Trump administration touts 969 illegal immigrant arrests in one day: 'HERE ARE SOME OF THE WORST'

An announcement by the Trump administration was made on Tuesday through a social media thread. It highlighted the most recent apprehensions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as part of the administration’s efforts to tighten immigration regulations. 

“969 TOTAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ARRESTS by ICE were recorded yesterday, January 27, 2025,” the White House shared on X. “HERE ARE SOME OF THE WORST.”

The thread features nine individuals who are undocumented immigrants and have either been convicted of serious crimes like child rape or have suspected ties to criminal organizations such as gangs and terrorists. 

The nine criminal migrants highlighted in the thread include their photos, as well as short biographies explaining their crimes. 

One of the posts reads, “To enhance safety in America: Fernando Hernandez-Martinez, a citizen of Mexico, was detained by ICE Atlanta on Jan. 27, 2025. Convicted of: Two charges of child molestation, received a five-year prison sentence.”

Other arrests included a Peruvian national wanted by INTERPOL for aggravated sexual assault on a minor, a Mexican national accused of child molestation and an Afghanistan national suspected of being a suspected terrorist.

Trump’s 2024 campaign promised to curb illegal immigration that flourished under the Biden administration. The 47th President promised to deport migrants, including those who had long rap sheets or ties to gangs or terrorist organizations.

On the first day of his second term, President Trump issued ten executive orders aimed at overhauling U.S. immigration law and policy. Less than a week back in the Oval Office, Trump touted that he is keeping his promises.

“Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency at our southern border. I sent active duty troops on the border to help repel the invasion. Tom Homan is leading the charge. You know that. We like Tom Homan. Doing a great job. We immediately halted all illegal entry and began sending every border trespasser and violator back to the places from which they came. I signed an order that will designate the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. It’s a big deal, it’s a big deal. Biden didn’t want to do that,” he said from Las Vegas during a rally on Saturday. “Biden didn’t know he was alive. He didn’t want to do it.”

His executive orders included sealing the U.S. asylum system for those without proper documents; discharging the military with deporting immigration violators; and tasking ICE with removing migrants.

Since President Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, armed federal immigration agents have swept cities in the first deportation raids. 

In the last week, the Department of Homeland Security said that “law enforcement officials have removed and returned 7,300 illegal aliens.”
