Although Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has highlighted a rise in illegal immigrant arrests under President Donald Trump, the agency is now grappling with space limitations for detained criminal migrants.

“It’s got these lofty goals, with big numbers, and definitely not a lack of trying and a lack of effort in trying to make that a reality, but is facing practical issues,” Héctor Quirog, a specialist immigration attorney with the Quiroga Law Office in Spokane, Washington, told Fox News Digital.

“Number one, we have got problems with how many detention centers and how many beds are available,” he said. “Because, like it or not, some individuals should have a hearing, and they have to wait somewhere. So we have capacity issues.”

Since President Trump resumed office on Jan. 20, ICE has significantly intensified enforcement operations.

On Jan. 23, ICE conducted coordinated raids across major U.S. cities, resulting in the detention of 538 individuals. Subsequent operations have continued at a high pace; for instance, on Jan. 29, ICE arrested 956 individuals, marking the highest daily arrest count under the Trump administration.
