In a significant escalation of the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made approximately 10,000 arrests over a five-day period at the end of June. This surge, which represents around 2,000 arrests per day, signifies a shift in ICE's approach from high-profile sweeps in major cities to quieter methods, suggesting that while individual city crackdowns may have ceased, deportation efforts are far from diminished. The exact locations of these arrests remain unclear. This development comes alongside an increase in the number of individuals held in ICE detention facilities, which rose to roughly 39,000 in June, up from around 30,000 per month since February. While ICE does not publicly release arrest data, analysts at UC Berkeley's Deportation Data Project have noted that 2,000 arrests per day would represent a substantial increase over previous periods, surpassing the highest number of arrests recorded since the beginning of the Trump administration in December 2016. This surge in deportations is likely a response to the President's commitment to prioritize the removal of criminal illegal aliens, including those accused of murder, rape, pedophilia, gang membership, and terrorism. The Department of Homeland Security has emphasized this commitment, stating, "Our message is clear: if you come to our country illegally, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you."
