The Trump administration is looking to deport as many as 1 million migrants this year as it ramps up enforcement operations across the country. As the White House scrambles to meet that goal, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests have increased in the past days, and detention centers remain at capacity.
The number of migrants at an ICE detention in the U.S. currently stands at 51,302, 30% more than when Trump took office in late January 2025, according to Noticias Telemundo. That number, however, is expected to increase after the Department of Homeland Security reported that it arrested over 2,000 people on different days of the week. ICE only has enough funding to detain 41,500 detainees at a time.
