We’ll continue to do the right thing, continue to work and protect Americans, no matter what radical judge comes out and tries to stop us.

We believe he was radicalized since he’s been here in this country.

We will if they should be.

The vetting process all happened under Joe Biden's administration.

Vetting is happening when they come into the country, and that was completely abandoned under Joe Biden’s administration.

But what President Trump has put in place now for vetting is biometric information, checking social media platforms, communications, contacts, matching updates of service that was never done under Joe Biden.

What they did was check a few names and a few data points.

I made that decision. And that decision was under my complete authority and following the law and the Constitution.

The information was gathered under the administration of Joe Biden and the consequences of this horrific shooting and death of Sarah lays directly on the shoulders of Joe Biden and his administration.

We have 8,000 individuals that have been granted asylum since President Trump has been in office.

All the information that was gathered on that vetting process was gathered under the Biden administration.

He was brought into the country by the Biden administration through Operation Allies Welcome.

I have full faith and trust in this president and in this government to do the right thing to keep the American people safe.

We are going to go through every single person that has a pending asylum claim.

Nobody's coming here until we’re sure they’re going to be someone who truly deserves that program.

They will be properly vetted. They will have new standards put in place, applied to them to ensure they’re here for that purpose.

Anyone who has the information on this needs to know that we will be coming after you, and we will bring you to justice.

We’re still going through all that information, and I’ll let the FBI and (Justice Department) reveal new information, but I will say, we believe he was radicalized since he’s been here in this country.

We do believe it was through connections in his home community and state and we’re going to continue to talk to those who interacted with him, who were his family members.

Their unsung patriotism deserves recognition.

Any assault on federal officers will be met with the fullest extent of the law.

Every single ICE officer has someone who loves them — a family member, someone who cares that they come home at night.

History made: the lowest border crossings in October history and the sixth straight month of ZERO releases. This is most secure border ever.

We’re absolutely not willing to put on pause any work that we will do to keep communities safe.

There’s no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those that are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true.
