A week after he won the election, President Trump promised that his administration would round up millions of immigrant gang members and drug dealers. And after he took office, arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers surged 40 percent.
Officials at the agency commonly known as ICE praise Trump for putting teeth back into immigration enforcement, and they say their agency continues to prioritize national security threats and violent criminals, much as the Obama administration did.
But as ICE officers get wider latitude to determine whom they detain, the biggest jump in arrests has been of immigrants with no criminal convictions.

Here's an old song I like.
Blondie - One Way Or Another - 7/7/1979 - Convention Hall (Official)
--- No : No Problem Then.
--- Yes : Then you are breaking the law and have to go.
Immigrants?
Really?
Leftists love calling illegals “Immigrants” thus lumping illegals with people who came to this country LEGALLY..actually let’s call them what they are, future Democrat Voters..which is why the left want them here
Immigrants are completely safe.
[President Trump promised that his administration would round up millions of ILLEGAL immigrant gang members and drug dealers]
There, Washington Compost - fixed it for ya.
They were used to the lawless Obama. They thought theyd get the lawless Clinton.
Oh, right, but Obama claims he deported more than anybody. Why didnt the Post get mad about that?
“Immigrants whose only crime was living in the country illegally were largely left alone during the latter years of the Obama administration. But that policy has been scrapped.”
Excellent!
TY President Trump!
I would like to see mass deportations and the wall though. This is only chipping the iceberg a bit
In one short sentence.
There.
Fixed it!
the left only loves the DOJ and FBI, apparently.
All other REAL law enforcement they hate.
the biggest jump in arrests has been of immigrants with no criminal convictions.
Typical tricks played leftist writer. The correction : the biggest jump in arrests has been of ILLEGAL immigrants with no criminal convictions.
“the biggest jump in arrests has been of immigrants with no criminal convictions.”
They ARE criminals. They illegally invaded our country. It’s just that Bush, Obummer, et al. didn’t want to arrest and convict them.
Makes it easier when the Sanctuary Cities & States law enforcement won’t cooperate to weed out the criminals .... then you get them all.
I just call them what we used to call them:
wetbacks
We should not wait until illegal aliens harm or kill Americans before they are removed!
"ICEs arrest totals in Trumps first year in office are still much lower than they were during Obamas early tenure,..."
Which is because the Obama regime called it an "arrest" if an illegal was stopped and turned back attempting to enter this country.
Winning! Please, more Mr President. I am still not tired of winning.
