US President Donald Trump attacks "illegal immigrants". Washington, United States:
With the rise to power of Donald Trump, authorities have begun to track down illegal immigrants who have undertaken a dangerous journey in search of the American dream. Hundreds of illegal immigrants have been arrested and deported in a massive operation that comes just three days after the new administration was sworn in.
Comparing the figures, White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said that US authorities have arrested 538 illegal immigrants and deported hundreds more with military airstrikes. "The Trump administration has arrested 538 criminal illegal immigrants, including a suspected terrorist, four members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes against minors," Leavitt said in an online message on Thursday. "The Trump administration has also deported hundreds of criminal illegal immigrants using military aircraft. The largest mass deportation operation in history is underway. Promises were made. "Promises kept," she added.
The White House shared a "brief summary" of the work the Trump administration is doing to "secure our nation's borders." It listed the names of some of the people arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the crimes they committed. The crimes include rape, sexual conduct toward a child, and continued sexual abuse of a child 14 years of age or younger.
Following his inauguration on January 20, US President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders, including one to "protect the American people from invasion." The order says that over the past four years, the United States has experienced an unprecedented influx of illegal immigration. "Millions of illegal immigrants have crossed our borders or been allowed to enter the United States directly on commercial flights and have settled in American communities, in violation of long-standing federal laws."
The executive order also states that many of these "illegal immigrants to the United States" pose "significant threats to national security and public safety," committing heinous and hateful acts against innocent Americans.
On January 23, the U.S. Congress gave the green light to a Republican-led bill — the Laken Riley Act — to detain and deport undocumented immigrants who enter the country without authorization and are charged with certain crimes.
