White House breaks silence as Karoline Leavitt’s relative is taken by ICE

ICE confirmed that Ferreira was taken into custody in Massachusetts earlier this month. While officials maintain she is subject to removal, her family is now trying to raise money for legal representation to fight her deportation.

Although the Trump administration has vowed large-scale deportations, ICE has not consistently made its deportation numbers public, NBC News reports.

In a briefing to Congress last year, the agency said that as of July, it had identified about 435,000 undocumented immigrants with criminal convictions who were still living in the U.S. and not in custody.
