Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice ) officials instructed rank-and-file officers to “turn the creative knob up to 11 ” when it comes to enforcement, according to internal agency emails viewed by the Guardian .

The emails, sent by two top Ice officials this past Saturday , instructed officers around the country to increase arrest numbers over the weekend .

This followed the Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem , and the White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller , pressing immigration officials last month to jack up immigration-related arrests to at least 3,000 people a day.

Ice officers are being empowered under President Trump and Secretary Noem ’s leadership to enforce the law and arrest illegal aliens, DHS says.

Immigration expert says the push to arrest people without warrants is a divergence from Obama- and Biden -era policies.

Under the first and current Trump administrations, “everyone can be a priority”, he said.
