The most recent press release, "ERO Boston arrests fugitive noncitizen convicted of firearms charges in Brazil," was submitted on May 31.
The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement published 78 press releases the month before, marking a 12 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.
