The number of arrested migrants has multiplied seven-fold since President Donald Trump was inaugurated, says Kristi Noem, chief of the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump\u2019s deputies and officers have arrested more than 20,000 illegal aliens in places far from the U.S. border, the department announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a 627% increase in monthly arrests compared to just 33,000 at large [far from the border] arrests under Biden for ALL of last year,\u201d Noem said in a tweet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nearly all of the arrested migrants are being repatriated to their foreign homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rise in arrests happened after Trump canceled Biden\u2019s many pro-migration policies. For example, Biden\u2019s pro-migration deputy, Alejandro Mayorkas, largely blocked ICE agents from arresting migrants who were not already convicted of felonies. He also barred them from arresting illegal migrants near schools, hospitals, government buildings, churches, and courts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biden\u2019s welcome policies encouraged the inflow of roughly nine million illegal migrants, who pushed down wages and raised rents throughout Americans\u2019 society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
