More than 460 illegal immigrants were arrested in the first 33 hours of the Trump administration, including those with criminal histories.
Between midnight on January 21 and 9 a.m. on January 22, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more than 460 illegal immigrants, Fox News Digital reported. Among the arrested include those with criminal histories of sexual assault, domestic violence, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, and those with drug and weapon offenses.
Those arrested came from a large array of countries, including Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal, and Venezuela, Fox reported. The illegal immigrants were arrested across the country, including in California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, and Utah.
In addition to the arrests, ICE issued more than 420 detainers – a request from ICE to be notified when an illegal immigrant is released from custody. In the past, these detainers often have been ignored by “sanctuary cities” who announce they will defy federal law and protect illegal immigrants from deportation.

Fox provided some examples of the illegal immigrants that have been arrested so far under the Trump administration:
- Jesus Perez from Mexico, charged with aggravated sexual abuse of a child.
- Kamaro Denver Haye from Jamaica, charged with promoting a sexual performance by a child under the age of 17 and for possessing a sexual performance by a child under the age of 16.
- Jesus Baltazar Mendoza of Mexico, convicted of second-degree assault of a child.
- Andres Orjuela Parra, convicted of “sexual penetration with a foreign object on an unaware victim.”
- Multiple MS-13 gang members, people wanted by Interpol, as well as murder and rape suspects.
The arrests followed President Donald Trump’s promise to crack down on illegal immigration, which exploded under the Biden administration. On his first day in office, Trump signed multiple executive orders to complete the construction of the border wall, terminate former President Joe Biden’s mass humanitarian parole policies, and reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” program.
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has also signaled a tough stance on illegal immigration. On Tuesday, Homan announced that ICE had been searching for criminal illegal immigrants as part of the first phase of Trump’s mass deportation program, The Daily Wire reported.
“ICE teams are out there as of today,” Homan told Fox News host Trace Gallagher. “We gave them the direction to prioritize public safety threats. That’s what we’re looking for. We’ve been working with a target list.”
