Immigration and Customs Enforcement is on track to arrest approximately one million illegal immigrants by the end of the Trump administration—an impressive number, though still short of President Donald Trump’s goal, according to a report this week.
The update comes as Republicans in the House and Senate push to include provisions for border security, deportation, and additional funding in an upcoming spending package, which could lead to a significant increase in ICE arrests, Just the News reported.
As the Trump administration continues its push for mass deportations, the agency responsible for arresting and removing illegal immigrants, U.S. ICE, has ceased posting daily arrest and detainer data. Despite this, border czar Tom Homan has maintained that arrests are proceeding as planned, even in the face of leaks and public pushback, the outlet reported.
