Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests and deportations have dropped under President Biden for the month of February after he issued new rules for the agency.
ICE apprehensions fell 60%, and the number of deportations dropped by a similar amount compared to the last three months of the Trump administration, according to the Washington Post, which obtained statistics from the government body. The data follows guidance from the president that mandated ICE officers seek approval from senior leadership before deporting anyone that has not crossed the border recently.
