Overview
- Internal ICE records detail roughly 222,000 arrests from Jan. 20 to Oct. 15, with more than one third involving people with no criminal histories.
- ICE averaged about 824 arrests per day in that period, far short of a reported White House push for 3,000 daily arrests.
- Public insight is limited because ICE halted detailed arrest reporting earlier this year and the dataset lacks offense-severity breakdowns for those with prior convictions.
- About 90% of arrestees were men, led by nationals of Mexico (about 85,000), Guatemala (about 31,000) and Honduras (about 24,000), with most ages 25 to 45.
- Outcomes remain unclear, with 22,959 listed as voluntary departures and DHS reporting about 65,000 people in ICE detention, while Border Patrol’s interior arrests in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, Charlotte and New Orleans are not included.
