Kerry was the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 2004 and said all presidents should recognize that "without a border protected, you don't have a nation."

President Donald Trump "was right" on the issue of immigration, Kerry conceded while discussing some of the reasons Democrats lost the 2024 election, adding that, on this issue, "we all should have been right."

Under the four years of the Biden administration, over 10 million illegal aliens entered the US, including about two million known ‘gotaways'—individuals who evaded Border Patrol apprehension.

In 2024, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that more than 662,000 criminal illegal aliens were released into the interior of the US Among those, 435,719 had already been convicted of a crime, with 226,847 more facing pending criminal charges.

Multiple US citizens were brutally murdered by illegal aliens during the Biden administration, including Georgia nursing student Laken Riley and Maryland mother Rachel Morin. During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly highlighted stories of victims of illegal immigration, pledging to secure America's border and deport those living in the US illegally.

Since Trump's return to the White House, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan have spearheaded the administration's efforts to seal the border and arrest and deport illegal aliens, with priority placed on the removal of criminal illegal aliens.

"The Biden administration let in people from all over the world [who] are horrible individuals, along with people who came here trying to be a part of America," Noem said Thursday during an interview on Fox News.

Since Trump took office, the Department of Homeland Security has "removed hundreds and hundreds of known and suspected terrorists through these ICE operations," Noem said.

ICE is carrying out targeted arrests across the US, with a large apprehension operation in Los Angeles this week that gained significant national attention after LA Mayor Karen Bass attempted to interrupt the operation, calling it "outrageous."

While ICE agents attempt to carry out the Trump administration's mandate to arrest those in the US illegally, DHS has seen a 700% increase in assaults on ICE agents.

"Our communities are getting safer every single day, but these targeted attacks against these law enforcement officers is a disrespect and a dangerous situation that we're in," Noem contended.

"My message to law enforcement is this," Noem said on X, "We will never abandon you and we are doing everything we can to keep you safe. We are so grateful to the men and women on the front lines of this fight!" Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
