Cutting taxes and spending is the solution. Eliminating agencies like the IRS, CIA, and FBI may seem drastic, but pre-9/11 intelligence failures demonstrate bureaucratic inefficiency, not a lack of funding. Increased spending hasn't solved the problem; intelligent interpretation of information is key. Expanding presidential power is concerning; sacrificing liberty for security leads to the loss of both. The push for national ID cards, warrantless searches, and secret prisons is un-American. We must use presidential power to restore order and protect our liberties.

We're seeing a unified effort across President Trump's national security team and the Department of Homeland Security to ensure a safe, free, and prosperous society for Americans. Over 21 million people have crossed our borders illegally under the Biden administration, many unvetted. For example, over 4,000 people from Central Asia, affiliated with an ISIS network, crossed our borders. Hundreds were identified as known terrorists or associated with known terrorists. This information was provided to the Biden administration, yet only a fraction of those arrested were deported or remained in custody; the rest were released into our country. We're working with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to keep Americans safe. Our counterterrorism center is focused on vetting to identify and remove those who pose a threat. The president's designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations is crucial, especially with their tactics mirroring those of Islamist terrorists. Our mission is clear: to keep the American people safe.

The speaker states that preventing attacks in major cities is the top priority, along with addressing cyber and counterintelligence threats. They emphasize the danger posed by individuals entering the country through both the southern and northern borders who intend to cause harm. FBI teams are actively working with HSI and ERO to remove these individuals while preventing and investigating terror attacks. The speaker asserts the FBI will investigate incidents as terror attacks based on available information, such as when someone throws an incendiary device while screaming specific words, and will not engage in "word games" or euphemisms. They are investigating such incidents as targeted violence and terror attacks based on the available information.

Public safety is a top priority, and it's essential for mayors and governors to protect their communities. If local leaders cooperate, they can help address public safety threats effectively. There are clear legal boundaries that must not be crossed, particularly regarding federal law enforcement and harboring illegal immigrants. It's crucial for local officials to understand these laws and ensure they do not violate them.

Sanctuary cities will face federal action, including the removal of federal funding, as they hinder law enforcement cooperation with ICE. These cities release public safety threats back into communities, increasing risks for the public and law enforcement. Currently, operations are targeting cities like Chicago. The U.S. military's assistance, including airlift support, is deemed essential for removing detained illegal immigrants, allowing ICE officers to focus on apprehending criminals rather than transportation duties. This collaboration with the Department of Defense will enhance operational efficiency and safety in immigration enforcement.

I have witnessed a remarkable collaborative effort among various agencies, reminiscent of the post-9/11 era. Multiple agencies have been working together tirelessly, gathering intelligence globally and providing real-time information to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The DHS and FBI have taken appropriate action, including working with social media platforms to remove content. Additionally, they have undertaken critical offensive measures worldwide. This has been an incredibly significant role in my career, and I am immensely proud of our achievements. Over the past few months, we have undertaken daring actions, both publicly and privately, and I believe they have all been successful.

Over 4,000 individuals from Central Asia crossed our borders using an ISIS-affiliated network. Our counterterrorism center identified hundreds as known terrorists or associates and alerted the Biden administration. In 2024, over a hundred were arrested, but only eight were deported or remained in custody, while the rest were released into our country. We must stay focused, collaborating with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to ensure American safety. Our counterterrorism center aims to be the primary source for vetting to identify and remove threats. The president's designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations aligns with this, especially given their adoption of tactics mirroring Islamist terrorists. Our mission is to protect Americans, and I'm honored to contribute to President Trump's team in achieving this goal.

The only effective way to deter illegal immigration is to return individuals to their home countries. Over the past few years, there has been a significant decline in the ability to do this, leading to increased arrests and releases of illegal entrants. The current administration has reduced detention space and funding, resulting in Border Patrol agents being overwhelmed by large groups crossing the border. This has allowed many to enter undetected, including individuals with ties to terrorism. Drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, has surged due to lax enforcement. The local community has struggled to support the influx of released individuals, leading to economic strain. Despite recent cooperation from Mexico to reduce crossings, the long-term solutions require a return to strict enforcement and repatriation policies.

There are Americans involved in propaganda efforts that could warrant civil or even criminal charges. Addressing this issue could serve as a stronger deterrent.

We are committed to confronting threats both in the US and abroad. With the current situation, there has been an increase in reported threats. We need to be alert, especially for individuals who may be inspired by recent events to commit violence. As the first line of defense, it is important for you to stay vigilant and report any signs of potential violence. We encourage you to share any intelligence or observations you may have. We are also committed to sharing information to ensure the safety of our communities. Let's work together to safeguard our communities.

To effectively stop sex trafficking, closing the border is essential. This includes restricting access for tourists and commerce, as trafficking often occurs at ports of entry. Additionally, reinstating DNA testing could help in identifying victims. Addressing child trafficking requires better coordination among law enforcement and federal programs, as it is a complex issue. Furthermore, designating child trafficking as a terrorist activity would provide access to critical counterterrorism tools, enhancing intelligence collection, interagency collaboration, and financial sanctions to dismantle trafficking networks.

We're in Chicago, Illinois, focusing on public safety threats. This initiative involves a comprehensive approach with various agencies including the FBI, ATF, DEA, ICE, and HSI. Today, we will begin addressing these issues with the president's plan for a unified government response.

Cartels are adapting, particularly by increasing maritime operations. We anticipated this shift and have tripled Coast Guard patrols in response. We will shut them down on the water as well. Our goal is to put them out of business entirely. President Trump is designating them as criminal terrorist organizations, and rightfully so. They've caused more American deaths than all other terrorist groups combined. We will wipe them out by cutting off their funding, which is the source of their power to bribe and operate. Our strategy extends beyond Mexico. We're targeting the Jalisco cartel and other cartels in the 43 countries where they currently operate. We're launching a global attack to dismantle their networks.

I have witnessed a remarkable collaborative effort among various agencies, similar to what happened after 9/11. This time, multiple agencies are working together tirelessly, collecting intelligence, sharing real-time information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The DHS and FBI are taking appropriate action, including working with social media companies to remove content and conducting offensive measures globally. I believe this is the most significant role I have had in my career, and I am proud of our current success. We have taken bold actions, both publicly and privately, and they have all been successful.

The Justice Department will intensify efforts to prosecute terrorist threats, arson, vandalism, and violence against American Jews. All resident aliens participating in pro-jihadist protests are warned that they may face deportation in 2025. Additionally, student visas for Hamas sympathizers at colleges, which are increasingly influenced by radicalism, will be revoked.

Today’s operation in Chicago, led by multiple federal agencies, focused on public safety and national security. We successfully apprehended serious offenders, including sex offenders and gang members, removing significant threats from the streets. This operation was meticulously planned, targeting individuals with criminal and immigration histories. In Aurora, there was a major bust involving illegal immigrants, guns, and drugs. Unfortunately, local policies hinder our ability to access jails, making it difficult to apprehend dangerous individuals directly. We need cooperation to ensure public safety; sanctuary city policies only protect criminals, not communities. Law enforcement should collaborate to keep everyone safe, including immigrant communities.

The FBI has expanded significantly, and its intelligence operations are problematic. I would close the Hoover building and reopen it as a museum, reallocating the 7,000 employees to focus on law enforcement across the country. They should be out there fighting crime instead of being tied to bureaucratic roles. The same applies to the Department of Justice; many are more focused on promotions and titles than on their duties. While it's essential to bring in qualified individuals, it's equally important to reduce the size of government.

We are halting all grant funding to NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration. Millions of taxpayer dollars have been misused to support this issue, and we are reevaluating how these funds are spent to ensure they strengthen our country and enhance safety. Many NGOs operate not only in the U.S. but also in Mexico, encouraging illegal immigrants to cross the border. Initially, I viewed NGOs as charitable organizations, but I've come to see that some function as shadow governments, using taxpayer money for actions the federal government cannot legally undertake. This has compromised our national security, and we will no longer support these operations with federal funding.

We are announcing the cessation of federal grant funding to NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration. Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have been misused to support this issue, and we are committed to reevaluating these funds to ensure they strengthen our country and enhance safety. Many NGOs operate in Mexico, encouraging illegal immigrants to cross the border. Initially, NGOs were seen as charitable organizations, but they have evolved into entities that sometimes undermine national security by performing actions the government cannot legally undertake. While some NGOs do valuable work, their role in facilitating illegal immigration is concerning.

In the Western Hemisphere, we prioritize our independence from foreign powers and reject interference in our affairs. We have strengthened our laws to screen foreign investments for national security threats. We are working with Latin American partners to address the issues of uncontrolled migration, human smuggling, and trafficking. Illegal immigration funds criminal networks, gangs, and drug flow, exploiting vulnerable populations and causing crime, violence, and poverty. Upholding national borders and combating criminal gangs is crucial to breaking this cycle and establishing prosperity. Each nation has the right to set its own immigration policy, and the United States will not participate in the global compact on migration. The long-term solution to the migration crisis lies in helping people build better futures in their home countries.

There's an opportunity to learn lessons from the events of January 6. Investigation should be considered as to the funding and travel and what appears to be professional agitated. Investigation should be considered as to the funding and travel and what appears to be professional agitators.

Today, we’re targeting MS-13, a foreign terrorist organization involved in drugs, guns, and human trafficking. We’re conducting a large-scale operation with multiple teams to arrest 13 members, a crippling blow to their network. This is a whole-of-government effort with ICE, DOJ, FBI, DEA, ATF, and the U.S. Marshals Service. Sanctuary jurisdictions hinder our work; a recent example saw an MS-13 member with firearms and narcotics released back onto the streets. Conversely, Montgomery County’s collaboration with ICE led to a 50% decrease in violent crime. We prioritize public safety and national security; MS-13 victimizes more people than other terrorist groups. Our officers' morale is high, and we’re proud of our work, including leading the country in sex offender arrests. Yesterday, we arrested a prolific MS-13 member involved in homicides. We’re making a difference, and we’ll continue to target dangerous criminals.

Drew Burquist, a former counterterrorism officer, discusses the current U.S. focus on counterterrorism at home, the potential resurfacing of sleeper-cell activity linked to Iran, and how events abroad may translate into threats domestically. He explains that signs of potential activity may exist now rather than in the near future, noting that sleeper cells have existed long before recent U.S. policy shifts and that many operatives have been in contact with or inspired by Iran’s ideology. Burquist points out that there are IRGC personnel and lone-wolf individuals in the United States, some less directly connected to the IRGC but sharing hostile intent, making the prospect of attacks something he would be “more shocked than not” not to see in some form. He cautions that while he does not predict attacks in every city against every target, the risk is persistent and should be anticipated. The conversation touches on past incidents like the Austin mass shooting and Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting to illustrate that radical responses can be inspired by broader geopolitical grievances and anti-U.S. actions abroad. Burquist emphasizes the difficulty of separating religion, ideology, and individual grievances in understanding threat dynamics, stating that the cycle of violence persists because killing mid-level targets can generate new generations of extremists. He describes the conflict as an ideological clash rather than a simple nation-vs-nation struggle and notes that targeting foreign adversaries often triggers repercussions at home, including within immigrant communities and U.S. soil. A key theme is the balance between acknowledging threats and avoiding overreaction. Burquist argues that while there are positive developments in counterterrorism efforts, the U.S. must recognize the consequences of aggressive actions abroad on domestic security. He parallels the current situation with ongoing cartel operations, suggesting that foreign actions can bring affiliated individuals into the U.S., raising the cost-benefit considerations of such actions and complicating threat assessments at home. Regarding the counterterrorism infrastructure, Burquist describes the Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) as the ongoing core of threat monitoring, combining intel, FBI, and local law enforcement across the country. He warns that the United States often focuses narrowly on single “shiny balls,” and that the JTTFs should remain active and integrated. He highlights a practical problem: U.S. intelligence and law enforcement can be reactive and hampered by data fidelity issues, such as misidentification or misspellings of foreign names, especially amid large influxes of new entrants. He suggests that the backend, including how the government manages new arrivals and information, is where gaps could appear, even as the public recognizes and responds to crises with fear or uncertainty. The discussion ends with a concern that the United States’ preparation for and management of threats at home will reveal how effectively authorities can transition from high-profile operations to sustained, accurate, and proactive domestic counterterrorism efforts.

The plan focuses on three main priorities. First, deportation operations will target public safety and national security threats, as they pose significant dangers to the United States. Second, securing the border is essential, emphasizing the need to prevent catch and release practices. Third, there is a critical issue of over 300,000 missing children, with more than half a million trafficked into the U.S. This administration has released many of these children to unvetted sponsors, making them vulnerable. Some have been found in forced labor or sex trafficking situations. Addressing the safety of these children is a crucial priority.
