The Trump administration announced their objective to detain 3,000 undocumented immigrants daily via Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with plans to eventually increase this target.

This statement was issued by Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, during a Wednesday appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.” He assured viewers that President Trump intends to “continue striving to raise that number higher every single day.”

On March 13, the administration boasted of 32,809 ICE arrests in the first 50 days of President Donald Trump’s return to office, which averages out to 656 arrests per day. The new goal of 3,000 arrests a day would be more than 4.5 times as many.

The declaration this week came as two top ICE officials left the agency.

ICE announced on Thursday that it was undergoing a “leadership realignment to support its increasing operational tempo,” adding that it “achieved its highest number of arrests in its history this week,” though without providing figures.

Kenneth Genalo, ICE’s acting executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations, is “retiring” after decades with the agency; he will be a special government employee moving forward. Robert Hammer, who was Homeland Security Investigations acting executive associate director, will take on “another critical leadership position within the agency’s headquarters,” ICE announced.

The shake-up at the agency includes 10 other new appointments. It comes after a reported meeting between Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last week, described as “tense” by Axios, which cited two sources familiar with the meeting.

“Border Czar” Tom Homan reiterated the Trump administration’s objective during a Thursday Fox News “America’s Newsroom” appearance. “We’ve gotta increase these arrests and removals,” he said.

“The numbers are good, but I’m not satisfied. I haven’t been satisfied all year long,” Homan added.
