New federal data reveals a significant increase in arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On average, over 1,580 people were taken into custody daily in July. Notably, more than half of those arrested had only civil immigration violations, with no pending criminal charges or convictions.

This surge in arrests is reportedly part of a push to meet a daily target. Further details about the circumstances surrounding these arrests are available from the source. The increase in enforcement follows a period of decreased activity.
