Former Dallas-Fort Worth ICE Chief Counsel, and current DMCA partner, Paul Hunker provided insight into ICE’s arrests over the weekend.

From the article:

“It’s a plan that some former ICE officials say will take time to implement, at an agency with limited resources.

‘It’s very challenging because ICE doesn’t have any more officers than it had before Trump became president,’ said Paul Hunker, who served as chief legal counsel at ICE in Dallas where he was involved in enforcement operations.

Hunker says the agency would likely need assistance from other federal law enforcement agencies to quickly ramp up arrests, and more money from Congress to hire additional agents to sustain those efforts.

‘There’s only so many officers. So in terms of large scale, you know, hundreds of people being arrested every day in the community, I doubt we’re going to see that in the short run,’ said Hunker.”
