The new Pentagon deployments are part of the Trump administration’s ‘whole-of-government’ strategy to secure the southern border and enforce immigration laws.
More than 250 protesters outside harassed and blocked federal officers during the operation, during which four workers were detained, officials reported.
Around 790 of those arrested during the operation had criminal convictions or charges, while 277 had final removal orders but remained in the U.S. illegally.
Miller said that more arrests are needed to remove illegal immigrants who were “unchecked” and “unvetted” because they have committed crimes against Americans.
