Giving strength to the claims of Donald Trump, Hundreds of undocumented immigrants have been arrested in six states of US this week. These illegal immigrants were identified in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, South Carolina, Atlanta and North Carolina.

As many as 200 arrests were happened in Atlanta. The count stood at 161 in Los Angeles. This exercise is being seen as the first large scale crackdown after Trump was sworn-in as President.

Officials told the arrests took place as part of the routine immigration enforcement actions. What's worrying is that most of them who were arrested were serious criminals with involvement in murders and domestic violence.

Donald Trump put an end to the 'Catch & Release' policy with his executive order on January 25th. As per the new law, Even undocumented immigrants without no criminal records could be targeted by the Immigration Officials.

As per an estimate, There are altogether 11 million undocumented immigrants in US. Trump pledged to deport 2-3 million undocumented immigrants who have been in criminal records.
