Austin Kocher -- BREAKING: ICE Detention Crosses Record 65,000, October Arrests Top Record 40,000, Biggest Growth Among People with No Criminal History

ImmigrationProf blogger Austin Kocher on Substack looks at the first data on immigrants in detention from Immigration Customs and Enforcement since September. "In the intervening two months, which included the end of the fiscal year and the government shut-down, ICE’s total detained population grew to a record 65,135 people—most of whom had no criminal convictions. The growth in detention was driven by record numbers of ICE arrests in October, which totaled 41,641 and coincided with heavy enforcement in Chicago and other parts of the country."
