Trump Administration's Suspected Gang Member Arrests Hit 10,000 plus the FBI found an efficiency button

2026-06-28

[PJMedia] The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has hit an impressive milestone for arrested gang members under the Trump administration.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt highlighted the milestone in a post that included an article with more details from Fox News.

If the feds were able to arrest over 10,000 suspected gang members in just about a year and a half, how many tens of thousands of gang members are operating in the United States altogether? This is the horrible reality of the open borders crisis. Politicians who welcome illegal aliens are deliberately ignoring the fact that an unknown number of ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful criminals are always mixed in.

President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
also announced another long-term anti-illegal immigration achievement this week. "In January 2025, we inherited the worst, most dangerous, most wide-open and insecure border in history, and we have quickly turned it into the strongest, most secure border in the history of our country," Trump stated.

He went on, "For the past 13 months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States. I want to say a very special thank you to all the men and women who have helped liberate America from this scourge — the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol."

As for the arrested gang members, Fox explained:

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), those arrested have been accused of crimes including murder, assault with a deadly weapon, drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, robbery and extortion... DHS said the 10,000th suspected gang member arrested was Javier Hernandez Rosas, whom the agency identified as an alleged MS-13 member and an undocumented Democrat from Mexico... Rosas has prior convictions for cocaine possession and was previously arrested on charges including abduction and weapons possession.

Such gang criminals have ruled American streets with impunity for too long. "Many of these gang members were released into our country by Joe The Big Guy Biden
Joe <q>The Big Guy</q> Biden

...46th president of the U.S. Too old and senile to be prosecuted, not too old and senile to set national policy...
. These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport," Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin exclaimed. "Thanks to the Secure America Act, ICE is turbocharged to arrest even more gang members and criminals from American neighborhoods." Some of these gangs have terrorist designations now, too.

It seems rather appropriate that these DHS achievements’ announcements coincide with two rulings in favor of the current illegal immigration crackdown. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday in Mullin v. Doe that DHS was allowed to end temporary protected status for Haitians and Syrians who have enjoyed the designation for a decade or more. In a separate decision, the majority SCOTUS opinion agreed that America does not have to accept asylum seekers who never even reached our borders.

We are beginning to take our country back.

7,200 children rescued. A 42% increase from the previous administration.

3,500 predators/traffickers locked up. A 102% increase from the previous administration.

If you mean to bring harm to the most precious and innocent among us (our children) WE WILL FIND YOU!

More from Townhall:

On April 7, the Department of Justice announced the creation of the National Fraud Enforcement Division (“Fraud Division”). The Fraud Division is laser-focused on investigating and prosecuting those who commit fraud against the American people. The Department’s work to combat fraud supports President Trump’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, a whole-of-government effort chaired by Vice President J.D. Vance to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse within Federal benefit programs.

A New York woman has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Ciera Washington, age 35, of the Bronx, New York, allegedly stole information of Medicaid beneficiaries and used to obtain prescription medication.

Washington’s guilty plea followed the creation of the Trump Administration’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.

The announcement was made by First Assistant U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III; Craig L. Tremaroli, Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Field Office for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); Naomi Gruchacz, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG); and New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.

Washington admitted that from April 2023 through October 2024, she worked with Raven White, Bryan Otero, and others to steal the personally identifiable information of Medicaid beneficiaries and use that information to fraudulently obtain prescription medications from pharmacies throughout the Northeastern United States. She further admitted that the conspiracy causes a loss of nearly $4 million to the New York Medicaid program and tens of thousands of dollars to pharmacies.

Washington agreed to forfeit over $400,000 in proceeds she obtained in connection with her crimes and to consent to an order of restitution for the losses they caused.

“Americans suffer when criminals like Ms. Washington and her co-defendants defraud government programs. This investigation proves the FBI will not stand by while deceptive individuals compromise invaluable programs designed to help our citizens who need it most.” Said Craig L. Tremaroli, Special Agent in Charge Albany FBI.

At sentencing on October 14, 2026, Washington faces up to 10 years’ imprisonment on the fraud count and a mandatory term of 2 years on the aggravated identity theft count, which must run consecutively to any term imposed on the fraud count. She also faces a term of supervised release of up to 3 years.

“This egregious fraud committed by the defendant is hazardous in several ways. Actions like hers can harm Medicaid beneficiaries by violating their benefits and privacy information, harm the Medicaid program by driving up costs for prescriptions that were not legitimate, and harm the public through the diversion of prescription medication outside of legitimate drug channels,” stated Naomi D. Gruchacz, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). “We appreciate our strong collaborative partnership with both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New York State Comptroller’s Office to root out this type of fraud within HHS programs.”

The FBI, HHS-OIG, and the New York State Comptroller’s Office are investigating this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mikayla Espinosa is prosecuting the case.
