The Trump administration marked a major immigration enforcement milestone Wednesday, announcing that federal authorities have arrested more than 10,000 suspected gang members since President Donald Trump began his second term.
The arrests are part of the administration’s broader immigration enforcement campaign, which officials say is aimed at removing violent criminals from U.S. communities.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), those arrested have been accused of crimes including murder, assault with a deadly weapon, drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, robbery and extortion.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has delivered on the administration’s goal of making the country’s communities safer.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, ICE has arrested more than 10,000 gang members,” Mullin said in a statement.
“Many of these gang members were released into our country by Joe Biden,” he continued. “These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport.”
“Thanks to the Secure America Act, ICE is turbocharged to arrest even more gang members and criminals from American neighborhoods,” Mullin added.

DHS said the 10,000th suspected gang member arrested was Javier Hernandez Rosas, whom the agency identified as an alleged MS-13 member and an illegal immigrant from Mexico.
According to DHS, Rosas has prior convictions for cocaine possession and was previously arrested on charges including abduction and weapons possession.
The announcement came as Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said it reached a record staffing level this spring, with 21,471 agents — the highest in the agency’s 102-year history.
The administration has made border security a central priority during Trump’s second term. Officials say illegal immigration has declined by more than 87% compared with October 2024 levels.
