Biden's ICE nominee angers all sides, says drop in illegal immigrant arrests is 'concerning'
Fox News
President Joe Biden’s pick to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Thursday the drop in arrests by the agency in recent months is "concerning" -- while saying he wanted to move "aggressively" against illegal immigrants who pose a threat to communities in the U.S.
There were 2,837 arrests in May, just slightly lower than the 2,847 arrested in April, and higher than the 2,343 arrested in March and 1,985 arrested in February, according to ICE statistics. The arrests in all those months were just a fraction of the arrests made in the final months of the Trump administration. There were 6,804 arrests in October, 5,978 in November, 6,070 arrested in December and then a dip to 5,117 in January.More Related News
