Trump delivers on MAJOR border milestone · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The term administration, delivering six straight months of zero releases
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: at the border, but there's still a mess to clean
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: up from Biden's border crisis over four years. In recent days,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the YUS Border Patrol has nabbed a number of the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: legal criminal aliens, including a convicted killer, a Mexican gang member,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and even a Venezuelan hitman. Joining US now is the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Chief of Border Patrol, Mike Banks. Chief, thank you for
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: being here. I think it's really important because while the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: border has been secure in an unprecedented way with six
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: straight months of zero releases, you guys are still very
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: busy on your social media feed, which I follow every day.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Just this week, a Venezuelan trend de Arragua hitman was busted.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: He was moving drugs from Peru to the US. And
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: we've seen the war on the drug cartels. But that's
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: not the only one. You also nabbed A los Zettis,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: one of the most dangerous violent Mexican cart tells he
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: was arrested with a deadly weapon, and the list goes
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: on and on. The job is far from over, it seems, Chief.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Griffin, thanks for having me on. Yeah, you're
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: absolutely right. So you know, we're seeing unprecedented lows, record lows.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Fifty five years was the last time we saw this
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: number of loaves in the legal cross border activity. But
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we're not waving a victory flag yet. We will not
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: be satisfied until we achieved complete operational control, which means
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that everyone that attempts to enter this country is apprehended, prosecuted,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and then deported. And so you're absolutely right, you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty one crossings yesterday, comparing that to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: this time last year where we had tens of thousands crossing,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and so we're very proud of the work the men
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and women of the Border Patrol have done in nine
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: short months. But it's all it's all gas, no breaks downhill.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: We are not done. And as you know, we are
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: assisting ice and over twenty seven cities across the United
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: States with thousands of agents helping them out. And I'm
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: often asked, you know, US Border Patrol, what are you
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: guys doing on the interior. We're exactly that, we're the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: United States Border Patrol and we're going to go anywhere
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in the United States to enforce our immigration laws.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And our viewers are seeing some video here out of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the Yuma, Arizona sector, but also in Texas in California,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Border Tool continues to harden the border, to put up
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: wall pieces, to put up more Constantina wire tell me
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: about that, Yeah, sir, So.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: We're gonna put up a significant amount of border wall.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: We're going to resume the border wall that was sitting
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: on the ground under the Biden administration because they refused
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to put it up. We've proven over and over again
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that border wall works. We're manning that border wall, not
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: just with the agents, but also with technology, you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: everything from ground based sensors to UAS's for Unmannaro surveillance
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to keep that twenty four to seven persistent surveillance over
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: our border, and then also continuing to work on the interior.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: We're going to be laying approximately nine hundred miles of
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: our border Booy barrier, which is going to be right
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: on the international boundary in the center of the river
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: as our first line of defense, using our wall as
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: our second line of defense, and we're going to be
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: laying down miles and miles of that. And so the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: expectation is that we'll have over nine hundred miles of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Buoie border barrier and an additional twelve hundred miles of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: border wall.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And that's delivering on the president's promise to do just that.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: The American people voted for the border wall, and now
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you're delivering. I want to come back just to one
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: thing you said, though, you mentioned we haven't seen loads
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: like this and over fifty years at the border, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: we saw a few months ago we started to hear
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: about a trend that is moving towards negative net migration.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Are we still on track for that?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: We are. Not only we see a negative net migration,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: but we're also seeing those that were starting their journey
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to come this way reverse migration. People are starting to leave.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You know, you've seen the numbers touted about the number
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of deportations. One of the most one of the things
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we're most proud of is a number of people that
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: are self deporting. They're saying, hey, we're going to take
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: advantage of the opportunity the US government is giving us
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and allow us to leave on our own so that
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: we can attempt to apply for some type of status
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: in the future. And so that's my message to anyone
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: in this country illegally take advantage of the opportunities that we,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the United States Governor, are giving you to leave now
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: because if you wait until you're apprehended and deported, you
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: won't be allowed to return.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: In Chief, just in the last few seconds, I've got it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Do you want to ask you? The men and women
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in Green continue to work. Over the forty three days
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of the government shut down, the number of percentage of
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: assaults on ice and borderatrol up eight thousand percent. But
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: yet you are continuing to recruit and have people, it
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: seems they want to be a part of this.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Our recruit numbers are through the roof, Griff, and I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: tell you this, you know, imagine that when you have
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: an administration like President Trump and Secretary of Nome that
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: actually support the men and women of the US Border Patrol,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: allow us to go out there and do our work.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: People want to be a part of this mission. This
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: is an important mission. Border security is national security, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: our recruit numbers are through the roof. We've put over
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a thousand new agents on the ground this year, have
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a thousand at the academy, and plan on tripling that
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: next year.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: All right, Chief Mike Banks, thank you for your time
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and the work you and the men and women of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Green do Thank you.
• 5:06
