U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ramped up arrests of immigrants in the country illegally, making nearly 2,200 arrests over the weekend. These figures represent a significant increase from the average of nearly 300 daily arrests under the Biden administration. Now in his second week in office, ICE set daily targets of 1,000 to 1,500 arrests nationwide. ICE employees were warned they could face consequences for underperforming. Former officials believe this rare approach may push officers to target more immigrants without criminal records, who are easier to arrest.
