It’s far from over.

Vice President JD Vance claimed that President Donald Trump’s administration was far from vanquished when it comes to fighting to apply immigration laws and deport illegal aliens on a massive scale, according to the Daily Wire.

Vance addressed those issues during an interview with the New York Times. He spoke of the injunctions and lower court rulings geared toward stopping the Trump administration from enforcing federal laws and delivering on one of the president’s main campaign promises.

Vance told the New York Times: “you cannot have a country where the American people keep on electing immigration enforcement, and the courts tell the American people they’re not allowed to have what they voted for. And that’s where we are right now.”

The Vice President continued: “we’re gonna keep working it through the immigration court process, through the Supreme Court as much as possible,” Vance said. 

“And look, success to me is not so much a number, though obviously I’d love to see the gross majority of the illegal immigrants who came in under Biden deported. That actually is a secondary metric of success,” Vance told The Times. “Success to me is that we have established a set of rules and principles that the courts are comfortable with, and that we have the infrastructure to do what allows us to deport large numbers of illegal aliens when large numbers of illegal aliens come into the country. That to me is real success.”

According to the Daily Wire, Vance defended Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport suspected criminal illegal alien gang members, contending that the people who have opposed it have never seen the impact of allowing unfettered illegal immigration to flood their communities.

“One thing I’d love for the American media to do a little bit more is really go to a migrant community where you have, say, 60% legal immigrants and 40% illegal immigrants. The level of chaos, the level of violence, the level of, I think, truly pre-modern brutality that some of these communities have gotten used to — whatever law was written, I think it vests us with very serious power to take very serious action against this,” he explained.
