The goal is to continue strengthening the southern border of the country and ensure national security," Noem stated. In a video shared on X, Noem emphasized the importance of keeping the border secure and assured that they will continue to work in that direction.
For his part, U.S. President Donald Trump, during an interview on the Full Measure program, mentioned that since taking office, he has managed to reduce the problem of irregular immigrant crossings by 99% compared to the previous administration of Joe Biden. Trump highlighted the effectiveness of his policies by ordering the closure of the border, a measure that has been implemented.
Recently, Trump invoked the Foreign Enemies Act of 1798 to expedite the deportations of members of the transnational gang Tren de Aragua. Although a federal judge temporarily blocked the use of this law, it was reported that about 250 gang members have been transferred to El Salvador.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio communicated that El Salvador is willing to imprison members of Tren de Aragua in exchange for fair compensation. Although the actions of the U.S. government have faced legal challenges, Trump remained firm on the need to reduce the presence of undocumented individuals and those who pose a threat to the country.
As a demonstration of ongoing commitment to border security, the United States announced the expansion of more than 10 kilometers of its border wall with Mexico. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem declared that construction work has begun in Arizona to reinforce the border and prevent the irregular entry of immigrants.
