ICE Will Be Given More Powers To Deter Crime

The conservatives and House Republicans are in a roll lately as they try to push and fulfill President Donald Trump's promised to make the "deportation force" even bigger and, potentially, more heavily armed.

The House Judiciary Committee is set to mark up multiple immigration bills, including one from committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte that would facilitate mass deportations. Borrowing from past successful legislation to bolster Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the bill would require deportation officers to have access to not just standard-issue handguns and stun guns, but also M-4 rifles or equivalents.

All Immigrants Arrested By ICE Are Either Illegals and Criminals

From January to mid-March, the President Donald Trump administration was reported to have detained 21,362 immigrants for deportation proceedings. The amount of arrests were a 32 percent increase from last year, which is in itself very impressive. And while the administration said most of them were convicted criminals, 5,441 will be convicted soon for committing an illegal act.

For instance, roughly half of the 675 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in February are in the United States illegally and committed several traffic violations, according to data obtained by The Washington Post.
