President Donald Trump issued new orders as part of his plan to ramp up massive deportations of illegal migrants - a daily quota of arrests for border officials.
In a Saturday phone call with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, Trump staff said the president was unhappy with the number of arrests so far.
He wants it ramped up from a few hundred a day to 1,200 to 1,500 per day, the Washington Post reported.
ICE officials were told that each field office should make 75 arrests per day and managers would be held accountable when that number isn't reached.
White House communications director Steven Cheung called the quota story 'fake news' but didn't elaborate.
The news of the quota requirement has sparked criticism from those concerned officials will partake in more indiscriminate arrests, or face charges of civil rights violations as they try to meet their numbers.
Trump campaigned on strengthening the U.S. border and cracking down on illegal immigration.
He has already started - a nationwide crackdown on Sunday resulted in the arrest of 956 people.
'We're getting the bad, hard criminals out,' the president told DailyMail.com on Friday.
'These are murderers. These are people that have been as bad as you get. As bad as anybody you've seen. We're taking them out first.'

Oh, they’re not ‘quotas, but merely ‘guidelines’................
1,000 a day? It would take 30 yrs at that rate even if they are not pumping out babies.
Or roofers...or many other trades. I think though we ought to find a way to keep these guys because they work hard and do a great job in general.
25 field offices times 75 apprehensions is over 1800 per day. Still a drop in the bucket to the +20 million that are here, but its a start.
You don’t hear the ruling class reptiles complain when they have quotas for traffic tickets and tax enforcement actions. These illegal alien lovers can go to hell.

Turnabout is fair play. The reptilian establishment has been purging native born Americans of all colors in their own country.
The county permit office has every building sight to hit.
Slippery slope. I would rather we got out of ICEs way and let them do their job without establishing quotas. Quotas lead to innocents taking a fall.
I live in an area that has a large population of illegal aliens with many working in agriculture but many sucking off the system. Until I start seeing arrests in my area, there is lots of room for them to meet their goals.
” I think though we ought to find a way to keep these guys because they work hard and do a great job in general.”
NO!
What innocents? Anyone in the country illegally is committing a crime and hurting citizens economically and socially. They all need to go. I want to see business owners put in prison for hiring these invaders.
I really want you to try to justify what an innocent is in these circumstances.
Go after the businesses that typically employ illegals.
Audit their books to verify the identity and citizenship of each employee. Fine them $10,000 for every violation.
The reason for the 68 limit was because that's how many seats our bus held. We would start at 7AM and by 10 or 11 we reached our capacity and headed to the office to process.
It was a very target rich environment to say the least, if they gave us 2 more busses a day we could have filled them no problem.
They closed all the interior Border Patrol stations around 2005 I imagen my old fishing holes are filled to the brim now.
Eliminating 100% of government benefits will increase self-deportation.
1/2 million gone in the 1st year is a good start.
By next year they should be on a cadence and can start prioritizing the people we paid to enter our country illegally.
