A GOOD START: 54 violent transnational gang members, affiliates arrested in NYC in Operation Salvo.

In a press conference on Thursday morning, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that since Operation Salvo began in New York City, authorities have arrested 54 people who are “violent transnational gang members and affiliates associated with Trinitarios.”

She noted that the operation was launched after an off-duty US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agent and his friend were attacked in a park in the city. “These two criminals came and attempted to rob them, and it ended up where they bravely fought back. This officer defended himself and his friend, but not before being shot in the face and in the arm by one of these criminals.”

She criticized the Biden administration for letting these two people into the country, saying that “those individuals have been brought to justice, but those individuals would have never been in this country if they hadn’t been allowed in by the Biden administration, when they ignored our federal laws and allowed them to come in illegally.”

Biden’s “crisis by design” is being undone.
