ICE arrests 956 in 1 day as Trump admin immigration crackdown ramps up

SUMMARY
ICE announced a record-breaking 956 arrests in a single day on Sunday, as the Trump administration escalated its immigration crackdown under the leadership of "Border Czar" Tom Homan. The operation, conducted in Chicago and overseen by top federal officials, marks a sharp increase in enforcement compared to an average of 310 daily arrests during the previous fiscal year. The multi-agency effort included partnerships with the FBI, ATF, DEA, CBP, and U.S. Marshals Service, aiming to enhance public safety by targeting noncitizens with criminal convictions or pending charges. ICE highlighted its focus on removing "potentially dangerous criminal aliens" to protect communities and uphold national security. The arrests follow President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on the U.S.-Mexico border last week, underscoring his administration’s commitment to aggressive immigration enforcement.
