Early ICE arrests are below 5% of Trump’s target: Here’s why

ICE figures show 20,000 arrests in Trump’s first month. Projected over four years, that would lead to slightly fewer than one million arrests by the end of Trump’s term, or only 4.8% of the 21 million illegal aliens Trump says are in the U.S.

President Donald Trump put the figure of illegal aliens in the U.S. under President Joe Biden at 21 million during his Tuesday address to Congress, but the latest arrest figures show his administration on pace to apprehend less than 5% of that amount by the end of his term.

“Over the past four years, 21 million people poured into the United States,” Trump said. “Many of them were murders, human traffickers, gang members and other criminals from the streets of dangerous cities all throughout the world because of Joe Biden's insane and very dangerous open border policies, they are now strongly embedded in our country.”

The latest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) figures pointed to 20,000 arrests in Trump’s first month. Calculated as 20,000 in 30 days, the daily rate came to 667 arrests, which projected over four years would lead to slightly fewer than one million arrests by the end of Trump’s term, or 4.8% of the 21 million.

Put simply, ICE arrests are significantly behind schedule and would need to total roughly 440,000 per month to see Trump’s target met. Border Czar Tom Homan has expressed optimism that federal law enforcement can meet that target. So, why then the sluggish pace? The short answer is money.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I think the biggest obstacle is democrats.  Democrats trying to preserve all the gains made in the past four years in the destruction of our Constitutional Republic.  Their behavior at the State of the Union speech exposed them for the anti-American group they really are, who lie, cheat, and steal with goal the of destroying freedom.
