Mass arrests in nationwide US immigration crackdown

According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a nationwide immigration crackdown Sunday resulted in the arrest of 956 people, the most since Donald Trump returned to power.
 
A number of federal agencies with newly expanded detention powers were involved in the raids in several cities including Chicago, Newark and Miami.
 
Mr. Trump came to power after making mass deportations of undocumented immigrants a central campaign promise.
 
According to ICE, his predecessor Joe Biden carried out an average of 311 immigration deportations daily, mostly individuals who had committed crimes.
