Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested 308 illegal immigrants on the first day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration. According to The New York Post, Border Security Officer Tom Homan made this disclosure.
These arrests have taken place from every part of the country. Most of these illegal immigrants are criminals. Some of them are accused of kidnapping, murder and rape. Homan said immigration officials have begun arresting illegal immigrants who pose a threat to the country. Their population is more than 7 lakhs.
According to the report, 4 Bangladeshi citizens are also among those arrested on the first day. Apart from this, raids are going on in many states of America and immigrants are being interrogated on a large scale. Days after winning the presidential election, Trump appointed Tom Homan, the former head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as ‘Border Czar’. Homan announced last week that the day after Trump’s inauguration, he would lead a massive nationwide search and arrest of undocumented illegal immigrants.
After taking oath, Trump signed several executive orders. These included orders like banning the entry of illegal immigrants and tightening security on the border. Even during the swearing in, Trump had talked about expelling illegal immigrants from America. He had said that very soon America would start the biggest deportation campaign in history.
America has the largest number of immigrants in the world. A total of 20 percent of the world’s immigrants live in America. The total number of immigrants living here by 2023 was 4.78 crore. Trump believes that people from other countries enter the US illegally and commit crimes.
