ICE has made an astounding 32,000 arrests since President Trump took office. According to senior ICE agency officials, 70% are either facing charges or have been convicted of crimes.
Here’s a video showing ICE hard at work removing illegal alien criminals from an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado.
Yesterday, the extraordinary Real America’s Voice reporter Ben Bergquam reported that ICE is RELEASING illegal aliens that President Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan arrested.
Watch:
Fox News is now reporting that all 40 illegal migrants held at the Guantánamo Bay U.S. naval base in Cuba have been sent back to the United States and are now being held in Louisiana, two U.S. defense officials told Fox News.
The group includes 23 “high-threat illegal aliens” who were held at the detention facility on base and 17 migrants who were held at the migrant operations center on base.
The illegal migrants were transported to Louisiana via Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) aircraft and there are currently no migrants being held at the base and no flights scheduled to arrive with more migrants, the officials said.
The U.S. defense officials were not told why the 40 migrants were sent back to the United States, and Homeland Security and ICE have not yet responded to any inquiries about why they were sent back and where in Louisiana they are being held.
It is unclear if the U.S. will continue to hold migrants at the base, commonly known as “Gitmo.”
According to several U.S. defense officials, none of the 195 tents set up to hold migrants have been used because they do not meet ICE standards, such as having air conditioning and other amenities.
During their discussion about a federal court blocking President Trump from sending 3 Venezuelan criminals to Guantanamo Prison off the coast of Cuba, former US Assistant District Attorney Phil Holloway told Fox News host Harris Faulkner that rulings by judges against President Trump’s efforts to hold illegal alien criminals at Guantanamo are nothing more than a continuation of the lawfare against the President we witnessed against him by activist judges before he was elected.
While many of the arrested illegal alien criminals have been deported back to their country of origin, detention facilities across America have reportedly reached maximum capacity.
Unfortunately, Dilley, ICE’s largest detention center, which can hold 2,400 detainees and is located about 75 miles from San Antonio, was closed by the Biden regime, who favored shipping illegal immigrants to communities and large cities across America to housing them in detention centers until they could be properly vetted.

In late January, President Donald Trump instructed the Pentagon to prepare 30,000 beds at the base to house “criminal illegal aliens” who pose a threat to the American public, adding that putting them there would ensure they do not come back. The president said the move would bring the U.S. one step closer to “eradicating the scourge” of migrant crime in communities, once and for all.
But the operation to build more tents was halted back in February, just several weeks after it started.

News of the migrants being sent to Louisiana comes as President Donald Trump is reportedly expected to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 in an effort to pave the way for faster mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
Trump will use the law to target members of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, the New York Post reported, citing two sources close to the administration.
Trump campaigned on invoking the wartime law, which allows the president to detain or deport the natives and citizens of an enemy nation.
