ICE Deports More Than 185K Illegal Aliens, 4.2K Gang Members in 2020

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency deported more than 185,000 illegal aliens in Fiscal Year 2020 including more than 4,200 gang members, despite operational disruption caused by the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

Between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020, ICE agents deported 185,884 illegal aliens from the United States. About 64 percent of those deported, 118,949 illegal aliens, had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges against them. Nearly 14,500 illegal aliens deported were family units while a little more than 4,000 were Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs).

The overwhelming majority, 92 percent, of illegal aliens deported from the interior of the U.S. had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges against them at the time of their deportation.

As suspected due to the coronavirus, deportations this year dropped by more than 30 percent compared to Fiscal Year 2019 deportations and more than 27 percent compared to Fiscal Year 2018 deportations.

Of the illegal aliens deported this year, 4,276 were known or suspected gang members and 31 were known or suspected terrorists. This year, ICE’s air travel deportation operation coordinated a record 76 charters to high-risk countries including Jordan, Albania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Mongolia.

There was a 160 percent increase in total deportations via ICE’s high-risk air travel deportations compared to last year. Likewise, ICE agents deported more than 350 high-profile illegal aliens including Bosnian national Saudin Agani, convicted of aiding a terrorist organization.

Agani is a relative of Bosnian illegal alien Dzenan Camovic, who was indicted this year for ambushing two New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers in June while shouting the phrase “Allahu Akbar.” Justice Department officials have said that Camovic is a supporter of the Islamic State (ISIS).

As President Trump has surged immigration enforcement, President-Elect Joe Biden has promised to halt deportations of illegal aliens

Don't worry Biden and his socialist cabinet will let them all back into the country, I'm surprised they didn't have pork in this virus bill to send planes to go pick them up and bring them back free of charge......

In other news, fully half of AmeriKans are liberals and deeply resent the deportation of our enemies. They prefer to see AmeriKa burn rather than prosper.

Back to our regularly scheduled program.

All it does is give them a free trip home to visit and they come back the following week. I say neuter a few of them when you catch and release. See the rest of them self deport for good.

By becoming a sanctuary and abrogating responsibility to deal with ICE and follow Federal law, California seceded and is no longer really America

The problem is with enforcement once they get here. Back when there was such a thing a Justice in America, the rat finks who employ these wetbacks would be severely punished.

Heck, the feds aren't even keeping entire states under control.

America as we knew it is no more.

Don’t worry Biden owes China a lot that smell from south of the border is rice cooking.
