White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the US authorities have arrested 538 illegal migrants and deported hundreds.
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order of Protecting the American people against invasion which states that the US saw an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration in the last four years.
The authorities in the US have begun cracking down on illegal migrants in the first days of President Donald Trump’s presidency. In a massive operation, hundreds of illegal migrants have been arrested and deported- just three days after the new administration was sworn in. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the US authorities have arrested 538 illegal migrants and deported hundreds.
“The Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals including a suspected terrorist, four members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors," Karoline Leavitt said in an online post. She added, “Trump Administration also deported hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals via military aircraft. The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway. Promises made. Promises kept."
The White House also listed names of some of the people arrested by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the crimes committed by them which included rape, sexual conduct against a child, and continuous sexual abuse of a child aged 14 or younger.
This comes after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order of “Protecting the American people against invasion" which states that the US saw an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration in the last four years. It read, “Millions of illegal aliens crossed our borders or were permitted to fly directly into the United States on commercial flights and allowed to settle in American communities, in violation of longstanding Federal laws."
Many of these “aliens unlawfully within the United States" present significant “threats to national security and public safety", committing vile and heinous acts against innocent Americans, the order continued.
