This strategic positioning ensures that media correspondents reporting from that area cannot help but feature the posters in their broadcasts. Jonathan Lemire from MSNBC reported that approximately 100 such posters have been displayed, emphasizing their visibility during news coverage.<\/p>\n<p>The White House&#8217;s social media response indicated a calculated move on their part,with press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that the management aims to carry out the largest deportation campaign in American history.Throughout March 2025, the number of illegal crossings plummeted substantially compared to the same month in 2024. Leavitt and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem discussed the administration&#8217;s efforts, revealing that over 150,000 criminal illegal aliens have been arrested since Trump took office.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement of these arrests and the government&#8217;s firm stance on illegal immigration were also shared through various tweets and social media posts, reflecting the administration&#8217;s strong messaging regarding border security and crime linked to illegal immigration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>MSNBC acknowledged that President Donald Trump&rsquo;s White House press team made a strategic move by placing posters of illegal immigrants it has arrested, along with additional, often violent crimes they have committed, where the media cannot ignore them.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Morning Joe&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jonlemire?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">co-host<\/a> Jonathan Lemire reported Monday, &ldquo;The White House has put up about 100 posters of what they say are unauthorized immigrants who&rsquo;ve been arrested for violent crimes.
