【Latest News: Trump is awarding the Mexico Border Defense Medal to 13 U.S. military personnel】
On December 15, 2025, Washington time, the Associated Press wrote in a press release:
Trump is presenting the Mexico Border Defense Medal to 13 service members. The president sat in the Oval Office with War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Border Czar Tom Homan, all praising his border defense efforts in the fight against immigration. Military commanders and recipients witnessed Trump, Hegseth, and Homan announce border security. Trump stated that his administration "has stopped the invasion and we are rapidly dismantling drug cartels." He also cited many of his popular lines from the 2024 campaign speech, criticizing former Democratic President Joe Biden's immigration policies and calling migrants who cross the border "some of the worst people on Earth." Homan praised "President Trump as the greatest president I've ever seen — yes, I said that." Hegseth said this medal is a tribute to the military honors given in the early 20th century.
