ICE arrests topped 43,000 in June as traffic-stop enforcement drew court challenges and prompted officers to add body cameras.
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recorded more than 43,000 arrests in June, surpassing the previous record of 42,107 set in December, according to government data released Monday.

- ICE is on track to surpass 50,000 arrests in July, averaging 1,593 daily, while the Supreme Court is expected to review mandatory detention policy legality this October.
