Trump Admin Sets ICE Arrest Quotas

Supporting Evidence

In this interview, Stephen Miller (White House Deputy Chief of Staff) announces an ICE arrest quota of 3,000 per day, claiming it is a response to the high number of migrants allowed into the country under the Biden administration. This policy not only contradicts the Trump administration's claim that it is only arresting criminals, but it also creates a system that seeks to arrest immigrants indiscriminately in order to reach the numbers, regardless of when or how they entered the country. Fox News is not a reliable source, but Stephen Miller is a primary source, which makes this interview credible and relevant to the claim.
