ICE Arrests Surge as Enforcement Expands to Immigrants Without Criminal Records
· Texas Border Business
Immigration arrests in the U.S. have increased significantly, with a notable rise in arrests of individuals without criminal records. In June, ICE recorded 43,021 arrests, which surged to 49,571 in July, averaging nearly 1,600 arrests daily. Most of those arrested in July faced civil immigration violations, with less than 4% having prior violent crime convictions. Texas and Florida are key states for this enforcement, with Texas averaging over 380 arrests daily. The increase is linked to expanded ICE staffing and collaborations with local law enforcement, as well as the use of the 287(g) program for immigration enforcement.
