On President Donald Trump's first full day in office, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 308 illegal immigrants, including individuals charged with violent crimes such as murder and sexual assault. Border Czar Tom Homan announced that ICE is focusing on dangerous illegal migrants and prioritizing the arrest and deportation of public safety and national security threats. When asked what someone would have to do to receive a visit from ICE, Homan replied, "Be in the country illegally." He emphasized that anyone in the country illegally is eligible for deportation, stating, "There's nothing in the immigration law that says you have to be convicted of a serious crime to be removed." The arrests are part of the administration's plans to resume immigration raids nationwide, with ICE agents expected to continue these operations daily.
