Green Card Holders Detained by ICE at Record Rates

Jan 1, 2025

Green card holders have been detained by ICE since 2025, including lawful permanent residents with decades of U.S. residence being detained at airports, courthouses, and during community operations. Cases involve old criminal convictions that previously had no immigration consequences. The National Immigration Law Center stated the current administration is targeting green card holders with past criminal records and political activity.
