Sec. Hegseth: ‘We Will Not Rest Until We Have Complete Operational Control of Every Inch of All of Our Borders’

EXCERPT:

HEGSETH: “The Department of War is once again defending our borders as a priority of our national defense. With our law enforcement partners, we are defending our borders and making our streets safe again. Crossings at our southern border, at the U.S.-Mexico border, have dropped to the lowest number in history. Murders nationwide have plummeted by more than 20 percent. We now have operational control of our southern border. Zero people are crossing our southern border. We will not rest until we have complete operational control of every inch of all of our borders. So it starts with us. We're addressing it.”
