Texas Trains, Black Hawks & Bondi Boss: Deportation Drama 2025

KEY POINTS

•San Antonio's joint task force arrested over 140 alleged Tren de Aragua gang members last weekend, surpassing arrests in Charlotte and Chicago.
•The FBI and ICE lead task forces with a goal of combatting cartels and gangs, launching full implementation in September via Trump’s Day One EO.
•Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security's Kristi Noem oversee centralized command centers in states including South Texas and Alaska.
•ICE falls short of ambitious 3,000 daily arrest goal, increasingly relying on Border Patrol tactics amid community backlash and legal challenges.

While ICE soaked up the spotlight, new FBI-ICE task forces are quietly crushing deportation game. San Antonio just arrested 140 alleged Tren de Aragua gang members—way more than ICE and Border Patrol’s 130 arrests in Charlotte or the cheeky 37 snagged amidst Chicago’s Black Hawk helicopter fanfare. These task forces, riding shotgun under Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem, run a swanky Day One Exec Order show that kicked off full throttle in September. But don’t get too hopeful; the DOJ's magic plan to deport a million a year misses daily targets, sparks community lawsuits, and pulls agents from chasing child traffickers to playing cartel whack-a-mole.

San Antonio raids harder than a Black Hawk chopper on clearance sale, but hey, gotta distract from missed deportation targets and lawsuits, right? Pam Bondi + Kristi Noem running cartel summersault camp while DHS chases ghosts.
