Amid promised crackdown, immigration arrests are lower than before Trump took office
By Marnie Eisenstadt


ICE arrests in the first few days of February averaged 724 per day, that’s down almost 5% from former President Joe Biden administration’s average of 759 arrests per day, according to a new report from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a Syracuse University-based nonprofit organization that collects and analyzes federal data. “While ICE has been waging a media campaign on its ‘stepped up enforcement,’ a more careful examination shows little evidence that actual immigration arrests and removals have increased over the Biden administration’s record for FY 2024 through January 2025," reads the report, which was released today.
