Trump's stunning attack on Biden's 'deception and betrayal' in new proclamation
Donald Trump launched a scathing attack against Joe Biden as he issued a proclamation honoring the U.S. Border Patrol's 101st anniversary.
Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on former President Joe Biden as he issued a lengthy proclamation declaring May 28, 2025, "a day in celebration of the 101st Anniversary of the United States Border Patrol."
Trump highlighted what he referred to as the "deception and betrayal" of the Biden administration with relation to illegal border crossings, accusing the former president of "importing an army of unvetted illegal aliens, including violent criminals, thugs, gang members, and terrorists from the darkest and most dangerous parts of the world."
"Their arrival over the last 4 years ushered in record-shattering levels of immigrants illegally coming into our country while at the same time depleting resources and draining the morale of our incredible USBP agents," Trump ranted in the proclamation.

He claimed the "tide turned on Jan. 20, 2025," when he took office, however. "One of my first actions as President was declaring a National Emergency at the southern border of the United States, which provided additional authority to the Department of Defense to support the Federal Government’s response to the crisis," he wrote.
"I also designated cartels and other transnational organizations, such as Tren de Aragua and MS-13, as foreign terrorist organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists in order to end their campaign of violence and bloodshed on our homeland," he added.
He also touted his order to resume construction on the infamous border wall and the reinstatement of the "Remain in Mexico" policy. He also claims to have stopped the practice of catch-and-release, ended asylum for illegal border crossers and deployed thousands of American soldiers to the border.
He also launched one of the largest deportation operations in American history. Many of his immigration policies have led to a humanitarian crisis at the border or fed into the crisis at the El Salvadoran megaprison, where he sent hundreds of migrants over the past few months.
"Within my first 100 days in office, daily border encounters dropped 95 percent, and migrant crossings declined by an astounding 99.99 percent. In March, our Nation saw the lowest monthly number of border encounters in recorded history — and fentanyl traffic fell by 54 percent compared to March of the previous year," Trump claimed.
"Also in my first 100 days, my Administration arrested more than 150,000 and deported more than 135,000 illegal aliens," he added. "Under my leadership, our USBP agents are not only receiving the resources they need to do their job but also the respect they have earned and deserve — and our work is only just beginning."
The rest of the president's message lauded the history and mission of the USBP. "For 101 years, members of the United States Border Patrol (USBP) have courageously served as guardians of our sovereignty and protectors of our homeland against invasion, aggression, and violence," the president began the proclamation.
"Every day, Border Patrol agents selflessly risk their lives to repel the flow of deadly drugs, weapons, criminals, and terrorists — many of whom come to our shores from jails, prisons, and mental institutions in far-flung countries across the globe," he continued.
Then came Trump's reasoning for issuing the proclamation — to honor the fallen border patrol agents who died doing their jobs and to pay tribute to the ones risking their lives every day.
"In their memory, and in honor of their beloved family members, we pledge to empower the USBP to safeguard the American homeland today, tomorrow, and beyond," Trump wrote before issuing the proclamation itself.
"NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 28, 2025, as a day in celebration of the 101st Anniversary of the United States Border Patrol," he wrote.
The proclamation was signed on Tuesday and was slated to be in effect on Wednesday.
