ICE arrested 308 illegal migrants, some of whom had been charged with murder and child rape, on President Trump’s first full day in office Tuesday, border czar Tom Homan has revealed.
Immigration officers began arresting illegal migrants who pose threats to “public safety,” of whom there are 700,000 roaming the country, Homan said Wednesday.
“ICE is doing their job,” Homan added.
Homan has vowed to restart immigration raids under Trump, including in sanctuary cities.
In an earlier interview with The Post, Homan emphasized that even without the help of sanctuary city and state leaders, the feds would still “wait ’til they get out of jail, then we’ll go out into the neighborhoods and get them.”
Homan has said that ICE officers have compiled a “target sheet” of the illegal migrants with criminal records who they’re looking to arrest and deport.
“So, they’re out there right now looking for the most serious public safety threats and throughout the country, we’re putting them back to work,” Homan said of ICE .
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is taking measures to seal off the southern border from illegal crossings.
Border agents have been barred from releasing illegal migrants into the country, forcing them to hold and deport border crossers, Homeland Security sources told The Post
The Trump admin will also deploy 1,500 additional active duty troops to the border, fox Fox News reported.
