While detention numbers surge, a recent report by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) found ICE has been transferring detainees far from their arrest locations, often to private facilities operating over their contractual capacity. On April 13, ICE's 181 facilities operated at 76% of total capacity, yet 45 facilities were overfilled, including several exceeding limits by more than 100 people. Overcrowded sites were predominantly run by private contractors such as GEO Group and CoreCivic. The Krome North Service Processing Center in Miami, run by Akima Global Services, at one point held nearly triple its contracted population. TRAC questioned whether such transfers are used to move detainees to jurisdictions with fewer procedural requirements, potentially accelerating deportations.
