Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem are pushing for a dramatic increase in ICE arrests to 3,000 per day. This demand came during a tense meeting at ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C. last week. Miller, a key figure in the Trump administration's strict immigration policies, took a harsh tone. He warned agents that their jobs could be at risk if these new targets aren’t met. Currently, ICE is deporting about 17,000 people each month, a 29 percent increase compared to April last year. This aggressive approach follows a trend of heightened deportations, with nearly 49,000 individuals currently in ICE custody. Critics, like the American Immigration Lawyers Association, argue that this strategy undermines fairness and due process. They claim that many of those targeted are not fugitives but individuals seeking safety.
