Trump said today: "Under the failed leadership of 'liar Joe' Biden and the Democrats, 40 million illegal immigrant criminals have flooded into the United States, including hundreds of thousands of convicted murderers, rapists, kidnappers, drug dealers, and terrorists."
I won the election with a historic overwhelming majority, and the Republicans have won majority seats in both the House and Senate, largely because we promised to secure the border, and we did so, and launched the largest illegal immigrant criminal deportation operation in American history. This deportation operation is ongoing, and it is being carried out peacefully and smoothly in Republican-controlled cities and states, because local law enforcement are allowed to work with federal law enforcement. For example, in five Republican-controlled states—Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana—ICE arrested 150,245 illegal immigrant criminals in the past year—without any protests, riots, or chaos. Why? Because local police and ICE are working together.
Meanwhile, sanctuary cities and states controlled by Democrats refuse to cooperate with ICE, even encouraging leftist agitators to illegally interfere with ICE's efforts to arrest the most dangerous criminals! Democrats do this, putting illegal immigrant criminals above law-abiding taxpayers, creating a dangerous situation for all involved. It is heartbreaking that two American citizens lost their lives due to the chaos caused by Democrats.
Comment: Trump blamed the tragedy of immigration enforcement leading to deaths in Minnesota on the Democrats, which is a typical political maneuver and distortion of facts. Both victims in Minnesota were legal citizens, and their deaths were clearly due to the excessive force and procedural misconduct of ICE officers. However, Trump ignored the solid evidence and shifted the blame to the Democratic sanctuary policies. Essentially, he used partisan rhetoric to cover up the fatal mistakes of federal law enforcement. In his pursuit of the "largest deportation," he implemented tough enforcement in Minneapolis that overstepped local governance, bypassed the state government, and carried out violent enforcement actions, which broke the local security balance, intensified the conflict between the immigrant community and law enforcement agencies, and the resulting chaos was an inevitable outcome of his radical policies.
