The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) have deported over 2,000 known or suspected terrorists since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025.
From Fox News:
DHS said ICE arrested more than 2,150 known or suspected terrorists between Jan. 20, 2025, and Sept. 9, 2026, and deported 2,015 during that period.
“As we reflect on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the brave men and women of ICE continue to carry out their duty to protect the homeland and keep the American people safe,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in the department’s announcement.
Mullin said ICE had arrested more than 2,100 known or suspected terrorists and deported more than 2,000, adding that the anniversary underscored the department’s commitment to “eternal vigilance.”
The list includes terrorists and members of designated foreign terrorist organizations:
In June, federal authorities arrested Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, a Mexican national DHS described as the suspected ringleader of an alleged mass-casualty plot targeting UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.
DHS said Alvarez overstayed a visitor visa that expired in 2001 and later received DACA status in 2014. ICE lodged a detainer following his arrest.
Days earlier, ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) arrested Felipe Linares De Oliveira Dell Aquilla, a Brazilian national DHS identified as a former commander of two designated foreign terrorist organizations.
Authorities said they recovered a handgun, cash and multiple electronic devices after a vehicle and foot pursuit in North Carolina.
DHS also announced that ICE arrested some more of the “worst of the worst illegal aliens” on September 9.
“Yesterday, ICE law enforcement arrested murderers, pedophiles, stalkers, and other dangerous illegal aliens,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. “Despite sanctuary politicians’ attempts to harbor them, there will be no safe haven for illegal aliens under President Trump’s leadership. We will always put America first by arresting and removing illegal aliens who should have never been in our country at all. Deporting illegal aliens saves lives.”
The Biden administration caused a border crisis, allowing millions of people to enter America with no problems.
We saw numerous military-aged males from China, Africa, and the Middle East cross the border during Biden’s term.
In May 2024, the Border Patrol reported that agents encountered over 52,000 Special Interest Aliens since October 1, 2023, the first day of the 2024 fiscal year.
Special interest aliens are those who come from countries with possible security concerns.
Those countries include Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Pakistan, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.
