There are nearly two million illegal immigrants freely roaming the US who have been handed deportation orders or have criminal histories, The Post has learned.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is tracking around 1.5 million migrants who have already been ordered to leave the country by a judge and, disturbingly, roughly 423,000 more who are convicted criminals, according to data from the agency.
However, Homeland Security sources warn that it’s unlikely President Trump’s mass deportation campaign will result in the removal of all two million targets as they attempt to chip away at the mountain of cases.
“That’s far more time-consuming to track down, surveil and arrest aliens. We have arrested a lot of aliens with removal orders just on random encounters,” a source said.
“Also, just because someone has a removal order doesn’t mean we can remove them. At least not immediately,” the source added.
