Senior ICE officials are blaming President Donald Trump’s demand for mass arrests for a wave of deadly shootings by immigration agents—with one warning that officers “pushed to the breaking point” are being forced into fatal confrontations, PunchUp reports.
Agents have shot dead two men in less than a week—Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, a Mexican homebuilder killed in Houston on July 7, and a 26-year-old Colombian man named by a neighbor as Joan Sebastian Guerrero, who was shot through his windshield in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday.
he killings came days after Trump, 80, issued a covert order for an arrest surge that swept up more than 10,000 people in five days, as the Daily Beast reported on July 2, with field bosses told the White House expected 2,000 detentions every day, according to the New York Times.
One senior official has now told PunchUp—the Beast’s new sister investigations Substack outlet launched this year—that those quotas are behind the bloodshed. “They are being forced to have quotas again. They are being pushed for numbers and quotas,” the official said. “There is a demand for 2,000 arrests a day. Leaders are being fired for bad numbers.”
