Here’s a number that should make every American furious: 40.
That’s how many times Julian Estrada-Garcia, a 36-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, has been deported from the United States. You read that right—40 deportations. And he’s not alone.
Estrada-Garcia was just one of 174 illegal migrants swept up in a two-week ICE operation in Houston, Texas, led by the Trump administration’s no-nonsense enforcement campaign to secure our borders and clean up the mess Joe Biden left behind. And if you’re wondering how someone can be deported forty times and still keep coming back—you’re not alone.
This isn’t immigration. It’s a revolving door of lawlessness, and it’s exhibit A in why Trump’s America First immigration crackdown is not only justified—it’s long overdue.
While in the U.S., Estrada-Garcia racked up a criminal rap sheet that reads like a disaster manual—driving while intoxicated, drug possession, fraud. He’s not coming here to build a better life. He’s coming here to break the law and escape accountability.
But under President Trump, the welcome mat is gone. ICE isn’t apologizing. They’re acting—and patriots everywhere should be cheering.
“This is just a small snapshot of the amazing work that the brave men and women at ICE do every day to enhance public safety in Southeast Texas,” said ICE Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford.
“ICE will continue to aggressively pursue and remove anyone who threatens the safety of our communities and the national security of our country.”
Let’s be clear: this is what real immigration enforcement looks like. The Biden regime spent years turning ICE into a babysitting service, telling agents to stand down while cartel thugs, gangbangers, and serial border jumpers flooded into our communities. Now, Trump’s putting ICE back in the fight, and the results are impossible to ignore.
In this single Houston operation:
-
ICE deported a 48-year-old Mexican national with 13 previous removals and 25 criminal convictions.
-
They also booted a 50-year-old Florencia 13 gang member, part of a notorious violent criminal organization.
These aren’t “asylum seekers.” They’re criminal parasites who exploit our broken system while D.C. bureaucrats and left-wing media scream about “compassion.”
How about compassion for American citizens? For border patrol agents stretched to the brink, or families torn apart by crimes committed by people who shouldn’t be here in the first place?
Since Trump’s return to office on January 20, ICE has already made 113,000 arrests and carried out over 100,000 deportations. That’s not a stat—that’s a restoration of national sovereignty.
But there’s a new problem: ICE is at capacity.
The detention centers are full. The system is overwhelmed—not by “new arrivals,” but by repeat offenders like Estrada-Garcia who treat the U.S. like a revolving door.
And now, Trump’s team is begging Congress to fund more bed space to keep the operation going. Naturally, Democrats are balking. They’d rather cut checks for illegal immigrants than pay for actual enforcement.
This is the moment for America-first patriots to demand action.
We need to:
-
Fund ICE fully.
-
Build more detention facilities.
-
Close asylum loopholes.
-
End catch-and-release permanently.
Most importantly, we need to keep the heat on sanctuary cities and soft-on-crime politicians who make this crisis worse every single day.
Trump’s ICE isn’t apologizing for deporting the same criminal 40 times. They’re apologizing that he was ever allowed back in. And they’re fixing it, one operation at a time.
