STANDING WITH ICE AND CBP: President Donald J. Trump resolutely supports the brave heroes of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
- President Trump is holding an event today to salute the brave heroes of ICE and CBP.
- President Trump has made clear that he will stand with these men and women and oppose any effort to undermine the work they do to enforce our laws and secure our borders.
- Calls to abolish ICE are a grave betrayal of these law enforcement officers and the noble sacrifices they make to uphold our laws, secure our borders, and protect our safety.
ENFORCING OUR LAWS AND SECURING OUR BORDERS: ICE and CBP work tirelessly to uphold the rule of law by enforcing our immigration laws and securing our borders.
- ICE and CBP are responsible for enforcing our immigration laws and securing our borders, without which we would have no borders, no nation, and utter anarchy.
- Abolishing ICE would effectively open our borders and nullify our immigration laws, as even those apprehended for illegally crossing our border could not be removed.
- Without ICE, anyone who illegally crosses our border, is released from detention, or overstays their visa would be able to remain in the United States indefinitely without removal.
- ICE removed 226,119 illegal aliens during fiscal year (FY) 2017.
- ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) made 143,470 administrative arrests in FY 2017.
- There were nearly 629,000 visa overstays in the United States in FY 2016.
PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES: ICE and CBP help prevent criminal illegal aliens, gang members, and deadly drugs from being able to flood into and remain in our communities.
- ICE and CBP play a vital role in protecting our safety by combatting the flow of criminal aliens, gang members, and deadly drugs across our borders and into our communities.
- Abolishing ICE would endanger the safety of all Americans and prevent the removal of criminal aliens, including members of the murderous, bloodthirsty MS-13 gang.
- ICE-Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) made 4,818 gang arrests in FY 2017, including nearly 800 arrests related to MS-13.
- In FY 2017, ICE ERO removed 5,396 suspected gang members from the United States.
- In FY 2017, ICE ERO arrested more than 127,000 criminal aliens, who were responsible for:
- More than 76,000 dangerous drug offenses;
- More than 48,000 assault offenses;
- More than 5,000 sexual assault offenses;
- More than 1,800 homicide offenses.
- ICE HSI made 11,691 narcotics-related arrests and seized 981,586 pounds of narcotics in FY 2017.
- ICE HSI is at the forefront of the war on opioids, seizing 2,370 pounds of fentanyl and 6,967 pounds of heroin in FY 2017.
- Those calling to abolish ICE should justify their position to the 518 human trafficking victims and 904 child exploitation victims rescued or identified by ICE HSI in FY 2017 alone.

Compare Trumps honoring the law enforcement by ICE with Obama’s treatment of “stupid” cops!
President Trump and anyone with a brain, which does not include democrats, knows that without ICE, we have little no border protection. What we need most right now is a massive wall along the border.
That’s right! the Democrats are Hypocrites, Liars. They should be on the side of U.S.A. and protect the Country.They always backwards mentally. They don’t accept the loss. They are not “Mature People” Our President Donald J. Trump is doing a Great JOB for the Country. Donald J. Trump 2020!!!
Thanks for your service. Thank you for protecting our families and children,
Build the wall.
i can’t believe that there are people in this country who think we should get rid of ICE and other good things that keep us safe – these idiots have sh…… for brains. i do hope that an illegal or ms13 comes to their area and does a number on them and their family. then tell me you want to abolish ICE
tessa d…..Maybe the DIMS are trying to get rid of ICE in their cocktails to save water for the planet. That would probably save a million gallons of water a day…
The majority of Patriotic Americans agree with President Trump.
It’s an era where right is called wrong and wrong is called right, just as the Bible speaks of in the book of Isaiah. Things will get worse in the days just before Jesus comes back is another thing it says in the Good Book.
The men and women of ICE and CBP put their lives on the line everyday to protect us and our country from Criminal Invaders. They have no way of knowing if the next guy they encounter is just someone trying to cross the boarder to get his share of the Free Bees promised by obama’s Socialist Regime or an armed drug dealer who would just as soon shoot them as look at them. These Open Boarder” lunatics embolden these Criminals with their talk of opening the boarders and disbanding ICE. If it were up to me, my order to ICE would not just be enforce the law with no tolerance but that anyone on the US side of the boarder that does not halt immediately is to be considered a target and deadly force is authorized.
ICE & CBP, God Bless you all and thank you with all my heart ?
While this statement may not be directly related to this particular commentary it is important for all Trump supporters to consider.
If most reasonable thinking people would think about their observations of the Left, Liberals and Democrats over the last two years they would see a group of people among them that are totally unhinged, irrational, hypocritical, liars, cheats, and their credibility is zero. We have been subjected to violent behavior, attacks on the Constitution, Religion, and the laws of the land. When people protect individuals who come here illegally and commit heinous crimes against other non citizens and citizens you have to know there is something wrong with the way they think. How can any American Citizen be against employing American Citizens, enforcing the laws of the land, and giving priority to American Citizens rather than Illegal’s, who we spend 135 billion dollars a year to support, as well as the tax break that has enabled business to flourish?
Everyone needs to think seriously about the direction you want this Country to take prior to voting in the 2018 elections. In 2016 despite all the projections we elected a President who has not only kept many of his promises against a stream of constant harassment but has actually turned things around in this Country for the better.
It is essential that we give President Trump a significant majority in the House and the Senate with people who will support him not continually try to undermine him. If you are pleased with the direction of the Country and tired of the continual assaults on our traditional values by the Left, Liberals and Democrats then it is essential that We The People get out and cast our votes for folks who will advance the Trump agenda. We will have only ourselves to blame if we fail to do this by thinking others will carry the day for us. Vote Republican for a better Country and allow the President to do the job he wants to do for us, the American People.
If you agree with my position here feel free to pass this on..
Keep up the great work President Trump! The best President ever! Not to mention the first lady she’s the best too!
If Illegal Aliens were not “Rewarded ” with Benefits off the backs of American Citizens, we could fund ICE Beautifully.
ICE deserves Raises & Funding for Additional Border Agents & we Americans want ICE to be supplied with the Best Equipment.
It’s time for DEMS & NEVER TRUMP RINOS to stop Demonizing the Border Agents, who risk their lives to protect America from the Dangerous, Illegal Alien Criminals.
LOVE THAT ICE!!!
It’s either ICE/BP or millions of red blooded US of A Patriots/military vets with sniper rifles and night vision scopes lined up every 50 meters. Take your pick. I will be there with my 6 mm HP Remington bolt action with 120 grain MJ lead tipped rounds at 3,300 fps muzzle velocity. Ammo is cheap compared to a socialist country with demowits and illegals running it. USN vet, 1966-1969; HM, FMF Corpsman “Doc” (USMC, PH); the “Big E” (CVN-65), USS Repose (AH-16), USS Lexington (CVT-16); Anchors Aweigh, Semper Fi, Ooorah; Freedom is NOT Free, It must be Bought and Paid for with Service, Sacrifice, Blood, Pain, Sweat and Tears.
Liberals- AREN’T
They are nasty HATERS.
True, red blooded Americans support them & Trump’s backing of them
Go ICE ! Increase their funding and build the big wonderful wall !!!!
The way President Trump honors law enforcement in this country, is the way we should all honor and respect what the law represents. We are a land of laws and thats why Obama and Hillary have to be prosecuted for their crimes. They will never get away with what they perpetrated against the American people, otherwise we cannot profess to be a country where all people are equal under the law. President Trump is truly God’s Gift to the United States of America, let us all get behind him and help him to Keep America Great. Remember that a vote for a Democrat is a vote for Communism and all the ills and sickness it brings with it. Vote Republican and Keep America Great. GO TRUMP ! GO PENCE ! Sincerely, Martin Korab
You can judge people by the company they keep, racist omarosa and sharpton, two peas in a pod…..Careful nigros, your leaders and media are the ones pushing a race war, and considering the wounded to dead ratios in chiCongo, you dullards do NOT want to finally get the white right engaged. We have been patient awaiting afros evolving into humans, but our patience is NOT infinite…..
Of course illegals are wanting no ICE. Then they could come in, live, and mooch off all of OUR retirement and aid programs, without ever having to become a Citizen.
I say Double ICE’s funding and throw the illegals out! If they come back a year in jail at hard labor, a third time for illegal entry Shoot ’em!
IF they are willing to enter legally, Welcome Them!”
