The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under President Trump carried out a historic operation that culminated in the impressive figure of 1,328 illegal immigrants arrested in the states of Virginia and Maryland in just 14 days.
The massive operation, which lasted from August 1 to 14, saw federal agents acting in jurisdictions that are "sanctuary cities", meaning places where Democratic officials seek to protect undocumented foreigners.
Fox News reported that in the successful operation nearly 400 illegal foreigners with criminal convictions or pending criminal charges were arrested, in addition to others accused of attempted murder, rape, sexual assault, kidnapping, robbery, and driving under the influence.
Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, praised the ICE agents responsible for the historic raid. "In the course of just two weeks in Virginia and Maryland, they arrested sexual offenders, kidnappers, drunk drivers, assailants, and gang members," the government official told Fox.
