President Trump attacked Democrats in Congress over immigration in his weekly address Saturday, blaming the party for refusing to close "loopholes" that allow gang members including MS-13 members into the United States.

In the video message, Trump singled out House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), accusing her of trying to "protect" MS-13 members who he again described as "animals" in his remarks.

"MS-13 gang members are truly, and you’ve heard me say it, animals – and yet Nancy Pelosi and Washington Democrats continue to protect them and to push for open borders," Trump said.

"The record is plain: Washington Democrats voted against Kate’s Law, they voted against legislation to deport gang members, and they voted for Sanctuary Cities where these violent criminals hide," Trump continued. "Democrats in Congress have opposed every measure that would close these immigration loopholes and bring the slaughter to an end."
