According to a new report, as a result of the raids by ICE agents, whose main goal was 2 000 illegal immigrants in the country, they arrested only 35 people, writes Daily Mail.

Raidswhich Trump talked about so much, in a dozen cities were targeted at 2105 people with final deportation orders.

The public and early warnings of activists who advised illegal immigrants on how to evade ICE agents helped many of them escape.

“I don’t know of any nation where people are told how to avoid arrest as a result of illegal activity,” he said in an interview New York Times ICE Acting Director Matthew Albbens, who reported on the number of arrests.

Initially, raids were scheduled for June, but at the last minute Trump moved them to 14 July.

Activists and politicians reacted to the statements of the president and urged illegal immigrants not to open the door if ICE agents knock. The council was distributed by local activists and politicians, including Hillary Clinton, as well as members of the progressive "detachment" of Democrats, including member of the House of Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York.

The Trump administration has so far expelled on average fewer people each year than the Obama administration.

In the 2018 fiscal year, the Trump administration deported 256 086 immigrants, which is 13 percent more than in the previous year.

Former President Barack Obama deported 409 849 people in the 2012 year, which was a record figure, and 235 413 people in the 2015 fiscal year.

In the first two quarters of 2019 of the fiscal year, the Trump administration deported 130 432 people, compared to 123 253 for the same period of the previous year.

During the same period, 361 308 people were detained illegally crossing the southern border, many of whom would be allowed to remain in the United States for an indefinite period.
