U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have reportedly been directed to increase their daily quotas of arrests from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500 amid disappointments from the Trump administration on the agency's performance, a new Washington Post report shows.
ICE officials were told over the weekend that each of the agency's field offices should make 75 arrests per day and managers would be held accountable for missing those targets, four people with knowledge of the briefings told the Post. The four people spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal briefings.
