ICE arrests reach new high

Immigration arrests in the U.S. reached record levels in June and early July 2020, with over 43,000 arrests in June and daily rates exceeding 1,500 in July. The surge, part of a Trump administration crackdown, included fatal incidents during traffic stops and led to ICE officers being ordered to wear body cameras. The Department of Homeland Security highlighted targeting 'criminals,' though data shows less than a third of detainees have convictions, and courts have released thousands via bond hearings.
