ICE arrests about 10,000 immigrants in five days
🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick413Expect to hear more about this in the coming days, if they keep up this pace.
rescanous.bsky.social118So, is this planned over our national 250th birthday weekend? If so, it is more than heinous and makes even more of a mockery of our principles (which teeter on a trapeze wire).
observablereality.bsky.social108If you think this ends when "all the illegals are gone", it doesn't. They move on to "disloyal" citizens. You can count on that.
dtf194747The irony of MAGA people who are opposed to racial quotas now themselves seeking to fill daily quotas for deportation using racial profiling is just too perfectly MAGA.🙄
The Pale Wyrm45Arrest quotas shouldn't be legal.
Harriet T is my hero40A massive federal terroristic kidnapping human trafficking operation filling for-profit concentration camps in the USA
Nancy Levine Stearns21Fascism is here. “ICE officials were told that the WH wanted an increase in arrests, according to three officials... One of the officials said that it was unclear how long the pace could continue, but that ICE officials had been told that 2,000 arrests a day was the new standard for enforcement.”
Dennis Detwiller6These are not arrests. These are kidnappings. No warrants. No due process. Half your bill of rights is in the toilet. Stop helping to normalize this.
📎 Otto Von Danger4The ICE Nazis haven't stopped abducting, raping, robbing, torturing and Murdering civilians...they've increased. #AbolishICE #Nuremberg2
Doni2Please don't ask anyone to travel to the US. The conservatives are still kidnapping a lot of people. Keep in mind that ICE has the power to kidnap American citizens as well, because alleged aliens do not have the right to see a lawyer or judge as far as I know.
🌈🌈Peppermint Paddy2Desperation...in hoping they can deport enough American citizens to get them the midterms.
Earlier this week, Intelligencer ran a piece called "ICE Won." We definitely don't agree with the title, but its gist—that the normalization of federal police violence is accelerating—is proving accurate. ICE arrests roughly doubled in Chicagoland in June over May. Some more thoughts on that:
unraveled89Here's a link to that piece. We recommend reading beyond the headline & wrestling with all of it. Rapid responders are still in the streets bravely tracking ICE activity despite federal agents' track record of killing them. We only know this past month’s stats because of them.
Chris⚖️Justice7It's going to increase exponentially. This criminal regime profits from this terrorism.
OutJustInTime3ICE didn’t win, the American people got bored and now accept corruption, violence and oppression as just the way things are. They don’t like it, but doing something about seems too much trouble.
David M3WTF has the USA not held a national strike, shut the Country down, bring your Government to its knees, there are 300+Million of you & yet the vast majority are carrying on like theres nothing wrong, like concentration camps, masked thugs kidnapping people, pedophiles being protected, is normal.
QUERDCAST new account as bsky hates transwomen & loves nazis2we are ten years into a civil war and our side refuses to arm themselves or fight against the insane physical violence and harm
Big Steve (BP)1If ICE has won it's because the media has lost interest in covering it. The current admin is an outrage on their immigration policy, but the truth is most Americans of both parties want undocumented immigrants either deported or given refugee status, not put into camps.
Kevin Elliott47Just can't share & emphasize this sentiment enough: ICE has been kidnapping our neighbors in greater & greater numbers. The narrative of mass deportation having suffered a decisive defeat in Minneapolis is flatly wrong; kidnappings, inhumane detention, & deportations continue & are increasing.
Emmeline33This is the Lib way. Rack up a symbolic victory (Noem/Bovino leaving) and fly the Mission Accomplished banner. They're doing it again with birthright citizenship. They did it with the "Muslim Ban" Trump's 1st term. They did it every time ACA was upheld (but individual provisions were struck down).
Kevin Elliott13Every single lawless ICE kidnapping; every second of squalid, Kafkaesque detention; every court-defying & life-endangering deportation is palpable daily evidence of fascist rule in America.
Genie Lauren11As a Black woman, I knew this was gonna happen because white people didn't give a fuck about ICE before and they never gave a fuck about the police. And it's the same shit. They actually want ICE and they want police. So, here we are.
maureen10People are eager for ICE to be a singular problem on its own while denying that DHS fulfills the prospect of American policing to a T: excessive force as the norm, lack of institutional accountability for reforms, racial profiling, insane budgetary imbalances and militarizing every aspect of itself.
Neem9Protesters had Delaney Hall on the ropes then Democrats decided to brutalize protesters with state and local cops Also I reject the premise its happening "behind the scenes" I see new insane videos everyday, big name politicians just refuse to talk about it
Clever Resistance7An important topic for every community this summer.
Mike Fragassi4Watch this. The key point: ICE is still active, but the sense of alarm & urgency about stopping them might be fading. "State violence relies on normalization. If we accept that it's happening then the house isn't on fire anymore and there is no emergency."
John Andreini4So when do we fight back? When do we say "enough?" What event will finally push us into action? Or do we just continue watching the destruction of our country like a TV reality show?
Willow Bird Baking 🏳️🌈2They saw the backlash against policing and created a new and worse police to rebrand with less training, less accountability instead of fixing anything.
NEW: Federal immigration officials have detained more than 10,000 people in the last 5 days, a major surge that has stemmed from a push at ICE to increase arrests. The WH has wanted more arrests. The expectation inside ICE is 2K arrests a day. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Greg Spooner29NYT still sane-washing these fascists. It’s not “clamping down”. More like ramping up their ethnic cleansing terror campaign.
D19The children will be sex trafficked. The adults will be bounced around the country from one for profit prison to another, and eventually be deported to a country they don’t know. This is our America! Wanna change that? I do!

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick413Expect to hear more about this in the coming days, if they keep up this pace.
CrimethInc. Ex-Workers' Collective234Following setbacks in Minneapolis, ICE has changed strategies. Now they are trying to inflict as much suffering as possible without attracting attention. They are escalating right now. We need strategies to confront and impede them—the way people did at Delaney Hall. crimethinc.com/DelaneyStrat...
Will Stancil134If this becomes major news, I’d expect to see what you saw in Minneapolis and Chicago, which is major immigrant communities effectively going into hiding. Here, it was economically devastating. Nationwide, it could provoke an economic downturn
Dave Byrnes99I can't imagine the soullessness necessary to transform the abduction of thousands of people by a masked secret police force, their disappearance into jails and private concentration camps, and the terrorizing and occupying of communities across the country, into "remarkable operational results."
Frau Nora38Während weltweit der Fußball im Fokus der Berichterstattung steht, fährt die Trump-Regierung unbehelligt ihre Abschiebe-Razzien wieder hoch. Ist aber aus der EU auch schwer zu kritisieren, nachdem man selbst die Bedingungen für Migrant*innen massiv verschärft hat. #FußballWM #WM2026
Marie-France Lemaine12Je me souviens très très très bien des appels au boycott par les chroniqueurs et donneurs d’opinion occidentaux pendant la Coupe du monde au Qatar en 2022. Le traitement réservé aux migrants, le non-respect des droits humains… ça les choquait beaucoup. Indignation à géométrie variable.
SMcDonnell880% detained in Maine do not have a criminal record and have legal status in process for immigration. “Our message is clear: If you come to our country illegally, we will find you, we will arrest you and we will deport you,” a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said in a statement.

Very disturbing report but also very illustrative. I keep hearing people say that with the revocation of special protected status for hundreds of thousands of people we're likely to see surges like we saw last year in Chicago, LA and Minneapolis. But this suggests ... www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...
Josh Marshall1332/ we won't. It's an important realization. Those "surges" in blue cities were very clearly never focused on maximizing arrests/detentions. They were intended to sow terror to try to overawe those cities themselves. The civilian populations made up overwhelmingly of citiznes. You couldn't look ...
Ned Winsborough2We may not see additional surges to implement the deportation of people previously under TPS. But there is every reason to think we will see additional surges this fall with the purpose of instilling terror.
rosariovpendleton.bsky.social1@joshtpm.bsky.social do you think real numbers are being given by DHS officials???
A quiet but huge surge. Have to think Supreme Court immigration decisions fed into this approach. Immigrant Arrests Surge to 10,000 in 5 Days as ICE Clamps Down www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

iwillkeepthefaith.bsky.social2They do the shock and awe first, then ramp it up with the volume down and people are like, this isn't so bad. It's bad.

“Without fanfare.” Ice raids are more sweeping. And quieter. To avoid protest. [Gift article] www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...
Robert Dillman, 2nd of his name (he/they)5And the error rate for the "professionals" making the arrests at this rate? The most accurate headline would be "ICE arrests of non-white residents" Accuracy in communication is more of a ... happy accident for corporate media, when it occurs
Francine3How are we letting this still happen?
Another Alice Lastname?!?!?2These thugs are J6ers emboldened with masks, guns and bounty money
audreyii_fic1I'm curious how they're accomplishing these jumps. Have they spread out wider, geographically? Is it going after the new low-hanging fruit of TPS immigrants?
NAKd.life1More data pointing to the selfishness & racism of the American Voter Recalls should be sweeping the country. Local cops should be hamstrung to prevent working with ICE. Neighbors should be shunned for mere vocal support of this But there's imperfect weather to discuss & pills to take
WingyJ🌊🇺🇲🐈🫘1Thank you for the gift article. This is all so deplorable.
Joanne Freeman154Posted because we CAN'T allow this to seem normal, just because it's quiet. We need to speak out. That's why it's quiet to begin with -- because ICE raids that were announced drew protest.
Your favorite person’s favorite person71ICE learned that white people are generally fine with them harassing people as long as they are left out of it and don’t have to hear about it every day. Another reminder that white folks aren‘t fighting Trump for a better country. They just want to go back to sleep.
Athena Kugblenu18Stop watching the World Cup. Being able to do this whilst hosting the greatest show on earth ( well one of them) shames us all
Adam Miller14Having learned that their activities are deeply unpopular, secret police have gone secret
Nic McConnell5We can’t let ICE deportations become a quiet background thing
Boaz Nash2What an enormous waste of resources, both in terms of the people doing the arresting and the people whose lives are upended and pulled out of their communities.
The big story is the headline: “ICE arrests 10,000 illegally in US…” Are they illegal? How many are legal residents? How many are US citizens? The headline shows how far due process has fallen and how much the media has surrendered. We don’t give fascists the benefit of the doubt. #RFA
TheLeoTerrell'sStankyTaint13The true headline is ICE "Illegally Arrests 10000 People"
Forever Young and in Denial8Are you sure it wasn't "ICE arrests 10,000 illegally"?
Carol5Actually I think the arrests are illegal grammatically, just saying.
Radical Left Scum from The Gulf of Mexico4And how many are nuns?
Right … that’s what they report but not even have of what they claim are illegals but American citizens. We don’t believe their fake reports. Everything about this administration is a lie… everything.
Jack - Grumpy Old Man CR: WOT-The Shadow Rising3We also don't know what the average was normally. We have no idea what good any of this has done.
Lieu deBeau2#ICEout if any government agency is this out of control its operations need to be suspended until oversight can be reestablish or the agency brought into compliance with law by courts and Congress. This is how fascism in WWII Germany used Ghistapo to bring about Holocaust, stop this now. #NoKings
Greymattersplat2They could have just stopped it at “ICE arrests 10,000 illegally”…
ICE officers have arrested people at check-ins with immigration authorities, during traffic stops and on the street. The push has apparently yielded results, with recent arrest numbers roughly doubling from the 1,000 picked up each day earlier this year. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...
Ian B. Bautista5This gives me great pause (as it should any brown or Black person in the USA). They are bolstering these quota numbers by detaining (and holding, BTW) folks like that Nigerian nun down in South Texas. As a brown man with long hair and known to speak Spanish in public, it does not give me comfort.
The Subsequent Mrs. de Winter3@nytimes.com has referred to Trump's immigration "policies" as "triumphant."

Minerva47874627.bsky.social3These 10,000 arrests are not enough for the White House which wants even more arrests. The new enforcement standard is now 2,000 people per day.
