"Entrapment": Trump's immigration delays fuel jump in ICE arrest targets

The backlog in Trump administration's immigration applications has ballooned to over 12.1 million, with a work slowdown by immigration offices exacerbating the delays. This backlog is pushing ICE to focus more on arresting individuals instead of processing applications, raising concerns about the potential for entrapment and the impact on legal immigrants. This situation highlights the urgent need for a more efficient immigration system, as it risks destabilizing the lives of countless individuals who rely on timely decisions.
