US immigration agents arrested a record number of people in June, data shows

US immigration agents arrested a record 43,138 people in June, according to government data. A Guardian analysis of figures published by ICE indicates that federal agents are steadily ramping up operations across the country. This represents the highest number of arrests since Donald Trump took office in January last year, aligning with his campaign promises regarding mass immigrant deportations. The data highlights a significant increase in the scale of immigration enforcement activities throughout the United States.
