The Trump administration is praising a drop in illegal immigrants

The Ministry of Internal Security boasts new data showing that the country’s illegal immigrant population has dropped 1.6 million people since January.

Statistics, from the Center for Immigration Studies, indicate that self-carrying leads to the trend. The federal government has provided financial incentives to illegal immigrants from and has disseminated advertisements by telling them that they can only apply to return if they go voluntarily.

“In less than 200 days, 1.6 million illegal immigrants left the population of the United States,” DHS secretary Kristi Noem said on Thursday. “It’s massive. It means safer streets, taxpayers, pressure on schools and hospital services and better job opportunities for Americans. Thank you, President Trump!”

The agency claims that more than a million people have opted for self-supporting via the Home CBP application. The DHS began to offer $ 1,000 and to travel for free from the United States to people seeking to leave the country and who have no criminal training outside their immigration status.

Meanwhile, Washington, DC, has become an example of the Trump administration to sanctuary cities across the country, while the Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered that the police cooperate with the Federal Immigration Authorities and put the Administrator of the Administration of the Application of Drugs Terry Cole in a role of police monitoring.

“I sent 33 letters to the mayors in this country. I think three or four of them were alone in California. Not surprising. I sent letters to all these mayors and governors saying:” You must comply. We want to know what you do to comply with our federal government, “said Bondi on” Hannity “on Thursday evening.

Tensions are raised between democratic leadership and federal police in sanctuary cities, because on Thursday there were immigration authorities outside Governor Gavin Newsom in Los Angeles, and at least one arrest was made by the American border patrol.

The Newsom office rejects the fears of the crime, defends the policies of the sanctuary in the midst of an increase in violence: “ false news’ ”

“We will not be intimidated by the weak little Donald Trump, the criminal president!” The Newsom office told Fox News Digital in an email.

Some New York leaders also make critical comparisons to reprimand the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

“When I look at the visuals of masked ice agents in the street, taking people from home, taking people who rightly arise for the court. It reminds me of something that some of my ancestors had to cross, which is the KKK,” said the member of the New York Municipal Council, Nantasha Williams, said this week.

Many Democrats have compared ice agents in the Nazis since Trump took office.

“I’m going to start with the flashing red light – Donald Trump’s modern Gestapo goes up people in the streets,” said the former vice -presidential candidate and Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, in May. “They are in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped to foreign dungeons of torture. No chance of setting up a defense. Not even a chance to embrace a loved one.

“I do not know any police service that regularly carries masks. We know that there are other groups that regularly wear masks. NSC-131 regularly has masks,” said the mayor of Boston Michelle Wu in June, referring to a neo-Nazi group.

The DHS says that ICE agents have faced a 1,000% increase in attacks since last year.

“We will not have and have not let this violence arrest or slow us down. Each day, our police continue to apply the law and stop the most depraved criminals, in particular pedophiles, terrorists, murderers, gang members and sex predators,” said Noem earlier this month while Ice seeks to hire thousands of agents.

President Trump praises the repression of immigration, as the administration says that efforts to withdraw illegal immigrants from the country will lead to less breaking of public resources.

“We want to stop crime. I think that if the Democrats are not strong on this issue, they will not be able to do it. I think it is a more important problem than all the other ridiculous things that love open borders,” he said on Thursday.
