In his message, he also highlighted what he called historic achievements during his administration, including greater border security, the departure of three million illegal immigrants from the country, the location of 145,000 minors, and improvements in the response of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to disasters. The official assured that these actions also allowed to save about 13 billion dollars to taxpayers and strengthen the work of the United States Coast Guard. The publication came shortly after reports of changes in the leadership of the United States Department of Homeland Security became known.
