Rich Calder, New York Post, February 1, 2025
Federal immigration officials have arrested more than 7,200 illegal migrants since President Trump green-lighted deportation raids nearly two weeks ago.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as of Friday had rounded up 7,260 illegal migrants, according to a compilation of daily totals of arrests since Jan. 23 posted on X by ICE.
The agency also reports lodging 5,763 “detainer” requests with local authorities, asking them to turn over migrants targeted for deportation.
The raids are centered on sanctuary cities like New York City, Chicago and Boston and those arrested include illegals accused of rape, sex crimes against minors, and guns and drug offenses, ICE said.
