Within a month of his inauguration in 2017, US President Donald Trump had cancelled all previous priorities for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) federal government agency - instead Trump encouraged ICE officers to arrest as many people as it could. The result was a 30% increase in immigrant arrests over the past year.
