ICE arrests 10,000 people across US in 5-day span, a sharp surge in Trump's deportation push
Associated Press via ABC 7 ^ | 7/04/26 | Rebecca Santana

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 10,000 people over a five-day period at the end of June, marking a major push by the agency tasked with carrying out the Trump administration's mass deportations agenda.

The arrest numbers, obtained from a person familiar with the information who spoke anonymously to discuss data that has not been publicly released, come after the agency shifted its approach from high-profile arrest sweeps in major American cities to quieter ways to reach President Donald Trump's deportation goals.

The figures indicate that while the administration is no longer cracking down on individual cities, the arrests continue and are surging.

The total number of arrests during the five-day period starting Friday, June 26, and ending Tuesday, June 30 translates into roughly 2,000 arrests per day. It was not clear where the arrests had taken place.

The spike in arrests was first reported by The New York Times.

"Since Day One, DHS law enforcement has been delivering on President Trump's promise to the American people to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists," said the Department of Homeland Security in a statement. "Our message is clear: if you come to our country illegally, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you."

The arrest news also comes as the number of people entered into ICE detention facilities climbed in June to roughly 39,000 after hovering around 30,000 per month since February, according to information obtained by The Associated Press.

ICE doesn't publicly release arrest data, making exact comparisons with previous periods difficult. But according to data provided to UC Berkeley's Deportation Data Project and analyzed by The Associated Press, 2,000 arrests per day would mark a sharp increase over previous periods.

Typical Drive-By Media "sourcing."

Is it good news? Yes.

Could it be better? Yes.

Could it be fake? Always.

Interesting to see how existing rental leases are adjudicated. These immigrant families are housed somewhere.

It's common knowledge that many newer recent construction in Montgomery County, Maryland residential apartments are owned by the government outright or owned by shell companies who receive government money.

It's Section8 taken to another level.

Ok...
That means you are dribbling along for the next year and only deporting 3,650,000 filthy migrant invaders...
That is only a stinking 18.5% of the invaders currently infesting the Nation...

WTF is it going to take for the country to be saved?

Arrests sound good, but hinies in the seats leaving US airspace is what counts. We.re still feeding them in detention centers.

Still ZERO ARRESTED CEOs/Directors/Business owners for the CRIME of hiring illegals.

Tyson Foods alone (yes the ones caught red handed BRIBING HILLARY) employs maybe 100,000 invaders.

This Whak-A-Mole is unwinnable.

ATTENTION ICE:

PLEASE COME TO WILMINGTON, NC. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE AND ARE FEARLESS AND DEFIANT. THERE ARE MANY STORES WHERE SPANISH IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY CUSTOMERS AND IT IS EXHAUSTING.

THIS IS O U R COUNTRY AND I AM SICK OF PARASITES.
