U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested and deported almost one-third fewer illegal immigrants this year because of the ongoing CCP virus pandemic, the agency said in its latest report.
From October 2019 to September 2020, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officials conducted 103,603 arrests, a 28 percent decline from the previous fiscal year, according to the report (pdf). Ninety percent of those arrested have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.
