News Topical, Digital Desk : US President Donald Trump, after taking oath as President, ordered to catch and deport illegal immigrants present in the country. After this, a crackdown was launched against a large number of people who crossed the border illegally without documents.
Many of them were also deported to their country. Now it is being claimed that in a recent meeting, Immigration and Custom Enforcement officials have been instructed to arrest 3000 illegal immigrants every day.
The target has increased threefold
American news website Axios has claimed in a report that Trump's close aide Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem asked to increase the number of arrests to 3000 per day in a meeting. This number is almost three times the previous target given to the officials.
Miller is the White House Deputy Chief of Staff. According to the website, Miller has asked the field office director and special agent in charge to increase the number of deportations. It was also said that after the meeting, the officers are afraid that they may lose their jobs if they do not meet the target.
According to a statistic, there has been a significant decrease in the number of people illegally entering the US border. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said that the administration is serious about deporting illegal immigrants as promised by Trump.
