Specifics of detainments have been scarce, leaving it unclear whether the criminals being targeted make up a significant share of those being captured.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has space to detain about 41,000 people a day, but Trump’s "border czar," Tom Homan, wants space to hold over double that amount.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have totaled in more than 7,400 arrests and deportations across several states.

No longer just campaign trail rhetoric, President Donald Trump’s insistence that immigration to the United States amounts to an “invasion” may be critical to unlocking extraordinary powers as the administration carries out his deportation agenda.
