The Trump administration is making good on its promise to secure America’s borders. Former ICE head John Fabbricatore and Border Patrol leader Chris Cabrera say President Trump’s tough policies are working exactly as planned. They credit the administration with slashing illegal border crossings and protecting communities from dangerous criminals.
Under President Biden, the southern border saw record numbers of illegal crossings. Over 10 million people entered without permission. Many were let into the country without proper checks. Cartels controlled the flow of drugs and human trafficking. The Biden team ignored warnings from border agents about the coming chaos.
Now the Trump administration has deployed military forces to guard the border. Tighter screening rules and rapid deportations have cut illegal entries by 96%. Known “gotaways” – people who sneak past agents – dropped from 1,800 per day to just a handful. This massive drop stops potential terrorists and gang members from slipping into neighborhoods.
The White House is using old laws like the Alien Enemies Act from 1798 to remove violent criminals quickly. Over 140 Venezuelan gang members were recently flown out on charter planes. Pro-Hamas activists leading campus protests have been detained for deportation as national security risks. These actions show no one is above the law when they threaten America.
Fabbricatore called the border shutdown a “huge win” for public safety. He said every state became a border state under Biden’s weak rules. Now agents can focus on stopping threats instead of processing endless crowds. Cabrera added that the administration isn’t playing political games – they’re actually enforcing the rules voters demanded.
Critics claim the deportations are too harsh, but the numbers don’t lie. Crime rates in border towns have plunged. Fentanyl seizures are up as cartels lose their smuggling routes. The administration refuses to release dangerous individuals just because activist judges issue temporary orders.
Some liberal judges tried blocking the removal flights, but the administration stood firm. They argue national security can’t wait for endless court battles. The Supreme Court is expected to back Trump’s use of wartime powers to protect the homeland.
This hardline approach proves President Trump means what he says. His team is delivering the secure borders he promised, reversing years of failed policies. While the left complains, millions of Americans sleep safer knowing their communities are protected. The administration vows to keep pushing until every loophole is closed and the border is fully under control.
