Pres. Trump thank you very much. We have a very important announcement, and were going to state some facts and things that have happened recently that are very positive in terms of crime and crime prevention. This is about ms13. And well have another announcement next week with the attorney general, the fbi, and others concerning our cities, because the leftwing group of people that are running our cities are not doing the job that theyre supposed to be doing. And its not a very tough job to do if they knew what they were doing. So well be talking about that next week and probably have an announcement as to what were planning to do to help them. Theyre supposed to be asking for help, and they dont want to ask. So maybe theyre proud or maybe they think its bad politically, but we cant have happen whats happening. But were here today to provide an update on my administrations allout campaign to destroy ms13, a vile and evil gang of people. Weve just concluded a historic operation, leading to the arrest and indictment of dozens of savage ms13 members and leaders all across the country. So this is something thats taken place over the last few days. I want to thank attorney general barr for doing a great job, in many ways, many ways, not just here. Acting secretary of Homeland Security wolf; and fbi director wray for joining us today. And well be discussing a little bit about what we did and where were going. But ms13 has been a problem for our country for a long time. Weve taken them out by the thousands. While radical leftwing politicians have fought to open borders and welfare for illegal aliens, my administration has fought for safe streets. We want security for our people. We want the rule of law. We want law and order. In the last three years, ice has deported over 16,000 gang members and arrested over 2,000 members of ms13. Think of those numbers. 16,000 and arrested over 2,000 members of ms13. Weve also deported a lot of the ms13s out of our country. This weeks action by the joint Task Force Vulcan is the most recent offense to we really this has been a big offensive in my administrations war on foreign gangs, of which we came into this administration and we said whats going on . We had gangs from countries that you wouldnt believe. More than 20 of the criminals we indicted and arrested in the past seven days were illegal aliens. Yesterday, for the first time ever, the Eastern District of virginia thank you very much indicted ms13 leaders on charges of terrorism. So we have the ms13 leader on charges of terrorism. And thats a first. Is that correct . Mr. Terwilliger yes, sir. Yes, mr. President. Pres. Trump we are using whichsm, gives us extra strength. In new york and nevada, 21 ms13 members and leaders have been indicted on charges, including murder, kidnapping, and drug trafficking. The doj has also announced that it will seek the Death Penalty for a bloodthirsty ms13 leader responsible for the despicable killing of seven americans, including two teenage girls. Over the past few days, the doj and dhs have made several arrests at high, high levels in these cases, including several immigration arrests. And i want to thank chad wolf for working along with the fbi and with the attorney general. Theyve worked very closely together at the border. And the border, as you know, is setting new records for allowing people in that are allowed to come in, allowing people in legally. We believe the monsters who murder children should be put to death. We seem to have quite a good agreement on that. These people murder children and they do it as slowly and viciously as possible. We will not allow these animals to terrorize our communities. And my administration will not rest until every member of ms13 is brought to justice. We have done a great job with ms13, but now wea™re stepping now, we are stepping it up to an even higher level. This has never happened before. Theres never been any move like this before. Much of it has already taken place, otherwise we wouldnt be talking about it. So when biden and the radical left want to open borders for ms13 and others, we want strong borders. I have said, we want borders. Without borders, you dont have a strong country. And we have a great country, and its coming back stronger than ever, from job numbers to every other number. Its coming back stronger than ever before. So we are going to have a great third quarter. We are going to have a great fourth quarter. And next year is going to be one of the strongest years economically wea™ve ever had. We have ever had. So, im going to ask ag barr to say a few words about the ms13 weve done and what we doing and what we plan to do. And next week, i think are going to have a very exciting News Conference because we are going to be talking about some of these cities that where the democrats running them have just lost control of the cities. So that will be very interesting. Bill, please. Attorney general barr when i came into the department as attorney general, the president made it clear that one of his to reduce Violent Crime in the United States a was to destroy ms13 in the United States. And we have been in here discussing with the president is part of that effort, which is project vulcan, or Task Force Vulcan, which is targeting the higherlevel players in the ms13 operations in the United States. Ms13 is somewhat unique in this sense they have the street savagery that you would see in a gang; is not driven by commercial interests the way, for example, the mafia traditionally was. Its about honor of being the most savage, bloodthirsty person you can be and building up a reputation as a killer. So this is, in some ways, is a death cult. And then they use the terror that they cause by their savagery to extort. And they have increasingly into Human Trafficking and now narcotics trafficking. But thats a sideline, to some extent, to their basic purpose, which is violence, terrorizing people. Also, unlike a street gang, they are highly organized as a transnational organization. They operate with a hierarchy, think of it as a crime family, essentially. And then under each program, they have different cliques. They have programs and cliques operating in the United States, while their center of gravity is in central america. There are thousands that have come into the United States illegally. They are virtually all illegal aliens. They come in now through the although its harder to get across the border, but traditionally, they have come across the border into houston and then fanned out across the United States into Different Centers of activity. Today, we were talking with the president about three actions we took. Melgar daaz was indicted in the Eastern District of virginia a the first time we have used terrorism charges against a member of ms13. He was responsible for activities in 13 states a 20 cliques in the United States. He was also the person who would greenlight assassinations in the United States. The orders come from el salvador or they request to assassinate people who go down to el salvador, and he would greenlight the hit. We also took down an hsi case in las vegas. We took down the hollywood clique, which operated not only in nevada, but also in california and in the Eastern District of new york, again, long island. And we took down 21 members and the leadership of that organization. And then, finally these are the , new york indictees. And then, finally, i announced that we are going to seek the Death Penalty against alexi saenz who is a leader in the Eastern District of new york, a leader of ms13 there. The president made a trip to brentwood, new york, earlier in his administration. And he met with the families of victims that have been killed by ms13, including the family of two young girls who were butchered with machetes. And the person that we are seeking the Death Penalty against was involved in those murders, as well as the murder of two African Americans who they just saw on the street and thought they were from a rival gang and just butchered. So those are the actions that were taken. There is more coming as we are going to target the leadership of ms13. We are working very closely with the el salvadorians on this; they have been very cooperative. Have the hsi and the fbi with operations down in el salvador. Pres. Trump in past administrations, el salvador did not cooperate. Administration, my second or third day, i said thats not going to work. Get them out of here, we are not taking them. They dont even come close to saying that anymore. Be operation is going to very good. This is probably the meanest, worst gang anywhere in the world, the ms13 group. A big dent is put in them over the last few days. And really over the last year. Heavy focus on ms13. They are an evil group of people. They are sick and arranged and we are taking care of it. I want to thank the great crime fighters that are with us today. Niche from the Eastern District of virginia. Zach, the director of the fbi. Map of ice. Mike of the bureau of prisons. You might ask why the bureau of prisons . They like to try to operate out of prisons. We have to make sure collective intelligence in the prison system. Tim, the secretary of dhs, chad. We forgot one person. The head of this program is john durham jr. Of the Eastern District of new york, who has spent how many years . 10 years in long island, which is one of the hotbeds. You are so important. It is like central casting. People are central casting and you are going to do a great job and we appreciate it. And we will be meeting you in a similar vein but a different subject next week. That concerns our cities and people that have lost control of some of our great cities. Thank you all very much. Thank you. You talked about taking over cities earlier this week. Is that what next weeks announcement is about . You will be seeing next week. We have a conference next week and we will tell you and great to great detail. They have been run very poorly in the cities, whether it is seattle, minneapolis where we had the National Guard go in. Wesoon we did that, straighten that mess out. They should have been able to do that locally. Their police are good. They were told not to do anything. Portland was very rough and they called us in and we did a good job. Have other cities that are out of control. They are like war zones. If the city is not going to , i dont say out this for political reasons. They are all democrats. They are liberal, leftwing democrats. It is almost like they think this is going to be this way forever. In chicago, 68 people were shot and 18 died last week. We are not going to put up with that. For our next discussion. Thank you very much. I get along very well with dr. Fauci. Relationship good with dr. Fauci. Thank you very much. [indiscernible] the president s, from public affairs.
