- Since February, about 500 migrants have been held temporarily at the facility, which the administration is expanding with medical screenings and temporary shelters.
- A senior official from the White House indicated that the administration intends to achieve at least 3,000 daily arrests by ICE as part of its intensified efforts to address illegal immigration.
