11 million crossings under Biden.
Gronk's figures, courtesy of ICE: "More than 271,000 immigrants were deported from the US over the last fiscal year..."
... was simply a desperate act to make dumbasses LIKE Gronk, think that the Democrats were going to deport more immigrants after
Harris won the election.
LOL
Riiiiiight.
One thing I want to know is, WHY would Gronk post this? Did he think "Biden" deporting more illegals than Trump was a good thing?
Now, WHY would he think THAT, since dumb ass liberals and Democrats were for bringing IN illegals... not deporting them.
Did Gronk think that by showing "Biden" HAD deported more, that
I just don't understand the logic. Were liberals FOR or AGAINST deportation of illegals? They were against it, as we all know, so
why in the hell would Gronk post and boast on "Biden", deporting illegals?
"The ICE report comes just WEEKS BEFORE President-elect Trump, who plans to make mass deportation a cornerstone of his incoming
administration, takes office. President Joe Biden in 2021 had pledged to pause deportations, but his administration ended up
expanding it following a surge in border crossings."
Because they were trying to get re-elected. Democrats thought that deporting illegals RIGHT before the election, that the lower-
IQ'd of America would think that they were going to keep deporting illegals.
The higher-IQ'd knew better, hence Harris blowout defeat.

Release Date
Tue, 06/17/2025
Border Patrol released zero illegal aliens into the interior of the US, down from 62,000 last May
WASHINGTON - U.S. Customs and Border Protection released operational statistics today for May 2025. CBP monthly reporting can be
viewed on CBP's Stats and Summaries webpage.
"Under the leadership of this administration, CBP has received historic support resulting in another 93% decrease in illegal
crossings along the southwest border this month when compared with last year," said Pete Flores, Acting Commissioner of CBP.
"Border numbers continue to trend at historic lows, reinforcing the sustained success of our enforcement efforts in securing the
homeland and protecting American communities."
Below are key operational statistics for CBP's primary mission areas in May 2025.
Halting the flow of illegal aliens into the country
Thanks to the good work of the men and women of CBP and the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, CBP is leveraging
authorities to take every step to ensure illegal aliens are expediently removed from the country. In May 2025, the U.S. Border
Patrol released 0 illegal aliens into our country-a staggering drop from more than 62,000 that USBP was forced to release along the
southwest border in May 2024.
In May 2025, the Border Patrol encountered 8,725 illegal aliens crossing the southwest border between ports of entry. This was a
93% decrease from May 2024 when USBP encountered 117,905 aliens. Encounter numbers continue to hold at historic lows, reflecting a
border that is more secure, more controlled, and hitting unprecedented levels of operational success.
CBP's total number of encounters nationwide, including at ports of entry, averaged approximately 952 per day in May 2025-a 2%
decrease from April 2025. This was the second lowest average daily number of CBP encounters in history. Along the southwest border
in May 2025, CBP's total number of encounters decreased 93% from May 2024.

Safeguarding communities by interdicting narcotics and dangerous drugs
As the largest law enforcement agency in the United States, CBP is uniquely positioned to detect, identify, and seize illicit drugs
like fentanyl before they enter our communities.
In May, CBP seized 718 pounds of fentanyl. Cocaine seizures increased 19% and heroin seizures increased 191% from April to May.

Facilitating lawful trade and travel
CBP's enhanced enforcement posture not only makes every American safer, but it also saves you time and money. CBP is also the front
line for facilitating lawful international travel and trade, which is a critical element of our nation's economic prosperity.
CBP works diligently with the trade community and port operators to ensure merchandise is cleared efficiently while interdicting
illicit cargo that is hidden in some shipments. In May 2025, CBP processed more than 2.8 million entry summaries valued at more
than $276 billion, identifying estimated duties of nearly $26.6 billion to be collected by the U.S. government. In May, trade via
the ocean environment accounted for 38% of the total import value, followed by air, truck, and rail.

Protecting consumers and eradicating forced labor from supply chains
CBP continues to lead U.S. government efforts to eliminate from the supply chain goods that are made with forced labor from the
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. In May, CBP stopped 132 shipments valued at more than $4.5 million for further
examination based on suspected use of forced labor, and which may be subject to a Withhold Release Order, Forced Labor Finding, or
the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act's rebuttable presumption and prohibited importation under 19 U.S.C. § 1307.
CBP also seizes millions of counterfeit products every year worth billions of dollars had they been genuine. In May, CBP seized
2,973 shipments that contained more than 3.2 million counterfeit goods valued at more than $317 million.

Implementing the President's tariffs
CBP is uniquely positioned to implement and enforce the President's tariffs using all our enforcement and revenue collection
authorities. From January 20 through May 30, CBP successfully implemented tariffs guided by 22 presidential actions during this
administration, assessed $46.9 billion in tariff revenue from those tariff actions alone, and each day assesses over $450 million
in tariff revenue. In total, CBP has collected $80.4 billion in revenue from all tariffs, taxes, and fees enforced during this
period.
CBP enforces tariffs through a combination of legal authority, advanced systems, and operational procedures designed to ensure that
duties owed are paid. We have fulfilled the demand and remain committed to facilitating legitimate trade while upholding a robust
enforcement posture.
Serving on America's frontline, CBP strictly enforces all laws and Presidential directives to secure our economic sovereignty and
is fully equipped and ready to collect duties owed for goods subject to tariff and small packages.

goods that had been improperly declared in accordance with U.S. trade laws and customs regulations. CBP collected over $29 million

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
