President Donald Trump has set immigration enforcement officials a lofty new target of conducting 3,000 arrests every single day in an ambitious effort to ramp up his deportation agenda.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said the new goal is only temporary and the number of daily arrests expected under the Trump administration will continue to rise.
'Under President Trump's leadership, we are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day,' Miller told Fox News' Sean Hannity.
Trump's border czar Tom Homan backed the ambitious new benchmark on Thursday morning, insisting: 'We've gotta increase these arrests and removals.'
'The numbers are good, but I'm not satisfied. I haven't been satisfied all year long.'
