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.
