ICE arrest numbers still not satisfactory
However, a Politico report suggests that the number of daily arrests made by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stayed relatively the same as that of the Barack Obama administration, which means the PR bump the mass deportation plans are being given, is just a push, with the statistics painting a different picture.
What's more interesting is the fact that the arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ended up with 400 migrants even being released for the sheer lack of detention capacity. According to Politico, the current scenario is not exactly the ambitious announcements that the Trump administration had made during the Presidential elections about mass deportations.
PR campaigns to satisfy Trump's base?
Trump is currently trying to assert to his deportation-hungry political base that he’s delivering upon his promise of mass deportation, and the PR this initiative is receiving could be one of the biggest attempts at proving the same.
