ICE: 350% More Illegals Deported Under Obama than Trump
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) took to social media to quell what it calls “dangerous and irresponsible” stories that allege the agency is executing “roundups” of illegal immigrants for deportation [because of the Trump administration].
Untrue, ICE said in a tweet.
Reports of ICE checkpoints and sweeps or “roundups” are false, dangerous and irresponsible.

ICE arrested nearly 700 illegals over recent operations, saying 75 percent of those had criminal records.
Also true, says ICE: One President Obama operation alone in 2012 netted 350 percent more illegal fugitives.
