Trump’s ICE Begins War on Criminal Aliens, And the First Pictures Reveal Huge Progress

The American dream has always been built on law and order—a fundamental principle that separates prosperous nations from failed states.

But for four years the illegitimate Obama Regime turned this principle and the American dream for millions of citizens on its head.

Our southern border has become increasingly porous; American communities have been turned into hunting grounds for international criminals.

The consequences of weak border policies have devastated families across the nation, from quiet suburban neighborhoods to bustling city centers.

Last year alone, criminal aliens were responsible for thousands of violent crimes, drug trafficking operations, and sexual offenses against American citizens—all while sanctuary cities provided safe harbor to these predators.

A new sheriff is in place and he promised immediate action

to restore America’s sovereignty and protect its citizens.

Unlike his predecessors, who offered empty rhetoric and half-measures, Trump’s administration moved with unprecedented speed and determination.

NOTE: While politicians spent years debating semantics, President Trump initiated what needed to be done.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

According to information obtained by Fox News Digital:

Within just 33 hours of Trump assuming office, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made more than 460 arrests of illegal immigrants. Those included people with criminal histories spanning sexual assault, domestic violence, drugs, and weapons crimes.

Border czar Tom Homan declared on America’s Newsroom Tuesday morning:

Teams are out there as of today.

We gave them direction to prioritize public safety threats that we’re looking for. We’ve been working up the target list.

The arrests targeted nationals from multiple countries, including Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal, and Venezuela—demonstrating:

[T]he global scope of the threat facing American communities.

ICE Acting Director Patricia Hyde told Fox News:

Today was a good day. Today we took several significant public safety threats out of our communities.

Unfortunately, a lot were [previously] released by sanctuary policies.

But we’re here to tell the Commonwealth and the rest of the country that we’re going to find them, whether they’re released or not.

Among those arrested was a Jamaican national, Kamaro Denver Haye, charged with promoting sexual performance by a child under 17 years of age.

In Salt Lake City, agents apprehended Jesus Perez, a Mexican national charged with aggravated sexual abuse of a child. These are not just statistics—these are dangerous predators who were living freely in American neighborhoods.

Sanctuary cities like New York and Chicago initially vowed to resist federal immigration enforcement, however, the success of ICE operations has begun changing that narrative.

In Boston, Fox News witnessed agents arrest multiple MS-13 gang members, including individuals with Interpol Red Notices for murder and rape.

“Sanctuary” quickly loses its appeal

when faced with actual results.

One Boston-area operation yielded particularly telling results when a defiant Haitian gang member with 18 prior convictions shouted anti-Trump rhetoric during his arrest—highlighting exactly the kind of criminal element that sanctuary policies have been protecting.

Notably, the Department of Homeland Security has moved decisively to end policies that restricted ICE operations in so-called “sensitive locations” like churches and schools.

Those had become de facto sanctuaries for criminal aliens. This change enables agents to pursue public safety threats wherever they attempt to hide.

Those on the Left said mass deportations were “impossible,” however, they did not know the resolve of We the People.
