November 2024: An Iranian national and IRGC asset was charged for plotting to assassinate President Trump.
In just the first months of 2026, the Trump Admin has arrested scores of depraved illegal alien killers, rapists, and violent sex predators who were unleashed by the Radical Left’s open borders agenda — policies Democrats are desperate to restore.
🧵 Here are a few of them:
Kenneth Moreno Guzman, a Mexican illegal, is charged with the horrific rape of an 11-year-old girl in Georgia while holding her 10-year-old sister at knifepoint in the same room.
This sick monster broke into the family’s home through the back door, then raped the young girl in front of her terrified little sister.
The predator, who had been previously removed from the country, later told police he was “attracted” to the child.
Samuel Antonio Maldonado-Erazo, a Honduran illegal, is charged with the savage first-degree murder of his own three-year-old U.S. citizen nephew in Florida.
This sick monster beat the toddler to death with at least 17 strikes to the head, plus extensive bruising, intentional burns, a broken collarbone, a transected pancreas, multiple broken ribs (one completely detached from the spine), and signs of possible sexual abuse.
Previously deported, he illegally re-entered and was released into the country under the Biden Administration.
Tonight, @POTUS will address the nation on Operation Epic Fury.
From day one, the objectives have been clear: obliterate Iran’s missiles and production, annihilate its navy, sever its support for terrorist proxies, and ensure it never acquires a nuclear weapon.
🧵
.@POTUS (March 2): “Our objectives are clear. First, we’re destroying Iran’s missile capabilities… and their capacity to produce brand new ones — pretty good ones they make. Second, we’re annihilating their navy… Third, we’re ensuring that the world’s number one sponsor of terror can never obtain a nuclear weapon… And finally, we’re ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund, and direct terrorist armies outside of their borders.”
.@VP (March 2): “Whatever happens with the regime in one form or another, it’s incidental to the President’s primary objective here — which is to make sure the Iranian terrorist regime does not build a nuclear bomb.”
Since descending the golden escalator, President Trump has been relentlessly smeared as a "racist" by the Radical Left who can’t tolerate a President who sees only one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.
🧵 As promised, here are a few of the endless receipts:
.@edokeefe himself leveled the very baseless “racist” smear against President Trump only a few years ago. 2/
Earlier this year, Democrats universally declared it was “racist“ to ensure individuals from terror-prone nations aren’t able to come to this country and kill Americans. 3/
In 14 of the top 20 metro areas with the largest illegal migrant populations, home list prices declined year-over-year in December — and the three metro areas that saw modest price increases are all so-called “sanctuary cities.”
Overall, home prices have dropped for the first time in more than two years as housing affordability shows signs of improvement under the Trump Administration.
Mass deportations = higher wages.
American truckers and construction workers — both industries with high numbers of foreign-born workers — have reported large increases in pay as blue-collar wages grow at the fastest clip in decades.
Overall, real wages for American workers are on track to rise 4.2% in President Trump’s first full year.
.@TheJusticeDept is currently engaged in multiple active, ongoing, and extensive investigations into the fraudulent activity that has occurred in various Minnesota programs, including the state’s Feeding Our Future, Housing Stabilization Services, Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention programs, and Evergreen Recovery.
— To date, DOJ has charged 98 defendants in Minnesota fraud-related cases — 85 of whom are of Somali descent. 64 the defendants have already been convicted.
— DOJ has already issued over 1,750 subpoenas, executed over 130 search warrants, and conducted over 1,000 witness interviews as part of its ongoing investigation.
Many of the facilities and schemes visited in @nickshirleyy's and @AlphaNews's tenacious reporting are currently under active investigation by the DOJ; in fact, one of the buildings prominently featured in Shirley's video has had 13 defendants charged for fraud.
— The @FBI is conducting investigations into dozens of the state’s health care and home care providers accused of fraud, surging forensic accountants and data analytics teams, and investigating potential links to elected officials and terrorist financing.
.@DHSgov is on the ground conducting door-to-door investigations of suspected fraud sites in Minnesota, with hundreds of Homeland Security Investigations officers in the state and more on the way.
— DHS has arrested over 1,000 criminal illegal aliens in just the past few weeks as immigration enforcement operations continue.
—Additionally, as part of Operation Twin Shield earlier this year, DHS identified over 1,300 fraud findings based on site visits in Minneapolis and Saint Paul — and is currently in the process of determining which cases require additional vetting, including for refugee status and potential denaturalization.
