Summary
Trump is reportedly frustrated that deportation numbers are lower than expected, pressuring ICE officials to accelerate arrests and removals.
His administration set a goal of 1,200–1,400 daily arrests, but actual figures have fallen short, sometimes below 300 on weekends.
ICE leadership, including “border czar” Tom Homan, has expressed dissatisfaction with the pace.
To meet Trump’s pledge of “millions and millions” of deportations, removals would need to exceed 2,700 per day.
Does Trump think there’s a spreadsheet of undocumented workers where you can just go to their house and arrest them? Or that anyone who works for ICE can sort and filter a spreadsheet?
They did raids on Chicago first, possibly the city least likely have undocumented works.
“What do you mean there’s no documentation for the undocumented immigrants?!”
We checked everywhere in St. Louis and it turns out, it’s not even close to a border. They would have had to take a ferry boat from the Port of New Orleans and win a few poker hands.
