US EditionU.S. Border Patrol is increasingly seen far from the border as Trump ramps up deportation arrests
EL PASO COUNTY, TEXAS, JUN 24 – Border Patrol agents operate beyond border zones to meet a daily arrest goal of 3,000, with interior enforcement covering two-thirds of the U.S. population, the ACLU said.
- On July 7, Border Patrol agents patrolled MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, illustrating interior deployments far from the U.S. border.
- The administration established a daily deportation target of 3,000 arrests, while proposing an $8 billion ICE staffing boost and highlighting expanded search powers within the 100-mile zone.
- In Southern California, a Border Patrol agent struck a landscaper during a Saturday arrest, and Sen. Alex Padilla was forcefully removed at a Los Angeles news conference.
- Legal challenges intensified as CalMatters records show only one of 78 arrestees under Operation Return to Sender had a criminal conviction, and the American Civil Liberties Union secured an injunction against racial profiling.
- Future trends indicate that, as long as the border remains quiet, interior deployments will persist and incidents like these are expected to increase, experts warn.
