ICE arrests have surged nationwide with more than 10,000 immigrants detained in the last five days alone. That’s according to The New York Times, which reports the White House has demanded an increase in detentions, ordering ICE officials to make at least 2,000 arrests a day.
In related news, a Roman Catholic nun arrested by ICE in Texas has been released from custody. Sister Leticia Ugboaja, who is originally from Nigeria, was walking to Mass at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in McAllen Sunday when she was detained by ICE. Sister Ugboaja’s arrest drew bipartisan anger in Texas, leading to her release.
