What are the key accomplishments in Trump's first 100 days?
100 days into the new administration and Team Trump declares the border is secure.
Today, as I'm standing here, we have the most secure border in the history of this nation.
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Tuesday, April 29th, and this is Morning Wire. Illinois Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker is fueling presidential buzz after a fiery speech this week targeting Trump.
We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.
And while courts block Trump's agenda, the administration strikes back, arresting judges charged with illegally shielding migrants.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.
How is the border situation being addressed?
The White House is celebrating 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency, and a huge part of its focus is on securing the border.
Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan was at the White House for the event. Mary Margaret, you spoke to Borders' Tom Homan. What did he say?
Hey, Georgia. So yesterday was all about immigration at the White House. Just walking down the path to the briefing room, there were over 100 signs highlighting the 100 arrests that the Trump administration has made in these first 100 days. And we're talking about illegal criminals, rapists, murderers, assaults, burglaries, attacks on children, just heinous crimes that occurred throughout the past several years. Now, Tom Homan is never a soft-spoken fellow, but when he spoke to the reporters yesterday, he just unleashed, as he talked about the Biden administration's border policies, how they purposefully work to unsecure the border and the steps Trump is taking to fix that problem. Take a look at this.
What are the criticisms of the Biden administration's border policies?
178.
15,000 to 178. Unprecedented success. Under the first 100 days, it was actually January 20th to April 1st, Last year, 184,000 illegal aliens were released into the United States. Under this administration, nine. People always want to say, why are you so emotional when you testify? Why are you so emotional on the network? Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, they'd understand why I'm emotional. When you listen to the Lakin Riley, 17 Men, is that young lady fighting for her life? Don't just think, okay, a young woman died. Think of how she died, the terror that she went through. And these children are sexually assaulted. I stood in back with tractor trailer and 19 dead people at my feet that baked to death.
Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.
What crimes are being highlighted in relation to illegal immigration?
Now, I noticed that so many of the crimes that the Trump administration was highlighting had been committed by illegals against children. So I asked Homan about that. This list has a very high number of sexual assaults on a child. Can you comment on that and why there are so many crimes against children committed by illegals in this country?
I don't know why. It's sick. The amount of child rapists we've arrested under this administration that could have been arrested under the Biden administration. They were out there. They had their final orders. They were out there, but they didn't go look for him.
Now, you also spoke to some other officials in addition to Tom Holman, correct?
That's right. After the briefing was over, I sat down with a number of Trump officials to talk about the first 100 days of this administration. One of these officials was Ron Vitiello, who served under Holman in the first administration, and now he's back for round two. He tells me that things are completely different this time around.
Under Trump 1, I should have been more aggressive in getting the job done, and we don't have that restriction now. Everybody knows what this president's agenda is. Everybody knows what Kristi Noem expects of each of the agencies, these particular agencies, and how we're working together, and we're making that happen. There's a lot to do, and we want to make sure we do it in a way that's sustainable over time.
How are Trump officials responding to immigration challenges?
Videolo explained how closely all these Trump agencies are working together, from DOJ to ICE to Homeland Security to the Defense Department. We also talked to Sebastian Gorka, who said pretty much the same thing.
