Trump's ICE Deportations

Under Trump's second term, ICE is poised to exceed 300,000 deportations, marking the highest rate since 2014. With a hefty $75 billion budget and plans to recruit 10,000 agents, the agency faces growing public backlash. Protests, especially in California, reflect rising concerns over the targeting of non-criminals in these enforcement actions.
