Exclusive: ICE Arrests 50,000 People in August, Maintains Record Pace
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
ICE agents and officers arrested nearly 50,000 people in August, according to a senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official familiar with preliminary arrest data. This figure matches that of July, which was the highest monthly arrest total during Donald Trump's second term. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is experiencing a nationwide increase in arrests that is less visible than the aggressive enforcement efforts earlier this year, when the Border Patrol moved from city to city, culminating in the shooting deaths of two American citizens in Minneapolis. Arrests sharply declined in February and March but began to rise again in May. June and July saw record numbers of ICE arrests, according to ICE arrest data.
