Public commenter credits President Trump, "Secretary Rubio" with border drop and cites $2 trillion in Gulf investments

An unnamed public commenter said the U.S. Southwest border "is more secure than ever" and that "illegal crossings at our Southwest border have dropped by 95% since 02/2024," crediting President Trump and what the speaker called "Secretary Rubio" for agreements with Guatemala, Panama and El Salvador.

The commenter tied the border claims to broader foreign‑policy actions, saying the official they named also "signed a declaration of principles between the Democratic Republic Of Congo and Rwanda, ... launching a pathway to stability in the region," and said the official was "actively working with Israel, Arab partners, and the European Union to shape post war governance in Gaza." The speaker added that two investment commitments from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia totaled "2,000,000,000,000 in investments," which the commenter presented as linked to the same diplomatic work.

The statements came during a single public comment recorded in the meeting transcript. The speaker framed these items as accomplishments, saying, "This is due to president Trump's leadership and secretary Rubio's historic action to secure agreements with Guatemala, Panama, and El Salvador to intercept and deport illegal aliens who enter their territories." The transcript uses the phrase "illegal aliens"; the article attributes that wording directly to the commenter.

The commenter did not provide documentation during the remark and the claims in the transcript—about a 95% decline since February 2024, a declaration of principles between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, or $2 trillion in Gulf investment commitments—are presented here as the speaker's assertions and were not verified in the meeting record.

Questions of border statistics, the legal basis or text of the referenced Central American agreements, the alleged declaration between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, and the details of the cited Gulf investment commitments (timing, scope, signatories and binding terms) were not supplied in the comment and were not discussed further in the transcript. The meeting record does not show any formal action, vote, or staff assignment tied to these remarks.

Because the speaker was not identified by name or official affiliation in the transcript, this article uses a generic label for attribution. The speaker's claims are reported here as stated during the public comment and are subject to independent verification.
