According to the report, this broke the record from just one day prior, as there were 2,267 ICE arrests on Tuesday.

The surge comes after an average of roughly 1,600 arrests were made last week, with the White House targeting 3,000 arrests daily.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller had said, “Under President Trump’s leadership, we are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day.”

The increase in arrests can be attributed to a surge in worksite enforcement and immigration court arrests.

ICE is also using collateral, like arresting individuals who are not initial targets but are with a target at the time of an arrest.

According to ICE sources, if the reconciliation bill passes with funding for 10,000 additional ICE personnel and tens of thousands more ICE beds, numbers will be “supercharged and shoot through the roof.”

As a debate about the bill progresses in the Senate, the White House reaffirmed the bill’s border and immigration-related provisions on Thursday.

Deputy Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy Communications Director Alex Pfeiffer posted to X, “Did you know The Big Beautiful Bill doubles ICE detention capacity, increases ICE personnel by 50%, finishes the border wall, and taxes money illegals send to their home country?

“It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to crack down on illegal immigration.”
