The Trump administration has set a positive new goal in its anti-immigration agenda, requiring federal agents to arrest 3,000 people a day, or more than one million a year.

The new goal is triple the arrest numbers earlier this year, delivered to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) leaders by Stephen Miller, White House Vice President Commander Stephen Miller and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem.

The intense meeting was first reported by Axios and confirmed by the Guardian, involving ICE officials in Law Enforcement and Evacuation Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) (HSI), both independent offices in the DHS. ERO is responsible for immigration enforcement, including arrests, detention and deportation, while HSIs are often focused on investigating transnational crimes such as drug trafficking, human smuggling, and the spread of online child abuse.

The May 21 meeting in Washington, D.C. is the latest example of increased pressure from officials nationwide to increase the number of immigration arrests as the government doubles down on its anti-immigration agenda.

The latest phase of the crackdown includes new strategies such as requiring federal law enforcement officers outside the ice to assist with arrests and transportation, more representing compliant state and local law enforcement agencies, and arresting people in places where they were once protected, such as courts.

“The fantasy of this administration taking office is that they have been given a broad task to implement an active immigration enforcement agenda, which they are now doubling up,” said Nayna Gupta, director of policy at the U.S. Immigration Commission. “Public polls show that support for Trump’s immigration agenda has declined because the reality of Americans waking up is that mass deportation means arresting our neighbors and friends, covering up agents in our communities, people are afraid to go to work and go to school and show up in ways that undermine our local economy.”

The Helter-Skelter's actions have led citizens to Dragnet, due process on the ice - annoyed by the Supreme Court and the lower courts - overcrowded in detention centers, ideologically based arrests and deported people to third countries.

"Sweeping attacks and arrests are never seen before to hit families, long-term residents, children and communities," said Jesse Franzblau, deputy director of policy at the National Center for Immigration Justice.

Compared with the final Biden crackdown, the number of people entering the United States without authorization to cross the border and even operate within the United States increased.

"Secretary General Nome, we are implementing the mandate of President Trump and the American people to arrest and deport illegal foreigners and ensure the safety of the United States," Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

But even if new goals are achieved, it is far from Trump's election campaign promise to expel 15 million to 20 million people, which itself is an estimated 11m undocumented population.

Agents from the FBI, HSI, Drug Enforcement Bureau, alcohol, tobacco, guns and explosives, and other federal law enforcement agencies have chosen from normal priorities to engage in immigration enforcement. Current and former federal officials told the Guardian that there were concerns that important non-immigration-related findings were gradually falling.

Under a plan called 287 (g) by the ICE representative, the assistance of local police and sheriffs has also been greatly escalated, and federal immigration arrests have been approved.

Ice has also been targeting abnormal places.

ICE and several other federal law enforcement agencies arrested about 40 people on Vineyard Island in Nantucket and Martha, Massachusetts on Tuesday. According to local media reports, the ICE said the U.S. Coast Guard transported arrested people, angering some residents.

The agency has also been arresting people in court nationwide — a trend that has plagued advocates and policy analysts.

“We’ve seen the Trump administration take unprecedented steps to arrest non-citizens who follow government rules and procedures and present a court hearing,” Gupta said. “They are desperate to arrest a certain number every day. The only way they can easily and quickly find non-citizens is to go to the court and they (immigrants) are doing what they should do.”

Sources told the Guardian Wednesday that officials have arrested people in two separate immigration courts in New York City. The city observed seven people arrested in Lower Manhattan Court.

Internal documents visited by The Washington Post show that ICE officials in more than 20 states have been directed to arrest people in court immediately after a judge ordered his deportation or criminal case was dropped.

By May 18, the number of people detained on ice reached 49,000, an increase of more than 10,000 since Trump took office, while the agency used local and federal prisons to detain immigrants in a crowded situation.

Austin Kocher, an assistant research professor at Syracuse University who carefully tracks immigration detention data, said of the 3,000 daily arrest quota: “The biggest question for me is: Where do they put people?”

Meanwhile, last month, the Trump administration ordered immigration judges to quickly dismiss the case by refusing hearings for asylum seekers. The directive “has nothing to do with efficiency – it’s about slamming the doors of the court building, those who have the right to seek asylum and fair days in court,” said Shayna Kessler, director of the universal representative initiative for the Vera Justice College.

On Capitol Hill, the main spending bills passed by housing will surge at the U.S.-Mexico border and indoor immigration enforcement, both at the U.S.-Mexico border and indoors.

"The government is roaring in reckless spending, counting on Congress to rescue them over hundreds of millions of dollars in private prison contracts, with links to top officials," Franzbrough said.

He concluded: “Super Fund Bingbing’s rampant behavior of constitutional protection, and expanding deadly immigration detention and law enforcement agencies is cruel.”

Miller confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday that the White House targets at least 3,000 immigrants for ICE, well above the quota of 1,000 arrests per day.

Three people familiar with the move said Reuters reported late Thursday that the Trump administration removed two senior immigration law enforcement officers amid demands for strengthening law enforcement.

Ice officials Kenneth Genalo and Robert Hammer will be withdrawn from their positions and ask for anonymous discussion of the transition, the People told the news agency. The Department of Homeland Security denied that they were kicked out.
