President Trump’s main campaign platform was mass deportation
United States President Donald J. Trump, signed several executive orders on January 20, 2025, following his inauguration, among them the ‘Protecting the American People Against Invasion’.
One of Trump’s main platforms for his campaign was mass deportation and vowed to begin mass deportation on day one of his presidency.
The order according to reports highlights what the Trump administration calls an “unprecedented flood of illegal immigration” during the last four years.
The administration claims during those years, millions of undocumented migrants unlawfully entered the US.
If successful, this could be the largest mass deportation operation in US history.
ICE presence in the USVI
The Virgin Islands Consortium (VIC) reported that ICE in collaboration with the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and other federal law enforcement entities launched immigration enforcement efforts in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) and Puerto Rico.
Governor Albert A. Bryan Jr. informed the VIC on January 26, 2025, that ICE agents are monitory ferry operations.
ICE’s presence was also noted by residents in the St. Thomas-St. John district.
‘Promises made. Promises kept’- WH Press Secretary

Meanwhile, in a January 24, 2025, statement White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the five hundred and thirty-eight illegal immigrants arrested “illegal immigrant criminals”.

Karoline went on to add, “The largest deportation in history is well underway. Promises made. Promises kept.”
