Federal immigration officers made nearly 9,000 arrests in Virginia in 2025, marking a nearly 500% increase from approximately 1,500 arrests during the final year of President Biden's term. Between January and March 2025, deportation officers had already detained roughly 2,000 people in Virginia. Over 2,600 of the arrests were categorized as 'general area' arrests linked to Richmond's ICE office, and approximately 85% of those arrested had not been charged with a crime.
