FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—As President Donald Trump prepares to campaign for GOP candidates in Iowa, the White House is highlighting the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens who have been removed from the streets under his administration.
Trump’s Department of Homeland Security arrested illegal immigrants convicted of crimes including child prostitution, assault of a minor, and domestic abuse. Two of the aliens were previously arrested but later released into the country under the Biden administration, the White House claimed.
In his rally in Sioux City Thursday night, Trump will highlight the administration’s record on border security and contrast it with liberal policies in Europe which he says have led to riots and chaos. He is traveling to Iowa to support GOP Senate candidate, Rep. Ashley Hinson, and GOP gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn.
“The riots in France are a direct result of their leader’s open border policies. This is what will happen in America if radical Democrats have their way,” White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told the Daily Signal. “They are the party of open borders, amnesty, lawlessness, and chaos while President Trump and Republicans are the party of commonsense and law and order.”
Though Trump won Iowa by 13 points in 2024, Hinson is running only 0.4 percentage points ahead of her Democrat opponent, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average. Lahn’s opponent, Rob Sand, leads by 6.7 points.
