The number of illegals being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement has slipped.
According to a new report from Axios, the average daily number of ICE detentions has fallen to 58,000.
Despite the going on a $38 billion spree to expand detention capacity, ICE now has a declining detention population—in contrast to the first year of the new Trump administration, when the population was rapidly growing.
Data released by ICE showed a peak of around 72,000 migrants in custody in January of this year.
By April, that figure had fallen to just over 60,000.
“ICE actually has more capacity right now than they have people in custody,” Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said at an event this week.
Those comments were echoed by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin at a press conference in a few days later, when he said ICE’s only family detention center was “not even close to being at capacity.”
Although arrests, detentions and deportations are still significantly higher than during President Biden’s term, they are still short of the goal of 3,000 daily arrests set by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
Aggressive targeted enforcement actions in leftist-controlled cities were abandoned after the death of two liberal activists in Minneapolis at the beginning of the year.

Question: They deport them to their mother country, then what? Do they reorganize and continue their life style at the peril of the citizens of whatever country that is? By the time we finish deporting 4 million of them, will they form a revolutionary guard once standing on home ground? They are seething with hatred for white skinned people and even peasants of their own race. Its like boxing up timber rattle snakes and dropping them off down the road to rise again somewhere else.
BECAUSE. THEY. ARE. BEING. DEPORTED.
Holy shit, this slanted reporting is worse than MSM.
No, they’re not being deported.
