ICE has reportedly deported nearly 6,000 illegal aliens since President Donald Trump took office.
In the 15 days since Trump has been in office that averages out to around 370 – 400 deportations per day. ICE deported 512 illegal immigrants on Monday alone, according to federal data shared with DailyMail.
In total, ICE arrested 715 individuals with outstanding immigration violations on Monday.
Of these migrants, 73 percent either had known criminal convictions or pending charges, including homicide, sexual crimes against minors and drug trafficking.
And six Tren de Aragua (TDA) cartel affiliates were arrested on Monday in addition to nine other migrant gang members. The first flights of migrants to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba that started Tuesday included members of the gang and other ‘high-threat’ aliens tied to the cartel.
Since Trump’s swearing-in, close to 9,000 immigration violators have been arrested, many of whom have multiple convictions or charges, the official added.
‘President Trump’s administration is carrying out his promise to arrest and deport criminal illegal immigrants,’ the senior White House official texted DailyMail.
‘There’s more to come. This is just the beginning.’
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday Trump celebrated the crackdown on criminal aliens that his administration has been carrying out.
‘The volume of crime that they have and the viciousness of the crimes, these people are horrible people, and if somebody thinks they’re going to be wonderful citizens someday, they’re wrong. It’s not going to happen,’ Trump said.
‘If I can get them out of the country and be in some other country where they’re glad to have them because they make a small fee compared to what we’ve paid to a private prison, or to put them in one of our prisons and cost even more money, I think it would be great,’ he continued.
