Raids leave immigrants detained and mass deportations

U.S. authorities have detained 538 undocumented immigrants with criminal records as part of an operation against irregular immigration.

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported these figures and announced the issuance of 373 arrest warrants.

In its daily report, ICE highlighted several emblematic cases of detentions made since Trump reassumed the presidency.

Luis Alberto Espinoza-Boconsaca, convicted of rape, was arrested in Buffalo on January 23.

Emblematic detentions and mass deportations in the fight against illegal immigration

Another notable case was that of Cristofer Alexander Ramírez Olivia, arrested in St. Paul for criminal sexual conduct with a minor.

The White House described these actions as «a small preview» of the administration’s commitment to border security.

«Promises made. Promises fulfilled,» stated a message from the White House on X, highlighting the magnitude of this operation.

The return of Trump’s administration to the presidency brought with it the implementation of aggressive measures against illegal immigration.

These measures include the deployment of an additional 1,500 military personnel at the Mexico border.

The acting Secretary of Defense, Robert Salesses, reported on the authorization of troops, helicopters, and intelligence analysts.

This represents a 60% increase in active forces at the border since Trump took office on Monday.

Additionally, the Pentagon will provide aerial transportation to deport over 5,000 foreigners from San Diego and El Paso.

The administration has made it clear that this is the largest mass deportation operation in the history of the United States.
