President Trump is sending a hug and a kiss goodbye to illegal migrants this Valentine’s Day.
The White House posted a Valentine’s Day card on X Friday featuring Trump and his border czar Tom Homan’s stern-looking faces with a less-than heartfelt message: “Roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally, and we’ll deport you.”
“Happy Valentine’s Day,” read the X post.
The pink heart-covered card shouldn’t fool anyone as it showcases Trump’s hard-line messaging on illegal immigration as part of his mass deportation offensive and border crackdown.
Trump has deployed ICE and deputized agents from several other federal agencies to carry out raids targeting illegal migrants, prioritizing “the worst of the worst” across the country.
In the first 18 days of the effort, feds made an astounding 11,000 at-large arrests — which is already a third of the total busts the agency made last year under former President Joe Biden, according to internal data shared with The Post.
The Trump administration has moved to make as much space as possible to house them since ICE detention beds have been filled to capacity, squeezing dozens of illegal migrants into Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Illegal border crossings have also plunged to the lowest levels in decades this month as a result of Trump’s efforts that ended the Biden administration’s “catch and release” policy and deployment of thousands of additional troops, according to leaked data obtained by The Post.
Trump also forced Mexico to send 10,000 soldiers to its side of the border after threatening to impose a sweeping 25% tariff.
As a result, Border Patrol agents are catching about 359 illegal migrants per day across the entire southern border — a more than 90% drop from February 2024.
At this rate, the US is on track to see the lowest monthly border crossings in at least 25 years. And if that continues, the US could see a level not seen since in nearly 60 years.
“Already in the last few weeks a message is being sent out that the border isn’t going to be trampled over anymore, that national security isn’t a joke to us,” a Border Patrol source recently told The Post of the changes.
