Immigration officers have arrested an average of more than 1,000 people a day within the first months of 2026, nearly double the average number of arrests per day at roughly the same point last year, according to a new analysis.
Despite high-profile surges of federal agents into Democratic-led states and cities, arrests in those areas have largely fallen flat, while arrests in states such as Texas and Florida have spiked, according to a review of arrest data from The New York Times.
