.@ODNIgov’s National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) is working to help secure our borders, identify those already in our country illegally who pose a threat to the American people, and get them removed.
Here's what we've done in @POTUS’s first 100 days in office🧵👇
After President Trump’s designation of cartels and transnational gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, I directed NCTC to pursue these terrorists who traffic deadly narcotics into the country. washingtonreporter.news/p/exclusive-tu…
To date, NCTC has identified and provided leads to law enforcement on approximately 750 individuals with ties to MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Sinaloa Cartel as a part of its screening and vetting process.
NCTC is actively working to track down the location of illegal migrants who previously used an ISIS network to enter our country so they can be deported immediately.
To date, we have identified more than 400 of these individuals with terror ties.
We are also working to ensure those who enter our country are vetted through a single source, as well as those who already entered our country illegally.
This will streamline processes to prevent terrorists from entering our country, determine who is already in our country, identify those posing a threat, and remove them.

Our nation’s Intelligence Community must be focused on our national security mission. Politically motivated leaks undermine our national security and the trust of the American people, and will not be tolerated.
