00:00On another important matter, President Trump signed a proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies

00:06Act regarding the invasion of the United States by the foreign terrorist organization, Tren

00:11de Aragua.

00:13At the President's direction, the Department of Homeland Security carried out a counter-terrorism

00:18operation deporting nearly 200 violent Tren de Aragua terrorists, which will save countless

00:24American lives.

00:26Thanks to the great work of the Department of State, these heinous monsters were extracted

00:30and removed to El Salvador, where they will no longer be able to pose any threats to the

00:35American public.

00:38Tren de Aragua is one of the most ruthless terrorist gangs in the world, and they are

00:44responsible for some of the most heinous crimes that have occurred in our nation's history

00:48in recent years, including the savage murders of beautiful Lakin Riley and Jocelyn Nungre.

00:56President Trump promised Lakin and Jocelyn's families during his campaign that he would

01:01demand justice for their beautiful girls, and that's exactly what he did.

01:07As the President acknowledged during his inaugural address on January 20th, he pledged to invoke

01:12this act, and he has no higher responsibility than to defend our country from threats and

01:18invasions.

01:20President Trump will continue his historic efforts to seal the border and prevent these

01:24illegal invaders from coming here in the first place.

01:28As the New York Times acknowledged over the weekend, President Trump's policies are working.

01:34Here's how the Times summed it up.

01:36Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border are down to their lowest level in decades.

01:42Once crowded, migrant shelters are empty.

01:45Instead of heading north, people stranded in Mexico are starting to return home in bigger

01:50numbers.

01:51The border is almost unrecognizable from just a couple of years ago, when hundreds of thousands

01:56of people from around the world were crossing into the United States every month in scenes

02:01of chaos and upheaval.

02:03This is the Trump effect in action.

02:05And again, those are the words from the New York Times.

02:08We didn't need a border security bill.

02:10We just needed President Trump.
