America is finally getting the border enforcement it deserves. At the 100-day mark of Secretary Mullin’s tenure at the Department of Homeland Security, the numbers tell a story the legacy media doesn’t want you to hear: deportations are surging, the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement machine is running at full throttle, and 2026 is shaping up to shatter the already record-breaking pace set in 2025. President Trump shared the Breitbart exclusive on Truth Social Sunday evening, and it’s exactly the kind of winning that Americans who voted for this president were promised.
A DHS That Actually Does Its Job
For four years under the Biden administration, the Department of Homeland Security became something almost unrecognizable — a bureaucratic shell that waved millions of illegal aliens into the country, released known criminals into American communities, and treated the southern border like an open invitation to the world. The American people watched in horror as border towns were overwhelmed, fentanyl poured across in record quantities, and DHS leadership shrugged.
That era is over.
Secretary Mullin has hit the ground running at DHS, and the 100-day milestone is proof that the Trump administration’s commitment to restoring law and order at the border is not just rhetoric — it is results. According to the Breitbart exclusive, deportations are “way up” under Mullin’s watch, and 2026 statistics are on track to outpace 2025 numbers by a significant margin. That is not a small achievement. 2025 itself represented a dramatic reversal of the Biden-era catastrophe, with the Trump team executing mass deportation operations, reactivating critical agreements with partner nations, and reinstituting policies like Remain in Mexico that common sense — and the law — always demanded.
Now, 2026 is set to go even further. That is what momentum looks like. That is what leadership looks like.
The Trump Enforcement Blueprint Is Working
Let’s be clear about what is driving these numbers. This isn’t happening by accident. The Trump administration came into office with a comprehensive, unapologetic immigration enforcement strategy, and it has been executing on every front:
- ICE operations have been dramatically expanded, with targeted enforcement sweeps in sanctuary cities and jurisdictions that previously thumbed their noses at federal law.
- Cooperation with foreign governments on deportation flights has been secured and expanded, including deals with countries that the Biden administration couldn’t — or wouldn’t — negotiate with effectively.
- The legal pathways that enabled abuse — catch-and-release, abuse of the asylum system, CBP One exploitation — have been shut down or dramatically curtailed.
- Military and federal resources have been deployed to support border security operations in ways that previous administrations refused to authorize.
Secretary Mullin stepping into DHS and continuing this trajectory is exactly what the mission requires. When the man running your department publicly confirms that deportations are way up and accelerating, that’s not a talking point — that’s accountability. That’s the kind of transparency the American people have been starved of for years.
And while the open-borders left and their allies in the corporate media wring their hands and search for sob stories to undermine enforcement, the data keeps moving in one direction: the right one.
Why This Matters for Every American
Immigration enforcement isn’t just a political issue — it is a public safety issue, an economic issue, and a national sovereignty issue. Every illegal alien removed from this country is a step toward restoring the rule of law. Every deportation flight that takes off represents communities made safer, jobs protected for American workers, and a message sent to the world that the United States border is not a suggestion.
The left will tell you deportations are cruel. They’ll parade out activists and attorneys at every turn trying to gum up the legal works and delay enforcement. What they won’t tell you is that the American people — across party lines, as poll after poll has shown — support enforcing immigration law. They support removing people who are here illegally. They support a government that puts American citizens first.
President Trump has always understood this. It’s why he won in 2024. It’s why his approval on immigration enforcement has remained one of his strongest issues. And it’s why DHS under Secretary Mullin doubling down and pushing those numbers even higher in 2026 is not just good policy — it is exactly what the voters mandated.

Bottom Line
Secretary Mullin’s 100-day report card at DHS is a resounding success story, and President Trump was right to amplify it. Deportations are up. The pace is accelerating. And 2026 is on track to surpass an already historic 2025. While the legacy media looks the other way and Democrats in Congress try to defund enforcement efforts at every turn, the Trump administration is quietly — and not so quietly — delivering on the most important promise made to the American people: that this country’s laws will be enforced, its borders will be secured, and America will come first. The numbers don’t lie. The mission is working.
