U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office deported 174 criminal aliens, including 24 gang members, to Mexico between March 17–28, who, as a group, account for 610 criminal convictions and 415 removals from the U.S.

“This is just a small snapshot of the amazing work that the brave men and women at ICE do every day to enhance public safety in Southeast Texas,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford. “Each day they put their lives on the line to apprehend and remove dangerous criminal aliens, transnational gang members and foreign fugitives who have illegally entered the U.S. and are preying on innocent, hardworking Texans. Fueled by our unwavering commitment to protect the public from harm, and united in our determination to restore integrity to our nation’s system of laws, ICE will continue to aggressively pursue and remove anyone who threatens the safety of our communities and the national security of our country.”

Good news
This is a good start, but we need to see these numbers DAILY. Illegal is illegal, no matter how nice they are..
Good, ship them all out. They have no place in a civilized society.
We need another sweep in Liberty and Montgomery counties, as well.
The day of the last round of whatever little amount of deportations took place in Colony Ridge, the traffic was nearly non existent after word got out.
That should tell you all you need to know about the number of wetbacks in the area.
This include Kings Colony in New Caney… that development slipped through the cracks.
Ship your racist white ahhhh out
But they were just here to pick vegetables and better their lives. Lol.
Good riddance… I voted for this. We just need 3,000 deportations a day for half a decade to undo the damage Shit Pants Biden has caused.
This is what I call ignorance… What happen to justice, to “no-one is above the law, especially when it comes to a crimal immigrant. But no, while everyone is so happy to see these immigrants been deported when they should be serving justice for their crimes. Now we know that immigrants don’t have to serve justice, even after killing or raping our American families. Because according to the Trump Administration they will just be deported. The much happier face is on the other side of the border. Cause now they are free from the American justice and the beginning of a new life, possibly even a identity change and the plan to return in about ..mmm let me see , 5 yrs, is going to be the kick in your ass I told you it was a bad idea. But hey lets all keep cheering up and be happy, hopefully now our taxes will lower down and we will be able to offered more things in these next yrs to come. After all that’s all what it seems like we all really want, right.
You’re right.
But honestly, after having my neighborhood terrorized by these animals for the last 8 years, I’m just happy to have the chance to have them the hell away from me and my family. I’ll settle for that.
