June record
ICE detained 39,563 people and CBP arrested 3,575, totaling 43,138 — the largest monthly number in fiscal year 2026. The surge is driven by White House deportation targets. Source: infobae
July pace and target
In July, daily arrests average 1,593, with 16,213 in the first 11 days. If sustained, the monthly total could approach 50,000. However, three officials told The New York Times that agents are far from the White House goal of 2,000 daily arrests, and questioned long-term sustainability. Source: diariolibree
Deaths spark protests
The intensified operations have led to three immigrant deaths during enforcement actions: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo (Mexican, 52, shot in Houston on July 7), Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero (Colombian, 26, shot in Maine on July 13), and an unnamed Mexican who was hit by a truck in Florida while fleeing an ICE checkpoint on July 14. These incidents have fueled protests and political tension. Source: elnacionalve, infobae
