U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has become very, very busy since Donald Trump became president again and installed Border Czar Tom Homan to
help clean up the massive illegal immigration mess that Joe Biden made.

Their latest operating theater: Houston, Texas, where they’ve nabbed over
400 “undocumented people”—many with extensive and disturbing criminal
records. These are the kinds of folks Democrats keep going to bat for—not law-abiding Americans.

During the operation, ICE officers targeted some of the most dangerous criminals, including an illegal migrant wanted in Colombia on murder
charges.

Fox News exclusively embedded with officers for 10 hours as ICE officers arrested an illegal alien they say is wanted for murder in Colombia, at
his apartment complex.

"He has a homicide conviction in Colombia and was sentenced to 21 years
there," ICE Houston Director Bret Bradford said. "He entered the United
States illegally in February of 2024 was given a court date for an
immigration hearing and released. He did not show up for that court date,
so in March of this year, he was ordered removed by an immigration judge
here in the United States.


Expect progressives to start immediately whining about how these are just regular working “Texas mothers and fathers” who are just working toward a better life. At least some of them certainly don’t seem to fit that bill:

Not surprisingly, a whole bunch of them don’t seem like the type of people
we want in our country:

Of the 422 arrests, 262 have criminal convictions, 34 have pending
convictions, 126 have other immigration violations, and 229 had final
orders of removal, according to ICE.

Another illegal alien removed during the operation was a 72-year-old
migrant from Mexico who was ordered removed from the U.S. in 2018, and has
been convicted of homicide, robbery, shoplifting and assault.

What the Democrats don’t seem to get is that the administration is not
just picking up random people off the street: they’re focused on getting
the criminals out, and the Houston ICE Field Office has an operation
center with analysts dedicated to ferreting out the bad guys. "They are
doing the database research to get the worst of the worst, the ones who
have the most significant threat to public safety," said ICE Houston
Director Bret Bradford.

Donald Trump ran his campaign on undoing the disastrous border legacy of
Biden, and that is exactly what he’s doing. The corrupt media and the progressives keep trying to convince us that taking arsonists, rapists,
looters and murderers to account is somehow cruel, but their gaslighting
effort is not working.

What was cruel—to Americans—was letting them in in the first place.
