Number of Illegal Immigrants Arrested by ICE Dropped More than 60% in February
Predictably, the Biden administration’s disastrous immigration policies are having a detrimental impact on the U.S. even though they have only been in place for weeks. In that short time, the nation has seen an overwhelming flood of illegal alien minors slam Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and a huge drop in adult fugitives arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Last month the administration restricted ICE from making arrests by reducing agents’ enforcement priorities and forcing them to seek written permission from senior supervisors before arresting fugitives. Not surprisingly, it has resulted in a huge decrease in illegal immigrant arrests. ICE data reviewed by a mainstream newspaper reveals that the number of illegal aliens arrested by ICE dropped more than 60% in February compared with the last three months of the Trump administration. Deportations fell by nearly the same amount, according to the figures.
In the meantime, more than 7,000 illegal immigrant minors were placed in U.S. shelters in February alone, according to government data published by a separate national news outlet days earlier. “The numbers in March indicate the steady rise has continued,†the story reads. “During the first four days of the month, more than 1,500 unaccompanied migrant minors were taken into custody.†The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), a well-funded branch of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is charged with providing care for illegal aliens under the age of 18 which are classified as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) by the government. ORR has been receiving an average of 337 UAC a day. “The figure for the first full month of the Biden administration is the most migrant children the refugee office has ever received in a February,†the news article states.
