ICE Arrests More Than 4,000 in 10 Days During Texas Immigration Sweep

Thank God to President Trump for coming in and empowering us to enforce our nation's laws. We're able to see the crime rate drop. We're able to see murder rates drop to 126-year low. We're seeing violent crimes drop to 30- and 40-year lows. We're seeing fentanyl overdoses go backwards for the first time because we're enforcing our nation's laws. And I say this all the time. The Department of Homeland Security didn't make these laws. Congress made these laws, and we enforce the laws that Congress passed. Why it's controversial for us to enforce those laws, I have no idea. Protecting our homeland should never be controversial. Doing our job and having like a Lone Star Mission where we take over 4,100 criminals off our streets in 10 days, why is that controversial? We should all want to be safe in our communities. Here in Texas, they're protecting their state. They're protecting those that respect the law and order. Here in Texas, they're keeping the people safe because it's what they were sworn to do. And we should all do that. And as I stand here in front of you, I couldn't be more proud of the work they did. And thank you for the cooperation we had from our partners from state, local, and county. It's not possible to do it without your help.
