President Donald Trump made a rare visit to the Department of Justice, delivering a fiery speech about restoring law and order. He vowed to end the “weaponization” of justice, calling the agency the “Department of Injustice” under past leaders. Trump praised Attorney General Pam Bondi for cleaning house by firing prosecutors who targeted him and his supporters.
Trump slammed the Biden-era DOJ for pursuing “witch hunts” against conservatives. He pointed to the sudden dismissal of corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams as proof of crooked deals in the past. Dozens of prosecutors involved in the January 6 investigations were ousted under Bondi’s leadership.
Families who lost loved ones to illegal immigrant crimes stood beside Trump during the event. He blamed open borders for flooding communities with drugs like Chinese fentanyl. The president promised to deport violent criminals and fix the immigration system he claims Democrats destroyed.
The DOJ visit marked Trump’s first major speech since winning the 2024 election. Critics say Bondi has turned the agency into a political tool, but Trump supporters cheer her loyalty. Bondi recently ordered DOJ lawyers to aggressively defend presidential powers, warning those who refuse will be fired.
Trump compared his DOJ overhaul to draining a swamp. He accused Obama and Biden appointees of sabotaging his agenda during his first term. The crowd cheered when Trump mentioned dropping charges against him, calling it a victory for democracy.
The speech focused on stricter policing and backing law enforcement. Trump promised to remove “weak” prosecutors who let violent offenders roam free. He urged Congress to pass new laws targeting gang violence and drug traffickers.
Supporters say Trump’s tough approach will make streets safer. They blame liberal policies for rising crime in cities like Chicago and San Francisco. Opponents argue the DOJ is now ignoring crimes by Trump allies while targeting his enemies.
The event ended with chants of “Four more years!” as Trump left the stage. Many view this speech as the start of a major push to cement his “America First” policies before the 2026 midterms. Bondi pledged the DOJ will “always stand with President Trump” against the radical left.
