Federal agents recently arrested 189 illegal immigrants in and around Washington, D.C., following President Trump's executive order to clean up the city and crack down on illegal immigration.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Virginia Department of Corrections; FBI Washington Field Office; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Drug Enforcement Administration; U.S. Marshals Service; and U.S. State Department Diplomatic Security Service all participated in the arrests last week, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.
“Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and this administration’s focus on law and order, these arrests represent a major step forward in making Washington, D.C., safer for legal citizens and their families,” outgoing U.S. Attorney Ed Martin said in a statement on Tuesday. “These arrests make clear that violating our nation’s immigration laws will not be ignored.”
