Before this year, the highest number of at-large arrests came in January 2023, when the Biden administration made more than 11,500. ICE is making more than four times as many at-large arrests per week as it did in President Trump’s first term, the analysis found. In the ensuing five months, ICE’s at-large arrests in communities nationwide totaled 67,800, more than twice the total number during the previous five months. By comparison, at-large arrests typically require more human and financial resources to carry out, immigration experts said. (That includes both at-large arrests and arrests at jails.)
