A significant escalation in immigration enforcement is on the horizon, according to top White House advisor Stephen Miller. In a recent interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Miller revealed the Trump administration’s ambitious plan to dramatically increase the number of daily arrests of undocumented immigrants.
The goal? A minimum of 3,000 daily arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This represents a substantial increase from the current rate. During the first 100 days of the Trump administration, ICE reported over 66,000 arrests, averaging roughly 650 per day (according to an April 29th Department of Homeland Security update).
Miller emphasized President Trump’s commitment to exceeding this 3,000-per-day target. He directly linked the initiative to reversing what he described as the influx of undocumented immigrants during the Biden administration. The statement frames the increased enforcement as a response to the millions of undocumented immigrants who entered the country during the previous administration.
This announcement marks a significant shift in immigration policy and is sure to spark intense debate and discussion. The potential impact on communities and the legal ramifications of such a drastic increase in deportations remain to be seen.
