ICE reports 6,000 illegal immigrants expelled during Trump’s initial two weeks, including criminals such as rapists and murderers

ICE has deported nearly 6,000 illegal aliens since President Donald Trump took office, a senior White House official told DailyMail.com. 

In the 15 days since Trump has been in office that averages out to around 370 – 400 deportations per day. 

ICE deported 512 illegal immigrants on Monday alone, according to federal data shared with DailyMail.com.

In total, ICE arrested 715 individuals with outstanding immigration violations on Monday.

73 percent of these migrants had either known criminal convictions or pending charges, which included serious offenses such as homicide, sexual crimes against minors, and drug trafficking.

Six members of the Tren de Aragua (TDA) cartel were arrested on Monday alongside nine other gang members among the migrants. The initial flights transferring migrants to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, that commenced on Tuesday, involved members of the gang and other individuals categorized as ‘high-threat’ aliens with connections to the cartel.

Since President Trump’s inauguration, nearly 9,000 individuals who violated immigration laws have been detained, a significant portion of whom have multiple convictions or pending charges, as stated by the official source.

‘President Trump’s administration is carrying out his promise to arrest and deport criminal illegal immigrants,’ the senior White House official texted DailyMail.com. 

‘There’s more to come. This is just the beginning.’ 

Since President Donald Trump took office nearly 6,000 migrants have been deported, a senior White House official revealed to DailyMail.com. Some migrants will now be flown to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba after getting deported from the U.S.

Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem posted pictures of migrants getting deported. The pictures were captioned: ‘Guantanamo Bay will hold the worst of the worst. That starts today’

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday Trump celebrated the crack down on criminal aliens that his administration has been carrying out. 

‘The volume of crime that they have and the viciousness of the crimes, these people are horrible people, and if somebody thinks they’re going to be wonderful citizens someday, they’re wrong. It’s not going to happen,’ Trump said. 

‘If I can get them out of the country and be in some other country where they’re glad to have them because they make a small fee compared to what we’ve paid to a private prison, or to put them in one of our prisons and cost even more money, I think it would be great,’ he continued. 

‘I’d love to get them the hell out of our country,’ the president noted.

And that plan is underway as around 10 ‘highly dangerous criminal aliens,’ some with suspected ties to TdA, arrived at the Cuban base on Tuesday, according to DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin. 

‘Guantanamo Bay will hold the worst of the worst. That starts today,’ Noem wrote on X alongside images of migrants getting deported. 

The base has been ramping up operations to turn the military installation into a holding facility for deported illegal aliens. 

‘There are approximately 380 US service members supporting the illegal alien holding operations at Naval Station Guantanamo,’ a spokesperson for SOUTHCOM told Fox News. 

The last time the base was used for migrant operations was in 1994. 

Trump repeatedly promised voters his administration would enact the largest deportation effort in U.S. history

He was only sentenced to a couple months confinement and two years of probation before ICE picked him up in Atlanta.
