From the New York Post: US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested an astounding 11,000 illegal migrants in the first 18 days of the Trump administration – which is already a third of the total busts the agency made last year under former President Joe Biden, The Post has learned.
The arrests, part of President Trump’s mass deportation offensive, collared a previously deported Mexican cartel hitman, according to Department of Homeland Security sources.
ICE agents in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, nabbed Fernando Vasquez-Mendoza, who was identified as a hired killer working for Cartel del Golfo, or Gulf Cartel, a Mexican drug trafficking organization and criminal syndicate.
It is unclear when Vasquez-Mendoza was previously deported or when he snuck back into the US.
The report notes that ICE made 33,000 arrests last year in total, under the Biden administration.
Now the Trump administration has nabbed one-third of that number in just 18 days. Many of those arrested are members of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua and multiple child sex offenders.
Due to the large number of arrested, ICE has had to scramble to located more space to hold the detainees, and was expected to open four detention facilities Friday operated by the Bureau of Prisons, although the location of those facilities was not made public.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced Friday that a second flight had just departed taking some of the most dangerous illegal alien criminals to Gitmo. She wrote:
