US Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested nearly 50,000 individuals in July, the highest monthly total of President Donald Trump's second term, according to data reported by The Zioneer. The figure appears to surpass June's record of 43,138 arrests, continuing a sharp escalation in enforcement under the second Trump administration.
The Zioneer reports that ICE arrests reached approximately 50,000 in July, setting a new monthly record for President Trump's second term. The figure marks a 16% increase over June's record of 43,138, which had already been the highest of the administration.
The surge comes amid the administration's intensified immigration enforcement campaign, bolstered by the Secure America Act signed in June, which allocated $64 billion to ICE and Border Patrol. As of mid-July, ICE was holding 65,765 individuals in detention, 60% of whom had criminal convictions or pending charges, according to data previously reported by The Zioneer.
The July total has not been independently confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security, though the pace of enforcement has been steadily climbing under border czar Tom Homan.
