President Donald J.
Trump welcomed home three American returnees from North Korea.
“They are really three incredible people,” the President
said from Joint Base Andrews. “And the fact that we were able
to get them out so soon was really a tribute to a lot of
things, including a certain process that's taking place right
now.”
In another major step,
President Trump announced minutes ago that he will meet with
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12.
A victory
for the world
At 2:26 a.m. ET,
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived at Joint Base Andrews,
bringing home three Americans who had been held in North Korea.
Upon initial examination, the three appeared to be in good
physical condition and were able to walk on the plane without
assistance. President Trump was there to greet them.
“This is a
proud and memorable moment for America,” Vice
President Mike Pence said in a statement. “Our Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo did a remarkable job overseeing the release
of Kim Dong Chul, Tony Kim, and Kim Hak Song – and to them I
say: safe travels and welcome home.”

What you
need to know about the surge in border crossings
Recently, there
has been a surge in illegal border crossings. From
April 2017 to April 2018, the number of illegal border
crossings more than tripled. April 2018 was also the second
month in a row that saw more than 37,000 individuals
apprehended after entering the country illegally along our
Southwest border.
Judicial rulings
by activist courts make it virtually impossible to
remove even dangerous criminals. The result of these loopholes
is that individuals can illegally enter the United States, make
fraudulent asylum claims, and expect to be released into U.S.
society while never appearing in court. This breakdown has
contributed to a deportation backlog of more than 1 million
cases.
Congress must
take real action to secure our border and close the
loopholes in our immigration system. In January, President
Trump released an
immigration framework that, if enacted into law, would have
addressed many of these problems and secured our porous border.

CIA nominee
Gina Haspel gains momentum
President
Trump’s nominee for CIA Director appeared before the
Senate Intelligence Committee yesterday. Gina Haspel, a 33-year
public servant at the Agency, spoke at length about her role in
counterterrorism efforts following the September 11 attacks on
America.
A question from
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) summed up the hearing well:
“If someone like you, with your history, with your record of
service and sacrifice and excellence . . . cannot be confirmed
to head this agency, then who can?" The intelligence
community agrees. A letter to lawmakers from 72 former CIA
officers calls Haspel “the image of what we want a peer and
leader to be.”
President
Trump’s nominee to lead the CIA continues to earn widespread
support.
