QUANTIFYING IMMIGRATION COURT ARRESTS by Joseph Gunther

The U.S. government in the last few months has been arresting noncitizens who appear at immigration court proceedings. QUANTIFYING IMMIGRATION COURT ARRESTS by Joseph Gunther estimates the number of arrests at immigration court. CBS News reports on the study. "New York City has seen 460 ICE arrests this year through July that likely took place in immigration court, more than in any other city . . . . The estimates, by mathematician Joseph Gunther, are the first attempt to quantify arrests in immigration courts at a national level. Gunther identified nearly 2,400 ICE arrests likely made in immigration courts across the country, a total he said may still be an undercount." (bold added).
