## Resource

Immigration arrests surged to over 1,500 per day in early July, marking the highest levels since the Trump administration began — with June alone seeing more than 43,000 arrests. Despite DHS claims targeting violent criminals, less than a third of those detained have criminal convictions, and 40% haven’t even been accused of anything beyond immigration violations. The crackdown has led to tragic deaths, including two immigrants killed in traffic stops across Texas and Maine, yet President Trump ordered arrests to continue. ICE officers are now mandated to wear body cameras during encounters. Another Mexican man died in a Florida traffic crash after an ICE interaction. Even with court orders, arrests persist in places like New York City — including bizarre cases like a Texas nun and an Alaska state attorney, both later released.
