NEW YORK POST ONLINE

US Federal immigration officials have arrested more than 7,200 illegal migrants since President Trump green-lighted deportation raids nearly two weeks ago.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as of Friday had rounded up 7,260 illegal migrants, according to a compilation of daily totals of arrests since January 23 posted on X by ICE.

The agency also reports lodging 5,763 “detainer” requests with local authorities, asking them to turn over migrants targeted for deportation.

The raids are centred on sanctuary cities like New York City, Chicago and Boston and those arrested include illegals accused of rape, sex crimes against minors, and guns and drug offenses, ICE said. The effort is part of the major crackdown in large cities across America that Trump promised on the campaign trail and also has led to weeding some members of the notorious Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs off the streets.

ICE has provided limited information on just a few dozen of the arrested migrants — all of whom were previously convicted of felonies, facing criminal charges in their home countries.
