Headline: 100 Days of Making America Safe Again
WASHINGTON – In just 100 days, President Trump and Secretary Noem have delivered major victories addressing the crisis at the southern border, removing violent criminal illegal aliens from American communities, and stopping the flow of illicit drugs into our homeland
He’s accomplished more in 100 days than most presidents achieve in an entire term
PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT:
Thanks to President Trump, we have the most secure border in American history
On day one, President Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border
President Trump immediately reinstated “Remain in Mexico” and ended catch and release
Daily border encounters have plunged 95% since President Trump took office
Under President Trump’s leadership, Secretary Noem and Secretary Kennedy have reunited nearly 5,000 unaccompanied children with a safe relative or guardian
Migrants are turning BACK before they even reach our border— migration through Panama’s Darien Gap is down 99
99%
President Trump is finishing the border wall
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) already has 85 miles of new construction either planned or under construction
United States (U
S
) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U
S
Coast Guard (USCG) have seized nearly 232,000 pounds of fentanyl and other illicit drugs—stopping them from ever reaching American communities
President Trump is fulfilling his promise to carry out mass deportations—starting with the worst of the worst
The Trump Administration empowered our brave men and women in law enforcement to use common sense to do their jobs effectively
DHS repealed Biden-era rules that allowed criminal aliens to hide from law enforcement in places like schools and churches to avoid arrest
DHS returned to using the term “illegal alien” which is the statutory language
President Trump will not allow political correctness to hinder law enforcement
President Trump mobilized the federal government to help with immigration enforcement
DHS deputized the Texas National Guard, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Prisons, U
S
Marshals, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, members of the State Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to assist with immigration operations
Operation Tidal Wave, the first 287(g) enforcement operation coordinated with state and federal law enforcement partners, resulted in over 800 arrests
DHS has secured 579 signed agreements with state and local partnerships under 287(g)
President Trump and Secretary Noem are empowering state and local law enforcement to get these criminal illegal aliens off our streets
The Trump Administration has arrested over 158,000 illegal aliens in 2025 alone, including more than 600 members of Tren de Aragua
Under President Trump, U
S
Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) is targeting the worst of the worst, 75% of their arrests are criminal illegal aliens with convictions or pending charges
To fulfill President Trump’s promise to carry out mass deportations, the administration is now detaining some of the most dangerous illegal aliens, including violent criminals and members of terrorist gangs, at Guantanamo Bay
At President Trump’s direction, DHS deported nearly 300 Tren de Aragua and MS-13 terrorists to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) Prison in El Salvador, where they no longer pose a threat to the American people
At President Trump’s direction, Secretary Noem launched a multimillion-dollar nationwide and international ad campaign, urging illegal aliens to leave the U
S
voluntarily or face deportation with no chance of return
President Trump ended the CBP One app that allowed more than one million aliens to illegally enter the U
S
The Trump Administration replaced this disastrous program with the CBP Home app, which has a new self-deportation reporting feature for aliens illegally in the country
So far, thousands of illegal aliens have used the app to self-deport
The Trump Administration is enforcing the Alien Registration Act which requires aliens to register with the federal government
If illegal aliens fail to comply, they face fines and imprisonment
Deportations have already exceeded 142,000—this is just the beginning
President Trump is putting the safety of Americans first and delivering justice for victims of illegal aliens and drug cartels
President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act, which mandates the federal detention of illegal aliens accused of theft, burglary, assaulting a law enforcement officer, or any crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury
President Trump designated international drug cartels and other criminal gangs, such as MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations
This enables a whole-of-government approach to dismantle their drug and human trafficking operations
The days of unchecked cartel and gang violence are over
The Trump Administration secured the extradition of 29 Mexican drug cartel members who are facing charges including racketeering, drug-trafficking, murder, illegal use of firearms, money laundering, and other crimes
Some of these individuals include:
Rafael Caro Quintero, alleged to have been among those responsible for the 1985 murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena and others
This cartel kingpin unleashed violence, destruction, and death across the U
S
and Mexico and spent four decades atop DEA’s most wanted fugitives list
Martin Sotelo, alleged to have participated in the 2022 murder of Deputy Sheriff Ned Byrd
Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, alleged to have helped lead the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación

No longer will this program be abused and exploited by illegal aliens
Secretary Noem rescinded the previous administration’s extension of Venezuelan, Haitian, and Afghan TPS
President Trump is returning common sense to our legal immigration system and national security by revoking visas of terrorist sympathizers
Those who glorify and support terrorists who kill Americans are not welcome in the U
S
Some examples include:
ICE arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student who led activities aligned with Hamas and passed out pro-Hamas propaganda flyers
Dr
Rasha Alawieh was deported after she admitted to attending the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, a brutal terrorist who led Hezbollah and was responsible for killing hundreds of Americans
ICE arrested Badar Khan Suri, a Georgetown foreign exchange student whose father-in-law is a senior advisor to Hamas
To keep America safe, DHS is now conducting enhanced vetting of visa applicants, including monitoring foreign aliens’ social media accounts to identify any support for terrorist organizations
President Trump is using tariffs as a negotiating tool to force other countries to take decisive action that puts American safety, prosperity, and national security first
President Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on countries that have been ripping off America for years
Unfair trade practices made our supply chain dependent on foreign adversaries, eroded our industrial base, and hurt American workers
This has gravely impacted our national security
Now, President Trump is fighting back and putting America first
President Trump’s tariffs forced Mexico to deploy 10,000 troops on our southern border to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal aliens into our country and Canada to add thousands of personnel to the northern border
Under President Trump, Secretary Noem refocused DHS to its core mission of protecting the American homeland and eliminating government waste
The USCG eliminated an ineffective information technology (IT) program, saving nearly $33 million, and is now focusing resources where they’re most needed to protect our homeland
The Trump Administration stopped aliens on the Terror Watchlist from receiving Medicaid benefits
Secretary Noem ended the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) FEMA grant program that was wasteful and ineffective
This resulted in nearly a billion dollars being directed to the Disaster Relief Fund
To stop policies that were magnets for illegal immigration, DHS froze all funding to non-governmental organizations that facilitate illegal immigration and announced a partnership with the U
S
Department of Housing and Urban Development to ensure taxpayer dollars do not go to housing illegal aliens
Secretary Noem ended collective bargaining for the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Transportation Security Officers, which constrained TSA’s chief mission to safeguard our transportation systems and keep Americans safe
Bottom Line: President Trump campaigned on border security and immigration enforcement, the American people voted for it, and Secretary Noem and DHS are delivering beyond anyone’s expectations
President Trump and Secretary Noem will continue fighting every day to secure our border and keep American communities safe
This is just the beginning of a new Golden Age of America
