Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested hundreds of undocumented immigrants on the first full day of Donald Trump's presidency, according to the agency's new chief. Border Czar Tom Homan told Fox News Wednesday: "In the last 24 hours, ICE arrested over 308 serious criminals. Some of them were murderers. Some of them were rapists. Some of them raped a child." Senator Katie Boyd Britt of Alabama said that ICE agents arrested 308 unlawful immigrants across the United States in a post on X, but did not provide further details. It was not immediately clear where the arrests were being carried out.
More than 460 illegal immigrants have been arrested in the United States since President Donald Trump’s inauguration Monday, Jan. 20, including those with criminal histories, according to multiple reports. The arrests occurred between midnight on Jan. 21 and 9 a.m. on Jan. 22, covering 33 hours. “In the last 24 hours, ICE arrested over 308 serious criminals,” Border Czar Tom Homan told Fox News on Wednesday, Jan. 22. “Some of them were murderers. Some of them were rapists. Some of them raped a child.” Nationals from various countries, including Mexico, Colombia and Guatemala, were among those arrested across multiple states. Trump has vowed to deport millions of illegal immigrants, having issued an executive order for this purpose.
Federal officers swept into sanctuary cities on President Trump’s first full day in office Tuesday, nabbing more than 300 illegal migrant criminals — including an attempted murderer and a child molester — to hold them for deportation, The Post has learned. The coast-to-coast dragnet — a multi-agency effort led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — picked up felons in and around Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Washington, DC, and Miami, a senior Trump administration official said. It was just the start of what border czar Tom Homan has promised will be a renewed effort to boot 700,000 illegal migrants who have committed crimes from the US — and sanctuary cities will not be spared.
