Immigration and Customs Enforcement reports record deportation numbers under Trump administration
Immigration and Customs Enforcement reports 641,000 arrests and over 800,000 removals in 16 months under Trump's second term. White House border czar Tom Homan claims 60% of those removed were criminals or public safety threats. The administration faces criticism from both sides: Democrats and some Republicans oppose arresting non-criminal immigrants, while Trump's base wants broader enforcement.
