Trump cracks down on gang violence
...
The Trump administration is making good on its pledge to tackle gang violence head-on, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Thursday, following the high-profile arrest of a top MS-13 leader. The operation, executed just 30 miles from Washington, D.C., marks a significant step in the administration’s aggressive campaign against crime and illegal immigration.
During an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Leavitt hailed the arrest as a triumph of effective leadership. “This is what happens when you have competent federal leadership at the top,” she declared, emphasizing that the effort is only the starting point. “We are going to continue with the mass deportation campaign that President Donald Trump promised the American public.”
The suspect, a 24-year-old described by Leavitt as a “national ringleader of the brutal MS-13 gang,” was nabbed in a coordinated sting involving the Justice Department, FBI, ATF, Virginia State Police, and other groups. Leavitt pointed out the proximity of the arrest to the nation’s capital, suggesting it should ease the minds of residents in the D.C. area.
“This took place 30 miles outside of Washington, D.C., where you have politicians and mainstream media journalists who live in this city and who have railed against the president and his crackdown on illegal immigration and on violent crime,” she stated. “They should be grateful that monsters like this are no longer going to be living in their communities.”
Leavitt didn’t shy away from pinning blame on the Biden administration, linking a surge in illegal border crossings to the previous leadership’s policies.
“President Trump and his team are cleaning up that mess by arresting these individuals,” she asserted. The arrest, she argued, is a clear signal of the administration’s intent to reverse those trends.

The press secretary also touched on ongoing legal skirmishes over deportations, including a recent push to send alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador. “A radical judge at the appeals court has denied the president and our legal team in the case against the Alien Enemies Act. But we are going to continue to forge ahead in the courts,” Leavitt explained.
She expressed frustration with judicial resistance, adding, “Think about how insane it is that we have a Democrat Party, and we have Democrat activists who are judges in our judicial branch, who are fighting against this administration from deporting these heinous individuals. If we have a country where the president of the United States, where the commander in chief, cannot deport foreign terrorists and illegal aliens, the American people are in a lot of trouble

Many Americans think it is crazy for the courts to block the deportation of criminal gangs. It is not like these people are good citizens who deserve a break. Getting the foreign criminals out of the country is a less expensive way of dealing with them.
