ICE has arrested over 32,000 migrants who are living in the United States without legal status since Jan. 21, according to Department of Homeland Security officials.

In fiscal year 2024, ICE recorded 33,242 at-large arrests—which refers to arrests made in community settings rather than jails or border checkpoints. In the first 50 days of Trump's second term, ICE has made 32,809 at-large arrests, nearly matching the total from the entire previous year.

With President Trump back in office, ICE has made 32,000 arrests in the first 50 days of the new administration — and 70% are either facing charges or have been convicted of crimes, senior agency officials said Wednesday. The arrests have already “maxed out” ICE detention beds across the country.

People across the U.S. protested over the ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. He is accused of leading activities aligned with Hamas.
