> Kamala should immediately cancel her News Conference because it was just revealed that 13,000 convicted murderers entered our Country during her three and a half year period as Border Czar - Also currently in our Country because of her are 15,811 migrants convicted of rape and sexual assault. “We handed this Administration the Most Secure Border of our Lifetime!” Tom Homan, Former Ice Director.

## What the media says

**Video transcript** (5:14), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> >> All right now let's bring in the former acting ice director Ron Vitello and run this really is extraordinary information I mean you've got you've got on this letter you've got 2 full pages of offenses that more than 425,000 illegal immigrants who are allowed in this country have committed highlighted by the fact that there are 13,099 who have criminal convictions for murder. Another 1845 who have pending charges against them. 15,811 who have criminal convictions for rape or other sexual assault and an additional 4,250 who have pending charges where did the system break down. >> Well thanks for inviting me yeah, this is a symptom of the chaos that we've seen at our border during the presidency of Joe Biden and the vice presidency of Kamala Harris when they took over the illegal migration across the southwest border was at 50 year lows and now it's at unprecedented numbers for the last 3 plus years and the 9 to 10 docket which is the population that we're talking about here within within the non-detain doc that's 8 million people so even if 1% of that 8 million were a threat to public safety and obviously the numbers that you're showing those those people are putting us all at risk every city every town in the United States is at risk because we know that the that the system was overwhelmed for many many years and now a non-detain docket of 8 million people mean there are people walking among us in almost every single city and town in the United States who were not invited here the jump the wall and came into the United States illegally and applying their trade as a cartel member as a gangster of some other kind of someone who's abusing children or trafficking other human beings and that's what happens when sanctuary cities conflate with a chaotic border. We are all at risk. >> You know Ron as we learn this breaking news, I'm sure there's people at home going this is an emergency where is the DHS secretary to speak to these numbers to tell us what we're doing about it right and it's one thing to say okay, well, you know candidate Trump is pitching to fix the problem. Perhaps Kamala Harris lays out to her supporters the way she plans to fix the problem at the border. But these people are already here. >> That's right and this secretary has already stated that when they make these encounters at the border 85% of people are being released and he's greatly restricted ice's ability to go find these people and I will just tell you from experience that when people are set on a notice to appear and they can go to immigration court when they get a notice from the government which went maybe years and years from now many of them will not come because they know they don't have you know a legal right to immigrate into the United States look this is a society that that values the contributions of legal migrants across the country. But this chaos and this these kinds of staggering numbers scare people rightly so why are we going to continue to do this to ourselves when there are alternatives we can have safer streets safer communities and a border that is secure that allows people you know through the legal channels to come into the United States so we can bet them we can make sure they're not a public threat to public safety and if and when they are they are held to account and removed after they serve their state sentence or whatever the crimes they commit in our communities that's what needs to happen we need to have an immigration system that has integrity for both on the legal side and when people fall afoul of the law as illegal migrants or migrants that are here that commit crimes they need to be removed and they need to be removed expeditiously and you can see these numbers here, I mean I said only had you know a couple of 1000 people who are assigned to that work and so this is a monumental task that will need to be corrected because we cannot continue to have this chaos at the border and put our cities and towns at risk to the degree that we are. >> Hey Ron forgive me if I'm not really up on the law I came into this country as a legal immigrant 30. 2 years ago. And seem to be at the time that something like a murder conviction would make somebody ineligible to immigrate to this country either legally or illegally I mean I got my getting that wrong. >> That's correct if you can if you get convicted of murder for its is in your example, you're subject to deportation and immigration officer finds you and takes you into custody that you'll you'll have a hearing with the judge so so so so then so then why are these people still in the country. Well most of those folks that are on the non detained docket are here illegally they've been addressed at the border have been released with a notice to appear. >> Why are they still here. >> Because you have the conflagration of sanctuary cities and an immigration system that it doesn't have the kind of resources or the will frankly under this administration to to take this problem in hand and go after the worst of the worst. >> Unbelievable, I mean if I think bill religion said it this is a jaw dropper people have had enough and we saw that we see that showing up in the polling and this is this is a lot more to take in Ron thank you very much for joining us and I know

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-27T23:57:19.987Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Summary

On September 27, 2024, Trump executed a coordinated five-post immigration-fear blitz timed to preempt Harris's border appearance. This RT — a minimal self-amplification of the "13,000 murder convictions" statistic — represents the apex brevity of that campaign. Likely aide-facilitated at 2:44 PM EDT, it functions as a reach-maximizer within a deliberate media strategy. Psychologically, the day's pattern reflects a grandiose narcissistic state, with supply-seeking and preemptive attack as co-drivers, and dominant splitting and projection as defenses. The core rhetorical move — statistical anchoring of maximally alarming crime categories — provides pseudo-objective cover for limbic fear stimulation. The half-true statistical claim strips essential context (jurisdiction variability, detention rates, multi-year timeframe) to produce maximum alarm. Cumulatively, the day's posts constitute a sustained dehumanization cycle meeting early-stage stochastic terrorism pattern criteria (target identification + grievance articulation + implied stakes) without explicit incitement. No cognitive deviation from baseline detectable in this brief post. Danger level: elevated.

## Overview

This post is a self-repost (RT) of Trump's own earlier Truth Social content (ts_113210828555097495), distilling the day's immigration-fear campaign into a single ALL-CAPS headline: *"13,000 CROSSED THE BORDER WITH MURDER CONVICTIONS."* An attached video suggests coordinated media strategy. The post arrives on a day when Kamala Harris was scheduled to visit the southern border — framing it as a preemptive narrative strike.

---

## 1. Authorship Attribution

**Local time:** UTC 18:44 → **2:44 PM EDT** (Trump was in New York for the Zelenskyy meeting at Trump Tower, with a Walker, Michigan rally also scheduled).

**Assessment: Likely aide-facilitated (confidence: low)**

- Business hours posting (2:44 PM EDT) is most consistent with Scavino/staff operation.
- The mechanical self-repost with attached video implies a coordinated media amplification workflow rather than impulsive personal posting.
- However, ALL CAPS is a signature authentic Trump stylistic marker.
- Post is too brief for definitive stylometric determination.

**Most probable scenario:** Staff-directed repost amplifying Trump's preferred framing before Harris's border appearance, possibly at Trump's direction.

---

## 2. Psychological State & Triggers

**Narcissistic state:** Grandiose — confident, prosecutorial, performatively righteous rather than wounded or vulnerable.

**Primary trigger:** Preemptive attack — Harris's announced border visit threatened to partially neutralize Trump's signature issue. The five-post immigration blitz on this day is designed to control the interpretive frame before Harris can establish her own.

**Secondary trigger:** Supply-seeking — base energization and validation from "I told you so" Cassandra positioning ("I've been saying this from the beginning").

The day's posts collectively construct a narrative in which Trump is the sole truth-teller who recognized and warned about a manufactured border catastrophe. This identity claim — *the one who knew* — provides ongoing narcissistic supply independent of outcome. The Zelenskyy meeting and global events context (Nasrallah assassination, Lebanon escalation) are entirely absent from Trump's posting on this day, reinforcing tunnel-vision focus on electoral campaign themes.

---

## 3. Defense Mechanisms

**Splitting (immature):** The binary is absolute — Americans as innocent victims vs. non-detained, non-citizen convicted criminals. No nuance, rehabilitation, due process, or contextual complexity is permitted. Harris/Biden occupy the all-bad pole; Trump's border era occupies the all-good pole.

**Projection (immature):** Structural, bipartisan immigration policy failures are projected onto Harris as singular, deliberate malevolence ("UNSECURED IT ON PURPOSE," per companion post). This externalizes any shared institutional responsibility.

**Rationalization (neurotic):** The statistical framing provides pseudo-objective, pseudo-scientific cover for maximally alarming emotional content. Numbers function as evidence of "just describing facts" while selecting the most viscerally charged categories (murder convictions over, say, traffic violations).

---

## 4. Rhetorical Techniques

**ALL CAPS:** Bypasses deliberative cognition, mimics alarm/urgency, forces emotional engagement before rational evaluation.

**Statistical anchoring with false precision:** "13,000" conveys scientific exactitude. Listeners anchor to this number without interrogating its construction, timeframe, or jurisdiction.

**Category selection:** From multiple available crime statistics (drug offenses, assault, rape, fraud), *murder convictions* is specifically selected for maximum visceral impact and dehumanization efficiency.

**RAND Firehose pattern:** This is the fifth immigration post of the day. Volume, repetition, and consistency produce overwhelming impression of crisis independent of any single claim's veracity. Cognitive overload prevents systematic fact-checking.

**Authority laundering:** Companion posts embed Tom Homan's testimonials to provide institutional credibility for the statistical claims, then this RT amplifies the conclusion stripped of the sourcing.

**Preemptive framing:** By establishing "13,000 murder convictions" as the dominant immigration narrative before Harris reaches the border, any Harris messaging must operate within Trump's established frame.

---

## 5. Fact Verification

**Claim:** "13,000 crossed the border with murder convictions"

**Verdict: HALF-TRUE**

There is a government data basis (ICE/DHS encounter records) for a large number of migrants with prior criminal records including homicide convictions. However, the framing is systematically misleading:
- Data spans the entire Biden administration period (years, not a discrete event)
- "Convicted of murder" conflates foreign jurisdictions with varying legal standards and due process protections
- The presentation implies 13,000 convicted murderers are currently at large in the U.S. — the data does not support this (many were detained, deported, or have served their sentences long ago)
- Aggregates individuals who may have been convicted decades prior with no subsequent criminal conduct

The raw numbers have a statistical basis; the alarm framing does not accurately represent the underlying data.

---

## 6. Personality Framework (McAdams & Pals, 2006)

**Level 1 — Traits:** Dominant facets are assertiveness (E), angry hostility and impulsiveness (N), and extremely low agreeableness. The post is pure prosecutorial declaration with zero tender-mindedness or trust.

**Level 2 — Motives:** Agency (power, status, control) at near-maximum. Communion near zero. The post is entirely instrumental — about establishing dominance over the immigration narrative, not about connection.

**Level 3 — Narrative Identity:**
- *Protagonist role:* Cassandra/Vindicated Truth-Teller — "I've been saying this from the beginning"
- *Narrative sequence:* Contamination — a border secured by Trump's competence deliberately destroyed by Harris/Biden
- *Identity claim:* "Nobody who has allowed this to happen is fit to be President" = I am fit because I would not allow this
- *Contrasting Other:* Kamala Harris as defined by failure, complicity, and unfitness

---

## 7. Danger Assessment

**Level: ELEVATED**

This single post, viewed in isolation, does not reach "high" danger threshold. However, the day's cumulative five-post pattern constitutes a sustained dehumanization cycle that warrants elevated concern:

- **Target identification:** Specific population (migrants with criminal records) repeatedly named as present danger
- **Grievance articulation:** Explicit culpability assigned to named individual (Harris) for deliberate inaction
- **Statistical magnitude:** Scale of numbers ("13,000," "15,811") implies imminent, pervasive threat requiring response
- **Emotional preparation:** Fear, disgust, and righteous anger are systematically cultivated without explicit call to action

This structure — target + grievance + magnitude + emotional preparation — constitutes the preparatory phase of stochastic terrorism architecture. No explicit incitement present; this holds the assessment below "high."

---

## 8. Longitudinal Notes

No marked deviation from baseline Trump immigration rhetoric. The ALL CAPS amplification, ICE Director testimonial structure, and Harris-blame framing are well-worn tools. Volume (five posts, one day) is notable for campaign-season intensification but not anomalous. Cognitive status is indeterminate from this brief post alone. Consistent with grandiose narcissistic baseline; no shift toward vulnerable state detectable.

## Fact Verification

| Claim | Verdict | Evidence |
|-------|---------|----------|
| "13,000 people with murder convictions crossed the border during Harris/Biden administration" | **Half True** | Government data basis exists (ICE/DHS encounter records) for large numbers of migrants with prior criminal records including homicide convictions. However, framing is maximally misleading: data covers all encounters across multiple years; 'convicted of murder' conflates foreign jurisdictions with varying legal standards; presentation implies 13,000 convicted murderers are currently at large in the U.S., which the data does not support (many detained, deported, or convicted decades prior); category aggregates individuals who may have been law-abiding for years since conviction. |

## Fact Checks (1)

_The model's verdicts from 2026-03-27._

> 13,000 people with murder convictions crossed the border during Harris/Biden administration

**HALF TRUE**

Government data basis exists (ICE/DHS encounter records) for large numbers of migrants with prior criminal records including homicide convictions. However, framing is maximally misleading: data covers all encounters across multiple years; 'convicted of murder' conflates foreign jurisdictions with varying legal standards; presentation implies 13,000 convicted murderers are currently at large in the U.S., which the data does not support (many detained, deported, or convicted decades prior); category aggregates individuals who may have been law-abiding for years since conviction.

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**Zelenskyy Meeting Eclipsed by Coordinated Border-Crime Blitz Targeting Harris**

Trump spent the day in New York, opening with a high-profile meeting with Ukraine's Zelenskyy before pivoting hard to immigration attacks. The bulk of the day was dominated by a repetitive, coordinated assault on Kamala Harris over border security, built around a misleading "13,000 convicted murderers" statistic repeated across nearly every post. A brief flash of anger at Google — threatening prosecution if elected — was the day's most volatile moment. He closed with a Michigan rally link and continued hammering the border theme into the evening, showing disciplined message control but an unmistakable fixation.
