Donald Trump campaigned on solving the border crisis.
His administration has not wasted any time springing into action.
And Trump’s border czar just scored a big win with one announcement.
Big ICE sweep in Houston
Border czar Tom Homan promised mass deportations of illegal alien criminals out of the country.
Homan told ABC reporter Martha Raddatz that “you’re going to see the numbers steadily increase, the number of arrests nationwide as we open up the aperture. Right now, it’s concentrating on public safety threats, national security threats. That’s a smaller population. So we’re going to do this on priority basis. That’s President Trump’s promise. But as that aperture opens, there’ll be more arrests nationwide.”
Thus far, Homan is delivering for the Trump administration.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just completed a major operation in Houston, Texas that led to many criminal arrests.
ICE released in a statement, “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in conjunction with federal, state and local law enforcement, arrested 646 undocumented aliens – including 543 criminal aliens and seven documented gang members – during a week-long targeted enforcement operation conducted between Feb. 23 and March 2 in the Houston area to bolster public safety, national security, and border security. During the operation, ICE and its partners executed 71 criminal arrest warrants and arrested 543 undocumented aliens who have been charged or convicted of a criminal offense while they were illegally present in the U.S.”
Democrats and their media allies try to downplay the crimes committed by illegal aliens.
But the crimes are extensive.
Major crimes
Some of the crimes ICE detailed included, “140 criminal aliens charged or convicted of an aggravated felony or other violent offense such as homicide, aggravated assault, or domestic violence. . .34 criminal aliens charged or convicted of a sex offense or child sex offense such as aggravated sexual assault of a minor, possession of child pornography, or rape. . .38 criminal aliens convicted of illegal firearms offenses such as unlawful carrying of a firearm, alien in possession of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm. . .52 criminal aliens charged or convicted of illicit narcotics offenses such as drug trafficking, or possession of a controlled substance. . .51 criminal aliens charged or convicted of property crimes such as burglary or theft…93 criminal aliens charged or convicted of driving while intoxicated.”
The Left has tried to convince people that illegal aliens are only being deported for entering the country illegally.
While that is also a crime, many are clearly committing other crimes as well.
Bret Bradford, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford, said in a statement, “In recent years, some of the world’s most dangerous fugitives, transnational gang members and criminal aliens have taken advantage of the crisis at our nation’s southern border to illegally enter the U.S. . .After illegally entering the country, many of these criminal aliens have gone on to commit violent crime and reign terror on law-abiding residents. Fueled by our unwavering commitment to protect the public from harm, and united in our determination to restore integrity to our nation’s system of laws, ICE and our law enforcement partners in Southeast Texas have banded together to remove these dangerous criminal aliens from our local communities and put an end to the lawlessness that they spread.”
Deporting illegal aliens is only part of the program.
The border actually needs to be secured.
That’s one reason why Donald Trump is using tariffs to put pressure on Mexico to help stop traffickers.
Joe Biden actively tore down border wall construction for no reason other than to make the country less safe.
Trump has a lot of mess to clean up after four years of Biden.
But he’s off to a good start.
