President Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have increased illegal alien arrests in Georgia.
Immigration arrests have increased by 367% between January 10 and July 31, Breitbart reported.
This comes a little more than a year after 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was murdered by an illegal alien in Athens, Georgia.
The Peach State has seen an explosion in the number of illegal aliens flooding into it from all over the world.
More than three-quarters of a million migrants were reportedly living in Georgia as of last year, but the problem came to a head after Riley’s brutal murder made national news.
Now the nation is turning its attention to Georgia as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) touted ICE arrests that have soared with Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown, including some of the most dangerous criminals.
In a Wednesday post on X, DHS said:
“Under President Trump and @Sec_Noem, @ICEgov has arrested 4,500 illegal aliens in Georgia—a 367% increase compared to the Biden administration.”
🚨ICE arrests in Georgia SKYROCKET under Trump Administration
Under President Trump and @Sec_Noem, @ICEgov has arrested 4,500 illegal aliens in Georgia—a 367% increase compared to the Biden administration.
Here are some of the worst of the worst arrested in GA under @POTUS:

The DHS under Secretary Kristi Noem shared mug shots and information on the crimes committed by some of these offenders picked up in the ICE raids.
They included several criminals who committed sex crimes against children, including Mexican national Juan Carlos Mendoza-Gonzalez, a convicted child molester and statutory rapist.
They also picked up Honduran Luis Alfredo Betancourth-Euceda, who was convicted of two counts of sexual battery against a child under 16, and Venezuelan national Robert Edward Matos-Madueno, who has been accused of sexual battery against a child under 16, sexual molestation, and false imprisonment.
ICE arrested Eduardo Garcia-Gonzalez of Mexico, who is accused of drug crimes, child molestation, and two counts of sexual battery against a child under 16.
Matilde Romero Sanchez of Mexico, who was arrested for child molestation and incest, and Fernando Hernandez-Martine of Mexico, who was convicted of two counts of child molestation, were also rounded up by ICE.
Others faced drug charges, like Osvaldo Rodriguez-Padilla of Mexico, and drug and weapons charges, like Flavio Delabra Rebollar of Mexico.
Immigration enforcement also apprehended Jacob Aguillon-Martinez of Mexico, who was arrested after a vehicle hit-and-run and charged with homicide-negligent manslaughter.
These convicts and alleged criminals are not the hardworking immigrants Democrats claim their lax polices are meant to give a helping hand to.
Instead, these are people accused or convicted of some of the worst crimes who make Georgia’s cities and neighborhoods unsafe for Americans.
While this widespread roundup is an excellent move from the Trump administration to fix a problem left by his predecessor, then-President Joe Biden, it comes too late for Laken Riley.
According to the New York Post, 26-year-old illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra, who had ties to the brutal Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, attacked Riley while she was out for her morning run on the campus of the University of Georgia on Feb. 22, 2024.
Ibarra attempted to sexually assault Riley, but the young woman fought back for an agonizing 20 minutes.
It ended when Ibarra smashed Riley’s head into the ground and smothered her.
Riley placed a call to 911, but she passed away before police found her bloodied body.
Department of Homeland Security’s Tricia McLaughlin blamed Biden for his “open border policies” that allowed the criminal illegal alien into the country to commit crimes like Riley’s murder, which she cited when announcing the recent arrests.
“President Trump promised to put Americans first and remove violent criminals from our country, and that’s exactly what we are doing,” McLaughlin said.
“Thanks to his and Secretary Noem’s leadership, ICE is once again empowered to remove the worst of the worst — including murderers, pedophiles, gang members, drug traffickers, and terrorists.”
“In Georgia alone, arrests of illegal aliens have increased by 367 percent,” she added.
It stands to reason from the rap sheets of these illegal immigrants apprehended that Trump has prevented more murders, rapes, and child molestations by unleashing ICE to clean up the problem.
These crimes are disgraceful, and the people who commit them are only in the U.S. because Biden and the Democrats welcomed them with open arms.
Trump is finally doing something about it, and what’s happening in Georgia is a very good start.
