CBP is committed to keeping our communities safe from bad actors.
Nearly 300lbs of meth disguised as solar panels were seized by CBP officers at LAX. The shipment, headed for New Zealand, was flagged based on prior intel and intercepted before export. We do this every day. These "criminal masterminds" never stood a chance.
🚨 Thousands and Thousands of arrests in the month of June - and they’re happening all over the country. The Men and Women of ICE continue to work hard for the American people by keeping us safe. Thank God we have a President who is prioritizing the lives of Americans.

Traffickers use force, fraud, and coercion to exert ultimate control of their victims—making victims vulnerable to being pressured into criminal acts they otherwise would not have committed. Victims of human trafficking are a unique population that deserve unique protections…

$280 Million delivered to South Texas farmers and ranchers! Proud to announce the delivery of emergency aid funding under the 1944 Water Treaty Agriculture Assistance Program. We will continue to work with @BrookeLRollins and @MillerForTexas to support Texas farmers.

.@CBPCommissioner is right: "It's time for local and state leaders to step up to the plate, get rid of these sanctuary city laws, and simply enforce the laws on the books." Sanctuary City policies don't make communities safer, they create sanctuaries for criminals.
This shows strong leadership in action!
Six months in, @POTUS is delivering HUGE WINS for America: -Border crossings at record lows -Energy production soaring -Largest tax cut for working Americans -$7.6T in new investment -Inflation down, wages up The difference is leadership.
I was honored to meet with the Texas Corn Producers to discuss how we can further support Texas farmers in the upcoming Farm Bill! The One Big Beautiful Bill secured MAJOR wins for our agriculture producers, but there is still more to be done to ensure our farmers can continue…
