ICE arrested 308 illegal migrants, some of whom had been charged with murder and child rape, on President Trump’s first full day in office Tuesday, border czar Tom Homan has revealed.

Immigration officers began arresting illegal migrants who pose threats to “public safety,” of whom there are 700,000 roaming the country, Homan said Wednesday.

“ICE is doing their job,” Homan added.

...

Homan has vowed to restart immigration raids under Trump, including in sanctuary cities.

...

Homan has said that ICE officers have compiled a “target sheet” of the illegal migrants with criminal records who they’re looking to arrest and deport.

“So, they’re out there right now looking for the most serious public safety threats and throughout the country, we’re putting them back to work,” Homan said of ICE

...

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is taking measures to seal off the southern border from illegal crossings.

...

The Trump admin will also deploy 1,500 additional active duty troops to the border

Are the media fools looking for tearful children torn away from the illegals?

Like the many with fear in their eyes crossing the border with a creepy guy taking them to be sold for sex slavery?
Terrified to tell agents that the trafficker isn’t really their Uncle Emilio.

They haven’t been able to do their jobs in a long time. Once they ramp up we’ll see a huge jump in numbers. Also, self-deportation will bring those numbers of illegals down too.

This sounds like fine ‘soft launch’ start as they refine their rusty processes and train personnel.

They will need to deport 20,000 per day.

That ramp has to be steep to get 10 million, much less 20 million or more, gone in 4 years

A lot of “child-rapists “ I bet, because in Mexico, 9 years old is old enough.

Sounds like everyone knew where they were.
FBI and Keystone Kops were busy protecting us from killer rabbits.

RE: ICE arrested 308 illegal migrants

At this rate, it will be a little over 9000 illegals a month or about 100,000 illegals for the year. A drop in the bucket compared to the over 10 million illegals we have here ( and that’s the minimal estimate ).

IIRC, they are working in a very limited way now, lots of preparation is required to ramp up the action after the O’Biden years.

Add three zeros to that and we’ll be getting somewhere.

I didnt say they were doing things wrong. I was just pointing out that 308 is nothing to be boosting about. I like you Tom, but just get it done.

If they would finish buiding the wall that would help.
Get some passenger vans and go back and forth along
the Rio Grande Wall, pick’em up put’em on slow boats
to China, S. America or the artic and let them learn
about cold spots.
