Speaker says TPS extension was rolled back, grant funding halted and National Guard deputized to enforce immigration rules

Speaker 1 said in remarks captured in the transcript that an 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status put in place by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was rolled back and that grant funding to nongovernmental organizations allegedly facilitating illegal immigration has been halted.

The speaker also said National Guard members are "fully deputized" and described plans involving Treasury and Internal Revenue Service personnel, saying, "IRS agents could soon be going on immigration rates. Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, asking the Treasury Department to deputize their agents." The transcript later records the speaker saying, "If you come to our country and you break our laws, we will hunt you down. Criminals are not welcome in The United States." Those statements are presented here as the speaker's claims and quotations; the transcript did not provide accompanying documents or formal orders in the record.

The matter cited as "temporary protective status" in the remarks is Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a humanitarian designation administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The speaker said, "Secretary Mayorkas put in place an 18 month extension of the temporary protective status. I rolled that back." The transcript attributes the rollback to the speaker; no supporting text of a DHS notice or effective date appears in the transcript.

The speaker also stated a policy change affecting grant funding: "Today, we are announcing that we have stopped all grant funding that's being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country." The transcript does not specify which grants, which federal or state programs were affected, or which offices issued orders or guidance to implement that halt.

On the subject of law enforcement roles, the speaker said National Guard members were "fully deputized" and could "go out there and get the bad guys and, make sure that they're prosecuting them." The transcript does not include legal citations or documents showing deputization authority, nor does it identify which state's National Guard or which prosecutors would receive cases.

The transcript includes a claim that the Treasury Department was asked to deputize IRS agents to take part in immigration enforcement and a broader assertion that overall immigration numbers had fallen: "It's been incredible to see the numbers trickle down almost to 0." The record in the transcript does not include corroborating data, directives from the Treasury or IRS, or dates for those claims.

The speaker used forceful language in the remarks: "If you are considering entering America illegally, don't even think about it," and later, "If you come to our country and you break our laws, we will hunt you down." Those are reported here as direct quotations from the speaker in the transcript.

The transcript does not show any formal vote, administrative order, or supporting documentation attached to these declarations. Where the speaker attributes actions to specific officials or agencies, the transcript records the attribution but does not include supporting materials in the record provided.

Ending: The transcript records these statements as assertions by a single speaker. The record does not contain agency notices, regulatory citations, or formal documents that would confirm the legal or operational steps the speaker described (for example, published DHS notices on TPS, written directives to the National Guard, or memoranda from the Treasury or IRS).
