Newsweek - resident Donald Trump oversaw a surge in ICE arrests during the first 50 days of his second term in office—more than doubling the daily rate under President Joe Biden's administration—newly released figures show. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents made 32,809 migrant arrests between January 20 and March 10, officials said at a news conference on Wednesday.
By comparison, ICE arrested and detained about 255 people each day last year under Biden. Despite the sharp increase, the numbers still fall narrowly short of his election promise to carry out "the largest deportation program of criminals in the history of America," when he referenced the 1954 "Operation Wetback," which rounded up an estimated 1 million people.
