Tracking Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown


When Mr Trump took office, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began posting daily arrest figures on X. That did not last long. Some immigration experts suggest that the agency stopped when it became clear that they could not sustain tallies of 1,000 or so arrests a day. An analysis from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), which tracks immigration data, suggests that average daily arrests in the first few weeks of Mr Trump’s term were only slightly higher than during Mr Biden’s last year in office.
