White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the move as sending a “strong and clear message” to the world about the consequences of illegal entry into the United States.

Photos were released showing individuals boarding military aircraft for these deportation flights, though specifics on who was being deported and the locations were not immediately disclosed. The announcement comes amidst reports from ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations stating that over 460 illegal immigrants, with criminal backgrounds ranging from sexual assault to drug offenses, were arrested in a 33-hour span between January 21 and January 22, 2025.

This initiative aligns with Trump’s campaign promises to enact the largest deportation operation in American history if re-elected, aiming to deport millions of those without legal permission to reside in the U.S. However, experts from the University of Southern California (USC) have highlighted significant legal, logistical, and financial challenges associated with such an operation. They note that previous deportations under Trump’s first term never exceeded 350,000 annually, far from the millions he has pledged to deport, due to constraints in manpower, cooperation from local law enforcement, and the sheer scale of the undocumented population, estimated at around 11 million.

The policy has stirred a mix of support and criticism. Supporters on social platforms laud the action as a necessary step towards securing the country, while critics warn of the human and economic costs, including the potential for family separations and disruptions to communities.

The administration’s move also recalls past policies, like the “Remain in Mexico” program, and indicates a possible return to expedited removals and other restrictive measures to control immigration. These actions could face legal challenges, as previous similar policies have, with groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) preparing for potential court battles over the legality and ethics of such mass deportations.

The Trump administration’s swift actions on immigration policy underscore a continuation of his first-term agenda, now with potentially more aggressive implementation, aiming to make an immediate impact on border control and internal immigration enforcement.

Egg Prices Catapult Into ‘Blue-Sky Breakout’ as Bird Flu Sparks Worsening Shortage https://americanconservativemovement.com/egg-prices-catapult-into-blue-sky-breakout-as-bird-flu-sparks-worsening-shortage/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/egg-prices-catapult-into-blue-sky-breakout-as-bird-flu-sparks-worsening-shortage/#respond Fri, 24 Jan 2025 13:26:12 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/egg-prices-catapult-into-blue-sky-breakout-as-bird-flu-sparks-worsening-shortage/ (Zero Hedge)—An ongoing and devastating avian influenza outbreak has severely dented the nation’s egg-producing hen population, driving wholesale prices into record-high territory and far surpassing the price explosion seen a few years ago when the bird flu first emerged. This is an alarming trend, and egg prices at the supermarket will likely rise further in the weeks and months ahead.

The latest wholesale data from Urner Barry shows that the price for a dozen eggs has jumped to a record high of $5.4, exceeding the previous peak of $4.65 set in December 2022. Rising wholesale prices are expected to continue pressuring supermarket prices higher.

According to the USDA’s bird flu dashboard, 15.5 million birds across the Lower 48 have been infected by avian influenza over the last 30 days.

About 20 million egg-laying hens died in the fourth quarter of 2024 because of the escalating health crisis, denting the nation’s egg-laying population.

“Unlike in past years, in 2024, all major production systems experienced significant losses, including conventional caged, cage-free, and certified organic types,” USDA wrote in a report earlier this month.

The end result is this:

Readers may want to consider building or purchasing chicken coops to secure their own egg supply, as shortages are expected to persist. Additionally, a growing trend among some Americans involves sourcing clean food from mom-and-pop farms or utilizing their own land for food production. It may be time for folks to shift away from toxic food supply chains controlled by mega-corporations.

Mexican Military Dismantles 2025’s First Migrant Caravan: Trump’s Leadership Inspires Tough Action on Illegal Immigration https://americanconservativemovement.com/mexican-military-dismantles-2025s-first-migrant-caravan-trumps-leadership-inspires-tough-action-on-illegal-immigration-video/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/mexican-military-dismantles-2025s-first-migrant-caravan-trumps-leadership-inspires-tough-action-on-illegal-immigration-video/#respond Fri, 24 Jan 2025 12:55:10 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/mexican-military-dismantles-2025s-first-migrant-caravan-trumps-leadership-inspires-tough-action-on-illegal-immigration-video/ In a powerful display of strength and sovereignty, the Mexican military has dismantled the first migrant caravan of 2025. This decisive action reflects not only Mexico’s growing resolve to tackle the migration crisis but also the undeniable influence of President Donald Trump’s uncompromising stance on illegal immigration.

Trump’s Leadership Sparks Tough Foreign Action

President Trump’s return to the White House has sent a clear message to the world: the era of open borders and unchecked migration is over. His firm policies and unwavering commitment to protecting American sovereignty have reignited respect—and perhaps even a measure of fear—among foreign leaders who had grown accustomed to the Biden administration’s more lenient approach. Mexico’s swift and forceful response to the migrant caravan is almost certainly a direct result of Trump’s leadership.

With mass deportations beginning, President Trump’s administration has reinstated key policies like “Remain in Mexico” and canceled programs that previously incentivized illegal crossings. This has pushed Mexico to step up enforcement along its borders, knowing that Trump will hold foreign governments accountable for enabling illegal migration.

Mexico’s Military Crackdown: Inspired by Trump’s Stand

Roughly 8,000 migrants, many from Central and South America, began their journey northward by crossing into Mexico from Guatemala. They demanded free transit permits in Tapachula, but the Mexican government, emboldened by Trump’s pressure, denied their requests. Instead, a wall of 200 soldiers blocked their advance, delivering a message that echoed Trump’s own philosophy: “Nobody shall step on our land without permission.”

The operation included the blocking of the Suchiate River and the deployment of tear gas and pepper spray to counter violent clashes with migrants armed with sticks and stones. This strong military presence, unseen in earlier migration crises, sent a clear signal that Mexico will no longer tolerate mass illegal crossings. Hundreds were detained and returned to the south side of the Guatemalan border, while others were dispersed into smaller groups. […]

The Whole “Climate Change” Hoax Needs to Be Removed From All U.S. Education Books https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-whole-climate-change-hoax-needs-to-be-removed-from-all-u-s-education-books/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-whole-climate-change-hoax-needs-to-be-removed-from-all-u-s-education-books/#respond Fri, 24 Jan 2025 12:50:54 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-whole-climate-change-hoax-needs-to-be-removed-from-all-u-s-education-books/
  • School science curriculums are accused of promoting “fake science” by pushing unproven theories of global warming and climate change as solid facts.
  • The movement behind climate change is seen as a conspiracy by truth media and honest scientists, and wealthy elites who promote “going green” are hypocritical as they engage in environmentally contradictory behaviors.
  • There is a call to remove climate change teachings from school curriculums, viewing it as a hoax and an agenda-driven narrative rather than a scientifically backed phenomenon.
  • (Natural News)—Step foot into any school, public or private, at any level, including elementary, middle, or high school, and open a science book and what do you find? Fake science. There are gobs of lessons, lesson plans, supplementary materials, projects, experiments, illustrations and videos that support the unproven (conspiracy) theory of global warming. Children and teens alike have brains like sponges, that are absorbing all of this and wondering how they can write a report, create a project, do their own presentation, and contribute on the local, regional, and global scale to a cause that most likely doesn’t even change anything. What a shame.

    Climate change is just a theory, but every school in America has curriculum now that states it as a solid, evidence-based fact of the world

    It’s just a theory, this whole “climate change” speculation, that used to be called “global warming,” until all the real temperature data was revealed, showing we are actually in a very slow cooling phase for the next several millennia. There is no, and has never been any, real science proving “global warming” or “climate change” to be true. It’s just a theory, more like a conspiracy theory, purported and propagated mostly by the richest elites in the world who fly around on their private jets and ride on their enormous yachts preaching to the rest of the world about conserving energy and going “green.”

    Raging inferno-style fires and devastating regional floods around the nation are being whipped up and fueled by weather weapons and energy weapon technology that the U.S. government and military have secured patents for, in case you wanted to look it up. The glaciers are not shrinking, in fact, they are getting much bigger. The polar bears are not becoming extinct. The shores of America are not being swallowed up by “rising water levels.”

    The entire global warming hoax had to have its name restructured to “climate change” when truth news exposed the fake temperature charts and the cherry-picked heat data that fit the narrative of the biggest Ponzi scheme ever invented and perpetuated. The richest elite on the planet fly around the world on their fuel-burning private jets and cruise around the globe on their gas-guzzling yachts while preaching to America’s youth about “going green” to save humanity and the earth from bursting into flames in the next ten years.

    Donald J. Trump is finally in the driver’s seat again, and he plans to expunge all this nonsense about climate change from the economy, the school curriculum, and the globalist stages of stooges who make a fortune from the fake science scheme. Get this garbage out of the schoolbooks. Fake science has INFESTED school curriculum and it’s got to go. End the insanity. Science is never “settled.” Teach the children to question everything, including this fake global warming lie. It’s climate alarmism led by the climate cult.

    On Thursday Seattle-based US District Judge John Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, temporarily blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship order.

    According to President Trump’s order, the 14th Amendment is being misinterpreted by the left to give citizenship to ‘anchor babies.’

    “It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth,” Trump’s order stated.

    Trump’s order argued the 14th Amendment has always excluded babies born to people in the US illegally. […]

    11 Reasons Why the Federal Reserve Is Bad https://americanconservativemovement.com/11-reasons-why-the-federal-reserve-is-bad/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/11-reasons-why-the-federal-reserve-is-bad/#respond Fri, 24 Jan 2025 12:25:31 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/11-reasons-why-the-federal-reserve-is-bad/ (The Economic Collapse Blog)—Most Americans realize that the federal government is drowning in debt and that inflation is out of control.  But very few Americans can coherently explain where money comes from or how our financial system actually works.  For decades, bankers that we do not elect have controlled America’s currency, have run our economy into the ground, and have driven the U.S. government to the brink of bankruptcy.  The Federal Reserve is an institution that was designed to drain wealth from U.S. taxpayers and transfer it to the global elite.  Have you ever wondered why a sovereign nation such as the United States has to borrow United States dollars from anyone?  Have you ever wondered why a sovereign nation such as the United States does not even issue its own currency?  Have you ever wondered why we allow a group of unelected private bankers to run our economy?

    Those are some very important questions.  Hopefully what you are about to read will open the eyes of many.  The truth is that our financial system is centrally-controlled and centrally-managed by a group of banking oligarchs who oversee a constantly expanding debt spiral which could come crashing down at any time.  If the American people truly understood how our system works, they would be protesting in the streets right now.  The following are 11 reasons why the Federal Reserve is bad…

    1 – The Federal Reserve was created as a way to enslave the U.S. government.  In fact, the Federal Reserve system literally could not function without U.S. Treasury bonds.  Government debt is at the very core of the system, and our federal government is now trapped in a debt spiral from which it can never possibly escape because the system is operating exactly as it was designed.  Our national debt has been rising at an exponential rate, and that will continue to be the case until either the current system collapses or we adopt an entirely new system.

    2 – The individual Federal Reserve Banks are not “federal” at all.  In fact, on the official website of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, it is openly admitted that  Federal Reserve Banks “are not a part of the federal government” and that private banks “hold stock in the Federal Reserve Banks and earn dividends”…

    The Federal Reserve Banks are not a part of the federal government, but they exist because of an act of Congress. Their purpose is to serve the public. So is the Fed private or public?

    The answer is both. While the Board of Governors is an independent government agency, the Federal Reserve Banks are set up like private corporations. Member banks hold stock in the Federal Reserve Banks and earn dividends.

    3 – Why does the Federal Reserve issue our currency?  The U.S. Constitution explicitly gives Congress the power to issue our currency…

    [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; . . .

    4 – The Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air.  I asked Google AI about this, and this is what I was told…

    Yes, the Federal Reserve (Fed) creates money out of thin air by increasing the money supply. This process is called “creating money out of thin air” because it involves adding funds to the economy without printing currency.

    5 – The Federal Reserve devalues our currency.  Since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, the U.S. dollar has lost more than 96 percent of its purchasing power.  The truth is that just a two percent inflation rate will wipe out half of your purchasing power within a single generation.  In the chart below, you can clearly see that the beginning of the rapid rise of inflation in the United States coincided with the creation of the Federal Reserve.

    6 – The Federal Reserve manipulates the U.S. economy by setting interest rates.  By moving rates higher or lower, the Federal Reserve has the power to create economic growth or to destroy it.  They have the power to inflate massive economic bubbles and to pop them.  Most Americans believe that our presidents “run the economy”, but the truth is that the Federal Reserve has far more control over the economy than the White House does.  As you can see below, every recession since World War II has come after a period of rising interest rates.

    7 – The Federal Reserve also controls the national money supply.  They can pump trillions of dollars into the economy or pull trillions of dollars out of the economy without being accountable to anyone.  This can have absolutely disastrous consequences.  For example, inflation started getting wildly out of control after the Federal Reserve dramatically increased the size of the money supply during the pandemic.

    8 – The Federal Reserve has become far, far too powerful.  Our financial markets swing up and down whenever a Fed official makes an important statement, and every man, woman and child in the entire country is directly affected by the decisions that the Federal Reserve Board makes.  Ron Paul once told MSNBC that he believes that the Federal Reserve has actually become more powerful than Congress…

    “The regulations should be on the Federal Reserve. We should have transparency of the Federal Reserve. They can create trillions of dollars to bail out their friends, and we don’t even have any transparency of this. They’re more powerful than the Congress.”

    – The Federal Reserve is dominated by Wall Street and the New York banks.  The New York representative is the only permanent member of the Federal Open Market Committee, while the other members rotate.  The truth is that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has always been the most important of the regional Fed banks by far, and in turn the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has always been dominated by Wall Street and the major New York banks.

    10 – The Federal Reserve has completely eliminated minimum reserve requirements for our banks.  Fractional reserve banking has always been a way that the bankers have conned the public, but now they have gotten rid of minimum reserve requirements altogether.  This is literally insane.

    11 – The Federal Reserve is not accountable to the voters, and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is flaunting the fact that he cannot even be fired by President Trump

    Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell had a clear, direct response when asked during a press conference Thursday if he would step down if asked to do so by President-elect Trump.

    “No,” said Powell, whose term as chair ends in 2026.

    When asked to elaborate and if he would be legally required to leave, he again said, “No.”

    Powell later said it is “not permitted under the law” for the president to fire or demote him or any of the other Fed governors with leadership positions.

    Powell’s term will eventually end, but until then he can do whatever he wants.

    Shouldn’t we have some way to keep them accountable?

    After all, they have an incredible amount of power over us, shouldn’t we have at least a little bit of power over them?

    Nobody knows what is really going on inside the Federal Reserve, because we aren’t allowed to see.

    Unfortunately, the truth is that they desperately do not want light to be shined on the elaborate “shell game” that they are running.

    Have you ever wondered if it was just a coincidence that the personal income tax was implemented just about the same time that the Federal Reserve was created?

    Why does the U.S. government have to tax us at all?

    Prior to 1913, there was no personal income tax in this country.

    If you take a few minutes to stop and think about it, an America where there is no Federal Reserve, no personal income tax and no IRS is not that hard to imagine.

    If the U.S. government functioned just fine without all of them at one time, then why couldn’t the U.S. government function just fine without all of them now?

    The system that we have now is clearly not working.  The Federal Reserve was supposed to guarantee that our system would be perfectly stable, but in reality our system has become much more unstable.

    It is time for different thinking.  It is time for the U.S. government to take back control of our currency and to take back control of our economy.

    For more than a decade, I have been on a crusade to bring the Federal Reserve system to an end, and many others have been pushing for the exact same thing.

    Now that we have a new administration in Washington, perhaps they will be open to listening to us.

    New Trump Executive Order Bans Central Bank Digital Currencies https://americanconservativemovement.com/new-trump-executive-order-bans-central-bank-digital-currencies/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/new-trump-executive-order-bans-central-bank-digital-currencies/#respond Fri, 24 Jan 2025 12:16:08 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/new-trump-executive-order-bans-central-bank-digital-currencies/ (The National Pulse)—President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order barring federal agencies “from undertaking any action to establish, issue, or promote central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).” The controversial fiat digital currencies are issued by central banks in lieu of paper money and fall into the specific category of Retail CBDCs. Additionally, central banks can issue Wholesale CBDCs, which act similarly to a central bank’s reserve system.

    Also contained in the executive order are directives aimed at rescinding harmful regulations enacted by former President Joe Biden that negatively impact cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. “The Executive Order revokes the previous Administration’s Digital Assets Executive Order and the Treasury Department’s Framework for International Engagement on Digital Assets which suppressed innovation and undermined U.S. economic liberty and global leadership in digital finance,” a White House statement reads.

    President Trump’s move comes just over a year after The National Pulse reported that he pledged to prevent the creation of a CBDC by the U.S. government while campaigning in New Hampshire. “As your president, I will never allow the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency. Such a currency would give the federal government absolute control over your money. This would be a dangerous threat to freedom—and I will stop it from coming to America,” Trump said on January 17, 2024.

    Under former President Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, CBDCs saw a revival of interest from government policymakers. The Biden Treasury Department undertook studies on how to implement the use of a CBDC in the American economy. However, critics, including members of the Federal Reserve, have pointed to a digital currency’s potential to undermine the U.S. dollar—already the global reserve currency.

    In addition, numerous anti-CBDC activists argue the government-controlled digital tender could be abused to de-bank and spy on Americans.
