(AURN News) — President-elect Donald Trump criticized outgoing President Joe Biden's border policies following two separate violent incidents on New Year's Day that left multiple casualties in New Orleans and the suspect dead in Las Vegas.

Trump posted on Truth Social: “With the Biden “Open Border’s Policy” I said, many times during Rallies, and elsewhere, that Radical Islamic Terrorism, and other forms of violent crime, will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe. That time has come, only worse than ever imagined. Joe Biden is the WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA, A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER. What he and his group of Election Interfering “thugs” have done to our Country will not soon be forgotten! MAGA”

In New Orleans, at least 14 people died after Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a Texas resident, drove through a crowd on Bourbon Street and then fired shots. The FBI reports finding an ISIS flag and potential IED in his rental pickup truck. Jabbar was killed by local law enforcement.

Separately, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police are investigating an explosion outside the Trump International Hotel involving a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck. The incident injured seven people and killed the driver. Police discovered gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters, and fireworks in the truck bed. While investigating possible connections to the New Orleans attack, authorities currently believe it was an isolated incident.
