arrests of illegal immigrants with clean police records more than doubled

[brassmonkey]

In the first weeks of President Trump's tenure, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made 32.6 percent more arrests than a year earlier - 21,326 undocumented immigrants arrested from Jan. 20 to March 13, versus 16,104 in the same period a year earlier - and 5,441 of those immigrants had no criminal record, The Washington Post reports. The number of immigrants with criminal records was up 15 percent, but the arrests of immigrants with no criminal criminal record more than doubled, or even tripled at some field offices.

Overall, deportations were down 1.2 percent in that same January to mid-March period, at 54,741 people deported, but while deportations of immigrants with criminal records fell, the number of noncriminals deported actually rose. ICE spokeswoman Jennifer Elzea said it can take time to deport people; some countries, like China, have not been willing to take their citizens back.

Trump has also just begun his push to increase staffing at ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CPB) - the Department of Homeland Security is working out ways to quickly create Trump's nationwide deportation force, according to internal documents, including identifying 33,000 more detention beds, and the CPB's U.S. Border Patrol is looking to ease its hiring requirements, since 60 percent of its applicants fail at required polygraph test, The Wall Street Journal reports. ("The polygraph has given us a difficult time," Border Patrol Chief Ronald Vitiello said last week. "Not a lot of people are passing.")

The big change under Trump isn't necessarily the numbers, however - immigrant advocates called former President Barack Obama the "deporter in chief," especially before he shifted focus to new immigrants and those with criminal records in late 2014, and The Washington Post notes that Trump's numbers so far are lower than Obama's in 2014.

Libtard traitors do not understand the meaning of illegal. Or it is ok as long or because they are non white.

Obummer was the divider - looking for racial angles anytime possible (one of the biggest racists al sharpton visited white house for how many times? Hundred?).
Trump did not do anything even remotely similar. That one illegal thing could be considered, but only by those who do not get that he was against illegals, not against mexicans. Even if we consider this one it does not even come close to how much race mongering Hussein did.

Just deport them back where they belong. Problem solved.

They're happy to be re-united with their parents and real Americans don't have to waste their tax money on foreign leeches.

WTF man, I was agreeing with you, I just threw in another example. I guess you didn't like that one. Did it not fit your agenda?

You live in Slovakia and clearly have a boner for Obama. Your lame "the black man is the REAL racist" is so amateur, to an American, maybe it works with your Euro friends who don't know any better.

Trump went on TV demonizing minorities and brown foreigners, you know this being a white nationalist foreigner supporting an American president no matter what.

Twenty years of undercutting wages is what screwed things up.

Hindsight is 20/20, but illegals should have been deemed a type of national security threat and stopped at the border using any means necessary.

Who is gonna do all the work?

20% are on disability 20% on unemployment 20% on welfare and the rest are fucking around in government jobs that produce nothing.

Your credit card hit $20 trillion yet? Soon the mask will be lifted and the US will be exposed as a broke man buying his food with EBT and his cigarettes with pocket change.

Exactly. If the first thing you do is commit a crime when coming into the country, how is this person a productive member of society? Even if they have a "clean" police record.
