Agency shifts to quieter enforcement approach
The arrest numbers, which the person discussed on condition of anonymity because the data had not been publicly released, indicate that enforcement activity has continued and intensified even as the Trump administration has moved away from highly publicized enforcement actions in individual cities.
The 10,000 arrests over the five-day period represent a major push by ICE to carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. The Associated Press reported that the agency has shifted its enforcement approach from high-profile sweeps in major cities to quieter ways of reaching its deportation goals. The person familiar with the data did not say where the arrests occurred.
The locations of the arrests were not disclosed.
