WV State Police & ICE Step Up Enforcement in West Virginia

Published | Video Starts at 04:34

It's now been one month since West Virginia and our state police and others really operated full time under the 287 program. And in this timeline, already, they've arrested 60 individuals who are in our country illegally. I previously announced that there were 37 arrests of illegal immigrants in just the first 11 days alone. Now I can say with certainty that the State Police, in coordination with ICE, made an additional 23 arrests, with just 18 this past Saturday. (04:34–04:42)

CLAIM
