ICE Is Responsible for More Immigrant Arrests than Border Patrol for the First Time in Four Years
By Pedro Camacho


For the first time in four years, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is responsible for more immigrant arrests than U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), according to new data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). As of February 23, ICE was accountable for 52% of the 43,759 immigrants detained, while CBP was responsible for 48%. This marks the highest detention level since November 2019, when the first Trump administration intensified enforcement. The last time ICE made more arrests than CBP was in February 2021.
