The Trump administration is arresting illegal migrants at a break-neck pace, far outpacing the rate at which the Biden White House nabbed those living unlawfully in the country.
Federal immigration authorities have arrested more than 20,000 illegal migrants in President Donald Trump’s first month back into office, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed Wednesday The number marks a 627% increase in monthly arrests in comparison to the roughly 33,000 at-large arrests made during President Joe Biden’s last year in the White House.
“President Trump and this Administration are saving lives every day because of the actions we are taking to secure the border and deport illegal alien criminals,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a press release. “Hundreds of thousands of criminals were let into this country illegally.”
“We are sending them home, and they will never be allowed to return,” Noem said.

The media is continuing with their sob stories as they pick out one particular instance of a person being arrested and try to force their readers into feeling sympathy for that person.
Today, the WSJ had such an article about a guy that stayed after coming in on a tourist visa in (I believe) 2017. The comments to the article consisted mainly of "what part of illegal do you not understand?". I guess the article didn't get the response they were hoping for since they've known removed the piece from the front page.
How many illegals nationwide were estimated before Trump took office in January?
Only 99.9% left to go....
Cutting off all the illegal support they are getting will help. Lean on anyone who hires them too, when they go broke many will go on their own.
This is going to take a while.
Another additional proof Biden needed no new additional immigration law change or more money for the border.
240,000/year ...
They need to pick up the pace.
Also, and perhaps more importantly, we need to end all the incentives to illegal alien invasion. No goodies from the government, no employment, no freebies.
Wake me when its 2,000,000 illegal aliens deported in a month
At this rate it is 280,000 per year- x 4 = 1,120,000
(not that it will stay the same rate, but it still will amount to a fraction of the estimated 20 mill here illegally or so- gonna have to ramp up the efforts big time- but it’s a good start-
IIRC-—IT IS A FINE OF $5000/day/employee if you hire an illegal.
BY the time all of that gets collected :
NO more illegals get hired ++++ LOTS OF TREASURY $$$$$
20,000,000 will do fine.
I want to see more arrests and deportations, but the self deporting thing has its merits. My concern when I hear ‘they will self deport’ is that I have never see a single thing that show how we will track that. How do we know how many self deport? Who is counting? When you leave the US and enter Mexico, you dont stop by US Customs and Border Patrol. You only do that on the way into the US (unless this has changed since the last time I crossed into Mexico). So how do we know?
woops- yeah my math is really super goodly... 240,000 and 960,000
Agreed—I see it as a twelve year project—Trump 2.0 + Vance 1.0 + Vance 2.0.
Get that by a factor of 10 and we’re getting somewhere...
Dammit, Janet! They’re not migrants! Migrants come and go. These people have no intention of leaving.
It’s probably difficult even getting that many since Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to keep violent criminals right here where they’re needed to destroy America.
If you didnt have these fed leakers they would have already gotten more than 100,000 deported
20K@month times 12=240k@year=Big Woof
20,000 - drop in the bucket. Not impressive.
