The most recent press release, "HSI investigation results in Oklahoma man’s conviction for smuggling firearm into Mexico," was submitted on March 31.
The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement published 67 press releases the month before, marking a 41 percent increase for the current month.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service (ICE) is the second largest investigative agency in the federal government.
Calls have increased since 2018 to abolish or significantly reform ICE as immigration rates in the US increase and many are turned away.
