Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) introduced a bill to expedite deportation efforts across the United States.
The bill, exclusively obtained by The Blaze, authorizes the “expedited removal of aliens who are criminal gang members, members of foreign terrorist organizations, or have been convicted of certain specified crimes.”
“Our number one priority should be to protect American communities.” America should never be a safe haven for gang members, terrorists, or violent offenders,” Gill told the outlet.
He added that “Democrat leaders invited them to invade our county en masse,” asserting that “serious crimes require decisive consequences. My bill backs President Trump’s efforts to capture and deport violent illegal aliens quickly at the behest of Americans across the nation who want their families to thrive in a safe society.”
In a statement on social media, Gill declared that his bill “empowers law enforcement to remove [violent criminals] swiftly and decisively.”
Figures reported by the New York Times posit that President Donald Trump’s administration is on pace to deport over 400,000 illegal migrants in the first year of his second term.
Similarly, the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection announced that Fiscal Year 2025 saw the lowest number of annual border apprehensions since 1970.
“We have had the most secure border in American history and our end of year numbers prove it. We have shattered multiple records this year and once again we have broken a new record with the lowest number of Southwest border apprehensions in 55 years,” said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. “Under President Trump, we have empowered and supported our law enforcement to do their job and they have delivered.”
