(DCNF)—Chris Hansen, host of “Takedown,”appeared Wednesday on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” to share his recent ride-along with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), saying the agency is actively getting “criminals out of this country.”
Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, the administration has prioritized cracking down on illegal immigration and conducting mass deportations.
“In the last month, we have caught 45 predators seeking to exploit children. Seven of those were for a new investigative series we have going on with ICE ERO [Enforcement and Removal Operations]. They go out after these people who are here illegally but have also been convicted of crimes against children,” Hansen said.
“We had one guy who lived — [a] convicted sex offender from Mexico — lived in a home next to a daycare facility and three blocks from a school. And as we’re doing this, anti-ICE protesters are rallying outside ICE headquarters with no idea as to what we just did,” Hansen added as Watters said the activists don’t like ICE outside of schools. “But it’s OK to have a registered sex offender next door to a daycare facility.”
Under Trump’s push for mass deportations, ICE has been conducting raids in major blue cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City. Despite voters in 2024 ranking the border crisis as a top concern under the Biden administration, Democrats have criticized the deportations and defended some of the illegal immigrants.
In April, Democrats rallied behind alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, demanding the administration bring him back to the U.S. after he was deported to El Salvador. While some Democrats showed support for him online, others, like Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, took taxpayer-funded trips to visit Garcia in El Salvador before he was brought back to the U.S.
Watters asked Hansen about his experience in the field with ICE and whether agents spoke to him about anything specific.
“They are very happy to have their hard work shown. These are dedicated men and women who are trying to get criminals out of this country. We’re not talking about somebody who didn’t check a box here. We’re talking about criminals. We watched in New Mexico one early morning as they arrested a guy who was under investigation for sexually assaulting children in the home at the time,” Hansen said.
“And this guy is in the country illegally. So they’re out there doing this, protecting children, protecting the most innocent asset we have in this society. And they’re proud to show their work,” Hansen said.
Concerns about migrant children under the leadership of former President Joe Biden ramped up in the summer of 2024 after whistleblowers like Tara Rodas testified against Biden’s Health and Human Services (HHS), calling attention to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and the vetting of sponsors for migrant children.
In September 2024, Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General released its August report that said ICE could not “monitor all unaccompanied migrant children” released from the custody of the Department of Homeland Security and HHS as the U.S. struggled with its border crisis.
Human trafficking experts like President and founder of GUARD Against Trafficking Ali Hopper have continued to speak to lawmakers about the concerns of missing migrant children and sex trafficking in the U.S. In July, Hopper testified to Congress, telling lawmakers the Biden administration allegedly missed 65,000 calls from migrant children to a hotline set up to “report concerns about the unaccompanied child’s safety.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
