Internal ICE Dataset Reveals 220,000 Arrests Through Oct. 15, With Nearly 75,000 Lacking Criminal Records

UC Berkeley researchers obtained the internal records through a lawsuit following the halt in public ICE data.

Más de un tercio de los 220 mil inmigrantes detenidos por el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de Estados Unidos (ICE) en los primeros nueves meses de la administración del presidente Donald Trump no contaban con antecedentes penales.
El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos anunció la deportación de 13 narcotraficantes mexicanos a su país de origen, con el objetivo de que cumplan el resto de sus sentencias penales en cárceles mexicanas.

Overview

  • Newly released ICE records show nearly one in three people arrested between Jan. 20 and Oct. 15 had no criminal record, undercutting the administration’s stated focus on dangerous offenders.
  • The dataset excludes Border Patrol arrests and does not indicate how many arrests led to deportations, though 22,959 cases are categorized as voluntary departures.
  • Mexicans make up the largest group in the records at about 85,000, followed by Guatemala at roughly 31,000 and Honduras at about 24,000, with about 90% of those arrested being men and most in working age.
  • ICE operations have recently intensified in Democratic-led cities such as New Orleans and the Twin Cities, where authorities report new arrests.
  • DHS did not respond to requests for comment, and public figures indicate ICE is currently holding about 65,000 people in detention.
