WASHINGTON — Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested approximately 10,000 people over a five-day period ending on June 30, 2026. This period, which began on a Friday and concluded on a Tuesday, indicates an average of 2,000 arrests per day.

These arrest numbers represent an increase in daily rates compared to earlier months and were reported by a person familiar with the information who spoke anonymously. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a statement regarding the arrests, which were initially reported by a newspaper.

The DHS statement conveyed the agency's enforcement stance. "Since Day One, DHS law enforcement has been delivering on President Trump's promise to the American people to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists," the Department of Homeland Security said. The agency further stated its message regarding illegal entry into the country. "Our message is clear: if you come to our country illegally, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you."

The number of individuals entered into ICE detention facilities rose to approximately 39,000 in June. This figure marks an increase from previous months, as the number of people entered into ICE detention facilities had hovered around 30,000 per month since February.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement does not publicly release its arrest data. However, data provided to UC Berkeley's Deportation Data Project and analyzed by a news organization suggests that the 2,000 arrests per day observed in late June would be an increase over prior periods. For context, December had the highest average daily arrests since the start of the Trump administration, with 1,283 arrests per day nationwide. In January, the daily average was around 1,212 across the country. Immigration arrests decreased to 1,057 per day in February, according to information from the Deportation Data Project. The Deportation Data Project obtained its data by suing through the Freedom of Information Act, and its data is current through February.
