrewed Aerial System), and was reportedly orange-white in color, according to a report in the New York Post: A UFO that struck and damaged a US fighter jet is just one of a swarm of mystery objects buzzing around Air Force training ranges in Arizona, according to multiple reports. One of the unidentified flying objects hit the clear bubble “canopy” over the head of a pilot in a $63 million F-16 Viper jet in January 2023, damaging it and temporarily grounding the plane, according to Federal Aviation Administration documents first reported by the War Zone. The military jet was struck midair by “an orange-white UAS,” or “uncrewed aerial system,” the FAA documents said. The term refers to drones. Three more UAS encounters were flagged a day later, the outlet reported. “What I can tell you is that there has been a lot of activity, a lot of people reporting a lot of things out of Arizona, particularly on the border” with Mexico, former Pentagon investigator Luis Elizondo told NewsNation this month. Mario Nawfal who posted about the story on X added the note that some say the technology could have simply been cartel-operated drones: UFO HITS $63M FIGHTER JET OVER ARIZONA — NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT WAS A U.S. Air Force F-16 was struck midair by a glowing orange-white object over Arizona in 2023.

It cracked the jet’s canopy and grounded the plane. It wasn’t alone. The next day, pilots reported three more mysterious objects near military training zones. Some fly in packs of up to eight. Out of 757 airborne UFO incidents reported since 2023, only 49 have been officially closed. Officials say the tech could be cartel-operated drones—small, fast, and nearly untraceable. Others aren’t so sure. The recent info released by the Trump Administration was discussed during a recent video report by NewsNation. Luis Elizondo, Pentagon Whistleblower, appeared on the show to discuss the specific event. He emphasized that it seems as though the Trump Administration believes Americans “can handle the truth” on this issue: The pilot of the plane reportedly wasn’t injured in the collision in 2023. But as this incident has come to light, it has become clear that 22 different events involving fighter pilots who have seen — OR CRASHED — in to “strange objects” has been reported in just the last few years, as referenced by the Daily Mail: Barry Goldwater Range is an expanse of desert along the Arizona-Mexico border where the military practices air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. The FAA’s report of the F-16 collision revealed that the fighter was flying in restricted airspace near Gila Bend, Arizona, when it was hit by the object in the rear of the canopy, the glass bubble which protects the pilot. No injuries were reported. The Air Force did not reveal how much damage the jet suffered, but the plane was grounded for repairs. These new details come as a stunning report from the Department of Defense’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) shows there have been hundreds of UFO reports made in recent years and Arizona is becoming the nation’s new UFO hotspot. The F-16 collision is just one of 22 incidents involving Air Force fighter pilots seeing or crashing into strange objects between October 2022 and June 2023, according to azfamily.com. Most of the encounters took place within 100 miles of Luke Air Force Base, where many of the F-16 fighter jets using Barry Goldwater Range launch from. I’m reminded of the incoming White House Policy Director for the Office of Science & Technology making some mind-blowing statements as the Trump Administration took the reins of power earlier this year. Director Michael Kratsios made waves with some of his comments, insinuating (no, saying outright) that the United States now had the capacity to “manipulate time and space”. The timing and feel of his delivery almost felt like an announcement that something was changing. Maybe, as Elizondo mentioned in that last NewsNation appearance, what is changing is that the Trump Administration is going to prove just as forthcoming on the UFO issue as they have been promising. Here’s a clip of the comments made by Dir. Kratsios, in case you haven’t seen it: NEW: White House Office of Science & Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios says the U.S. has technology that can “manipulate time and space” “Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated.” pic.twitter.com/zNgmE2sCiB — UAP James (@UAPJames) April 16, 2025 Could it be that the collision happened as a result of closer inspection by whatever entity is in control of these UFO’s? Or, could it be the opposite. Is it WE who are able to inspect THEM — given that we apparently have technology that essentially breaks the classic rules of physics?  (At least the rules that don’t take in to account the multi-dimensional aspects of quantum physics — and the Bible.) Did it hit our plane, or did our plane hit it because we’re getting bold with our new technologies? That information, if true, hasn’t come out… yet. But I’m still waiting. Your thoughts?

President Trump just announced that he is considering pulling another three billion dollars in grant money from Harvard University. Good. Defund Harvard completely! There is not a single reason why a cent of the taxpayers’ money should go to funding that woke, anti-American propaganda machine. But, even better, President Trump just proposed a wonderful idea on how to re-allocate those funds: send the $3B to trade schools! Check out what he had to say on Truth Social: Reuters confirmed: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he is considering taking $3 billion of previously awarded grant money for scientific and engineering research away from Harvard University and giving it to trade schools. His comments on his social media platform Truth Social come less than a week after his administration sought to block the Ivy League school from enrolling foreign students as part of Trump’s extraordinary effort to seize some government control of U.S. academia. Trump, a Republican, has frozen some $3 billion in federal grants to Harvard in recent weeks, complaining that it has hired Democrats, “Radical Left idiots and ‘bird brains’” as professors. Harvard, a private university, has sued to restore the funding, saying the cuts are an unconstitutional attack on its free speech rights and unlawful. This X user broke down the math to determine how much each trade school would get if the Harvard money was redistributed to every trade school in the nation: This day and age it’s hard to even comprehend how much money a billion dollars actually is anymore. There are about 7,400 trade schools in the USA. If Trump actually makes this happen that would mean they would all receive about $400,000.

There are about 7,400 trade schools in the USA. If Trump actually makes this happen that would mean they would all receive about $400,000. That would be a substantial boost for a lot of them considering their size. It also outlines the absurdity of our government feeding that all to a single university. Especially one that is unfortunately as anti-American as it gets. Just one small example of the far left elite taking care of their own via the tax payers. Wow. That would be a huge investment for many schools that actually train American citizens for much-needed roles in their communities. We need more plumbers, electricians, and welders. And less gender studies experts, or whatever students at Harvard are getting degrees in these days. A ton of people would back this. It is wild how Trump is just implementing all the policies. Democrats used to love. Quite literally the essence of putting the middle class first is ripping federal funds away from elite, woke colleges and giving them to trade schools. Man of the people. — Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) May 26, 2025 Today, President Trump also said that Harvard University continues to double down on its war against his administration and mandate to the American people. In another post on Truth Social, President Trump claimed that Harvard is refusing to provide them with lists of foreign students.

Per Fox News: Judge Allison D. Burroughs – who was appointed by former President Barack Obama – granted Harvard University a temporary restraining order on Friday, preventing the government from revoking the Ivy League school’s certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. The program permits the university to host international students with F-1 or J-1 visas to study in the U.S. In a letter Thursday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem informed Harvard’s leadership that the university had lost its “privilege” of enrolling foreign students as a result of the institution’s “refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security with pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas sympathies, and employs racist ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ policies.” “This action should not surprise you and is the unfortunate result of Harvard’s failure to comply with simple reporting requirements,” Noem wrote. What do you think? In light of Harvard’s behavior, should funding be pulled and reallocated to trade schools?

I was, frankly, very angry about it,” Ivey said. Despite this, the congressman said he was told to go back to San Salvador and obtain a permit before he could visit Abrego Garcia in the lower-security prison in Santa Ana. “…which is pretty ridiculous. It’s an international delegation here,” Ivey said. On social media, Ivey didn’t hold back his frustration. “They knew we were coming; they knew why we were coming, and they know we have the right to do this,” Ivey said. “So, they need to just cut the crap, let us get in there and have a chance to see him and talk with him.” Ivey appeared in the video alongside Abrego Garcia’s attorney and a member of the Maryland-based workers’ union, which Abrego Garcia was a member.

Abrego Garcia’s attorney and family have denied the accusation. The man, who was living in Maryland, was shielded by an immigration judge in 2019 from being deported to El Salvador. A Justice Department attorney said in late March that Abrego Garcia, who entered the country illegally, was removed due to an “administrative error.” “Let us in, stop playing games, let us have a chance to talk with him,” Ivey said Monday. His comments come after Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) met with Abrego Garcia last month in El Salvador.
