Federal immigration officers apprehended 650 illegal immigrants last week as part of an operation that targeted people who had been ordered to leave the country, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Tuesday.
[...]
The border operation was launched in January 2016 and again in February 2016 as a way to address a spike in the number of unaccompanied minors and family units arriving at the southern border.

So... doing their job? lol

I don't really see anything wrong here, they are simply doing their job.  This isn't really newsworthy.

Well, its newsworthy if someone were interested if anything was being done with immigration, or if any action was being delayed due to political backlash.

It seems all we hear in the news is people complaining about gov't/politics, complaining about current administration's views on illegal immigration, complaining about minorities' rights, etc - but we dont really ever hear much about what is being done to stop the problem.  So - it does have some worth IMO.
