The number of arrested immigrants has increased seven times since President Donald Trump took office, says Christie Noem, head of the Department of Homeland Security.
Trump's agents and officials announced they have arrested more than 20,000 illegal aliens far from the US border.
“This is a 627% increase in monthly arrests compared to just 33,000 people. [far from the border] All Biden arrests last year,” Noem said in a tweet.
Almost all of the arrested immigrants have been repatriated to foreign homes.
The rise in arrests comes after Trump cancelled many Biden's migration policies. Biden's deputy immigration officer, Alejandro Mayorkas, for example, has largely blocked ice agents from arresting immigrants who have not yet been found guilty of a felony. He also banned illegal immigrants from arresting schools, hospitals, government buildings, churches and courts.
Biden's welcoming policy encouraged the influx of around 9 million illegal immigrants who pushed wages down and raised rents across the American community.
So if Trump wants to remove all illegal immigrants, then there's a big job ahead.
Nationally, Trump and his successors will need to deport around 140,000 people a month in the United States to remove all of them over the next eight years.
However, many immigrants may return home if they are unable to easily obtain employment or welfare in the United States.
Trump's rise in arrests comes with many other positive signs that he is rebalancing the US economy and society after Biden's four years of running wild immigration.
Positive indications include the arrest of employers who employ illegal actors, the use of tax data to track illegal employment in Charleroy, Pennsylvania, and the use of Central American states as a drop-off location for immigrants from other countries.
The presence of drop-off sites ensures that uncooperative countries such as China, Vietnam and India can no longer prevent the deportation of citizens from the US.
