Looks like I'm off by a mile:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is arresting and detaining roughly 2,000 people per day (translating to about 10,000 arrests over a recent five-day span), with the total daily immigration detention population surpassing 73,400 people.
Key data points regarding ICE detention rates and populations include:
• Daily Arrests: ICE has averaged around 1,264 to 2,000 arrests per day during recent surges, a sharp increase compared to historical rates of roughly 300 arrests per day prior to the current administration's mass enforcement agenda.
• Total Detained Population: The daily detained population reached a record high of over 73,400 people on a single day, with individual daily peaks exceeding 73,000.
• Alternatives to Detention (ATD): In addition to physical custody, ICE monitors approximately 183,181 families and single individuals through its Alternatives to Detention programs (which use ankle monitors and smartphone apps).
• Tracking Sources: You can review ongoing daily tracking and facility metrics via the Vera Institute ICE Detention Trends Dashboard or the TRAC Immigration Quick Facts.
