MACDONALD: DHS Removes Nearly 1300 Transnational Gang Members Democrats Let Loose In America

Crime is down for a very good reason. Someone is enforcing the laws we already have. Be they immigration, illegal entry, or just the everyday variety meant to keep you safe from people who would do you harm and steal your stuff.

Not Democrats. They let criminals run loose and invite more here, and while not all of them are committing what we’d call crimes, many of them are robbing with help from the left. They also access public benefits reserved for American citizens. Filling available housing and driving up costs while reducing access. The left’s policies are bad for Americans and America.

It’s stealing, and the elaborate schemes (and excuses) erected by left-wing cities, states, and DC politicians to steal from you are RICO-level acts of organized crime.

You knew that; it’s why you elected Donald Trump and Republicans instead of soft-on-crime, open-borders Dems. Progressives who are running on all the bad things you voted against two years ago that they will reinstate as soon as they are able.

One of those bad things allowed thousands of terrorists, including transnational gangs, to enter the US. They created organized crime rings to peddle extortion, drugs, and human trafficking. They engaged in street crime, assault, rape, robbery, and murder.

DHS reports that its mission to clean this trash off our streets has identified and arrested nearly 1,300 members of Tren de Aragua.

“The objective of each [Homeland Security Task Force] HSTF is to end the presence of criminal cartels, foreign gangs, and transnational criminal organizations throughout the United States, dismantle cross-border human smuggling and trafficking networks, end the scourge of human smuggling and trafficking, with a particular focus on such offenses involving children, and ensure the use of all available law enforcement tools to faithfully execute the immigration laws of the United States,” according to the executive order.

The data runs from January 20, 2025, to October 8, 2026. The task force has nabbed 1,296 Trn de Aragua members and charged almost 350 members and associates with federal crimes.

We didn’t have a special HTSF to address the rise of transnational gangs under Biden and Harris. Instead, they had a task force to investigate moms at school boards and lists of people who bought MAGA hats. Oh, and an open-door policy that let criminals in and operate. And not just gangs and cartels. Foreign nationals, military-aged Middle Eastern and Asian males. The number of threats is still unclear, and it is why the Trump Administration needs room to do what the admin promised.

To put you first. Your safety, your welfare programs and tax dollars, and your wives, sisters, daughters, and moms.

Nothing the Dems have done is good for girls or women. They let criminals and rapists into the country and out of jail, allow predators into their safe spaces, and now their increasing alliance with Sharia-touting Islamists tells us all that their rights are in danger.

There are probably more transnational gang members who need to be investigated, swept up, and tried, a task made difficult by Democrat mayors, governors, and white liberal women who – ironically – are the targets of these criminals and predators. Well, maybe not for sex trafficking.
