Arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement jumped 627% from last year in President Donald Trump’s first month in office, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said this week.
ICE agents arrested over 20,000 illegal immigrants in one month, she said.
Noem said that compares to 33,000 at-large arrests under former President Joe Biden for all of last year.
“President Trump and this Administration are saving lives every day because of the actions we are taking to secure the border and deport illegal alien criminals,” Noem said in a statement. “Hundreds of thousands of criminals were let into this country illegally.
