FBI agents participated in joint operations with federal and local police partners to help arrest more than 10,000 illegal migrants since Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025. There doesn't appear to be any sign of letting up.
==============================================================
The swanky Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket communities on the Massachusetts coastline are best known for politicians like Barack Obama who flock there for summer vacation or for the Hollywood elites who filmed iconic movies like Jaws on their beaches.
But over Memorial Day week, a new class of visitors hit the island enclaves – G-men from the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement who helped round up about 40 suspected illegal aliens, including an MS-13 gang member and a child sex offender.
The details of the operation – obtained by Just the News – were included in reports that are now sent weekly to new FBI Director Kash Patel that show how and when FBI agents are assisting the Homeland Security Department and other police agencies in helping to deport millions of illegal aliens who crossed borders during the Biden era.
Gangs, drugs, human trafficking and child exploitation
The FBI’s hands-on role – and the attendant manpower investment – is one of the quieter aspects of President Donald Trump's signature border security initiative.
But it has paid some large early dividends: As of Monday, FBI agents have participated in joint operations with ICE, DEA and local police partners to help arrest more than 10,000 illegal migrants since Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, the FBI disclosed Tuesday.
Most of the targets are aliens believed to be engaged in criminal behavior like gangs, drug and human trafficking and child exploitation, officials said.
"With over 10,000 immigration-related arrests, the Bureau under the direction of Director Patel is making it clear it’s not turning a blind eye to the border crisis," Erica Knight, an adviser to Patel, told Just the News.
"It’s targeting the violent cartels and criminal networks that are exploiting it. This is the direction Americans have been demanding, and the Bureau is delivering on the promise to put safety and sovereignty first," she added.
Documents reviewed by Just the News show Patel has shifted a significant percentage of FBI agents and other support personnel like analysts into at least part-time immigration enforcement work: about 5,448 alone as of the last week of May.
That included 555 FBI employees in Los Angeles, 195 in Philadelphia, 333 in Houston, 213 in San Antonio and 142 in Baltimore, the records show.
Some states welcome the FBI's new direction
In all, the FBI has logged 1,055,432 manpower hours since Jan. 20 dedicated to immigration enforcement with Homeland and other law enforcement partners, the records show.
On May 29, according to the operations report sent to Patel, FBI agents in Jacksonsille and Tallahassee assisted a Homeland Security investigation that targeted a Florida carpentry service. The raid ended with 74 arrests in what the FBI reported was a human smuggling operation.
A company owner was “operating a smuggling and labor scheme of Mexican citizens, smuggling the individuals into the country and forcing them to work at rates below minimum wage for his construction company,” the FBI after-action report stated.
The FBI resource commitment is welcomed in states long overrun with the related scourges of the border crisis, like fentanyl.
"I think we are making progress,” West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey told Just the News on Tuesday when asked about the FBI’s less heralded assistance on immigration matters.
Morrisey was one of the first GOP governors to commit state law enforcement to Trump’s immigration crackdown partnerships, one he says is paying dividends. “People don't fully appreciate that in West Virginia, we have severe problems with fentanyl, and a lot of the fentanyl comes through because it's smuggled either across the border, it's between the ports of entry, it's within the ports of entry," Morrisey told the John Solomon Reports podcast.
"West Virginia sees a massive amount of death because of the border disorder that was created by Joe Biden and others,” he added. “What Trump is trying to do is absolutely correct, and so we've been working in our state to show strong support for that, and that's going to continue.”
Catching criminals is their job. That’s why they were hired. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE CRIMINALS STEALING MONEY FROM U.S TAXPAYERS. Geez. It isn’t rocket science.
Appalling! Think of all the Catholic churches and school board meetings they could have been monitoring!
Sitting at a red light in Baltimore this morning we heard a siren behind us. Suddenly a white police car shot past us. It was Immigration officers.
Go get em boys.
Good luck, ICE agents. They’re going to need it now more than ever.
Does “manpower hour” not include “womanpower hour”?
If “manpower hour” is all inclusive, then why does it still have “man” in it? Somebody better ask manly Tim Walz about this. He’s the expert on men.
If it’s ok to use “manpower hour” with “man” in it, then why isn’t the simpler and classic “manpower” acceptable?
Why must modern life be so difficult? Why must everything be so confusing?
That’s true.
Maybe they should use ‘transpower’...............
How about a few FBI agents rounding up the Epstein predators?
And all the J6ers they could be arresting!......................
Unless you were on Epstein Island raping girls. they won’t touch that.
Good.
Better they spend their time rounding up and deporting illegal alien criminals than wasting their time investigating false “hate crimes” like the “noose” that Bubba Wallace “found” and claimed was racially aimed at him - 50 agents were sent to investigate that case.
“Clean up your own messes”
“In major shift, FBI spent 1 million manpower hours catching illegal aliens since Trump took office”
Maybe that’s what the Democrats planned. If they win the 2024 elections they have 12 million new voters. If they lose the 2024 elections the Republican President will have to spend his 4 years cleaning out the 12 million illegal aliens they let in.
They should also shift the focus of their surveillance based on “stochastic terrorism”.
Under Biden, this was used to profile people for the probability of being a terrorist based on certain criteria such as:
Attending Latin Mass
Complaining about Public School policy.
Visiting “right-wing” websites.
This should now be changed to:
Wearing a Keffiyah.
Saying “From the river to the sea”.
Attending college.
How many man hours did they waste of the J6’s?
All of them......................

We need to increase it to 2 million!
**********
Trump and the federal gov’t along with the state gov’t should
begin a process of using these illegals for six months or so
cleaning up the roadways, gov’t land, etc and then put them on
a slow boat back to where they came from. If they are caught
again they will be put on a chain gang for 10 years before
giving them another ride on the slow boat back to where they
came from.
Rules, laws can be set up to handle such crisis. If they don't
this land is in for a change greater than what happened after
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. The question is does
the current residents want to keep the land or let the incomers
have a big say in what happens before much longer. jmo
