Each U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office, including Dallas, was told to aim for about 75 arrests per day, according to an internal weekend call among ICE officials, as reported by The Washington Post and FOX News.

The arrests primarily took place in Dallas, Irving, Arlington, Fort Worth, Garland and Collin County. Federal agents detained 84 people of “varying degrees of criminality,” according to Dexter Henson, the ICE spokesperson.

"Dallas diversity is our strength," Michael Igo said. "It contributes to the economic and cultural vibrancy of our community."

U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it arrested at least 84 people Sunday in what the agency describes as a “targeted operation” meaning agents were looking for specific undocumented people with criminal backgrounds.

News of the protest spread across social media over the weekend, inviting people to "show up & speak up for those who can't."

The state has vowed to assist the president in his efforts to revamp immigration. But Texas' biggest cities and school districts are more reluctant to help.

President Donald Trump has made immigration enforcement a top priority for his administration and has supported Abbott’s immigration efforts. Texas repeatedly sued the Biden administration, targeting many of its immigration policies, some of which provided migrants legal pathways to legally enter and stay in the U.S.

In response to this significant shift, North Texas school districts have begun to prepare their students and parents for various scenarios. According to the Pew Research Center, there are almost one million undocumented immigrants under the age of 18 in the United States,

As the Trump administration tries to aggressively increase its number of immigration arrests, “sanctuary cities” are a top target.

Agents from a handful of federal agencies combined to arrest more than 40 people in the country illegally early Sunday during a raid in Adams County, Colorado, the local office of the Drug Enforcement Administration said.

The actions come as President Donald Trump and his administration have begun cracking down on illegal immigration and laying the groundwork for rapid deportations.
