The number of criminal illegal immigrants arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has soared during the Trump administration, authorities said Tuesday. 

Statistics vary from state-to-state, but ICE has arrested illegal immigrants convicted of various crimes, including murder, rape and other violent offenses, the agency said.

Since Trump took office in January, ICE arrests in Maryland have jumped 290% and a staggering 470% in Virginia, the agency said. In South Carolina, arrests have more than tripled.

In Michigan, ICE arrests have jumped 145% since Trump took office. Colorado and Wyoming have seen almost five times as many arrests compared to the same time period under former President Joe Biden.  

Across eight western states – Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming and California – arrests of illegal immigrants each month since January have nearly tripled.

In Chicago, ICE arrested three times as many illegal immigrants convicted of crimes during the first 150 days of the Trump administration compared to Biden’s final 150 days in office, ICE said.

Additionally, in the San Diego region, immigration arrests have increased 400% compared to this time last year.

The arrests come at a time when jurisdictions like Los Angeles and other cities have demanded that ICE stop raids targeting criminal illegal immigrants.

In addition, attacks on ICE personnel have increased 830% compared to 2024, Acting ICE director Todd Lyons told CBS' "Face the Nation" in an interview that aired Sunday.

"I think the sharp increase in the rhetoric, especially from a lot of elected officials, that are shaming, if you will, or speaking out against [the] ICE law enforcement mission, is what's really increasing these attacks on officers," he said.

A 4-year-old was hospitalized after being attacked by a mountain lion at a popular national park in Washington.

The animal, which was collared, bit a child walking with family near Victoria Overlook on Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park Sunday afternoon, according to a news release from the National Park Service.

Park rangers were alerted to the attack shortly after 3 p.m., and paramedics and park staff responded.

Immediately after the attack, rangers and a canine team began searching for the mountain lion. Staff located the animal that same day and killed the animal the next morning. 

There is no threat to the public, and the attack is under investigation, the National Park Service noted.

"Rangers are still gathering details about the incident," a spokesperson for the National Park Service told Fox News Digital in an email, adding links to information about cougar safety.
