Border czar Tom Homan said Monday that the Trump administration intends to raise its immigration-enforcement target to 7,000 arrests a day, more than double the current goal of about 3,000 daily deportations. "For those that say 3,000 a day is too much, we have to arrest 7,000 every single day for the remainder of this administration just to catch the ones Biden released into the nation," Homan told reporters. The new objective would cover the roughly three-and-a-half years left in President Donald Trump’s term, implying a vast expansion of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. Supporters of the plan say it will require hiring and training about 10,000 additional ICE agents as well as enlarging detention and removal facilities. Homan’s remarks underscore the administration’s pledge to roll back policies implemented under President Joe Biden that allowed many migrants to remain in the United States while their cases were processed. Implementing the 7,000-per-day benchmark would mark one of the most aggressive federal immigration-enforcement drives in U.S. history and poses significant logistical and budgetary challenges.
