FBI Director Kash Patel
Tonight I can report that the FBI and @TheJusticeDept have arrested and charged yet another high-ranking member of MS-13, this time in New York.
The individual is Joel Vargas-Escobar — someone we believe to be responsible for a racketeering conspiracy that involved 11 murders.
He was allegedly part of MS-13’s critical command structure out of Las Vegas and California, so this is a major step as we continue to break violent gangs and their operations.
@FBILosAngeles, @FBILasVegas, @NewYorkFBI, and our regional LEO partners did outstanding work.
@AGPamBondi continues to lead the way in getting these violent criminals off our streets. Justice will be done.
This is a victory for a safer America — and we won’t stop until justice is delivered.

Secretary Marco Rubio
Last night, in a successful counter-terrorism operation with our allies in El Salvador, the United States military transferred a group of 17 violent criminals from the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 organizations, including murderers and rapists.
In order to keep the American people safe, @POTUS designated the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities and citizens.
Once again, we extend our gratitude to @nayibbukele and the government of El Salvador for their unparalleled partnership in making our countries safe against transnational crime and terrorism.

THE TRUMP EFFECT
Illegal aliens released into the United States from Jan 20, 2024 to April 1, 2024 under Biden - 184,241. January 20, 2025 to April 1, 2025 under Trump - 9. And 8 of those were either material witnesses in a criminal case or a significant medical emergency. And we are looking for the 184,241. The leadership of President Trump has been a game changer.

JCB to double size of US factory in wake of Trump tariffs
JCB is set to double the size of a new factory currently under construction in Texas in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs
The machinery maker confirmed today that newly-announced tariffs will significantly impact its business in the short-term.
Today JCB Chairman Anthony Bamford said: “JCB has been in business for 80 years this year and we are well accustomed to change.
“The United States is the largest market for construction equipment in the world and President Trump has galvanised us into evaluating how we can make even more products in the USA, which has been an important market for JCB since we sold our first machine there in 1964.”
JCB last year bought 400 acres of land in San Antonio after recognising the need to produce even more machines in North America, where the firm’s existing manufacturing plant in Savannah, Georgia, has operated for 25 years and employs around 1,000 people.
Its original plan for a 500,000 square feet factory in San Antonio has now been revised and JCB is forging ahead with plans to double its size to one million square feet.
The new $500m plant is due to start production next year and employ up to 1,500 people and will build on JCB’s growth in North America. …

U.S. Sends Warplanes, Ships to the Middle East in Warning to Iran
Military buildup comes amid ongoing U.S. strikes in Yemen.
WASHINGTON—The Pentagon is rapidly expanding its forces in the Middle East as the U.S. military continues airstrikes against Houthi militants in Yemen and steps up its pressure on Iran, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
President Trump has threatened in recent days to bomb Iran if Tehran doesn’t make a deal to roll back its nuclear program. But two officials said that the aim of the additional forces is to bolster the U.S. campaign in Yemen and deter Iran. The deployments aren’t preparation for an imminent Iran attack, the officials said. …

Poland to sign air defence deal with US worth almost $2 billion
WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland and the United States will sign an agreement worth nearly $2 billion for the delivery of logistical support for the Patriot air defence system, Poland's defence minister said on Monday.
Poland is ramping up its defence capabilities, positioning itself as a key player on NATO's eastern flank in the face of an assertive Russia and also of a U.S. administration under Donald Trump that has sharply criticised Europe over security matters.
"The safety of Polish skies has no price," Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz told a news briefing on Monday, adding that missile defence and cooperation with the United States are a priority. …
