A series of milestones indicate that the Trump administration is delivering on its goal of dramatically boosting the federal government’s Immigration enforcement apparatus.
In just the few months since President Donald Trump re-entered office, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has supercharged its arrest and detention numbers, and the U.S.-Mexico border has reached historically low levels of activity, according to information shared by the White House. The latest data mark a sharp contrast from the border crisis of the Biden era.
“President Trump is doing exactly what he promised the American people – securing the Southern Border and deporting illegal aliens,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said Friday to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Just this week, ICE has detained over 2,000 illegal immigrants on back-to-back days, and ICE arrests during President Trump’s second term have topped 100,000,” Jackson continued. “The President is cracking down on cartels, cutting the flow of fentanyl coming across our border by over half in the last year.”
ICE arrests surged to 2,200 in a single day on Tuesday, according to the White House — marking a dramatic uptick in the number of daily arrests from the week prior. The agency has notched more than 100,000 illegal migrant arrests since Trump began his second term.
Customs and Border Protection now touts “total control” of the southern border, with daily border encounters down 93% and encounters with “gotaways” — illegal migrants that avoid apprehension and considered to be a top safety threat — down 95%,
