The Administration is still having difficulty getting arrests and deportations up:

So far, federal data shows that the administration has made nearly 23,000 arrests in the past month, up sharply compared with the Biden administration. But daily arrests have fallen since immigration agents exploded out of the gates in the opening days of Mr. Trump’s term. And deportations have not kept pace with the number of arrests, which means that the number of people waiting in ICE detention has surged, straining resources. Mr. Trump has so far been happy with the progress in driving down the number of border crossings to historic lows, people familiar with his thinking say. But the pace of deportations has been a source of vexation in particular for Mr. Homan and Stephen Miller, the architect of the president’s aggressive immigration policies, who know that the clock is ticking to make good on the president’s plan.

Efforts to supplement the arrest and detention rates with resources from other governmental agencies, like law enforcement and defense, do not appear to have been very successful. So these rates will stay well below where the Administration wants them to be until Congress appropriates more money for the effort.
