WALK OF DEMOCRATIC SHAME ...

 

WHITE HOUSE LAWN LINED WITH POSTERS DISPLAYING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS’ MUGSHOTS AND CRIMES THEY COMMITTED

The White House lawn has been lined with mugshot-style posters bearing the faces of 100 “arrested” illegal migrants — and lists of the despicable crimes some have committed.

The placards, emblazoned with “ARRESTED,” could be seen lined up along the White House driveway first thing Monday to showcase some of the worst offenders nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump’s first 100 days, a White House official told The Post.

“White House lawn looks a little different this AM,” Trump administration spokesperson Kaelan Dorr said in an X post.

“And they say yard signs don’t win elections…”

The signs , emblazoned with “ARRESTED,” feature photos of the migrants, as well as their apparent crimes — including “first-degree murder,” “sexual abuse of a child,” “kidnapping and rape,” “murder,” “rape of a child,” and “distribution of fentanyl.”

The White House’s official logo could be seen at the bottom of each poster.

The placards were strategically placed where news outlets film live shots in a bid to make sure they’re caught on camera, an official told Axios, who was first to report on the posters.

BUT WAIT THAT'S NOT ALL ...

ILLEGAL MIGRANT ACCUSED OF SNATCHING KRISTI NOEM’S GUCCI BAG IS IDENTIFIED AS SERIAL CRIMINAL FROM CHILE

The masked migrant who was arrested for stealing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gucci bag containing $3,000 in cash is a Chilean national who was previously busted for a similar scheme in London, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Mario Bustamante-Leiva, 49, of Santiago, was arrested Saturday after he allegedly made off with the luxury shoulder bag while Noem, 53, was at an Easter outing with her family at the Capital Burger in Washington, DC, sources told The Post.

Bustamante-Leiva, who is in the US illegally, is believed to be part of a large East Coast robbery organization.

Cops later arrested a second suspect — another illegal migrant — in Miami and are holding him on a deportation notice while finalizing charges, according to sources. 

The two suspects allegedly work together and have committed similar robbery schemes across the country, the sources said.

“Thank you to @SecretService @ICEgov and our law enforcement partners for finding and arresting the criminal who stole my bag on Easter Sunday as I shared a meal with my family at a Washington DC restaurant,” Noem wrote on X.  

“This individual is a career criminal who has been in our country illegally for years,” she added.  “Unfortunately, so many families in this country have been made victims by crime, and that’s why President Trump is working every single day to make America safe and get these criminal aliens off of our streets.”

US Attorney Ed Martin said it is not likely that Noem was targeted based on her high-profile position, adding that the suspects were probably attracted to the pricey Gucci bag — which also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge and apartment keys.

“It was frankly … a nice-looking purse. This was not an amateur. This was a person, a thief, that knew how to do this. You could see how he scouted the room out,” Martin told NBC News.

Security footage captured the moment the suspect in a N95 surgical mask, dark pants, a “fur-type” collar and a ball cap lifted the DHS honcho’s bag before leaving the restaurant — which is about a mile from the White House and features a signature burger for $23.

Bustamante-Leiva was previously arrested in 2015 for a five-month robbery spree in London, where he made off with nearly 28,000 worth of phones, wallets and computers, according to a report from the Daily Mail at the time.  

Martin said Bustamante-Leiva and his accomplice will never set foot in the country again now that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is involved in the case. 

“President Trump’s direction to us is we charge these folks that are here illegally and we prosecute them, as well as deport them when need be, you know, as soon as that can happen,” he told NBC. 

“What I can tell you is he won’t be back on the streets of America.”
