<p>Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) caught numerous criminal illegal aliens in their Sunday raids, a rogue&#8217;s gallery that includes cartel members, a drug and weapons trafficker, and a man charged with possession of child pornography.</p>
<p>The raids resulted in 613 criminal arrests, eight repatriations, 67 arrests of members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, and 12 other gang arrests, a senior official in the Trump administration revealed to The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Agents also lodged 853 detainer requests while 6,872 Homeland Security Investigation agents and Enforcement and Removal Operations agents were working to enforce federal immigration law. The raids came after President Donald Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security and Border Czar Tom Homan to launch the largest mass deportation operation in American history, with an initial focus on violent criminals.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s who they captured.</p>
<p><strong>ICE Omaha.</strong> Immigration enforcement agents in Oklahoma captured an unnamed member of Tren de Aragua who had previously spent seven years in a Venezuelan prison for robbery, resisting arrest, possession of a firearm, and unlawfully discharging a firearm.</p>

Meet The Criminal Illegal Aliens Captured In ICE’s Sunday Raids

<p>The House Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement is set to hold a hearing on the Biden administration’s failure to secure the border and potential solutions the Trump administration could employ, The Daily Wire has learned.</p>
<p>The upcoming hearing, titled “Restoring Immigration Enforcement in America,” is set to take place on Wednesday, January 22nd, just two days after Donald Trump is inaugurated as the 47th president. It will be the first House Judiciary Committee hearing of the year, and &#8220;will examine how the Biden Administration dismantled immigration enforcement and what the Trump administration can do to restore integrity to America’s immigration system,” according to a description of the hearing obtained by The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>“The American people gave Republicans a mandate in November when they put us in the driver’s seat,” said Texas Rep. Brandon Gill (R.) who will participate in the upcoming hearing. “The Judiciary Committee Republicans are ready to hit the ground running, restore law and order back in our home districts, and secure the southern border.”</p>
<p>“With President Trump as our leader, we have momentum and energy as we hold our first Judiciary hearing of the year,” he told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Just under <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/nationwide-encounters">11 million</a> illegal alien encounters were between fiscal year 2021 and October 2024 under the Biden administration. The figure marks a colossal increase from President Donald Trump’s first term, when there were roughly 3 million nationwide encounters with illegal aliens. The Biden administration has even rushed to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-biden-races-to-sell-off-border-wall-parts-before-trump-takes-office">sell off border wall material</a> for pennies on the dollar in the final days before Trump returns to office, The Daily Wire revealed.</p>
<p>Trump has pledged to strengthen border security through a slate of different policies and carry out the largest mass deportation operation in American history, which is expected to initially focus on illegal aliens who have been convicted of violent crimes.</p>
<p>A series of polls have found that Americans are widely supportive of Trump’s immigration agenda. Nearly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/americans-strongly-supportive-of-trumps-mass-deportation-agenda-poll-finds">60 percent</a> of respondents to one poll said that they would support an effort to deport all illegal aliens from the United States, not just those who have been convicted of a violent crime. One poll from this summer found that a majority of American adults want <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/majority-of-americans-want-fewer-immigrants-poll-finds">less immigration</a> into the United States.</p>
<p>Trump is expected to swiftly reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy upon retaking office. The measure, which required migrants to remain in Mexico while their asylum claims were processed, was ditched by the Biden administration, which allowed migrants to be released into the United States. Some migrants were released into the country by the Biden administration and given immigration court dates <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/11/migrants-admitted-to-us-given-2035-immigration-court-dates/">in 2035</a>.</p>
<p>Trump has nominated South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to serve as Secretary of Homeland Security and tapped former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tom Homan as his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trumps-border-czar-has-a-plan-to-stop-illegal-immigration">border czar</a>.</p>
<p>Noem said today in her confirmation hearing that the Trump administration will end the CBPOne App, a controversial program that allows migrants to remotely schedule their asylum appointments, increasing the flow of migrants into the United States.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
