Homeland Security Secretary Mullin blamed the previous administration's border policies for the entry of foreign security threats into the United States. The Trump administration has apprehended 2,210 terrorists since taking office, as reported by Mullin, who claimed the US now possesses the most secure border in the history of the country.

Mullin stated that individuals seeking to enter the US must embrace American values and identified these arrests as part of a commitment to fulfill campaign pledges regarding national security. He asserted that the current government is correcting the failures of the Biden administration by removing criminals who were previously permitted to enter.
