President Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has racked up 11,000 illegal alien arrests in the first 18 days of this administration as the president seeks to enact the largest mass deportation operation in the history of the United States.
The figure, reported by the New York Post, includes a multitude of violent criminal offenders and members of gangs and cartels.
The arrests have resulted in the capture of Fernando Vasquez-Mendoza in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, with ICE explaining that the man, a previously deported Mexican national, is a hired killer working on behalf of the Gulf Cartel.
Federal immigration enforcement agents have also arrested Cristian Jose Concepcion-Manrique, a member of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua who had a prior assault conviction and illegally entered the United States in December by way of El Paso.
