Deportation goals falter as migration soars, diverting resources to border.

The number of immigrants arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents is falling, according to agency statistics released Thursday, the latest sign that a border surge is diverting enforcement efforts away from the U.S. interior, dealing a blow to the Trump administration’s deportation goals.

“What you’re looking at is our interior arrests have been affected,” Asher told reporters, noting that she has had to redirect resources to what she sees as the first priority, “addressing what has been occurring and continues to occur at an alarming rate at the border.” But the statistics released Thursday indicate the agency has diverted resources to cope with what Asher described as a “crushing” volume of arrivals at the border, especially parents bringing children. ICE has 6,000 agents assigned to arrest and deportation efforts, Asher said.
