Trump Tallies Up Administration Successes in Combatting Foreign Drug Cartels, Terror Groups in US – RedState
At a White House roundtable hosted by President Trump on Thursday, he heralded the rapid successes the administration has had in protecting the country from foreign threats since taking over in January from former President Joe Biden.
He introduced players from Team Trump, most of them in the room, who he said were instrumental in fighting foreign cartels and terrorist groups in the United States.
🚨”REAL GARBAGE PEOPLE”
“More than 3,000 cartel leaders, agents and gang members have been ARRESTED in recent weeks…
…These are in addition to the massive number of dangerous criminals my administration has arrested across the country, numbering more than 120,000.”

The president also spoke about the action launched by 47 from day one to lead the fight against criminals:
POTUS THE GOAT!
“On my first day in office, I signed an executive order officially designating drug cartels and transnational gangs as foreign terrorist organizations…to achieve the national goal of eliminating the cartels’ presence in America once and for all. The results are spectacular.”🧨 pic.twitter.com/Gbaa5lvmVq

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said they are working diligently to gain leadership from these violent and ruthless groups:
🚨🇺🇸These men and women are SAVING the United States.
“More than 3,200 violent gangs and drug dealers have been taken off the streets…
..91 tons of drugs were seized, which would fill FOUR 18-wheelers..
..58,000 kilos of cocaine seized, which could fill 1.5 backyard swimming pools.” pic.twitter.com/YzZkSn2JLz

She also discussed the remarkable work the Justice Department is doing on this front, non-stop, under the leadership of WH Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller:
.@PamBondi This task force is on FIRE 🔥
“We work seven days a week, 24 hours a day…this project is the brainchild of Stephen Miller. You are doing so much to keep our citizens safe, our children safe and to keep these drugs off our streets.” pic.twitter.com/TsrJ4EXaon

Miller spoke about the urgent need for President Trump to return to the White House, so that our nation can be secure again after being “overrun for four years”:
POWERFUL WORDS from @StephenM:
“Mr. President, this country was going to die without you. This is what we were facing in 2024. We were invaded for 4 years, our communities were sinking, our public safety was at 0, cartels ran communities, sex, children, labor… https://t.co/TsIw5hCeou pic.twitter.com/WM5ShTw9mo

Then, Trump spoke about the contrast between the way liberals insist that only good people attempt to enter the United States illegally, and that of Tren de Aragua gang members and others who “make our criminals look good”:
LOL – POTUS says Tren de Aragua gang members make our criminals look NICE!! 🤣
