Watch: Karoline Leavitt Touts Huge MS-13 Arrest, Absolutely Skewers Dems and ‘Activist Judges’
We reported earlier on the Trump team’s arrest in Virginia of a man believed to be one of the top three MS-13 gang members. This involved a coordinated operation between the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Prince William County Police Department, Virginia State Police, and other local law enforcement.
FBI Director Kash Patel called it a massive victory for a safer America.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared on “Fox and Friends” on Thursday to make another critical point about the arrest.
“This is what happens when you have competent federal leadership at the top,” she said.
We’ve been used to having nothing done for so long under Joe Biden, but now the action Trump is bringing is a wonderful thing. As Leavitt noted, Trump and his team are not only “cleaning up the mess” that was left by Biden, but she also nailed the liberal Democrats and media.
“This took place 30 miles outside of Washington, D.C., where you have politicians and mainstream media journalists who live in this city and who have railed against the president and his crackdown on illegal immigration and on violent crime,” she said.
“They should be grateful that monsters like this are no longer going to be living in their communities.”
She also ripped into “activist judges.”
“Think about how insane it is that we have a Democrat Party, and we have Democrat activists who are judges in our judicial branch, who are fighting against this administration from deporting these heinous individuals. If we have a country where the president of the United States, where the commander in chief, cannot deport foreign terrorists and illegal aliens, the American people are in a lot of trouble.”
She said that through it all, they were going to continue to fight in the courts and “continue with the mass deportation campaign that President Donald Trump promised the American public.”
Then Leavitt drove it home when she pointed out that not only were we finally getting real actions, but it was also about “sending a strong message with these visuals to the rest of the world.” Criminals aren’t going to come knowing they might possibly end up in a tough prison in El Salvador. She pointed out how the illegal border entry numbers had dropped dramatically under Trump with what they had been doing.
“It just proves that everybody who said we needed a border bill was wrong. We just needed a president who actually wanted to enforce our nation’s immigration,” she concluded. The panel agreed and celebrated the arrest of the MS-13 leader.
Bingo. That’s the bottom line, and the Biden team was just trying to gaslight the American people so they could avoid taking appropriate action to deal with the huge problem. Fortunately, the American people understood that and rejected the Biden team in November. Even now the Democrats are trying to throw a wrench into the deportations, and it just shows what they were really all about — they don’t care about the safety of the American people.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
