Donald Trump campaigned on a platform of mass deportation and the administration has reshaped immigration enforcement. ICE publishes detention statistics for the fiscal year every two weeks. Older releases were provided by the Vera Institute for Justice. Arrests, detentions and deportations were calculated by scraping ICE releases and comparing totals with previous releases. Arrest figures derive from the ICE Initial Book-Ins by Arresting Agency and Month: FY2025 table and may undercount because ICE reports only arrests resulting in entry to ICE detention. Detention totals come from the ICE Currently Detained by Criminality and Arresting Agency: FY2025 table and deportations come from the ICE Removals: FY2025 table.
The Guardian US, using data published every two weeks by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), is tracking the number of people the administration has arrested, detained and deported. Ice publishes detention statistics for the current fiscal year every two weeks. The Guardian US has been archiving each release of detention management statistics since January 2025 and received older releases from the Vera Institute for Justice.
The data for Ice arrests comes from the ICE Initial Book-Ins by Arresting Agency and Month: FY2025 table. Arrest figures may be an undercount because Ice reports only arrests that result in someone entering Ice detention. Detention totals come from the ICE Currently Detained by Criminality and Arresting Agency: FY2025 table. Deportations come from the ICE Removals: FY2025 table. The Guardian US did not visualize the first data release of FY2025.
