A Revised Strategy for Mass Enforcement Under the current administration, ICE has been executing a robust campaign aimed at increasing arrests of undocumented immigrants. Recent internal assessments indicate that since January 20—excluding Thursday’s data—the agency has averaged almost 650 arrests per day,
a pace that, if maintained, will ultimately result in close to one million arrests over the course of President Trump’s term. Border enforcement remains a top priority, and despite some temporary fluctuations, particularly at the southern border where new arrivals have declined, ICE has been reallocating resources to focus on apprehending individuals already in the system.
