U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported 32,809 arrests in the first 50 days of President Trump's administration, nearly matching the total for all of fiscal year 2024. About half of those arrested were convicted criminals. ICE's focus includes individuals with criminal backgrounds, with 1,155 gang members arrested, significantly higher than the previous year. The Department of Homeland Security noted a 94% drop in illegal border crossings compared to last February. ICE has also introduced a new app for unauthorized immigrants to self-deport voluntarily. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated this option allows immigrants to return home while keeping their families united.
