Meanwhile, according to agency data, under the Biden administration, the average number of arrests of immigrants with criminal convictions or pending charges in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 was 310.7 per day. The number in the first days of the Trump administration represents at least double that figure, with more than 700 arrests per day on average in the five days since operations began.

Similarly, in a key move to strengthen enforcement, Acting DHS Secretary Benjamine Huffman canceled a directive that limited ICE operations in places such as churches, schools and hospitals. Huffman explained that these restrictions had allowed dangerous criminals to hide in these locations to evade Justice.
