NEW YORK, NY (Fox News) — Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons disclosed that there are approximately 1.6 million illegal aliens with final deportation orders in the U.S., half of whom have criminal convictions. These orders were issued by immigration judges separate from ICE or DHS, with 16,840 at large in Minnesota.

Thousands of violent illegal immigrants have been arrested in Minnesota, sparking criticism from Democrats and threats to defund DHS unless enforcement approaches change. Sen. Lankford commended immigration enforcement efforts, highlighting the chaos that has been prevented by ICE operations.
