U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says its Houston teams are now averaging about 100 arrests of illegal aliens per day.
The official ICE account posted on Friday, “We are arresting about 100 illegal aliens a day in Houston, Texas. Past Administrations failed you, the American people. President Trump will not.”
The post included video from a NewsNation report as they embedded with ICE teams in the Houston area.

NewsNation reported the team they embedded with brought four of five targets into custody before 11 a.m.
One arrest involved a man from El Salvador who had three prior DWI arrests, the most recent in 2024, and a final order of removal after missing a court date.
Agents conducted surveillance to establish his pattern of life and detained him before he entered a vehicle, which ICE described as a safer approach.
A second arrest, carried out with a county constable, targeted a man from Mexico with a 2013 charge of enticing a minor, a prior DWI, and driving-without-a-license cases. He also had a removal order after missing court.
Bret Bradford, director of ICE’s Houston Enforcement and Removal Operations field office, told NewsNation the agency prioritizes the “worst of the worst” but will not limit enforcement to those with criminal records.
“If you’re in this country illegally, there’s a consequence,” Bradford said. He added that current rhetoric has “emboldened these individuals to run, to flee, to evade arrest,” and he encouraged people eligible for voluntary departure to use the $3,000 cash incentive rather than wait for an arrest.
Houston’s ICE field office has posted large numbers in earlier operations as well.
In a 10-day sweep last October, agents reported 1,505 arrests, including gang members, aggravated felons, a convicted murderer, and sexual predators.
ICE has posted additional Houston operation footage on social media, including a traffic effort that resulted in more than 120 arrests on a single day.

We made over 120 arrests in Houston Oct. 29 — clearing our roads of dangerous, often unlicensed and uninsured, illegal aliens who should NOT be behind the wheel. https://t.co/qg4EcN9Fnr
