ICE arrests dropped in past year as the Trump administration focused on families at the border.
As the Trump administration focused on the record-setting numbers of families and children flooding the southern border, Immigration and Customs Enforcement this year arrested significantly fewer criminal undocumented immigrants, the agency’s interim head said Thursday.
ICE did not provide data on this year’s arrests. In 2018, the agency made 7,449 criminal arrests compared to 5,790 criminal arrests in 2017. The Trump administration has seen pushback from local law enforcement officers who worry the strong rhetoric out of the White House is making it less likely that undocumented immigrants will report crimes for fear of deportation.
