A Brazilian national, previously deported under President Trump’s strong immigration policies, has been arrested for plotting a mass murder at a Lady Gaga concert in Rio de Janeiro—a terrifying plan involving bombs, livestreamed executions, and a crowd of 2.5 million people.
Trump’s Tough Deportation Policies Foiled a Future Massacre
Luis da Silva, 44, was kicked out of the U.S. during Trump’s first term due to prior criminal activity. Now, Brazilian authorities say he planned a horrific terrorist-style attack on a global pop icon’s concert, aiming to livestream the slaughter of children while calling Gaga a “Satanist.”
He wasn’t acting alone. A 17-year-old accomplice was also arrested hours before the event began. Their plans involved Molotov cocktails, explosive backpacks, and maximum civilian casualties. Thankfully, police intercepted them just in time, saving potentially thousands of lives.
Media Fails to Report Criminal Realities
While the mainstream media glorifies open borders and sob stories, the Trump administration’s deportation efforts clearly saved lives. Instead of spotlighting criminals like da Silva, liberal outlets continue to push narratives that illegal immigrants are all “sweethearts” and victims of a broken system.
NEW: Lady Gaga now holds the record for the highest-attended concert in history by a female artist, according to Variety.
Insane.

The Department of Homeland Security recently released a report slamming the media for distorting the truth about dangerous deportees—some of whom were tied to MS-13 gangs, drug trafficking, and violent crime. In one outrageous case, journalists cried foul over the deportation of a man who’d been caught smuggling weapons and narcotics.

National Security Begins at the Border
Border czar Tom Homan has long insisted that removing violent offenders must be the first priority—and the Lady Gaga concert plot proves him right. Trump’s strategy wasn’t just about immigration—it was about protecting Americans from those who wish to do harm.
Lady Gaga’s reps said they were unaware of any threats that night. The concert continued without incident—but only thanks to early detection and effective law enforcement abroad.
While President Trump focused on national security, the media and radical left were busy accusing ICE agents of cruelty. It’s time to ask: How many more lives could have been lost without strong borders and smart enforcement?
America deserves the truth—not media spin.
