Maby this could be a balanced article, that comes up with some Numbers:
Normal day under Biden Administration:. 310 arrests /day (from october 23 to september 24)
First day under trump they write: ’On Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) touted 538 arrests and 373 detainers lodged against illegal immigrants, with action in New York, Colorado, and Minnesota.’ [^1]
Arrest: ’An arrest happens when an officer has probable cause to believe that a person was or is about to be involved in criminal activity. It is long-term and results in the restrictions of the individual’s freedoms.’ [^2]
Detention: ’A detention occurs when a police officer has reasonable suspicion to believe that someone has committed or is about to commit a crime. It is short-term, lasting long enough for the officer to investigate and determine the next steps.’ [^2]

So how are people seeing a noticeable difference and others complaining? Biden in however many years making an average of 300ish arrests Vs a few days of Trump in power.
You really shouldn't be able to see any difference at such an early stage if the numbers are correct, right? I have no idea lol
I would also argue that any analysis needs to be done over a longer period of time. In this short time there is no possibility to say if this was an efficiency increase in border police action or just a Hollywood show, where they have raided people, that do an honorable job all day.
