Immigration and Customs Enforcement has space to detain about 41,000 people a day, but Trump’s "border czar," Tom Homan, wants space to hold over double that amount.

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance had touted plans to go big with illegal immigrant arrests, but may soon face challenges beating the record.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is directing the opening of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30,000 immigrants who are living illegally in the United States. People who are in the United States illegally and are accused of theft and violent crimes would have to be detained and potentially deported even before a conviction.
