Federal immigration authorities arrested at least 160 illegal aliens over multiple days and across multiple states in what the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is calling “routine” immigration enforcement actions.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Gillian Christensen confirmed to the Washington Post that “routine” immigration enforcement actions were taken this week in Los Angeles, California; Atlanta, Georgia; and two other cities that were not identified. The enforcement actions took place at home and workplaces.
The spokesperson noted it was an unprecedented step to issue statements on such raids while they were ongoing, but fast-spreading social media commentary triggered the agency to comment in this case.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attested that 160 illegal aliens were arrested in the southern Californian region, including Los Angeles, according to NBC San Diego. The report stated that those with criminal histories and deportation orders were targeted over a five-day sweep.

Put some ICE on that.
Hehe. Good one!
dude how many arrests can you make in 24 hours? Do you think all the illegals live on one block in LA?
If someone could post a picture of Elián González being taken at gunpoint and then post the phrase “Remember when deporting illegal aliens was a good thing?”
Word of mouth in this case Rumors is the best thing going right now. Put the fear of God in them in the sense of being arrested and that means some, not all of course, will self deport. It’s a start but it’s better than status quo
Our biggest challenge is our own people sabotaging the operation.
Thanks for the tip! I bet it would work most anywhere...
Music to America's ears.
Thank you, President Trump. I hope to hear ever increasing reports of this type until this national scourge has ended.
Our biggest challenge is our own people sabotaging the Operation Wetback 2017.
Why not terminate all federal, state, and local welfare benefits to those here illegally. That should help illegals come to a decision to self-deport.
Especially after the President cuts off their jobs and welfare benefits. The southbound exodus will be epic.

I used to live in CA. I recall a proposition passed that said something similar. Denying welfare to illegals. But a judge struck it down.
Anyone remember that?
“Remember when deporting illegal aliens was a good thing?”
Sadly, Elián González was here legally, under the wet foot/dry foot doctrine.
Stop for a moment and try to recall the last time we saw this level of immigration enforcement.
It almost brings tears to my eyes, it's been so long.
Prop 187? Nope, don’t remember it at all.
I’m glad I moved out of that benighted state.
That is exactly the result of immigration enforcement done right.
Make living conditions here so untenable, that illegals find it more to their benefit to return to their countries of origin.
Thanks!
Some of us small business owners have resisted the temptation and financial incentives to hiring illegals.
My family has lost at least a million dollars to the illegal horde over the last decade or so, but we've just gritted our teeth and soldiered on.
Now that we have a president who has promised to send the unfair competition packing, we finally have hope that we can once again make an honest and profitable living.
Key to that, will be driving the illegals from the national workforce. If President Trump does that, my family will be eternally grateful.
