In early February 2025, US immigration enforcement saw unprecedented arrests, surpassing previous monthly averages due to the Trump administration's intense push for mass deportations. The review by The Guardian highlights a swift transformation in immigration policy, including a suspension of humanitarian programs put in place by the Biden administration. This shift has led to a substantially filled detention system, with over 47,600 individuals detained, raising concerns over the indiscriminate nature of enforcement tactics. Experts note that while the focus was originally on criminal offenders, the unpredictability in enforcement strategies has drastically changed.
In just weeks, the Trump administration transformed immigration enforcement, rushing to meet mass deportation goals and reversing Biden-era humanitarian programs.
Immigration enforcement under Trump has become more indiscriminate, reshaping the relationship between federal authorities and local law enforcement compared to prior administrations.
