ICE Arrests Surge as Enforcement Expands to Immigrants Without Criminal Records
· Texas Border Business
Immigration arrests in the U.S. have risen sharply, with a notable increase in detentions of individuals without criminal records. In June, ICE recorded 43,021 arrests, which jumped to 49,571 in July, marking a 15% rise. Most of those arrested faced civil immigration violations, with less than 4% having prior violent crime convictions. Texas and Florida are key areas for this enforcement surge, with Texas averaging over 380 arrests daily. The increase is linked to expanded ICE staffing and cooperation with local law enforcement. Deportations have also averaged over 1,000 per day since last summer.
