In a remarkable display of law enforcement, the Trump administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just completed a daring operation that took place over a mere 33 hours, resulting in the apprehension of over 460 illegal immigrants. These aren’t just your run-of-the-mill non-citizens; many have violent criminal histories that include charges for sexual assault, drug offenses, and even robbery. It seems the agency has been quite busy cleaning up the streets while certain critics remain entrenched in their progressive bubble.
The sweep, which occurred between midnight on January 21 and 9:00 a.m. on January 22, spanned across numerous states, showcasing ICE’s commitment to public safety. From Illinois to California, agents took action and captured individuals from a variety of nations, including Mexico, Colombia, and even as far away as Afghanistan. Apparently, the door to the United States has been flung wide open long enough for this diverse crowd to come in—with their baggage of criminal activity intact.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE‼️🔥
In the first days of the Trump Admin, ICE has already made more than 460 arrests of illegal immigrants, including those with criminal histories of sexual assault, domestic violence and drugs and weapons crimes

With more than 420 detainers issued during this operation, ICE is making it clear that it wants to remain in the loop about certain individuals who should not be on U.S. soil. These dangers to society run the gamut from charges of homicide to the appalling act of kidnapping. Yet, the question that does not get enough air time is: Why haven’t local authorities done more to remove these individuals who pose a risk to communities, instead of letting them roam freely?
Among the more notorious captures was a Mexican national, Jesus Perez, apprehended in Salt Lake City for aggravated sexual abuse of a child. Meanwhile, another Mexican national, Jesus Baltazar Mendoza, found himself in cuffs in St. Paul, thanks to a past conviction for second-degree assault of a child. One can only guess what merry mischief they would have conjured if left unchecked. State and local governments need to get serious about immigration enforcement if they hope to curb such behavior.
Not to be outdone was Colombian national Andres Orjuela Parra, arrested in San Francisco for an unsettling conviction involving sexual penetration with a foreign object on an unaware victim. The only question left is whether Parra brought along his activist buddies to protest his apprehension. Another standout from this roundup was Jamaican national Kamaro Denver Haye, who, allegedly, had the audacity to promote and view sexual performances involving minors. The numbers and narratives speak for themselves: when it comes to immigration enforcement, ICE is clearly in the business of protecting American citizens from, quite frankly, the worst of the worst. It’s a perspective that should resonate with all who value law and order.
