Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested 10,000 people over a five-day period at the end of June. This marks a major push by the agency tasked with carrying out the Trump administration's mass deportations agenda. The arrests translate into roughly 2,000 per day, a sharp increase over previous periods. In June, the number of people booked into ICE detention facilities climbed to roughly 39,000. The New York Times first reported the news of the arrests. ICE doesn't publicly release arrest data, making exact comparisons difficult. The Deportation Data Project provided data showing a significant increase in arrests.
