BREAKING/EXCLUSIVE: DHS tells @FoxNews that ICE has quietly carried out one of its most successful operations in agency history, resulting in the arrests of 1,328 illegal aliens in just a 14-day span in the states of Virginia & Maryland.

Nearly 400 of the aliens had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, including a Salvadoran illegal alien wanted by police in Richmond, VA on a murder warrant. (Eygner Wilfredo Huezo-Moran’s mugshot below).

Other targets included aliens with rap sheets for attempted murder and rape, as well as convictions for sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery and DWI.

The operation primarily targeted the sanctuary jurisdiction suburbs in VA & MD around Washington DC, and ICE arrested anyone in the U.S. illegally, regardless of any criminal history.

“”” ICE arrested anyone in the U.S. illegally, regardless of any criminal history.”””

Being in the USA illegally is a crime.

I don’t want to sound ungrateful but I’d sure like to see a couple of zeros at the end of that number.

“I HOPE we see the fruits of all this at the midterms.”

You know what they say about HOPE.

Knock door-to-door, talk to people at work, at church, etc.
Find out how popular or unpopular it is.

My experience agrees with my opinion: Deport legals, illegals, naturalized citizens who
1) give aid and comfort to terrorists, enemies of the US.
2) murder, rape....DUI, Drunk n disorderly.
3) apply for welfare, benefits

Do not deport those who work hard, take care of their family, sit beside us in church.

“”sanctuary jurisdiction suburbs in VA & MD around Washington DC””

Right under the government’s nose...

Many of the illegals from the surrounding states go to Maryland for the free Healthcare.

“Yes, undocumented immigrants can get Medicaid in Maryland. Maryland has an emergency Medicaid program that covers basic health care needs for undocumented immigrants who are in need of emergency medical care. Emergency Medicaid is only for certain limited emergency services, such as labor and delivery, emergency room visits, and preventive services. However, undocumented immigrants may also be eligible to apply for medical assistance coverage under Maryland’s Medical Assistance Program. Eligibility is based on household size and income level.”

I hear you, but, my thought was, the deported illegals are presumably not voting.

Those who sympathize with the illegals who “just” trespass and utilize our many benefits and services unlawfully, our places in colleges, and vote, etc., taking such from citizens, well, yes, they are better than rapists and burglars and gang bangers, sure. If some voters are so sympathetic to them

(I am sympathetic towards their kids as I am to the kids of all criminals. But they should just stay with their law breaking family, that is the kindest option)

and so vote Democrat because they want people who sneak in or overstay to get de facto citizenship, well, that is a loss we have to be prepared to take I suppose.

You’re right. There are a lot of good hard working people who live here illegally. Deport them too.

They’re too stupid to take the money and leave.

If they did the same thing every 14 days for the next 2 years, that would be 70k deportation.

Out of 30-40 million illegals.

This isn’t what I voted for.

I voted for hundreds and hundreds of full busses running non stop to the border.

They’re still getting a myriad of public services and money.

But I was just told that because there was not a line outside some dude's house that he was not seeing any "mass deportations".

I know some people want flashy parades but I prefer it just getting done.

"AWESOME keep it up. I bet somewhere Spanberger is having herself a pity party 'NOOOOOOOOOOO DONT TAKE MY VOTERS I NEED THEM'”

Are they removed from the registered voter role when deported or do the harvesters take care of their ballots?
