ICE's detainee population has reached a record high of approximately 73,000 individuals, surpassing 70,000 for the first time in the agency's 23-year history. This represents an 84% increase from the same time in 2025 when the detention population was below 40,000. The Trump administration has stated its goal of detaining upwards of 100,000 immigration detainees at any given time as part of a broad deportation crackdown.
