ICE arrests reached record highs this summer as enforcement tactics shifted
ICE arrested 50,925 people in August after shifting toward street sweeps and local jail cooperation, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
- In August, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a record 50,925 people, marking the third consecutive month of record-breaking figures following 50,208 arrests in July, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
- Tactics have shifted from publicized operations to street arrests and expanded cooperation with local law enforcement, with sweeps targeting Houston, New York, Memphis, San Francisco, and Atlanta.
- The Deportation Data Project reported that 73.5% of people arrested in July lacked criminal convictions, rising from 62.6% last year, while Texas saw over 10,000 arrests compared to 5,787 in the same period last year.
- DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated the operations 'defend the homeland' and called the increase a 'new normal,' while Juan Proa, CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, said arrests have continued 'basically unabated.'
- During a Sept. 11 speech, Mullin blamed cities like New York, Boston, and San Francisco for 'harboring bad actors,' and Immigration and Customs Enforcement may soon deploy robot dogs costing $2 million.
