A senior DHS official confirmed to The Independent that ICE made roughly 51,000 arrests in July, stating that the numbers beat June's record 43,000 arrests. ICE was making an average of 1,645 daily arrests last month, multiple federal sources told Fox News, which first reported July’s record-breaking numbers. The president’s border czar Tom Homan announced in February that hundreds of federal agents would be pulled from Minnesota amid public outcry. Fox News’ sources said the record-breaking arrests are due to thousands of newly hired ICE agents and billions of dollars in new funding.
