Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested the highest number of individuals in at least five years last month, according to internal agency data. Despite this increase in arrests, the number of deportations has not kept pace and remains substantially lower than the figures promised by President Donald Trump. Furthermore, current deportation numbers also lag behind those recorded during the Obama administration. Reports indicate that approximately half of those arrested were deported, highlighting a gap between enforcement actions and actual removals.
