President Trump’s recent actions to enforce Federal Immigration Laws in Los Angeles California have gotten the well-known cast of progressive Democrats and the Mainstream Media into their usual lather, which they’ve used to whip up their supporters with claims of Trump “abusing power”, being “reckless”, on a “manhunt”, “destroying families”, and more.

Well, Trump’s surely not the first one to arrest criminal illegal aliens: For Fiscal Year 2024 (Oct 1, 2023- Sep 30, 2024 here’s the total & breakdown of crimes illegal aliens have already been convicted of, either in their country of origin or in the United States, as reported by US Customs and Border Patrol when they were arrested by CBP:

Total U.S. Border Patrol Criminal Alien Arrests = 17,048

• Assault, Battery, Domestic Violence = 1,084
• Burglary, Robbery, Larceny, Theft, Fraud = 697
• Driving Under the Influence = 2,844
• Homicide, Manslaughter = 29
• Illegal Drug Possession, Trafficking = 1,566
• Illegal Entry, Re-Entry = 10,935
• Illegal Weapons Possession, Transport, Trafficking = 232
• Sexual Offenses = 221
• Any Other Category = 3,276

Total number of criminal convictions = 20,884
(Some were charged with multiple crimes)

Remember, these people were “at-large” – running from the law – when arrested.

While I don’t commend or admire Joe Biden for his lax enforcement of America’s immigration laws I wholeheartedly thank the CBP and ICE employees responsible for these arrests.

Now, regarding President Trump, during the first 50 days of his administration ICE made 32,809 at-large enforcement arrests, including 14,111 convicted criminals and 9,980 having pending criminal charges. This compares with only 33,242 at-large arrests made by Joe Biden for the ENTIRE 2024 Fiscal Year.

And speaking of Joe Biden, this is just the tip of the criminal illegal aliens iceberg: As of July 21, 2024 – almost a year ago, and not including the latter half of 2024 – there were 662,566 non-citizens with criminal histories who were not detained while awaiting immigration proceedings.

“Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals, and 226,847 have pending criminal charges.”

So, show of hands: How many of agree with progressive Democrats that it’s OK to allow criminal illegal aliens to stay on America’s streets and that President Trump is the one “abusing power”, being “reckless”, on a “manhunt”, and “destroying families”?

Added Bonus! ICE has an excellent and comprehensive ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Statistics detailing all their activities (oh, and did anyone else notice the acronym spells “ICE EROS“?).
