By the Numbers: New Data Shows Arrests of Criminal Illegal Aliens Have Made ‘Real Impact on Public Safety’

Violent crime is on the decline in the U.S. following the arrest and removal of criminal illegal aliens, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday.  

“Under President [Donald] Trump and [DHS Secretary Kristi] Noem, our law enforcement is working at lightning speed to remove violent criminal illegal aliens from the U.S.,” Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary, said in a press release given first to The Daily Signal.  

“Every single day we are arresting gang members, murderers, pedophiles, and violent predators,” McLaughlin said, adding, “70% of [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] arrests are of illegal aliens who have been convicted or charged with a crime. These arrests and deportations of criminal illegal aliens are having real impact on public safety.”
