Federal immigration agents on Tuesday arrested five illegal immigrants from Guatemala in Warren, one of several busts that nabbed previously deported migrants and other criminals in recent days.
“On Tuesday, Detroit Station agents, in partnership with local enforcement, arrested 5 illegal aliens from Guatemala in Warren, Michigan,” Detroit Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Morris posted to X. “All are being processed for deportation with 1 of the 5 facing a felony re-entry charge.”

Charges filed include alien present without admission, alien inadmissibility, immigrant without an immigrant visa, re-entry of removed aliens, and alien previously removed, according to the post.
The arrest in Warren followed just one day after agents arrested three others in Lincoln Park and Allen Park.
“On Monday, Gibraltar Station agents arrested 3 illegal aliens, including a Mexican man captured in a targeted law enforcement action previously removed 3 times,” Morris posted to X. “In a separate incident, agents arrested 2 illegal aliens from Ecuador in partnership with local law enforcement investigating retail fraud case in Allen Park. All face removal from the United States.”

Since President Donald Trump was sworn in to his second term in January, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deported nearly 400,000 illegal aliens, including at least 47,885 with charges or convictions for assault, 16,552 with charges or convictions for sexual assaults and 2,699 with charges or convictions for homicides.
“President Trump has been so extremely successful in the policies he’s put in place and the laws that his team has enforced to make sure that we stop that invasion that was coming over our border, and that we’ve made sure we put Americans first and their safety and their families first,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference last weekend.
“And we have now for the last several months had zero illegal people, and illegal aliens and criminals released into our country,” she said to a thundering applause. “In fact, we’ve deported almost 400,000 people, but because of our messaging campaign in other countries and here in the United States, we’ve had 1.6 million people voluntarily say, ‘I’m going to go home.’”
Noem noted 70% of illegal immigrants detained by federal agents in the largest deportation operation in U.S. history “have criminal charges against them.”
“So these are murderers and rapists, human traffickers and drug traffickers, dangerous people who were in our communities violating our kids and our family members, killing them with poison,” she said. “All of the communities are so incredibly grateful to have a president who cares about them, and their safety.”
The deportation operation has also come with cost savings for taxpayers, with Noem noting most in the country illegally rely on social programs that provide food, housing, and other expenses.
“These 2 million individuals that have left our country, … the vast majority of them were signed up for our social programs, for our healthcare, for housing,” she said. “Just by those individuals leaving our country and going home and not being here illegally anymore, has saved us over $15 billion in costs to our budget.”
“Just by (Trump) giving me the flexibility … to do the right thing, we have saved $13 billion just in the Department of Homeland Security in making things more efficient, negotiating better contracts, making sure we’re spending our money on things that we should be and not on things that had no responsibility to be paid in the Department of Homeland Security,” Noem said.
While immigration officials have put an end to the Biden administration’s catch and release policies, legal immigration is booming under the 47th POTUS, the DHS secretary said.
“What most people aren’t talking about, and the news doesn’t talk about, is that President Trump also has the highest naturalization rate,” Noem said, “which means more people are becoming U.S. citizens under his leadership than ever before, because they’re doing it the right way.”
