“As the representative of the Largest Border District in the Nation, I’ve made it my utmost mission to secure our border.”
By Cong. Tony Gonzales
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) — Within hours of taking office, President Trump rolled out a flurry of executive orders, putting a huge emphasis on securing the border and making our country safe! In one of the most significant orders, President Trump announced that he is ready to designate drug gangs and cartels as what they are: Terrorists!
Over the next two years, we have many priorities to accomplish – and I look forward to staying in touch as we work to make our country safer and more prosperous.
Designate Drug Gangs And Cartels As Terrorists!
I’ve been fighting for this since my first day in Congress by introducing the “Security First Act” which would require the U.S. Secretary of State to consider designating Mexican drug cartels and Tren de Aragua (TdA) as a transnational criminal organization and as a Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).
This designation will supercharge the law enforcement tools available to fight these criminals.
It’s time for us to not only take the gloves off, but put some teeth in the legislation.
Reinstating His Remain in Mexico Policy and Ending the Practice of Catch & Release
Other major elements of President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration include reinstating his Remain in Mexico policy, which restores a key part of his border security agenda by requiring migrants to wait for their hearings in Mexico instead of the U.S., and ending the practice of catch and release.
These are two critical measures I have fought for and supported for four years.
As the representative of the largest border district in the country, I have made it my utmost mission to secure our border. I’ve proudly led delegations to the border for four years, helped pass HR 2 which includes major border security measures, and delivered critical funding for our brave Border Patrol agents as well as state and local law enforcement.
It’s time to make our country safe again.
With President Trump’s leadership, I’m working alongside him to do just that.
