Dozens of undocumented immigrants arrested in Trump’s home county in Florida

Trump pushes to include immigration, energy policy in bill

President Donald Trump's agenda places a heavy focus on a reconciliation budget bill that could include reforms on everything from immigration to tax cuts, energy policy and more.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - Amid President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested recently 32 criminal illegal immigrants in the president’s home county in Florida.

Crimes committed by those arrested include drug-related offenses, prostitution, robbery, fraud and driving under the influence.

The agency announced on Monday that officials arrested 32 criminal illegal aliens through "targeted immigration enforcement operations" in Palm Beach County on Jan. 27 and 28.

Trump’s permanent residence, Mar-a-Lago, is in Palm Beach County, which is a highly affluent county known for its pristine beaches and golf courses.

Who are those arrested?

What they're saying:

According to the Monday announcement, ICE officers and agents based in Miami, in coordination with the U.S. Border Patrol, arrested criminal immigrants from Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Cuba and Nicaragua.

Though the ICE statement did not name any of the detainees, the agency said those arrested included a 30-year-old Venezuelan male convicted of drug possession, robbery and resisting an officer; a 44-year-old Haitian female convicted of battery, drug possession and prostitution; a 24-year-old Cuban male convicted of fraud through illegal use of a credit card and larceny; and a 25-year-old Guatemalan male convicted of cocaine possession and driving under the influence.

Florida lawmakers propose 'TRUMP' immigration bill

Florida lawmakers have proposed a 75-page bill to tackle immigration in the state, and seemingly named it after President Donald Trump. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called a special session to tackle immigration and other topics, but Florida lawmakers quickly ended that session and started their own. Now, DeSantis has criticized the proposed bill as missing the mark.

Fox News Digital reached out to ICE to obtain information on the detained criminal migrants’ identities but had not heard back at the time of publication.

The ICE statement said that all those arrested will remain detained pending their removal from the U.S. or hearing before an immigration judge.

Illegal immigration crackdown

The backstory:

This comes as ICE and federal authorities under the new Trump administration have unleashed a string of targeted operations, arresting several thousand illegal immigrants since Trump’s second term began on Jan. 20.

ICE officers have been seen carrying out raids of homes, work sites and other establishments, while deportations also have ramped up, with the Trump administration beginning flights this week, transporting the most violent migrants to Guantánamo Bay.

Federal agents crackdown on immigration across the United States

Federal agents are cracking down on immigration with raids happening here in Florida and across the country. According to the Federal Government, there have been more than 7,000 criminal migrants arrested across the country.

‘Day Without Immigrants’ protests

Local perspective:

A movement aimed at demonstrating how vital immigrants are to the U.S. economy was planned for Monday across the country.

The "Day Without Immigrants" movement encouraged immigrants to refrain from going to work, school and shopping.

Hundreds of people participated in the protest in Central Florida.

One of the protests, organized by Paloma Quintana and Juliana Trejo Ramirez, took place in Sanford.

The peaceful protest ended after police intervened due to safety and traffic concerns, with no arrests or injuries reported.

Hundreds of people lined U.S. 17/92 near West 27th Street to take part in Monday’s "Day without Immigrants" protest.

What happens now?

What's next:

According to a separate ICE statement, the agency has been conducting "enhanced enforcement operations" in Chicago and New York, with routine daily operations taking place throughout the country. The agency said it is currently utilizing a "whole-of-government approach" to target criminal aliens with no legal basis for removal.

In many cases, ICE is partnering with the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Marshals Service to carry out these arrests.
