As President Trump marks his 100-day milestone, it’s clear he’s feeling quite confident, especially with the media blitz taking the spotlight. Unlike previous leaders who fumbled their way through early days, this President is diving straight in with bold measures, particularly on immigration, tickling the nerves of those who doubted his capability to deliver on campaign promises.
A recent sting at a migrant nightclub led to the arrest of hundreds of illegal immigrants, a move touted by the administration as a victory for border security. The White House wasted no opportunity to show off its achievements. They lined the lawn with posters showcasing the mugshots and crimes of alleged illegal immigrants, suggesting that if you’re not following the rules, expect no mercy from Trump’s administration. In typical dramatic fashion, the administration even held an early morning briefing with Tom Homan, their border czar, who praised the President’s unprecedented success in securing the border and “saving lives.”
But it seems not everyone is on board with Trump’s tough tactics. A controversial incident involving a judge in a courtroom adds another layer to the debate. This particular judge found herself in hot water for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade ICE agents. The charges against her have sparked fiery discussions about judicial overreach and accountability. The judge’s actions have raised eyebrows, especially since the courtroom is supposed to embody accountability and justice, not aid in escape plans.
As expected, the President’s approach to highlighting alleged crimes by illegal immigrants has fired up his base, who value transparency and action, a stark contrast from the days when Americans watched helplessly while crime and illegal entries were nodded at but rarely confronted. Critics may argue about the administration’s methods, claiming civil liberties are at stake. However, those on the Trump train see this as classic evidence of a President who promised action and delivered, in record time, by showing the American public that the government means business.
Of course, ever so predictably, the left is spiraling into their usual fits of hand-wringing and accusations of constitutional crises. But in Trump’s world, that means progress. The first 100 days have shown that the administration is not only keeping up the pace but also setting a new standard for what presidential action can look like. Sure, the pacing is fast—some likening it to a leap from dial-up to 5G—but perhaps a little speed is exactly what the political landscape needed. After all, who said shaking things up couldn’t be fun?
