We document how the growth in ICE detention has been driven by a huge increase in the number of people arrested by ICE and held in detention who have no criminal record at all. We also explain how new detention policies are keeping people locked up with no ability to seek bond — making many give up.
Arrests of people with no criminal record surged by 2,450% in Trump’s first year.
This was driven by increases in tactics like “at-large” arrests, roving patrols, worksite raids, and re-arrests of people attending immigration court hearings or ICE check-ins.
