MAGA Christian nationalist insists people of faith 'want to see mass deportations'

RAW STORY
A far-right Christian nationalist who previously served in the Trump administration says people who follow Christ are all in on Trump's plans for mass deportation.
William Wolfe, who recently met with White House faith adviser Paula White and joined several other Christian nationalists praying over Trump in the Oval Office, made the comments in an interview shared on X by Right Wing Watch.
"I told the White House faith office, I think Christians want to see mass deportations," said Wolfe. "You'll see a lot of, sort of, evangelical organizations attacking Trump's immigration policies and priorities. They're AstroTurf, they're left-leaning, they're using evangelical in a way that is not really historically accurate. But I'm telling you, I think that Southern Baptists and Christians want to see this happen."
Wolfe's statement contradicts centuries of history of Christian churches serving as sanctuaries for persecuted migrants, and recent reports suggest that roughly 10 million Christians are at risk of deportation from the United States under Trump's schemes, to the extent that some churches are taking precautions in how they hold services to protect their congregants.
Wolfe, who previously served in Trump's first administration and is part of a fringe group believing U.S. law is or should be subordinate to far-right interpretations of the Bible, has fought to erode or terminate the rights to same-sex marriage, abortion, contraception, sex education, surrogacy, and no-fault divorce. He also has ties to Russ Vought, the Project 2025 architect currently serving as Trump's head of the Office of Management and Budget.
Trump's aggressive deportation strategy purports to prioritize violent gang members and summarily expel them to an infamous, brutal megaprison in El Salvador; however, on multiple occasions, he has removed people with protected legal status and who had no record of criminal offenses.

‘Deport them all!’ MAGA world cheers ‘huge’ SCOTUS win and declares 'lawfare is crumbling'

Supporters of President Donald Trump’s hardline deportation policy took a victory lap on Monday following the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants.
The Monday legal win for Trump overturned U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s ruling temporarily blocking administration officials from moving forward with deportations under the wartime act– which an appeals court left untouched last week.
The Supreme Court’s decision was cheered as “a landmark victory for the rule of law” by Attorney General Pam Bondi, a position others in the MAGA world echoed throughout social media.
“An activist judge in Washington, DC does not have the jurisdiction to seize control of President Trump’s authority to conduct foreign policy and keep the American people safe,” Bondi concluded in a post on X. “The Department of Justice will continue fighting in court to make America safe again.”
“Another huge win,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) wrote in his own X post. “Woke activist judges have no business blocking the President from exercising his constitutional authority.”
“MAJOR VICTORY: SCOTUS ruled in favor of President Trump and will allow deportations under the Alien Enemies Act to continue,” Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) posted on X. “Judge Boasberg ignored precedent and must be held accountable. Now let’s get these criminal illegal aliens out of our country.”
Former Fox News and NBC News host Megyn Kelly told her X followers she was still reading through the ruling but added: “Bye Judge Boasberg!”
“SCOTUS just handed Boasberg his a-- on a platter,” MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman wrote on X. “They ruled against him and granted Trump the power to use The Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The Lawfare is crumbling!” He later added in a follow-up post: "This is HUGE! DEPORT THEM ALL! EXPEL THE INVADERS!"
“HOLY S--- The Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a MASSIVE win against Judge Boasberg,” the right-wing X account MAGA Voice wrote. “All Rogue Judges should be disbarred. I LOVE ALL THIS WINNING.”
