President Trump Is Not Acting Arbitrarily, He Is Executing The Laws As 56% Approve Of Handling Of Border And Immigration. Is He Declaring War On The Drug Cartels?https://dailytorch.com/2025/03/president-trump-is-not-acting-arbitrarily-he-is-executing-the-laws-as-56-approve-of-handling-of-border-and-immigration-is-he-declaring-war-on-the-drug-cartels/
56 percent of Americans approve of President Donald Trump’s handling of border security and immigration, according to the latest Fox News poll conducted March 14 to March 17, as the poll handed Trump his highest approval rating ever for a Fox poll at 49 percent. That includes majorities approving of Trump’s handling of the border and immigration in almost every demographic: 59 percent of men, 54 percent of women, 58 percent of Whites, 45 percent of Blacks, 51 percent of Hispanics, 51 percent under the age of 30, 54 percent under the age of 45 and 57 percent above the age of 45. And it cuts across party lines to a certain extent, with 51 percent of independents approving, 94 percent of Republicans and 19 percent of Democrats. More Democrats approve than Republicans disapprove — 19 percent to 5 percent, which is the real difference maker in the poll. The public mood measurement from Fox comes as President Trump and his administration seek to defend their aggressive approach to combating illegal immigration and deadly drug trafficking publicly and in federal courts. On March 15, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg sought to curtail via an injunction Trump’s proclamation the same day invoking the 1798 Alien Enemy Act that the international criminal organization Tren de Aragua, supported by Venezuela, is a “hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of and predatory incursion into the United States, and which poses a substantial danger to the United States.” The proclamation came the same day that the U.S. removed around 250 such enemy aliens were put on planes and to El Salvador, in whose jurisdiction they now reside. But, here, Trump is not acting arbitrarily. He is executing the laws of the land. President Trump declared Tren de Aragua and other drug cartels as terrorist organizations on Jan. 20 by executive order in accordance with 8 U.S. Code Sec. 1189, “Designation of foreign terrorist organizations.” Is Trump declaring war on the drug cartels?
