The Trump administration marked a major immigration enforcement milestone, announcing that federal authorities have arrested more than 10,000 suspected gang members since President Donald Trump began his second term.

Arrests Part of Broader Immigration Enforcement Campaign

The arrests are part of the administration’s broader immigration enforcement campaign, which officials say is aimed at removing violent criminals from U.S. communities. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), those arrested have been accused of crimes including murder, assault with a deadly weapon, drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, robbery, and extortion.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has delivered on the administration’s goal of making the country’s communities safer. “Under President Trump’s leadership, ICE has arrested more than 10,000 gang members,” Mullin said in a statement. “Many of these gang members were released into our country by Joe Biden. These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport.”

The 10,000th suspected gang member arrested was Javier Hernandez Rosas, whom the agency identified as an alleged MS-13 member and an illegal immigrant from Mexico. According to DHS, Rosas has prior convictions for cocaine possession and was previously arrested on charges including abduction and weapons possession.
