President Trump’s administration is pushing ICE to increase arrests from a few hundred to 1,200-1,500 per day.
And this is with field offices set to target 75 arrests daily.
Liberal critics fear this could lead to less Democrat voters, I mean, lead to civil rights violations. There, that’s a better cover.
Nevertheless, they can’t stop this ICE machine from ramping up arrests!
As someone stated in online, the next step is for serious penalties for any employer that is employs illegal aliens. Then we’ll have 10k a day leaving.
ICE made 956 arrests of illegals today, way up from the 286 arrests by ICE yesterday.

Fox News reports:
President Donald Trump’s administration is pushing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to increase the number of arrests per day from a few hundred to between at least 1,200 to 1,500 people, according to a new report on Monday.
Citing four sources who spoke on condition of anonymity about a purported internal call with ICE officials on Saturday, The Washington Post first reported about the new objective, categorizing the 1,200 to 1,500 daily targets as “quotas.”
During the call, each ICE field office was told to aim for 75 arrests per day and that management would be held responsible if the quotas were not reached, they said. The Post also reported that current and former ICE officials said that they are concerned that the quotas make it more likely that agents will “engage in more indiscriminate enforcement tactics or face accusations of civil rights violations.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reportedly told the Post via an email that, “your story is false,” but did not elaborate. When asked about the report, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) clarified, telling Fox News Digital, “Goals is the correct phrasing.”
“The bottom line is DHS enforcement, whether they be at the border or the interior, needs to keep and get criminal aliens out of the country,” the spokesperson added.
Fox News Digital also reached out to Leavitt and ICE regarding the report.
Later in its report, the Washington Post cited another unnamed ICE official who reportedly said that the agency already has a long list of criminal suspects, so agents could continue to target public safety and national security threats to reach the quotas.
Last week, acting DHS Secretary Benjamine Huffman rescinded a directive that had prevented ICE from carrying out immigration enforcement at sensitive locations such as churches, schools and doctor’s offices. Huffman said the reversal ensured criminals, including murderers and rapists, cannot use those areas to hide. Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, further defended the decision on Sunday, explaining that many MS-13 gang members are often around age 14 and ICE agents are well-trained and should have the discretion to weed out public safety and national security threats.
I told you the numbers would snowball and grow daily.
Here’s the 25th:
