President Trump’s administration is arresting fewer illegal aliens living in the interior of the United States as the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is strained dealing with booming levels of illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
ICE officials revealed to Reuters that the agency is having to arrest fewer illegal aliens living throughout the U.S. in order to aid Border Patrol at the southern border because of record illegal immigration levels.
Between October and December 2018, ICE agents arrested about 34,546 illegal aliens living in the country, a 12 percent drop from the year before when nearly 40,000 illegal aliens were arrested by ICE over this same time period.
“Our interior arrests have been affected…†ICE official Nathalie Asher told Reuters.
