For four years under Joe Biden, the American people watched in horror as 10.3 million illegal aliens invaded the United States—including an untold number of associates of the Venezuelan terrorist gang Tren de Aragua. But Biden didn’t just allow this invasion, he abetted it at every turn. From flying migrants into the country to housing them to providing them free healthcare, Biden rolled out the red carpet for these migrants—all on the taxpayer dime.
Make no mistake: Members of cartels like Tren de Aragua are terrorists. I watched as drug cartels almost destroyed my home country of Colombia. If given the chance, these cartels will do the same to America. President Donald Trump not only has the right but the obligation to do everything in his power to stop these cartels and protect the homeland.
That’s why it’s so sickening to see activist judges like Judge James Boasberg attempt to thwart the will of the American people and attempt to halt President Trump’s deportation of these cartel thugs.

But if rogue district court judges can prevent our commander-in-chief from protecting the American homeland from a terrorist invasion, we don’t live in a democracy anymore.

President Trump must use the Article II constitutional authority vested in him as President and each and every relevant law and regulation to secure our borders and interior. And that starts with removing violent criminal illegal aliens from the homeland. Congress should welcome any request from the president to support him in his mission to stop this invasion of our country.
The United States of America is the greatest country in the world. Even in the midst of unelected leftist judges’ attempts to stop his every move, I applaud President Trump for working tirelessly to mitigate the damage done by the Biden-Harris administration.
