But Biden didn\u2019t just allow this invasion, he abetted it at every turn. From flying migrants into the country to housing them to providing them free healthcare, Biden rolled out the red carpet for these migrants\u2014all on the taxpayer dime.\n\nMake no mistake: Members of cartels like Tren de Aragua are terrorists. I watched as drug cartels almost destroyed my home country of Colombia. If given the chance, these cartels will do the same to America. President Donald Trump not only has the right but the obligation to do everything in his power to stop these cartels and protect the homeland.\n\nThat\u2019s why it\u2019s so sickening to see activist judges like Judge James Boasberg attempt to thwart the will of the American people and attempt to halt President Trump\u2019s deportation of these cartel thugs.\n\n[\u2026]\n\nBut if rogue district court judges can prevent our commander-in-chief from protecting the American homeland from a terrorist invasion, we don\u2019t live in a democracy anymore.\n\n[\u2026]\n\nPresident Trump must use the Article II constitutional authority vested in him as President and each and every relevant law and regulation to secure our borders and interior. And that starts with removing violent criminal illegal aliens from the homeland. Congress should welcome any request from the president to support him in his mission to stop this invasion of our country.\n\nThe United States of America is the greatest country in the world. Even in the midst of unelected leftist judges\u2019 attempts to stop his every move, I applaud President Trump for working tirelessly to mitigate the damage done by the Biden-Harris administration.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T00:15:27Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.moreno.senate.gov/press-releases/moreno-op-ed-if-judges-can-stymie-the-will-of-the-people-we-dont-have-a-democracy-anymore"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.633652089163661, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
