   (The Center Square) – More than two million illegal foreign nationals   
   have been removed from the U.S. in the first 10 months of President   
   Donald Trump’s second term.   
      
   This includes 1.6 million who agreed to voluntarily self-deport and more   
   than 527,000 who were apprehended and deported, the Department of   
   Homeland Security announced on Tuesday.   
      
   “Self-deportation is a dignified way to leave the U.S. and will allow   
   illegal aliens to avoid being encountered by U.S. Immigration and   
   Customs Enforcement” agents, DHS said when announcing a new   
   self-deportation initiative. The cost of the stipend for those who agree   
   to self deport is projected to be 70% less than being arrested,   
   processed for removal and deported by ICE agents, DHS said. “Currently   
   the average cost to arrest, detain, and remove an illegal alien is   
   $17,121.”   
      
   The record number of removals is a marked reversal of Biden   
   administration policies, which ushered in at least 14 million illegal   
   border crossers. Meanwhile, an additional 700,000 criminal foreign   
   nationals backed up an ICE docket for removal, The Center Square   
   reported.   
      
   Biden administration policies ushered in millions of inadmissible   
   foreign nationals through more than a dozen parole programs Congress   
   identifies as illegal. Roughly one million who weren’t properly vetted   
   were also released into the country using a newly created CBP One phone   
   app, The Center Square reported.   
      
   Under the Trump administration, the app was repurposed as the CBP Home   
   app and work authorization and other privileges that accompanied it were   
   terminated.   
      
   To quickly facilitate removals, DHS began offering $1,000 stipends and   
   free flights home for those choosing to self deport using the app.   
   Eligible participants include non-violent foreign nationals without   
   criminal histories, who were encountered or apprehended by CBP or Border   
   Patrol agents at a port of entry or between ports of entry, categorical   
   parolees whose legal presence in the U.S. expired or will soon expire,   
   and whose Temporary Protected Status was terminated, CBP explains.   
      
   The Trump administration also began requiring all illegal foreign   
   nationals in the U.S. to register with the federal government in   
   accordance with federal law. Those who don’t and who fail to self-deport   
   face fines of up to $1,000 a day, The Center Square reported.   
      
   DHS also launched Project Homecoming in May, using chartered flights to   
   return individuals and families, including young children, to their home   
   countries. They received travel assistance, a $1,000 stipend, “and   
   preserved the possibility they could one day return to the United States   
   legally,” The Center Square reported.   
      
   The administration also expedited enforcement operations to arrest   
   violent criminals and those with removal orders illegally living in the   
   U.S. nationwide. Targeted operations have led to the arrest of hundreds   
   of thousands, federal detention, and removal proceedings before federal   
   immigration judges.   
      
   Every day, ICE officers and partnering law enforcement agencies are   
   arresting violent felons with extensive criminal histories, including   
   fugitives wanted by authorities, alleged terrorists, murderers,   
   pedophiles, sex abusers, drug traffickers, human smugglers, and many   
   who’ve been previously deported dozens of times.   
      
   The majority of ICE arrests, 70%, are of violent criminals charged with   
   or convicted of a crime in the U.S., it says.   
      
   Since implementing enhanced targeted operations, attacks against ICE   
   officers increased by more than 1000%, The Center Square reported.   
   Despite the government shutdown, ICE and federal law enforcement   
   officers are still arresting violent offenders. Those doxxing and   
   threatening ICE officers are also being arrested, many of whom are U.S.   
   citizens, The Center Square reported.   
      
   “Rioters and sanctuary politicians have not deterred ICE or CBP in their   
   mission to protect the homeland from those who have no right to be in   
   America. Day-in and day-out, DHS law enforcement is removing the worst   
   of the worst criminal illegal aliens from American communities,   
   including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, drug dealers,” and others, DHS   
   said.   
      
   DHS Secretary Kristi Noem also launched a domestic and international ad
