The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has intensified its operations in 2025, achieving significant arrests of undocumented immigrants with criminal records, with the goal of improving public safety and protecting U.S. citizens. In a joint operation with the FBI, DEA, U.S. Marshals Service, and ATF, ICE arrested 81 illegal immigrants in a recent operation carried out in March 2025. These actions reflect ICE's commitment to maintaining public safety and enforcing immigration laws across the country, focusing on individuals who pose significant threats due to their criminal backgrounds.
