Immigration arrests soar in St. Paul district, rest of US, under Trump administration

WASHINGTON — After 10 months of ramped-up immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump and a sharp surge of arrests across the country, the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement promised Tuesday that the agency will become even more aggressive next year.

Thomas Homan, acting director of ICE, said he wants to dramatically increase targeting of companies that hire immigrants who entered the country illegally, as well as launch community raids that snare such people in so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with his agency.
