Nearly 6,000 illegal immigrants have been deported by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since President Donald Trump took office. Within the first fifteen days of his presidency, this equates to approximately 370 to 400 deportations of individuals each and every day.
According to data from the federal government, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported 512 illegal immigrants on Monday alone. On the same day, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 715 people who had outstanding immigration infractions.
Seventy-three percent of these detainees already had criminal records or were facing accusations for major offences, including as homicide, sexual crimes against minors, and drug trafficking. This figure represents a significant chunk of the situation.
A total of nine members of migrant gangs and six members of the Tren de Aragua (TDA) cartel were taken into custody by the authorities in addition to these deportations. Tuesday marked the beginning of the first flights of deportees that were destined for Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
As part of these flights, high-risk persons with connections to the cartel were transported. Since Trump took office, there have been nearly nine thousand people jailed for violating immigration laws. Many of them are facing various charges of criminal offences.
It was emphasised by a senior official in the White House that the government is following through on its promise to remove illegal immigrants who have committed crimes, and they cautioned that additional steps are currently being taken.
On Tuesday, while he was speaking in the Oval Office, President Trump lauded the authorities for their actions. He criticised these criminals for the violent crimes they had committed and declared his desire to exclude them from the country when they were found guilty.
He reasoned that the expenses of holding these offenders in jails would be higher than the costs of deporting them, which would result in a savings of money. On Tuesday, around ten high-threat criminal immigrants, some of whom are thought to have ties to cartels, arrived at Guantanamo Bay, according to a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security named Tricia McLaughlin.
The military post is being expanded so that it may function as a holding facility for illegal aliens who have been deported, and approximately 380 members of the United States military are providing assistance for the operations.
