Overview

• Homeland Security said ICE and Border Patrol reached the 5,000-arrest milestone in Los Angeles and identified the 5,000th detainee as Gustavo Garcia-Miranda, a convicted drug trafficker arrested for illegal re-entry.
• Secretary Kristi Noem praised federal officers and warned that enforcement will intensify, saying, "This is just the beginning."
• The Los Angeles operations followed months of unrest and clashes with protesters; President Trump earlier federalized 4,000 California National Guard members and deployed 700 Marines to support local authorities, according to the reporting.
• Parallel enforcement in Washington, D.C., has reported dozens of arrests nightly since Aug. 7, including one night with 87 total arrests and cases involving suspects with serious prior allegations, authorities said.
• Legal pushback continues, with a federal judge ruling that the administration cannot cut funding to sanctuary cities, underscoring ongoing court challenges to parts of the strategy.
