Summary

Despite aggressive immigration enforcement efforts, ICE is failing to meet Trump’s mass deportation targets. Initial goals of 1,200–1,500 arrests per day have dropped to fewer than 600.

Resource constraints and exhausted officers have slowed operations, leading to the reassignment of ICE’s top two enforcement officials.

The White House is frustrated by detainees being released due to legal, medical, or logistical issues.

To boost arrests, agents from other federal agencies have been enlisted, and Republicans are pushing for more ICE funding to increase staffing.

    If I was working for Trump I would be lying my ass off while looking for another job. However it could be argued that staying and lying to him might be good for America.
