Welcome @SecMullinDHS!
Under the leadership of @POTUS Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS is committed to protecting our homeland. We are securing our borders, removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens, preventing cybersecurity and terror attacks, and helping Americans in the face of natural disasters.
MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
I am grateful for President Trump’s trust in me to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It’s an honor to serve.
As @DHSgov Secretary, I’m committed to safeguarding the American people and protecting the homeland. I’ll fight for your family just as I’ll fight for mine.
I look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with the 260,000 outstanding DHS employees and their families to keep our nation safe.
My first priority is to end the partisan fighting and reopen the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a matter of national security.
Let’s get to work. 🇺🇸
FIREARMS SEIZED AT THE BORDER.
@CBP agents at the Presidio Port of Entry seized 8 firearms and 500 rounds of ammunition from a Nissan heading for Mexico. The driver has been taken into custody and charged with federal smuggling crimes.
Thanks to these CBP heroes, these weapons have been kept OUT of the hands of dangerous criminal organizations.
#EXCLUSIVE@CBP officers in Presidio, Texas seized multiple firearms—including machine gun barrels—before they could be smuggled into Mexico.
During a southbound inspection at the Presidio Port of Entry on July 8th, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers uncovered 6 rifles, 2 handguns, 180 magazines, 500 rounds of ammunition, and firearm components, including machine gun barrels for the M249 light machine gun, hidden inside a 2013 Nissan X-Trail headed for Mexico.
CBP says non-intrusive inspection technology detected anomalies in the vehicle, leading officers to hidden compartments containing the weapons and ammunition.
The driver, a Mexican citizen and lawful U.S. permanent resident, was arrested and charged with smuggling goods and firearms trafficking.
The seizure comes as CBP sources say the area across the border in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, remains the site of a violent turf war between La Línea and factions of the Sinaloa Cartel, as both organizations compete for control of the strategically important Ojinaga smuggling plaza. The rivalry has fueled years of violence in the region, making southbound weapons interdictions a key part of disrupting cartel operations.
Ray Provencio, Director of the El Paso Field Office saying, “This seizure demonstrates CBP’s commitment to preventing firearms and ammunition from illegally entering Mexico and arming dangerous criminal organizations… Our southbound inspection teams search for firearms, ammunition, and currency from illicit criminal activities to prevent this contraband from arming and financing the Mexican Drug cartels. And by doing so we assist our Government of Mexico law enforcement partners as we work to make our shared border region safer.”
BEST OF THE BEST.
Javier Moralez, a heroic @ICEgov officer, was driving down the road when he saw a 14-year-old lying unconscious in a ditch.
He immediately pulled over to assist, providing lifesaving care and ensuring emergency responders were called.
Officer Moralez’s quick thinking and commitment to ensuring the safety of this teenager demonstrates the true courage and heroism of our ICE law enforcement.
Jose Solorzano-Felix, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for attempted murder of a federal law enforcement officer, use of a firearm during and in the commission of a felony, and illegal alien in possession of a handgun in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States.
Yesterday, the brave men and women of ICE risked their lives to arrest illegal criminal aliens convicted for attempted murder of a federal law enforcement officer, lewd or lascivious acts with a child, rape, assault with a deadly weapon, and burglary:
You should be ashamed of yourself for protecting criminals, and prioritizing them over law-abiding American citizens and our brave men and women of law enforcement.
After @GovTimWalz pardoned a convicted illegal alien who sexually abused a 10-year-old girl, the Trump administration took action and DEPORTED this disgusting individual.
Sanctuary politicians put these horrific criminal illegals ahead of their own constituents every single day. It’s unforgivable.
Under @POTUS Trump, we are putting Americans FIRST, targeting the worst of the worst, and getting illegal aliens OFF our streets. If you are in the United States illegally, leave today, or we will find, arrest, and deport you.
The Governor of Minnesota gave a pardon to criminal illegal alien and child rapist Tou Lue Vang.
ICE gave him a flight back to his home country of Laos.
Another child predator deported thanks to the leadership of @POTUS and @SecMullinDHS.
FACT CHECK: Under the Trump Administration, there have been and are NO disaster response resources diverted from survivors.
We will NEVER pull FEMA away from its core mission when Americans need help most — unlike the Biden administration, which used FEMA funds to house illegal migrants in hotels, including gang members, murderers, and Laken Riley’s killer.
Breaking news: The Department of Homeland Security misused Federal Emergency Management Agency resources when it diverted dozens of staff to help with immigration enforcement, a new report by a group of House Democrats shared first with The Post says. https://t.co/6g4aLBTsAx
A Laotian national convicted of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl was pardoned by @GovTimWalz.
@SecRubio quickly revoked his status, & @ICEgov arrested & deported the child rapist.
The Trump Admin will never let these monsters prey on Americans. Every criminal illegal alien will be hunted down & deported.
What part of Laos is Minnesota in, @KTTCTV?
Tou Lue Vang is an illegal alien CHILD RAPIST from Laos who repeatedly sexually assaulted a child. He is NOT a “Minnesota man.”
Despite @GovTimWalz trying to shield this pedophile from removal, he has been DEPORTED.
The illegal alien RINGLEADER of the planned UFC Freedom 250 terror attack has been CHARGED by @TheJusticeDept alongside 7 other co-conspirators.
@SecretService, working with federal and local partners, investigated, identified, and PREVENTED this terror attack from ever taking place.
The alleged RINGLEADER of the planned UFC Freedom 250 terror attack is an illegal alien from Mexico.
This criminal NEVER should have been allowed into our country. We will ensure he faces the full weight of the law and is REMOVED from our nation.
“Reportedly” is doing a lot of work in this headline.
It is categorically false that we would pressure someone to self-deport. HuffPost knows that, but they made the decision to prioritize clicks over facts years ago.
