ICE is off to a blazing start under Trump, arresting 11,000 illegal aliens in just 18 days.

Among the highlights: a Gulf Cartel hitman and a Venezuelan gang member who casually strolled in via El Paso, along with other heavy hitters.

With detention centers already packed past their 41,500 capacity, the administration is expanding facilities — and yes, Guantanamo Bay is now open for business, with plans to house up to 30,000 violent criminal aliens.

For reference, the previous administration took a full year to hit 33,000 arrests. Looks like Team Trump is gunning for a high score.

Of course, this is only the beginning.
