The quotas were given to officials over the weekend as Trump is said to be disappointed with the results so far, four people with knowledge of the briefings told the Post. Managers would be held to account if those targets are missed, the paper reports.
There were 969 arrests and 869 detainers lodged on Tuesday, according to ICE. The Independent has contacted ICE for comment. ICE has field offices in regions across the nation including Atlanta, Boston, Memphis, San Diego and Tampa Bay. Communities around the country are reporting an atmosphere of fear and anxiety, as federal immigration agents carry out Trump’s goal of conducting the largest mass deportations in U.S. history.
Over the weekend, federal law enforcement agents and administration officials carried out a series of immigration arrests in Chicago. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joined federal agents in New York City this week to announce the arrests of immigrants wanted on criminal charges.
“Arresting some criminal aliens this morning in NYC — thank you to the brave officers involved,” Noem posted on X. “Criminal alien with kidnapping, assault & burglary charges is now in custody — thanks to @ICE. Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets.”.
