> This was the predictable result of President Trump’s executive order rescinding ICE guidance, which required ICE to focus on public safety threats. As a consequence, the overall capacity of ICE to make arrests has grown thanks to shifting many resources from the military and other law enforcement agencies into ICE. It is also borrowing from end-of-the-year appropriations to pay for operations today, leaving it $1 billion in the hole.
