From The White House:
Across the country, arrests of criminal illegal immigrants have soared as President Donald J. Trump makes good on his promise to rid our communities of these threats to public safety — making sure illegal alien killers, rapists, gangbangers, and other violent criminals find no safe harbor.
The Trump Administration’s landmark public safety effort is making local news from coast to coast:
- In South Carolina, ICE arrests have more than tripled: “Looking at arrests from this year, 47% are on people already facing one charge; 41% are people already convicted.”
- In Michigan, “ICE arrests have jumped 154%“ since President Trump took office.
- In Minnesota, ICE arrests “have doubled, and the time it takes to deport someone has been cut in half since President Donald Trump took office.”
- In Colorado and Wyoming, there have been “almost five times as many“ ICE arrests this year compared to the same period under Biden.
- “New numbers on ICE arrests in Ohio show a shocking increase,” having more than tripled since President Trump took office.
- In Nevada, ICE arrests “have jumped nearly 300% compared with the same time period in 2024.”
- In Tennessee, daily ICE arrests have “more than doubled“ under President Trump — with the vast majority having a criminal conviction or a pending criminal charge.
- “Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, ICE arrests in Maryland have jumped 290% — and a staggering 470% in Virginia.”
- In North Carolina, there has been “a 160% increase in the number of daily arrests … compared to the same period last year.”
- In Alabama, ICE arrests have more than doubled compared to last year.
- “ICE arrests have surged after President Trump’s immigration crackdown — with numbers tripling in Utah and surrounding states since January.”
- “Comparing the average daily arrest rate to 2024’s rate … Texas is up 92%, Florida is up 219% and California is up 123%.”
- “The number of unauthorized immigrants arrested each month by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has nearly tripled across eight western states — Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming and California — since Trump took office.”
- “ICE arrests here in southern Arizona … have spiked dramatically since President Trump took office.”
- In Chicago, ICE arrested three times as many illegal immigrants convicted of crimes during the first 150 days of the Trump Administration compared to Biden’s final 150 days in office.
- “During the first six months of the second Trump Administration, immigration arrests here in the San Diego region have gone up 400% compared to this time last year.”
