White House deputy chief of staff
Stephen Miller and Secretary of Homeland Security
Kristi Noem met with Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week and reportedly
demanded that agents arrest 3,000 people per day — triple the number of daily arrests they were making earlier this year. Miller, in particular, reportedly demanded that ICE agents get arrest and deportation numbers up as much as possible.
According to
Axios, the meeting left ICE employees feeling like their jobs could be on the line if they don't hit Miller's goals.

During Donald Trump's first administration, he promised to "build a wall" on the Mexican-American border, and his strong stance against illegal immigration was a major part of his three presidential campaigns.
"Keeping President Trump's promise to deport illegal aliens is something the administration takes seriously," White House spokesperson
Abigail Jackson told the
New York Post in a statement.
"We are committed to aggressively and efficiently removing illegal aliens from the United States, and ensuring our law enforcement officers have the resources necessary to do so," she continued. "The safety of the American people depends upon it."

Border czar Tom Homan claimed that at the end of April, 139,000 people had been deported since Donald Trump's historic return to the White House.
In January, the Trump administration gave ICE a quota of 1,800 arrests per day, but Stephen Miller reportedly informed officials on Saturday, May 21, that the number will increase significantly.
According to the New York Post, the number of immigrants being "picked up" by ICE will increase by 650,00 by the end of the year.

Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" allocated $147 billion to go toward border control and protection.
Since returning to the Oval Office, border crossings have decreased dramatically, as ICE agents are being advised to be more aggressive during arrests.
