All ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARRESTED ARE CRIMINALS, SAYS KAROLINE LEAVITT

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was taking questions during her first press briefing since President Donald Trump returned to the White House last week when she was asked about the mass arrests.

"The 3,500 arrests that ICE (U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement) has made so far since President Trump came back into office. Can you just tell us the numbers? How many have a criminal record versus those who are just in the country illegally," one reporter asked.

Karoline Leavitt replied:

"All of them, because they illegally broke our nation's laws, and therefore, they are criminals as far as this administration goes.”

"I know the last administration didn't see it that way. So it's a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal, but that's exactly what they are."

ICE arrested 1,000 people and lodged 554 detainers on Sunday alone.
