As Doug Powers reported earlier, Fox News' Bill Melugin said they saw ICE arrest eight illegal immigrants in Boston Wednesday, and they represented the kind of people that sanctuary city mayors are trying to protect from deportation: multiple MS-13 gang members, murder and rape suspects, and a Haitian gang member with 18 convictions in recent years.
President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, announced on Fox News that if you're an illegal immigrant, you're a criminal, but it was the worst offenders ICE was going after. He said that ICE had arrested 308 violent criminal illegals on Day 1 and that they were going after the "worst first."
Boom! Tom Homan announces that ICE has already arrested 308 violent criminal illegals. Homan is targeting the "worst first" but if you're in the country illegally, you are eligible for deportation. Leave now. pic.twitter.com/jVlzVlIa0H

This is amazing news. The best is yet to come. America is so back!

Before you get too excited, though, a proposed Community Note is saying that ICE arrested an average of 310 illegal immigrants a day in 2024. Do we feel safer with Homan at the helm? Absolutely.
According to Sen. Katie Boyd Britt, ICE also visited prisons and ordered 300 additional illegal aliens released to ICE custody "rather than on our nation's streets."

He’s not messing around and he means what he says.
He cares about America’s future and will put a stop to the invasion. pic.twitter.com/XBrQmnCMjf
That’s 308 people that will not be committing a crime today

If I was here illegally I would start packing my bags

We need an arrest and deportation counter/ticker like the Covid death count! I am down for that!
— Kat (@KatManDoToo) January 22, 2025
Only 9M or so to go...

We need a ticker at the bottom of all 24/7 news stations!
Is there a “ticker” showing the number of ICE arrests and deportations? I would love to watch that number rise and it will motivate the country! We would literally be able to watch our country getting safer with each deportation! 🇺🇸💪

Make America Safe Again!
We like that idea, and we know CNN loves a countdown clock.
Need way more deportations done per day. Need about 10k a day to keep up and catch up!
— WickedAfterlife (@WAServers) January 22, 2025
Need to pick it up. If they only average 500 a day, they is less than 200k a year. Need 5-10x that amount.

I want them ALL gone, they are all criminals.

Only another 29,692 to go! Homan can do it!
— Lori (@lori_browning_) January 22, 2025
ICE will be busy for a while. This looks promising. 🇺🇸
— Charles McGhee (@Charles_McGhee_) January 22, 2025
Finally, some action! Secure our borders, deport the criminals, and protect our communities. No one should be above the law. If you're here illegally, it's time to go!
— Crypto_SAK (@SmartKakar1) January 22, 2025
308 is progress...especially violent criminals.
— floridanow1 (@floridanow1) January 22, 2025
I look forward to weekly reports and watching media cry.
We like that Homan clarified that you don't need to have committed a violent crime to get a visit from ICE, they're just prioritizing the worst first.
