As a result of a massive crackdown by police, nearly 1,000 immigrants were arrested on the 26th (local time) alone.
According to the US broadcaster CNN, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted nationwide rounds of arrests on the same day.

The crackdown was coordinated by a number of federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Transportation and Emergency Medicine (ATFE). The Washington Post reported that ICE officials had received instructions from the executive branch that they were currently making several hundred arrests a day.

ICE imposed a "quota" on each field office to arrest 75 people per day. This puts pressure on field agents to meet the quota, leading to indiscriminate crackdowns and human rights violations.

He said he did.
