Trump administration sets ICE daily arrest goals at 1,200-1,500; raises concerns about enforcement tactics and civil rights violations.

The Trump administration has reportedly instructed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to aim for daily arrests between 1,200 and 1,500.

This target significantly increases the previous figures of a few hundred arrests and was discussed in an internal call with ICE officials, according to a Washington Post report.

During the call, field offices were advised to achieve 75 arrests each day, with management responsible for meeting these quotas.

Concerns have been raised by current and former ICE officials regarding potential civil rights violations connected to these enforced goals.

The White House has contested the report, stating that “goals” is the appropriate terminology, according to press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

ICE aims to prioritise public safety and national security, with an official indicating that a list of criminal suspects already exists to guide enforcement actions.

Recent changes have allowed ICE to operate in previously restricted areas, targeting violent offenders more effectively.

Acting DHS Secretary Benjamine Huffman highlighted that these measures are intended to address the issue of violent criminals exploiting sensitive locations.

Trump’s immigration strategy continues to aim for mass deportations, with a focus on public safety and national security threats.

The administration has also extended enforcement authority to other law enforcement agencies to assist in investigating illegal immigrants.

Huffman noted that efforts to apprehend illegal immigrants have been under-resourced for years.

Meta’s AI glasses launch stumbles with demo failures, raising doubts about the technology’s readiness and future integration.

Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled Meta’s first so-called AI glasses, promising a crisp high-resolution display and futuristic wristband controls. But what should have been a triumph quickly turned awkward.

The $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display was billed as a breakthrough, yet the much-hyped live demo stumbled. The glasses ignored instructions during a cooking demonstration, and Zuckerberg’s Neural Band failed to answer a call from his CTO, forcing a clumsy workaround on stage.

Zuckerberg blamed WiFi issues, but the misfires raised doubts over whether Meta’s glasses are ready for prime time. For now, the vision of seamlessly blending AI with everyday eyewear seems more promise than reality.

Trump claims Kimmel’s suspension due to ratings, while Democrats call it an attack on free speech amid political tensions.

Donald Trump has claimed Jimmy Kimmel was taken off air because of poor ratings, as Democrats accuse the move of being an attack on free speech.

Jimmy Kimmel Live, a late-night staple since 2003 on Disney-owned ABC, was suddenly suspended after the host criticised Trump’s response to the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

The outspoken comedian, a frequent critic of Trump, mocked the former president’s reaction, sparking outrage among ABC’s local affiliates who pulled the show from their schedules.
