US President Donald Trump is unhappy with the current deportation rates of illegal immigrants and demands that the pace of their expulsion be accelerated. According to NBC News, the head of state expected higher results from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but the real statistics irritate him.

"He is angry that the number of deportations does not correspond to his promises. The president expected much higher figures.""," said a source close to the Trump administration.

ICE officials have come under increasing pressure in recent weeks, with sources saying the agency has been tasked with significantly increasing arrests and deportations. The president’s goal of removing 2,7 million illegal immigrants a year requires deporting more than XNUMX people a day.

In practice, however, achieving these numbers has proven more difficult than planned. Since Donald Trump's inauguration, the highest number of arrests in a single day has been 1,1, nearly three times slower than the pace needed to meet the target.

Experts say one of the main challenges ICE faces is a lack of resources and personnel. A significant increase in deportations requires more staff, more detention centers, and significant financial outlays.

Opposition to tough immigration policies is also growing among Democrats, with some lawmakers accusing Trump of violating human rights and being too harsh on migrants. Democratic Senator Alex Padilla has said mass deportations would be divisive and exacerbate the humanitarian crisis.

However, the president's supporters, on the contrary, believe that tightening migration policy is necessary to ensure the country's security. They argue that illegal migrants create an additional burden on the health care, education and social services systems.
