That's some crazy statistics for one year. A LOT of drugs taken off the streets, a lot of criminals taken off the streets. A LOT of money saved on what it would have cost America to house these illegals. And the best part though is the people they saved!

Pence: In 2018, ICE Arrested More Than 34,000 Criminal Aliens, Removed 3,635 Gang Members

(CNSNews.com) – Vice President Mike Pence visited an ICE field office in Atlanta on Thursday and praised local ICE officials for their making 2,000 criminal arrests last year and seizing 7,000 pounds of narcotics in spite of Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms’ executive order prohibiting the city’s jail from receiving ICE detainees.

He also recognized the efforts of ICE agents nationwide in making more than 34,000 criminal arrests of illegals in 2018 alone.

“In a time when Immigration and Customs Enforcement has come under criticism by some politicians – not only here in Georgia, but across the country where it’s become fashionable to be critical of the men and women of ICE - it’s important to remember what this agency accomplishes every day for the American people,” Pence said.

“In 2018 alone, ICE agents and officers made more than 34,000 criminal arrests of illegal immigrants in this country, together, removing 3,635 gang members from our streets, over 900 criminals affiliated with MS-13. You seized nearly 10,000 pounds of opioids, 2,700 pounds of fentanyl, and rescued more than 300 victims of human trafficking, including 800 children who were victims of exploitation. That is a record of remarkable success, and the American people are grateful to the people of ICE,” he said.
