ICE Arrests 1,179 Undocumented Immigrants in One Day, 52% Criminal, Lodges 853 Detainers
Jan 28, 2025, 12:20 AM
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported a significant increase in arrests as part of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. On January 27, 2025, ICE arrested 1,179 undocumented immigrants, marking a daily high for the agency. Of those arrested, 613 were classified as criminal arrests, accounting for 52% of the total, with eight individuals identified as the 'worst criminals arrested,' including two gang members. Additionally, 853 detainers were lodged against individuals arrested on other criminal charges. The arrests reflect a broader effort to ramp up deportations, with ICE having made nearly 2,400 arrests and lodged nearly 1,800 detainers since Trump's second term began. The operation has been controversial, with 566 of the detainees on January 27 lacking criminal records, and some 'collateral arrests' reported, raising questions about the focus on serious offenders as promised by the administration.
