In the United States, there are 1.6 million illegal immigrants with valid deportation orders, of which about half have convictions, said Mr. manager of the Immigration and Customs Control Office (ICE), Todd Lyons.
Lyons announced these figures during a Thursday proceeding before the legislature Committee on interior safety and Government Affairs, faced with harsh criticism from Democrats and left-wing activists for the repression of illegal immigration by president Donald Trump's administration.
According to the head of the ICE, around 800,000 of those with valid deportation orders have convictions.
The final removal order means the minute erstwhile the US authorities have the right to expel a foreigner who has violated immigration regulations.
However, persons may proceed to appeal or request to be deported.
These warrants were not issued by the ICE or the Department of National Security, but ‘by an immigration justice whose Department of Justice is independent of the Department of Immigration and Customs Control’ – Lyons explained.
According to the Director, Minnesota ‘16 840 final orders’, where tension reaches zenith after the fatal shooting of 2 U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by national agents during fresh law enforcement operations.
These incidents have provoked outrage to the public and protests across the country.
During the hearing, Republican Senator James Lankford defended ICE agents, arguing that “They stopped this chaos” thanks to his work and that thousands of arrests are carried out in accordance with procedures.
On Thursday, Tom Homan, liable for Trump's border security, announced the completion of Operation ICE in Minnesota.
"A crucial simplification is already ongoing this week and will proceed next week" – he said.
Minnesota politician Tim Walz welcomed this message in a post on X, stressing that "immigration is the core of our identity".
According to the governor, after fresh events, the state will have a "long way to rebuild".
White home spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in an interview with Fox News earlier this week that Trump "keeps his promise to carry out the largest mass deportation in history"that will focus on "the worst of the worst criminals among illegal immigrants".
