During the first four days of the operation called "Tidal Wave", nearly 800 illegal immigrants were detained in a joint operation of great magnitude carried out by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the authorities of the state of Florida, according to FOX News on Saturday, April 26.
Among those detained are José Sánchez Reyes, a Colombian convicted of homicide in his country; Rafael Cabrera, a Guatemalan citizen and alleged member of MS-13, who reportedly entered the United States illegally on three occasions; Savva Klishchevskii, a Russian with an Interpol Red Notice for vehicular homicide; and Aron Isaak Morazán-Izaguirre, a Honduran accused of belonging to the 18th Street gang.

Meanwhile, last week the New York Post revealed that more than 200 terrorists, both identified and suspected, were captured in mass deportation operations driven by President Donald Trump's administration since his inauguration in January.
According to reports, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained 219 known or suspected terrorists, marking a 655% increase compared to the same period in 2024, when under Democratic President Joe Biden only 29 arrests were recorded, according to new data from the Department of Homeland Security obtained by the newspaper last Tuesday, April 22.
