Success Is Best Served With ICE—'Operation Tidal Wave' Nabs Hundreds of Illegal Aliens in Florida

Often, when I write about the massive number of illegal aliens that Joe Biden and his crew invited to unlawfully enter this country during his disastrous regime, I use water-based words like “deluge” and “tsunami” to describe the onslaught because I believe they encapsulate the issue.

Well, now it looks like a tidal wave is going up against that tsunami as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released some new details on social media about their latest efforts in Florida to repatriate violent illegal alien gang members and criminals:

In a first-of-its-kind partnership between state and federal partners, ICE Miami and Florida law enforcement arrested nearly 800 illegal aliens this week during the first four days of #OperationTidalWave — a massive, multi-agency, immigration enforcement crackdown.

@CBP provided extraordinary support during this operation. We appreciate our @DHSgov partner's commitment to public safety.

So far, they say they’ve picked up some real nasty characters:

In a groundbreaking joint effort, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Miami and Florida law enforcement agencies arrested nearly 800 illegal immigrants during the first four days of Operation Tidal Wave, a massive, multi-agency immigration enforcement crackdown.
Fox News obtained information on some of the ICE arrests from the ongoing operation, which include a convicted Colombian murderer, alleged MS-13 and 18th Street gang members and a Russian with an Interpol Red Notice for manslaughter.

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is a fan of the operation, and says his state is helping out any way it can:

White House Issues Stomach-Turning List of the 'Sick Criminals' Democrats Are Defending

Here are some of the "Florida fathers," "sons," and just genuinely wonderful people the Democrats and the media will presumably be whining about in the coming days:

Jose Sanchez Reyes, a Colombian illegal immigrant who entered the U.S. as a getaway, was convicted of homicide in his home country.
Rafael Juarex Cabrera, a Guatemalan illegal immigrant and alleged MS-13 gang member, has illegally reentered the U.S. three times and was convicted of felony reentry.
Savva Klishchevskii, a Russian illegal immigrant, has an Interpol Red Notice out of Russia for vehicular manslaughter.
Aron Isaak Morazan-Izaguirre, a Honduran illegal immigrant, is a known or suspected terrorist member of the 18th Street gang and has allegedly reentered the U.S. illegally two times.

Operation Tidal Wave is ongoing, and we'll bring you new details as they come in.

This is exactly what Trump promised he would do if elected—and it’s what he’s doing despite the protestations of the shrieking leftist media and the violent rhetoric of the Democrats. Success, it would seem, is indeed best served with ICE.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
