Donald Trump Administration Border Policy

At the National Prayer Breakfast and in an NBC Nightly News interview, former President Trump publicly defended DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and said he “completely” rejected calls to fire her over criticism of immigration enforcement tactics — asking, “Why would I do that?” He tied his support to claims that the administration has the “strongest border in the history” of the country and the best crime numbers since 1900, echoing Noem’s declaration that the border is the most secure in U.S. history.
