The Biden administration’s CBP One app facilitated the “mass illegal entry” of illegal immigrants, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday.
“It was like a fast pass at Disneyland,” Leavitt told The Daily Signal at a White House press briefing.
The Trump administration, however, repurposed the app to make it easier for illegal immigrants to self-deport. The CBP Home app provides illegal immigrants with a way to report their planned self-deportation to the Department of Homeland Security.
If illegal immigrants don’t self-deport, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has warned, “we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return.”
Leavitt said the droves of illegal immigrants entering the United States unencumbered by the law has ended.
“That’s not happening under this administration,” Leavitt said. “We are encouraging illegal immigrants to actively self-deport, to maybe save themselves from being in one of these fun videos.”
On Monday morning, the White House posted a video of illegal immigrants who belong to the terrorist criminal organization Tren de Aragua being put on planes for extradition.
The video was posted amid controversy about the deportation of the violent criminal aliens.
“I think the White House and our entire government clearly is leaning into the message of this president, and we are unafraid to double down and to take responsibility and ownership of the serious decisions that are being made,” Leavitt said at the briefing.
“The president was elected with an overwhelming mandate to launch the largest mass deportation campaign in American history,” she continued, “and that’s exactly what he is doing.”
Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was reported to have secretly orchestrated the Venezuelan gang members’ flights to El Salvador to get them out of the country before a left-wing judge ruled against the deportations, Axios reported.
U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg—a 2011 appointee of then-President Barack Obama—issued an order intended to block the president from deporting about 250 reputed Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act of 1789.
But the flights were already over international waters, so the ruling didn’t matter, the Trump administration aide said, according to Axios.

Karoline is a breath of fresh air. What a difference from the previous unserious person before her. God bless Karoline.
What kind of judge want gangs here in the US to kill and rob people this is what kind of people the Democrats want to be here time to get rid of those judges time to say why are the protecting gangs there is big money being paid by gangs and cartels to keep them here they want to have a foothold in the US and the judges are helping also some Democrats are there for them as well.
But the bleeding liberal approach is asking for delays in choosing those who are being deported, under the “correct assessment through the delay tactic of bureaucrat investigation to validate the claims charged”. What the outrage is about is how many loopholes were used to absolve those who got a green card but never became citizens of the assumption of citizen rights that they were not entitled to until they became citizens. Too many people equated getting a green card as the same as being a citizen but it was not the same thing. All that green card did was give them a semi-permanent status to live and work in the USA, BUT if they did any type of behavior deemed a criminal action no matter how minor, they faced loss of that green card status and could be deported.
So ask yourself who profited by not encouraging these individuals who got green cards to become permanent citizens as they intended to stay here permanently or was it just a business tactic to earn USA income to save for retirement back in their homeland? And if that was the main reason why could they not do the same in their native country?
Only difference being Disneyland never knowingly gave Fast Passes to gangsters, murderers, rapists, terrorists, or criminals like Biden and Congressional Democrats did!
