The Trump administration escalated immigration enforcement with demands for a daily quota of 3,000 arrests. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shifted to more aggressive social media tactics, sharing arrest numbers and warnings regularly. Their budget increased by $165 billion, aimed at constructing a border wall and new detention facilities. While some members welcomed these changes, others within ICE expressed concern, feeling that their mission was becoming more about arrest numbers than protecting the homeland. Discontent led some attorneys to resign due to the focus on rapid deportations over legal justice.
"Watching the videos posted on ICE's social media accounts is like watching an episode of 'Cops.'"
"The funding will be used to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, build new detention centers, and post enough social media clickbait to make BuzzFeed jealous."
