Overview

• After a 3,000-arrests-per-day quota was imposed in late May, ICE arrests rose by 30% in May and another 28% in June.
• As of June 29, ICE was detaining 57,861 people, 71.7% of whom had no criminal convictions.
• ICE data show that by June 23, 84% of detainees had not been assigned any threat level.
• An NBC News fact check found only 0.4% of arrestees were convicted of murder and 1.8% faced sexual assault charges, contradicting the administration’s “laser-focused” claims.
• A farmworker died after falling from a greenhouse roof during an ICE raid at a California cannabis farm, marking the first known fatality linked to the enforcement surge.
