John Barrasso: “70% of ICE arrests are illegal immigrant criminals.”

“For the first time in 17 years, the backlog of immigration cases is actually going down. Immigration judges can finally do their job. Open border rubber stamping judges are gone. Interior enforcement is making our communities safer. 70% of ICE arrests are illegal immigrant criminals. They're individuals charged with or convicted of crimes in the United States. During the week of Thanksgiving, ICE worked overtime. They arrested a convicted murderer in California, a convicted rapist in Tennessee, and a convicted drug trafficker in Delaware.” (02:24–02:28)
