Trump tops 50,000 migrant removals, including some at large fugitives
Share and Follow

Back when Ivan Oramas and Santos Maradiaga-Villalta were told to leave the country, George W. Bush was the President, and the idea of the iPhone seemed far-fetched.

That was over two decades ago—yet both men were arrested this week, according to federal data reviewed by DailyMail.com. 

They were among over 50,000 illegal immigrants removed so far, a Department of Homeland Security official revealed to DailyMail.com.

A memo from immigration authorities revealed that President Donald Trump’s administration had recently carried out enforcement actions that included the arrests of Oramas and Maradiaga-Villalta.

Oramas, 61, is a citizen of Cuba with a rap sheet including convictions for sexual battery and aggravated assault.

His sexual battery case caused serious injury, according to his charges in the file. 

ICE Houston nabbed Oramas this week, enforcing a deportation order first handed down in October 2003—21 years overdue. 

Maradiaga-Villalta, a 40-year-old individual from Honduras, has been convicted of bringing aliens into the U.S. He was taken into custody by ICE in Phoenix. His initial deportation order was issued way back in January 2006, marking a gap of 19 years before action was taken.

Now, as Trump’s administration continues ramping up its crackdown on illegal immigration, these long-evading, at large fugitives are getting taken in after decades of delays. 

Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem announced that in conjunction with Border Czar Tom Homan, immigration officials have already apprehended over 20,000 at large illegal aliens since Trump was sworn in.  

‘That’s a 627% increase in monthly arrests compared to just 33,000 at large arrests under Biden for ALL of last year,’ she wrote in a post on X. 

In another post on the platform she bragged that DHS has slashed border encounters from 15,000 a day under Joe Biden to just 200 under Trump. 

It’s a ’15-year low,’ she wrote.  

Among the other criminals that surfaced in this week’s federal data were Guatemalan national Alexis Aquirre-Velasquez, 37, who was ordered out of the U.S. 12 years ago in February 2013. 

He was charged with four counts of indecent liberty with a child and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.   

The president has pledged to purge the U.S. of its ‘most dangerous’ unlawful immigrants through a sweeping deportation strategy that would result in the ‘largest deportation effort’ ever carried out. 

Recently, White House officials revealed to DailyMail.com that north of 6,000 migrants were deported in Trump’s first two weeks. 

ICE Atlanta arrested Alexis Aquirre-Velasquez, 37, a Guatemalan national. Authorities given him a final removal date in 2013, though he was just arrested recently. He was roaming freely and had convictions of indecent liberty with a child

Migrants have been airlifted to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as well—a location that the president intends to detain approximately 30,000 aliens, including terrorists, as ICE facilities reach their limits.  

It comes after Caleb Vitello, the former acting director of ICE was reassigned earlier this month.

It came as deportations of migrants have lagged expectations, a senior Trump official said.

A spokesman told the Wall Street Journal he was ‘actually being elevated so he is no longer in an administrative role.’

Instead, he would be ‘overseeing all field and enforcement operations: finding, arresting, and deporting illegal aliens.’

He was the third senior ICE official to be removed this month.
