The Trump administration has cracked down on illegal migration in historic fashion, but removals must be scaled up dramatically in order to deliver on the promise of mass deportations, according to a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official.
“Let’s shoot for 12 million this year, and then maybe double that,” Katie Zacharia told Border Hawk in a new interview.
Zacharia, a high-profile attorney from California who briefly served as DHS spokeswoman earlier this year, says every illegal alien who does not self-deport must be removed from U.S. soil.
“I hope we still see mass deportations. That would be the best thing for our republic, and it would be truly the best thing for President Trump’s legacy to effectuate these deportations, and then people can come here the right way. They can come here legally,” Zacharia said.
“You have to do what you say you’re going to do. If we said we’re going to mass deport, we need to mass deport. And what does that mean? We need to go after every single person who’s not just a ‘worst of the worst’ — every single person who is here illegally.”
When asked to address retired U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino’s stunning claims there may be 100 million illegal aliens living in the country, Zacharia signaled his estimate may very well be accurate.
“I do want to highlight that that number is a baseline targeted number. We’re not just speculating here,” she asserted.
“If there are 100 million people, that’s [about] one quarter of our population, that sounds about right.”
Zacharia explained that her stint at DHS was brief due to significant personnel changes at the time, the strain it placed on her family as a mother of four, and because she feels better equipped to battle open-borders radicals as a private citizen who appears frequently on cable news programs.
“I think that I am much more effective on the outside because I can call out — hardcore — our sanctuary governor, our sanctuary mayor, and really take it to task on a real-time basis, especially as we head into this midterm elections and also into the gubernatorial for California,” she said.
“We are now a much safer country under President Trump, because he turned up the heat on actually protecting our border and protecting our interior. And so, I was very excited to be able to have the opportunity to really defend President Trump’s primary mission, which was to secure the homeland.”

Things are a little too quiet. What’s going on??
No right to be here in the first place means they’re all illegals.
Always a “former” never a current saying the truth. However the real number is likely over 100 million illegals. There’s no way they’ve any intention of going after them. We’ve been sold out again. The dems will have their illegal votes, and we will slip into communist slavery just like Norman Matoon Thomas foretold. “The American people will never knowingly nor willingly accept communism, but will do so under the guise of freedom and democracy”.. And that he no longer had to seek high office because the democrat party had accepted their platform.” He said that in 1943, he was a six time candidate for POTUS for some communist party of America. “Freedom and Democracy” sound familiar?
The ONLY way to get 99% of the illegals out is not going to be pretty, and it doesn’t involve government. We are going to have to have a drought, famine, and economic collapse but only in the USA.
All the illegals will say “screw this place, I’m going back home” and they’ll self deport. Americans have nowhere to go, this IS our home. We’ll have to hang tough.
Trump Is moving to the left for mid term votes. Hate that but after the election he better push deportations massively.
Trump moved himself into a swamp creature.
Trump isnt mass deporting. Just more campaign lies.
AJ just can’t say no to celebrity, money, to all the perks that come from being a traitor to humanity. Trump and everyone around him have sold their souls for all the shiny shite that rusts and decays. When you only believe in the here and now it’s easy to grab for everything you can grab. Don’t you love how they tell us we just need to vote harder and to blindly support our team of choice and we’ll get the change we’re told to embrace. Most folks believe, want to believe, that it’s not all a lie, a demonic, death dealing lie that only wants to torture and kill us. Enjoy. Keep dreaming their dream. Keep listening and believing in AJ and all the other promoted influencers who keep the sleepy time music playing.
Disgusting.
