SO FAST!
Federal officers swept into sanctuary cities on President Trump’s first full day in office Tuesday, nabbing 308 illegal migrant criminals — including an attempted murderer and a child molester — to hold them for deportation.
The coast-to-coast dragnet — a multi-agency effort led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — picked up felons in and around Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Washington, DC, and Miami, a senior Trump administration official said.
Before now, border czar Tom Homan has promised there will be a renewed effort to boot 700,000 illegal migrants who have committed crimes from the US — and sanctuary cities will not be spared.
Homan has said ICE officers have compiled a ‘target sheet’ of the illegal migrants with criminal records whom they’re looking to arrest and deport.
‘So, they’re out there right now looking for the most serious public safety threats and throughout the country, we’re putting them back to work,’ Homan said of ICE.
Trump’s campaign promised a roundup of illegal immigrants in the US of historic proportions. Under President Joe Biden’s open borders policies, some 8 million people entered the US illegally — an influx that rivals the days of Ellis Island.
A White House official gave The Post details of some of the other migrants taken into ICE custody on Tuesday.
Sex offender Edward Marlon Rauda-Aldnada, 56, of El Salvador, was arrested in Silver Spring, Maryland, just north of Washington, DC.
Jose Barco-Chirino, a Venezuelan national, was taken into custody at Colorado State Prison in Canon City, Colo., where he was serving time after being convicted of attempted murder, extreme indifference and felony menacing with a real or simulated weapon.
He will remain in ICE custody until an immigration judge can rule on deportation proceedings.
Trump is even preparing to send 10,000 troops to the border as part of his order for the US military to secure the nation’s frontiers.
