From Fox News: The White House lawn is lined with posters of 100 of the “worst illegal immigrant criminals” arrested in the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term.
“Good Morning from The White House!” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X on Monday morning, sharing video of the posters, which say “arrested” at the top and appear to have a mugshot or other photo of the person followed by the label “illegal alien.”
The bottom of the poster lists a crime the person is accused of committing, including rape, murder, sexual assault of a child, lewd acts in front of a child, and distribution of fentanyl and illegal guns.

The White House X account also posted a video of the mugshot posters and wrote, “Under Joe Biden, criminal illegal aliens called the shots. Under President Trump, it’s a new dawn, a new day, a new life for America — and we’re feeling good. 🎶.”

“We will hunt you down. You will face justice. You will be deported — and you will never set foot on American soil again. Oh, and your mugshot may just end up on a yard sign at the White House,” a second post reads.

In another post, the White House posted a video of an MSNBC news broadcast, as they reacted to the situation. In the broadcast, a Morning Joe host lamented that the posters had been erected directly behind the press area where reporters do their live hits on the White House lawn. Now, the posters will be visible in every single news hit, no matter who the network is. Even on MSNBC.
Humorously, the White House responded, “Chess, not checkers. MSNBC finally reports on the child rapists, murderers, fentanyl dealers, and violent illegal aliens Biden let loose to destroy our communities. Thankfully, the Trump administration is hunting them down.”

Sure enough, the posters appear in the background of the outdoor media hits. Here’s one:
It’s all @POTUS, especially on the 18 important trading partners.
We are doing bespoke deals, and the President is going to be intimately involved in each one.
He has laid the groundwork and told them personally how important the relationships are—but also how important a fair… pic.twitter.com/vtpnYM9yD8

Liberal journalist Aaron Rupar also noted, “The White House has placards of mugshots set up in the area where reporters do media hits today.”

Many conservatives are mocking MSNB for complaining about the posters.
Podcaster Shawn Farash mocked, “MSNBC is losing their MINDS over the mugshot lawn signs at the White House. No issue with Trump’s mugshot… but when it’s the mugshot of illegal alien gang members and drug traffickers THAT’S CROSSING THE LINE! What a joke.”

Podcaster Benny Johnson called it an “Alpha move.”

Liberals are already freaking out over the mugshot posters.
Prominent X user and “lifelong Dem” Christopher Webb fumed, “A disgusting new level of propaganda. Karoline Leavitt wasted taxpayer dollars plastering mug shots across the White House lawn — like trophies. Lies. Fear. Dehumanization. All to distract us from their own failures.”

ABC News, another liberal outlet, wrote, “Posters displaying individuals the Trump administration claims are unauthorized migrants who’ve been arrested for committing crimes are being displayed on the White House driveway on Monday.”
