Well daily immigration arrests topped 1000 people on Monday for the first time since President Trump took office.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said they've arrested more than 3500 immigrants total, as President Trump promises the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.

According to reports from The Washington Post, the ramped up activity is due to new quotas reportedly put in place over the weekend by the white House.

Ordering all 25 ice field houses stationed across the country, including the one in Newark, to make 75 enforcement arrests daily.

Immigrant advocacy groups say they've been fielding calls from residents who are fearful they could be next.

For more, I'm joined by Alexandra Goncalves Pena, the legal services director of the American Friends Service Committee's immigrant rights program.

Alex, a couple of things I want to get to.

But first, let me ask you what constitutional rights, if any, do undocumented immigrants have in the U.S. under the fourth and Fifth Amendment of the Constitution?

Undocumented individuals, as well as United States citizens, have the right against unlawful searches and seizures, as well as the right to remain silent.

So that means, for example, that a officer, it could be a police officer or an Ice officer cannot enter certain spaces without a judicially signed warrant that is legally valid.

So if we're thinking about the incident that happened in Newark late last week, we still it's still unclear whether or not there was a warrant to enter that that business.

And we've spoken with with representatives from Ice.

They say that this was a targeted preplan operation.

It was happenstance.

The spokesperson said that it was within the first week of the Trump administration.

How targeted, though, can an operation be if we're seeing these numbers of upwards of, you know, a few thousand people who've been arrested in a week?

Correct.

And as you have likely heard, yesterday, following The Washington Post, it has been reported that there are now ice quotas.

Right?

There has been, internal memo that has been shared with all Ice district offices requiring arrests of up to 75 per day.

You know, it therefore raises the question as to how many people, how well-prepared they can be to actually actually execute 775 arrests and apprehension in each district office per day.

And this raises an incredible number of concerns, because although they might have some people identified for apprehension and removal from the United States, there are many more individuals that unfortunately, they are going to kind of catch up in their dragnet that are not their targets.

What kind of phone calls, Alex, are you fielding, and how are you advising the people who do call?

People are panicked.

We are trying to do our best to remind people to stay calm.

I know it's easier said than done, but truly stay calm and get educated on your rights.

Because I've been saying this loudly to anyone that he will, you know, hear me?

Truly, education is our shield against these attacks.

So if you know of a immigrant rights organization that is providing know your rights trainings, go to those trainings.

If you are a business owner, ask that the organization provide your business with the know your rights trainings for you, for your staff that is, you know, really the only way that we are going to be able to push back against these quite frankly, inhumane, tactics.

Let me go back to a point that you made that the people are saying that they're seeing, vehicles or Ice agents on their streets.

I mean, how are you helping folks to determine if, in fact, that's what they're seeing or if their anxiety is leading them to perhaps believe that they're seeing Ice agents on their street when they're not, in fact.

Absolutely.

And that's something very important to write.

We don't want people to panic to, you know, see, want someone that they suspect is an Ice officer.

And, you know, to share that information wildly.

We need confirmation.

Usually, though, there are some things that could pull us into whether the individual is an Ice officer.

For example, do they have the letters icy on their jacket on the on the front of them?

Do they have a badge that identifies them as Department of Homeland Security?

Important as well is to know that sometimes they can also show up with the words police, and maybe in another location on their jackets.

You know, Department of Homeland Security.

So it sometimes is a little tricky.

They could, you know, just wear police and not identify themselves.

Actually, as informs enforcement agents of the federal government.

But generally, if you do see an officer with I.C.E., e Department of Homeland Security, DHS, or even Homeland Security Investigations who see these, you are properly identified, these individual as, federal, immigration enforcement agents.

All right.

Alex, thanks so much for your time.

Thank you so much.

Take good care.
