The FBI disclosed Tuesday it has made more than 10,000 immigration arrests since President Donald Trump took office, opening an additional front in the battle to reverse Biden-era open-border policies by focusing on gang and criminal elements among the alien population.
Most of the attention since Trump took office on Jan. 20 has been focused on the Homeland Security Department and its Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency that takes the lead in deportations.
But officials said FBI Director Kash Patel has quietly shifted scores of agents to focus on criminal illegal aliens, especially violent drug gang and human trafficking ring members, speeding their capture and putting them in line for deportation.
