Overview

  • The DHS has dropped age restrictions so applicants as young as 18 can join ICE and is offering up to $50 000 in signing bonuses, student loan forgiveness and extra overtime to recruit up to 10 000 new agents.
  • ICE’s daily average arrests climbed from about 1 000 in January to 3 000 by late June, totaling more than 109 000 interior detentions in the first half of 2025.
  • Approximately 12 000 of those detained were Honduran nationals, making Honduras the third most represented country after Mexico and Guatemala.
  • Operations remain heavily concentrated in eight states—led by Texas (23.2%), Florida (11.1%) and California (7.1%)—which together account for over half of all ICE detentions.
  • Tactics differ by state political control, with 59% of arrests in Republican-led jurisdictions occurring in prisons and 70% of detentions in Democratic-led areas happening through community raids, as legal challenges to expedited deportations and bond-hearing bans proceed.
