DETROIT (Reuters) - U.S. immigration authorities have arrested and moved to deport 199 Iraqi immigrants, mostly from the Detroit area, in the last three weeks after Iraq agreed to accept deportees as part of a deal removing it from President Donald Trump's travel ban, officials said on Wednesday.
In the Detroit area, 114 Iraqi nationals were arrested over the weekend, and 85 throughout the rest of the country over the past several weeks, Gillian Christensen, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman, said in a statement.
The actions came as part of the Trump administration's push to increase immigration enforcement and make countries, which have resisted in the past, take back nationals ordered deported from the United States.
The crackdown on Iraqi immigrants followed the U.S. government's decision to drop Iraq from a list of Muslim-majority nations targeted by a revised version of Trump's temporary travel ban issued in March.

Yeah, using iraqis as cannonfodder, destroying their country, everything for the profits of the former US.
But dare if an used iraqi flees to the nation that is the reason for the suffering of Iraq and the whole region, way more than under Saddam!
Only in hope that if you sit in the terrorists cave, you won´t be bombed by the terrorists.
Then these people will be deported.
Do you know how that looks?
It looks like an admission of guilt.
"Hey, we destroyed their country, fooled and used their people, murdered uncountable citizens over there, let´s throw out those refugees from Iraq, they have a good and almost even understandably human reasons to attack us, for revenge!"
That is what it looks like!
Like fear of receiving the bill. For destabilizing the world, for destroying millions of lifes, families, whole nations and areas of the earth, for starting proxy-, covered and open wars(for oil, as an example), for Divided States megalomania etc.

They're illegals. They're gone. It 'looks' to us that Trump is doing exactly what he was elected to do.
I kinda figure he would do more without all the mud slinging interference and the Obama appointed obstructionist judges.

Who said any of that was going away.
You even stated it would only slow it down. Just more wasted billions. All for nothing.

Where is your A game?
I asked if a wall would have stopped the Iraqis from coming. You said it would slow them down.
How does that work? FYI Iraq isn't part of Mexico.
