Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests have skyrocketed during President Donald Trump's second term, but they're still well below the benchmarks set by White House officials.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told Axios that since Trump's return to office, agents under DHS authority have arrested nearly 579,000 "illegal aliens." The spike in immigration arrests is credited to anti-immigration policies championed by White House Deputy Chief of Staff and immigration czar Stephen Miller.
