President Donald Trump on Monday had signs put up on the White House lawn featuring 100 criminal illegal immigrants who have been deported in his first 100 days.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a video of the signs before a press briefing on border security.
The signs were directly placed in front of media cameras on the driveway of the White House ensuring that they would be visible on TV.
‘We will hunt you down. You will face justice. You will be deported — and you will never set foot on American soil again,’ the White House posted early Monday morning on X.
‘Oh, and your mugshot may just end up on a yard sign at the White House.’
The list of names included illegals arrested for heinous crimes such as rape, murder, sexual assault of children, and dealing drugs.
Images of the lawn were shared on social media and broadcast on news channels.
‘What’s particularly noteworthy about this location is it’s right directly behind the positions where TV correspondents do their hits from the White House lawn,’ MSNBC Morning Joe anchor Jonathan Lemire reported on Monday morning.
‘No matter what network you are on, that includes MSNBC, If you’re doing a hit from the White House right now, those pictures will be behind you,’ he added.

White House Deputy Communications Director Kaelan Dorr posted a photo of the signs.
‘White House lawn looks a little different this AM and they say yard signs don’t win elections…’ he wrote.
The White House began the day with an early morning press conference with Trump’s border czar Tom Homan.
‘You can’t have national security if you don’t have strong border security,’ he said.
Trump’s communications team is kicking off a week of messaging surrounding the president’s first 100 days, beginning with his efforts to secure the border.
On Sunday, Trump celebrated a successful immigration raid in Colorado by sharing footage of agents raiding an underground nightclub.
Over 100 alleged illegal immigrants were arrested during the raid as authorities said members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and the Hells Angels were present at the club.

‘A big Raid last night on some of the worst people illegally in our Country — Drug Dealers, Murderers, and other Violent Criminals, of all shapes and sizes, and Judges don’t want to send them back to where they came from,’ Trump wrote.
‘If we don’t win this battle at the Supreme Court, our Country, as we know it, is FINISHED! It will be a Crime ridden MESS. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’
Trump also reacted to news coverage of his administration’s first 100 days, citing New York Times and ABC/Washington Post poll numbers showing his approval ratings down.
‘We don’t have a Free and Fair “Press” in this Country anymore. We have a Press that writes BAD STORIES, and CHEATS, BIG, ON POLLS. IT IS COMPROMISED AND CORRUPT,’ he wrote. ‘SAD!’
