ICE arrests 10,000 people in five days as Trump shifts to quieter enforcement methods

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested approximately 10,000 people over a five-day period ending in late June 2026, averaging roughly 2,000 arrests per day. The arrests represent a significant surge in enforcement activity under the Trump administration and reflect a strategic shift from high-profile city sweeps to less visible enforcement methods. ICE detention populations climbed to approximately 39,000 in June, up from around 30,000 per month since February.
