“This is just a small snapshot of the incredible work done by brave men and women on ice every day to increase public safety in southeastern Texas,” said Brett Bradford, director of field offices at Ice Ero Houston. “Every day, they order lives and risk their lives to arrest and eliminate dangerous criminals, members of cross-border gangs, members of cross-border gangs who illegally enter the United States and acquire innocent hardworking Texans, members of cross-border gangs, members of cross-border gangs, and foreign fugitives. In order to restore our concrete integration, we will cooperate from our unwavering efforts, in favor of our decision, in order to restore our nation.”
The announcement comes after Ice Erohouston agents arrested 646 illegal aliens in target enforcement measures last month, Center Square reported.
Working with multiple federal, state and local law enforcement partners, ICE agents have made arrests including 543 people who have been illegally charged or convicted of criminal offences in the country, including seven documented gang members. According to ICE records, the majority of 140 arrested people were charged or convicted of a violent or violent crime, including felony or murder, aggravated assault, domestic violence or other violent crime.
“In recent years, some of the world’s most dangerous fugitives, cross-border gang members and criminal foreigners have taken advantage of our border crisis to illegally enter the United States,” Bradford said. “After entering the country illegally, many of these criminal aliens have committed violent crimes and have continued to control fears of law-abiding residents.”
Their arrests “sent an overwhelming message to cross-border criminal organizations that the Texas Gulf law enforcement community is more united than ever and that we will not rest until we eradicate these criminal elements,” he said.
The Trump administration has given priority to deporting the most violent criminals, hoping it would become a massive deportation effort. Center Square reports exclusively, deportation is ongoing after a record of more than 14 million foreigners illegally entering the United States under the Biden administration.
Under the Trump administration, illegal border crossings fell within two months of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
