Department of Homeland Security chief John Kelly commented on the latest immigration actions, denying that it was a “round-up.”
“They’re not rounding anyone up,” Kelly said in San Diego. “The people that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) apprehend are people who are illegal, and then some.”
There are about 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, about half of whom are from Mexico.
