Trump fails to meet his ICE arrest quotas proving he's doing nothing for the border and he lied to his followers.
He only managed to arrest 32,809 people since being elected, falling short of the 33,242 people arrested Biden in 2024.

President 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.

Why It Matters
At the current daily rate, over a four-year term, more than 950,000 arrests would be made, though that does not mean they would all be deported.

What To Know
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE leaders claim they discovered that the Biden administration was manipulating ICE arrest data to mislead the public. Officials allege the previous administration was "cooking the books," reporting tens of thousands of arrests while actually releasing many people into the community under catch-and-release policies

In fiscal year 2024, ICE recorded 33,242 at-large arrests—which refers to arrests made in community settings rather than jails or border checkpoints. In the first 50 days of Trump's second term, ICE has made 32,809 at-large arrests, nearly matching the total from the entire previous year
