Joe Biden's legacy may end up including a lot of different things: his leftist promotions of abortion for all and transgenderism for children likely will be there.
Also, possibly there will be his record as a president who continued in office even though his mental powers were obviously declining, to the point that a special counsel gave him a pass on a potential criminal case involving secret government documents because of his lack of mental powers.
But also will be his decision to open America's borders, allowing in millions of illegal aliens, including criminals and even terrorists.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt explained, "We are in the process of carrying out the largest deportation campaign in American history. After four years of being vilified by the Biden-Harris administration, our heroic ICE officers can finally do their jobs."
And Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Tom Homan pointed out that Joe Biden was the first president in the nation's history "who came into office and unsecured a border on purpose."
He noted he'd worked for six presidents.
"Every president I ever worked for took border security seriously because you can't have national security if you don't have strong border security."
He said even Barack Obama and Bill Clinton acknowledged the need for border security.
"Joe Biden was the first president in the history of this nation who came into office and unsecured a border on purpose," he said.
Homan noted that under President Donald Trump, the number of illegal aliens found at the border have dropped from 15,000 a day, during Biden's tenure, to 178.
"When 96% less people are coming [across the border], how many women aren't being sexually assaulted by the cartels? How many children aren't dying making that journey? How many women and children aren't being sex-trafficked into this country? How many known and suspected terrorists aren't making it into this nation? How many pounds of fentanyl isn't getting into this country to kill young Americans?"
A report from Fox News said, "Recent high-profile deportations have seen migrants deported to an El-Salvador mega prison after the president invoked the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 wartime immigration law, to deport Venezuelan gang members. That move has since been held up in court with the Trump administration opting to deport 17 alleged members of Tren de Aragua to El Salvador from Guantánamo Bay on Sunday night via Title 8."
The Trump administration also on Monday posted pictures of illegals who have been arrested, with a list of charges against them, on the White House lawn.

A top adviser to President Donald Trump says federal judges trying to stop the America First agenda are now "completely out of control" and are "basically usurping the power of the president."
The remarks by Kari Lake, U.S. Agency for Global Media senior adviser and former Arizona gubernatorial candidate, came on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel.
"The president has Article II powers to run the executive branch of this government, and we're seeing a whole handful of judges trying to stop that and really subvert the will of the people," Lake said.
"The beautiful thing about President Trump is he wants to come in and bring this government under control."
Lake added that she doesn't think the obstructions will work in the end.
"I believe that eventually, these cases will move higher up and President Trump will be victorious, but unfortunately, it's the delay that's preventing the work from being done."
"I wish we could just skip right over and get to the Supreme Court and get this taken care of. Because in many of these cases, you've got Soros-linked attorneys who are just trying to make some money and delay the president's agenda.
"And you've got judges who, in many cases, may be compromised. We're seeing some of this around the country. Why are they doing this? And so, I think it will eventually get to the Supreme Court.
"My concern, and I believe the concern of the American people, is the delay and the time that is ticking away, keeping President Trump, keeping people like me that he has brought in and hired to do our job, and it's very concerning that judges are behaving this way. I would rather follow the Constitution than a judge who's got an agenda."
When asked about a Wisconsin judge arrested this week for allegedly trying to thwart federal immigration officials by helping an illegal alien avoid capture, Lake responded, "If you break the law, you end up being charged. If you break the law, you end up in handcuffs, and it appears that this judge broke the law."
"We're making sure that the law is applied here. Doesn't matter if you're a judge or if you're a regular, everyday person. And so I think if she broke the law, if what is said about what happened, what transpired in that courthouse, is true, then she deserves to be, frankly, in handcuffs. … She will get her due process, and we will figure out what happened."
"It's appalling that a judge would try to harbor or protect an illegal immigrant," Lake added. "The victim that he allegedly abused was right there in the courtroom, and she's trying to protect the abuser and the illegal immigrant."
Lake concluded: "It's unbelievable what's happening in this country right now, and this is just an attempt, in my opinion, to stop President Trump and his America First agenda that the people overwhelmingly voted for. Thankfully, the president has brought in some really good fighters to D.C., people who don't want to become permanent creatures. I'm just as happy to DOGE myself out of a job, and go on and help President Trump in another way. But he's brought in people who want to get the job done. And these judges are trying to stop its from getting the job done."
"In the end we will prevail. It's gonna take a little bit of time, and it's unfortunate these judges don't care more about America and the will of the American people."

It's not observed until the autumn, but President Donald Trump is wasting no time gearing up for Columbus Day, the commemoration of explorer Christopher Columbus landing ashore in the Americas on Oct. 12, 1492.
"I'm bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes," Trump said Sunday on Truth Social.
"The Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much.
"They tore down his Statues, and put up nothing but 'WOKE,' or even worse, nothing at all!
"Well, you'll be happy to know, Christopher is going to make a major comeback.
"I am hereby reinstating Columbus Day under the same rules, dates, and locations as it has had for all of the many decades before!"
Columbus has been the subject of numerous controversies in recent years, with some of his statues removed and even one Detroit teacher wearing a sweatshirt to work on Columbus Day 2019, which read "COLUMBUS WAS A MURDERER" in order to, she claims, "spark discussion."
According to WXYZ, fifth-grade teacher Emma Howland-Bolton said she wanted to "have a conversation" with her Clipper Multicultural Magnet Honors Academy students regarding "different perspectives."
However, a Clipper administrator told her she would have to change her shirt, and she was informed the statement was "her opinion." Howland-Bolton countered that it "is a fact."

Already, a former judge in New Mexico and his wife have been arrested for housing an alleged member of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua terror organization, and a Wisconsin judge has been charged for helping an illegal alien escape from federal agents who arrived at the courthouse during his hearing to take him into custody.
That's probably not the end of actions against activist judges who use their judicial powers to thwart the president's border security agenda, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi
"No one's above the laws in this country," she said. "And if you are destroying evidence, if you're obstructing justice, when you have victims sitting in a courtroom of domestic violence and you're escorting a criminal defendant out a back door, it will not be tolerated, and it is a crime in the United States of America. Doesn't matter who you are, you're going to be prosecuted."
The latest arrest was of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, who was taken into custody by the FBI for allegedly hiding a previously deported illegal immigrant in her jury room in order to stop him from being arrested by ICE.
Fox News reported Dugan was charged with obstruction.
In an interview on "American Reports," Bondi explained how the Trump administration will handle judges who obstruct and block federal efforts to secure the border and remove illegal aliens.
"We are going to prosecute you, and we are prosecuting you. I found out about this the day it happened," she said.
"We could not believe, actually, that a judge really did that. We looked into the facts in great depth… You cannot obstruct a criminal case. And really, shame on her. It was a domestic violence case of all cases, and she's protecting a criminal defendant over victims of crime."
Dugan is accused of protecting illegal alien Eduardo Flores-Ruiz after his criminal court hearing before Dugan just days ago.
"Dugan demanded that the (federal) officers proceed to the chief judge's office and – after his hearing ended – escorted Flores-Ruiz and his attorney out a restricted jury door, bypassing the public area where agents were waiting in order to help him avoid arrest, per the complaint," the report said.
Bondi pointed out that Flores-Ruiz fled on foot, creating a threat to the public.
"We're sending a very strong message today," she said. "If you are harboring a fugitive, we don't care who you are. If you're helping hide one, if you are giving a TDA member guns, anyone who is illegally in this country, we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."
The earlier arrests were of ex-New Mexico Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano.
They allegedly harbored a suspected Tren de Aragua terror group member, Cristhian Ortega-Lopez.

Leftist judges appointed by extremists in American politics like Joe Biden and Barack Obama have been part of a strategic warfare against President Donald Trump, according to a new analysis by the Federalist.
And the failure of the Supreme Court to rein in their actions means the credibility of the Supreme Court itself is collapsing.
Recent polling, in fact, showed more than half of Americans have an unfavorable view of the court.
The analysis explained: "Throughout Wednesday and Thursday alone, judges across multiple venues handed down decrees barring numerous executive actions taken by the president since returning to office. From DEI to election policy, these cases are but a few of the more than 170 lawsuits Democrats and left-wing political actors have filed to sabotage Trump and the 77 million Americans who voted for him."
This is the lawfare that the high court "seems to have no interest in stopping it," it said. "The nation's highest court has had ample opportunities to halt these lower court judges' destructive antics but has repeatedly declined to do so."
One missed opportunity was the March ruling in which the court, 5-4, refused to shut down a ruling from a Biden judge who demanded that the government hand out $2 billion in cash through USAID to various outsiders. The Trump administration had shut down those operations and canceled funding programs for their obvious bias and corruption.
Justice Samuel Alito pointed out the politics involved: "Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars? The answer to that question should be an emphatic 'No,' but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise."
That decision, the analysis confirmed, "all but gave the green light to activist judges across the country to take similar actions on leftist-backed lawsuits filed in their respective jurisdictions."
Why would the court move in that direction? The analysis explained, "SCOTUS's inclination to tolerate judicial tyranny among the lower courts is perhaps unsurprising, however, given that a majority of the justices have indicated their own infatuation with overstepping the constitutional limits erected by America's founding document."
That resulted in a decision, "in the dead of night on Easter weekend, without explanation," when seven of the justices "essentially usurped the executive branch's authority over immigration by blocking Trump's deportation of Venezuelan gang members."
The result, the analysis pointed out, is that "the high court's antics are doing more damage to its reputation than leftists' smear campaigns ever could."
"By refusing to rein in the lower courts' lawlessness, the justices have authorized a judicial coup that is stymying the will of the 77 million Americans who voted for Trump."

The U.S. Department of Justice has just escalated its battle against members of Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan terrorist organization that has moved into America and "destroyed American families with brutal violence … [and] human trafficking."
Explained U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, on the filing of organized crime charges against 27 gang members, "As alleged, Tren de Aragua is not just a street gang – it is a highly structured terrorist organization that has destroyed American families with brutal violence, engaged in human trafficking, and spread deadly drugs through our communities. Today's indictments and arrests span three states and will devastate TdA's infrastructure as we work to completely dismantle and purge this organization from our country."
Matthew Podolsky, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, filed the cases against 27 individuals, and said, "Today, we have filed charges against 27 alleged members, former members, and associates of Tren de Aragua, for committing murders and shootings, forcing young women trafficked from Venezuela into commercial sex work, robbing and extorting small businesses, and selling 'tusi,' a pink powdery drug that has become their calling card. Today's Indictments make clear that this office will work tirelessly to keep the law-abiding residents of New York City safe, and hold accountable those who bring violence to our streets."
The charges were listed in two superseding indictments that named the individuals, and alleged "racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking conspiracy, drug trafficking conspiracy, robbery, and firearms offenses."
"Of the 27 defendants, 21 are in federal custody, including 16 who were already in federal criminal, immigration, or state custody and five who were arrested last night and today in operations in New York and other jurisdictions," the federal announcement said.
Border czar Tom Homan said: "Every member of TdA should be on the run because the Trump administration is committed to removing every single member of TdA and MS-13 from this country."
Todd M. Lyons, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said, "We are at the forefront of efforts to identify, disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal gangs like Tren de Aragua from operating in our cities and around the world."
"Tren de Aragua is one of the most dangerous gangs in the country, and the NYPD has taken significant action to shut down their operations in New York City. For the first time ever, TdA is being named and charged as the criminal enterprise that it is. This isn't just street crime—it's organized racketeering, and this gang has shown zero regard for the safety of New Yorkers. As alleged in the indictment, these defendants wreaked havoc in our communities, trafficking women for sexual exploitation, flooding our streets with drugs, and committing violent crimes with illegal guns," explained NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch.
The charges allege TdA is a "criminal organization" and works to build its own power through "acts involving murder, assault, robbery, other acts of violence, and threats of violence, including acts of violence and threats of violence directed at former members and associates of TdA who associated with a splinter organization known as Anti-Tren."
Also cited are activities including smuggling individuals, "including young women from Venezuela, into Peru and the U.S." for "sex trafficking."
Part of the gang's operations include terrorizing victims and potential victims, defending its members caught committing crimes and concealing criminal activities.
The DOJ announcement included a long list of names and an even longer list of aliases.
"This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Justice Department to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN). In February 2025, Tren de Aragua was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization," the announcement said.

U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., had a busy Easter weekend, with at least two men offended by the congresswoman's stand against the LGBT agenda confronting her in public.
The first was Saturday as Mace shopped for some face wash in a makeup store. A man "wearing daisy dukes," the lawmaker reported, confronted her, calling her a "nasty b*tch."
Two days later, Mace spoke at a University of South Carolina Turning Point USA event and was approached by a man in a dress who had been offended by her use of the word "babe."
According to the Gateway Pundit, 20-year-old student Harley Hicks, who uses she/they pronouns, approached the stage and demanded an apology from Mace.
"Does your husband call you 'babe'?" Hicks asked Mace.
Mace responded by pointing out that she was not married. Hicks then became angrier and demanded an apology from the congresswoman.
"Even better. So I would like for you to apologize because it is derogatory," he retorted. "And second of all …"
At that moment, Mace interrupted Hicks and asked her interrogator:
"Is tranny derogatory?"
Upon hearing this, Hicks' voice suddenly changed and became deeply masculine.
"Well, yeah! Of course it f**king is!" he bellowed. Oops.
"This guy in a dress wanted me to apologize for using the word 'babe.' Told him no. That I didn't care if he was offended," Mace said on X.
"And then I dropped the word tr*ns, fast. Look what happened next."

U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi hosted Trump administration officials at the Department of Justice on Tuesday for a meeting on the Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias Task Force, which President Trump had directed her to form.
"Together, this task force will identify any unlawful anti-Christian policies, practices or conduct across the government, seek input from faith-based organizations and state government to end anti-Christian bias, find and fix deficiencies in existing and regulatory practice that might contribute to the anti-Christian bias," Bondi said.
Bondi said the Biden administration's Department of Justice "abused and targeted Christians."
"As President Trump has stated, the Biden administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses. The president is right," Bondi said. "President Biden declared Easter Sunday to be Transgender Day of Visibility. No longer."
As reported by WGME, many top Trump Cabinet members were in attendance at the meeting, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, FBI Director Kristi Noem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
The task force drew criticism from Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
"Rather than protecting religious beliefs, this task force will misuse religious freedom to justify bigotry, discrimination, and the subversion of our civil rights laws," said Rachel Laser, the group's president and CEO.

A family-owned plumbing corporation in Illinois is being forced into court after cops confiscated a company truck when it was hit in a traffic accident, and have refused to return it to the owners. For more than a year.
The Liberty Justice Center has released a report on the fight against the Winnebago County sheriff's office and the local state's attorney, "for illegally seizing and indefinitely holding – for 15 months so far – the property of First Supply, LLC, simply because it was an innocent bystander to an auto accident."
"The government cannot take your property without a warrant or warrant exception—let alone indefinitely and without giving you any way to get it back—just because you were an innocent bystander to someone else's alleged crime," explained Loren Seehase, of LJC. "We look forward to vindicating the Fourth Amendment rights of First Supply and all innocent crime victims and bystanders."
Company lawyer Brittney Corrillaud said, "It was hard enough to have our delivery driver be involved in a fatal car accident. But to indefinitely lose our truck to impoundment hampers our ability to make a profit and pay our employees. We never could have expected that months would pass without getting it back, and now we pay thousands of dollars a month extra just to serve our customers. To add insult to injury, we've spent hours trying to retrieve our property only to be passed from person to person at the state's attorney's office, ignored by the prosecutor, and offered no support."
The war was triggered in January 2024 when an alleged drunk driver ran a red light and crashed his vehicle into a First Supply delivery truck, which was stopped, legally, at a stoplight.
"Tragically, the driver's passenger was killed on impact. First Supply was in no way responsible for the accident, but the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office seized First Supply's truck from the scene as evidence, without a warrant, and without any exigent circumstances justifying the warrantless seizure," the report said.
Then, in the months following, while First Supply complied with the law enforcement investigation, the truck remained locked up.
At one point, a sergeant said the sheriff's investigators were finished with the truck, but still, the truck was not released.
The traffic case was even dismissed without the truck's release, and then a new criminal case was filed.
"During this entire process, neither the sheriff's office nor the state's attorney's office contacted First Supply to return the truck. In fact, at no point during this entire ordeal has either office provided First Supply a process, procedure, or even a timeline as to when it can get its truck back," the legal team charged.
So, for 15 months, the company has been paying for a truck it cannot use, as well as a replacement.
LJC said it now has a lawsuit pending over the confiscation of the vehicle, and it cites the Constitution's Fourth Amendment.

A top Republican senator says the federal district judge who has opposed President Donald Trump's deportation flights of violent, criminal illegal aliens apparently wants to be president instead of his current position on the bench.
"It can't be like getting an act of Congress every time you want to export a dangerous violent felon illegal immigrant," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on "Sunday Morning Futures" on the Fox News Channel.
"And yet, you've got people like Judge [James] Boasberg who apparently wish they had gone into politics and would rather be serving as president of the United States than a federal district judge who are essentially cosplaying as chief executive officers of the United States government."
"The minute you start to have judicial officers performing the tasks that belong fundamentally to the either the executive or legislative branch, you've got a problem. And I'm hoping the Supreme Court can help us get this cleared up and cleaned up quickly."
Lee noted: "We've been flooded with millions, some would say tens of millions, of illegal immigrants."
The senator also expressed support for Trump's efforts to change the way birthright citizenship is handled in America.
"What President Trump has done is issue an executive order directing agencies prospectively, not to recognize the birthright citizenship … unless at the time of their birth they had at least one parent who was either a citizen or a lawful permanent resident," Lee explained.
"This is a close question. It's a debatable case, and I think it could go either way. I look forward to hearing the arguments and I hope the Supreme Court will sustain what President Trump is trying to do to clean up this invasion that President Biden invited into our country."
"Ideally we should pass legislation," he added. "Harry Reid who later became the Senate Democratic majority leader introduced in 1993 legislation that would do what essentially President Trump is trying to do by executive order."
Lee also voiced support for the SAVE Act, requiring identification to be provided by voters.
"We want to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat," he said.
