78 of former President
Joe Biden’s executive orders were rescinded and lobbed into the paper shredder. Every time it looked
like Trump’s wrecking ball would surely slow, it seemed to shift into a higher gear.
‘DIRTBAGS’ ROUNDED UP When Trump announced that the U.S. Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, would house up to 30,000 undocumented migrants, it caught progressives and old media completely off guard.
This 2.0 version of Trump appeared more determined than ever to reform the swamp, and far more effective in doing so after the painful lessons of his first term.
Media skeptics served up a panoply of reasons why the idea wouldn’t work; newly minted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth assured the nation it would.
ICE and other law
enforcement agencies, meanwhile, were rounding up illegal undocumented immigrants nationwide. Homeland Security
Secretary Kristi Noem donned a protective vest to join ICE deportation raids in Manhattan and the Bronx.
“Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets,” Noem promised. Largely unreported by the legacy press was that apartment dwellers in true- blue New York City cheered
Trump Order Overlooked — Unless You’re a Lumbee
O
ne of President Donald Trump’s least-noticed executive orders may be the most astute politically: a decree setting the Lumbee Tribe of Native Americans in North Carolina on a path to formal recognition. Never heard of

ones away!” yelled 80-year- old Evelyn Brown, a Bronx resident from Jamaica, West Indies, according to the New York Post. “I watched the planning for this over the last few years with friends who were in the first administration,” conservative activist and anti-critical race crusader Christopher Rufo told his podcast listeners. “But it still came as a
shock, even though in some ways I knew what was coming.” If Trump policy insiders
were stunned, imagine the impact on Democrats and the federal bureaucracy?
RISING OPPOSITION TO OPEN BORDERS The most urgent dilemma confronting Democrats: How to respond to Trump’s rapid-fire moves on immigration? As the Associated
Press reported, “Stinging from election losses, the Democratic Party has so far been splintered in responding to Mr. Trump’s push against illegal immigration. Yet the party’s soul-searching comes as the stakes could hardly be higher.” Even worse news for
Democrats: The surprising support for Trump’s migrant crackdown among the Hispanic community. Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat who voted for the Laken
they’re considered the largest tribe east of the Mississippi. Yet, in part, their existence has never been fully recognized. For over a century, they sought federal recognition
unsuccessfully — until Trump gave them a big boost in the blizzard of executive orders in his first 100 hours in ofice. “I love the Lumbee Tribe,” said Trump as he signed his order.
“They were with me all the way. They were great.” One reason for Trump’s affection, no doubt, in swing-state
North Carolina, 55,000 votes could easily determine national election outcomes. In 2008, for example, then-Sen. Barack Obama carried the Tar Heel State by a mere 14,000 votes. GOP leaders, led by North Carolina GOP Sen. Thom Tillis,
hailed Trump’s plan for the Lumbee — even if the legacy media largely ignored it. — D.P.
