On ICE

ICE has arrested over 100,000 people nationwide since January 20 2025, averaging about 750 arrests per day(Reuters). In the first 100 days, ICE made 66,463 arrests and removed 65,682 individuals to countries worldwide(ICE). While many detainees remain in overcrowded facilities, data on how many have been released is scarce—but actual deportations appear to lag behind arrests, leaving thousands in limbo(The Daily Beast)(TIME).

  • Expanded ICE powers: The administration has lifted restrictions on immigration enforcement in previously “sensitive locations” like schools, hospitals, and places of worship, leading to heightened fears in immigrant communities and even student absences in some districts.(American Immigration Council, PBS)
  • Mass raids and removals: ICE arrests have surged—tripling across western states—with many targeted individuals having no criminal convictions. Deportation flights have escalated, affecting hundreds of thousands by April 2025.(Deseret News, Wikipedia)
  • Wrongful detentions: Among those detained or deported are U.S. citizens and lawful residents—from firefighters and veterans to DACA recipients—raising serious due process and civil rights concerns.(American Immigration Council, Wikipedia, The Guardian, The Washington Post)
  • Community impact: Fear of ICE is eroding trust in local law enforcement; immigrants are less likely to report crimes or seek help—putting public safety at risk.(NPR, The Conversation)
  • Economic disruption: Intensive raids have shaken industries like agriculture, causing workforce shortages, significant crop losses, and rising produce prices.(arXiv, KCCI)
