The Trump Administration Touts Immigration Enforcement Push in Texas as Election Day Nears
About 60% of those arrested had criminal histories, and officials said the 10-day sweep produced some of ICE’s largest daily totals in one state.
- On Thursday, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced 4,170 arrests during a 10-day federal immigration enforcement operation in Texas called Lone Star Mission, averaging more than 400 arrests daily.
- Mullin reported 60% of those arrested had criminal histories, while describing the remaining 40% as "collateral" arrests not necessarily intended as enforcement targets.
- Partnerships between federal officers and local sheriff's offices enabled the operation, with 879 arrests occurring in North Texas through coordination to serve outstanding warrants.
- Mullin criticized sanctuary jurisdictions during the press conference, claiming support for such policies aids organized crime, while contrasting current enforcement with Biden Administration immigration approaches.
- Trump administration officials have conducted campaign trips to Texas ahead of Election Day to rally Republican voters, coinciding with competitive political races across the state.
