ICE agents are arresting more immigrants on the streets and at routine check-ins than under President Biden.

Most of them don’t have criminal convictions despite pledges to pursue “the worst of the worst.” www.texastribune.org/2025/11/03/t...
This chart shows how ICE arrests in Texas have increased wince Trump took office. While there were thousands of ICE arrests under the Biden administration, they never exceeded 4,000 a month. Each month from February to July 2025, ICE arrests have exceeded 4,000 a month. In June 2025, ICE arrests reached around 7,400. ICE data used in this chart was provided by the Deportation Data Project.

A Texas Tribune analysis has found that this explosion of vaccine non-compliance has played out across many school districts in the state in recent years, helping to push Texas’ measles vaccine coverage to the lowest it’s been since at least 2011. www.texastribune.org/2025/10/13/t...
This chart shows the percentage of Texas kindergarteners who were not vaccinated or fully vaccinated with the M M R vaccine each school year between the 2014-2015 school year and the 2024-2025 school year. The portion of kindergarteners in the state who received conscientious exemptions for the M M R vaccine rose from just above one percent in the 2014-2015 school year to almost four percent in the 2024-2025 school year. The portion of kindergarteners who were delinquent in their M M R vaccines were just under one percent in the 2014-2015 school year, spiked up to about three percent in the 2021-2022 school year, and are now at about 2.7 percent in the last school year. Data in this chart comes from the Texas Department of State Health Services.
