Arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this summer soared to record highs since the start of this Trump administration — with 43,000 in June, more than 49,000 in July and nearly 51,000 in August — as officials cut or narrowed the pathways to legal residency in the United States and expanded the pool of people eligible for deportation.

A review of dozens of incidents caught on camera reveals a largely invisible crackdown by ICE, with arrests soaring to record highs this summer. Federal agents appeared in routine places, leading to a significant increase in deportations.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing for another hiring surge, aiming to add 5,000 new employees by year-end to support President Trump’s deportation campaign. This follows a similar surge last year that resulted in undervetted officers being hired and subsequently removed, raising concerns about the agency's ability to adequately vet new recruits.
Whistleblower photographs reveal severe overcrowding and unsanitary conditions at an ICE field office in Miramar, Florida. Detainees are reportedly sleeping shackled in a sally port, using overflowing portable toilets, and lacking adequate medical care and hygiene. The facility, rated for 56 detainees, has held hundreds, prompting calls for investigation.
