More than 800 immigrants in New York City have been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since August in so-called "collateral" arrests, with 85% of those detained having no criminal history, according to newly obtained agency data analyzed by THE CITY.
The figures show that 811 people were arrested not as primary targets but because they were present during enforcement operations. These arrests accounted for roughly 24% of all ICE detentions in the city between August 2025 and March 10.
