The most recent press release, "Multiagency investigation involving HSI Tucson leads to prison sentence for Nigerian national who defrauded elderly US victims," was submitted on Aug. 31.
The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement published 65 press releases the month before, marking a 35 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.
