US officials say Trump has cast wider net fordeportations

WASHINGTON

The Latest on immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump (all times local):

A top immigration official says people living in the country illegally have good reason to be worried about getting deported under President Donald Trump.

Thomas Homan, deputy director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, spoke Tuesday in Washington as the federal government announced that Border Patrol arrests plunged to a 45-year-low in the last fiscal year while arrests by deportation officers soared.

Homan says the Trump administration has cast a wider net when picking up people for deportation.

Administration officials say the decline in Border Patrol arrests to the lowest level since 1971 doesn't undercut justification for Trump's proposed border wall with Mexico.

The federal government has provided the most complete statistical snapshot of immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump. Border Patrol arrests plunged to a 45-year low while arrests by deportation officers soared.

Numbers released Tuesday show the Border Patrol made nearly 311,000 arrests during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, a decline of 25 percent from a year earlier and the lowest level since 1971.

Despite the significant decline, arrests increased every month since May, largely families and unaccompanied children.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, whose officers pick up people for deportation away from the border, made more than 140,000 arrests, an increase of 25 percent from a year earlier.

AfterTrump took office, ICE arrests surged 40 percent from the same period a year earlier.

RETURN ALL FAMILIES AND UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN WITHIN 24 HOURS

FAST TRACK THE PREGNANT ONES OUT OF HERE...THEY ARE NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY!

RAMP UP "OPERATION RETURN TO SENDER"


DO NOT PAY COYOTES TO COME HERE...DO NOT COME HERE...YOU WILL BE DEPORTED WITH NOTHING!

BUILD THAT WALL.

Congress, shut up about DACA, it will cost you all your seats and send you into the infamy of traitors. Instead, wrap your arms around funding for the wall, funding for at least 15,000 more ICE agents, 1,000 more immigration prosecutors, and 500 more immigration "judges" to purge this scourge from our land. It's all in the Davis-Oliver Act and the RAISE ACT. Give Americans the best Christmas ever by passing appropriation bills that include all the funding needed to activate the deportation agenda that will end the biggest magnet of all, illegal aliens already in the US, who provide the network and base inside the US for more illegal alien arrivals.

GET SMART. GET HONEST. GET AMERICAN. I realize this is a big task for many of you to be smart, honest and American, but you can do it.

deportations are fast now with Donald Trump it is a good thing
