Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested nearly 50,000 people in July, the highest monthly total during President Trump's second term, according to newly released government data. Texas and Florida accounted for nearly 20,000 of these arrests. The Trump administration has shifted away from high-profile militarized raids while ramping up deportations, and ICE has been bolstered by congressional funding and the hiring of 12,000 new deportation officers and agents.
