“USS Gravely’s deployment will contribute to the U.S. Northern Command southern border mission as part of the DOD’s coordinated effort in response to the Presidential Executive Order. Gravely’s sea-going capacity improves our ability to protect the United States’ territorial integrity, sovereignty, and security,” Gen. Gregory Guillot, Commander, USNORTHCOM, stated.
USNORTHCOM explained that Gravely’s mission will be “restoring territorial integrity at the U.S. southern border and reinforces the nation’s commitment to border security by enhancing maritime efforts and supporting interagency collaboration,” adding, “The ship’s deployment highlights the Department of Defense and Navy’s dedication to national security priorities, contributing to a coordinated and robust response to combating maritime related terrorism, weapons proliferation, transnational crime, piracy, environmental destruction, and illegal seaborne immigration.”

The party is full of open-border globalists who have flooded the nation with millions of unvetted migrants, including thousands of terrorists, while offering no solutions to the ongoing migrant crisis that has overwhelmed local, state, and federal governments. That’s because Democrats see illegals as future voters and weaponized their rogue federal judges to obstruct President Trump’s efforts to restore national security by blocking deportations.
