In great news for American patriots, immigration arrests have skyrocketed, more than doubling across 38 states since President Trump’s ascension.
See the tweet below!
As of June 10, ICE averages 666 detentions daily, a stark rise from under 300 in 2024.
This surge is igniting debates about policy shifts and their impacts.
Before Trump took office, immigration enforcement was perceived as stagnant, but his administration has redirected this narrative with a keen focus on bolstering ICE’s power.
Stephen Miller, Trump’s immigration adviser, is driving this agenda, leading to considerable spikes in states like Texas and Florida.
States with large immigrant populations are experiencing the brunt of these changes.
Texas has witnessed over 20,000 arrests since January, while Florida and Puerto Rico each report over 11,000.
Southern and Western states, in particular, see the largest spikes, reflecting public support for Trump’s policies.
The Deportation Data Project at UC Berkeley revealed these figures, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
ICE officers are embracing stricter enforcement tactics, detaining individuals even at court hearings, increasing the rate of expedited removals, and targeting “collaterals” during raids.
The arrest strategy has drawn significant backlash, with protests erupting nationwide.
Los Angeles has seen particularly intense clashes.
Despite Trump’s past claims that immigration efforts target criminals, current data indicates a different strategy.
The numbers speak for themselves—between January and June alone, there was a shocking 807% rise in arrests of immigrants with no criminal records.
This development contradicts Trump’s previous claims about prioritizing criminal deportations and reveals a focus on administrative violations.
“Every minute that we spend pursuing an individual with a clean record is a minute less that we dedicate to apprehending terrorists or cartel operatives,” some Republican members of Congress wrote in a letter to ICE, cited by The Guardian.
With detention facilities now overcrowded and reports of poor conditions, it’s clear ICE’s amplified enforcement is a double-edged sword.
While some see it as a necessary protection of borders and sovereignty, others worry about human rights and governmental overreach.
As these conversations continue, the effects of this strict immigration policy reverberate through communities and political landscapes alike.
😁 I voted for this. 🇺🇸
