US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested an astounding 11,000 illegal migrants in the first 18 days of the Trump administration – which is already a third of the total busts the agency made last year under former President Joe Biden, The Post has learned.
The arrests, part of President Trump’s mass deportation offensive, collared a previously deported Mexican cartel hitman, according to Department of Homeland Security sources.
ICE agents in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, nabbed Fernando Vasquez-Mendoza, who was identified as a hired killer working for Cartel del Golfo, or Gulf Cartel, a Mexican drug trafficking organization and criminal syndicate.
It is unclear when Vasquez-Mendoza was previously deported or when he snuck back into the US.
The federal immigration authorities also arrested several members of the vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua and multiple child sex offenders, according to sources.
One of the TdA gangbangers captured in New York, Cristian Jose Concepcion-Manrique, snuck across the border into El Paso in December and has a prior criminal conviction for assault.
ICE made 33,000 arrests last year in total, DHS sources said.
The staggering uptick in busts means ICE has had to scramble to find more space to detain the illegal migrants targeted by Trump’s major crackdown.
The agency was expected to open four detention facilities Friday operated by the Bureau of Prisons to expand bed space, a high-level ICE source told The Post.

They are easier to locate than I expected. Keep going!
“We’re going to need a bigger boat.”
I’ve, Ice, Baby.
‘cause business is booming!
It might be a good time to buy stocks in companies that contract to provide services at federal prisons.
Obama/Biden gave them I phones.
Using the same tech that biden’s henchmen tracked down those who were in DC on January 6th.
Other side of the sword.
The rats have been bragging about where they’re sheltering them fir four years.
Hell, even Martha Raddatz knows where they’re sheltering are.
fir = fir
are = them
fir = for
That’s quarter of a million per year....Want to see 10,000 a day!! Then we’re talking 3,650,000 a year. Possible?? Don’t know....probably not...
Illegal aliens are freeloaders and do not have “rights.”
Kick them out.
At that rate it will take 40 yrs to deport them all. Not near fast enough.Cutting off all bennies would help. No phone service, no free food, no medical care, no housing, and no jobs.
Just saying…
Love it!
“They are easier to locate than I expected. Keep going!”
All you have to do is go to Home Depot. It looks like Mexico City here in Longmont, Co.
There are easily over 20,000,000 illegal aliens here.
We have to ramp up self deportations.
Not enough noise has been made about “Self deport by date X, and we won’t hold it against you. If we catch you after that date, you will never be allowed back in legally for any reason for 20 years.
That is apparently the law and this Administration’s policy, and we need more noise about it so they self-deport.
Absolutely!!!!!
fir = for
If i = o...
Good start but staggering is not the adverb I would choose.
I’d use that for the 5000 average illegals that snuck in a DAY under creepy, sleepy Joe Biden for YEARS.
