But June is really when we saw those efforts come to fruition.
You'll remember that DHS was funded with...
an extra $170 billion by the Big Beautiful Bill, and a lot of that going toward ICE, allowing them to hire these thousands of new officers.
But the process of getting them out on the street, that takes time.
There's training, there's all kinds of different administrative tasks that are necessary.
So by the time June 1st,
rolled around, it was almost a year since that hiring push.

Is this just kind of a momentary enforcement blitz?
But we've seen on several occasions after that five-day stretch, ICE again hitting that 2,000 number.
Yeah, you know, as the administration, as ICE, was trying to push out these thousands of new officers, they really cut down on the days for these ICE officers to go through their training.
And in fact, there was a whistleblower, an individual who was a former ICE lawyer, who came out and said that they had cut, you know, more than 200 hours of classes involving ICE
