In a big win for law and order, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, working hand-in-hand with Florida state police, rounded up almost 800 illegal aliens during just a four-day sweep this week.
The massive operation, part of a bold multi-agency immigration enforcement effort, shows what real leadership on border security looks like — and it’s only getting started. ICE officials called this a “first-of-its-kind” partnership between federal and state agencies, signaling a new era of aggressive immigration enforcement.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t mince words about what this means for criminal illegal aliens hiding in America. She delivered a clear warning:
“We’re coming for you,” Noem declared in a powerful message on social media.
The crackdown, officially named “Operation Tidal Wave,” saw Florida Highway Patrol troopers team up with ICE officers to conduct targeted arrests across the state.
Within just the first four days, authorities successfully arrested nearly 800 individuals — a number that shows how rampant the illegal immigration crisis has become under years of weak border enforcement. And this is only the beginning.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a strong ally of President Trump and a fierce advocate for tough immigration policies, proudly celebrated Florida’s leadership role:
“Florida is leading the nation in active cooperation with the Trump administration for immigration enforcement and deportation operations,” DeSantis posted on Saturday.
Under DeSantis, Florida has consistently stood on the front lines against Biden’s open-border chaos, putting the safety and security of American citizens first.
The arrests weren’t just border jumpers looking for work. This operation netted some extremely dangerous criminals, highlighting just how critical strict immigration enforcement is.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin revealed that those arrested included:
- A Colombian murderer
- Violent members of the brutal MS-13 and 18th Street gangs
- A Russian spy wanted by Interpol
Think about that: hardened killers, international spies, and gang thugs roaming freely inside our borders — until now.
These are not just “dreamers” or “asylum seekers” as the left loves to frame it. These are violent criminals who pose real threats to American families, and under President Trump’s leadership and partnerships with strong governors like DeSantis, they’re finally being taken off our streets.
According to ICE officials, Operation Tidal Wave is far from over. The initiative will continue, with the goal of rounding up even more dangerous illegal aliens who have slipped through the cracks under previous administrations.
This should serve as a massive wake-up call to the open-border crowd in Washington and beyond: under a Trump-led America, the days of looking the other way are numbered.
Florida is proving what strong immigration enforcement looks like — and the rest of the country would do well to follow its lead.
