Federal officials say Americans should expect a sharp increase in immigration enforcement in the coming months, as the Trump administration prepares to deploy thousands of new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across the country. The expansion follows public comments from Vice President JD Vance, who said ICE agents would be going 'door to door' as part of what the administration describes as the largest mass deportation effort in US history.
Speaking during a 7 January broadcast on FOX News, Vance said the administration's investments in border and interior enforcement would soon produce higher deportation numbers. Federal officials say ICE now has about 22,000 agents and investigators nationwide, more than double the number reported a year ago.
