ICE makes staggering 11K illegal migrant arrests in just 18 days — forcing agency to take over four federal prisons
"US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested an astounding 11,000 illegal migrants in the first 18 days of the Trump administration – which is already a third of the total busts the agency made last year under former President Joe Biden, The Post has learned.

The arrests, part of President Trump’s mass deportation offensive, collared a previously deported Mexican cartel hitman, according to Department of Homeland Security sources.
ICE agents in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, nabbed Fernando Vasquez-Mendoza, who was identified as a hired killer working for Cartel del Golfo, or Gulf Cartel, a Mexican drug trafficking organization and criminal syndicate.
The agency was expected to open four detention facilities Friday operated by the Bureau of Prisons to expand bed space, a high-level ICE source told The Post."
