Report: Trump’s DHS Arresting Average of 1,500 Illegal Aliens Every Day in U.S.
Breitbart ^ | Aug. 3, 2026 | John Binder

Posted on 08/03/2026 8:47:08 PM PDT by chickenlips

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is arresting, on average, about 1,500 illegal aliens every day throughout American communities, a report released Monday suggests.

The CBS News report states that the figures are based on internal documents not yet disclosed to the public, detailing “a summer enforcement surge” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that has seen more than 46,000 illegal aliens taken into the agency’s custody in July. “An average of 1,500 detainees entered ICE custody each day last month, the data indicates, though some of them were first arrested by Customs and Border Protection agents,” CBS News reports:

The over 46,000 book-ins in July surpassed the roughly 43,000 detentions recorded by ICE in June, at the time the highest tally during President Trump’s second term. As of this weekend, ICE was holding 68,000 detainees in its sprawling detention system, approaching a record high of over 70,000 detainees set in January, according to internal agency figures.

Keep it up thru Jan. 2033 and hopefully beyond...

1500, added to the number that self-deport...and they do, and I am encouraged.

The sore spot is the RINOs and the businesses/industries and the Chamber of Commerce always lobbying for cheap, non-American labor. spit

Well, Cool.

At that rate it will take about 19 years to get rid of just the ones Biden brought in. All we gotta do is somehow get Trump re-elected 5 more times to finish geting rid of the Biden imports, and then we can start on the other 30 million or so that have come in the 50 years prior to Biden.

Good start. Just don’t look too carefully at the math.

500,000 per year
5,000,000 per 10 years
50,000,000 per 100 years

So at this rate, they will all be deported in 100 years.

We’ll have a place for the law abiding ones. They just need to return home once a year for a month or so. No welfare. Easier said than done.

We got 2.9 million out of the country last year. I’m hoping we can get 5 million out this year though I’d be happy with 4. No, that’s not going to solve the problem overnight but keep doing it for the rest of Trump’s term and it does start to make a serious dent in the number of illegals we have. The key then is to get Vance elected in 2028 and continue getting millions of them out of the country every year.

Last year we deported about 600,000 and 2.3 million “voluntarily” left.

Either way, just get them out of the country.

I was going to say a drop in the bucket. Does it even cover the number sneaking in during the same time period?

How many are actually kicked out of the country?

Or do we arrest them, keep them in jail and house and feed them?

This just amplifies the damage the Biden Cartel did to the country.

Rope.

Gravity.

Lots of it, please.
