ICE rounding up hundreds of gang members
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials say they have arrested 1,555 suspected gang members since President Donald Trump took office in January.
Federal authorities told CBS News that 44 of the arrests involved foreign fugitives, while 39 involved known or suspected terrorists.
According to ICE officials, the agency made 32,809 total arrests during the first 50 days of Trump's second term, including 14,111 migrants with criminal convictions and 9,980 migrants with pending criminal charges. The overall figure also includes 8,718 migrants with no criminal record.
As the Trump administration continues its massive deportation effort, ICE is reportedly running out of detention space, and officials told reporters on Wednesday that the agency is currently detaining 46,700 migrants as they await deportation.
Citing internal data, CBS reported that ICE detention facilities are presently at approximately 120% capacity.
Customs and Border Protection rolled out a new app on Monday that will allow illegal immigrants to notify the federal government of their plan to "self-deport" in lieu of waiting for immigration authorities to arrest and detain them.

I have seen reports that self-deportation is seen as an effective way to avoid being charged with illegal immigration. The gang members are largely from a group that took advantage of Presdient Biden's open borders policies. Several countries apparently emptied their prison systems to take advantage of Biden's border policy. Trump is cleaning up Biden's mess.
