But when it comes to the corruption that is plundering America, there has been no more stunning example than Minnesota—where members of the Somali community have pillaged an estimated $19 billion dollars from the American taxpayer.
//
As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security. They have closed the agency responsible for protecting Americans from terrorists and murderers. Tonight, I am demanding the full and immediate restoration of all funding for the Border Security and Homeland Security of the United States.
//
Above all, unleashing America’s promise requires keeping our communities safe. We have made incredible strides—yet dangerous repeat offenders continue to be released by pro-crime politicians again and again.
//
As President, I will make peace wherever I can—but I will never hesitate to confront threats to America wherever we must.
//
We are also restoring American security and dominance in the Western Hemisphere—actingto secure our national interests and defend our country from violence, drugs, terrorism, and foreign interference. For years, large swaths of territory in our region, including large parts of Mexico, have been controlled by murderous drug cartels.
//
The Revolution that began in 1776 has not ended—it still continues, because the flame of Liberty and Independence still burns in the hearts of every American Patriot.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - President Trump Is Securing Our Homeland: Ending the Invasion, Deporting Criminals, and Protecting Our Communities
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
02/24/26
• President Trump Is Securing Our Homeland: Ending the Invasion, Deporting Criminals, and Protecting Our Communities
President Donald J. Trump’s relentless commitment to securing our homeland has delivered a seismic turnaround that stopped the flood of illegal crossings, deadly cartels, and national security threats dead in their tracks — and the work remains ongoing.
• Historic Reductions in Illegal Immigration: Illegal border crossings have plummeted to their lowest level since the 1970s (https://t.co/3PLl37d39d), with migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border dropping dramatically in 2025. The U.S. achieved negative net migration (https://t.co/iZWvxrW7Gc) in 2025 — the first time in over 50 years — reversing decades of unchecked migration and restoring control over our sovereignty.
• Mass Removals and Deterrence: Nearly three million (https://t.co/DdvpG3JTVg) illegal aliens have left the U.S., including over 675,000 deportations — more than 400,000 (https://t.co/QOP31bYVTb) of whom were illegal aliens charged with or convicted of crimes — and 2.2 million self-deportations.
• Zero Releases and Strong Deterrence: No illegal aliens have been released into the interior for nine straight months (https://t.co/kNvhXUv1mK.) — finally ending catch-and-release policies nationwide and achieving a 99.9% reduction (https://t.co/bUP8BqhQc8) in interior releases compared to the prior Administration.
