Immigrant Arrests Surge to 10,000 in 5 Days as ICE Clamps Down
ICE officials were told to put 80% of officers on arrest operations as daily detentions roughly doubled from earlier this year, officials said.
- Federal immigration officials detained more than 10,000 people in the last five days, following a Trump White House mandate to aggressively increase arrest rates across the United States.
- Following President Donald Trump's signing of a reconciliation package containing $70 billion for immigration enforcement, ICE was instructed to assign 80% of its officers to "arrest operations."
- On Saturday, ICE officers arrested 2,400 people, while continuing to ignore a federal judge's order curtailing courthouse arrests at locations including 26 Federal Plaza and 290 Broadway in Lower Manhattan.
- Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition, told The Intercept that ICE operates in a "lawless and rogue fashion" and is not following court orders.
- Amid record deaths in ICE custody under the Trump administration, President Donald Trump intends to nominate former Oklahoma state trooper Lance Schroyer to lead the agency permanently.
