| Officers working for ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations made about 72,000 administrative arrests during the fiscal year that ended in September, down from 104,000 during fiscal 2020 and an average of 148,000 annually from 2017 through 2019. While ICE officials say the Biden administration is targeting more serious criminals, immigration hardliners are decrying a "collapse" in enforcement since President Donald Trump left office. |
