For the first time in four years, it appears that ICE is now responsible for more than half of all arrests leading to detention, with 52 percent of detainees originally arrested by ICE compared to 48 percent first apprehended by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

This analysis is based on some degree of inference, as once again, one of ICE’s statistical tables appears to include an error, this time one of transposition. In the table detailing arrests by agency and criminality, apprehensions made by ICE show up as CBP arrests and individuals arrested by CBP are reported as being made by ICE.

Meanwhile, the number of people reported on ICE’s “Alternatives to Detention” program has dropped to 185,511. This is down from 188,304 in the final update to ATD numbers during the Biden administration, made January 11, 2025. The ICE offices which appear to be disenrolling people from ATD in greater numbers are all located near the US-Mexico border. These include net decreases in San Diego (613 fewer enrollees), Phoenix (641), El Paso (803), San Antonio (954), and Harlingen (955).
