Trump Admin’s Crackdown on Illegal Immigration: 113,000 Arrests, 100,000+ Deportations

[Social Media]

 

Since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January, his administration has deported more than 100,000 migrants, fulfilling his campaign promise to take aggressive action on illegal immigration. According to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official, both Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have made 113,000 arrests and carried out “north of” 100,000 deportations in just over two months.

 

 

“He’s doing what he was voted in to do. Point blank!” an ICE source told The Post. The administration’s efforts focus on removing illegal migrants, alleged gang members, and suspected terrorists from the country. While it remains unclear how many of those detained have criminal records or where they are being deported to, sources suggest that a significant portion of deportations are to Mexico.

 

 

Upon taking office, Trump wasted no time in implementing strict immigration policies. He immediately declared an emergency at the southern border, deployed thousands of additional troops to reinforce border security, shut down the asylum system for illegal crossers, and launched a nationwide mass deportation initiative. ICE’s detention facilities have reached full capacity, and the agency is now requesting additional funding from Congress to expand the number of available beds to support the ongoing deportation campaign. Within the first 50 days of his administration, ICE had already made 32,000 arrests.

 

 

Trump has also taken unprecedented steps to combat transnational criminal organizations. In a controversial move, he invoked the rarely used 18th-century Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members without trial, sending them to a high-security El Salvadoran prison notorious for its harsh conditions. Seventeen alleged members of the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs were transferred to the facility on Sunday night, despite a federal judge’s earlier ruling blocking the use of the wartime law for this purpose.

 

The impact of these policies is evident at the U.S.-Mexico border, where illegal crossings have dropped to record lows. In March, border agents recorded just 7,000 illegal entries—down an astonishing 94% from the 137,000 crossings reported in March of the previous year under President Joe Biden. February’s numbers were similarly low, with just 8,300 illegal crossings—the smallest figure recorded in at least 25 years.

 

DHS officials have dubbed this dramatic decline “the Trump effect,” crediting the administration’s tough stance on immigration for the shift. “Illegal entries into the United States are no longer a backdoor way to getting status,” a DHS source stated. According to the source, migrants are now “scared there are consequences,” as everyone caught is prosecuted and serves time.

 

Most of the remaining illegal border crossings are concentrated in the San Diego and El Paso sectors, but if the trend continues, the U.S. could see the lowest number of illegal migrants since 1968. The Trump administration’s stringent immigration policies have already reshaped the border landscape, and officials suggest that further enforcement measures are on the horizon.

The Southern border illegal crossings have dropped dramatically, with good reason.

Now if only the UK would do a similar thing?? Alas they seem to be doing the opposite!

Fantastic job Mr Trump. Can we bang up that lying toad Mayorkas for falsely claiming Biden's border was "secure". Either perjury is a crime or it's not?

I think this is a great sign that no court trials are required. Best thing ever for that innocent guy sent to El Salvador is he gets a free holiday on the taxpayer's dime.

I would like to see how these inconciderate people who do not support the rule of law would go if picked up by the Thai Govt, and sent to Myanmar with no questions asked and left there with no support or contact from their loved ones. They would squeal like stuck pigs.

Trump doing what he said he would, I guess everyone is frothing on the tariff thread to notice anything else today.

The Dems would not understand this simply because their presidents never do what they promised in their campaigning. Thumbs up for Trump doing the job he was voted to do. Now, let us hope he continues and the Dems cease trying to stop him using the courts as their political machine.

Why should there be a hearing tying up the court system that would delay those who are LEGALLY in the country. The Dems are just trying their best to delay Trump and make him look bad for doing what he promised.

 

I am pretty sure if you are illegal in Thailand they do not keep you locked up for months or years deciding if you should be kicked out of the country. You are illegal. The enforcement is a part of the rules for being in the US. It is not about laws being broken or not. These people are 100% breaking the rules for their time in the US. They need to go!!!

100,000 down and 20 million to go.

This is not good for diversity.

Amazing the difference a little leadership makes

Too late, whites will be a minority within 10-15 years. All those illegal immigrants over decades have been having children and will out number the original population soon.

You mean the ones that are picked up for overstaying their visas?

 

Illegals.

 

Let 'em squeal.

Innocent?

 

He was a gangbangster but his lawyer convinced a judge that he'd be in danger if sent back to da hood.

So? If they are US citizens then they are your equals.

What's your problem if the USA reflects some of its origins? The country was not European before  Europeans  came and stole land.

If they had entered Thailand illegally, they would have no valid reason to squeal about getting picked up and deported to another country.
