No matter how much sanctuary politicians try to obstruct us, the patriots of @ICEGov will keep doing their jobs by arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens.
In the city of Austin, Texas, ICE has arrested murderers, rapists, and arsonists.
Sanctuary politicians are failing their constituents by limiting cooperation with ICE. When state, local, and federal partners work together to remove illegal aliens like these, everyone is better off. 🧵
Juan Fernando Lara Saavedra, an illegal alien from Honduras, arrested by ICE on October 29. His criminal history includes a conviction for second-degree murder. He claims to have illegally entered the United States through Texas in May 2007. After an Immigration Judge issued him a final order of removal on October 22, 2014, he was deported in November 2014. He then illegally re-entered the country – a felony – at an unknown date and location.
Under the historic leadership of President Trump, @DHSgov has had NO stronger partner on border security than @PeteHegseth and @DeptofWar.
Together, we have locked down the border, choked off the cartels’ pipeline, and saved American lives. Pete is a patriot and a warfighter, and I am proud to call him a friend.
While Americans enjoyed their weekend, the patriots of @ICEgov worked around the clock to arrest and remove dangerous criminals from our communities, including murderers, pedophiles, and sexual predators.
Far too many Americans have been harmed by criminal illegal aliens – and every single time, it is preventable.
Arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens like these saves lives. 🧵
DHS will not stop building on the historic progress made to secure the southern border.
This action will help counter cartel drone threats, protect our personnel, and strengthen security in the airspace above the border.
President Trump promised to secure the border, and we are delivering on that promise through continued action and strong partnership with @USDOT and the @DeptofWar.

Sanctuary politicians are already failing their constituents by limiting cooperation with ICE.
When state, local and federal partners work together to remove criminal illegal aliens, everyone is better off. 7 of the 10 safest cities in America cooperate with @ICEgov.
The mission continues, we won’t let sanctuary politicians stop us from arresting and removing criminals like these.🧵

Thanks to our brave Secret Service officers, this criminal illegal alien with three firearms in his vehicle was arrested near the White House before he could harm anyone.
On top of threatening President Trump, he is an illegal alien from Venezuela who was RELEASED into our country by the Biden administration. He had NO business being in our country in the first place.
This is just one example of the incredible work done by the men and women of the Secret Service every single day as they put their lives on the line to protect our nation’s leaders.
It’s an honor to work alongside Director Sean Curran and all of the patriots at the U.S. Secret Service.
BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a suspect arrested by US Secret Service last night in a stolen vehicle near the White House with a rifle, two handguns, and ammo is a Venezuelan illegal alien who threatened to kill President Trump and was previously caught and released at the Texas border in 2024 by the Biden administration.
Per DHS, last night, Secret Service agents saw a man acting suspiciously in a vehicle on Constitution Ave. near the White House. When agents approached it, the suspect, Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, told them he was hearing voices in his head telling him to come to DC to kill President Trump. A search of the car revealed he had an AR-15 style rifle, a Mac 10, a Glock-43x, and ammo. The car was also stolen.
He was arrested and charged with carrying a rifle outside of a home or business, three counts of unlawful transportation of a firearm, three counts of unregistered firearms, three counts of unregistered ammunition, possession of certain dangerous weapons, carrying a pistol without a license, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, theft, and receiving stolen property.
ICE has placed a detainer on him with US Marshals, who currently have him in custody. DHS says he crossed the TX border illegally in March 2024 and was released into the country by the Biden admin.
DHS Sec. Mullin is praising the Secret Service agents:
“Thanks to our brave Secret Service officers, this illegal alien with three firearms in his vehicle was arrested near the White House before he could harm anyone,” said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “On top of threatening President Trump, he is an illegal alien from Venezuela who had no business being in our country in the first place. This is just an example of the incredible work done by the men and women of the Secret Service every single day."
Protecting the homeland starts with the people on the front lines.
Today in Atlanta, I joined our Federal Air Marshals for a tour and drone demonstration, saw the latest TSA security technologies in action, and met with the TSA and CBP officers working every day to keep Americans safe in the skies.
I am grateful for the men and women of @TSA, @CBP and @DHSgov who are securing our skies, airports, and borders.
Excited for my friend @StephenM. President Trump made an excellent choice by choosing him as his chief of staff.
Under @SusieWiles47’s leadership, I personally learned a great deal from her on how she handled personal adversity and balanced a strong work ethic.
It’s an honor to be in the fight with so many great America First patriots.
"I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸
Under the leadership of @POTUS Trump, the men and women of @CBP, @HSI_HQ and our @HSTaskForce partners are working to SECURE our border and defeat the cartels.
Operation Southern Surge has taken thousands of pounds of drugs, thousands of rounds of ammunition and hundreds of thousands of dollars designed for the cartels, off of our streets.
International drug trafficking is a direct threat to U.S. national security and economic stability. We are CRUSHING these cartels to protect our homeland.

Governor Tim Walz and his fellow sanctuary politicians have turned the state of Minnesota into a hotbed of illegal alien crime.
When @ICEgov lodged a detainer for an illegal alien convicted for aggravated assault and drug trafficking, Minneapolis sanctuary politicians refused to cooperate and RELEASED him.
@DHSgov is calling on sanctuary politicians to put an end to this recklessness before any more lives are lost.
MINNESOTA: This illegal alien should have been REMOVED from our country years ago!
Mustafa Abdirahman Abdi, an illegal alien from Somalia, was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on April 2, 2021, but was released by the Biden administration later that same month. He was then released by sanctuary politicians in Minneapolis when they refused to honor an @ICEgov detainer.
His criminal history includes aggravated assault, aggravated trafficking of cocaine, burglary, larceny, and resisting an officer. These are the criminals sanctuary politicians defend.

365 days per year, the hardworking men and women of ICE law enforcement are targeting and arresting criminal illegal aliens to make America safe again—this includes on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Election Day.
Just yesterday, @ICEgov arrested more heinous illegal alien criminals with convictions including attempted murder, aggravated assault with a weapon, and child molestation.
The Trump Administration will never apologize for putting the safety of the American people first by arresting and removing these criminal illegal aliens. 🧵
If you vote illegally, we will find you.
Illegal voter registration and illegal voting carry significant penalties of up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 maximum fine. Even if you have lawful immigration status—noncitizens who illegally vote are subject to deportation.
Only Americans should decide American elections.
Thanks to President Trump, the brave men and women of ICE are Making America Safe Again.
Just yesterday, @ICEgov arrested more public safety threats across the country, including pedophiles, violent assailants, and drunk drivers.
Sanctuary politicians may continue trying to harbor illegal aliens, but the Trump Administration will ALWAYS put the American people first by arresting and removing criminal illegal aliens like these.🧵
If you vote illegally in this country, and you are NOT eligible to vote, @DHSgov will find you, hunt you down, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Only American citizens should be deciding American elections.
Every death at the hands of an illegal alien is 100% preventable.
At only 20 years old, Katie Abraham was killed by an illegal alien drunk driver in a tragic hit-and-run. Her father, @angeldadjoe now leads our VOICE office to fight for more victims of illegal alien crime. We can NEVER go back to Biden-era open borders lawlessness.
“The border policies under the Biden administration came to my front door and took my daughter away. She’s in a grave and I have a life sentence now...it’s foreseeable, it’s preventable, and these policies have consequences.” @angeldadjoe
President Trump closed the border, achieved negative net migration for the first time in 50 years, launched the largest mass deportation operation in history, ended catch and release— and undoubtedly has saved American lives from a purposeful border catastrophe.
We owe it to our Angel Families to NEVER forget the cost of open borders and continue the fight to protect our Homeland every single day.
