Arrests and deportations of undocumented people are lower than what President Donald Trump has promised, and that is “driving him nuts,” one source told NBC News.

Summary

Trump is reportedly frustrated that deportation numbers are lower than expected, pressuring ICE officials to accelerate arrests and removals.

His administration set a goal of 1,200–1,400 daily arrests, but actual figures have fallen short, sometimes below 300 on weekends.

ICE leadership, including “border czar” Tom Homan, has expressed dissatisfaction with the pace.

To meet Trump’s pledge of “millions and millions” of deportations, removals would need to exceed 2,700 per day.

    Many of those undocumented immigrants file taxes with a TIN instead of an SSN with the hopes that doing so will prove that they’re here to contribute to the country and aid in their case for immigration. Unfortunately, that means they’re on a list.

    Edit: the law does not allow the IRS to share this information with ICE, however we can tell that the laws aren’t working right now… "Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code states that the IRS is not authorized to release taxpayer information to other government agencies except for providing information to the Treasury Department for investigations that pertain to tax administration, or under a federal court order related to a non-tax criminal investigation.
