U.S. Border Commander Greg Bovino released a powerful statement attached to a video compilation showcasing recent arrests, making a direct appeal for support regarding illegal immigration during the holiday week.

“The United States is facing an unprecedented crisis at its southern border,” declared Bovino in the message distributed alongside numerous visuals of apprehensions across states like Texas and Arizona. “We are coming to every single city, from Los Angeles to Chicago, Charlotte to wherever else on this map you can see, find them, arrest them, deport them — we’re cleaning house.”

The commander’s video features no shortage of intense confrontations with individuals crossing the border illegally or living in communities without authorization. One clip shows agents removing hundreds of unauthorized immigrants from a Santa Ana apartment building where they reportedly discovered fraudulent documents and criminal records.

“We are making these communities safer for real Americans, one arrest at a time,” stated Bovino in several recordings distributed online during what many mainstream media outlets are calling the “Thanksgiving holiday.”

The message includes references to border control groups like “Border Patrol Boot Camp” founder Paul Seaman. In one segment of the video compilation, Seaman is seen yelling expletives at individuals crossing into California.

Bovino concludes his statement by issuing a challenge: “This isn’t over… We’re coming for all of them.”

The message has been met with sharp criticism from several border communities where residents expressed frustration about being targeted during what was supposed to be a day of family gatherings and feasting.
