ICE arrested 956 people on January 26, 2025, followed by 1,179 arrests on January 27—the largest single-day totals in agency history—as part of Trump's directive to arrest 3,000 immigrants daily through raids targeting sanctuary cities. The administration simultaneously rescinded "sensitive area" protections for college campuses, hospitals, and schools on January 21, removing decades-old policies that prohibited immigration enforcement at educational institutions. The September 5, 2025 Hyundai Metaplant raid in Georgia arrested 475 workers in the largest workplace sweep of Trump's second term.

Why This Matters
🏠 College campuses lose protection from federal raids after decades of sanctuary
Trump eliminated "sensitive area" policies on January 21, 2025, allowing ICE agents to conduct arrests at universities for the first time since the 1980s—students with DACA status, mixed-status families, and undocumented workers face deportation from previously safe educational environments.
📈 Daily arrest quotas create indiscriminate deportation machine targeting 3,000 people
Stephen Miller's directive to quadruple daily ICE arrests from 750 to 3,000 prioritizes numbers over targeting actual criminals—law-abiding immigrants with permits get swept up alongside those with serious criminal records to meet political quotas.
🏛️ Sanctuary city policies become meaningless against federal overreach
Local governments that refuse cooperation with ICE face federal raids anyway, as seen in workplace sweeps like the 475-arrest Georgia Hyundai operation—state and local authority to protect residents gets trampled by federal enforcement priorities.
⚖️ Constitutional due process disappears during mass arrest operations
Record-breaking daily arrests of 1,179 people overwhelm immigration courts already facing 3.7 million case backlogs, ensuring detainees wait years for hearings while separated from families and unable to work legally or access basic services.
📞 Support local sanctuary policies and campus protection measures
Contact your city council at city hall and university administration to establish local policies protecting residents and students from federal immigration enforcement—communities can provide legal aid and know-your-rights training even when federal protections disappear.
