CBS Dallas/Fort Worth learned that Immigration and Customs Enforcement report an almost 40% increase in arrests and deportations:

According to ICE, 2,586 undocumented immigrants were arrested in the first five months of 2016. In that same time period this year, 4,969 undocumented immigrants have been taken into custody. That’s an increase of almost 40 percent.

Under the Obama Administration, ICE focused on so-called “criminal” immigrants, those who had felonies and other rap sheets. In the first 100 days of the Trump administration, ICE arrested 4,155 criminal immigrants and 814 non-criminal. In 2016, ICE arrested 2,337 criminal immigrants compared to 249 non-criminal immigrants.

One Fort Worth resident, Tim Bothe, said the deportations should be at 100%. "It’s our country. Are we not supposed to protect our rights and our families and all our citizens here in America?” he asked.

ICE has vowed to “no longer exempt any class of individuals from removal proceedings if they are found to be in the country illegally,” and that’s keeping with the promises Trump made on the campaign trail.

One illegal alien willing to talk anonymously to CBS 11 said  her family lives in a constant state of fear.

“It’s pure fear now,” the woman said. “If I talk to other immigrants, it’s the same. Just fear.”

She has been in the U.S. illegally for the last seven years. She has been working to save money to pay for her children’s education back in Mexico. Since the election, her family has been saving up money.

“We already bought boxes so we can start packing our things and sending them to Mexico,” she added.

Yes, that’s called doing the right thing. Come back when you’ve gone through the proper channels and then, you can live here without fear.
