Biden left 16,320 illegal aliens with sexual assault convictions roaming free across America.
Trump's Border Patrol agents just started cleaning up the mess.
In Tampa alone, they just hit a number that should make every parent in this country stand up and take notice.
The 1,000th Arrest That Changes Everything
On April 17, agents from the Border Patrol's Tampa Station – working alongside the Florida Department of Probation and Parole – arrested Troy Antonio Baldeo, a 60-year-old Trinidad and Tobago national convicted of five felony child sex offenses.
He wasn't sneaking across the southern border.
Baldeo had been living in America for years – released from a Florida prison in December 2025 after a Hillsborough County conviction, relocated to Baltimore, and then drifted back down to Florida where agents caught up with him.

His arrest marked Tampa Station's 1,000th criminal alien apprehension in just four months of fiscal year 2026.
Acting Chief Patrol Agent Samuel B. Briggs II, Miami Border Patrol Sector, put it plainly: "Border Patrol agents remain committed to making our communities safer by apprehending and removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens."
That's 1,000 people – every single one of them a convicted sex offender or serious criminal – who are no longer living in your neighborhoods.
What Biden Left Behind
ICE reported 16,320 illegal aliens convicted of sexual assault living in the United States as of late 2024.
Not hiding in another country.
Living here.
Senator Joni Ernst introduced the BE GONE Act specifically because of that number – legislation to deport sexual offenders and block new ones from entering.
The response from Democrats was revealing.
When Rep. Nancy Mace brought the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act to the House floor in September 2024, 158 House Democrats voted against it.
Not a close call.
Not a procedural fight.

Mace, herself a rape survivor, was direct about what that vote meant: the Democrats voting no "care more about illegal aliens than our women and children."
What Trump's Tampa Station Is Actually Doing
The Tampa Station opened in 1925 to fight Cuban smuggling rings.
Today it covers 12 counties in central and western Florida – 190 miles long, 125 miles wide – the only Border Patrol station on Florida's west coast.
The arrests aren't just numbers.
Among the 1,000 caught in four months: a Micronesian national convicted of transmitting harmful material to a minor, a confirmed Sureños 13 gang member from Mexico, and a Venezuelan national convicted of grand theft and three counts of larceny.
The broader Miami Sector tells the same story at scale – more than 6,600 criminal aliens apprehended through April 30, already past the full-year total of 6,475 from fiscal year 2025.
They're not slowing down.
They're ahead of pace.
The Baldeo Case Tells You Everything About Biden's Four Years
Baldeo spent a decade cycling through the American justice system with nothing to show for it but a longer rap sheet.
Caught fleeing at JFK in December 2015 – boarding a flight to Trinidad to escape prosecution. Extradited to Hillsborough County.

Convicted on five felony child sex charges in July 2016. Visa expired that same year.
Released from prison December 2025. Never deported. Settled in Baltimore. Drifted to Florida.
Under Biden, a five-time convicted child sex felon with an expired visa crossed two state lines without consequence.
That's not an accident.
That's the result of policies that 158 Democrats voted to preserve just fourteen months before Trump took office.
Trump gave Border Patrol the authority and the mission.
The Tampa Station responded by running ahead of last year's pace before the fiscal year is even half over.
One thousand predators off the streets in four months.
Democrats had four years and 158 votes to tell you exactly where their priorities were.
Trump's agents are spending 2026 cleaning up every last one of them.
