Arrests and deportations of undocumented people are lower than what President Donald Trump has promised, and that is “driving him nuts,” one source told NBC News.

Summary

Trump is reportedly frustrated that deportation numbers are lower than expected, pressuring ICE officials to accelerate arrests and removals.

His administration set a goal of 1,200–1,400 daily arrests, but actual figures have fallen short, sometimes below 300 on weekends.

ICE leadership, including “border czar” Tom Homan, has expressed dissatisfaction with the pace.

To meet Trump’s pledge of “millions and millions” of deportations, removals would need to exceed 2,700 per day.

    We checked everywhere in St. Louis and it turns out, it’s not even close to a border. They would have had to take a ferry boat from the Port of New Orleans and win a few poker hands.

      It’s right on the border! Misery on one side and Illinois on the other!

      /s, but not really as I’m sure that they are going to try to lock down interstate travel
