In May, Stephen Miller, an aide to President Donald Trump, confirmed that the administration would amplify the number of arrests of illegal aliens.
“Under President Trump's leadership, we are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day, and President Trump is going to keep pushing to get that number up higher each and every single day so we can get all of the Biden the illegals that were flooded into our country for four years out of our country,” Miller said in the interview with Fox News at the time.
"We can't take the risk of letting these Biden illegals roam around freely so that the next American daugher can get raped. The next American kid can get murdered. The next American family can get splintered and torn apart by people who came to this country unchecked, uncontrolled, unvetted, uninvited by the American people," he added, as Townhall covered.
This week, a report from Fox News detailed how many illegal aliens from China have been deported.
Reportedly, 122 illegal immigrants were deported by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on June 3. Many of them were convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape and human smuggling. These illegal aliens were taken to China on a "special high risk charter flight" (via Fox News):
The Department of Justice on Tuesday charged seven Chinese nationals after they allegedly operated a multimillion- dollar marijuana trafficking ring. According to the Justice Department, the suspects smuggled illegal immigrants through the U.S.-Mexico border to work in marijuana grow houses.
"This case pulls back the curtain on a sprawling criminal enterprise that exploited our immigration system and our communities for personal gain," said U.S. Attorney Leah Foley.
"These defendants allegedly turned quiet homes across the Northeast into hubs for a criminal enterprise, building a multimillion-dollar black market operation off the backs of an illegal workforce and using our neighborhoods as cover. That ends today."
Fox News noted that in fiscal year 2024, over 24,376 Chinese nationals were encountered and 24,214 were apprehended. Reportedly, the border encounters of Chinese nationals in March 2024 alone were 8,000 percent higher compared to March 2021.
