ICE Arrested 7,000 Gang Members in First Year of Trump Administration

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 7,000 gang members during President Trump’s first year of his second term. Secretary Noem is delivering on President Trump’s mandate to make America safe again and carry out mass deportations. These 7,000 vicious criminals committed heinous crimes including murder, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and carjacking.

In President Trump’s first year in office, ICE arrested 7,000 gang members,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “When we say we are targeting the worst of the worst, this is exactly what we mean. Many of these were let in by Joe Biden and should have never been in this country. These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport. But under President Trump’s and Secretary Noem’s leadership, ICE is turbocharged to arrest even more gang members and make America safe again.”
