As the federal government is facing a shutdown over President Donald Trump’s desire to build a wall to further protect the U.S.’s borders, the Department of Homeland Security released details about the illegal immigrants arrested this year.
The number of illegal immigrants arrested went up in 2018, according to numbers released by DHS. It can be attributed at least in part to Trump’s executive order, signed in 2017, dictating the administration’s immigration enforcement policies.
They revealed a breakdown of the illegal immigrants who faced administrative arrests over the last year. The most common causes for administrative arrests were traffic violations — including driving under the influence — with 80,000 arrests. The second most common was possession of “dangerous drugs,†although it doesn’t specify what drugs fall under the category.
