Trump Officials Issue Quotas To ICE Officers To Ramp Up Arrests

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have been directed by Trump officials to aggressively ramp up the number of people they arrest, from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500, because the president has been disappointed with the results of his mass deportation campaign so far, according to four people with knowledge of the briefings.

The orders significantly increase the chance that officers will engage in more indiscriminate enforcement tactics or face accusations of civil rights violations as they strain to meet quotas, according to current and former ICE officials.

Homan told ABC News in an interview broadcast Sunday that the administration is “in the beginning stages” of its mass deportation plan, and while public safety threats and national security threats are a priority, “as that aperture opens, there’ll be more arrests nationwide.”
