Immigration officers are averaging 20 to 40 arrests per day, compared with fewer than 10 a day in May 2025, a senior DHS official said.

President Donald Trump brought in Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to lead a department at the forefront of his signature domestic policy.

President Donald Trump came into office promising the largest mass deportation in U.S history, targeting the more than 10 million unauthorized migrants living in the United States.

The FBI will no longer investigate assault confrontations with ICE agents, according to two people familiar with the directives.

The ICE officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week is an Army veteran who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood and never should have been given a badge and gun to patrol American streets, several of his close relatives told The Associated Press.

President Donald Trump wrote that ICE should continue traffic stops. The agency had ordered a pause on the stops after they led to fatal shootings in Maine and Texas.

The administration’s pressure to increase arrests has put officers under “too much stress,” sources said, after two men who weren’t initial ICE targets were killed in less than a week.

A local advocacy group identified the victim as a 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the U.S.

The lack of bodycam video could hinder the DHS inspector general’s review of the incident.

As global migration and right-wing movements increase, countries are adopting tougher immigration policies, sometimes mirroring Trump’s policies and rhetoric.

ICE officers were trying to arrest Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who the Department of Homeland Security said isn’t authorized to be in the country.
