Were is the news feed on this story?? 1378 gang members arrested is big news.

1/3 gang members are illegal, too.

The MSM is so biased in this country. This is a big story. No coverage on abc, cbs, nbc.......

The operation, which ran from March 26 through May 6, targeted gang members and associates involved in transnational criminal activity, including drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human smuggling, sex trafficking, murder and racketeering.

According to ICE, of the 1,378 total arrested, 933 were U.S. citizens, and 1,095 were confirmed as gang members or affiliates. Also, 104 of those arrested were affiliated with the dreaded MS-13 gang, eight of whom illegally crossed the border as unaccompanied minors.

ICE is actually doing their job... something they weren't allowed to do when Obama was in office. They are hardly out of control.

And your attitude is a disgrace.

Yes, good question!

(Not that I would care if ALL members of violent gangs would be eliminated from the U.S. Too bad we don't have another continent similar to Australia that we could send them to! Give them enough tools and supplies for the first two years to enable them establish some kind of society, and then just leave them to their own devices.)

P.S ON EDIT: Thanks to Listener2307's post below, I looked it up. Apparently, they have the right!

https://www.ice.gov/overview

FROM THE LINK --

Investigating Illegal Movement of People and Goods

ICE special agents, officers and attorneys enforce provisions of approximately 400 federal statutes. This large and diverse body of laws is reflected in the wide array of offices, programs and projects that make up ICE. People are smuggled and trafficked, while children are sexually exploited at home and abroad.

Illegal trade, in a very general sense, predominately involve guns, money and drugs, but ICE’s responsibilities extend much further into all kinds of illegal and counterfeit merchandise coming into the country. For instance, ICE’s responsibilities include the repatriation of cultural treasures out of the country to original owners abroad, and combatting the trade of child pornography and much more.

The article told you...
...."transnational criminal activity, including drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human smuggling, sex trafficking, murder and racketeering".

ICE is charged with "Investigating illegal movement of people and goods". At that point they do not care where you are from. If you are here illegally then you have moved "people" illegally.

It's not hard.

Why are they arresting US citizens you ask.

Think about it some.

Arrest 1st then check their citizenship.
Now, how would they know if they were citizens upon arrest???



So many of you out there quick to judge, put down, and slam.

The operation, which ran from March 26 through May 6, targeted gang members and associates involved in transnational criminal activity, including drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human smuggling, sex trafficking, murder and racketeering.

I think this awesome and great progress!
Good start. Trump administration is finally doing something positive.

Murder is now a customs and immigration crime? Really?

the point is if a few dozen US citizens were arrested I would presume they were simply conspirators with aliens in illegal activity. But this sounds the other way around...they are chasing Americans rather than immigrants.

And I would think the charter of ICE would be to get rid of illegal aliens particularly of the criminal sort. If they are catching two thirds Americans it would raise questions about whether resources where being properly directed.

Now maybe it is true that illegal custom and immigration actions are run by mostly Americans. But I have heard no one make that claim.

So is the drug, arms, people smuggling being run by aliens or by Americans?
