Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have begun arrests of migrants with criminal records. These are criminals that ICE now has the power to arrest and deport. Reminder: The Obama administration did the same thing.
According to the New York Post, “ICE officers in Boston made eight noteworthy arrests, including multiple MS-13 gang members, murder and rape suspects and the Haitian gang member, with 18 recent convictions.”
As officers were arresting these criminals, Fox News reported hearing a neighborhood woman yelling “thank you!” to the agents. Because who wants to live with criminals in their neighborhood?
Fox also reported that one Haitian gang member with a lengthy rap sheet said, while getting arrested, that he “ain’t going back to Haiti” and raged “F–k Trump, Biden forever!”
A Guatemalan migrant in Alabama who was arrested for sexually abusing a 12 year-old girl reportedly told officers: “It is what it is.”
How did ICE agents move so fast on these criminals? Easy. A September 2023 ICE report showed that the agency knew of 662,556 noncitizens with criminal histories but only had 15,000 of them detained. That is a pathetic detention rate of 2%, meaning the remaining 98% of criminals are roaming the streets of America right now. But not for long now that ICE has been empowered to arrest them.
Fox also reported that the U.S. State Department would now be pressuring other countries who do not cooperate with deportations to do just that.
