Trump continues to remove ‘worst of the worst,’ ushering in a golden age of public safety

Published October 7, 2026 9:29am ET



President Donald Trump is heading to San Antonio on Wednesday to highlight the miraculous turnaround he orchestrated in protecting the country from violent criminals, including many who were in the country illegally. Since his second term began, he has continued to remove the “worst of the worst.”

For four years under President Joe Biden, the country suffered from Democrats’ disastrous border security policies, which led to the unnecessary deaths of innocent women and girls such as Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn Nungaray at the hands of violent illegal immigrants. Trump has spent much of his second term cleaning up the mess created by Democrats who previously held power — many of whom want your vote again in November. There is still violent crime in the country, but there has been much less of it since Trump’s second term began less than two years ago.
