The image reads:
Stronger Border, Safer Streets 12,100 Gang Members Arrested — including more than 1,500 Tren de Aragua affiliates and nearly 2,000 MS-13 affiliates, along with more than 2,200 known or suspected terrorists. Located 157,000 unaccompanied alien children lost under the Biden Administration — often to sex trafficking, forced labor, and other atrocities. Fentanyl trafficking at the southern border collapsed by 56%, and fentanyl-linked deaths plunged 22% in a single year. Drug overdoses have fallen by more than 40% from the Biden-era peak, driving America recording its lowest overall death rate ever in 2025.
