Immigrant Arrests Soar at End Of Trump's First Week

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement made nearly 1,200 arrests on Sunday and just under 1,000 on Saturday, marking an uptick after arrest numbers in President Trump's first few days in office were roughly in line with daily averages seen under the Biden administration. ICE arrested approximately 310 people a day during former President Joe Biden's last year in office.
