"President Trump is sending a strong and clear message to the entire world: if you illegally enter the United States of America, you will face severe consequences," she wrote on X, posting photos of agents escorting men in handcuffs to a military aircraft.

The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway.
Promises made. Promises kept.
"President Trump is using every lever of his executive power to secure our nation's borders," Leavitt said during a Fox News interview. "He is sending a very clear message to the rest of the world, if you are even thinking for a single second about illegally entering our country and breaking the laws of the United States of America you will face consequences for doing so."
