Congressional leaders in both the House and Senate have revealed what former President Donald Trump has in store for border security and immigration reform if he reenters the White House.
Tightening border security and cracking down on domestic enforcement are all on the agenda if President Trump is re-elected in November, according to several Republicans who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation. Tennessee Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Troy Neals, along with Tennessee Rep. Mark Greene, have focused on this issue in Congress and are ready to help the incoming Trump administration, and are willing to wait. He said there was.

“Every day we hear about illegal aliens assaulting and killing other Americans,” Cruz told DCNF. “I have been fighting for justice for Jocelyn Nangaray, the 12-year-old from Houston who was brutally murdered by two illegal aliens released into Texas under the administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I did.”
“I look forward to passing the Jocelyn Justice Act in the next Congress and having President Trump sign it into law,” Cruz continued. “This law is designed to ensure that no child or family ever experiences what happened to Jocelyn again.”

Nungaray was a 12-year-old Houston girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted and murdered by two Venezuelan men in June. Federal immigration authorities said the two men entered the United States illegally before being arrested for Nungarai’s brutal murder.
Jocelyn’s Law of Justice will be needed The law says the Department of Homeland Security must “make every reasonable effort” to detain illegal immigrants before releasing them into the interior. However, if illegal immigrants are released, the bill would require continued GPS monitoring until they are deported or their immigration process is complete.
The bill would also give federal immigration authorities the power to immediately deport undocumented immigrants who violate the terms of their release, potentially preventing incredible crimes committed by undocumented immigrants who repeatedly encounter law enforcement. This is a proposal.
“Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have flooded our country with dangerous illegal aliens and destroyed American lives,” Nehls told DCNF. “I have introduced legislation to remove illegal aliens who do not comply with release orders and improve our obligations to track and detain illegal aliens throughout the process.”
“Too many Americans are dying at the hands of the illegal aliens that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden brought into our country,” Nehls continued. “Congress must do everything in its power to put Americans first, not illegal aliens who should never be here in the first place.”
The Neils District primarily covers the suburbs of Houston; sponsor I support the Jocelyn Justice Act on the House side. Like Mr. Cruz, Republican lawmakers undermined the Biden-Harris administration by releasing undocumented immigrants when there was space in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities.

“In the second Trump administration, the House Homeland Security Committee is committed to returning America to an era of secure borders and strong domestic law enforcement,” said Greene, who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee. said. DCNF. “Ending the Biden-Harris border crisis will require two things: policy changes to stop the flow of foreign nationals being denied entry into our country, and the consequences of illegal entry. further funding for domestic enforcement to prove that
The House Homeland Committee, chaired by Greene, remains the Biden-Harris administration’s fiercest critic, demanding answers on a series of immigration-related controversies. Review process The case involved the entry of an Afghan national recently arrested on suspicion of planning an election day terrorist attack. suspicion of failure The government stipulates that foreign nationals must undergo appropriate screening before boarding domestic flights. handling of Among many border issues is the entry of unaccompanied alien children into the country.
“Although we do not control the budget process, I believe it is paramount to provide significant increases to ICE’s detention and removal operations, and I have been vocal about the need for this. I insist,” Green continued.
All three members were also presented with the 2024 Congressional Champions in Internal Affairs Enforcement Award from the National Center for Immigration and Enforcement (nice) for legislative efforts. NICE has defended hawkish border policies in Washington, D.C., and has tracked data showing the consequences of lax enforcement.

President Trump’s term in office.
NICE found that in the first three fiscal years of the Trump administration, there were 423,102 deportations of criminal aliens, but during the same period under the current administration, that number dropped to 134,617. It became. These numbers represent a 74% reduction in deletions overall.

He added that more detention beds are needed and called for “immediate” GPS monitoring of all illegal immigrants listed on non-detention records to ensure thorough deportation is properly carried out. .
“The champions of indoor enforcement will definitely be at the front of the Capitol,” Howman said.
Lawmakers said they were prepared to work with allies in a serious effort if Trump occupied the Oval Office in January.
“We are deeply grateful to the National Center for Immigration and Customs Enforcement for all of its work to stop the Biden-Harris Administration’s open borders and anti-enforcement policies and to inform Americans about the harm these policies have caused. ” Green said of the organization. “I encourage my colleagues on the Hill to consider partnering with them to pursue creative and effective policy solutions to this self-inflicted crisis.”
“I am proud to work with some great allies on this bill, including the National Center for Immigration and Enforcement,” Cruz said, referring to the Jocelyn Justice Act. “Together, we will act to stop the crimes enabled by this Biden-Harris administration.”
