A new report by nonprofit Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) has found that, despite having a national detention capacity far exceeding its current detainee population, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has continuously transferred individuals far from their initial booking locations, sometimes to facilities operating over their contractual limits.
The practice, the report says, raises questions about ICE's operational priorities and potential efforts to fast-track deportations.
