Enforcement: Immigration Enforcement and Cent Increase

enforcement: Overall, 41,300 people were arrested for deportation, a 38 per cent increase from a comparable period last year, according to CTV. Nearly 11,000 had no criminal convictions, more than double the number of immigrants without criminal convictions arrested during a comparable period last year. The numbers released by Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan provide a snapshot of how the new president is carrying through on his campaign promises to make immigration enforcement a top priority. Homan said the increase in arrests stems from stepped up immigration enforcement, adding that morale has improved among agents under Trump because they are allowed to do their job. Even so, deportations were down from late January to late April compared with a year ago despite the new president's stepped up immigration enforcement pledge. Their job is to enforce the law, and that is exactly what they're doing, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
