U.S. immigration officers have arrested more than 680 people in recent operations, 75 percent of whom have been convicted of crimes, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said on Monday, referring to actions that have sparked alarm among immigrant rights advocates.
Kelly said in a statement that crimes committed by the illegal immigrants ranged from homicide to driving under the influence of alcohol.
He said the operations were routine and consistent with regular operations carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Immigration advocates have said they are raids that do not take into account an immigrant's threat level or family ties to the United States.
President Donald Trump promised to deport 2 million to 3 million migrants with criminal records on taking office.
Former President Barack Obama also targeted criminal migrants for deportations, but his administration did not consider low-level offenses such as driving under the influence of alcohol to be a deportable offense.

Well,here's an old song I like.
Pack your bags.
It’s a start!
Actually, Rush was touting 0bama’s raids that netted 7,500.
Not a PEEP from the Enemy Media back in 2011 when 0bama was cleaning house!
It’s a start.
We need to make sure illegal aliens get the message that they WILL be deported and that if they leave voluntarily they can apply to do it the right way or if they are deported they will have a 10 year wait to apply.
deport the invading 3rd world invading socialist hordes
i was at Starbucks in Capitola this morning... 4 guys armed and wearing cool uniforms with HSI Response Team patches were waiting for their coffees... it was a very cool moment to see them there...
We must not be satisfied with just deporting those already given deportation orders or convicted of violent crimes.
All illegal aliens MUST break multiple crimes DAILY to continue their illegal presence.
Illegal employment and document fraud at the very least.
We should not wait until they harm or kill Americans before deporting them.
Former President Barack Obama also targeted criminal migrants for deportations, but his administration did not consider low-level offenses such as driving under the influence of alcohol to be a deportable offense.
************************************************
Drunk illegal alien drivers kill Americans every day.
This MUST be a deportable offense.
Why should we wait until they kill someone?
I would be repatriating them from 30,ooo feet.
The Leows used to be packed with illegals
All gone now
Works for me
Only about 20-30,000,000 more of these illegal alien invader felons to arrest and deport.
that is 1 in every 17,000
When we hit 10 million, we’ll be at a 25% success rate.
me too. I mean the Leows used to be packed with Illegals as they knew Obama wanted them here. Must have run off scared lol
Now they are all gone!
good riddance
Where is Capitola, Venezuela?
[[680?,that’s kinda lame.]]
Absolutely it is- but it’s a start- I’ve read there are over 80,000 violent criminal illegal aliens walking our streets- likely even far more than that as many simply haven’t been convicted yet and aren’t on record as violent criminals yet

(Clicky Clicky)Over 680 Arrested In Immigration Raids
We desperately need a layered border - wall, mine field, fence, road, fence and forts/patrols, underground sensors, etc. We need it now, otherwise, these raids are like emptying the ocean with a teaspoon.
I've always had a soft spot for the Remote Sentry Guns as used in the movie "ALIENS".
