US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested and removed from this country 7,300 illegals during its first week under President Trump. That’s an average of about 1,043 per day, a number Trump wants to increase to at least 1,200 to 1,500. The tally for Monday of this week approached that range, at 1,179. Deportation flights during the week left for Mexico, Jordan, Brazil’ and El Salvador.
In addition, during the first week, ICE issued a detainer request for 853 illegals already in the custody of various local police forces. A detainer request asks that a certain detained illegal be held until he or she can be picked up by ICE for deportation.
Meanwhile, the raids are continuing. ICE agents, accompanied by newly confirmed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, targeted a number of NYC neighborhoods in a series of pre-dawn Tuesday raids. One of the illegals taken into custody was 25-year-old Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, a purported ringleader of the Tren de Aragua wanted on a variety of charges in Aurora, Colorado.
