Is it true that the United States arrested illegal immigrants?

According to foreign media 13, the US authorities arrested hundreds of illegal immigrants in many places across the country in the past week. This is the first time that the US government has initiated a large-scale ban on undocumented immigrants since Trump took office.

Trump said on social media Twitter: "Combating illegal immigration is just fulfilling my campaign promise. We need to expel gangsters, drug dealers and' others'. " The arrest was carried out by police officers of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau directly under the Federal Department of Homeland Security, which caused widespread concern in the United States.

Last week's action was the first mass arrest since Trump1October 25th signed a presidential decree against illegal immigrants. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau did not provide the total number of people arrested, only revealed that 16 1 people were arrested in Los Angeles and 200 people were arrested in Atlanta.

Capturing illegal immigrants was not new to Trump when he came to power. Among those arrested, 65,438+060 people were convicted of serious crimes or issued a final expulsion order by the court. This 160 people will be arrested even in the previous Obama era and face the fate of expulsion. But the problem is that Trump arrested far more than this 160 person. Many arrested illegal immigrants belong to Trump's tweet "We need to get rid of gangsters, drug dealers and' others'" and belong to the "other" type.
