Overview

• ICE is constructing large-scale tent camps on military bases and other sites to expand its detention capacity from around 58,000 to 100,000 beds by year-end.
• A July directive by acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons bars bond hearings for migrants who crossed irregularly, shifting release decisions to immigration officers.
• Under new data-sharing agreements, ICE now has access to personal information from 79 million Medicaid beneficiaries and is demanding landlord records to locate undocumented migrants.
• The administration has set a target of about 3,000 interior migrant arrests per day as part of its intensified enforcement plan.
• States and civil rights advocates have filed lawsuits challenging the privacy implications of the data transfers and the legality of the no-bond policy.
