ICE Held Less Than 37,000 Migrants In Detention At Close Of 2023 While More Than 6 Million Went Free, Report Shows
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) held just under 37,000 migrants in detention at the end of fiscal year 2023 while allowing more than 6 million to roam the country, according to an agency report released Friday.
The more than 6 million individuals that aren’t detained either have final orders of removal or are awaiting adjudication of their cases, according to the report. Border Patrol recorded record levels of illegal crossings at the southern border in fiscal year 2023, when there were more than 2 million encounters, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics.
While illegal immigration surges at the U.S.-Mexico border, ICE has had thousands of empty detention beds that taxpayers continue to pay to go unfilled, according to a previous Daily Caller News Foundation review of agency data.ICE Held Less Than 37,000 Migrants In Detention At Close Of 2023 While More Than 6 Million Went Free, Report Shows
