We\u2019re not going to allow that to happen. We know where these gangs operate, what streets they control. We even know their names. The police officers know their names, the problem is they\u2019re not allowed to do anything about it and they want to, we need to get in there immediately,\u00a0go into every drug den, every stash hash, every hideaway and round up the dealers and killers and the gang members and charge them with any and every crime,\u201d he continued, noting the penalty for drug dealers should be \u201cvery, very severe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at countries throughout the world, the ones that don\u2019t have a drug problem are those that institute a very quick trial, death penalty sentence for drug dealers,\u201d Trump said. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/07\/21\/alejandro-mayorkas-border-secure-illegal-immigration-drug-surge-cartels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Mayorkas Says The Border Is Fine Despite Blatant Chaos)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt sounds horrible, doesn\u2019t it, but you know what that\u2019s the ones that don\u2019t have any problem. It doesn\u2019t take 15 years in court. It goes quickly and you absolutely, you execute a drug dealer and you\u2019ll save 500 lives, because they kill, on average, 500 people, it\u2019s terrible to say, but you take a look at every country in this world that doesn\u2019t have a problem with drugs. They have a very strong death penalty for the people that sell drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump then said drug dealers should receive the death penalty.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration launched the First Step Act which was criminal justice reform that saw thousands of drug dealers released. Within one year of its passing, approximately 3,100 inmates were released from federal prisons for good behavior. Many were convicted of drug offenses, Reuters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-justice-prisons\/about-3100-federal-inmates-to-be-released-early-under-new-u-s-law-idUSKCN1UE25G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>.
