ICE arrests surge past 10,000 in five days amid reported quota
ICE arrests more than 10,000 people nationwide in a five-day span in late June, roughly doubling the agency's prior daily pace, after leadership orders 80% of officers onto arrest operations seven days a week. Two senior enforcement officials, Russell Holt and Peter Berg, are reassigned amid reported internal frustration that arrest numbers weren't climbing fast enough. Multiple outlets report an agency-wide daily arrest quota of roughly 3,000 arrests aimed at 1 million per year; government counsel denies this is official policy.
