President Trump on Friday will visit Long Island, New York, an epicenter of the MS-13 street gang violence, to call on Congress to fully fund the crack down on illegal immigration that is key to stamping out the gang.
“He’s going to be rallying Congress to fully support what we in the administration want to do to end this threat once and for all,” said a senior White House official.
For the fight, the president wants thousands of more U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, more immigration judges, laws for quicker deportations and penalties for sanctuary cities, said the official.
“He’s sending a message to every local police officer, every sheriff, every state trooper and every ICE officer in America that this this administration has their back and that it is encouraging them to work with us collaboratively to identify and remove gang members from their communities,” said the White House official.
The Trump administration has made taking down MS-13 a new focus of it’s hardline approach to illegal immigration.

Here is something that absolutely astonishes me. I live in Northern Virginia where there are many MS 13 gang members. One of them was caught by ice and deported for multiple crimes. He recently tried to sneak back and was one of the fatalities in the back of a tractor-trailer in a Walmart parking lot. The local news showed this person and about 15 years old and said area resident died while trying to get back to the United States. Almost every social media outlet was bashing Trump because of his policies and that it was his fault this child had died. This stupidity of people amazes me. MS 13 members will murder you and not give it a second thought. He was trying to get back in the country to his gang. Not to follow the American dream.
ReplyDeleteThe white house is getting nothing done. Who is getting things done? Are gangs getting things done? Who are the movers and shakers in this country?
ReplyDeleteLegalize all drugs and the gangs will disappeared overnight because their profit structure will be destroyed.
ReplyDeleteIf you think that idea is crazy let me ask you this: Would you smoke crack if it was legal? No, because the only people who would say yes are already crackheads.
